Read Your
Bible

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my
path.
Psalms 119:105

Life can get hectic at times. Things seem to
blend into one another and before you realize it, a month has gone by and you
have not spent time with the Lord.

The devil tries to get us sidetracked
with things that are not as important as communing with God. Why does he do
this? Because he knows that each time you pick up your Bible, you hold in your
hands the answer to divorce, racism, poverty, sorrow, rebellion, demonic
captivity and death.

He knows that if you understand what is written in
that book you will walk with power and dominion and put his demons to flight.

It is easier for him to block or bind up your blessings when you do not
know your Word, your rights or know God’s provisions for you. But when you know
what Christ provided for you …when you know what is contained in that life-giving
book …when you know and walk in it, the devil not only gets mad but he gets
scared.

Take time to read your Bible daily and turn the tables on your
adversary —put him to flight.

• 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Jesus said; “Come to Me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
( Matthew 11:28-30 *NKJV )

As you already know, it is hard to find any rest with so many
trials, tribulations, conflicts, and burdens in our lives today.
However when we follow Jesus, He will provide us with rest and
make our burdens lighter. For; The LORD upholds all who
fall, And raises up all who are bowed down.
( Psalms 145:14 )

So when you feel stressed: Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you; He will never let the righteous
fall. After all; God is our refuge and strength, A
very present help in trouble.
( Psalms 55:12 ) & ( Psalms 46:1 )

Also remember that; Blessed is the man who
perseveres under trial, because when he has stood
the test, he will receive the crown of life that God
has promised to those who love him.
( James 1:12 )

Therefore; Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God
of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles.
Amen. ( 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 )

have a Wonderful Week that is filled with
“Peace,” and SMILE for after all God Loves You!

And those who have reason to be thankful should continually sing praises to the Lord.James 5:13

Because we l have been saved by God’s only Son we must never lose hope in the priceless gifts of eternal love and eternal life.And,because we are so richly blessed,we must approach our Heavenly Father with reverence and thanksgiving.Sometimes,in our rush to get things done we simply don’t stop long enough to pause and thank our Creator for the countless blessings He has bestowed upon us.But when we slow down and express our gratitude to the one who made us we enrich our own lives and the lives of those around us.Thanksgiving should become a habit it should be a part of are daily routine God has blessed us beyond measure and we owe God everything including our prayers and praise.Let us praise God today and everyday and throughout eternity.Most of the verses written about praise in God’s Word were voiced by people faced with crushing heartaches injustice treachery,slander,and scores of other difficult situations. But we can Trust God because he is there all the time if we can just come to that point and beleave in Him most of us want’s to do it are self but we can’t. Trust God to day and everyday of your life hes waiting on you.God Bless

Refined by Fire
this is so true we need to have this kind of faith.
If you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?
Daniel 3:15

“Open the furnace!” Nebuchadnezzar commanded. “Throw these troublemakers to their deaths for rebelling against my command. Let the world see what awaits any who refuse to bow to my honor!”

Then Nebuchadnezzar stood dumbstruck: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were walking around untouched by the flames inside the furnace—and they were with a fourth brilliant figure! In the end, Nebuchadnezzar proclaimed, “No other god can save in this way” (Daniel 3:29).

These faithful men of God could have chosen to bow before an idol to save their own skin, but they had faith in the only true God and knew the right thing to do. It may not be easy to fight for what you know is right, but God will reward you for standing up in His name and refusing to yield to evil.

In the end, even Nebuchadnezzar stood in awe of the power of God! Stand fast in your faith, for He will rescue you and use your faith to proclaim His power and love.

One night a man dreamed he was walking along the beach with Lord.

As scenes of his life flashed before him.he noticed that there were two sets of footprints in the sand

He also noticed at the saddest,lowest times there was but one set of footprints.

This bothered the man.

He ask the Lord ”Did You not promise that if I gave my heart to you that you would be with me

all the way? Then why is there but one set of footprints during my most troublesome times?

The Lord replied, ”My precious child,I Love you and I would never forsake you. During those

times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you

Zealous Servants

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7-8

Now that you have a Good Master, are you serving Him with zeal? When you fall down will you continue to get up? Paul is the most obvious example of someone who served God with zeal regardless of the trials he endured.

He says, “Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move” (2 Corinthians 11:24-26).

Even though Paul faced constant danger, he still praised God and remained faithful to the end of his life. The Bible says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

God is looking for passionate people. God is a passionate God—a God of furious love; a radical God; a God that sent His only Son on a mission to save broken-down sinners like you and me.

God gave everything for the chance to gain you. What are you willing to give to gain Him?

Endurance

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair… We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
2 Corinthians 4:8&10

The devil attacks at every point of perceived weakness, hoping to discourage us. He hopes that we will compromise, bend, yield, and stumble.

When God’s people grow, Satan cowers. Satan tried to sift Peter in order to curb his spiritual growth.

Jesus explained, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:31-32).

Satan still believes that his sifting will destroy God’s people even though time and time again our faith is refined by fire. When you resist the devil and his temptations, your faith will be even stronger than before.

When the heart of a devoted follower is committed in Christ, Satan has no power in that person’s life.

You already have the victory—keep going through the hard times, knowing that He will strengthen you.
