True peace in my life comes from righteous contentment, not the tempting but hollow treasures of wickedness.
Proverbs 10:2 KJV Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
Blessings are clearly conditioned on justification through Jesus Christ, not physical descent.
Proverbs 10:6 KJV Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:7 KJV The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
If your mouth is a well of life, it will speak the life of Christ.
Proverbs 10:11 KJV The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

Most people look for a scapegoat to hate, but the true goat is in the mirror. We all deserve to be hated by God, yet His love forgave all our sins through the scapegoat, Jesus Christ, and it's through Him that we can love and forgive others.
Proverbs 10:12 KJV Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
1 Peter 2:24 KJV Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
The prosperity gospel defines 'rich' according to the numbers contained in bank accounts. I have found this richness in contentment with the provisions God has blessed me with and in my wife, children, and grandchildren who love me. I guarantee that my discovery is a far better one than what the prosperity gospel offers. And even if I lacked these things, I am convinced that my contentment in Christ alone would sustain me.
Proverbs 10:22 KJV The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
1 Timothy 6:10 KJV For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
If Paul had to confront the early New Testament church for allowing the subtlety of preaching another Jesus, spirit, or gospel to creep in, imagine how much corruption has multiplied since then. How many versions of Jesus or gospels exist today? I don't want to know and am content to keep preaching and standing firm in the simplicity of Christ, grounded in the Word of God.
2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:4 KJV For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
I trust no one who calls themselves an apostle today.
2 Corinthians 11:13 KJV For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
So they claim to be ministers of righteousness, champions of the right and the light that will shine upon a new golden age. And your point is?
2 Corinthians 11:14 KJV And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:15 KJV Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Paul confronted false preachers who boasted of their greatness in order to gain footholds in the church, declaring that if anyone had the right to boast, it was he. He presented a detailed case, listing his credentials and sufferings to support this claim. Yet, he emphasized that his survival through these trials was not due to his own strength but to God’s mercy, sustenance, and grace. Therefore, he gave all glory and praise to God.
2 Corinthians 11:30 KJV If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
2 Corinthians 11:31 KJV The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
The LORD is not a paper savior, nor is He a keyboard warrior.

Jesus Christ, the promised Seed of Jacob and Judah, will reclaim the land with His Body, the Church. The antichrist squatters might as well start packing their bags.
Isaiah 65:9 KJV And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
There are those who seek after the Lord Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 65:10 KJV And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
And, there are those who do not.
Isaiah 65:11 KJV But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
Isaiah 65:12 KJV Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Christians-Antichrist Zionists ought to learn who the blessed servants of the Lord GOD are. Those who are blessed know the God of truth—Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 65:19 KJV And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
Father, all I can say is thank You to You, Your Son, and the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
