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
