My Lord, My God

Loving One Another
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God, and knows God. But anyone who does not love, does not know God, for God is love. i John 4:7-8 God loves us so much He gave His son to save us and bring us closer to Him. What an awesome God we serve!

The Music Of My Heart

Be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:18-20

James 5:16

James 5:16 says... Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

I Give You Grace

Ephesians 1:6-8

So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.

Pure Silver Refined By Fire

Malachi 3:3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.
This verse puzzled women at a Bible study. They wondered what this meant about the character and nature of God. One women offered to learn the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

She called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him work. She watched him hold a piece of silver over the fire, let it heat up, and explained it had to be held in the middle of the fire where the flames were the hottest to burn away all impurities.

The woman pictured God holding us in such a hot spot. He not only had to sit there holding the silver, but had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time. If he left it in the flames a moment too long it would be destroyed. She asked, How do you know when the silver is fully refined? He smiled as he said, when I can see my image in it!

If you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember God has His eye on you, and will keep watch until He sees His image in you! He will not leave you in the situation so long you will be destroyed by the fires of this world.

Victory In Jesus

No greater love than Jesus' love for us! Incomparable sacrifice of His life to bring us into right standing with our God! Only God could make evil rejoice over what would take away alll their power! But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven. Luke 10:20

Put God First

It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

God's Love

We cannot love, unless we love God first. We know nothing about love, spiritual love, unless we understand God's love for us. He loved us first, so, doesn't it stand to reason that we must love Him first, before we can truly love others. We, though, are going to love-- love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first. 1 John 4:19

You Are Special

Waiting On God

We believers groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) Romans 8:23-25

Bishop T.D. Jakes Testimony

Hope Is Born

People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:16-20
