I realize now that "tribulation" it is for a purpose--- Acts 14:22 "Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."

Update 10/25/2023 I haven't been working out to to much lately, mostly walking my dog at various parks. So all my current weight loss is mostly due to being on the keto diet. I like didn't wear my gold plated necklaces yesterday because I had weared them so many day my skin was getting irritated. So took them off, well wouldn't you know I had terrible asthma attack yesterday while bowling (I bowled 177 one game 😁).

bonus life tip

from sheri 2023

yes following jesus you will have "much tribulation" MUCH THE BIBLE SAYS

Acts 14:22 "Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."l

value yourself - INCLUDING YOUR SOUL

invest in yourself

don't really really really listen to the haters

like that hair dye commercial

YOUR WORTH IT!

YOU HAVE VALUE!

I'll straight up be honest like never before in the year 2023 when hardly nobody is going to my blog...............I do NOT like sheri 2015. I don't even like photo's of her, video's of her - I KEEP THEM UP ON MY BLOG ETC. - that chick secretely also loves the devil, but kept shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to please people around her, she also dressed a certain way to please people around her etc.

I DIDN'T LIKE HER

AND FOR ALL HER EFFORTS TO "BE POPULAR" - THOSE EFFORTS HARDLY GOT HER ANYWHERE CAUSE PEOPLE KNEW SHE WAS NOT BEING 100% SINCERE

don't neglect yourself to please others

fact don't neglect yourself

you have value

your hater ARE WRONG

(this song is titled "Come, Ye faithful, Raise the strain" words by John of Damascus, music by Arthur Seymour Sullivan, verses 1 and 2 "Come ye faithful, raise the strain or triumphant gladness! God hath brought forth Isreal into joy from sadness. Loosed from Pharoh's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters; led them, with unmoistened foot, through the Red Sea waters. Tis the srping of souls today; Christ hath burst His prison, and from three days' sleep in death as a son hath risen. all the winter of our sins, long and dark is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying.")
I realize now that "tribulation" it is for a purpose--- Acts 14:22 "Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."
  Everyone of us following jesus will..............Acts 14:22 ".......................we MUST through MUCH TRIBULATION enter into the kingdom of god" BUT REJOICE............Romans 5:2-4 "By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:"
  I don't much know what to do with the apostolic christian church of america - I love them - how can you love a people in deed and truth that won't much let you serve them???????? I'm writting letters to people in the church cause that's one the few things they'll allow me to do. (I was told by the pastors wife in portlands congregation that most the church isn't online that I'm not even talking to their church when I blog...........all I gots that I can do is write letters and mostly pray for their salvation that they be finally free'd from the commandments of men they have been heeding) It's a "experience" though for me : ) I'm ending up having much "experience" dealing with difficult situations. WHICH IS A GOOD THING!
   If following jesus was easy easy easy, what experience would I gain then????????????? So I glory in tribulation!
  This isn't me switching topics cause, a "form" of tribulation can be being called a "false apostle" or a "false prophet", I got thinking about this much last night. On you tube there are many people calling various preachers (even you tube preachers) "false apostles" "false prophets".
  How do I make sure I'm not false, that's what I really got to thinkin on, after going to this site and reading the comments made by Preston Greene I'm going to paraphrase what he said...............

  Actions are not people's "fruit" that isn't what actions mean 2 Cor 11:13-15 "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works"
   These "false apostles" ("false apostles" here can just as easily apply to prophets, etc. etc. the devil doesn't just raise up false apostles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) They "ALSO be transformed as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works" They probably have "works" ------------ works that look good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT NOT THE FRUIT THE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LOVE FOR PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with Preston Greene very much so, fruit is not our works! But our love for people! The works will spring forth up because we love people, love jesus --------- the works we do are not our fruit!!!!!!
  Matthew 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
 Let's love one another!!!!!!! PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (which is a form of fruit I believe, if you are praying for people ------- I count that as a act of love Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;")
