Be Free



'When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place.' Psalm 118:5 (NIV)

Stay free. The Chosen. Do not stay bound by the things of this world. Your sickness; your poverty; your tormentors may all be things that hold you down, push you back, keep you from reaching your God given destiny.

Your sickness. Didn't Christ endure the stripes so that you could be free from the pain and power that sickness has over you? By His stripes you are healed. Be free.

Your poverty. Didn't Christ come to save the oppressed? Aren't we promised the land of milk and honey? Do good, bless those that have less than you and He will bless you. Be free.

Your tormentors. Didn't Christ live the perfect life among men who tormented Him? He lived and died to save us and He showed us how to live among those that hate us. We are to pray for our enemies. We are to love those that take advantage of us. Jesus is our mediator and He will remove the rod and He will take us to the spacious place. Be free.

Every answer to my prayers are proof that He is on my side. I need not fear. I have no reason to fear what man can do to me. Only to believe that God is greater and that He is working to undo what the enemy has done. He is working to keep me free. When I do what I can and trust Him, He will accept and bless me.

I can be free. I can love myself. All I need is to cry out to Jesus. He sets me free from the burdens of my sin. I can do nothing without Him. With Him I can do all things. I am free.

I live to declare the works of the Lord. He is mighty and His Love endures. Forever! Be free!

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
