JESUS AND THE FOLDED NAPKIN.
I'm sure by now we know that before Jesus left the tomb, He folded the napkin that was placed around His head.
John 20:6-7
Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,

I was meditating on Matthew 6:33 and the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation. This scripture is so rich 🔥

Right now we're looking for things that are supposed to be looking for us simply because we fail to follow Biblical protocol.

To those shaming and criticizing Christian women for not getting married “young enough”, why don’t you try dating as a woman that strives to honor the Lord in this current climate like we are?
Try dating as a woman of God in a hookup culture which has negatively affected coupling across the board. Try looking for someone that has values that align with yours—it’s not impossible, but it’s hard. They are few and far between.
Men of high honor are more rare, just like women of high honor are. Not everyone meets a suitable mate in high school or college. We are not passing up “good men” because they aren’t Chads, aren’t 6ft. tall or don’t make over 6 figures.
We’re looking for good, spiritually competent men that will be able to lead our families in Christ. While they exist, there are fewer of them than there are men who don’t share our values, not to mention that there are many men that claim to be “Christian” but their lifestyles don’t indicate that they are followers of Christ. The same goes for many women as well.
We, at least I, refuse to settle for men that don’t respect our boundaries or align with our values. It’s not worth it. I’d rather wait for the right man than marry the wrong one out of desperation to be a wife.
We’re trying. Dating is hard. It’s messy. It’s not God’s design. Give us grace like you would the men that are dating, too. I’m tired of seeing men reply to womens’ posts about how they’ve “hit the wall” or are worthless because they didn’t get married at 22. This has to stop. Everyone’s journey is different. Repent and touch grass.
Let me tell a short story. Whenever this happens, I just force myself to keep pleading the blood of Jesus and I’m fine.
Till one fateful day, I was scrolling through the TL and saw a post where someone said it was sleep paralysis and I just needed to stay calm and wait it out .
I made a mental note and kept it moving. I was sleeping months later and felt that suffocating feeling and I tried to move my body but I couldn’t.
In that subconscious state, I recalled that they said I shouldn’t shout the blood of Jesus. That I should lay still and wait it out.
My brethren, I laid still and the devil was about to snuff life out of me. I forced my self to mutter the blood of Jesus and I was free.
Moral of the story is don’t practice everything you see make person for no go die
Anti-Venom
“A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. Deadliest snake that lives around here. The sheep’s face swelled up and hurt her terribly.
But the old rattlesnake didn't know the kind of blood that flows through the sheep. Anti-venom is most often made from sheep's blood. The sheep swelled for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the venom of the serpent. I was worried but the sheep didn't care. She kept on eating, kept on drinking and kept on climbing because she knew she was alright.
Often the serpents of this life will reach out and bite us. They inject their poison into us but they cannot overcome the Blood of the Lamb of God that washes away the sin of the world and the sting of death. Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just make sure that the Lamb's Blood is flowing through your veins.”
Please know and understand that the Blood that was shed for you and I on the Cross at Calvary has UNLIMITED POWER and no evil serpent from hell can overcome said power!!! WALK IN STRENGTH knowing that thy Holy Spirit in YOU and I will and shall overcome any so called evil that tries to befall us!!!
"When I told my father I was going to marry Jake he said, ‘If you marry that man you will never set foot in this house again.’
He was horrified that I could contemplate marrying a black man, and I soon learned that most people felt the same way. The first years of our marriage living in Birmingham were hell — I cried every day, and barely ate. No one would speak to us, we couldn’t find anywhere to live because no one would rent to a black man, and we had no money.
People would point at us in the street. Then I gave birth to a stillborn son at eight months. It wasn’t related to the stress I was under but it broke my heart, and we never had any more children.
We were at the same technical college. I was having typing and shorthand lessons and he’d been sent there for training by the Air Force. He was with a group of black friends and they called my friend and me over to talk. We didn’t even know they spoke English, but Jake and I got chatting. He quoted Shakespeare to me, which I loved.
Jake returned to Trinidad, but we carried on writing to each other, and a few years later he returned to the UK to get better paid work.
He asked me to marry him, quite out of the blue, when I was only 19. My father threw me out, and I left with only one small suitcase to my name. No family came to our register office wedding in 1948.
But gradually life became easier. I got teaching jobs, ending up as a deputy head teacher. First Jake worked in a factory, then for the Post Office.
Slowly we made friends together, but it was so hard. I used to say to new friends: ‘Look, I have to tell you this before I invite you to my home — my husband is black.’
My father died when I was 30 and although we were reconciled by then, he never did approve of Jake.
Today we have been married for 63 years, and are still very much in love. I do not regret marrying him for an instant, despite all the pain we have suffered."
