WHOLE NEW MEANING…

Until this morning, I always thought I understood the meaning of "we are not good for each other."  But today, in introspection, I found myself reevaluating this notion. It's a common understanding that people in relationships or contemplating relationships may decide they are not suitable for each other, etc….
Way to start a new year… as I was getting ready for work, I decided to reply to my once-a-friend, and now not so much so. I pondered on the reply and tried to convince myself to say something, but then a voice asked me, what would you say? And whatever you are prepping yourself to say, is that really what you want, or are you just planning to say so just for saying? Are you sure you want to go down that road again? Well…
Let me tell you, there is no equal to GOD'S Parenting. The voice continued, "Why do you want to say something you do not mean?"  You're thinking I will be a good friend by acting as such, but is that really being nice?
Stubborn, I tried to find ways to reply and mean whatever response I gave and the friendship. My FATHER Faithful, as always, let me wonder and watched me play with my thoughts on how I would go about it. His presence reassured me, even as a small video trailer played in my head, recapping our friendship over the years, highlighting what was the catalyst for why I wouldn't pick up the phone and respond. 
I was asked, what's changed since then? How can someone who thinks nothing is wrong with them ever change? What was the dynamic of this friendship? Per this text, has anything changed since then? How would opening this door affect you now, and to what extent? When I thought I had enough to chew on, here comes the ultimatum… Are You Good For Each Other?
I gave in. There was no point fighting back. Okay, then, what should I say? A gentle voice whispered, "Do you have to say anything? Do not start something you can't finish, nor stir hope where you know none can be found." So silence says more than anything I could cook up. That made me wonder… how much of our so-called "I am just trying to be nice" is actually an abomination to our God.
This led me to analyze a few friendships I have seen or heard of. Here are a few, but feel free to share your experiences.
Type One: One-sided friendship. The other won't bother to be a good friend. It's like the Vampire friendship, where one side serves as food to the other, and that's it.
Type Two: This is where one of the pairs does not do good deeds and always drags the sidekick into the pit with them. It is what I call the tilting scale friendship.
Type Three: Bring the worst of each other. This is when people are not suitable for each other because when the two come together, they tend to lose control and together do all sorts of follies that leave them both bankrupt. This is what I qualify as the eruption effect of friendship.
Type Four: A Friendship So Real, But The Two Are Not Equally Yoked (Spiritually)
Type Five: The rare gem, a friendship that embodies the teachings of the Bible and uplifts both parties. A true gift from God, this friendship is a beacon of light in the often murky waters of human relationships. Article By Abigail Jeshurun

What’s Really Idolatry?

I was spending time with FATHER, and as I went through HIS word, I was enlightened on idolatry. Before this day, I always thought that idolatry was an act of praising, worshiping, and adoring someone or something more than GOD JEHOVAH JEREH/other than GOD YAHWEH. Giving allegiance and depending on anything else other than GOD, but I never really looked deeper and understood why GOD detests and hates idolatry. The sin of idolatry is more profound than what we think of on top of our heads. Besides being satan's well-known sin, because satan said, I will be like GOD. But those who also make and turn to idols do not realize; they say the same thing satan said to GOD. They want to be GOD by making what they choose to surrender to: themselves. Do not want GOD; they want themselves. Idolatry is self-worship and, at his core, the need to be god.  This begs the question, Will this sin be blamed on satan, or is it a deliberate one as he once did some are doing today? The Bible says he is the accuser. Perhaps he accuses us because he is not the one behind all of our choices and rebelliousness...  I hope this article is a Blessing. __ by Abigail Jeshurun.
12 The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals; he shapes an idol with hammers, he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and grows faint. 13 The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a marker; he roughs it out with chisels and marks it with compasses. He shapes it in human form, human form in all its glory, that it may dwell in a shrine. 14 He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow. 15 It is used as fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. 16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.” 17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says,     “Save me! You are my god!” 18 They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand. 19  No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, “Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?” 20 Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him;     he cannot save himself, or say, “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?” Isaiah 44:12-20
6 Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it. 7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer; it cannot save them from their troubles. Isaiah 46:6-7
22 “Turn to me and be saved,     all you ends of the earth;     for I am God, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:22
6 Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways  and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:6-9

PRAISE REPORT

Lord, thank you for your HOLY SPIRIT at work in San Francisco!God is faithful in helping us find those who are hungry for Christ. Two people gave their lives to Christ Sunday while bringing sandwiches through the Open Arms Ministry. Vincent walked up and said, "I want to receive Christ." He gave his life to Christ that day! Also, Albert gave his life to Christ! 
We noticed a young man looking for food in a trash can and were able to share Jesus with him and shower him with sandwiches and water. Others asked for prayer for GOD to give them strength and protection on the street. Some have received Christ but are working to beat their addictions. We prayed for them as well.
We are so blessed to serve a God whose Love never fails to save all who call in His Name!
We Look forward to Seeing You at our Next Outreach

THE INVISIBLES - PARt two

As I concluded my day and prepared for rest, I humbly knelt to offer my night prayer. In a moment of divine mercy and goodness, a voice distinctly guided me to the location of my lost earring. 'It is in your car,' the voice whispered gently, and I saw a vivid image of it resting on the driver's seat. Overwhelmed with gratitude and a profound sense of peace, I retired to bed with a radiant smile, knowing that I was not alone in my journey. 
The Relentless Tempter
Ah, another beautiful day! As I prepared for the day, the tireless voice of unbelief, a common adversary in my faith journey, greeted me, urging me to look for my earrings inside my home. But then, I was reminded of the voice and the image. I decided to disregard the thought and restore the peace of GOD into my heart by accepting HIS peace that my beloved earring was found and I needed not to worry about it any longer. This was not just a moment of triumph over doubt, but a powerful testament to the unwavering strength of my faith.
Persistence In Faith
As I headed toward my car, a thought raced through my head: What if you do not find it where you were told? I had to kick it out, almost speaking aloud. It is in my car. That said, that was not the end of the battle. Upon opening the door, I sat and did not notice it. The tension was palpable as I searched, my heart pounding with anticipation.With unwavering faith, the thought returned to affirm its truth. I chose to embrace a child-like faith and respond: 'It is in my driver's seat, even if it eludes my sight for now.' I resolved in my heart that I would find it, for there was no other place it could be but in my car. Even if I did not see it that day, I knew I would one day, and it would be in my vehicle. 
HIS Timing

I proceeded with my day and had to go to the mall after work. As I was in the car, ready to head out, before getting out of the car, I felt led to look down on the right side of the driver seat, and there I noticed a bright goldfish shining tiny object. I was like, wow! No way! As I turned to look closer, there it was, my beautiful tiny earring back, and as I looked closer, its square stud was sparkling like a bright light close to it. Both were there. I didn't even have to look hard or far at all. They were there in plain sight as I grabbed them gratefully. The joy and gratitude that filled my heart in that moment was overwhelming, a testament to the power of God's guidance and mercy. 
The Thief Against God's Glory
I was in celebration, adoration to my FATHER. In the form of doubt and disbelief, the thief tries to still HIS glory by suggesting that, well, even if you found it, it was not where you saw it in your image. I replied well, my cry that day and my question to my FATHER was where I lost it, not where I will find it. HE Exactly answered my question. I lost my hearing on my seat, and it reached the ground closer to the driver's seat on the right side. This was a lesson in the power of faith and the importance of trusting in God's guidance.
The Fair Trial
Give GOD a fair trial; do not run from satan's attack; prove him wrong like JESUS did, and cast him out. Let's not be quick to agree with the voice that wants to sow the seeds of doubt and unbelief in our hearts against GOD. You may ask, Abigail, how will I know the voice of GOD among the many voices in my head? My response: Any voice or saying that doesn't lift Up The Name of GOD, or that doesn't promote GOD'S Glory, wants to lead us to unbelief, panic attack, anguish, and bitterness is not from GOD, and it is not HIS voice.  __ Abigail Jeshurun
3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." 4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' [b]" 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the temple's highest point. 6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands,    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' [c]"7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' [d]" 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' [e]" 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. Matthew 4:3-11

The Invisibles - Part One

By the Grace of GOD, I have finally been able to work on my calendar, and I must say… I genuinely do love it. So today, on my calendar, I was going to the gym; after the gym, I went to get some groceries and wash my car. I got home late and started getting ready for bed after my to-do list. My hair caught on one of my earrings, and I removed them all for the night. Pulling them, I realized that one of the tiny earrings was missing. I shook my hair and things near my standing but could not find it. Tired from the day, I decided to let it be and pray for GOD’S help and will.

Despair tried to take over by analyzing the situation and my chances of finding it. I did not know when, where, or since what day it had been missing since I had not paid much attention to my earring in a while. My earring has become an extension of me, and sometimes it is easy to forget it because, unlike the part of my body that requires daily attention, this earring needs none. Occasionally, notice them when someone states how pretty they are. So, although they are beautiful, they have become invisible; amid this frightening thought, I felt peace in my heart and was reassured that I would find it.   That night, I started pondering how I lost it; it became evident that it was inevitable. To remember to wear them, I wear them 24/7 without ever removing them; I did not realize that, by wearing them constantly, I could eventually forget they were there. After the excitement of the purchase... so they became invisible. If I had paid attention to them occasionally, I would have noticed that one of the small ones was getting loose and needed my attention, I thought with a smile.   

Suddenly, it hit me that, sometimes, this is how we are with GOD and precious people in our lives. Because we know they are there, that they are ours, and that they are not going anywhere, we tend to not notice them, which later turns into an unintentional dismissal of them or worse, they become invisible to us. I pray in my life and your life as you read this that you will not wait until it is too late to notice, treat them, and give them the proper attention they deserve. Most importantly, we will pay appropriate attention to our relationship with GOD. May we value HIM and His people every day. ---  ABIGAIL JESHURUN

HAPpENING! "Open Arms outreach"

Every Last Sunday Of Every Month / From 12:45 PM to 2:00 PM

Love - Go - Serve - Share & Reach!

Serving Our Community Is Our Solemn Mission  

We Build, Equip and Empower Leaders of Tomorrow.

It Starts Spiritually

Whether we acknowledge or agree with it, we are spiritual beings created to be hosts, preferably by GOD. 

There are many spirits out there that want a piece of our soul. What type of spirit should we be allowing to host us? The spirit of fear, anger, rejection, sadness, etc., or the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind? 

The Bible says: "7 For GOD (The Creator) has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind" 2 Timothy 1:7 So, where do those spirits come from? And how do we break free from all other spirits that break into our lives to kill, still, and destroy? 

This is what we teach.

IF LED BY GOD... DONATE HERE

Then Mentally

The brain is a powerful thing. It can build us or destroy us from within and with no trace. Therefore, inviting GOD and allowing HIM to renew our minds is essential to being born again in CHRIST.

 'As a Man Thinks, So He Is' Proverbs 23:7. 

We are a product of our thoughts! 

Our thoughts align with our actions, which could be limiting ourselves in who we are, what we can do, can't do, and can never be or have. One of the precepts we follow as new believers is to allow GOD to renew our minds so we can grasp and trust HIM in this new life of true freedom and everlasting joy HE Offers. 

As it is written, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern God's will, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2

Comments By Abigail Jeshurun

And It Manifests Physically

Through The Word of GOD, HIS SPIRIT, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Intelligence, and Insight... We help Individuals/families overcome the baggage from their past and break free from generational destructive habits, demonic strongholds, and oppression... one city at a time. 

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 

There is no way that someone spiritually, mentally/emotionally, and physically held by GOD will not succeed! No way! 
We will be HIS vessels and live our whole purpose here on earth. Leave a legacy in which HIS NAME will be Glorified for generations!

 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33

Our Focus

Who Is THE SERVANTS MINISTRIES For? 

DISCIPLESHIP | MENTORING | COACHING

Love Spending Time In HIS Word?

If you love or want to start spending time in GOD'SGOD'S Word, getting to know HIM, build your faith and intimacy with GOD. Then you came to the right place, and this is your home! We love diving into The Word of Our GOD, falling in love with HIM daily, and strengthening our walk by building ourselves and others. As it is written: Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Clean your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8 

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. Psalm 145:18 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22 Let us then, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and fortress, my God, whom I trust." He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings, you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ... Psalm 91:1-16 Consequently, he can save the uttermost those who draw near to God through him since he always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25 

Spiritually Hungry & Thirsty?

This Ministry is for the eternally hungry and thirsty for GOD. Those who crave more of or from GOD, HIS Love, and more daily. If that's you, you came to the right place. As it is written: "Seek the LORD and HIS strength; seek HIS presence continually!" (Psalm 105:4). 

Search for the LORD and his strength; always strive for him. 1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Isaiah 55:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Matthew 5:6 Now, on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. John 7:37

For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish. Jeremiah 31:25Come, all you thirsty, come to the waters, and you who have no money, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and cost. Isaiah 55:1

 He humbled you by letting you go hungry and feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; instead, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:3

 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your salvation say continually, "The LORD be magnified!" Psalm 40:16

Aiming For Spiritual Growth?

Growing is an essential part of our Christian life and necessary for our survival. We are not meant to remain newborns for the rest of our Christian lives. We must seek to grow and act as grown-ups once we reach maturity. 

As the Bible instructs us, here we strive to be so. Like newborn infants who long for pure spiritual milk, you may grow into salvation through it. 1 Peter 2:2 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 1 Corinthians 13:11 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking, be mature. 1 Corinthians 14:20 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness. 1 Timothy 4:7 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 To walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. Ephesians 4:15: Rather than speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.

Seeking Accountability?

You are not alone. 

We all need it and are grateful for one another. As the Bible says, Iron sharpens Iron, and one man sharpens another. 

Proverbs 27:17 Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you do. 

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray that you may be healed.

 The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16

Love To Serve Our Community?

Our LORD set the example when JESUS washed the disciples' feet, and we are to regard one another with the same lowliness of heart and attitude. Reaching out to our neighbors and communities is part of our lives. He said, "I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you" (John 13:15). As His followers, we are to emulate Him by serving one another in lowliness of heart and mind, seeking to build one another up in humility and love. See Philippians 2:6-8 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all." Mark 9:35

Keep Your Fire Burning?

Nothing can compel us more than this passage in the Book of Revelation. Stay fired-up! “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. ... Revelation 3:15-19

Sunday, April 30, 2023Extra.Extra.ExtraPraise God For His FaithfulnessWe had such a blessed time serving our friends in downtown San Francisco! We are so grateful for how God has been providing for this Ministry! Today, we had two salvations - Hallelujah! Alexander and Lulu gave their lives to Christ!God blessed us with volunteers: Winson, Brian, Wendy, Leanna, and myself (Abigail). We were privileged once more to witness the Mighty Hand Of Our God at work.

Omell asked for prayer to be freed from addiction and to get a job and housing. We introduced ourselves to a gentleman sitting on the ground; he was respectful but did not want to give us his name. We offered food, and he said no; we offered prayer, and he said no, but as we were about to leave, he said, could you give me a Bible, please? Wow! With joy, we gave him a Bible! As we continued serving, we ran out of food, so we went to get more from the car, and on our way there, Lamar reached out and asked for prayer. He desperately wants to get off the streets and back to serving God! As we walked, we continued to ask people if they needed prayer, and this gentleman named Tyler said, I want to pray for you! So he prayed for us and all the people who came out to serve them, and it was simply beautiful. It is one of the most powerful prayers I have heard! Lauren and many others received prayer as well. We all were so blessed to serve the Lord by serving others!!
