God Kept Me

God created me against all odds, keeps me through everything that comes against me, and brings me out of all situations with Glory. I am His and He is mine. His purpose for me is not yet complete!

Walking With God

We plant our seed of faith in our hearts. It grows into our potential. It is activated by our calling. It is nourished by our love, worship, praise, and dedication to our Lord and our God.

Bold As A Lion

Jesus is our Lord and we are His servants. God's light shines in our hearts for we know His glory, and as fragile clay jars we hold His great power. We are pressed by troubles, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; hunted down, but never abandoned; knocked down, but not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies share in Jesus' death, so He may be seen in us. We live in the face of death,which results in eternal life. We have faith to believe in God, and so speak. The more God’s grace reaches people thru us, the more thanksgiving and glory God receives. We never give up for though our bodies are dying, our spirits are renewed daily. Our present troubles won’t last long, but will produce glory that lasts forever.

Forgiveness

Forgive us Lord for all we do that is not according to Your will, and help us forgive all, for anything we hold against anyone in our hearts, so we may be totally free!
Matthew 6:14-15
If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

My notes from Sheryl Brady

My notes from Sheryl Brady Messages:

We are adopted into the royal family. We are royalty. We have very deep roots to the Greats in the Bible.

Our purpose is to impart our rich heritage to the next generation! We must live our lives for this purpose - to truly KNOW God, His mind, and His thoughts. To be strong and do exploits. We MUST know the author of the book!

The names of we who are chosen and belong to God were written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life!

We made it through the seasons when it looked like our walk of faith would never pay off! The more faithful the more we struggle! AFTER we have done all we must STAND. Wait on the Lord! Hold On! Wait & see, He will deliver us out of it all! We can't quit, we have come too far, we are too close, to give up now! (As if we could. Our calling does not allow us to quit.)

Keep your hope & faith strong - it is priceless! Be steadfast, unmovable, dare to believe God. ALL things are possible if we keep our confidence! The devil is NOT after our things - he is after our peace, hope & joy

Hold on to your faith. The reward from God for entering His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with joy, is much more than money can buy! Confidence! Great reward!

Patience, that after you have done God's will... You HAVE to HAVE patience, though You slay me confidence. I will not quit! NO thing will keep me from loving and trusting You, Patience.

You don't know what I've been through because I hungered and thirsted after God with all my heart. My anointed life was not free! I paid the price! I appreciate what I paid for! God's will! God's word! AFTER you have done what the word says to do. Every day, all day! THEN comes the breakthrough. You must do His will!

David got so mad they were mocking his God he ran into what everyone else was running away from. HE KNEW GOD! Confidence and patience that AFTER we have done God's will - THEN comes the promise! There are NO shortcuts! There is a price you have to pay for the reward! YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH, to get to the other side!

I Live For You

A Clean Heart

How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It's your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words. A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.
Matthew 12:34-37 ♥

Be A Blessing

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:9

God Chose Us

God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ - everything in heaven and on earth.
Ephesians 1:9-10

Wisdom Is Better Than Rubies

The Benefits of Wisdom
My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands.
Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.
Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.
Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.
Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,
and you will gain knowledge of God.
For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.
He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.
Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair
You will find the right way to go.
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy.
Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
Proverbs 2:1-11

My Lord, My God

Loving One Another
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God, and knows God. But anyone who does not love, does not know God, for God is love. i John 4:7-8 God loves us so much He gave His son to save us and bring us closer to Him. What an awesome God we serve!

Music Of My Heart

Be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:18-20

Pray For Each Other

James 5:16 says... Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

I Give You Grace

Ephesians 1:6-8
So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.

Silver Refined By The Fire

Malachi 3:3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.
This verse puzzled women at a Bible study. They wondered what this meant about the character and nature of God. One women offered to learn the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

She called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him work. She watched him hold a piece of silver over the fire, let it heat up, and explained it had to be held in the middle of the fire where the flames were the hottest to burn away all impurities.

The woman pictured God holding us in such a hot spot. He not only had to sit there holding the silver, but had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time. If he left it in the flames a moment too long it would be destroyed. She asked, How do you know when the silver is fully refined? He smiled as he said, when I can see my image in it!

If you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember God has His eye on you, and will keep watch until He sees His image in you! He will not leave you in the situation so long you will be destroyed by the fires of this world.

Victory In Jesus

No greater love than Jesus' love for us! Incomparable sacrifice of His life to bring us into right standing with our God! Only God could make evil rejoice over what would take away alll their power! But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven. Luke 10:20

Put God First

It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. Hebrews 11:6

God's Love

We cannot love, unless we love God first. We know nothing about love, spiritual love, unless we understand God's love for us. He loved us first, so, doesn't it stand to reason that we must love Him first, before we can truly love others. We, though, are going to love-- love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first. 1 John 4:19

You Are Special

Waiting On God

We believers groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) Romans 8:23-25

Bishop T.D. Jakes Testimony

Hope Is Born

People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:16-20

Jesus Coming On The Clouds

Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One? Jesus said, “I Am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven. Mark 14:61-62

Servant's Heart

The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:11-12

True Worshipers

But the time is coming - indeed it’s here now - when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. John 4:23

Giving Heart

 
God loves a person who gives cheerfully. God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.

God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 2 Corinthians 9: 8-11

A Call to Holy Living

A Call to Holy Living
So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, You must be holy because I am holy!

True Peace

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood, may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21
Always remember when you are hit with a blow that knocks the wind out of you, you are in the perfect position to worship and pour your heart out to the Lord!

We Are All One

He Is Risen

The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and that he would rise again on the third day. Luke 24:5-7

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

I Live For Him

My greatest pleasure is sharing my Lord & King! My greatest desire is to worship Him with all I am! My greatest joy is being in His presence! There is Nobody Greater, no one else could dare to compare! No Greater Love than He laid down His life for our salvation. No adequate words to describe His Magnificence! Hallelujah to our King Forever!!!!

Woman, Behold Thy Son

"When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home." John 19:26-27 When Jesus saw his mother! The pain which was on her face! The tears falling down from her water soaked eyes! The heart, the precious heart of his mother, who had held all the words of the angel Gabriel close to her heart, of how her first born, and miraculously conceived Son would reign and rule in Jerusalem, when Jesus looked down from the bloody cross and seen her soul tormented as if a sword had pierced her spirit, he could not help but to address her. Jesus had to pause from dying long enough to take care of this precious soul that raised him and loved him so with all of her heart. Standing next to Mary was the disciple that Jesus loved! All the other disciples were in hiding! All the other disciples abandon him! One even betrayed him while another denied him, and the rest fled from the danger of associating with him. All except this disciple. The one that Jesus loved. The one that would rest in his bosom as the fellowship of the saints would carry on. This disciple could not leave Jesus. There at the foot of the cross the beloved disciple watched as his Lord died a cruel and unusual death! Jesus saw him as well and knew that his mother that loved him so, and the disciple that he loved so much was a perfect match! They needed each other! They both together would remind each other of Himself! It was in these two that Jesus’ tenderness would be seen the most! He said "Woman, behold thy son!" This man has been a great disciple! This man has learned his lessons well! This man understands my character and my mind and he alone is worthy to care for you! This is your son! He is my replacement! What an astounding complement!

He looks over to the disciple that he loved the most and said, “Behold thy mother!” Jesus wanted his beloved disciple to know that the love and the care that he was so used to receiving from himself, the tenderness, the understanding, the patience, the kindness, that he enjoyed so much from him, his own mother was able to give him now! The loved that Jesus shared came from God through Mary, Jesus learned how to care, and how to have compassion and sympathy through his mother, and Jesus knew that his mother would be the perfect substitute for his love! Jesus took care of him! Jesus took care of them both! What a responsibility they had! Caring for each other for Jesus’ sake! In his stead! I wonder if Jesus could depend on any of us to take care of his mother? I wonder if Jesus would think your lifestyle was good enough for Mary! Who would be that beloved disciple that Jesus could say without any hesitation, Woman behold your son! Or behold your daughter! When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple that he loved broken hearted at the foot of the cross.‎

Christ Died For Us

Jesus, Remember Me

Ever wonder why there were two crosses next to Christ?..Why not six or ten?..Ever wonder why Jesus was in the center?..Could it be the two crosses on the hill symbolize one of God’s greatest gifts?..The gift of choice...The two criminals were convicted by the same system...Condemned to the same death...Equally close to the same Jesus...But one changed!..We’ve made some bad choices in life, haven’t we?..We all look back & we say, “If only I could make up for those bad choices."..We can!..When one thief on the cross prayed, Jesus loved him enough to save him...When the other mocked, Jesus loved him enough to let him... He allowed him the choice...He does the same for us! M.L...""Jesus, remember me when you enter Your Kingdom." He said, "I will. Today you will join Me in paradise." Luke 23:42...Let this be your choice, today

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

When Jesus took His last breath here on earth...the soldiers at the scene of the Cross were dividing up the spoils, as was their way. But this time, the pickings were slim. No money. Jesus had lost even the clothes on His back, exchanging them for some wood & nails. He had no home of His own. His only visible means of support had been His network of friends - but now they were mostly scattered orhidden. Alone. No last will, nothing to probate. He'd given over the care of His mother to someone else. He had no children -- no legacy, as this culture saw it. And now, He was being stripped even of life itself. Nothing left but a corpse, in a grave, the stony end. Nothing. And what of us, who live our lives in a world stuffed with stuff, putting our treasures in the retirement account of earthly life, some of us with families, some with friends. What of our life of blessings & curses? The end. Of the beginning. Because it all comes to the same stony end. And all that's left then is what had been there all along, hidden beneath all the stuff of life. A loving God who is with us & for us. Jesus who was left with nothing, who went into the tomb, but didn't stay there. Nothing became everything. And we can share in that everything now, while we are still alive, whatever we might have. Lord, You are at the end of everything. You are at each new beginning. You are in between, where we are now. You make something worthwhile out of nothing. Help us be part of the Kingdom for which You have set us apart. Amen.

God's Will

Thinking about where God has brought me from and all He has brought me through is awesome. Knowing He chose ME to fulfill His purpose and has ordained my every step, I bow down and praise Him with all that is within me & Bless His Holy Precious Name Forever!

Oh The Blood Of Jesus

The blood of Jesus was shed for us, it covers us, we are cleansed by the blood, it will never lose it's power, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because He shed His blood for us! We are the US in Jesus.

Practice God's Presence

Our power is in our connection to Jesus. Our purpose and destiny is connected to His hand. Our hands are joined with Him. All power is in His Hands!

I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life. Romans 1:16-17

Online With Love

My Savior, My King

Jesus shouted to the crowds, If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say. John 12:44-50

Jesus, the Way to the Father

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.

I Give Myself Away

I give myself away
So You can use me
Here I am
Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I'm longing to see
Your desires revealed in me
Take my heart
Take my life
As a living sacrifice
All my dreams all my plans
Lord I place them in your hands
My life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself
I give myself to you

Faith

Jesus shouted to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are trusting not only me, but also God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. John 12:44-45

God Is Love

All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 1 John 4:15-17
