An inmate told me something I haven’t been able to stop thinking about:

“I’ve searched my whole life trying to find my purpose, and I didn’t find it until I read this Book.” He pointed to the Bible.

“I tried women. Money. Drugs. And I always came up short. But when I started reading these pages, I finally found out what I was created for.”

So simple. So profound.

People spend their entire lives searching for purpose in things that were never designed to give it to them.

We were created, first and foremost, for fellowship with God.

You can have money, relationships, success, possessions—and still feel like something is missing. Because if you have everything but the One you were created for, you’re still empty.

Your purpose doesn’t begin with discovering what you’re supposed to do. It starts with discovering Who you were created to know.

Past hurts can make you bitter or better. The choice is yours.

Charlie was murdered by the Dark for showing people the Light

One year ago, we tragically lost a fearless patriot. A champion for freedom and for our country.

Charlie Kirk changed the course of American history. His courage, conviction, and love of country will never be forgotten. ❤️

The progression of NO PROGRESSION

1. Discontentment — “I’m not happy with where I am.”

You stop appreciating what God is doing because you become consumed with what He hasn’t done yet.

2. Ingratitude — “I should have been promoted by now.”

Discontentment, left unchecked, eventually blinds you to the very things you once PRAYED for. What used to feel like a blessing now feels like it’s not enough.

3. Entitlement — “I deserve more.”

What was once received with gratitude as a blessing is now treated as something you’re owed.

4. Bitterness — “Why do they have what I should have?”

Entitlement eventually turns into resentment. Instead of celebrating the progress of others, you become offended by it because you believe their opportunity should have been yours.

5. Pride — “I know better.”

Bitterness makes correction offensive. Instead of examining yourself, you blame people, circumstances, leadership—even God. You become convinced that everyone else is the problem.

6. Destruction — “Fine. I’ll do it my way.”

Pride goes before destruction and ultimately separates you from the very wisdom, relationships, correction, and covering that could have moved you forward.

For quick progression do the OPPOSITE of the above! 👆🏾

A HUMAN BEING👇‼️🇺🇸👀

[SketchDanger @SketchDanger]

JESUS DIED AT 33 YEARS OLD... The human spine has 33 vertebrae. The same structure that holds us up is the same number of years He held this Earth.

We have 12 ribs on each side. 12 disciples. 12 tribes of Israel. God built His design into our bones. He wrote Heaven into our anatomy.

The vagus nerve runs from your brain to your heart and gut. It calms storms inside the body. It looks just like a cross. That’s the power source running through us. Every time your body heals, every time your heart slows in prayer, every time peace shows up when it shouldn’t…that’s Him.

Jesus rose on the third day. Science tells us that when you fast for 3 days, your body starts regenerating. Old cells die. New ones are born. Healing begins. Your body literally resurrects itself. That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

And it keeps going.

Your heart has an electrical rhythm. Your brain lights up when you pray. Tears contain different chemicals depending on if you're crying from joy or grief. The blood speaks. The bones store memory. The body worships whether you realize it or not.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are walking prophecy. Walking tabernacles. Dust and divinity in one.

God didn’t just create you. He carved Himself into you.

You don’t need to look far to find Him. You just need to look inward. He’s been in the design since the beginning. - Todd Parry

[Adalis Shuttlesworth @BonaFideAdalis]

Grace is Gods power to become what we never could become without Him.

Remove holiness.
Remove obedience.
Remove sacrifice.
Remove generosity.
Remove discipline.
Remove repentance.

Eventually, you create a Christianity where Jesus paid the highest price—and NOTHING in the believer has to change. Crazy!

Look at 1 Cor. 15:10!!

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”

More grace didn’t produce less effort in Paul’s life— it increased his capacity for more!

ELON: THE NOTION OF FORGIVENESS IS IMPORTANT

“I do believe that the teachings of Jesus are good and wise.

There's tremendous wisdom in Turn the other cheek.

For a while, when I was hearing that, I thought, that's really a weak thing.

And with respect to bullies at school, I think you shouldn't turn the other cheek.

You should punch them on the nose and then thereafter make peace with them.

But this notion of forgiveness is important.

I think it's essential because if you don't forgive, then an eye for an eye makes everyone blind.”

🚨PLEASE READ & REPOST.

How do you get from a Middle Eastern terror cell to the Mexican border?

You can’t fly. Your passport would be rejected.

You must travel unofficially by ship (oil, cargo, etc.) to Central America, which requires payment to several terror organizations to ensure passage through the Gulf of Aden, Red Sea, etc.

Once in Central America, you’re still a long way from Texas. Transport requires payment to Mexican Based Cartels, who oversee travel arrangements and border crossing.

Now the United States part.

You now are forced to believe one of two things:

1. Either the United States military & government is unable to secure our southern border—which would mean that foreign terror cells have already overrun our country, possess United States ports of entry—and thus control the United States.

Or

2. The United States military & government is unwilling to secure the southern border because they (CIA, FBI, and high ranking gov’t officials) decided to enjoy a share of revenue involved in this operation rather than fulfill their sworn duty as elected officials to uphold the Constitution and protect the people of the United States.

Am I missing something? Is their a third option? Or have our elected officials and federal agencies shaken hands with Middle East terror cells and cartels to facilitate a planned invasion of The United States of America by her Jihadist enemies?

Why else was Texas SUED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT for attempting to close the border?
