Follow Your Spirit
Many people seek a sympathetic ear and do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking even when they should be listening. But Christians who can no longer listen to one another will soon no longer be listening to God either; they will always be talking even in the presence of God.

Best Is Yet To Come
Daniel 10:10-14
Just then a hand touched me and lifted me, still trembling, to my hands and knees. And the man said to me, “Daniel, you are very precious to God, so listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up, for I have been se...
nt to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up, still trembling.
Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia. Now I am here to explain what will happen to your people in the future, for this vision concerns a time yet to come.”

God Helps Us
1 Corinthians 15:56-58 NLT
For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

I Can Only Imagine
MercyMe
I can only imagine What it will be like
When I walk By your side
I can only imagine What my eyes will see
When your face Is before me
I can only imagine When that day comes
And I find myself Standing in the Son
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

Believers Bible Study
The lady sitting next to me pulled out her electronic tablet and said she wanted to see who showed up to work and what they were doing. Her business was several hundred miles away. She explained that she had cameras throughout the business and key by key she took role and observed what people were doing, as she cruised from department to department. It was indeed a new kind of surveillance system, but it made me think of and older and more comprehensive one.
God sees every single thing we do. He even knows what we think! God is omniscient, a big word that means all-knowing. God sees the good things we do – those things please Him. He also sees the bad things we do – those things displease Him. God wants us to do the right things, like telling the truth, being helpful, using kind words, forgiving people who hurt us, and obeying authority. God sees us make right choices and is pleased when we follow Him instead of others who want us to do wrong.
On the other hand, each one of us has done wrong things that displease God. God has seen our sins and must punish us for them. In love, God sent Jesus to take the punishment for the sins of those who turn from their sin and trust Jesus.
Proverbs 15:3 tells us “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” He knows and sees all.
God has given us freedom of choice and is grieved when we sin against Him. He wants us to do right and most important of all, He wants us to accept His Son so that we may have eternal life with Him.
Yes, Jesus sees everything we do. It is useless lying to God or trying to hide from Him because He knows everything and He sees everything. He can see right inside your heart. As my pastor recently said, “Aren’t you glad others don’t know what Jesus knows about you?”
It is important to remember that Jesus loves you. He wants to spend time with you and for you to spend time with Him. That’s why He died on the cross and pay for our sins. We all do things we’re ashamed of at different times. But we can turn to Jesus and ask Him to forgive us and to help us not to do those things any more.

My God Is Awesome
Pastor Charles Jenkins and Fellowship Chicago
My God is Awesome. He can move mountains. Keep me in the valley. Hide me from the rain. My God is Awesome. Heals me when I’m broken. Strength where I’ve been weakened. And forever He will reign
My God is Awesome. Savior of the whole world. Giver of Salvation. By His stripes I am healed. Today I am forgiven. His grace is why I’m living. Praise His Holy name
He’s Mighty, He’s Holy, He’s Great, He's my Deliverer, My Provider, My Protector, and He can move mountains, Keep me in the valley, Hide me from the rain, Heals me when I’m broken, Strengthens where I’ve been weakened, and I Praise His Holy Name!

Take Me To The King
Hebrews 2:9-10
What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because He suffered death for us, He is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone. God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that He should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.
