Bible Shorts With Biblebob - I Have Limitations January 8, 2026 What Are Your Limitations? “So I wouldn’t get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me, My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 MSG A Legless Woman In A Homeless Shelter In the middle of the night I couldn’t sleep - my thoughts were zeroed in on the lady with no legs in a wheelchair. I’d seen her first in the street in the rain. I tried to talk to her, but she just wheeled herself on by. Later, inside the Shelter I asked if she wanted something to eat. At first she acted like she didn’t understand. I persisted. Bending down to her level, face to face, it appeared that she combined her limited hearing with reading my lips. She wanted to know what the meal was as she was limited in what she could eat. I brought a plate back. As I held the plate, she groaned and bent over trying to spread a red & white crocheted afghan. When I understood what she was trying to do I set the plate down and helped her. She twisted her small body in the wheelchair and allowed gravity to pull her body down on the afghan. That was her resting place - a thin barrier on the cold concrete floor. She freed her hands that had been pulled up into her sleeves for warmth and took the plate. She looked up at me and said, “Why?” I neither understood her question nor did I know what to say. What came out of mouth was, “Because Jesus loves you.” She had a male companion who came and stood beside me. He is in and out of the throes of addiction from the unhealed condition of PTSD. We prayed. The woman with no legs reached for my hand, looked me in the eye and said thank you. What happened in the middle of the night is happening again as I write this. This woman had limitations and so do I. My whole heart, soul, mind are going into moisture mode. Yep, that means I’m in tears. Self Reflection Questions Do you see limitations as opportunities? Did you ever recognize a limitation that God gave you to bring you closer to Him? Have you ever helped someone walk through their limitations? How does giving your limitations to God prepare you for success in the future?. Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we. /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39666115

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Eighteen 01/06/2026

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Eighteen HE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS ~ Day 18 The Angels Return To Heaven Christmas was now over and the angels had finished their assignments. It was time to pack their wings and catch a flight back to heaven. Most of them were glad to go back to the Place of No Pain, No Tears & No Sorrows. A few of the angels though, had other ideas. There was a message from Wisdom that seemed to affect them more than the others. The message was, “He desires that none should perish.” We may never understand why, but some beings go the extra mile. These angels originated from a rare heavenly lineage of Spirit Messengers. The hallmark of their character was going Beyond Expectations. Wisdom gave them a name, they were called The Beyonders. Before going back to heaven, these angels looked beyond the horizon. From the mountain on which they rested, the angels could almost see the gentle curve of the earth. Each one of them scanned the earth for those who might be succumbing to perishing circumstances. On December 18 when their journey began, the angels had taken notice of a group of Beyonders among the people on earth. They were known as Pastors who acted as Shepherds. They were tasked with teaching people about Love, Humility and Wisdom. The Pastor’s had organized an Event With Residual Effects. The event was called Christmas For Kids. Over 1,000 children and their families freely received the blessings of gifts and Encouraging Love. Even a revered figure in human lore called Santa Claus greeted children with a Manger Message of New Beginnings. The Pastor’s had hoped the event would plant Seeds of Good Neighborliness. It did that and more. The angels were experts at orchestrating Divine Appointments. They arranged for a man who had traveled from a faraway Perishing Place to connect with one of the Pastor’s. The man came from a community where the Perish Root had grown. The angels knew that People Who Perish were not Born To Perish. Life becomes hard and some folks become bitter. Hard lives and bitter hearts become soils where the Perish Root sprouts in despair. After sharing some heart knowledge, the angels caused a Heart-Storm to pass over the Pastor’s Heart. He told the man that any leftover gifts would be delivered to the people in the Land of Diminished Opportunity. On the afternoon of December 18 after the first Residual Event was finished, the Pastors loaded the man’s truck with Residual Blessings Leftover from the Residual Event. There was a little girl with Humble Desires who lived in the Perishing Place. The people who lived there were good people with hard lives. Opportunity was increasingly perishing which only serves to Accelerate a Perishing Mindset. The little girl was asked what gift she would like for Christmas. Out of the depths of her pure heart she replied, “I want some firewood for my Grandmother so she can stay warm this winter.” Humble Desires are Wisdom’s Way of using Residual Blessings to Enlarge the Territory of Love on Earth as it is in Heaven. The little girl was given wood and so much more. The Leftover Blessings created a Surplus of Multiplication that Keeps On Giving Beyond Expectations. Go and do likewise. “In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “He will not forget the needs of the poor. One day the needy will be remembered, and their hopes will not be forever dashed in disappointment.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9:18‬ ‭TPT‬‬ “A shepherd should pay close attention to the faces of his flock and hold close to his heart the condition of those he cares for.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27:23‬ ‭TPT‬‬ /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39621560

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Seventeen 12/25/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Seventeen THE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS ~ Day 17 Doing Life In A Manger Place Twas the day before Christmas and all through the earth, the angels were happy about the pending New Birth! Their week in the world below heaven was almost over. Gladness was mixed with sadness as they knew joy was always one step away from sorrow. In the blink of an eye, life could be turned upside down. Although the Christmas season had been commercially expanded, the reason for the season seem to be getting more lost in the money. That’s where folks on earth were finding their value these days. People ignored the fact that money can’t buy love and it’s useless against loneliness. Still, they persisted in using money as a fake healer. On this 24th day of December, the angels had 24 hours to visit both the Place of Gladness and the Place of Sadness. Despite the opposite nature of their names, these places existed side by side. Old folks who knew Wisdom, were given the ability to look back on the journey of their lives and see how they’d traveled frequently between both places. The angels were energized at being able to lay out a plan for the people called: “Doing Life In A Manger Place.” It would be easy for Wisdom to gather all the people on earth and teach them a lesson all at once. That’s what a teacher does in a classroom, but the Lesson of Wisdom is only learned through Life. The angels had to utilize Life Lessons to reach both the Teachable and Unteachable. Their is a Final Place of Sadness for Unteachable folks. A Manger Place is small and tucked away in a Humble Heart. The Manger is a Birthplace and Beliefplace. The structure contains beams of gladness held by nails of sadness. Within its walls are sounds of travail and the silence of unspeakable joy. All things are birthed together for good in the Beliefplace. The Manger has Food for Thought bought with Poverty Money. The Value of Little becomes Greater in the Manger. All creatures Great and Small, there’s Room in the Manger for folks who answer Wisdom’s Call. The manger is a place for the tired and poor to Receive Refreshment. The manger is a door to a Peace that Surpasses All Understanding. Some who pass this way may never leave and go back the way they came. Heaven lies beyond the Manger Door. Gladness or Sadness, they both shall pass, Tis better to live Life in a Manger Place. The Landlord is your Savior who will never reject you or abandon you. The life you live was chosen for you and influenced by the choices you make. The Landlord of the world knew you before you were born. His journey for you is unique. You are Specially Chosen, Highly Valued and Deemed Worthy to carry Beams of Gladness with Nails of Sadness. The sun only rises after darkness has befallen the world. The Son has risen in the Manger Place to redeem a fallen world. Live your Life in the Manger Place and let the Son rise within you. Joy to the world your Savior’s here! Joy to the world it’s freedom you hear! Start over again. Be born again. So be it, just believe it and say Amen! “And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of love, I would gain nothing of value. Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:3-7‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Coming Next: Back To Heaven Friday, December 24, 2021 /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39532645

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Sixteen 12/25/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Sixteen THE SEVEN POVERTY’S of CHRISTMAS ~ Day 16 A Mindset In A Manger The angels were glad that their prison visitations were over. Funny thing though, it wasn’t as hard as they had made up their minds it would be. The biggest challenge they faced was hearing the taunting voices of the fallen angels. “You too will fall! You won’t make it in heaven! Wisdom is too hard for you to understand!” The taunting put downs stopped when the angels set their minds on things above and things that had fallen. Today is December 23, two days before Christmas when their earthly journey will end. Like Teachers, they would never really know how many lives had benefited from their efforts. The Blessing of Deficit was a heavenly concept that brought an Income of Grace for those who embraced it. Today the angels would enter the territory of the Prison of One’s Own Mind. Many people on earth created jail cells in their own bodies. As creation on earth groaned on, the devil had become a Master of Deception by gaining control of most forms of media. Public Communication was manipulated through blatant lies, misinformation and partial truths. The goal of the enemy was to create fear and isolation. To protect themselves from fear, folks began to quarantine in their own minds. Seclusion became a protection. Segregation became a safety net. Isolation became an acceptable detention. Home confinement became an assurance of immunity. The culture around them became insistent on creating within them a Shelter Mindset. Messages were sent to solidify the Mindset, “You’ll be safe as long as you don’t leave your shelter.” “There’s unsafe people outside your home.” “Listen to the media and you’ll the truth.” People were freely persuaded to imprison themselves in their own mindsets. The angels were awestruck at the simplicity of recognizing the deception that controlled human mindsets. The huddled together to heart-storm and come up with a game plan. They could not intervene, but they could influence. The solution they came up with was to use Billboards to spread positive messages. The Billboards of Mindset Guardians *Discard corrosive thoughts. *Develop positive thoughts. *Deal with damaged memories. *Identify dangerous temptations. *Study Wisdom to avoid deception. *Defend against becoming offended. *Guard against becoming overwhelmed. *Don’t allow your mind to wander into misleading news. *Reject falsehoods immediately. *Create a clean mind. *Allow only mindsets that stir up, build up and cheer up. The greatest Mindsets of all are a Giving Mindset and a Gratitude Mindset. God gave us a Mindset in a Manger as a gift of Truth that Sets us Free from worldly mindsets of sin. Receive Him, be grateful for Him and share Him. “Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:17TPT‬‬ “For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:3-5‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Coming Next: The Christmas Place /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39532080

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Fifteen 12/24/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Fifteen THE SEVEN POVERTY’S of CHRISTMAS ~ Day 15 Generational Jail Cells When Wisdom had given the angels instructions for Christmas week, they were never given advance notice about where they would go. All they knew is that they’d visit a region somewhere on earth. Now the earth is nowhere near as vast as heaven, but there was still a lot of ground to cover. Within the domain of the earth were miniature replicas of what people would experience in their lives beyond their present world. Freedom and Bondage existed in many different forms. Prisons were physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Freedom was represented by a Peace that Transcends All Understanding in this world and the next. The angels referred to the earth as the Circle of Clay. They knew it had been created and shaped by Wisdom. The people who lived there existed in mortal bodies that were perishable with a Limited Time of Survival. The angels called them the Clay People. Clay could only be shaped for a time and time and a half. For the angels, time is of the essence to prepare the people for life after their bodies perished. Today’s mission for the angels on December 22 was to visit those imprisoned in jails. The angels would rather not go. They had read the stories in the Angelic Archives of Antiquity about the Fallen Angels. Wisdom had cast them away from heavenly freedom into the bondage of a Fiery Abyss. Nonetheless, they knew their mission was extremely important and unavoidable. On the Northeastern Coast of the country with the highest incarceration rate in the world was a Family Prison. The United States was the leader in jailing its citizens. Young people grew up without dads who were in prison. Time in jail was expected and accepted as something a man had to do. Time away from the neighborhood was called a Vacation. Some guys never met their fathers until they were locked up together. The angels were spread out over America and instructed to go behind bars on a Time Sensitive Rescue Mission. One of the angels was directed to the Paradidomi Penitentiary. A grandfather was doing a sentence of life without parole for murder. His son was sentenced for conspiracy under the Rico Law for gang activity and was serving 20 years to life. The grandson had just arrived to serve 8-10 years on a burglary charge. Grandpa was serving in the Prison Ministry while his son was involved in gangster activities. The newly arrived grandson was eager to follow in his dads footsteps. He told his friends that he had gangster blood. He’d never met Grandpa before. When he heard he was a Jailhouse Deacon, he wanted nothing to do with him. The angel needed to influence the youngster fast before he was hardened beyond reach. The angel knew of a triple murderer who’d learned the Way of Wisdom and wanted to help younger guys steer clear of trouble. He worked in the kitchen and was given great liberties by the Warden because of his record of helping guys change their lives. The angel opened a door for the youngster that was too hard to refuse. Soon, without realizing what was happening, he was being tutored by an Old Gangster with Wisdom. SEVEN INSIGHTS FOR INMATES It’s better to be accepted as you are instead of changing to be accepted. Avoid trouble to find safety. Joining a Faith Community is safer than joining a Fighting Community. Deal with your emotions before they control your behavior. It’s okay to be vulnerable with guys you trust. Write your struggles, emotions and causes in an Attitude Journal. Admitting your weaknesses and seeking help is an act of power. “At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭TPT‬‬ “You will be a light to shine for all people. You will help the blind to see. You will free those who are in prison. You will lead those who live in darkness out of their prison.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭42:6-7‬ ‭ICB‬‬ Coming next: Guardians of The Mindset /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39531450

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Fourteen 12/22/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Fourteen THE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS ~ Day 14 Multiple Streams of Poverty The angels seemed to be up against more than they had bargained for. The people were spending much more than they had. Christmas was turning into the Season of Spending Beyond Reason. Folks went overboard in making materialistic purchases hoping to provide proof of their love. Today is December 21 and the angels were assigned to cover the Middle Class & Poorest Communities all over the world. People who lived in these neighborhoods were often living on the borders of desperation. They could be easily enticed into believing that overspending would bring them happiness. Overspending was only one of the Multiple Streams of Poverty, but it could be the catalyst in opening the floodgates of Greater Poverty. The devil and his deadbeat parasites were well-versed in Wisdom’s Plan of Truth for Life. They had become experts at Twisting Truth. The evil sycophants knew that untaught and unstable people could be manipulated by False Hope. They sold lies that were easily bought by people whose hearts were easily deceived. One particular house with a peculiar red haze over it caught an angel’s attention. The breath of wickedness hovered like a poisonous vapor over an apartment complex. A single mother was alone in bed as her five children slept nearby. One of the Fiends of Evil knelt by her bedside. Being alone, the woman was desperate to hear any voice that would give hope to her aching soul. Christmas would be here soon and though not quite penniless, there wasn’t much money to cover the Dreams of her children. To make matters worse, her wealthy sister was always rubbing her nose in shame as she bragged about her abundance and prosperity. The woman’s pillow was drenched with tears. She cried out loudly hoping someone would hear and take pity on her sad situation. She opened her mind to any possibility that might exist. In that opening, the Fiend of Evil seized an opportunity and began speaking to her. “I can help you. I have a way. The Secret is the Spending Way. Spend all you have. Spend all you don’t have. Borrow to Spend More. You’re a good woman and you deserve to Spend like your sister does.” The woman’s crying ceased as she allowed the words of the Fiend to seep into her mind. Unfortunately the darkness had just begun to spread and was about to become more twisted. The Fiend continued its lies, “Now I will give you the greatest Spending Secret of All. I know you believe in Wisdom and the Truth you learned as a child. Listen to what the Truth says, ‘And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” The Fiend almost shouted into her heart, “Don’t you see? You can Spend Everything Always and All Your Needs Will Be Always Be Fully Met!” The angel heard enough of the Fiends Lies and Deception. Although they weren’t allowed to directly intervene, angels could use the Power of Influence. The angel entered the room with the sound of a mighty rushing wind. Its presence was like a Shining Star reflecting the Light of the Son. The brilliance of Light caused the Fiend to flee. The warmth of serenity filled the woman’s room. The Light penetrated her heart and shined on a remembrance long forgotten. It caused her to recall a Manger Story she’d heard as a child. A Baby was Born in a feeding for animals. The Child’s parents probably had less material possessions than she did. By her bed was a nightstand with a copy of Wisdom and Truth. Her tears returned as she opened it and began reading. “Not that I speak from [any personal] need, for I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need. I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose-- I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] Not that I seek the gift itself, but I do seek the profit which increases to your [heavenly] account [the blessing which is accumulating for you]. And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” , , AMP The woman recognized how Evil had Twisted Truth to Deceive her. Had she listened, her family would have Increased the Streams of Poverty and Enlarged their Plight. Out of the pages of Wisdom and Truth fell some notes she had taken the last time she had taken the kids to church. She silently read the words. 1. Spend only what you have. 2. Don’t obtain money in ways that deny God the opportunity to provide. 3. Don’t sacrifice future peace for profit in the present. 4. The Gift of Love is immaterial and more meaningful than money. 5. Having faith is not a credit card with God. 6. Focus on what you can leave this world with. 7. Count the cost. Have a Plan. Keep a Record. “I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:12-13‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Coming next: Poverty Roots /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39511220

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Thirteen 12/22/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Thirteen THE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS ~ Day 13 Joy-Stealers & Hateful-Miscreants Defeated! Breaking A Witch’s Curse The angels had been advised by Wisdom to be on the lookout for Joy-Stealers and Housebreakers. Goodness and Family Potential could be destroyed by Hateful Miscreants who were especially fond of Stealing Joy during the Christmas Season. Their soul purpose at Christmas was to distort the true meaning of an Impoverished Spirit. They would destroy the Christmas Spirit by any means possible. Witchcraft and Curse-Casting were evil tools used against Christmas-Believers. The angels had to be exceptionally aware of the whereabouts and slimy activities of the Misery-Causers. They could not intervene in the Evil-Ventures, but they could ensure Divine Appointments occurred through Heavenly Connections. Angels had connections! They carried with them a list of those wielded the Sword of The Spirit. The Sword could divide and destroy Evil Distortions. The angel covering the Region of South America received knowledge of a Potentially Destructive Endeavor in the country of Brazil. There was a family living in the State of Espírito Santo. Witchcraft was being used against this family with the intent of destroying their Christmas Spirit. Lateena had been married once before to a man whose mother was a witch. A curse was placed upon her at the dissolution of that marriage. The witch had decried deadly words on the wedding day of Lateena and her son. The newlywed was told, “If you ever leave my son, you will be cursed unto death.” The witch put their wedding picture in a jar of honey. She also took some of Lateena’s hair along with buttons from her wedding gown and sealed them in a bag. These were to be Past Remembrances that would Affect the Future. For some strange reason, probably compelled by an evil foreboding, Lateena had saved her ex-mother-in-law’s Past Remembrances and retrieved them from a dresser drawer during Christmas week. She was immediately overcome by dread and began choking. Her daughter knew a man in the neighborhood who wielded the Sword of The Spirit. Within a short time the man arrived carrying his Sword. Seeing the poor woman in the throes of a choking fit. Out of the man’s mouth, the Sword of the Spirit quickly proceeded to destroy and cast down the curse. Immediately the woman was free. Angels have the ability to cause Supernatural Smiles. At the realization that evil has no power over Good when the Sword of the Spirit is used with Wisdom. the family smiled. They were humbled as the true meaning of Poverty in the Spirit helped return their Christmas Joy. “But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you. “I leave the gift of peace with you—my peace. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” ‭‭John‬ ‭14:26-27‬ ‭TPT‬‬ “Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:17-18‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Coming next: Multiple Streams of Poverty /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39511155

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day 12 12/22/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day 12 THE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS ~Day 12 Gangsters Disrespect A Young Girl Some folks noticed something different about yesterday. When the angels came to earth from heaven on high, there was a shift in the atmosphere. Only those with an awareness and yearning for the Ancient of Days could sense the change. They were few in number - at the beginning. Today is Day Two of the angels earthly visitation to share the Seven Poverty’s. The more they spread throughout the world, ripples of recognition began to awaken hungry hearts. There was something happening, but the people weren’t sure what it was. An angel arrived in the Northeastern Region of the United States of America. The name of the Region sounded fictitious as the people who lived there were anything but united. The place of the angel’s arrival was a gym in one of the most impoverished and violent neighborhoods in America. Fatherless young people populated the homes around the gym. Children who grow up without fathers are left with a Poverty of Personality. This one Poverty has the Potential to cause most of the other Poverty’s in the world. For young people, the emptiness is not easily identifiable. The absence of a Father-Personality leaves an unfulfilled desperation to be recognized and loved. They were good kids with absentee dads living hard lives. The moms were doing the best they could to fill the role of a Father-Personality. Poverty pushed against their efforts from all sides. Gangs prowled the streets looking to recruit new members willing to steal, kill and destroy anything to benefit the gang. Gangsters would come to the gym in a youth center to play basketball. Girls would come mostly to watch and be seen. The guys treated them nicely as the first step in their grooming process. The girls were looking for the Love of a Father. The guys lacked that love and were looking for a girl to use. The angel focused on the guy who ran the gym. He had no special expertise or talent, but possessed a strong desire to do the right thing. A small seed of compassion was dropped in between the beats of his heart. The angel planted a seed of compassion in hopes of generating the growth of Father-Personalities in the young people. This was done in accordance with Wisdom’s instructions about not intervening or alleviating suffering. Angels were only to plant seeds and allow people to make the choice of pursuing compassion. Five guys had gathered around a 14 yr. old girl. She was easily flattered by the attention she was receiving. The guys in the gang and the young girl were living fatherless. Fatherlessness is a contagious cultural contamination that causes generational despair. She was too innocent to realize they were grooming her for their devious pleasures. They asked her to jump, and while that may not appear as a lewd request, it came from the root of nasty thoughts. The girl was quickly embarrassed. The look on her face was shame mixed with fear and awkwardness. The guy running the gym may not have had any special skills, but he did have a keen awareness of what was happening in every corner of the gym. He exploded in anger at the gangsters. He would not allow any girls to be treated like dirt. The guys were told to leave. Any expulsions from the gym were temporary and intended for discipline. The disrespect of girls was the worst offense fatherless guys committed. The youth director became a Father-Personality to help fill the void of absentee fathers. The angel had found an imperfect, but willing soul. The man surrendered the weakness of his own flesh and expressed an eagerness to demonstrate a Father’s Love to the fatherless. “For in You [O Lord] the fatherless find love, pity, and mercy.” ‭‭Hosea‬ ‭14:3‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ “Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ “Defend the defenseless, the fatherless and the forgotten, the disenfranchised and the destitute.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭82:3‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Coming next: Breaking A Witch’s Curse /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39511010

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Eleven 12/22/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Eleven THE SEVEN POVERTY’S of CHRISTMAS ~ Day 11 Angels On Earth As They Are In Heaven The metal from the man’s prosthesis gleamed in the sun as he lay on the sidewalk. An old Army green wool blanket partially covered his curled up body. A rolled up newspaper was under his head providing a small cushion on the cold cement. There was a sewer grate on the curb just a few feet from his head. Most passersby gave a quick glance, registered a bit of pity in their hearts and kept going. Many of them were on their way to church. To them he was just another poor lost soul in a city of many homeless folks looking for a handout. It was 7 am on December 18 and the Army of Angels had just passed through the firmament between heaven and earth. Today was the beginning of the Seven Poverty’s of Christmas. Wisdom had trained them for this special occasion to coincide with the Seven Days Before Christmas. Each angel was assigned a specific territory on earth. They would designate certain individuals to receive one or more of the Seven Poverty’s of Christmas. This distinction was referred to as the Blessing of Deficit. The man with the metal leg represented an opportunity for someone to perform an Act of Compassion. The Poverty of Flesh was lying on the sidewalk. The angel reviewed Wisdom’s Teaching on the Poverty of Flesh. [1. The greater the brokenness in spirit, the greater the understanding of how to alleviate suffering in broken flesh. 2. Humbleness in spirit creates helpfulness to hurting humans. 3. Lean not on your broken flesh, but rather seek mercy and grace on your way to wisdom 4. All broken bodies are temples in disrepair waiting for compassion to rebuild them. 5. Temporary brokenness on earth is a Bridge to Permanent Healedness in heaven. 6. Grace undeserved is meant to be freely given to the under served. 7. The Seven Words of Renewal: Recognize, Respond, Relieve, Redeem, Release, Respect and Raise. The eyes of Wisdom will go round about the earth looking for brokenness and those who offer tenderness. Your task will be to take special note and record those offerings. In the coming days they will be known as Compassioneers, Gracegivers and Rebuilders. The Law of First Sight demands that you give a Second Look.] The man didn’t have a sign and wasn’t begging, he was just there - sleeping. All of the cars drove by granting only a glance of First Sight except one. A man and his wife were on their way to church. They were already late. The First Sight of their eyes demanded a Second Look from the hearts. They turned around and drove back to where the one legged man was lying on the sidewalk. After getting out of his car, the man almost tripped on the curb as his eyes were fixed on the metal leg gleaming in the sun. The man with the metal leg lifted his head, smiled and said hello. After some small talk, the man with two legs asked the one legged man how he could help him. He replied: “I’m good, just waiting for a ride.” After praying with the man and leaving him a business card, the man and his wife went off to church. Nothing special happened except maybe the one legged man knew somebody cared. Caring is a big thing in this world. The angel smiled and recorded the Act of Compassion.

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Ten 12/22/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Ten THE SEVEN POVERTY’S of CHRISTMAS ~ Day 10 The Forest of Shabbat Twas the day before the angels journey to earth and where they would embark on a special Mission for Wisdom. They had just spent seven days learning about the Seven Poverty’s of Christmas and now they were at ease. The Sabbatical Calendar provided a day of rest and Wisdom was ensuring they made the most of the Sabbath Day. The angels were finding Calmness of Spirit as they breathed deeply in the Forest of Shabbat. Silence filled their souls like a mountain stream in spring rejuvenating a river with a surge of fresh potential. Tomorrow is December 18 and the Army of Heaven’s Angels would descend upon the earth. During the Seven Days of Christmas, the angels would use the Seven Poverty’s of Christmas as Tools of Wisdom. Mercy would bring Redeeming Grace and Goodwill toward all people. Judgement would bring Everlasting Spiritual Ruin and Eternal Perdition. The angels were resting in a day of Prayer, Gratitude and Positioning. Prayer inspires Gratitude and Positions Oneself for Greater Acts of Goodwill. The angels Prayed the Words of Wisdom and He dropped thoughts into their hearts as they prayed. “You have been especially chosen for such a time as this. You are simultaneously my Messengers and my Tools. You are a Guard and a Fighter. You are a Preparer and a Rescuer. You are an Encourager and a Punisher.” “Please spend your remaining time before departing from heaven reflecting on the Accolades of the Angels of Antiquity who have gone before you.” “You are a Preparer of the Way.” “I am going to send an angel before you to protect you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.” “You will Conquer Fear With Good News.” “But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people.” AMPC “You will Protect and Defend.” “When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us? God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go, defending you from all harm. If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling. You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness, trampling every one of them beneath your feet!” TPT “Be Alert and Respond.” “God has set his throne in heaven; he rules over us all. He’s the King! So bless God, you angels, ready and able to fly at his bidding, quick to hear and do what he says. Bless God, all you armies of angels, alert to respond to whatever he wills. Bless God, all creatures, wherever you are— everything and everyone made by God. And you, O my soul, bless God!” MSG “There will always be a First Angel who leads.” “Then a very large group of angels from heaven joined the first angel. All the angels were praising God, saying: “Give glory to God in heaven, and on earth let there be peace to the people who please God.”” ICB “You are Never Alone.” “Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels. The angels were around the throne, the four living things, and the elders. There were thousands and thousands of angels—there were 10,000 times 10,000.” ICB “You are a Messenger of Good News.” “The angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand before God. God sent me to talk to you and to tell you this good news.” ICB “You will have the ability to Enter Dreams.” “While he was still debating with himself about what to do, he fell asleep and had a supernatural dream. An angel from the Lord appeared to him and said, “Joseph, descendant of David, don’t hesitate to take Mary into your home as your wife, because the power of the Holy Spirit has conceived a child in her womb. She will give birth to a son and you are to name him ‘Savior,’ for he is destined to give his life to save his people from their sins.”” TPT “When Your First Words Cause Fear ~ Your Next Words Will Cause Reassurance.” “Mary was deeply troubled over the words of the angel and bewildered over what this may mean for her. But the angel reassured her, saying, “Do not yield to your fear, Mary, for the Lord has found delight in you and has chosen to surprise you with a wonderful gift.” TPT “You Will Bring Plans for Protection.” “After they had gone, Joseph had another dream. An angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Get up now and flee to Egypt. Take Mary and the little child and stay there until I tell you to leave, for Herod intends to search for the child to kill him.”” TPT “You will bring a Message about a Child Who will be known as the Prince of Peace.” “The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.” Coming next: Angels On Earth As They Are In Heaven /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39508700

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Nine 12/18/2025

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Nine The Poverty of Place The angels gathered in Seventh Heaven near the Pool of Bethesda. Everything in Heaven had a Greater Purpose than its Appearance. Bethesda was known as a Place of Ever-Flowing Many Waters. The Pool was a Reservoir of Restoration flowing with Mercy and ripples of Grace. The angels found it to be a personal place of Peace. The final day of training had arrived and the angels were feeling downright triumphant! In two days they would be released from Heaven for the Seven Days of Christmas. Wisdom had taught them well. Soon they would be on earth as they were in heaven. Poverty in many forms had been instilled in their minds. The last Poverty of Christmas would put the finishing touch of Wisdom on their Preparation. Like a mother bird broods over her young, Wisdom’s presence covered the angels. He began to teach them about the Poverty of Place. “Many people on earth have been constrained by the Poverty of Place. The Truth you must carry to All People in All Places is this: "In Every Place There exists Potential for All Things to Work Together for Good." After tomorrow’s Sabbatical Day of Shabbat, you will visit many people in many places during the Seven Days of Christmas. You will have the knowledge of what People have Placed in their Hearts. You will see Pain-Causers and Pain-Receivers. You will see the Unhealed and the Unheard. You will see the Deviants and the Victims. You will see the Preconceived Perspectives placed upon people.” “You will place all people in higher esteem than yourselves. Point out to those in a Hopeless Place that there is Hope for a Better Place. Less becomes Fullness in a Heart filled with Hope. The Sun always rises and so shall they and find Healing in its Wings. Encourage the Unhealed to Search for Truth. Give Sight in the Eyes of their Hearts to see the Joy that’s Set Before Them. For those that seek the More Excellent Way of Love, None Shall Perish in the Place of No Hope.” “Point out to those who’ve placed people in Shame & Unworthiness, their lack of valuing others shall pass upon their own hearts if they Remain In Place. The Poverty of Place is created by humankind by the Hypocrisy of OneUpmanship. To gain Ground by causing Grief is creating for oneself a Path to Punishment in a Bottomless Pit. The Judas-Kiss gives Treason to the Season and builds a Place of Betrayal. Give them one Last Chance to turn and travel the Prodigal Path.” “Lastly on this Final Day of Preparation for the Seven Days of Christmas, here are Seven Presents you may Place in the Hearts of the People whose Presence you Enter.” THE SEVEN PLACES of CHRISTMAS PRESENCE 1. Hope In A Hard Place 2. Resting Place of Comfort 3. Place of New Birth 4. Place of Trust 5. Patient Place 6. Place of Greater Awareness 7. Ability to Place Their Feet In The Shoes of Another. “This pool in the Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches (alcoves, colonnades, doorways). In these lay a great number of sick folk– some blind, some crippled, and some paralyzed (shriveled up)– waiting for the bubbling up of the water. For an angel of the Lord went down at appointed seasons into the pool and moved and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted.” John 5:2-4 AMPC “He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort-- we get a full measure of that, too.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 MSG Coming Next: Day 10, The Sabbatical Prayer /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39458300

A Christmas Shoe Story 12/13/2025

A Christmas Shoe Story A Christmas Shoe Story David needed shoes badly; unfortunately, his feet were a size 16. He looked through the bin of used shoes and shook his head. “You don’t happen to have a size 16 anywhere, do ya?” He asked. Size 16 isn’t usually found in our donations. My wife Linda would have to order David’s shoes. David and his wife live in a homeless shelter, many people do. They end up homeless for many reasons. Some will eventually leave the shelter and begin life on more solid ground. Some will always be homeless. Almost half of the shelter residents are women, they make up 40% of the homeless population and 98% of those women have suffered domestic abuse or sexual violence. When the shoes came to our house in the mail, I smiled – picturing David smiling as he opened the box with his new shoes. Christmas at the Shelter comes at least once a month for our team of volunteers. We serve dinner and give out clothing. Whatever the Shelter might be low on, toilet paper, water, sanitary items, etc. We serve the need. I remember when I yelled David’s name as almost 160 people gathered in the back yard of the shelter for dinner. “David! My wife found you a pair of new size 16 shoes!” David didn’t smile as he opened the shoebox. He examined the shoes, closed the lid, and turned to walk away without a word. At first, I was kind of shocked until I realized the “overwhelm” of the moment. Thinking back on the scene now, I can almost see a tear in his eye as he turned to go. People who are homeless often feel unworthy of receiving anything. They don’t think they deserve a gift. I knew in my heart David was grateful, I didn’t need a thank you. Fast forward two years later. A woman came up to me as I stood in the dinner serving line pouring hot chocolate. She asked for prayer for her husband. Her prayer request was that her husband would continue striving to be a better man and husband as had begun a Bible study. She then added, “You may remember him, his name is David. You gave him size 16 shoes two years ago and that’s when he started to change.” Tears welled up in my eyes. It was proof of what patient love without expectation can do. Only God knows what He will do when we trust Him with what we do. In January Youth With A Purpose will celebrate 25 years of ministry that began in Buffalo, NY. We build relationships with homeless people and children in a Navajo safe home called NAOMI House. Thank you everyone whose supported this ministry for over a quarter of a century. You've touched the lives of people you don’t know and made them feel valued and worthy of love. What you do means a lot. We appreciate you. Merry Christmas! If you would like more information or we can pray for you, please let us know. Jesus loves you and so do we. Bob & Linda Kuebler 4565 N. Lazy Lariat Ln.

The Seven Poverty's of Christmas Day Two THE ANGELS LEARN THE SEVEN POVERTY’S OF CHRISTMAS The angels listened intently as Wisdom began guiding them into the Knowledge of Seven Poverty’s. Time was of the essence to release the Seven Spirits of Poverty during the Time of Prospering. Christmas is known as a Season of Giving and people often created debt in their desires to please others. Wisdom wanted the angels to begin blanketing the people of earth with opportunities to know the Poverty’s. Before the angels could receive the Knowledge of Seven Poverty’s, they would be required to be in Unity of Agreement regarding the Seven Rules of Release. THE SEVEN RULES of RELEASE 1. You are to give poverty without advice. 2. Do not solve any problem of poverty. 3. Do not give give people answers. 4. You may only ask questions of Wisdom. 5. Your goal is always to create struggle. 6. Focus on removing comforts. 7. You may plant one Seed of Perseverance in each Impoverished Person. All of the angels agreed except one. He disagreed with being forced to leave someone in pain. “We should show compassion to these poor people!” Wisdom shook his head and patiently replied, “The people have lost the Gift of Struggle and have fallen for the Temptation of Expectation. They expect life to be easy and without struggle. They need to learn the Beauty of Conflict. Hardship is a path along the Stepping Stones of Resilience that leads to the Forest of Servanthood. It is in that Forest that they will find the Tree of Life. The angel understood and was now in Unity of Agreement with the Seven Rules of Release. Wisdom was ready to begin giving the angels the Knowledge of Seven Poverty’s. The first part of their lesson would be Head Knowledge with the following lessons dedicated to Heart Knowledge. Wisdom now revealed the Seven Poverty’s: THE SEVEN POVERTY’S 1. The Poverty of Flesh 2. The Poverty of Personality 3. The Poverty of Spirit 4. The Poverty of Income 5. The Poverty of Generations 6. The Poverty of Mind 7. The Poverty of Place Wisdom would explain each Poverty in greater detail during the next Seven Days of Guidance beginning December 10. They would need to start releasing the Seven Spirits of Poverty at midnight on December 18 to coincide with the Seven Days of Christmas. On December 17, they would come together for the Day of Seven Prayers. “Even in times of trouble we have a joyful confidence, knowing that our pressures will develop in us patient endurance. And patient endurance will refine our character, and proven character leads us back to hope. And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!” Romans 5:3-5 TPT Coming next: The First Poverty /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39346525

Does Euthanasia Let You Die With Dignity? 11/20/2025

Does Euthanasia Let You Die With Dignity? Assisted Suffering Today’s a good day to talk about suffering and pain. Oh yay, what a happy topic! Life is full of shadows in the valleys of death. You will eventually walk in the darkness of suffering and grief; illness, emotional pain, death, and fear. In this edition of Bible Shorts With Biblebob we cover Euthanasia, suicide, Hospice and "pulling the plug," (removing life support.) Euthanasia and suicide are two totally different topics. Euthanasia is dying through the assistance of someone else. Suicide is dying through an act of self. One is called assisted dying, but both of them can be called "assisted suffering." Death usually causes sadness, grief and suffering. Suicide ends suffering for the one who is dead. Suicide creates untold suffering for those who are left behind. Suicide is a byproduct of hopelessness. There is always hope found in the Bible. “Come, my young friends, and listen to me, and I will teach you to honor the Lord. Would you like to enjoy life? Do you want long life and happiness? Then keep from speaking evil and from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good; strive for peace with all your heart. The Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their cries; but He opposes those who do evil, so that when they die, they are soon forgotten. The righteous call to the Lord, and He listens; He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who are discouraged; He saves those who have lost all hope.” Psalm 34:11-18 GNT “He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as He has promised. Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for You are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.” Psalm 23:3-4 GNT The world will try and persuade you that the shadow of death is the best way to relieve your pain and anxiety. Assisted dying (suicide) has been legalized in 11 states in America and six countries in Europe. The Bible has several stories about assisted suicide. Saul asked for his death to be facilitated. The order was refused and he took his own life. “Then Saul said to his armour bearer, ‘Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mistreat me.’ But his armour bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore, Saul took his own sword and fell upon it.” 1 Samuel 31:4 ESV In another story about Saul’s death a man takes credit for killing Saul, thinking that he would be rewarded by David for killing his enemy. He ends up dead. “I saw that Saul was leaning on his spear and that the chariots and cavalry of the enemy were closing in on him. Then he turned around, saw me, and called to me. I answered, ‘Yes, sir!’ He asked who I was, and I told him that I was an Amalekite. Then he said, ‘Come here and kill me! I have been badly wounded, and I'm about to die.’ So I went up to him and killed him, because I knew that he would die anyway as soon as he fell. Then I took the crown from his head and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them to you, sir.” David asked him, “How is it that you dared kill the Lord's chosen king?” Then David called one of his men and said, “Kill him!” The man struck the Amalekite and mortally wounded him, and David said to the Amalekite, “You brought this on yourself. You condemned yourself when you confessed that you killed the one whom the Lord chose to be king.” 2 Samuel 1:6-10, 14-16 GNT When the 7th and 8th Graders I teach in Debate Class were presented this topic for discussion, several of them brought up the Sixth Commandment that says, "You shall not murder." (Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17) What do you think? Is it wise to end someone’s suffering by granting them a death wish? Does a purposeful act of ending one’s life create even greater suffering for those left behind? Does assisted death or suicide become assisted suffering for those left to deal with the aftermath of pain and sorrow? How can you assist someone who is suffering? Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we. biblebob.org /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39115330

Grief Left On A Mountain 11/11/2025

Grief Left On A Mountain Grief Left On A Mountain Please Note: I recorded this after hiking 3,400' to the top of Humphrey's Peak at 12, 633' and I was extremely fatigued and dealing with the effects of altitude. This was a hike in remembrance of my son Steve who climbed his final life mountain 0n 11-11-24. This is one way I deal with grief; I leave it on a mountain. The podcast is short (I was out of breath!) Mission Accomplished! True, I was the slowest hiker on the mountain, but I prayed my way through the cramps to the top of Humphreys Peak Finishing the goal in honor of my son was great, but the people I prayed with along the way made it extra special. It was a year ago today that my son Steve climbed his final mountain. Here is the Bible verse I read at the top: “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭55‬-‭57‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ The sting of loss remains, but my gratitude to God for having been Steve’s dad for 40 years brings relief. I shared my story with many hikers along the way and we prayed together. I asked them what they needed prayer for and recorded their responses in my phone so I can keep praying for them. There was even a marriage proposal on the saddle before the summit - and she said yes! Lot’s of new beginnings happen on mountaintops! At the top I recorded this podcast/video on grief. G - Gratitude - be generous in giving to others. R - Respond - to your emotions; take time to grieve. I - Invest - in others, initiate intimacy - form meaningful relationships. E - Extra Mile - don't settle for medioacrity. Love with everything in you. F - Finish - what you start; don't let unfinished projects hold you back from your destiny. Express gratitude for what you’ve been given by being generous with others. Respond to grief as it comes upon you. Cry when you need to. Climb a mountain when you need to. Invest in others. Serving other people will benefit you and them. Always go the extra mile in adding value to your relationships. Be a finisher. Grief is not something that’s finish-able, but keeping your word to finish what you say is a mountain worth climbing. Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we. /episode/index/show/a7990295-60d6-4ec5-bd71-b37061f640cc/id/39000220
