God Knows It All Isaiah 46:5-11 tells us that man-made idols cannot help us. No matter if they are made of gold or silver, they are powerless. God is uniquely Himself. There is no one else like Him. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows it all. What He has spoken, will happen. What He said, will occur. He knows the past, present and future. Jesus is the “Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” Rev. 1:8;22:13. That’s great news. Nothing takes Him by surprise. He’s never confused nor ignorant. Therefore, we can trust Him with everything and everyone. He’s the only “Know it all.” Put your past, present and future in His Hands. He is in control. Jesus can be trusted with your life and every situation in life. God bless you and keep you, Pastor Rich ☝😀

The spirit of Jezebel: 1 Kings 16:31; 18:4; 19:1; 21:5; 23:2; 2 Kings 9:10-36. Jezebel means" not exalted." She was a Phoenician princess and later the wife of King Ahab during 900 BC. She worshiped the god called Baal (nature and fertility god) and introduced him to Israel. Adults would gather around the altar of Baal. Infants would be burned alive as a sacrificial offering to him. This was intended to bring economic prosperity. Baal means "owner," or "lord." In Revelation 2:18-29 Jesus talks about Jezebel.

Believing to See.... Psalm 27:13-14 Faith allows us to see the goodness of the Lord. God wants you to outlive your troubles, doubts, trials, testings and temptations. We need to believe God for deliverance, healing, salvation and miracles. Believe to see what God is doing in your life. Be of good courage. Be strong. Hopeful. Don't fear. God strengthens your heart (Ps. 73:26). God holds you up (Is. 41:12). God keeps you from fainting (Luke 18:1). Remain confident in God. Continue to hope for what you do not yet see (Rom. 8:24). Don't let your hear fail because of the "Goliath" in you life (1 Sam.17:32). Trust in the Lord (Pr. 3:5,6). Wait on the Lord by praying, serving, expecting, and being humble. Believe to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
The Church: 1 Timothy 3:15-16 Paul wrote this Epistle (letter) to Timothy who was a Pastor of the church in Ephesus. Paul titled the Church as the House of God and church of the living God. God is not dead! He is a living God! God is actively and personally working in His church. The church is the pillar and ground of the truth. It is the basis of truth. It holds up, displays, supports and sustains the truth. It is the stable, permanent and secure foundation of truth of the Bible. The church is called to preserve, defend, maintain and transmit the Gospel truth. Religions, opinions, and false teachings change, vanish and are exposed, but the church remains unshaken, preserved and unmovable in its resolve to preach the Word. The truths of the church, as mentioned in the Bible are: God was manifest in the flesh. Jesus is God in the flesh. Jesus is approved, testified and acknowledged by the Holy Spirit. Jesus has been seen by angels at His birth, life and resurrection. Jesus is preach
