Spiritual Blessings

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. Ephesians 1:1-4 

Love the Lord

Matthew 22:36-38 NLT “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

Meant To Be


Be Still And Know

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 NLT


Real Love

If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Romans 12:8-10 NLT

God's Love

These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Romans 13:9-11

New Strength


Don't Wait For Your Dreams. Fight For Them


Absolute Peace

Peace is mentioned over 400 times in the Bible. The Hebrew word for peace is Shalom, which means wholeness and health in every area of life. The Apostle Paul used this salutation in most of his letters: "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." I have never met anyone who claimed they had enough peace in their life. All of us want more peace but sadly enough, most are not willing to go to the Source of that peace. If you are not at peace, the fault lies squarely with you. No one has the power or authority to take away your peace. You have to give them that power. You have to give them that authority. Whether it is the difficult boss at work, an unexpected bill, health issues, or even a quarrel with the cashier at your local store, giving your peace away is YOUR choice.

How wonderful is the peace that grace gives us! You can lay your head down on your pillow every night, comfortable in the knowledge that you have peace with God, if you choose to. You cannot find it anywhere but at the cross! The world is trial and tribulation. In Jesus, is grace and peace. The choice is yours.

"Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory."

Peace is mentioned over 400 times in the Bible. The Hebrew word for peace is Shalom, which means wholeness and health in every area of life. The Apostle Paul used this salutation in most of his letters: "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." I have never met anyone who claimed they had enough peace in their life. All of us want more peace but sadly enough, most are not willing to go to the Source of peace.  Brothers and sisters, if you are not at peace in your life, the fault lies squarely with you. No one has the power or authority to take away your peace. You have to give them that power...you have to give them that authority. Whether it is the difficult boss at work, and unexpected bill, health issues, or even a quarrel with the cashier at your local retail store, giving your peace away is...quite frankly..,your choice.
Just look at the comfort being offered these verses:

John 16:33 "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

Matthew 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

How wonderful is the peace that grace gives us!  You can lay your head down on your pillow every night, comfortable in the knowledge that you have peace with God....if you choose to!  And you cannot find that anywhere except at the cross! In the world, there is trial and tribulation. In Jesus, there is grace and peace. The choice is yours.

Our God

I asked God.. "how do I get the best out of life?" God answered: "face your past without regret, handle your present with confidence, prepare for the future without fear.." Then He added: "keep the faith and drop the fear. Never believe your doubts and never doubt your beliefs. Life is wonderful if you know how to live." God knows.. God sees..

Expect a Miracle

Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. Hebrews 10:22-24 NLT

Awesome!

Some Interesting Comments

The effectiveness of  PRAYER doesn't depend on how many words you utter but how much WORD of GOD dwells in you and how much you dwell in the WORD of GOD. David picked up 5 shiny stones from the brook and he used only one to hit GOLIATH to death. How many stones have you picked up from the brook? How many stones do you have in your bag?  Only the Holy Spirit can show you the right stone to hit Goliath to death. He helps us in our weaknesses. Let Him lead your prayers. Pray in the Word and in the Spirit. Pray with the Word and with the Spirit.

Your gift is powerful enough to change the world around you. Dr. Ed Montgomery

Don't live weighted down, Who the son set free, is free indeed! Think about it then shout about it!
Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago

Come everyone who is thirsty.
Drink from a well that won't run dry.
Come taste a water that's living.
Drink and you will be satisfied.
Drink and you will be satisfied.

Pour your oil on us Jesus.
The Real Fred Hammond

God reveals His mysteries to His friends, He has handpicked you to be in an eternal relationship with Him. Will you respond to God’s love?

 It is the opposition in your life that clearly demonstrates God is working.

Take the limits off! Ignore the “lines” imposed on you by your experiences. Yes, the lines were drawn, but God has given you a new “sheet of paper”! You can reposition yourself to draw new lines in your life!
T.D. Jakes

BEYOND THE CROSS
When I was Lost, Grace Paid for my salvation and freedom.
Mercy fought for my attention and justification.
Love accepted and brought me in.
The Spirit and the Word re-birthed me.
The Word brought me wholeness and Glory through transformation.
The Spirit infilled and endowed me with Divine ability and Fullness.

Thank you Lord
John Luchembe

Be Encouraged

God is our redeemer, what you lost or what the enemy has stolen, if it is in God's plan, He will restore it. Maybe not with the same thing, but with something even better.....GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.....BE ENCOURAGED.....Ben Speller
