A heart that is overwhelmed with sorrow, will experience joy from the Lord for tomorrow.

We can all look back at times we were full of sorrow, yet as time passed God replaced that sorrow with His joy for our tomorrows.

Jesus said that He carried our grief's and sorrows. The word there for grief (sicknesses) He carried them for us on His back, the stripes that He took, and He carried all our diseases and sin on that cross.

When sorrow hits us, we can look back at the faithfulness of God, and say, it is well with my soul.

Psalm 61: 1-2
Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer.  From the end of the earth I will cry to You,  when my heart is overwhelmed, Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
(That Rock is Jesus)

Psalm 16:7-8
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;  My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.  I have set the Lord always before me; because He is my right hand I shall not be moved.

The night seasons are those times of dark sorrow. Jesus is there with us. He is the light in those dark times.

Psalm 77:10-14 (His anguish is in verses 2-9)
And I said, "This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High."  I will remember the works of the Lord,  surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 
I will meditate on all Your work, and talk of Your deeds.  Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary;  Who is so great a God as our God?  You are the God who does wonders;  You have declared Your strength among peoples.

It is so important to talk about the goodness of God,  as giving life to your words, will stop the enemy in His tracks.

No matter what our sorrow is caused from, Jesus is there with us, He will carry us through.
It is a good thing to look back and remember the blessings of the Lord, that will strengthen our faith.

Psalm 16:11
You will show me the path of life;  In Your presence is fullness of joy, At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

When your heart is sorrowful, get into the presence of God, Praise Him through your tears, I have done this many times, and I can tell you from experience, that God's presence and His love will overwhelm you.
He will wipe your tears away and remind you of His love for you and will replace the sorrow with His joy.

Beloved, you will get through today, and your tomorrow is waiting with light, joy, and the peace of God. Don't wallow in self-pity, get up and praise God, remind yourself that God loves you. Encourage yourself in the Lord as David did.

John 15:13
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
(Jesus did this for us, as well as our military soldiers gave their all for us)

Remember to pray for our military families.

God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
