Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for this day. For each blessing. For each of mine. For meeting me here each morning. To help start my walk with Your Word, understanding and wisdom. To get in Your presence, and with Your help stay there. Letting nothing or no one distract me from being present with You. So everyone will see my trust in You alone. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Stop the LGBTQ bullying & persecution of Non-LGBTQ’s – Mario Lopez Reportedly on Verge of Being Fired After Comments About Transgender Children

August 7, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about defending the faith…

Mario Lopez Reportedly on Verge of Being Fired After Comments About Transgender Children

A popular entertainment host could be out of the job because he admitted he sees problems with allowing 3-year-old children to determine their sexual and gender identities. Mario Lopez’s future with NBC’s “Access Hollywood” is reportedly “in doubt” several weeks after the 45-year-old TV personality said it’s “dangerous” for parents to allow their very young kids to embrace transgenderism. He first made the comments during an interview with conservative firebrand Candace Owens, who referenced actor Charlize Theron’s decision to raise her now-7-year-old son Jackson as a female. Lopez, the incoming host of “Access Hollywood,” told Owens it’s “sort of alarming” to think some parents would let children as young as 3 years old dictate their sexuality. “I just think about the repercussions later on,” he said. Predictably, the former “Saved by the Bell” star faced an onslaught of criticism and issued a statement apologizing for his ‘ignorant and insensitive” comments.’ I have been and always will be an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community, and I am going to use this opportunity to better educate myself,” Lopez said. “Moving forward, I will be more informed and thoughtful.” read more

THINK.
It Takes A Village…to cause Lopez to retract his earlier statements. To a certain degree, Mario experienced what 50 percent of dads encounter: dad shaming. Sixty percent of moms say they’ve been criticized for their parenting skills. In his book When Harry Became Sally, Ryan Anderson outlines the four-step protocol transgender proponents utilize when a child identifies as the opposite sex. First, a social transition involving the changing of the name and wardrobe. Second, activists administer puberty blockers to prevent maturation and development. Third, around the age of 16, the teen is given cross-sex hormones, which mimics the process of puberty. Finally, transgender individuals at age 18 undergo sex-reassignment surgery. In scripture, we read how parents shoot their children like arrows toward the glory of God, the good of the world, and the joy of the child’s soul (Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4, Psalm 127:3). Research out of Johns Hopkins University indicates that living as a transgender person is extremely dangerous and difficult. Parents aim their children and their village supports the children. But when your village shames instead of supports a biblical worldview, parents may need to reconsider village input.

PRAY.
Pray for the children in our nation. Pray for God to protect their hearts and their minds from lies about gender and sex that are contrary to God’s Word and His perfect design. Pray specifically for the children in your church to embrace God’s truth and hide it in their hearts (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Psalm 119:11).

ACT.
How should we, as Christians, respond to the growing trend of supporting gender transitions at younger and younger ages? Take a few minutes to read the three truths The Denison Forum reminds Christians to remember as we respond to this cultural issue.

Pray without ceasing…

August 7, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about pestering with out ceasing…

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for this day You have created. Blessed are those who step out into it with You in their hearts and mind. Oh that You would continue to bless me and mine, expanding our territory for Your name and glory, protecting us and keeping us from evil and causing any pain. This is my simple prayer, like prayed by Jabez. This world needs You now Lord. Fear and hate is driving us against each other. To many have been distracted by the evil ones lies. Lost in their greed, with out a moral compass, they seek only for them selves no matter the cost, even to their own. The take what is not theirs and cover what they don’t have or understand, You. So their only coarse of action is to silence and persecute that have found what they seek. Open their hearts, ears and eyes Lord. Let Your love shine through us and overcome their hate. Be with those being persecuted, martyred. Be with their families keeping them strong in their faith. Comfort them giving them what they need for each day. Give us all the faith to live unconditionally. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

A verse…

"And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy."

Whenever you are tempted to grumble, come to Me and talk it out.

Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, som e a hundred times what was sown.

August 6, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about being good growing soil…

A thought…

Forget Trying to Be Fully Understood!
It’s a waste of time expecting the impossible from finite people. If you’ll let the Father’s knowing you be enough, then you can be blessedly free from the pain of criticism, rejections, and misunderstandings other people have of you at times.

The LORD is your protector; the LORD is the shade at your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night.

August 5, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about choosing Jesus…

A verse…

The LORD is your protector; the LORD is the shade at your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night.
Psalm 121:5-6 NET

Jesus Calling…

When you rush, you forget who you are and Whose you are. Remember that you are royalty in My kingdom.
page 228

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
1 Peter 2:9

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

Our ability to know (our intellect) and our ability to love/choose (our will) are the two faculties that make us distinctively human. We’ve already seen that we know God by knowing the truth—whether indirectly through the study of God’s creation, or directly through theology or revelation. In the very same way, we love God by choosing what is good and not what is evil—and in that choice, we choose God Himself.
Leo Severino
from Going Deeper

Psalms… 121

[1] I look up toward the hills. From where does my help come? [2] My help comes from the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth! [3] May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector not sleep! [4] Look! Israel’s protector does not sleep or slumber! [5] The LORD is your protector; the LORD is the shade at your right hand. [6] The sun will not harm you by day, or the moon by night. [7] The LORD will protect you from all harm; he will protect your life. [8] The LORD will protect you in all you do, now and forevermore.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers,… of this darkness,… spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.

August 3, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about knowing Jesus as over come…

A thought…

“If you believe in God, and not realize the devil is real.”

Words of Wisdom…

Since ancient times, the saints have testified to the power of Jesus’ name. Even just speaking the name can send devils fleeing. Because they are terrified of the One who vanquished them at Calvary, St. Bernadine declared, the name of Jesus is the dread of hell.
Paul Thigpen, Ph.D.
from Manual for Spiritual Warfare
Daily Catholic Wisdom

A verse…

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
Ephesians 6:12 NET

“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble …”

August 2, 2019

One Walk with Jesus is about looking back and rather than seeing myself as a failure who made oh-so-many mistakes, I see myself as a human who can’t help but make mistakes. And instead of seeing a disappointed God who wishes He’d never created me, I know my heavenly Father looks at me and sees a child He loves, adores and sent His Son to die for.

A thought…

It is very currently suggested that the modern man is the heir of all the ages, that he has got the good out of these successive human experiments. I know not what to say in answer to this, except to ask the reader to look at the modern man, as I have just looked at the modern man—in the looking-glass.

Psalm 107:2 (ESV)

A prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, thank You for this day. A day full of challenges, but fuller of You. Thank You for walking with me. For all Your blessings. For each of mine. Today’s devotion which reminds of Your love, and who we are in that love. Help us to let that love, live and overflow from within us for all those who we will walk with today. And let us boldly proclaim You as the reason for our love. In Jesus name I pray. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
