Is This A Distraction ?
Peter was distracted from his miracle by worry, doubt and fear (Matthew 14:30). But Nehemiah resisted distraction by maintaining his focus on his God-given purpose (Nehemiah 6:3).

Today’s verse is saying when you speak or act, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
True children of the Father are just as kind, forgiving, generous, good, just as He is.
The Gates of Brass are Broken
The prison of addiction has been destroyed.
The bondage of poverty was taken away
The cage of fear was removed.
Walk right on
You’re a free man.
Seize your victory through your thanksgiving
Halleluyah!
It doesn’t really matter the circumstance of your birth- whether you were born in or out of wedlock, or you were the product of a rape or any such mistakes, whether you were born with a silver or wooden spoon, ….friend, you were made for a purpose, you are an answer to a need in your world.
It is a good thing to express pity, but really sometimes tough love may be what is needed to save someone.
to ‘Put on The Whole Armor of God’ is to be totally, completely, fully dressed (and protected) with God’s spiritual covering.
How do we do this?
You have to be careful how you respond to people’s interpretation of events happening around you. When God sends the things/people you need, it may not always look right or appropriate to onlookers, however it is your understanding of what is happening that matters. Because your understanding will determine your response.
The main problem with being like Hymenaeus and Philetus who were identified as ‘babblers’ and ‘chatters’ is not just that it limits an individual’s usefulness for God’s purpose, but this thing has the potency to spread fast (like cancer) through a section of the body.
Jesus said when a woman loses one of ten pieces of silver coins, she doesn’t go ranting or become uncontrollably distraught. No, she calms down, puts herself together, lights a candle, picks up a broom, looks, searches, looks again, searches in every possible nook and cranny, until she finds it. And when she finds it, she rejoices greatly, calling on her friends and neighbours to come celebrate with her (Luke 15:8-9)
