Are you aware that there are treasures in every trial or disappointment, all you need to do is see with the Lord's heart.

Are you looking for treasures in your trials, or hurt or disappointments? Look for the good, it is right there.

 Don't be concerned with what has been removed from your life, or who has moved on.

 Rejoice, because you are being made stronger and a little bit more like Jesus.

 God separated Barnabas and Saul (Paul) after 8 long years together, but it was time for Paul to minister without Barnabas.  It was time for Silas.

 God used the dispute between Paul and Barnabas over Mark, to create two ministry teams. 

 Acts 15: 36-41
Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing."
Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark.
But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to work.

 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia strengthening the churches.

 Unfortunately there are painful divisions in the body of Christ, however look for the good through the pain.

 Some people are in our life for a season and some for a reason.

 God wants our undivided attention. Now that we have walked through the valley of death to our old self, Jesus can now pour more of Himself into us. 

 We must learn to trust God with everything. It is sometimes a challenge to see the good, but if we seek we will find it.

 We have to get out of the self mindset and get into the Spirit mindset.  We do have the mind of Christ.

 Beloved, had there not been the division of Paul and Barnabas, would Paul and Silas had reached the Philippian jailer and his whole household?
Just a thought.
It was Paul and Silas singing praises to Lord while in prison, that caused the earthquake. (Acts 16:25-34)

 Beloved, look for the good, and do not let your emotions run a muck when God changes things in your life. Jesus is Lord!!

 Roams 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.

 Think about that scripture and look for the good, it is there. (Isaiah 45:3)

 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...
