Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - A guardian angel !

Psalm 91:1-11, says,He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.This means sickness and disease will not come near your house, provided you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This passage goes on to say in verse 11: For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Everyone of us has a guardian angel. How awesome is that? That angels has been keeping you, from harm. Notice that verse 11 says you have angels, plural. Not only do you have angels, but the Bible says God will give His angels charge over you. This means He commissions them to mount guard over you. Heavenly Father, we thank you for our guardian angel. We thank you for your love for us. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Thankful for Everything !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Thankful for Everything !

The word of God says, Give God Thanks for everything! Is your heart thankful today for what God has done? Who started your day? Put a name on the line,____ started your day! The first principle is that God is the source of everything that is! We need to Thank Him, for all that He has done for us, for we have the victory in Christ Jesus. For we have done nothing on our own. Read Romans 7:22-25,For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. We have to learn to give God thanks everyday. The first word that should come out of your mouth in the morning is Thank You Lord. When we pray ,thank you Lord, when we complete anything, thank you, when we go through good times and bad times thank you, always giving Him Thanks! This is very difficult to hear, but before you start your prayer, is your mind and heart right? We need to ask the Lord to Create in us first a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Ask the Lord to have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy lovingkindness. God says, through Paul to be thankful in all things. Don't worry about people or tomorrow, God is in control, He knows everything. Read Psalm 100:4, Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Let us praise His Holy Name, forever and forever. When we look back over our lives we can truly say, we are a blessed people, we can see the hand of God working. There's so much to be Thankful For today. For one the saving grace of Jesus Christ at the cross, Without the shedding of the blood of Jesus, is no remission for sin, two the breath of life,God, formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, third the gift of the Holy Spirit, who leads us and guides us through life and into the truth. And the spirit and the Bride says, Come, whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. God has giving us the living water, and we are Thankful ! Heavenly Father, we come to your throne with thanksgiving in our hearts. We praise your Holy Name, we give you all the glory and honor for all you have done. As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like you Lord. Be thankful and give thanks, it says in Colossians 3:15, And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Endure to the end!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Endure to the end!

If we would partake of the Prize set before us, we must remember the words of Jesus: When Jesus said, in Matthew 24:13, But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. What do you think that means? The need for endurance in the believers life is crucial. Endurance is one of the things God requires of His children, a matter of fact, He demands it. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Whether we are aware or not, a continual warfare is taking place in the heavenlies. Endurance, by the very sense of the term, implies the necessity of opposition. Run your race that is set before you,"To him that overcome", understand that there must be obstacles to overcome, if we are to win the prize in Christ Jesus! Read Hebrews 12:1-3,Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.These things we must learn to lay aside and move forward. We must abide by the rules of the competition, In God's kingdom. Heavenly Father, we abide by your word. Help us Holy Spirit to have an impact in someone's life today by your word. We will stand on your word all the days of our lives. We seek to please you Lord. Jesus said in Proverbs 8:17, I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. We love you Lord and seek you daily. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Streams of living water!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Streams of living water!

Jesus spoke of living waters in two vivid passages of scripture. He first spoke of it while conversing with the woman at the well in Samaria. Read John 4:13-15, Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Here Jesus says, the living water he provides is eternal life. Jesus spoke again of living waters. The Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, in John 7:37-39, In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)Here the emphasis is on the living water becoming a source of life from within the one who drinks it. Living water is used throughout scripture to represent other things which give or promote life. But, as we shall see, living water means something completely different when we look ahead to the time of Christ’s return. God Himself is compared with a fountain of living waters. Read Jeremiah 2:13, For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.The Bible has a lot to say about "water" in it's natural state. In the natural we see water all around us, we drink it,and we wash in it. But with the living water from Jesus, we will be like a spring of water that won't run dry. Read Revelation 21:5-6,And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. We are told that those who endure and remain faithful until the end during the great tribulation will receive a very special privilege: They will serve God day and night before His throne, in His temple. We are told that their robes will be made white by being washed in the blood of the Lamb, meaning that they will be made righteous by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this living water, we are thirsty for you. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Power from within Us !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Power from within Us !

Read Ephesians 6:10-11,Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We cannot stand along, we need the power of the Holy Ghost from within us. The believers need to get some insight of who we are. We have been adopted by God and are now His children.The Bible tells us about the rewards in heaven that includes wealth forever, understand that we have been given an inheritance here on earth also! Read Psalm 23:1- 6,The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Read that again! The first verse says,The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.That means no lack in God's children, He will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.This verse is very powerful, when you understand that God has a plan for your life. You will learn to walk with the power that is within you, have no fear, God is with you. It also tells us that our cup is running over, that is more than enough. Understand Jesus didn't give His disciples small blessings, it was always more than enough. We need to learn how to pray for bigger and greater things from above. Do you know the name Jehovah Jireh? One of the names of our God is Jehovah Jireh, which means “the all-providing One”. He provides more than enough for His children. Do you know the power that dwells within you? All things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible by God for His plan. Let us be strong in the Lord and walk by faith. Heavenly Father, we seek more of you and less of ourselves. Now say Romans 15:13,Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Paid with a Price-the Blood!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Paid with a Price-the Blood!

Christ Has Paid Our Penalty, with His Blood. Read Romans 5:6-10, For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Christ went through much suffering for our sins. It is beyond our imagination what he endured. He paid the price for you and me at the cross! Crucifixion on a cross is the most cruel form of torture that has ever been devised by man, there is nothing worse. Lets look at the four characteristics of Redemption, Bondage,Redeemer, Ransom, and Freedom. Freedom is what we have in Christ Jesus. Read Galatians 5:1, Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. The price paid by the redeemer secures our freedom in Christ Jesus. Read Galatians 3:13-14, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Jesus Christ paid for our redemption by the shedding of His blood. Redemption is the act of buying something back, or paying a price to return something to your possession. Read Ephesians 1:7-9,In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself. Heavenly Father, we thank you for paying the ultimate price for us. For we were bought at a price, by your One and Only Son Jesus. Jesus thought we were worth the price. We thank you ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Relying on the Holy Ghost !

Good morning,

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Relying on the Holy Ghost !

Understand when you are a child of God, He will answer your cry. In one of those dark places in my life, I cried out to the Lord, help me understand? You must know that the Lord hears my cries and answers me, everytime. When my husband died nine years ago, I cried out why? The spirit of God spoke to me and said, Sheila, He belongs to me, He was ready, his work was done. I cried out forgive me Lord, this is your will ! The Bible tells us to be prepared for many things, including death, trials and tribulations , worship, judgment and the coming of the Lord. None of us know what is ahead for us in this life. We cannot wait until we face difficulties, troubles, tragedies, temptations, misunderstanding, sickness and even death to know our response. We must trust Him (Jesus) and His word. Who do you rely on for answers? Jesus tells the Disciples that the Holy Spirit will come and teach them what they will need to know. Read John 14:26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Jesus tells the Disciples that, instead of being with them, He would be in them. He also told them that the Holy Spirit would be both their Counselor and Instructor to take away all their doubts, He would lead them and guide them to truth. Who is leading you? Awake from sleeping, the time is now, the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Do not rely on your works or wealth and riches, rely on the Word of God. Read Titus 3:5-7, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Heavenly Father, thank you for Your One and Only Son Jesus. We were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to our flesh, we are know longer asleep, we are awake, seeking your face daily. We need more of you Lord and less of ourselves. The Holy Ghost is our helper,we rely on Him ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
