In this segment, I talk about how Salvation is free for everyone. It says that God died on the cross for everyone, not just a few elite people. Brenda Jo Reutebuch brings an encouraging message about salvation.https://youtu.be/R3yx_M4AMRI

In this video I talk about an incident I witnessed at a coffee shop online.  It was clearly the wrong approach, especially since the young lady already believes that churches are a cult.

I have 3 big announcements that I would like to make. First of all, I am going to be in a competition called You God's music.  The other two are that I have collaborated with a friend of mine on 2 other channels. We post drawing videos and poetry to them.  "No Hopeless Soul" Cover music video: https://youtu.be/5CkmYJHRfWo Original artist, Stephen Stanley.  Your Avenue channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCijgyEo2SSnOOTpExZyiJrQ Coffee Talk Show channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6c06pdVvPRyk4lLyb2qfA #stephenstanley #YouGodsMusic

Hello everyone. I would like to say thank you for watching my channel, I really appreciate it. I really appreciate the comments.  Psalms 118:6 The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. When was the last time you had to ask the Lord to be with you so you felt brave?   The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.  What can mere people do for me? You see, we can’t rely on people like we can the Lord. What can mere people do for me?   Verse 7, the Lord is for me, he will help me. I will look for triumph at those who hate me. You know they really don’t hate you. They hate the spirit of God living in you. They might not realize it, but the Lord is hated more than we are.  Don’t these verses make you feel so hopeful?   We can be confident because we have a big powerful God looking out for us. He is on our side. You ever see parents at a game? They cheer their kids on. The kids can’t hear them, but they know they are there cheering them on. They love that they are supported.   Now let’s take a look at Colossians 2:12. I love how this reads.  For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. Isn’t that just amazing imagery? When we get baptized, we are underwater, basically buried under water. We come back up a new person. I was baptized a few weeks ago. It is not my first time, but it will be my last time. I had personal reasons as to why I did it again. Let’s move on. For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to a new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.  So if you are discouraged right now, don’t give up-don’t lose hope. God is on your side. Who better to be on your side than God? When the final day of judgement comes and he calls your name, you will run out of that grave. That is how powerful God is.  Thank you.

October 6th is a day set aside each year to bring out your silly side while celebrating National Mad Hatter Day. The fictional character, The Hatter (also known as The Mad Hatter) from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, is typically acting silly, and that is how the creators of this day decided on their theme of silliness for National Mad Hatter Day. Sir John Tenniel illustrated The Mad Hatter and all of Lewis Carroll’s colorful characters beginning in 1864. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was first published in 1865. via:   https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-mad-hatter-day-october-6/ https://youtu.be/NLAvWkdEles  Ephesians 4:31 “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”  I want us to talk about bitterness for a bit. I have a little demonstration I would like to show you. (Do we do this outside or inside? Do we talk about how since there is a break in the rain, we can do it outside?  I have some rocks that represent grudges. This big one, someone has something you have been wanting for years. This medium one, people seem to walk all over you while others get praised. This little one, someone said something to you that really ticked you off. (Keep filling the bowl with rocks) Now, this water, represents kindness and love. (Pour it over the rocks) Do you see how there isn’t much room for it now because we have all these rocks in here, aka, grudges? Let’s take some out. Oh, look, there is more room now. Keep going. Look, there are no grudges now, look how much love and kindness can be done now. (Now we go back inside) Being bitter doesn’t help anyone. It doesn’t help you and it doesn’t help the person you are bitter towards. It is more taxing on your mental state than anything else, I think. This is not the character of God. It really does take more energy to be jealous and mean than it does to be kind and gentle. Let’s look at Eph 4:2, “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.” And now let’s fast forward to 4:24, “Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy.” When we start moving towards stronger discipline of ourselves, we can start putting on a new self, drenched in the Spirit of the Lord. And finally, let’s end with 5:2 “Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.” As you can see, it is better to live a life filled with love than of jealousy. It can be very difficult for some though. What can you do to help yourself? Thank you.

Isaiah 9:2 The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.   Whose light are they going to see? Will it be yours or will it be someone else’s? Is your light bright enough? I was trimming the weeds in front of my house. They are too hard for me to pull so I just cut them down, so they are even with the stuff that isn’t weeds. Well, anyway, the plug kept falling out, so I had to keep putting it back in periodically while I cut.https://youtu.be/KONCT2IFf1o   You know this reminds me of how we need to stay plugged into God. When we stop going to church and stop reading the Bible and praying, we are not the same as we could be if we did plug in. I couldn’t do a thing with that hedge trimmer unless it was connected to receive the power from the house. It says the people who walk in darkness will see a great light. The great light is God, and we are his beacons. We are set in place so that we can reflect the light of Jesus. God is like a lighthouse, and you know they have those lights that shine every which way, that is what we are, what we can be if we draw enough power from the source. Don’t be a dim light bulb. Shine big! Show love. Reflect Jesus. Thank you.

Season 2, Ep. 4 The faithful love of the Lord never ends. His mercies never cease! His mercies begin afresh every morning. I say to myself, the Lord is my inheritance, therefore I will hope in him! Lamentations 3:22-24  Think of one friend that has been your friend the longest. Now think of the one that's been a little less. Now think of the most recent friend or someone you just met. All of these could be  lifetime friends or they might not.   There is one  that is guaranteed to be your friend forever. God has love that will never end. He always forgives, always trusts. Every morning is a fresh start. When we commit to God we are guaranteed to inherit the kingdom of God. It says the Lord is my inheritance, what could be better than inheriting an entire lifetime with God?  https://youtu.be/h9nQ14sVz84  You know when you eat a meal like let's say breakfast, work really hard and then as it gets close to lunch time you get hungry again. It's refreshing to know that you are able to enjoy a meal again. Or like if you're really cold and you put on a sweater, it's really comforting to feel that warmth. That's how I can be when you're with God. That's how it can be when you commit your life to Jesus. He is that person that is never going to give up on you. His forgiveness is relentless. We will do wrong because that's human nature, but God will forgive it if we ask with the heart of wanting to do better. But God will forgive you each time if you show that you are trying.   The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” Lamentations 3:22‭-‬24 NLT   If you are interested in Emmanuel by April Marie, you can check it out here: Lulu.com http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/hawkmatrix Barnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/emmanuel-april-marie/1120753655?ean=9781430329886 Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Emmanuel-April-Marie/dp/1430329882/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455811023&sr=8-1&keywords=Emmanuel+by+April+Marie

What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart! Isaiah 5:18What is holding you back from living in true freedom? Your past? Your shame? You don’t need to live like that.  God has wiped away any wrong doings of your past if you have truly asked for his forgiveness. God doesn’t want you live in sorrow, he wants you to live in joy.  If he didn’t want that, why He put in place a forgiveness idea at all?  1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If God did not forgive our sins, this scripture wouldn’t exist in the Bible.  I know it’s hard to forgive yourself but if the God of the universe forgives you who are you to not forgive yourself? God is up in heaven with a notepad writing down our sins so that when we ask for forgiveness he can remind himself of when he forgave you before, of course, he is all knowing so he doesn’t need a notepad, but he forgives and your slate is wiped clean. You know who does constantly remember your sins? Yep, you guessed it, satan. He is the ruler of destruction.  All he cares about is how can he destroy what God loves the most? Oh, yeah, let’s remind people of their sins. I can really destroy them now. That is what sin does. It eats away at your very core until there is barely anything left. God can restore you, especially when you are at the end of the rope. Don’t let the ropes control you. Let go of them. You don’t need them.

But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his son, cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1: 7 I've been sitting here trying to figure out how I want to comment on this verse. First of all, yes we should all try our best to live a life dedicated to God. We should all strive every day to learn more and more about Jesus so we know the ins and outs of his character. But how do we then have fellowship with each other? If we all work together, then we can help each other reach the goal we all have- meeting Jesus in person. This is why none of us should have a haughty disposition. None of us are in are any better than anyone else. We are all striving for the same goal so why not work together instead of against each other? It's interesting how the verse says  “and the blood of Jesus, his son, cleanses us from all sin.” This is no doubt referring to Jesus dying on the cross, but do you see the distinction? This verse makes a point of saying the blood of Jesus. You know my blood type is rare. Jesus has a rare blood type too unlike any other. Jesus is the only blood type that can grant eternal life. It HAD to be the blood of Jesus and the verse doesn't just say God son, but distinctly points out about the blood. You see how different God and Jesus are from other gods? Jesus will wipe away anything that prevents you from meeting him in paradise. Stay strong, stay connected, stay focused. The outcome is worth it.

It’s hard to imagine that walking with Jesus is different than walking with the world, but it is. Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12 NLT
