Psalm 91:1-2

I Love You Mom

Mom, without you, there would be no me. Your love, your attention, your guidance, have made me who I am. Without you, I would be lost, wandering aimlessly, without direction or purpose. You showed me the way to serve, to accomplish, to persevere. Without you, there would be an empty space I could never fill, no matter how I tried. Instead, because of you, I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you, mom. I have always loved you, and I always will. By Joanna Fuchs

God's Plan and Purpose

Nothing matters more than knowing the purpose for your life. It is the only place you will experience fulfillment and success, because you were created with a unique combination of gifts and talents to fulfill your specific purpose.

I raised you up for My purpose, that I might show you My power, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth. The purposes of your heart are deep waters, but the insight I give you draws them out. I work through you to fulfill My good purpose. You can do all things. No purpose of Mine can be thwarted. My purpose will prevail. So run with purpose in every step.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!!
My daughter's pastor told her the other day, if you love the Lord, even if you have not yet been blessed with children, you mother someone!

Jesus Our Living Example

Because of the blood of Christ, we are bought and made free from the punishment of sin. And because of His blood, our sins are forgiven. His loving-favor to us is so rich. He was so willing to give all of this to us. He did this with wisdom and understanding. God told us the secret of what He wanted to do. It is this: In loving thought He planned long ago to sendChrist into the world. The plan was for Christ to gather us all together at the right time. If we are in heaven or still on earth, He will bring us together and will be head over all.

We were already chosen to be God’s own children by Christ. This was done just like His plan. We who were the first to put our trust in Christ should thank Him for His greatness. The truth is the Good News. When you heard the truth, you put your trust in Christ. Then God marked you by giving you His Holy Spirit as a promise. The Holy Spirit was given to us as a promise that we will receive everything God has for us. God’s Spirit will be with us until God finishes His work of making us complete. God does this to show His shining-greatness. Ephesians 1:7-14

Romans 8

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
God’s Everlasting Love
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Romans 8:29-32

God Alone

Jesus Lion of Fire

Each generation tells of your faithfulness to the next. Lord Jesus, we cancel and bring to nothing every Premature death as we declare that it shall not be our portion In the MIGHTY Name of Jesus. From this day and beyond, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of my LORD forever in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Hallelujah!! Ernest Nnamdi

Blessing, Glory, Wisdom, Honor, Power, Strength

Happy Mother's Day

Last Days

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit, even on my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy.
And I will cause wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth below - blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Acts 2:17-21

Mighty God

Psalm 50 A psalm of Asaph.
1 The Lord, the Mighty One, is God, and he has spoken;
he has summoned all humanity from where the sun rises to where it sets.
2 From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance.
3 Our God approaches, and he is not silent.
Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him.
4 He calls on the heavens above and earth below to witness the judgment of his people.
5 “Bring my faithful people to me - those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices.”
6 Then let the heavens proclaim his justice, for God himself will be the judge.

Know God, Know Love

To know God is to know Love! Many think giving all you are to God means giving up yourself. I pray you choose to find out what real love is! I pray you say yes to Him, so you can know the freedom of His love, that fills you up, makes you whole, gives you the happiness, peace, and contentment you have searched for all your life. You will finally feel complete.

Know God

Testify what God has done for you! Amen, tell YOUR truth! Tell folks how God brought you out of the mess, your so-called life. Tell it, tell about the day you fell to your knees and told God if this is all there is, I don't want it. The day you truly gave your life to Him. When you cried out "if only someone could love me the way I love. If only someone could care as much as I care."

Under God

Testify what God has done for you! Amen, tell YOUR truth! Tell folks how God brought you out of the mess, your so-called life. Tell it, tell about the day you fell to your knees and told God if this is all there is, I don't want it. The day you truly gave your life to Him. When you cried out "if only someone could love me the way I love. If only someone could care as much as I care."

God's Hands

Find God

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (I John 4:7-8)

God is love. You can't really know love, unless, and until, you really know God.
Love can’t be governed, explained, controlled, regulated, or legislated. It is something you know, but can’t exactly teach. Something you experience, but can’t contain. Love inhabits and transcends any categories. It is wild, unpredictable, prone to show up where and when it wants. Love defies expectations.

God Kept Me

God created me against all odds, keeps me through everything that comes against me, and brings me out of all situations with Glory. I am His and He is mine. His purpose for me is not yet complete!

Walking With God

We plant our seed of faith in our hearts. It grows into our potential. It is activated by our calling. It is nourished by our love, worship, praise, and dedication to our Lord and our God.

Bold As A Lion

Jesus is our Lord and we are His servants. God's light shines in our hearts for we know His glory, and as fragile clay jars we hold His great power. We are pressed by troubles, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; hunted down, but never abandoned; knocked down, but not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies share in Jesus' death, so He may be seen in us. We live in the face of death,which results in eternal life. We have faith to believe in God, and so speak. The more God’s grace reaches people thru us, the more thanksgiving and glory God receives. We never give up for though our bodies are dying, our spirits are renewed daily. Our present troubles won’t last long, but will produce glory that lasts forever.

Forgiveness

Forgive us Lord for all we do that is not according to Your will, and help us forgive all, for anything we hold against anyone in our hearts, so we may be totally free!
Matthew 6:14-15
If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

My notes from Sheryl Brady

My notes from Sheryl Brady Messages:

 We are adopted into the royal family. We are royalty. We have very deep roots to the Greats in the Bible.

 Our purpose is to impart our rich heritage to the next generation! We must live our lives for this purpose - to truly KNOW God, His mind, and His thoughts. To be strong and do exploits. We MUST know the author of the book!

 The names of we who are chosen and belong to God were written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life!
 
We made it through the seasons when it looked like our walk of faith would never pay off! The more faithful the more we struggle! AFTER we have done all we must STAND. Wait on the Lord! Hold On! Wait & see, He will deliver us out of it all! We can't quit, we have come too far, we are too close, to give up now! (As if we could. Our calling does not allow us to quit.)

 Keep your hope & faith strong - it is priceless! Be steadfast, unmovable, dare to believe God. ALL things are possible if we keep our confidence! The devil is NOT after our things - he is after our peace, hope & joy
 
Hold on to your faith. The reward from God for entering His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with joy, is much more than money can buy! Confidence! Great reward!

Patience, that after you have done God's will... You HAVE to HAVE patience, though You slay me confidence. I will not quit! NO thing will keep me from loving and trusting You, Patience.

You don't know what I've been through because I hungered and thirsted after God with all my heart. My anointed life was not free! I paid the price! I appreciate what I paid for! God's will! God's word! AFTER you have done what the word says to do. Every day, all day! THEN comes the breakthrough. You must do His will!

David got so mad they were mocking his God he ran into what everyone else was running away from. HE KNEW GOD! Confidence and patience that AFTER we have done God's will - THEN comes the promise! There are NO shortcuts! There is a price you have to pay for the reward! YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH, to get to the other side!

I Live For You

A Clean Heart

How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It's your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words. A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.

Matthew 12:34-37 ♥

More Of You

Be A Blessing

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:9

God Chose Us

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. Ephesians 1:9-10

Wisdom Is Better Than Rubies

The Benefits of Wisdom
My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands.
Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.
Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.
Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.
Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,
and you will gain knowledge of God.
For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.
Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair
You will find the right way to go.
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy.
Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
Proverbs 2:1-11

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

Jesus Coming On The Clouds

Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One? Jesus said, “I Am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven. Mark 14:61-62

Servant's Heart

The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:11-12

True Worshipers

But the time is coming - indeed it’s here now - when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. John 4:23

Giving Heart

God loves a person who gives cheerfully. God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.

God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 2 Corinthians 9: 8-11

A Call to Holy Living

A Call to Holy Living
So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, You must be holy because I am holy!

True Peace

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood, may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21
Always remember when you are hit with a blow that knocks the wind out of you, you are in the perfect position to worship and pour your heart out to the Lord!

We Are All One

He Is Risen

The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day. Luke 24:5-7

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14
