I copied this from another source, wanted to share. —-A Response to the Blasphemy Portrayed in the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris: There is one true God. There is only one Way to that God. There is one Savior. He came to sinners, lived, died, and rose again to take the sins of the world upon Himself to pay the penalty of sin for the world of sinners He loves. There is one Spirit that is revealing this incomprehensible grace, mercy, and love to those who will receive it. Darkness knows this, Satan (the enemy) knows this, and on the world's biggest stages there is a reason that Atheism is not mocked, Hinduism is not mocked, Islam is not mocked, Daoism is not mocked, Spiritualism is not mocked, Buddhism is not mocked. Because they do not threaten the dominion of darkness. Yet time and time again, Jehovah God is mocked by debauchery and blasphemy against His holy name and righteosuness. There is a part of me that wants to get angry, a part of me that is frustrated that I'm left once again to explain things to my boys that I shouldn't have to; but just as soon as I begin to get upset, I'm reminded by the Holy Spirit, that God is in control, Jesus is coming again, and my battle is not with the hearts of man, but with demonic forces along with the schemes and devices of the devil. There is a reason why the Christian faith is constantly under ridicule, scrutiny, mockery, and attack on every platform all around the world. That's because there is only one faith that threatens the darkness, only one God that promises the demise of Satan, only one name that the demons fear and flee. Christianity offers the only hope of this world, because it professes the Son of God who came to be the Savior of the world, and His name is Jesus. He's the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Creator and Sustainer, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Mock Him, drag His name through the mud, dismiss His followers, but one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is the Son of God and He will judge all the earth, where everyone will give account of their lives before Him on His holy throne. I'm no longer shocked by the things accepted by the world or what demonic things are celebrated. I'm not surprised by the satanic imagery included in pop culture, halftime shows, or Olympic opening ceremonies; because I know my enemy, the devil, is fighting to keep the world from knowing Jesus. Seeing such things only further invigorates and motivates me to take seriously my call to spread the Gospel, to be the light in the darkness, and to show others the love of Jesus. So let the world scoff, let the enemy parade his best efforts to hinder the Gospel, because in the end Jesus wins! For daily prayers, Gods word and encouragement! Welcome everyone to add Pastor Alfred Nizeyimana as friends and as a brother in Christ service! It’s all about Jesus and his great commission 🕊️🙌🙏✝️❤️ #Jesus #Olympics #GreatCommission Ephesians 6:12, Philippians 2:9-11, 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 Corinthians 9:25, Matthew 24:37-39—

More than ever before, today’s moral climate compels us to engage the culture as Christ’s ambassadors, making the appeal on His behalf for people to come to Him and be reconciled to God. We know the answer to all the darkness of this world is the Light of the world. And the answer to all of society’s ills is the same now as it has always been: a sinful, wicked heart made brand new by the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Jesus Christ is the Light of the world, and He makes all things new, including our wicked hearts. The “bumper sticker” saying is true: Jesus is the answer. So let’s stay on our knees and in His Word, and keep appealing to all people to come to Him and be reconciled to God. From the daily devotional Winning Walk

There is a man, the one who weeps for the Grunts. He is shrouded in dust and mud and hate and blood. He carries a thousand souls in his pocket and a hundred lives in his heart. He checks the trucks and makes them ready; he smokes the cigarettes, grips his hands until his knuckles are loose, and grinds his teeth to keep his hands steady and his knees from shaking. He keeps silent most of the time…the shadow of the Infantry…close at hand yet always apart. He walks into danger and never backs down. He never asks why and he never second-guesses his mission. Yet he dreads the call…the scream of a familiar voice that rises above the din of battle because he knows it’s that scream that will make his job necessary. So he dreads it…and he welcomes it...his purpose and his curse. He listens as it starts; Hoping it doesn’t happen and praying he is fast enough when it does… and then the silence… and now the rage… and above it all… “MEEEEDDDDIIIIIICCCCC” “DOC!” Dynamite goes off in his veins and everything becomes a blur. He is at the side of a man he calls Brother and he’s doing everything he can to keep him alive… ”Stay alive…look at me…you’re going to be alright…it’s nothing…” But his brain is screaming as hands delve into the open wounds… ”Grab this...” “Pinch that”… ”Call for nine-line NOW!” Jesus…let’s get him moved!” …everything’s is a blur …no emotion yet …just the job…keep low...wait for Dust Off... *crack*... *snap*... "not today..." ..."stay with me...angels inbound"... Hours later, after the rush wears off, you can find him at the CSH holding hands with the man while they work on him. “Doc, it’s time to go” ...no answer ...don’t expect one... Doc don't leave his boys. Who is this man? What makes him so? He is God’s Savage Angel and he reaps the battlefield and robs the enemy of their victory! This, this man, the MEDIC, the Corpsman is St. Michael’s own chosen - the only understanding soul a Grunt really has. If the Infantry is Death, Then the Medic is a thief - stealing life from the blood-thirsty devil and giving it back to his beloved Grunts. The Savage Angel and Death’s own Specter… Together on the battlefield... Brothers... Never to be parted. - Preacher, Admin from Gruntworks

”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.“ ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Trust is a word most of us don’t throw around lightly. In combat, we trust in our own training, the training of our crew, the customer, the intel, the equipment, etc. Remember your first time in combat, then flash forward to your last. As our level of experience grows, we are able to function through chaos with a mindset and demeanor that is unteachable, it is only earned from the experience we gain through hardships, victories, defeats, “close calls”, good decisions, bad decisions, etc. I can think back through my Christian journey the same way. From where I started, to where I am today, all of the hardships, victories, defeats, etc., prepared me for today. Today I have a choice. I can go through life, with a “hair on fire” attitude; overreacting, overthinking, and trying to do things my way. Or I can walk with confidence and trust that He has a plan for me, and through the hardships, he has strengthened and emboldened me, preparing me for victory in His name. I pray I do it better today than yesterday. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

Fall In! And, on your needs. THIS is how Brothers in Arms fight the good fight. Acts 3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.

COL (R) Ernest Wayne Underwood- Call his healing into His Kingdom. Let us pray in the name of Jesus. ***My Dad is dealing with complications from COVID. I need Warriors. I'm asking God to receive your prayers, and I'm lifting you up in prayer, that your swords can reach the heart of the demon. Please, speak a miracle into this world by the power Christ. Call out Ernest Wayne Underwood. Allow this prayer to move the Holy Spirit through his Lungs, and destroy this infection. Speak into his life, that the sin and disease be gone by the power of the Almighty, in the name of Jesus Christ. When the Father's Will be done, if it is not my Father that is healed, I know that your voices will cause the ground, under the Devil's feet, to shake and send a shiver into his cold, dark heart. We will manifest God's kingdom through this powerful calling- somewhere in the world. A miracle will manifest. I pray all eyes witness this miracle, and it moves thousands closer to the glory God wants for the world, and his children. Sincerely, Clint (Your grateful and broken Brother in Christ) Amen.

Christians, unlike gingerbread men, are not all cut with the same cookie cutter. Christians come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and cultures. But we are all cut from the same dough: Faith In Jesus! https://youtu.be/1TyLXShB9DU?si=NKQVCqoHHW7EVFqi

The Hero Treatment program is a rehab facility here in Louisiana that treats veterans recovering from drug and alcohol addiction as well as PTSD. I just wanted to celebrate a victory in our community, 3 guys were baptized yesterday. They voluntarily left their life of addiction to pursue sobriety and recovery through the chain breaking, healing power of Jesus Christ. ”Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,“ ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭103‬:‭2‬-‭4‬

I want to share a couple of verses that showcase the reality and understanding of who Jesus is through the eyes of the disciples. They shared their testimonies throughout the Roman Empire and beyond, in the synagogues and in the streets. They were beaten, ridiculed, and imprisoned, yet they carried on. One by one they were gruesomely executed, holding on to their faith until the last breath. With the knowledge of their brothers execution, they did not waiver in their mission. What they saw, they couldn’t keep to themselves, regardless of the cost. If you strip it down to the bare minimum act, they were killed for sharing “their” truth. With the literal risk of life and limb, how many of us would have just stopped sharing? What they saw in those 3 years had to be told. It removed the need to hold on to this life; they saw eternity. If you struggle with faith or believing, try starting here. ”That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.“ ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

🎄 Merry Christmas to all my beloved family and friends! 🎅🎁 As we gather around the Christmas tree, exchanging gifts and sharing laughter, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt wishes to each and every one of you. This special time of year brings us closer together, reminding us of the love and joy we share as a family and as friends. To my family, thank you for being my rock, my support system, and my source of endless love. Your presence in my life is the greatest gift I could ever ask for. May this Christmas be filled with warmth, happiness, and cherished moments that we will treasure forever. To my friends, you are the family I chose, and I am grateful for the incredible bond we share. Through thick and thin, you have stood by my side, bringing laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories into my life. May this Christmas season bring you peace, love, and an abundance of joy. As we gather around the table, savoring delicious food and enjoying each other's company, let's remember the true reason for this season. It's not just about the presents or the decorations; it's about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and the message of love, hope, and forgiveness that He brought to the world. May this Christmas fill your hearts with love, your homes with warmth, and your lives with endless blessings. May the joy and magic of this season be with you today and throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas, my dear family and friends! I am truly blessed to have you in my life. 🎅🎄❤️

Life can be raw and rough sometimes. Not everything is smooth and pretty. But when we are struggling, remember that we are not alone. Jesus will not forsake you. Call his name and he will answer. Matthew 7:7-11 ESV “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"

PJ’s Veteran’s Day Sermon: TO THE WARTIME VETERAN: There is a saying that says, “The war is never over in the mind of the warrior”. I sincerely believe that! When I returned from the war, I went “nuts” for 9 years. Life was difficult, as I experienced nightmares and daymares. I could not quiet my mind as visions of the unthinkable raced through my mind. Today, they call it Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD}. I tried everything the world offered for help; visits to the Psychiatrist, meds, alcohol, sex, and anything I thought would help. Sometimes I would pretend that it helped. In reality, nothing helped, nothing. I felt so alone, even in the midst of a crowd. Now, if you are a Wartime Veteran, EMT, Police Officer, etc., that has “experienced the unthinkable”, reading this, please hear this truth and cognitively receive it, THERE IS HELP! Help is not in what the world offers, but rather in what God offers you.He offers you what you are really looking for, Healing and Peace. The Lord says: “For I will restore health unto thee, And I will HEAL thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD”. Jeremiah 30:17 “You will keep him in perfect PEACE; Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You”. Isaiah 26:3 Jesus says: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” Matthew 11: 28-2 How do you “Come unto Jesus”? Here is what worked for me. I simply prayed, “Jesus, if you are real, HELP”. And with that simple prayer, the help I was seeking began! Thank you for your service. You’re not home yet, but with Jesus, one day you will be Home!
