Be One of the Five

 ‘Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of love.  This is not the time to pull away and neglect meeting together, as some have formed the habit of doing, because we need each other! In fact, we should come together even more frequently, eager to encourage and urge each other onward as we anticipate that day dawning.'  Hebrews 10:24-25 (TPT)


 With everything that I've got I am to encourage them as they have done to me and to motivate them towards acts of love. Acts of love are a thing of beauty. We can add a thing of beauty to any situation that we find ourselves in. Beauty in style. Beauty in grace. Beauty is everything in the Lord. The Lord in us brings out the beauty around us. The Lord is Love. Stay in His presence.

 How can we get Him to manifest His presence more in our lives? That's the place where the power is. That's the place where His healing is. Your presence can bring healing too. As you smile and as you wait upon the Lord, and as you speak and as you love you encourage and you inspire. Your presence is powerful.

 Your presence was like a gift to me last night. Your gift of time and as you spoke and shared your thoughts and life you inspired me on. You bring life to me. Everyone is encouraged by your thoughtful and encouraging words. That encouraging word was like a little outburst of love, it came so suddenly and yet was so unexpected and oh so much appreciated. I could live on that one word of hope from you for the entire week. You are just that important to me. You add so much to our prayers and our small group. When you are not there, you are missed. You take an important active role when you are in one of the F-A-I-T-H chairs. It's such a small circle of friends. We love you. Be one of the five or we all miss a beat. The dance is not complete without you.

 So let's think of ways to be creative to encourage each other onward and come together even more frequently as we consider the day of dawning. Let's stir up the love for brother and sister for the Glory of the Lord.

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
