Here we see Paul just talked about the resurrection and the second coming of the Lord and now become even more personal in
1 Thessalonians 5
New King James Version
The Day of the Lord
5 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. Thank the Lord we know lawlessness and evil are over taking the good God created for us all to enjoy and that is loving one another. We are seeing people that want law and order, do not understand what it takes to really have law and order and that is a desire to be disciplined to become peaceful not lawless.  ² For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. Do we really know perfectly that God is in control and not us, or our government? It is amazing to see people running from law and order and getting hurt by officers as they have to subdue, or get control of the unruly and in turn they are accused of brutality. For that is what is shown, not how they were pulled over for disobeying the simplest of wrong behavior and actions. ³ For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. We are seeing people that want peace and safety to day not wanting to follow the law, but be law and order so everyone that controls law and order are the ones at fault for wanting all to obey what is right. ⁴ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. Where are you in how your thinking about what it takes to really have law and order? Are you in the dark thinking what your being shown is actual, as the media is doing all they can to put the fault upon those who are the protectors of law and order.  ⁵ You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Are we sons of light that God created for us all that we can see the difference between day and night? Yes; It is strange that Satan is out to destroy all God created for good, even boys and girls do not know God created them for a reason, so they can be of goodwill and peace to pray for their enemies to become better and never bitter. Boys are now wanting to be girls and girls wanting to be boys. We are seeing truth not accepted today for people do not want to be free to obey, but like freedom to do and think however they want. With the attitude don’t bother me and I will not bother you!  What a lie for the father of lies Satan is out to destroy all God created for good will and peace? ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be ^[a]sober. When do you sleep is very important, so your rested to face the new day. But look at the amount of people that are asleep to the truth for they are determined to do what every they want today regardless of who they hurt. Our days are given to us by God to rejoice and be glad and to day people go about the day with thoughts of doing evil. We are seeing today people full of selfishness bent on destroying all works of Godliness. Lord it is the day that You have given to us to work so we are producing what God wants us to produce so the joy of the Lord is our strength. It is as we abide in the vine Jesus we ae able to do what the Lord wills us to do. It is God living in us to empower us to do and say what is needed to encourage people to walk in the Light of being an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. Lord thank you for night time to sleep and not be busy drinking our life away doing what Satan addicts us to. Thank You Lord, the harder we work in the Kingdom of God doing what is right, the greater our sleep at night. ⁸ But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. Thank the Lord this is the day that You have made to- day, so we can be glad and rejoice in, as we are sober knowing You gave us all the breastplate of Faith and hope to overcome evil by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit of God. Thank you for giving us protection around our hearts, as we seek Your will by the faith You gave all at birth to want to live to be fruitful and blest as we keep the helmet of hope looking for the potential God created us to achieve.⁹ For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁰ who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Thank the Lord God; Jesus is seated at the right side of God interceding for us all to become more and more like Him to escape the wrath of Satan’s addictions he forces upon us as we listen to his voice and not to God voice who is always say come unto Me and I will give you rest as you die out to me by giving me your all rather your asleep or awake. Is your image positive as your behavior and attitude is toward how God created you to be of goodwill and peace so your able to pray for your enemies to become more and more like Gods as you abide in Him and not your selfishness! Remember we can’t but God certainly can, for He created us to be doers of His will as we are empowered by the Spirit of God!
¹¹ Therefore ^[b]comfort each other and ^[c]edify one another, just as you also are doing. Lord that is the way Your created us all, so we can have peace and goodwill in our world without despising and hating one another as we are seeing to-day around the world. Just think when we are comforting others we are not discouraging but giving hope to the hopeless. Are we a comforting person or do we put people down by discouraging them in who they are or how they look.
 
Various Exhortations
¹² And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and ^[d]admonish you, ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. Thank the Lord for people that are in authority over us in the Home, Church and Government, that know the difference between what is right from what is wrong, so we can overcome lawlessness of Satan’s addictions of evil. Lord help us to pray for all who are in leadership so we can have peace with obeying the way, life and truth of Your word. Lord help me to be at peace with You and all Your created for our pleasure and goodwill.

¹⁴ Now we ^[e]exhort you, brethren, warn those who are ^[f]unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. ¹⁵ See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. Lord thank Your for warning us to make sure we stay on the way and not in the way of others coming to know Your love mercy and grace, so we can be justified in what we do. Lord help us to be known of people as we communicate with all we meet, it is the Lord who created all to be of good will so let’s be careful to not be unruly but obey the laws of man and of God that are there to keep us safe and sound. Notice we have the good and bad around us at all time and we need to encourage all to be good for goodness sake. Then we are all encourage to stay away from lusting for evils bad works that destroy people’s image of Godliness. Lord help us to always see it is You then Your creation that needs to rejoice and be glad in our salvation so we can be of encouragement to all we meet by sharing our hope in God’s love, mercy and grace.
¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. What a promise from God, so we can enabled to rejoice regardless of the lawlessness we see abounding to day. God has not changed He still loves His creation and just wants us to continue to pray for God mercy and grace that we can have faith and hope in God to answer our prayers. We have not for we do not Ask, Knock for God to open the door so He can come in. He does not force entry into our hearts we need to seek God as we pray to God for goodwill to have an image like Gods. Thank God He gave us His Son Jesus to live among us to show us the way, truth and life as He gave His all that we might be saved of all the addiction of evils way. It is not who we are and what we can do it is who God is and what He is able to do in us as His followers!
¹⁹ Do not quench the Spirit. ²⁰ Do not despise prophecies. ²¹ Test all things; hold fast what is good. ²² Abstain from every form of evil. Lord help us not to put the fire of the Holy Spirit out by discouraging people to prophecy in tongues and then interpret what they just said by the Spirit of God. This has been discouraged for our meeting of worship have gotten so big people can be heard, so they are asked to come and talk to the pastor to see if they do have a voice from God or it coming from self if it ok they can use the microphone. God seem to have to be regulated today so we do not see what 1 Corinthians 12 talks about in verses 7 to 11. ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: ⁸ for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by ^[a]the same Spirit, ¹⁰ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
 
Blessing and Admonition
²³ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify^[g] you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. Now let’s let God have His way as we become connected to His wonder working favor as He sanctifies us in the blood of His sacrifice when we repent of our sin with in our 5 spirits worship, reverence, have faith, hope in to hear our prayers, souls 5 characters of Conscience, imagination, reason, memory and affection and bodies 5 characters of eyes, ears, mouth, nose and feeling can all be cleansed as we give our wills over to the will of God not doing our thing, but what God has in His store house for us.
²⁵ Brethren, pray for us. Now this is Paul asking for brothers and sisters to pray for them. That is one of the reasons God gave us the Church so we can gather and be taught the Word and pray for one another to be healed of any diseases and of sins
²⁶ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. It is amazing the Jews still greet one another with a holy kiss, but today we give a hand shake to those we meet to show we like them and want God best for them. We used to call one another brothers and sister as way of showing affection. Lord help us to appreciate one another to where we are able to pray for one another including our enemies to become like the Lord.
²⁷ I charge you by the Lord that this ^[h]epistle be read to all the ^[i]holy brethren. Lord help us to accept the charge Paul gave to us all to read to one another the Bible to become more and more like the Lord!
²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Notice the grace of God be upon you for Grace is a gift God gives to those who have faith in God to forgive us of sin that would destroy our self image of needing God in everything we do to magnify His name not our name for we can’t but God can.
Let’s let God have His way so we, can be restored into the family of Gods all the time!
