It's Simply Amazing What the Lord Will Do

 'I write this letter, knowing that you will do what I ask you and even more.' Philemon 1:21 (NCV)


 Love will often send a request for duty. We are free to answer that call and complete the task at hand. We are free to serve in Love.

From experience, I have met only but a few, who actually walk out their faith in Christ in Love, with a cheerful, obedient nature. I will do as You ask for the Lord, they say. I will do what You say Lord. And they do!

I will serve thee, Lord, with a grateful heart for You have saved me. Seeing that your will is my will gives the believer confidence to ask favors among fellow believers who are also full of Glory. For the Joy that is set before us, we wouldn't hesitate to do the right thing. We wouldn't hesitate to do even more than is asked of us if we knew that the request for duty was from the Lord. And we do!

 Dear Father.
Thank you for Your Word. Thank you for the passion within and the friendships without that You have placed around me to serve You and to build Your Kingdom. Those dependable brothers and sisters in the faith have been such an encouragement to me. They inspire me to do better with their faithful service and generous spirit and total willingness to serve You. They inspire me to be more like You. Seeing their loyal service builds up my own faith in You.

I know that You always do Great things Lord. I have full confidence in You. It's simply amazing what You will do with just a few sold out believers. Your Grace is amazing. And when what we do seems to go unnoticed, I know that You see it all and smile and approve. So we obediently labor together in Love, we ask and we pray and we do, and thank you that we are able to see much fruit in the Spirit, and the good works that we do, we do it all in Your Holy Name. To God be the Glory! Great things You have done.
In Jesus's name.
Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
