Jesus Listens: Daily Devotional Prayers of Peace, Joy, and Hope: By: Sarah Young

June 29th

Triumphant God,

Your Word poses the rhetorical question: "if God is for us, who can be against us?" I trust that You are indeed for me since I am Your follower. I realize this verse does not mean that no one will ever oppose me. It does mean that having You on my side is the most important fact of my existence.

Regardless of what losses I experience, I am on the winning side. You have already won the decisive victory through Your death and resurrection! You are the eternal Victor, and I share in Your triumph because I belong to You forever. No matter how much adversity I encounter on my journey to heaven, nothing can ultimately prevail against me!

Knowing that my future is utterly secure is changing my perspective dramatically. Instead of living in defensive mode--striving to protect myself from suffering--I am learning to follow You confidently, wherever You lead. You are teaching me not only to seek Your Face and follow Your lead but to enjoy this adventure of abandoning myself to You. I rejoice that You are with me continually and You are always ready to help me in times of trouble.

In Your Magnificent Name, Jesus, Amen.

Romans 8:31; Psalms 27:8 NKJV; Psalms 46:1 NLT

But, what if we have been lied to about the Bible?
This is where my research began.
I was brought up in a Christian church, but always had questions.
Gnostic and Occult were 2 words Christians know, because every Christian preacher tells you to stay away from anything having to do with the occult, or with gnosis.
See my previous post about these 2 words.
If you are secure in your religion nothing I post will change your mind, but you might just be surprised what you find.
Ask yourself what you knew at the start of your research, and what you now know. If it is the same, you have found the truth, but if there is one iota of difference we need to continue to learn more, and more.

🙏❤️🤗🕊️Just an FYI, I don't go to church, haven't since I was a teenager. I don't believe in religions. I believe in GOD! I don't need a preacher, priest, minister or anyone else to tell me about GOD. I will go directly to Him and ask Him to teach me and lead me. Not man. GOD!🙏❤️🤗🕊️

I believe what Jesus told us, but unfortunately most of the books with Jesus' sayings have been removed from the Bible by the Council of Nicea back in 325 AD.
So, my research continues.

Personally I do not believe God would deprive His people of His Word. The ‘removed’ volumes might be worthwhile or not depending on His determination. He controls everything, especially every person. He would not allow evil to remove His true Word. I am not anxious to see what has not been included. The words of Jesus in the gospels are sufficient for salvation. They are so important that most sermons leave Him out, never quoting Him, but instead Paul and others. His Word is most important because He is the Word.

I have other opinions, more the Gnostics view you might say.
Jesus told us to beware of the scribes for a reason. I had my eyes open, and my ears listening.
If you have never translated Genesis One and two into the original language and tell me which God you all speak of, I choose to stick with what I know.
Thank you, I am sure you mean well, but so do I.
