The message for the beloved Children of God - Healing for the Soul !
Good afternoon
The message for the beloved Children of God - Healing for the Soul !
Do you need to be healed from something or someone from your past years or yesterday? The longer we live without healing, the longer the enemy can strangle our futures, hopes and dreams as well as destroy our ability to realize God’s abundant life in the present. Some people ignore the hurt and pretend there’s nothing wrong. When Jesus walked the Earth, he made the blind to see, lame to walk, rose people from the dead, He has the power to heal anything for us. But you have to believe and trust Him wholeheartedly. The Scriptures tells us clearly that it is God's will to heal His children. In Psalm 147:3, He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. God desires to heal our wounds and take our pain and hurt from us. Do you want to receive healing from emotional wounds, years of pain, sorrows, grief, and anguish? It is vital that we take hold of what Christ has done for us, and learn to cast our cares upon Him (Lord). Not some of them, but all of them; knowing that He cares for us. Jesus paid the price for the healing of our souls and to set us free from the bondage that we have come under from the bruises that we've received. Heavenly Father, we come before you asking for healing today. For it is written in Matthew 11:28-30,Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Sometimes the Lord wants to heal us, but we haven’t bothered to ask him and receive healing from Christ. Why, because your heart and spirit needs to line up with God's Word, the words ask, seek and knock. Look at Matthew 7:7-8,"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you". For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. A question for you today is,"Do I really want to be made whole"? So, in the bible there is this man who had this infirmity for 38 years. We don’t know how old he was; we just know he’s been paralyzed for 38 years. He’s there by the pool, hoping for a chance to be the first to get into the pool. He’s lying on his make-shift bed, waiting. Problem is, he doesn’t have anybody to help him, so his chances of getting there first are slim to nothing moving forward. Then Jesus comes, get this he knows all about this man's incurable disease. He knows that he's been there a long time in this same situation. Jesus simply asks, “Do you want to be made whole?” Really ! What kind of question is that for someone who's sick? Understand, if he didn’t want to be healed, he’d never have been there in the first place. Of course, I know Jesus knows that, but lets look at this man's faith. The question wasn’t so much for Jesus as it was for the man. It's the same for us today,"Do you really want to be made whole again "? In John 5:6-10,When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" "Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me."Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat." Jesus looked into the heart of a lame man and asked, “Do you want to get well?” The key note here is faith and grace, we don't live under the law, we have been saved by grace. It's in Ephesians 2:8-9,For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. How many of us have thanked Jesus for freeing us from the Law? For sin will not rule over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. Don't let sin keep ruling your lives turn away and trust God's Word. Perhaps his lameness became entwined with his identity. It is in the will of God for you to be healed. God wants you to be in good health just as your soul prospers. In 3 John 1:2, says, “Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” Heavenly Father, I cry out today for your healing power for your people. Abba, touch the heart of your beloved children today. We pray that You’d uplift our faith to see Your Power move in our lives. We ask that You have mercy upon us as we read this and pray in faith that it's done in Jesus Name. Now I command every power of darkness that is causing pain, sickness or disease to leave in the mighty Name of Jesus over your children! I command every spirit of darkness to leave from within your people in Jesus Name! Holy Spirit, we release your healing power to take over our minds, body and soul right now. Be healed. Be free. Right now in the Name of Jesus Christ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message - The Word Became Flesh !
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God,
The weekend message - The Word Became Flesh !
In John 1:1-13, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. To the beloved of God you have been sent also, like John to be a witness of the light. Children of God, we're on the battle field, the prince of darkness is seeking us. His devices are the methods and strategies that he uses to achieve his goals. His intentions are to steal, kill and destroy the human race, he's fighting very hard to stop people from hearing and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. There are weapons that the prince of darkness uses to destroy your mind and body. This war is real. We can either decide to fight or be defeated. Many people are not experiencing any warfare because they have been defeated by not speaking and trusting God's Word. In 2 Corinthians 10:3-6,For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. The devil has a ministry also, His 24/7 ministry is to steal, to kill, and to destroy day and night daily. So, this is why we have to put on the full armor of God daily. Look at Ephesians 6:10-12, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”The ministry of the devil is to war against the purposes of God in our lives. God has giving us away out, His Word we have to trust and speak God's Word. In James 4:7, Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. We still make mistakes sometimes, although God is a God of justice, He is also a God of mercy and grace.We still fall short, but you are not a sinner you're saved by grace! We have been saved by grace, thank you Lord. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins (past, present and future) accordance with the riches of God's grace. If you want to let the light of God expose the darkness, you need an attitude of humility. Are you willing to let the light of God reveal the darkness in you, be still and wait for God's timing. Sing the Lyrics of Travis Greene song: "Be Still" - We wait on You. Everybody's moving, Everyone is going somewhere, With everything they're trying, Just to make it, To a place where I am not there, But when the noise is over, A still voice you will hear, I hope that you believe me, When I tell ya, That I'll handle all of your cares, Just wait on me, Be still and know, that I am God, Be still and know, that I am God, Just trust and know, that I am God, And I'm in control, I am still; God...........Let us pray Heavenly Father, help us Lord! Like in Psalms 26:2, David prayed, "Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind." We cry out test our hearts and minds today. Reveal to us anything within us that's not like you. Abba forgive us for not sharing the Good News with others ( family, one another, friends, co-workers, nations, neighbors, governors, mayors and the world daily. For we love you Jesus, you are the One and Only True Living God. Amen !
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God,
The weekend message - The Word Became Flesh !
Scriptures to Meditate on this week :
1 John 3:1-3,See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
1 John 5:1-5,Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

The message for today- Faith and Fear !
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God
The message for today- Faith and Fear !
First question for today, did you thank God for waking you up today? Have you prayed or spoken to Him (Our Father) and asked Him to continually to transform your mind daily into the man or woman, He has called you to be? Our faith comes from relying on God and His faithfulness. You know the story of Jesus calming a storm right? Now this message is for the followers of Christ, Us! But get this in the storm Jesus was sleeping, now get understanding children of God, fear overcame the disciples, they woke him (Jesus) up...He says to them You Of Little Faith. It's in Matthew 8:23-27,Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him! But the next question, where is your faith in God? Are you living with faith or fear ? I have four brothers and four grandchildren, they always ask me why you're not afraid? First I told them, It's because,I hold God to His Promises (Word) for me, He cannot lie, and I'm never alone. God promised to never leave you or (me) nor forsake you or (me). Amen ! No one can do anything to me unless God has allow it, don't be foolish in your way of thinking okay? This means my focus is on God's Word and trusting that He will take care of me always. I'm not saying that people cannot harm or hurt me okay? What I'm saying, it's not my concern about what people might say or do to me since God is for me. This is faith walking and living daily, not on what you see and feel, but on what you know for yourself. This walk with God is a personal relationship for me with Him. So, how can we know His will and Word without studying it? Now, get this children of God regardless of our feelings, regardless of our situations, regardless of the falling world around us, God is still in control. Look at Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. If you are living your life according to the will of God, he promises throughout scripture to never leave you nor forsake you. Ask him what His will is for you and learn to follow it with boldness. For me if God doesn't answer my prayers, I stand still and wait on His answer and His timing. We may not always understand His ways, but we can rest in assurance that His ways are always good for us and always on time. Why do you worry? Instead of worrying, you should spend your time seeking God's plan. By praying and reading the Word of God (Bible) daily, you will be renewing your mind and thoughts. In Psalm 111:10 The only fear you should have is the fear of God. Who do you fear ? Come stay with me, we cannot walk around with faith and fear. Sometimes you have to pray and trust God's plan and His purpose. The word of God tells us that we walk by faith not by sight right ? Faith overcomes fear always. In Romans 10:17, Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. Speak over yourself Psalm 23:4-5,Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Thank you Lord, because sometimes, God will allow us to be in the presences of our enemies and it's okay trust Him. God always have a plan and purpose for us spiritual. Heavenly Father we cry out to you help us to grow in our faith walk daily. Let's us speak, Psalm 27:1-3,Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. Let us have more of your spirit of self discipline and trust of your word. Abba, we cannot overcome the things of the world without the power and authority (position) by your Word. Amen !

The message for today - Being Thankful !
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God
The message for today - Being Thankful !
I was talking with my best girlfriend this morning about her brother in the hospital, I said, April today is a day of being thankful for the breath of life. The breath of life is the created spirit that God gives all living creatures so they can live each day. Then, I said, that's the message for today. Get this, God tells us to give thanks and pray for everyone and our enemies this is pleasing to God. It's God's Will that we're still here today on earth, And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. So breath is life, and when life is breathed into the earthen vessel that is a human body, it comes alive. Wow, that's powerful and spiritual food for thought! In Matthew 5:44-45, But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.Now get this, believers and unbelievers, This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. In Colossians 3:15-17, Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 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. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Now, some people may need to read that again, we're called to peace and thankfulness. My question is how are you feeling today? The word of God tells us to give thanks everyday in all things. Come on people it's not about you, it's always about the True Living God that we serve, He Is Good and greatly to be praised ! Can you praise Him for starting your day? “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” The Good News today is God loves you and for that, you should be thankful. “Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Do you know the song, Lord I just want to thank you, Lord I just want to thank you. You've been so good.................Lord I thank you for the sunshine. I thank you for the rain. I thank you for the peace in knowing, my trials don't come this day. And I thank you that someday soon, I got heaven to gain. I just want to thank you Lord. You saved my soul. Thank You and Amen !Lord, I thank you for your One and Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. Lord, I thank you for your Living Word and Your Holy Spirit. Lord, I thank you for making ways . Lord, I'm so thankful for you always being with me and dwelling within me. Lord, I'm so grateful for another day. Lord, I'm so grateful for my family. Lord, I'm so grateful for my home,lights, water and food on my table. Lord, I'm so grateful for my friends always being there for me. Lord, I'm so grateful for you meeting all my needs and the needs for others. Lord, I'm so thankful for the opportunity to give or share with others. Lord, I am thankful for your grace and mercy, your love and salvation for your beloved children. Stay with me people are you thankful with the small things in your life ? In Luke 16:10,“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Therefore, the little things you have are there to prepare you for bigger things. The key is to trust God while possessing the little things and give thanks in everything. Let's think for a second, Lord you trust me with your Word right? Now, look at the way you show people God's Word in words and deeds ? Are you showing God's Love, unconditional love for others? Can you be thankful for anything and everything in your life that brings others joy, make them laugh, and make them smile? By definition, grateful is feeling or showing appreciation for something done or received. The definition of thankful is feeling pleased and relieved. So, both grateful and thankful are positive feelings. Amen ! In Philippians 4:6, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Heavenly Father, may we always have an attitude of gratitude and contentment! May we always have a song of praise on our lips! May we always reflect on things in life to be thankful for! Thank You Lord for your Love. Amen !

The message for today - Faith in your Prayers !
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God
The message for today - Faith in your Prayers !
Every day, we're getting “reports” from the news and people, but whose report will you believe today ? Speak this over yourself, Let God be true and every man a liar. Whose report shall you believe? I shall believe the report of the Lord. In the Old Testament, He says that His name is "JEHOVAH RAPHA" , or, "I am the LORD who heals you!" It's in Exodus 15:26, God says to the people of Israel, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.” Let us pray for one another daily, because we all need prayer in this world. All of us should be praying for each other and our goal in praying should be to live and pray in a way that would have the same kind of healing effects as Elijah had when he prayed for rain after a three-year drought. In James 5:10-16, Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple "Yes" or "No."Otherwise you will be condemned. Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. The key here is you must have faith to believe God's Word, that He is a healer. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is God ! It's in Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. God promises to respond, "the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up." Understand, if it's His (GOD'S) Will to heal a person again. Healing is considered one of the many attributes which were appropriated by the atonement of our suffering savior. Jesus not only purchased the salvation of our soul, but His sufferings also procured our physical healing. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. In Isaiah 53:4-5, Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Jesus Christ showed that He was the Great Physician who heals the sick. In Galilee, Jesus went from town to town, “healing every disease and sickness among the people.” Read Matthew 4:23, Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Are you sharing the Good News telling the people , that God is a healer ? I want you to catch the word of God and be healed today. "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead." Look at James 2:18-20,Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Heavenly Father let us seek you daily day and night. Let us have a higher aim in our prayers, seeking Your Will. Abba we're uncertain about tomorrow, but we know that you're in control of everything. What we are facing is not new to you Lord, let the spirit of peace and love overcome us today. Sustain us with faith and healing by your spirit. Please protect us from the evils of this world. Lord, please guide our paths and help us make the right decisions for Your Glory. Amen !

The message for today - " The Great Commission !"
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God
The message for today - " The Great Commission !"
Is this true or false, these words were given to every follower of Jesus, If I am His disciple, I am commanded to go and make disciples of others right? On the other hand, if I am not making disciples of others, then I am not being the disciple God called me to be, is this True or False ? The Great Commission refers to several passages in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus Christ urges his apostles to make “disciples of all the nations” and “baptize” them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Do you believe God's Word don't be afraid to share the "Good News. It's in Joshua 1:9,"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." This Mandate is to "make disciples of all nations" given by Christ to his disciples following his death and resurrection. In the book of Matthew 28:16-20, Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Now look at that again, Jesus told them to go and make disciples, we have to be moving forward sharing the "Good News" with others. Next question, are you doing your part in fulfilling the Great Commission Yes or No? The Great Commission is our Lord's command to take the gospel to every person throughout the world and to make disciples in all nations. It involves building and multiplying disciples in all nations so that they can, saturate their nations with the "Good News" too. So, He ( Jesus) called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must put aside your own pleasures and shoulder your cross, and follow me closely. If you insist on saving your life, you will lose it. Only those who throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live. And how does a man benefit if he gains the whole world and loses his soul in the process? For is anything worth more than his soul? And anyone who is ashamed of me and my message in these days of unbelief and sin, I, the Messiah, will be ashamed of him when I return in the glory of my Father, with the holy angels. The commission is not to wait for the world to come to us; it is to go into all of world and share the "Good News." Our responsibility is to preach and share the gospel; it's the Holy Spirit that makes us effective by God's Word. However, Jesus Christ also gave us everything necessary for success in Him. If we want to obey Him, He says, “Go,” and that is sufficient reason for going. The Great Commission is enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are to be Christ’s witnesses, fulfilling the Great Commission with our families, our kids, neighbors, governors, mayors, cities, anywhere else God sends us to the ends of the earth. Heavenly Father let us apply, Lamentations 3:40,Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord. Let us walk by faith not by sight daily. For there is no doubting in God's Word, the Gospel is the Living Word. Amen!
Scriptures to Meditate on this week :
1 John 3:1-3,See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
1 John 5:1-5,Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

The weekend message- We're blessed people !
Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God,
The weekend message- We're blessed people !
In James 1:12, Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.There are two things we must do in good times and hard times, first believe and second is trust God's Word. God has a plan and purpose in everything he has ordain this day. The mind and heart must both be engaged in this process because to have faith in God, we must believe and trust God wholeheartedly. Believing requires the mind, but to trust someone requires the heart. Let us not worry so much about today or tomorrow's problems. God will always be with us, that's His promise. We need to understand and see that God is almighty and that all things are in His hands. Only if we absolutely believe in God’s omnipotence we will rejoice in Him. Look at Matthew 6:33-34 “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”First things first, Jesus says. First of all, we have no power over tomorrow. Besides, we’ve got enough going on today to be concerned with without worrying about what happens tomorrow. Worry doesn’t fix today's or tomorrows problems. So, He commands us to seek the kingdom of God first, and naturally, that means seeking the King of that kingdom, Jesus Christ. But also seeking after His righteousness, which means obeying His commands. If we do that, God will add “all these things” for our today and tomorrow. Study James 4:13-15, Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” Pray to God, do all you can today, obey God always and then trust Him with the results. Heavenly Father, your word is forevermore. It's in Mark 13:31,Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Let's look at some of the lyrics of the song, "My God that's who you are"--You are, Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, Light in the darkness, My God, that is who You are, You are, Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, Light in the darkness, My God, that is who You are ! This is a powerful song children of God, speak over your day life. Understand Numbers 23:19, God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Christ said, "Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice." It is one thing to "hear," another to "learn," another to "come" to Christ Jesus! These three stages still further illumine the "drawing" of the Father, and the method which the Father has adopted of so giving men to Christ that he may ultimately fold them in his arms and press them to his heart. Lest, however, the hearers of Jesus, then or now, should conclude that the kind of direct teaching of which the prophets spake, and which he endorsed, was of that immediate kind which himself enjoyed, and which alone justifies his language. The key note for us is Romans 8:37-39, No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Heavenly Father, we thank you for loving us. Amen !
Scriptures to Meditate on this week :
John 14:27,Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Revelation 21:4, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
