JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES One Lord One Faith If It Had Not Been… 149th BDS – 12/5/2024 Scripture Reference: Acts 16: 19-24, 25-34 Circumstances that we find ourselves in and experiences we are sure to encounter as allowed by our GOD as they are, are always purpose driven. Like thinking back to moments in our lives whether in the past or near present, GOD has been and is so intentional in everything that He does. In these passages of Scripture, we find Paul and Silas in quite the unfortunate situation.. or is it? “And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, and brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Paul and Silas met a woman who was possessed with a spirit which her masters had been using to their advantage to gain money. Paul commanded the spirit to come out of her in the Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST and the spirit came out. Her masters seeing that their cash cow could no longer perform what she used to, took Paul and Silas in anger to the authorities and accused them of unlawful acts. This was just the beginning. “And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Suddenly Paul and Silas found themselves being opposed by the many people that were in the marketplace. What happened next was nothing that Paul or Silas could have even imagined would take place. Much like when we make the choice or decide to do something whether we feel truly justified in what we do or are simply acting on impulse, oftentimes we aren’t exactly ready for the results especially when the outcome is against us. “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Paul and Silas after being stripped out of their clothes and beaten, they were then thrown in jail. However, Paul and Silas set an example for the other prisoners by praying and giving praise to GOD through songs. Can you see yourself joyfully praising GOD during your circumstances as Paul and Silas did? Or would you be too busy throwing a pity party and/or blaming others for your misfortunes? GOD caused a natural phenomenon to rock the jail to the point where the guard woke up and was ready to take his own life rather than to face those who had given him orders to watch over the prisoners, because he thought that the prisoners including Paul and Silas surely had escaped. “But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭28‬-‭34‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Paul by hollering out to the guard that everyone was present and accounted for, actually saved the life of the guard. Not only that, GOD moved on the heart of the guard to ask Paul what he had to do to be saved. Paul told him the truth, that he had to believe in The Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, his death, burial and resurrection. The Word of GOD spoken to the guard and his family caused them to be baptized in The Name of The LORD JESUS CHRIST and they believed from that point in their lives. Final Thought: If it had not been for Paul and Silas meeting the possessed woman, if it had not been for GOD allowing them to be imprisoned, if it had not been for the guard coming to the point of wanting to take his own life.. then he nor his family would never have heard the Word of Truth!!! Some of you are going through an “..if it had not been…” moment right now just thinking about what could have been. If it had not been for the LORD being on your side, where would you be? Take the time to give thanks to our GOD, simply because.. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN… -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

Don’t Forget Our Children 139th BDS – 9/5/2024 Scripture Reference: Mark 10:13-16, Luke 18:15-17, Matthew 19:13-15 Yesterday there was another tragedy at yet another school that rocked a small town in the state of Georgia. Many of you reading this probably heard about it or have read about it or have seen the news reporting on it. Where I live, young teens are killed or are involved in violent crimes almost every day. In the Middle East, children are given little to no chance at life by being sold into manual labor camps and are exposed to conditions most adults wouldn’t even work in. In Africa, Asia and Latin America young girls are discarded as sex objects and are drugged into a life of prostitution and sex slavery. This may not hit home to many of you that are reading this because of the protections against such horrific things happening to your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. While all of this is going on, our children are being lost in a generation who has not taught them nor have taken the time to teach them about our GOD Who sent His only begotten Son JESUS to die for their sins that they may have a chance at salvation and life eternal in His Kingdom. “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ We may receive ridicule from the World around us for teaching our children the way that they should go by introducing them to a GOD Who already knows how their lives will end. The responsibility for bringing them to Him is that of every parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, and anyone who can serve as a tool to be used by GOD to ensure that our children have a fighting chance in life through a relationship with JESUS CHRIST. “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Yes, JESUS IS CALLING even our smallest children to Him as the time grows near for His return. Nothing should hold us back that have the ability to do so, to lead, guide and teach our children (and not just those in our households and family bloodlines) the Word of GOD every chance that we get. Even we as adults learn from the Scripture that we must come to GOD like the Heavenly Father that He is through His Son JESUS CHRIST with all humility and child like innocence of obedience if we expect to go back with Him when He comes.(Mark 10:15) “And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ GOD has His Hands on our children’s lives just as He has His Hands on our lives as He does not regard any one greater than the other and He wishes that none of us leaves this life without fully knowing Him first. Final Thought: Understanding that life as fragile as it is, is also short. Add to that the fact there is a spiritual enemy who is busy working overtime to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10) whomever He can swallow up (1 Peter 5:8) and our children are the number one targets. Our children are the future of the BODY OF CHRIST that will carry His Word into the next generation and those to come, teaching them His Plan of Salvation and ways of righteous living.. it’s already promised to them. (Acts 2:39) We cannot afford to forget our children and the promise of an eternal future for them in and through JESUS CHRIST! So let them know that we are fighting for each and every one of them because their soul’s depend on it!! -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

The Best Is Yet To Come 138th BDS – 8/29/2024 Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:1-12 I do believe without a doubt that in these days and times it is often a struggle now and again to see the great things that are waiting for those of us that truly believe. We could all easily say: “Well, things aren’t looking to good right now…” or “This is as good as it gets…”. I challenge you in every instance when those types of thoughts begin to rise to the surface, to weigh the promises of our GOD against them. JESUS taught His Disciples and the many who came to hear Him on the mountain near the Lake of Gennesaret/Sea of Galilee: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Due to the things that we see or are going through, we may not feel like rejoicing all of the time, but remembering that JESUS promised that He is preparing a place for those that believe is reassurance of the glory to come if we hold on and patiently wait. “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ As sure as our GOD creates new lives there will surely be deaths, but through His Spirit that was sent to comfort us during times of bereavement we will have the strength to get through it all because these things to will pass. “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬ In a World that is filled with the need to be dominant, we are taught that only the strong survive.. however, in JESUS we can rest assured that humility will be the victor in the end. “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Remember that above everything and everyone else, looking to and obeying the commands of the author and finisher of our faith should be first on our list to do.. for those who choose to do that, the things of this World will not satisfy them but, truly the ways of our GOD will. “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Showing compassion isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength and the ability to exercise it daily no matter who mistreats us will ultimately cause GOD’s favour that is constantly following those that believe all the days of our lives to overflow into everything that we do and lift us up to a standard of living in and through Him. “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ There’s an old hymnal that sings: “It’s a high way to Heaven, none can walk up there but the pure in heart…”..that song of Zion is the truth as Psalm 24:3-4 reminds us: Who will go back with our LORD when He comes and who will enter into His Kingdom? Only those with clean hands or that have kept His commandments (Word) and those that have pure hearts or who have truly loved others around them even those who have taken up or will take up positions against us. “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ This Scripture especially in today’s society is truly like “..swallowing a camel but choking on a gnat..”(Matthew 22:24). Meaning, we find it hard within ourselves to get along with others some times expressly when our views aren’t aligning. However, practicing peace with all of mankind as much as it is possible within us through the HOLY SPIRIT, is one of the keys to entering into our LORD’s Kingdom.(Hebrews 12:14) Final Thought: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬ These last three verses all flow in unison with each other and simply put.. those that choose not to retaliate when we are talked about, lied on, kicked around, abused mentally, physically and emotionally, cast away by those who despise us for Who we believe in and how He is using us and even may have our very lives taken for standing up for the Name of JESUS CHRIST and the Gospel of our GOD, we can hold our heads high and take the punishment that we receive here on Earth because the reward for holding our peace will be much greater and well worth our reward in Heaven!!! Oh YES, the BEST IS YET TO COME!!! -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES One Lord One Faith Rise And Walk Out Your Destiny 137th BDS- 8/22/2024 Scripture Reference: Matthew 9:1-8, John 5:1-15, Exodus 21:18-20 It never ceases to amaze me how GOD has a plan for all of us! I mean through countless moments in His Word He heals, sets free and delivers those that He has chosen to be let loose of whatever troubled them. Now some may say: “He hasn’t done anything like that for me.. I still have diabetes, I still have cancer, I still suffer from a broken heart, I still struggle with alcohol and/or drugs…”, but yet they keep right on waking up every morning to a new day, another chance to get to know Who JESUS is and yet another chance at redemption through baptism in The NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT which leads to eternal life in a new Heaven and a new Earth. “And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ What blocks most from truly believing that sins can be forgiven and that healing does take place, is a lack of belief in JESUS Himself and the power of His persecution, death, burial and resurrection. (vs. 3) JESUS was given the power to erase our sins, so that every day is a new day with Him when we repent (ask forgiveness and turn from the sin), put it behind us, pick up a renewed strength in Him and leave what weighed us down on the bed of forgetfulness. (vs. 6) In verse 6 of John Chapter 5, JESUS simply asks the diseased man lying by the pool of Bethesda: “Wilt thou be made whole?” As to say, “Do you want to be healed?” The same that He inquires of all of us. Do you want to be changed in your way of thinking, acting, talking and walking through this fallen World? Or, would you rather continue on the same trek for the rest of your natural life without knowing Who He is and experiencing the power that is so freely promised to and given to us that believe in Him? (2 Timothy 3:5-6) “Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.” John‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: Surely, there will be those who mock the very thought of us that believe in a GOD that we can’t see, let alone a man that gave His life for us on the cross at Calvary so that we would be free from sin and the sting of death. They will even try to destroy the hope that we have in and through JESUS CHRIST by their words, actions and plots against us. “Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Remember Who you belong to, the price that He paid with His very own life just for you and the promise that He made to be with you even until the end of the World. Those that oppose you and how GOD has chosen to work in you and through you will have to answer for their deeds.. meanwhile, you keep right on getting up when you fall short of His glory, dust off the old habits and ask JESUS to help you to keep walking out your Heavenly destiny!!! “And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed. And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭21‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES One Lord One Faith Gaslighting The Gospel: Belief Is A Must 134th BDS – 8/1/2024 Scripture Reference: John 6:22-51 “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Nothing much has changed since the beginning of human life itself when it comes to mankind believing that our One True and Living GOD exists. The Children of Israel doubted Him in the wilderness even after He rescued them from oppression at the hands of the Egyptians. Esther doubted that she was chosen to sway the King against the plot of Haman to slaughter GOD’s chosen people. Even after seeing JESUS perform many miracles including raising Lazarus from the dead, most still did not believe that He was The Son of GOD, sent that the World may be saved through Him. “And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭54‬-‭58‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: The fact is, when things don’t quite go as planned, or when tragedy strikes suddenly, or when healing doesn’t come as quickly as we want it to or when injustice goes seemingly unpunished, or when evil appears to prevail.. the human mind looks for someone to blame. Questions of: “Where are You GOD? Why did You allow this to happen? and statements like, “If You’re really real, then You’ll show me GOD!” more often tend to arise. I challenge you to believe.. not because your Mom or Dad believed (believes) and raised you up going to a sanctuary every Sunday, not because your spouse or significant other believed (believes), and not because an individual behind a podium or on a stage tells you that you should. It is important to believe within your very heart and to be persuaded in your own mind that what has been written in the Holy Scriptures is undeniably true! -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES One Lord One Faith Gaslighting The Gospel: Ruler Of All 132nd BDS – 7/11/2024 Remember that: Gaslighting is a form of mental, emotional and in some cases physical abuse or manipulation in which the abuser tries to plant seeds of self-doubt and confusion in their victim’s mind. Oftentimes, gaslighters are bent on gaining power and control over another individual, by twisting reality and causing them to question their own beliefs, motivations and what they know to be true.💡 Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:21, Exodus 5:2, Exodus 6:1-8 We are living in a day and time where much like Pharaoh’s heart was hardened against the Children of Israel and the authority of GOD Himself, so are the hearts of mankind towards GOD’s Word and all that is righteous in obeying His Word. You can literally and physically see that there is no fear of GOD as basic morals have been flipped upside down by a societal culture embracing a Sodom and Gomorrah mentality and lifestyle. “And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ The LORD our GOD destroyed the 2 cities and everyone in them save Lot and his family because of the same things we currently see now.. lawlessness, violence, immoral acts and behavior, corruption and an overall lack of reverence for GOD. “Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ GOD’S Word reminds us of the attitude of Pharaoh and the Egyptians and what not to allow our hearts to become like. Our GOD being the Supreme Ruler of all that He is after sending down the plagues on Egypt, completed what He started with a show of His mighty power, forcing Pharaoh to release the Children of Israel from 400 plus years of oppression and enslavement. Yet Pharaoh in his arrogance still decided to chase GOD’s chosen people into the wilderness. “But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: GOD’S written instructions to us through the Holy Scriptures specifically details how we should learn from the ignorance of those like Pharaoh who refused to believe in the power of a GOD that they could not see. Today, we see those in authoritative positions still doing the exact same thing. They aren’t alone not by a long shot.. so to are the hearts of mankind as a whole filled with the pride of life failing to see that our days are numbered like the very hairs on our heads. Just because GOD allows us to have freedom of choice, doesn’t mean that His power overall every living creature is diminished in anyway. Our GOD is the first and the last with no other god that could nor can ever rival Him. So as His Word says: “O come, let us worship and bow down: Let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart, As in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath That they should not enter into my rest.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY

GOD: I Promised To Be For You, Who Can Be Against You  128th BDS – 6/6/2024 Scripture Reference: Romans 8:30-31 “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬ As a Child of GOD I can testify without any hesitation of the many battles that He has won for me and even now still is “making my enemies my footstool”. I’m not speaking of those solely in human form, but also those pesky sins that creep around the corner, those thoughts that creep into my mind of unworthiness and those heart issues that try to take root to spring up in my garden of personal peace. Yes, I’m battling too! “For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭36‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Which means that under the protection of our One True and Living GOD, we have a Grand Champion who has never been defeated and never will! He has already defeated death, the grave and hell itself!  “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭55‬-‭58‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: I don’t know about you, but being under the shadow of The Almighty is exactly where I want to remain. Think about all of the situations that we have found ourselves in, the folks that have intended to harm us and bury our names in the dirt both openly and secretly, even the way our GOD has shielded us from death itself whether in sickness, violent attacks and/or automobile accidents, just to name a few. To top it all off, through His Holy Spirit even if we die before JESUS returns, we will conquer the very grave that our families and friends laid us to rest in! Oh yes, so our living in and through Him absolutely guarantees us the victory.. the same victory that He himself won when after 3 days in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, He got up with all power in His Hands! So let your enemies take their best shot, call it all joy when you’re hated, invite all the smoke from the jealous types, even speak over your life that no sins will have the rule over your heart, your mind nor your soul! Our GOD IS with us, He is for us and He alone is better than the entire World against us!!! “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES One Lord One Faith GOD: Our Ark Of Safety 126th BDS – 5/23/2024 Scripture Reference: Genesis 6:3, 5-7, 11-14, Genesis 7:1 In these passages of Scripture, GOD looked at all that He had created and it disappointed Him to the point of sadness. Violence had covered the whole Earth, the hearts of mankind were evil and corrupted beyond repair, lawlessness plagued every corner and crevice. GOD had grown tired and decided to destroy everything that He had created with the exception of 8 souls which were Noah and his family because Noah had the favour of GOD on His life. So GOD instructed Noah to build an ark that would keep him, his family and 2 each of every natural creation and creature.. an Ark of Safety.. and everyone and everything else were wiped out by the great flood that filled the Earth. Today, our Ark of Safety has returned to Who it should have always rested in from the beginning of Time.. our One True and Living GOD!!! “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭32‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Allow Him to do what He does best.. protects His own… “Trust in him at all times; ye people, Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭62‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Our GOD doesn’t have a secret agenda.. so telling Him everything that concerns us is a comforting truth that opens us up to total transparency with Him, because we can absolutely trust Him and Him alone. “For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ We can be assured that our GOD will meet our every need no matter the situations that we find ourselves in. He is a dependable shelter that will cover us emotionally, physically, naturally and Spiritually without ever failing us even when the intentions of others are meant to bring shame to our names. Final Thought: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬ In a World where your best friend can quickly become your enemy, relationships fall apart, families split over petty arguments, governments care only about their own and the uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring can cause feelings of hopelessness, our GOD promises to be with us and assures us not to fear what we see going on around us. He will give us the strength to get through the hard times, He is more than available to help us if we let Him, He will defend us when the enemy attempts to use others against us and in turn will flip the odds in our favor so that what was meant for evil against us will work out for our good and cause our enemies to wonder why their wicked plans did not succeed while exposing them for all to see the evil nature of their hearts.

The Spirit of Gluttony: Not Just A Food ‘Thang 125th BDS – 5/16/2024 Scripture Reference: Acts 8:9-24, Jeremiah 16:12 I do believe that we all know without even reading the Bible that “gluttony” has always been spoken of in regards to “excessively eating food”, correct? Right. However, in this particular passage of Scriptures and in many others throughout the Bible, the “gluttony for power” is brought to light as well. Simon the Sorcerer had been astonishing people with his demonic powers for years, but when Philip came to town full of the power of our GOD through the Holy Spirit that was in him, preaching to the people about the Kingdom of GOD and the Name of JESUS CHRIST the people believed  and as a result were also baptized. Even Simon himself was baptized, but the spirit within him even after he was baptized hungered for the power to impress the people so he hung around Philip desiring to know the source of the influence that his preaching had in affecting the people. In other words, the intentions in his heart were to win back the attention, admiration and faithful following of the people that he once had. Sounds like the World we live in today, correct? Right! You see the enemy is tricky and even he too had a “gluttony for power” so much so that he  tried to overthrow our GOD in Heaven along with a third of the angels. Needless to say but just as important, he and the angels that rebelled against GOD were all kicked out of Heaven. “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: The Bible is truly fulfilling itself not only shedding light on the World around us but also what is in the hearts of self-proclaimed “religious leaders” as well. How evident is it that there are power struggles going on all around the globe? Russia bullying Ukraine, China flexing its military muscles on the smaller Asian nations like Taiwan and the Philippines.. let alone right here on United States soil, a coming election that no matter who wins the shift of power will create a lasting ripple effect for years to come. Taking an inventory of our own hearts can only be a good thing.. do you find yourself having to be in control of everything? Do you impose or force your will on others? Do you have to be in charge all the time? Are there others you secretly want to “dethrone” so that you sit high on the pedestal instead of them? Do you find yourself comparing your ability to do certain things better than others? Ask GOD to search your heart and show you if there is anything rooted there that needs to be plucked up and removed and He will do it! “Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

Forgiveness: Seventy Times Seven 124th BDS – 5/9/2024 Scripture Reference: Matthew 18: 21-27 ”Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his Lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the Lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Oh boy!!! When our GOD poured this one into me, I was going through mixed emotions after learning that someone that I respected had disrespected me to someone else who then of course told me about it. At first I laughed and then came anger. Then it was at that very moment that GOD troubled His Spirit within me and scolded me through this passage of Scriptures. We don’t have time to allow anything or anyone to taint our hearts. Life is short and time is short.. is someone else’s mess worth you stressing, agonizing over or retaliating against? The Scriptures tell us to release others from the debts they may owe you or you think that they owe you. The Scriptures tell us that with the same mercy that our GOD shows to us, has shown to us and will continue to show towards us is the same measure of mercy that we too should show to others. ”And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.“ ‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ In other words, in whatever we feel self-justified in feeling towards others, we too will be judged for. Whatever we do towards others whether in secret, subliminally or openly, we too will be judged for. Whatever we think, however we act or what we spread around with flagrant gossip about others, we too will be judged for. Is it really worth losing your inheritance to eternal life for? Is it really worth your inner peace, mental stability and/or your personal joy in this life? Don’t lose your guaranteed inheritance behind anyone else’s ill gotten gains. Final Thought: Stay in His will for your life, GOD’s that is. I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it over and over again.. the rewards will be far greater than possibly dying with an unclean heart or missing the mark for the prize of a higher calling in Christ JESUS!!! Practice forgiveness and claim your inheritance!!! ”Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ ”If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

The Judas Spirit: Discernment  120th BDS – 4/11/2024 Scripture Reference: Luke 6:13-16 There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that JESUS knew that Judas Iscariot would betray Him when He chose him to be one of the twelve apostles. ”When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ ”Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬ So why did He do it? As I sit here writing this even now, there are so many questions and variables racing through my brain. Would I have chosen Judas to be an apostle knowing that he would betray me? Without hesitation that answer is a resounding “NO”! Not only that, I would’ve called him out in front of the other 11 and then some. Then GOD showed me that discernment is often right in front of our very eyes and it comes in warnings so clear at times yet we choose to ignore it. Moreover, GOD showed me that His will be done in all things including when it is allowed to hurt us. He will get all the glory for bringing us through whatever deception we will face in this life just like He did when His only begotten Son suffered and died for us on the cross. Advertisements REPORT THIS AD ”But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭44‬-‭48‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: Sheesh, now I know while you read that just as some of you have read the passage before, you probably thought: “LORD, sometimes this is a hard pill to swallow!!!” Then think of it this way.. JESUS still made Judas one of His twelve chosen all while knowing that he would be the one to orchestrate His capture and set in motion everything that led to His death. What we go through at the hands of others these days may not be as extreme by far, but can seem to be just as painful. Ask yourself: do I have it in me to allow GOD to avenge on my behalf? Will I pay attention to the warnings sent to help me avoid being deceived? Will I ask GOD for discernment to see the hidden intentions of others? Will I still show the same love that JESUS did towards Judas even when I am shown the true hearts of others towards me? Whatever your answers to those questions may be, know that anything that we ask for from our Father in Heaven in JESUS name will be granted if with unwavering faith, we believe.. yes, even discernment.  ”Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.“ ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

The Warnings Of Looking Back 118th BDS – 3/28/2024 Scripture Reference: Luke 9:62, Luke 17:31-32, Genesis 19:17 & 26, Exodus 14:13 ”And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭62‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Our GOD has created us in His own image or likeness to worship Him and to do whatever pleases Him and Him only. So He warns us that if we do not accept, do and obey His will for us and the works that He has given us to do in and through His Name but instead turn and do what we desire and/or perform the desires of others for us, we are no good to Him and His Eternal Kingdom is not and will not be our home. ”In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife.“ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Once we have found our place in Him and He is showing us the way to go, let us not find a place back at that the table of corrupt living nor remember and long for the Worldly comforts of our old lives (not even to imagine what it might be like still living in the old ways before we met Him). GOD warns us of this through the result of what happened to Lot’s wife. Advertisement ”And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.“ ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭19‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.“ ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭19‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬ GOD clearly warns us of the dangers of reaching back to reunite with old friends, restore past relationships and hanging on to what hinders us from not only growth in and through Him, but also the strongholds of lingering with people and in old places that He has plainly and openly rescued us from. ”And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.“ ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ GOD assures us that if we trust Him to move us forward from standing in stagnant waters and if we allow Him to keep us out of harms way and in some situations, certain death.. He will be true to His Word and make sure that we not only never lay our eyes on those people, places, things or even to think in the old ideologies of our past, but also nothing and no one that rises up against us will gain and advantage over us because He is fighting for us behind the scenes!!! Final Thought: ”No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬ So tell me again, why you would ever choose to look back?🤔 -Minister Marchand, Founder and Overseer of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA

JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES(https://jigmonelordonefaith.wordpress.com/) One Lord One Faith Prove and Hold Fast Short Thoughts In A Word: Segment #1 ”Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.“ ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬ As our ever so intentional GOD has pointed out the places that He wants me to go on this journey in Asia, among a lot of things He held this Scripture up in front of me.  The Holy Ghost that is in you, proves all things both our good and our bad.. but even in the midst of those 2 ends of the spectrum of our lives I encourage you to get a strangle hold grip on the things within in you that are good and not by your standards but by our GOD Himself!!! Faith, joy, patievnce, long suffering, never compromising but rather standing tall on His Word, and ever moving forward in a press towards the mark of the high calling which is in our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!!! Final Thought: ”being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ ”Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.“ ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Put your soul salvation first.. yes, it is more than okay to be selfish with your time, your thoughts, your prayers, your faith and your growth as long as it is in CHRIST JESUS!!!

JIGM – JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES(https://jigmonelordonefaith.wordpress.com/) One Lord One Faith Gaining The World, Losing Your Soul 117th BDS – 1/18/2023 Scripture Reference: Luke 9:25, Mark 8:36, Matthew 16:26 ”For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?“ ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬ ”For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?‭‭” Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭36‬ ‭KJV‬‬ ”For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Final Thought: The World around us is designed against everything that GOD warned us about in His Word. The endless pursuit for more has blinded the eyes of His most prized creation. We were made in His image, yet the World says it’s your life do what you wanna’ do.. you only live once, chase the bag, lose your self for a moment of fame and why does a GOD who loves allow disaster, death, famine, diseases and heartache. I’ve heard a lot of excuses over the years, I was the Big Chief of making them even myself. When the knowledge of GOD is made the number one priority in an individuals life, nothing in and of this World can stop your eyes from coming open. What is happening is that there is a lack of knowledge (in GOD’ Word) and it’s all across the board and all around the globe it’s so visible. Social media promotes self-reliance, our governments have went wide left of even the most basic morals, and even the pulpits in sanctuaries around the World are falling prey to a “satisfy the people and speak a half truth” doctrine. GOD SAID: ”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.“ ‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Guard your mind (and those of your children and youth that you know and truly care about) with The Word of GOD because the days are evil and being “WOKE” isn’t a social issues only mantra.. the eyes of GOD’s creation are opened through His Word and The Spirit of Our Living GOD truly living on the inside of us. -Minister Marchand, Founder and Pastor of JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRIES-JIGM and JESUS IS GLOBAL MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY-JIGMIA
