DO NOT WORRY

And [Jesus] said to His disciples, Therefore I tell you,

Do not be anxious and troubled [with cares] about your life,

As to what you will [have to] eat or about your body,

As to what you will [have to] wear;

For life is more than food, and the body [more] than clothes.

Observe and consider the ravens,

For they have neither storehouse nor barns, and [yet] God feeds them.

Of how much more worth are you than the birds!

And which of you by being over anxious and troubled with cares

Can add a cubit to his stature, or a moment [unit] of time to his age--

The length of his life?

If then you are not able to do such a little thing as that,

Why are you anxious and troubled with cares about the rest?

Consider the lilies, how they grow;

They neither [wearily] toil no spin nor weave;

Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory—his splendor and magnificence--

Was not arrayed like one of these. [I Kings 10:4-7.]

But if God so clothes the grass in the field,

Which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,

How much more will He clothe you, O you [people] of little Faith?

And you, do not seek [by meditating and reasoning to inquire into]

What you are to eat and what you are to drink,

Nor be of anxious (troubled) mind—

Unsettled, excited, worried and in suspense;

For all the Pagan World is [greedily] seeking after these things,

And your Father knows that you need them.

Only Aim at and Strive for and Seek after His Kingdom,

And all these things shall be supplied to you also.

Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, Little Flock,

For it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the KINGDOM!

Sell what you possess and give donations to the poor;

Provide yourselves with purses and handbags that do not grow old,

An unfailing and Inexhaustible Treasure in the Heavens,

Where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.

And be yourselves like men

WHO ARE WAITING FOR THEIR MASTER TO RETURN HOME

From the Marriage Feast,

So that when He shall return from the Wedding and comes and knocks,

THEY MAY OPEN TO HIM IMMEDIATELY.

BLESSED—happy, fortunate and to be envied--

Are those Servants whom the Master finds

AWAKE AND ALERT AND WATCHING WHEN HE COMES.

Truly, I say to you, He will gird Himself and have them recline at table

And will come and serve them!

If He come in the Second Watch (before midnight),

Or the Third Watch (after midnight), and finds them so,

BLESSED—happy, fortunate and to be envied—are those Servants!

BUT OF HIS BE ASSURED

That if the Householder had know at what time the burglar was coming,

He would have been Awake and Alert and Watching,

And would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken open.

YOU ALSO MUST BE READY,

For the Son of Man is coming at an Hour and a Moment

When you do not anticipate it.

Peter said, Lord are You telling this parable for us, or for all alike?

And the Lord said, Who them is that Faithful Steward,

the wise man whom his Master will set over those in his household service,

To supply them their allowance of food at the appointed time?

BLESSED—Happy, and to be envied—

Is that Servant whom his Master finds so doing when He arrives.

Truly, I tell you, He will set him in charge over all His possessions.

But if that Servant says in his heart,

My Master is late in coming, and begins to strike the menservants

And the maids, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

The Master of that Servant will come on a Day when he does not expect Him

And at an Hour of which he does not know,

And will PUNISH him and CUT HIM OFF

And assign his lot with THE UNFAITHFUL.

And that Servant who knew his Master's WILL,

But did not get ready or act as He would wish him to act,

Shall be beaten with many [lashes].

But he who did not know and did things worthy of a beating

Shall be beaten with few [lashes].

For to everyone to whom much is given, Of him shall much be required;

And of him to whom men entrust much

They will require and demand the more. [Deut. 25:2,3; Num. 15:29, 30.]

I have come to Cast Fire upon the Earth,

And how I wish that it were already kindled!

I have a Baptism with which to be baptized,

And how greatly and sorely I AM urged—impelled, constrained--

Until it is Accomplished!

Do you suppose that I have come to give Peace upon the Earth?

NO, I SAY TO YOU, BUT DIVISION;

For from now on in one House there will be five divided [among themselves],

Three against two and two against three.

They will be divided, father against son and son against father,

Mother against daughter and daughter against mother,

Mother-in-law against daughter-in-law

And daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. [Mic. 7:6.]

He also said to the crowds of people,

When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say,

It is going to rain! And it occurs.

YOU PLAY ACTORS—HYPOCRITES!

You know how [intelligently] to discern and interpret

And prove the looks of the Earth and Sky,

But how is it you do not know how to discern and interpret

And apply the proof TO THE PRESENT TIME?

(Luke 12:22-56, AMP)

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
