When we have a grateful heart we will have a better start.

Changing our attitude to a heart filled with gratitude, will make all the difference in your day.
We need to praise God for all that comes into our life, yes even the things people may mean for evil, God will turn to good. (The story of Joseph)

Having a grateful heart that is filled with thanksgiving, will help you see things from the Lord's point of view.  It will clear your mind.

Taking your mind off of yourself, and onto the Lord Jesus. Walking in the Spirit.

When you read God's word, are you thanking Him for the wisdom He is showing you, something fresh and new?

Ephesians 5:20
Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

1Thessalonians 4:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

We may not see the reason for a thing until later on, but thank God anyway, it releases a peace that we know the Lord is in control of all that concerns His children.

I have had several appliances go out almost in the last few months. Each repair person, or store person that I talked to during these events, were divine appointments, because it gave me an opportunity to share Jesus and His love with them.

I prayed about each situation and asked God to send someone I could share Jesus with.  He did every time. Divine appointments. Keep your heart open for those divine appointments, they are all around us.

So don't get frustrated when something goes wrong, pray and look for the good God can bring from it.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

When something unexpected happens, praise God, thank Him for how He is going to bring good from it.
In our flesh we could get frustrated, but as soon as you start thanking God with a grateful heart, the flesh looses.  The Spirit wins.

Look for every opportunity in your day, to see God's hand in a situation that you would not have wanted. But God! He has a plan.

God does not waste any opportunity with His kids to reach a lost or hurting soul. Make yourself available to be used of God.

Beloved, keep a grateful heart, it will give you such peace. Allow the Holy Spirit to take over when something unexpected happens in your day. Look for the good that Jesus can bring from it.

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...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

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, ...
