Daily Thread – Acts 26 NKJV

Paul’s Early Life

26 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.”

So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself: “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

“My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know. They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope’s sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?

“Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things [a]contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11 And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

 

Good morning and welcome

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

  • Good Morning. God Bless All Here Today.

    ..........., Before The Bread
    Monday, November 4, 2024
    There's a secret of abundant life and victory found in The Lord's Prayer. It said, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," and, "Give us this day our daily bread-". The secret is right there: the will- "Your will be done"- and the want- "Give us this day our daily bread". Notice, it's the will that comes first. Messiah gave us this to be the model prayer of our heart. God does care about your needs and desires, but He doesn't want you to be wrapped up in them. If you want to live victoriously, do it according to The Lord's Prayer. Put His will before your want, even before your need. If you live by what you want or need, your life will always be wanting and needy. But if you live by His will, your life will always be in His will. So, seek His will above your needs and you won't dwell in need. Live by His will, not by your want, and you'll never be wanting for any good thing.
    From Message #482 - As it is in Heaven
    Scripture: Psalm 34:10
    Today's Mission - Today, put the Lord's will before your wants and needs.

    • For the past 3 weeks my pastor has been doing a series of sermons on praying. It's given me pause, have I been praying for Him or just for me? Eye opening.

  • Good morning. I woke up to rain, but in towns in the high country, they're waking up to over a foot of snow!

    • Wow. When I lived up north it was snowing in late October. I think we're supposed to get rain this week and we need it.

  • He says I have not committed any sin. I am judged for the hope the Jews always have held to be true -- the resurrection of the dead.

  • Just received this email.....

    Kamala’s 5000 Lawyer Army!
    This Must Be a Landslide Victory
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    5000 LAWYERS! Kamala Harris is preparing to fight to the death over the results of this election! Slim margins can be won through lawfare!

    The notion that Kamala Harris has hired 5,000 lawyers to engage in intense legal battles over election results should serve as a wake-up call in our final hours.

    The deployment of such a large force of legal professionals hints at a potentially unprecedented reliance on legal maneuvers to sway outcomes in critical races.

    With slim margins making the difference in tightly contested elections, every legal angle could be used to contest, challenge, and shape the results.

    Lawfare, or the use of legal systems and institutions to achieve political goals, has been an effective weapon of choice for Democrats, and they have the DOJ and government agencies backing them up!

    Victories may be secured not just by the will of the people but through the power and reach of well-funded legal teams.

    In case you missed it… ‘Fighting to the Last Moment’

    We are not coming to the end of our battle; we are at its peak!

    Now is not the time to rest or slow down, now is the time for courage, to speak out and call on every patriot to rise to the occasion.

    We must “fight until the last moment!”

    72 million early votes and 45% of the 2020 total are in.

    This must be a landslide victory! We can’t risk winning by slim margins, because slim margins can be overcome with cheating!

    Only with an overwhelming victory beyond the margin of error will deliver a victory.

    We are battling for the heart and soul of America.

    We are battling for the future of our children and grandchildren.

    We are battling for freedom to pass on to the next generation.

    The Globalists hate America! The United States is the only nation standing in the way of their plans for global tyranny and the end of freedom.

    They want to control our health, money, and movement.

    They want to control your faith, values, and conscience.

    The “enemy within” that works day and night to transform our country into a Democratic Socialist nation is only one election away from victory-this election!

    To those who have been tempted to give up or sit this election out, it’s you and you alone that can stand in the gap and save our country from ruin.

    To those who have been timid about talking to your family, friends, and neighbors, it’s time to be brave and lead them to the polls.

    “Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.”

    I am asking every American to hang on and fight to our last moment and together we will set the stage for the greatest period of reformation our country as ever seen!

    We have our battle plans to save our elections, freedoms, borders and national security, economic and energy security, parental rights, health freedom, law and order, Israel’s security, and so much more!

    None of these battles can be fought and won unless you, first, deliver a victory at the polls to give us solid footing from which to fight.

    Vote like America’s existence depends on it and call upon every patriot you know to do the same.

    “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you … never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), American abolitionist

    Fight, Fight, Fight! - President Donald J. Trump

  • I could see snow on the foothills today, but we didn't get anything. We have another storm coming later this week. God willing we'll see snow from that one.
