The Encouraging Word Behind You

'How is your life going?

You may be one decision away from a totally different life.

Tired of living in darkness? Making bad choices? Swimming upstream?

There is a right way and a wrong way to go in life. Are you taking too many short cuts? Are you making poor comparisons? Are you guilty of having too much optimism? If this is you, then don't give up. It's not too late. There is Hope and His name is Jesus. You can make a change in your life and the right decision that is a good one for you.

Many of us were also tired of doing things the hard way, by ourselves just wasn't working for us and so we decided to follow Jesus. We let go of the striving, thinking that we were in control and let God be our moral compass and eternal light source. One last thing, and it's incredible, He will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory.

'Truly, O people in Zion, inhabitants of Jerusalem, you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you.  Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ' Isaiah 30:19-21 (NRSV)

Dear Father

Thank you for Your promises that are True. Forgive me for my sins when I have failed You. You have taken such good care of me and supplied all of my needs. Thank you for Your Wisdom and for guiding me. You even sent me You Holy Spirit who lives inside of me and is such a great Comforter and Teacher. When I cry out to You, You always answer. That very Spirit is speaking to me even now. I know it's You Lord. I know it's True and I couldn't be happier. That still small voice and Word behind me is saying "This is the way" and I walk with You in it. Thank you for Your Word which I have learned to trust and to live by. Thank you for the confirmations that You always send, they are such a big encouragement to me. I love you Lord.

In Jesus' 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 ...

Mixing Oil and Water

 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

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 ...
