Encourage One Another

Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11

Jesus, the True Vine

Jesus, the True Vine
I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. John 15:1-3
Pray For Lost Souls
Deep in my conscious I am aware that I am helpless and only the Holy spirt can penetrate the heart and minds of those who are without Christ.All I do is sow seed.It's God-and only God-who can make the seed bare fruit.I stress to you that prayer is a indespensable element in preparation to go out and do God's work (will).And I seek to organize as many people as I can together in prayer-praying for the lost.Prayer is the mightiest force in the world.

Prayer Warrior

I fall to my knees and pray to You Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from Your glorious, unlimited resources You will empower us with inner strength through Your Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in our hearts as we trust in him. Our roots will grow down into God’s love and keep us strong. And we will have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. We will experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then we will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:15-19

Psalm 135:5

For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. Psalm 95:3
I know the greatness of the LORD — that our Lord is greater than any other god. Psalm 135:5

God - Jesus - Us - Love

1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. 1 John 4:16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.

Be Still And Know

Do not forget this! Keep it in mind!
Remember this, you guilty ones.
Remember the things I have done in the past.
For I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish.
I will call a swift bird of prey from the east—
a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding.
I have said what I would do,
and I will do it.
Isaiah 46:8-1

 

Hold Me Jesus

You must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.
1 Peter 3:15-16

He Is God

Stand Still And Know That He Is God

Failure Is Not Your Portion

Read this when you feel your faith is wavering, your strength is failing, and you just can't go a step further, or hold on a moment longer.

Child Of God

If you have been oppressed or suffered, and never let go of God’s word. If you had great unhappiness, distress, and pain, but still held on tightly to the knowledge of our Lord, you are a true believer, a true Christian. If during trials and troubles you remain just what you were when things were easy, you know hope, and unwavering belief, for you are a child of God.

Smiles Are Contagious

Revelation 5:12-14

And they sang in a mighty chorus: Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered — to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang: Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever. And the four living beings said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb. Revelation 5:12-14

The Love Of God

So true is it that the Church loves Jesus, and claims Him as her beloved, that the apostle dares to defy the whole universe to separate her from the love of Christ, and declares that neither persecutions, distress, affliction, peril, or the sword have been able to do it. He joyously boasts, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” Charles Spurgeon

Absolute Truth

Absolute: conceived & exists independently, not in relation to other things, does not depend on anything else, beyond human control, and no mortal being can influence the absolute. Absolutely God, absolutely perfect in all He does. Absolutely trust Him, and let His absolute will be done in your life!

Do You Know Jesus?

Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love. 2 John 1:3

1 Peter 4:10-11

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
1 Peter 4:10-11

Jude 1:2

Psalm 25:5

Only God

I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. All glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:14-20

Grace

So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:21

Evil Strategy

Evil's greatest strategy is to trick us into forgetting that we are just the clay and God is the potter. Coming back from that fall is a very long road. The end result is knowing the absolute truth. The ONLY good in you, is the God in you!

1 Corinthians 1:30-31

God has united us with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. Therefore, as the Scriptures say, If you want to boast, boast only about the LORD.
1 Corinthians 1:30-31

Faith

James Chapter 1 is our instruction manual on faith - absolutely trusting God.
James 1:2-4 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Let Go And Let God

My message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:4-5
Let Go & Let God, trust Him absolutely, and see what He will do in your life!

Our God

My God, my Lord and King, my Savior, You are perfect. You are the Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient Creator and Ruler of the universe. You are the object of my worship, love, and devotion. Thank You for setting me in a place where I can hear You clearly. Move me out of the way, so You may be seen and speak through me, as Your will is done. Thank You for preparing me, as You propel me, into my purpose; to love, comfort, edify and encourage.

Exalt Jesus

God raised Jesus from the dead, and now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God’s right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today. For David himself never ascended into heaven, yet he said, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit in the place of honor at my right hand. Acts 2:32-34

Psalm 94:19

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 God Offers Comfort to All
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.

Psalm 100:2

Blessings, Prayers, Worship, and Praise are my weapons, my arsenal, my ultimate resources, for ALL situations! The more arduous the arrows, the more the praise turns to worship!!!

John 8:12

Jesus....

Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Created In His Image

As Jesus sees us daily conformed into His image, He rejoices in us. Like a sculptor with his chisel, chipping out a statue that lies hidden in a block of marble, the Lord smiles as He brings out our features with his graving tool, the Spirit, making us like Himself. He finds much delight in us.

Ephesians 1:7-11

God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
Ephesians 1:9-11

The Final Judgment

The Final Judgment -
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left.

Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me. Matthew 25:31-36

Enlightenment

Deception

For meditation: Respectability and being religious are among Satan’s most effective weapons to blind men and women to their true sinful condition and to their need of the Lord Jesus Christ as the only one who can save them 2 Corinthians 4:4. Is Satan successfully pulling the wool over your eyes? Charles Spurgeon Sermon no. 618 March 5, 1865

Narrow Door

Someone asked the Lord, will only a few be saved? He replied, Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, Lord, open the door for us! But he will reply, I don’t know you or where you come from. Luke 13:23-25

Love Is

1 Corinthians 13 Love Is the Greatest - If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing....Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

The Word

As we go from level to level the word grows with us. In this new season reading the word is an enlightening experience. Scripture I have read many times before seems to jump out with new emphasis! I love the word, so I'm loving it! John 1 Christ, the Eternal Word - In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. Amen, Hallelujah, Bless His Holy, Precious, Name Forever!!!

Philippians 2:1-11

Have the same mind Christ Jesus, who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied himself (kenosis), taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death -- even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:1-11)

Lion of Judah

It's in our Gethsemane moments we realize it's all about our relationship with Him. There is no one else you can always depend on. This is a one on one relationship based on absolute trust!

Perfect Love

All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. 1 John 4:15-18

Forgiveness

God, If we forgive those who sin against us, You will forgive us, but if we refuse to forgive them, You won't forgive us. Matthew 6:14-15

Chosen By God

We are a chosen people. We are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, we can show others the goodness of God, for he called us out of the darkness into his wonderful light. Once we had no identity as a people, but now we are God’s people, and we have received God’s mercy.

Trust Him

We are a chosen people. We are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, we can show others the goodness of God, for he called us out of the darkness into his wonderful light. Once we had no identity as a people, but now we are God’s people, and we have received God’s mercy.

Holy Holy Holy

Deuteronomy 14:2 You have been set apart as holy to the LORD your God, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure.

God's Part

Tell me why I fail to trust Jesus when He promised He'll make a way? Why do I fail the test, and cry, when He said I would be blessed? Though sometimes I get down I will trust Him, believe Him, and never doubt Him! Jesus came as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in Him will no longer remain in the dark.

The Blood Of Jesus

A Call to Persevere - And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. Hebrews 10:18-20

Trust God

I pray, standing on the truth of God's Word with wisdom, knowledge & understanding! Jesus, You have given me the keys to the Kingdom and whatsoever I bind on earth is bound in heaven, & whatsoever I loose on earth is loosed in heaven. Let my will be bound to Your will Father, as I am constantly aware of Your purpose for my life. I decree that I stay bound to Your truths God, & I will not be deceived by the many subtle deceptions of the enemy. I am bound to Your blood Jesus, for miracle working power to restore, heal, protect and preserve in Your Holy Precious Name. Amen!
