[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 3/6/2025:
How you and I handle
Adversity is never going to be
Easy and it is how
In the handling over in
Such very tough times we
Need to lean on the Lord
Getting through it through prayer,
Leaning on Christ, and knowing
Front and center Christ should be.
In facing them head on despite the
Challenges we face and how we can face them together
Remember you are not alone!

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 3/7-3/9/2025:
Adversity and challenges can
Be in hand in hand but
Doesn't mean at all that
Due to the fact over in a
Sinful world and that we
Fall short of God's glory
How in the facing of trouble
Although not at all our fault by
Any and all means!

 

[JPPT1974]

Unfair has been in life
Nothing is fair but that
God is even if the world and
Life is not fair and how
It is about change and
You and I can change from
Making it a negative to a
Positive and trying to accomplish
So much in such a tough situation.

 

[JPPT1974]

You and I are not alone
Quietly yet effectively to overcome
Adversity and in the fighting the odds
But it is how we handle it
You have to handle it with
Grace as hard as it can be
Why you may ask my friend?
That is what Jesus would do!
He handle the most adversity in the
Very three short years on the earth before that
Cross and beatings coming sooner than He think.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 3/10/2025:
It is hard to try to
Handle in such a tough
Difficult situation with grace
But we don't have to do it
All by ourselves and how
God calls for us to call upon
Him so that we don't have to
Do it all alone and to do so with grace
God's grace that is!!

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 3/11/2025:
Remember we are not alone
When we are faced with challenges
Look at people like Job or Ruth
In the OT or in Paul in the NT that
Despite being beaten, humiliated,
Imprisoned, just to name a few.
They handle it with grace
Hard as it was and praying we could
Do just that in God's eyes.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 3/12/2025:
It is how we deal with
Difficult decisions and
Challenges but we can
Face it with God's help and
Loved ones who knows us
Inside out and how the
Praying to God can and will
Allow us to face adversity and challenges
Head on with grace and dignity.
We are never not alone!

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 3/13/2025:
Peter was strong as an
Ox and that he really
Was the muscle over in the
Disciples and at times he
Was very naive and very much
Not to bright as he would be one
To be in the category of in the "shoot first, ask
Questions later" type of disciple even though
Jesus Himself would do the best to reign him in.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 3/14-3/16/2025:
Peter was not too
Bright and that He
Wanted to be in the
Shoot first and ask in
Questions later without giving
Someone a chance to explain as
He was one of the leaders over in
The disciples and the very first of the
Disciples when He encountered Jesus.

 

[JPPT1974]

He made so many mistakes
Of course it was in the
Denying Jesus not just
Once or twice but three times!!
And that it made him feel
Very guilty and in how that
He got really pretty cocky and
Overconfident when Jesus told him this
Despite pledging loyalty to Him.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 3/17/2025:
Because over in the
Not thinking first and
Over in the trying to use
Like his fists or in the case in
Cutting the ear off a Roman soldier the
Night Jesus was arrested to be crucified
And in Jesus was doing the best to get
Peter to learn from his mistakes in the future.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 3/18/2025:
Peter was young and that
When you are young you
Tend to make some mistakes
Even if you feel the other way
Around but in the very long run
He learned from his mistakes and
Really became one of the very first
Early pastors/preachers in the New
Testament after Jesus ascension.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 3/19/2025:
God knew that in helping
Peter mature and in the
Hoping to learn from his mistakes
Like denying Christ and that
He would be an awesome preacher and
Pastor and that he was one of the
Earliest disciples to go from fishermen to
Fishers of men in the New Testament!

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 3/20/2025:
He did his best to
Redeem himself from his mistakes
Though he meant well at the
Garden of Gethsemane that night
Along with denying Christ three times
Before the crow made noise
Still Peter lived and learned and
Jesus knew that Peter felt guilty and
Wanting him to really be the pastor/preacher from
Disciple that he was meant to be in Jesus eyes.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 3/21-3/23/2025:
While he meant well and
At times was like a
Shoot first then ask in
Questions later type of person in his
Younger years but later on
Lived and learned over from his
Mistakes and in the being one of the
Earliest pastors after Jesus was ascended.

 

[JPPT1974]

Peter by the time of his own
Execution and in the asking to be
Crucified upside down due to
Respect and loyalty to Jesus
And that he was sentenced to
Death after Roman Emperor
Nero blamed Christians over in a
Fire that was in the being raveged
Over in the city of Rome.

 

[JPPT1974]

Peter redeemed himself and
Learned over on in his mistakes
Become the greatest preacher and
Earliest ones in the New Testament
But that he would pave the
Way over for others to follow and
Generations of generations of pastors
Preachers could be in the following through.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 3/24/2025:
Peter was considered the leader
Over when Jesus was on this
Earth in the very three short
Years Jesus was before His
Beating, death on the cross, and
Resurrection and ascension after being on the
Earth after His resurrection and that
Maybe He was teaching Peter to use
Common sense over in his decisions.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 3/25/2025:
You see it is about in
Redemption and in the
Going from being so young
And not using common sense and
Shooting first and then asking on
Questions later type of mind that
Peter had would be exchanged
Big time and development of his character.

 

[JPPT1974]

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 3/26/2025:
Peter's leadership and in the
Maturing into a wiser leader and
Using much more common sense
In his elder years that
Living and learning and how
He would set the tone over
For in the being the earliest pastors
In the New Testament on it.
