Dr Mark S Gillum – (a house divided against itself cannot stand) August 19, 2020
This nation has forgotten who owns it. Jehovah God almighty in heaven who sits high and looks low. Heaven is his throne and this earth is his foot stool. You need to get it right that this speech that Abraham Lincoln made. Belongs to God and God alone! This is why this USA is in trouble now! God will not be replaced by anyone or anything! This is the original word holy spirit inspired of almighty God!
The word of God is not an idiom! Get it right America!
Matthew 12:22-28
New King James Version
A House Divided Cannot Stand
22 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the [a]blind and mute man both spoke and saw. 23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”
24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by [b]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.”
Chanice – (bury the hatchet) August 19, 2020
I made it too easy to “bury the hatchet” as I was told to do only after I had already done so. My health is priority now when forgiveness comes easy it’s taken advantage of and taken for granted.
