The Peace That Surpasses All Understanding

'And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' Philippians 4:7 (NRSV)


 Only in His presence can we know God and feel the peace that flows through Him in times of trouble and from knowing that we are reconciled to Him. Knowing Jesus as Savior is such a feeling of comfort in times of anxiety that no mind can comprehend it or can scarcely explain it, but it can be felt through the spirit.  The favor of God on your life can also be seen. The hope of what lies ahead for the believer in heaven can be expressed.

 We know that the day will come when every thought, word and deed will be judged. We also know that we should take that into consideration while we live and still can. The level of joy that we feel today is in direct relationship to our level of self-control and our conduct. Believers are called to a mission and we are to live holy lives. So, that is why we must guard our hearts and keep them pure. That is why we must guard our minds and refrain from looking upon evil or even letting any thoughts that are not from You in. Remain pure. Stay at peace with God. Amen.

Dear Father.
Thank you for Your Word. Thank you that You hear me. Please forgive me for my sins. Thank you Holy Spirit for guarding me from so much of what the world sees and hears. Thank you for comforting me with Your peace and for hiding me under Your wings and for always saying to me 'It will be alright Debra'. Turn the world's furloughs into Your blessings. I love you for that.

Your Spirit is always gentle, sweet and kind. In You there is no fear, even when I am afraid. In You there is full wisdom and knowledge, even when things are falling apart around me. In You there is fullness of strength and power, even when I am weak. In You there is me. In me there is You. You are a jealous God. It's always about You. You are the Christ. You are the God who Saves. Please heal our land. You know me. You even know my name. Elohim, I need to know You more.
In Jesus's name.
Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' 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

Image
' 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

Image
' 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...
