Great Expectations

'We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God—those whom he has called according to his plan.' Romans 8:28 (GW) 


When it feels like everyone and even everything is working against me, I can read the words of Paul the Apostle and see that the opposite it true. I should not fear. I should not fear my past, for the one who loves God should also have no fear of the future. This I know, that the Word of God is true. God is Truth. We can know, I can know that all things, both good and evil work together for good. God has a plan for those whom He has called. He is working out His plan for good in each one of those whom He calls His own. He has called me. I am one of His own.

For those that He calls His own are children of the most High God. We can know, I can know that I must endure all things with patience. I must believe in the One that gave me The Book. I must not give in to mere images of the future that play out in my mind, but rather behold what God has done and is doing in my life and be amazed when the real thing is being played out right before my eyes and it is good. 

God is good.  There is no evil in Him. He is turning my life into something good. He is an awesome God. He is the God of Love. I can find real joy in loving Him. I can find peace in seeing Him and in knowing Him.  I can know Him and know that He loves me. He loves me and He has a plan. His plan of love is a good plan. All things are working according to His plan. He can turn around any situation. I can expect great things in my future.  He knows His plan. His plan is to prosper me and not to harm me. His plan is to give me hope and a future.

Dear Father.
Thank you for all that You have done for me. I am a child of God. I shall not fear. You have a plan. You have given me hope.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.

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
