Endurance

Bible Endurance

Jude 1: 18 “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Lean on Him!

Matthew 5 : 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven

Because He Lives

Because he lives I am alive!

Dust in the Wind!

Bible Dust

Dear Heavenly Father, as this day continues to move forward thank you for reminding me that we are just dust. All of us were made from the dust of the earth where none is better than the other we all started as dirt and will return as dirt. No matter what is said or insinuated; they are no different than me because you were the only perfect human being. When I am persecuted, berated, criticized and condemned in your name Lord I understand that I must rejoice and will be glad because I know the reward that you have waiting for me in heaven. In Jesus Name Amen

Psalm 103: 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

The Witness

Acts 3:15 You killed the author life, but got raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

The Past?

Hand Reaching

Do things in your past haunt you? Do you have things that you want to work out?

  • He says Acts 3:19 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord

The Minds Eye!

inconceivable

Dear Heavenly Father, to fathom everything that you do for me on a daily basis blows my mind! To know that this life is such a small part of the gifts that you give me is an exciting journey that I welcome everyday thank you Lord for who you are and what you do. In Jesus Name Amen

1 Corinthians 2 9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” the things God has prepared for those who love him

It’s all about the love!

There is no love Truer
There is no love purer
There is no love Better!
His love trumps all love
His love is the original love
He is the love of your dreams
His is the love you need.
His love is your road map for every aspect of your life!

Bible Thumper


Are you a bible thumper
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have done for me and my family we are so grateful for everything that you do for us on a daily basis. When we have the opportunities throughout this day please give me the strength to share with others all of awesome things you have done in my life. In Jesus Name Amen

Colossians 3:16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Have you ever experienced something that was so good so overwhelmingly awesome that you just had to share it with everybody. In the business arena that is called marketing through “word of mouth,” when they do something for someone that is so worthy of the praise that people cannot help themselves but to tell everyone. When you get to know Jesus Christ it becomes just like that restaurant that you ate at it had the best food with service that was above and beyond, you cannot help but tell everyone. When you get great service or something happens that is so tremendous you know that it is hard not to go out and scream it from the roof tops. People like to use the phrase Bible Thumper as a offensive term. Bible thumper is someone who always shares the bible with others, so to put it quite firmly yes I am a Bible Thumper! Everything that God has done for me makes it impossible for me not to share, I want everyone to see and feel just what Jesus Christ can do for them! This word of mouth would be unbearable to keep in.

StOnEd

Could you throw it!
Could you throw it!

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to have a kind heart, one that understands that no one is perfect. There was only one who was perfect Lord and that was you, the only way for me to become more like you is to spend more time with you accepting your sacrifice. Help me to forgive those who have done me wrong accepting that they are human just like me who make mistakes,  help merecognize that we all have issues that we are working out. In Jesus Name Amen.

John 8: “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Guess the Psalm

Bible Psalm 5Do you know the Psalm

Burn

When I was innocent your love began to pour
It filled me with a hope of so much more
Then I found my flesh, life’s pain, an empty door
I lost a friend, lost my hope, gave in to my heart’s ache

But you are, you are, so much more than that
You are, you are, life that’s been renewed
My hope has come, from what love has done,
I will never be the same… compassion overcame

It started with a whisper and turned into a roar
A spark emerged to embers until my fire was born
My heart, my soul, your love, your hope
Filled inside my core, your grace opened so much more

Because you are, you are, so much more than that
You are, you are, a life that’s been renewed
My hope has come, from what love has done
I will never be the same… compassion overcame

When I was a little older my life began to sway
My heart was jaded, life had faded, hope began to boor
Through several stages, many ages, my face upon the floor
I lost my spark, lost my heart, gave fear an open door

Love had turned, life had burned, every bridge I ever built
But your grace finds me, It picked me up again
Your grace finds me, when all is said and done
Your hope has won, your grace like sun, your love has overcome

Because you are, you are so much more than that
You are, you are, a life that’s been renewed
My hope has come, from what love has done
I will never be the same… Compassion overcame

My life is done, your will be done
Your grace has overcome
My flesh will fight, but by your light
Compassion has been done

Because you are, you are so much more than that
You are, you are, a life that’s been renewed
My hope has come, from what love has done
I will never be the same… Compassion overcame
My hope has come, from what love has done
I will never be the same… Compassion overcame

And on that day when my strength is failing….

Let there be love!

He loves us

God is love! Ephesians 3:19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. God wants to know us on a personal level he yearns to be our friend John 15:15 “I have called you friends” When we become one of his friends we then fall under his protection Jeremiah 29:11-14 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord”. Through his love he sends you help through the holy spirit and his angels Hebrews 1 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? He loves us so much that he gave his only son so that we will be saved John 3 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned

Been there done that!

Bible tempted

I hear a lot say that the bible was wrote thousands of years ago how is it significant to the time we live in now. Fact is that we are human beings and our human nature never changes. Sure they did not have an iPad, the latest kindle, or the best smart phone but they still had to deal with being afraid, wondering how they would live, and what others thought of them. That has never changed we are humans, Jesus came to earth so he could be an example for us. He showed us that it is possible even when we think it is impossible. HE UNDERSTANDS! Hebrews 2 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Take his hand!

Bible his hand

Some of my best memories were when my parents were extending out thier hand to comfort me, letting me know it was alright. Our Father in heaven does the same thing for us. He tells us in the bible that is there to comfort us and not to be afraid!Isaiah 41 13 For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

Worry?

Bible trust him

Why worry about what is going to happen? Why be afraid? God is here for you and will take care of you. 1 Peter 5 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Come Closer!

Bible ephesians 2

 

When you feel like you are all alone and in the middle of no where and like no one is there. Always remember to call on the name of Jesus and He will offer you comfort. Ephisians 2 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

A message for all! Our #favorite

Bible take his hand

 

I see so many point fingers at others because they are not believers, we have been instructed not to judge the unsaved. Some Christians, not all, have issues because that person is “rougher” then they are and speak differently. Remember we are all different people coming from different backgrounds, if you share with someone in a manner that comes of as condemning and vitriol. You will give a perception that you think you are better then them or you are looking down on them, which in turn will make them not listen. Do you blame them? We are all sinners on the same level we all sin! We are not commanded to make all people happy, in fact it says in the bible that his message will upset some people. But that does not mean that we stand and point out everyone’s issues, Jesus is love, share in love and you will be surprised what happens! Jesus hung out with sinners and said many times that He did not come for the saved He came for sinners. That is why the profit Paul said this: 1 Corinthians 9 22  I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.

Why do you Question him?

Bible yes you can

God does not lie, He does not tell stories; the bible is not a book of fairy tales! Time and time again throughout the bible He pleads for everyone to come to Him and get to know Him. When He has said it so many times, why do you question how important you are to Him? Joel 2 32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved;

OPEN the Door!

Bible open the door

He is waiting for you to open the door He wants the invitation to come in! No matter who you are He is anticipating your welcome at the door!   Revelations 3 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. 21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear

One Little, Two LIttle…..

Bible hair

There is an old saying; I know that place, person, job or whatever you are talking about like the back of my hand. Did you know that God knows you so well that He knows even the hairs on your head. Matthew 10 30 Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. God is here for you and when you need anything who better to help you than someone who knows you better than you know yourself!

To open our eyes!

Bible knock knock

When I sat down and prayed this morning God gave me something profound to share. Many times Jesus said that He came for the sick not the healthy. So who are the sick? We all are! He wants to know all of us, He wants to help us be better people. He wants us all to come home and to be with Him in heaven, not just a few! We are all the same, “for all have sinned”, so knock on the door He will invite you in. Isaiah 42 6 “I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
