Titus 3: 1

"Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be ready for every good work."
~ (Titus 3: 1)

 

"Your job as a baseball player is to come to the park ready to play every day, and the manager, it's his job to make those decisions about who plays." ~ Cal Ripken Jr.

Come Close!

James 4:8a
"Come close to God, and He will come close to you."

"OUR UNDERSTANDING OF WHO GOD IS, WHAT HE HAS DONE & WHY HE DID IT WILL GIVE US A GREATER APPRECIATION OF WHAT HE IS DOING!"

"GOD IS AMAZING!"
"GOD IS GOOD!"
"GOD'S PLANS FOR US ARE PERFECT & PEACEABLE!"

"THEREFORE, WHEN WE PRAY WE CAN BE CONFIDENT!"
"KNOWING THAT HE WILL NEVER ANSWER OUR PRAYERS WITH STONES!"
"BUT WITH GOOD GIFTS!"
"BECAUSE HE IS NEAR TO US!"
"BECAUSE HE ONLY DESIRES THE BEST FOR US!"

"BUT WE MUST DRAW NEAR TO HIM!"
"HIS PRESENCE IS ONLY EXPERIENCED BY THOSE WHO DRAW CLOSE!"

Therefore, today I want to challenge everyone reading this to:
"GO DEEPER!"

"FOLLOW JESUS INTO ETERNITY!"

"BUT ALONG THE WAY, GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER!"
"AFTER ALL, HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!"
"JESUS IS WAITING TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU TODAY!"

"TO KNOW JESUS IS TO LOVE HIM!"

Jesus First!

Colossians 1:15-18
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything."

"JESUS COMES FIRST!!!"

Esther 3: 14

"A copy of the text, issued as law throughout every province, was distributed to all the peoples so that they might get ready for that day." ~ (Esther 3: 14)


 

We praise You God, for giving us Your Word. Amen.

1 Corinthians 3: 2 READY

"I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready." ~ (1 Corinthians 3: 2)

 

READY - 1. prepared for immediate use. 2. willingly disposed. 3. immediately available.  

Purpose!

1 John 3:7-10
"Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. THE SON OF GOD APPEARED FOR THIS PURPOSE, TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother."

The Bible can not be any clearer.

God created us for a purpose:
"TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM!"

God redeemed us with a purpose:
"THROUGH FAITH IN HIS SON, JESUS, WE ARE DECLARE RIGHTEOUS!"

God gave us purpose for a purpose:
"THROUGH ACTIVE OBEDIENCE, WE DISPLAY HIS TRANSFORMING POWER THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT!"

"GOD'S PURPOSE FOR US IS TO DECLARE THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION TO A WORLD FULL OF BAD NEWS CAUSED BY SIN!"

"YOUR INDIVIDUAL PURPOSE IS TO FULFILL YOUR SPECIFIC PURPOSE!"

God created you specifically for a certain age-group, community, environment, nationality, religious sect, etc.
"WE" are to carry this message of Salvation to the ends of the earth.
But "YOU" are to present this message of Salvation to your designated part of the earth.

Our theme is: "WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!"

"YOU DO YOUR PART & I WILL DO MINE!"
"TOGETHER, WE WILL TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!"

"WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING, IN ORDER TO ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION!"

"PURPOSE CLARIFIES THE ROUTE WE HAVE CHOSEN TO TRAVEL!"

NO ONE ELSE!

Acts 4:12
"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

"THIS THING IS SERIOUS!"

"WE MUST TAKE THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!"

"EVERYONE WILL EVENTUALLY MEET THEIR MAKER!"

"BUT THAT ENCOUNTER WILL EITHER BE A PLEASANT ONE OR A DEVASTATING ONE DEPENDING ON HOW THAT PERSON HAS INDIVIDUALLY HANDLED THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION!"

"SALVATION IS ONLY FOUND IN THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST!"

"THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE & HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED IT'S LIFE-GIVING POWER, DO WELL TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH THOSE AROUND THEM!"

There are many people breathing their last breath at this very moment!
There are many headed down a path that is dark & obscure!
There are many who will meet their MAKER soon!
Sadly, there are also many who are going into eternity UNPREPARED!

"OUR DUTY AS CHRISTIANS IS TO SURRENDER, DAILY, TO THE WILL OF GOD SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN USE OUR LIVE'S TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE OF SALVATION WITH A LOST, UNPREPARED, DYING WORLD!!!"

"THIS THING IS SERIOUS!"

"THEREFORE, WE MUST TAKE THE MESSAGE OF SALVATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!!!"

Luke 12: 35

"Be ready for service and have your lamps lit." ~ (Luke 12: 35)

 

Though we may be uncertain of the date and uncertain of the task, we can be certain of our readiness for whatever life may bring because Christ reigns within us. Praise God! Amen.

Song of Solomon 6: 11

"I came down to the walnut grove to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines were budding and the pomegranates blooming." ~ (Song of Solomon 6: 11)

Praise and thanks to our Savior, Jesus Christ! Lord, You came down from perfect paradise to what must've been like a valley to You, to redeem us, bless us, and lead us to everlasting peace. Glory to God, Most High! Amen.

I Love You, Jesus!

Psalm 27:4
"One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord
And to meditate in His temple."

"LORD, YOU ARE MY ONE THING!"

"MAKE THE LORD THE ONE THING YOU SEEK AFTER TODAY!"

"DON'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW!"

"TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME!"

"GIVE JESUS YOUR WHOLE HEART TODAY!"

Today, I invite you to love Jesus with me!
I Love You, Jesus!

HOLINESS!

1 Peter 1:16
For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because I am holy."

"LIVE HOLY!"
"DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT!"
"GOD DEMANDS HOLINESS FROM HIS PEOPLE!"

Psalm 84: 6

"As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a source of spring water, even the autumn rain will cover it with blessings." ~ (Psalm 84: 6)

 

Glory to God! Amen.

THE BIBLE!

Deuteronomy 5:1-3
"Moses summoned all Israel and said:
Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. THE LORD OUR GOD MADE A COVENANT WITH US AT HOREB. It was NOT WITH OUR ANCESTORS that the Lord made this covenant, BUT WITH US, with all of us WHO ARE ALIVE HERE TODAY."

"THE LORD OUR GOD MADE A COVENANT WITH US AT HOREB."
"NOT WITH OUR ANCESTORS..."
"BUT WITH US..."
"WHO ARE ALIVE HERE TODAY."

The Bible is not some folk tale that should be easily dismissed.
Nor is it a compilation of rules & stories intended to make us better people.
It is not a novel meant to be enjoyed for it's poetic beauty.
Most importantly;
"THE BIBLE IS NOT OUTDATED!!!"

"THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD!"
"GOD SPEAKING TO US TODAY THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS!"

"THE BIBLE IS RELEVANT TO OUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE!"
"NOT JUST FOR THOSE PEPLE IN THE PAST!"

"IT CAN SAVE OUR LIFE!"
"IT CAN CHANGE OUR LIFE!"
"BUT ONE THING IT CAN NOT DO IS FAIL BECAUSE WE IGNORE IT!"

God is the eternal "I AM", not the "I WAS" that many people make Him out to be!"
"GOD HAS MADE A COVENANT WITH US TODAY!"
"NOT JUST WITH THOSE IN THE PAST!"
"BUT WITH US!"
"WHO ARE ALIVE TODAY!!!"

Today, I would like to encourage you to:
"TAKE OWNERSHIP OF GOD'S WORD FOR YOUR LIFE!"
"LET GOD'S WORD SPEAK TO YOUR CURRENT SITUATION!"
"LET JESUS BE REVEALED TO YOU TODAY AS YOU OPEN UP YOUR HEART!"

Luke 3: 5

"Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low; the crooked will become straight, the rough ways smooth." ~ (Luke 3: 5)
 
 
 
"Two things define you; Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything." ~ Unknown

Born Again!

John 3:6
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

Question of the Day:
"WHO DO YOU BELONG TO?"

The Scriptures state that it is only through the Spirit that we can cry "Abba, Father!"
(Romans 8:15)

Therefore, although we were once brought into this world by earthly parents & through them inherited the curse of the first Adam. (Bondage to sin & its penalty, DEATH.)

Now, through the blessing of the second adam, (Jesus), we have been afforded the opportunity of rebirth & the inheritance of an Eternal Kingdom. (Freedom from sin & its benefit, LIFE.)

"TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH!" (First Adam)
"TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE & PEACE!" (Second adam, Jesus)
(Romans 8:6-8)

But in order to reach that latter state, we must die to the former!
Either the first Adam remains our covering & leads us on a revolt against God.
Or the second adam, Jesus, cleanses us through His Blood & makes terms of peace with God on our behalf ensuring a life in the Father's Eternal Presence!

"TODAY THE CHOICE IS YOURS!"
"LIVE FOR TEMPORARY PLEASURE OR SECURE ETERNAL LIFE!"

Question of the Day:
"WHO DO YOU BELONG TO?"

"LET US BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT!!!"

Psalm 23: 4

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." ~ (Psalm 23: 4)
 
 
Lord, sometimes when we're in the valley, it can be hard to see over the mountains. Forgive us when we forget that You're always there. Amen.

Tuesday, April 21, 2015

Job 39: 21 VALLEY

"He digs in the valley and rejoices in his strength; He charges into battle." ~ (Job 39: 21)
 
VALLEY - 1. an elongated depression of the earth's surface usually between ranges of hills or mountains. 2. a low point or condition.

All for Jesus!

Jeremiah 32:27
"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for Me?"

Many would like to think that God was promising a wonderful thing when He gave this message to Jeremiah.
But the fact is that He was actually predicting His people's exile due to their constant lack of reverence for His holy call over their live's.

"LET US LEARN FROM HISTORY!"

"GOD'S CALLING FOR OUR LIVE'S IS NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED!"

"LET US MAKE THE BEST OF THE LIFE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN!"

"ALL OR NOTHING FOR JESUS!!!"

Monday, April 20, 2015

Give Your Best Today!!!

Proverbs 27:1
"Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth."

"TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO GIVE YOUR BEST FOR JESUS!"

"THE LORD REQUIRES YOUR WHOLE HEART TODAY!"
Maybe you failed to give your "ALL" yesterday.
But today is a "NEW DAY" & His mercies are renewed!
Therefore, don't let today slip away!

"GIVE YOUR ALL FOR JESUS TODAY!!!"

As your day unfolds & opportunities present themselves,
"DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN!"
"GIVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!"
"LAY IT ALL DOWN FOR THE SAKE OF GOD'S KINGDOM!"

"TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO SHINE FOR JESUS!"

Remember that many will not make it past today!
Today may very well be their last day!
You may encounter one of those persons today!

"THEREFORE, DON'T LEAVE ANYONE TO CHANCE!"
"YOU MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE OF SALVATION FOR THAT SOUL!"

"TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO GIVE YOUR BEST FOR JESUS!"

"WHEN WE ENTER THOSE PEARLY GATES IN HEAVEN, IT WILL BECOME EVIDENT TO US THAT WHAT WE DID WAS WELL WORTH IT!"

"THIS WORLD NEEDS YOUR GIFT!"
"GIVE IT AWAY FOR JESUS, TODAY!!!"

2 Chronicles 20: 26

"On the fourth day they gathered in the Valley of Blessing, which got its name that day because the people praised and thanked the Lord there." ~ (2 Chronicles 20: 26)
 
 
 
Thank You Lord for blessing us in the valleys and at our lowest, for if we had to meet You at the mountaintop, not many of us would make it and it wouldn't mean as much if we did. Amen.

Saturday, April 18, 2015

1 John 2: 17

"And the world with it's lust is passing away, but the one who does God's will remains forever."
~ (1 John 2: 17)
 
 
 
This world has nothing to offer us Lord, and we won't compromise Your Way. We ask You to strengthen us in Christ to serve You in this world, but not be of it. Amen.

Faith!

Romans 12:3
"Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us."

"WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!"

"THE FAITH GIVEN TO YOU HAS A GREAT PURPOSE!"
"THEREFORE, PUT IT TO USE!"

"FAITH IS NOT A TROPHY, MEANT TO COLLECT DUST!"
"RATHER, IT IS THE MEANS BY WHICH WE JOIN HANDS WITH GOD & DECLARE TO THE WORLD THAT SALVATION IS FOUND IN NO OTHER NAME, BUT JESUS!!!"

2 Timothy 4: 3

"For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new."
~ (2 Timothy 4: 3)

A blessed Friday to you family. Amen.

Romans 1: 27

"In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in their own persons the due penalty of their error." ~ (Romans 1: 27)

"I believe that one reason why the church of God at this moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church." ~ Charles Spurgeon

Your Best!!!

Ephesians 5:16-17
"Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do."

It's not about what you GIVE, but what you GIVE!
Give your BEST to Jesus every day, all the time, every opportunity you get!
Make the BEST of your time here on earth!

"ALL GOR THE GLORY OF GOD!"

The Victory is Your's through Jesus Christ!!!

Psalm 46:10
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

I sense that someone is in need of this Word.

"CEASE!"

"CEASE STRIVING!"

"THE STORMS OF LIFE ARE NOT MEANT TO KNOCK US OUT THE BOAT!"
"THEY ONLY EXIST TO GET OUR ATTENTION!"

I would kindly like to remind you that;
"JESUS IS IN THE BOAT WITH YOU!"
"YOU WON'T SINK!"
"NO MATTER HOW TOUGH IT SEEMS!"

If anything;
"YOU WILL BE WALKING ON WATER, IF YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON HIM!!!"

"CEASE STRIVING & KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD!"
"THAT GOD SENT HIS SON TO SECURE YOUR ULTIMATE VICTORY!"

Therefore, when it seems as if you are fighting a losing battle, remind yourself;
"JESUS WON THE WAR!!!"
"THE ENEMY HAS ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED!"

2 Kings 23: 19

"Just as he had done at Bethel, Josiah removed all the shrines at the high places that the kings of Israel had built in the towns of Samaria and that had aroused the Lord's anger."
~ (2 Kings 23: 19)
 
Our land is full of shrines to sin, like planned parenthood, gentlemen's clubs, bars, and abortion clinics that no doubt arouse Your anger Lord. We pray for the owners of such establishments that they would one day come to know Jesus as Savior. Amen.

Application, not just proclamation!

1 Corinthians 9:27
"But I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified."

This spoke to me this morning,
I hope it does the same for you also!

"BEFORE WE PROCLAIM THE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE, WE SHOULD LIVE WITH THE MESSAGE OURSELVES!"

"LET US NOT SEEK TRUTH THAT IS ONLY INTENDED TO REACH OTHERS!"

"INSTEAD, LET US SEEK TRUTH WITH THE INTENT OF APPLICATION FOR OURSELVES!"

How sad it would be if we lived our live's proclaiming a truth that we did not believe!
Jesus, I pray that You would convict me in those areas of my life where I am not fully committed to:

"SEEKING TRUTH WITH THE INTENT OF APPLICATION!"

Forgive me for my inconsistency & help me appreciate Your Word more!

This spoke to me this morning,
I hope it does the same for you also!

Psalm 119: 3-4 COMPROMISE

"How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, who seek Him with all their heart. They also do not compromise with evil, walking only in His ways." ~ (Psalm 119: 3-4)
 
 
 
COMPROMISE - 1. a settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions. 2. a combination of qualities or elements of different things.

Saturday, April 11, 2015

Numbers 12: 13

"So Moses cried out to the Lord, 'God, please heal her!" ~ (Numbers 12: 13)

Jeremiah 29: 7

"Seek the welfare of the city I have deported you to. Pray to the Lord on its behalf, for when it has prosperity, you will prosper." ~ (Jeremiah 29: 7)

 

A new arena for the Bucks will be nice, but nothing is going to change the heart of Milwaukee like revival for Jesus, so we lift this city up to You, Father. Amen.

Study!!!

Proverbs 20:27
"The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly."

"AS WE STUDY OUR BIBLE, THE HOLY SPIRIT STUDIES US!"

Questions for personal thought;
Have you been studying your Bible?
Has there been new insight for your life as of today?
Are you genuinely seeking change?
Are you genuinely open to change?

"WISDOM IS FOUND BY THOSE WHO GENUINELY SEEK IT!"

"WISDOM IS BUT ONE VERSE AWAY!"

Jesus, The Great High Priest!!!

Hebrews 4:14-16
"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

"HOLD FAST!!!"
"CHANGE IS ON ITS WAY!!!"

"WE HAVE A GREAT HIGH PRIEST!!!"

"CLAIM THAT OVER YOUR SITUATION!"
"CLAIM THAT OVER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE!!!"

"CLAIM IT!!!"

Love through Expression!

PSALM 90:16-17
"Let Your work appear to Your servants and Your majesty to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; and confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands."

I want to begin by saying;
"I THANK GOD, THROUGH JESUS  CHRIST, FOR MY SALVATION!"
"HE FREED ME FROM A LIFE OF BONDAGE & DESPAIR!"
"HE REDEEMED ME & RESTORED ME!"

What once I had thought was a lonely & forsaken life has become full of friends & family that are more precious to me than words could ever express!

The many Birthday Wishes & the Love that flows through them are a prime example of just how blessed I am!

With this being said;
"I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE EVERYWHERE IN EVERY WAY FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES!"
"I PRAY THAT OUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER WOULD REFLECT CHRIST TO THE WORLD!"
"I PRAY THAT GOD WOULD WATCH OVER YOU & DIRECT YOUR STEPS UNTIL THE DAY JESUS RETURNS!"

"I LOVE YOU ALL!"
"I THANK GOD FOR YOU!"
"MAY GOD ENRICH YOUR LIVE'S WITH ALL WISDOM & SAVING KNOWLEDGE!"
"HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!!"

Acts 26: 29

"I wish before God,' replied Paul, 'that whether easily or with difficulty, not only you but all who listen to me today might become as I am - except for these chains." ~ (Acts 26: 29)
 
 
 
Father, we all have people in our lives that we pray for and people who need to have an encounter with You. We intercede for them to You now, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Saturday, April 4, 2015

Galatians 2: 21

"I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing." ~ (Galatians 2: 21)

Praise God that no religion, no deed or deeds, no human being could ever save us. Through the grace of God sending His One and only Son, Jesus Christ to give us a gift we don't deserve, we can call ourselves saved. Amen!

2 Corinthians 16: 23

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." ~ (2 Corinthians 16: 23)

Good Friday represents God giving up everything to give us everything. May your reflections and prayers bring you closer to Him today. Amen.

You are Chosen to Give Praise!!!

Matthew 28:18-20
"Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

My souls sings, my souls sings, my soul sings;
How I Love You, Lord!!!

Thank You, Jesus!!!
Thank You, Jesus!!!
Thank You, Jesus!!!

"GOD'S GOODNESS CAN NOT BE MEASURED!"

Friday, April 3, 2015

Thank You For the Cross!!!

Colossians 2:11-15
"When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature.* For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with Him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the cross."

"THANK GOD THAT DEATH COULD NOT CONTAIN OUR SAVIOR!"

"WE LIVE BECAUSE HE LIVES!"

"THANK YOU, JESUS!"

Thursday, April 2, 2015

The Right Place to Be!

Matthew 28:7
"Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, HE IS GOING AHEAD OF YOU into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."

"WHEN YOU ARRIVE, YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS WHERE YOU BELONG!"

"IF YOU CAN NOT FIND HIM THERE, IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!"

"YES, WE WALK BY FAITH, BUT WE DO NOT WALK BLINDLY!"

"FAITH OPENS OUR EYES TO A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION!"

"THE SPIRITUAL BECOMES A REALITY IN THE PHYSICAL!"

"THE ALREADY & THE NOT YET COLLIDE!"

"WE BEGIN TO OPERATE AT A GREATER CAPACITY BECAUSE OUR CAPACITIES ARE ENLARGED BY FAITH!"

"THEREFORE, GO & TELL THE WORLD ABOUT JESUS!"
"BECAUSE JESUS HAS ALREADY GONE AHEAD OF YOU TO PREPARE FOR YOUR ARRIVAL!"

"LET US DO ALL WE CAN TO HELP POPULATE GOD'S KINGDOM!"

Have a blessed day!

Be Set Free!!!

2 Chronicles 20:15
"He said, "Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don't be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God's."

Whoever you are, whatever you are going through, I pray God will strengthen & encourage you at this very moment!"

"QUIT FIGHTING THOSE BATTLES THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU!"

"LET GOD BE GOD!"

"JUST FOCUS ON BEING HIS SERVANT!"

"LET HIM DO THE REST!"

"YOUR TIME OF STRUGGLE WILL ONLY END WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THE BATTLE IS NOT YOUR'S!"

Today, be set free!
Let God set you free, in the name of Jesus!
Today, there is deliverance!
Let God set you free from those chains, in the name of Jesus!

You have struggled & fought your way through life & many times, prevailed!
But your present circumstances are overwhelming you!

I want you to know that we must be wise enough to pick our battles!
It is also ok to take refuge in God's covering when things get tough.

"TODAY I SPEAK FREEDOM OVER YOUR LIFE!"
"I BELIEVE THAT GOD WANTS TO SET YOU FREE FROM YOUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE!"
"I SPEAK PEACE OVER YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS!"

Romans 11: 6

"Now if it is by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace." ~ (Romans 11: 6)

                                     

Praise God that heaven isn't something we have to earn. Amen.
