THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH.

DO YOU WANT TO LIVE A STRESS FREE LIFE?

 JESUS SAID HE GIVES US REST, SO WHY DO WE FEEL THE NEED TO STRUGGLE ABOUT ANYTHING.

 IF WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH THINGS THAT WON'T MATTER IF JESUS COMES TODAY, 

 DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND YOUR MIND AND BODY WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT, REST IN THE LORD.

 ALLOW THE JOY OF THE LORD TO FLOOD YOUR MIND. HELP OTHERS THAT NEED SUBSTANCE OF ANY KIND, BE IT FOOD, SHELTER OR AN  ENCOURAGING WORD.

 NEHEMIAH 8:10
THEN HE SAID TO THEM, "GO YOUR WAY, EAT THE FAT, DRINK THE SWEET, SEND PORTIONS TO THOSE FOR WHOM NOTHING IS PREPARED; FOR THIS DAY IS HOLY TO OUR LORD.
DO NOT SORROW, FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH.

 I THOUGHT THIS FIT THE COVID-19 SITUATION.
WE ARE TAKING FOOD TO OUR CHURCHES TO HELP THOSE OUT OF WORK, AND  WE SHOULD BE JOYFUL THAT WE CAN HELP. 

 1 PETER 4:12-13
BELOVED, DO NOT THINK IT STRANGE CONCERNING THE FIERY TRIAL WHICH IS TO TRY YOU, AS THOUGH SOME STRANGE THING HAPPENED TO YOU; 
BUT REJOICE TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU PARTAKE OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS, THAT WHEN HIS GLORY IS REVEALED, YOU MAY ALSO BE GLAD WITH EXCEEDING JOY.

 WHEN WE LEARN TO REJOICE IN THE HARD TIMES, IT WILL GIVE US PEACE, KNOWING THAT GOD HAS CONTROL OF EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE.

 OUR MIND WILL FIGHT US AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING TO BE JOYFUL ABOUT.  

 THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS BE JOYFUL. IT IS A CHOICE.

 ROMANS 8:6
FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH, BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE.

 ROMANS 15: 13
NOW MAY THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING THAT YOU MAY ABOUND IN HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

 BELOVED, WHEN WE REJOICE IN THE HARD TIMES, THINGS WILL SEEM LESS DISTURBING TO OUR SOUL. 
FEED ON GOD'S WORD AND ALLOW IT TO BATHE YOUR MIND WITH PEACE AND JOY.

 WHEN YOU ARE FEARFUL, THERE IS NO JOY.  LET THE JOY OF THE LORD BE YOUR STRENGTH.

 YOU ARE NOT IN THIS ALONE, JESUS IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

 REJOICE, OUR REDEMPTION FROM THIS WORLD IS DRAWING NEAR, 

 THAT SHOULD PLACE JOY IN YOUR HEART, FOR THOSE THAT KNOW JESUS AND LOVE AND SERVE HIM.

 IF YOU HAVE NEVER INVITED JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE AND RECEIVED FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR SINS, TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. 

 ASK JESUS TO TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE. HE LOVES YOU AND IS WATCHING OVER YOU.

 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...

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...

THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN FORGIVENESS, ENVY AND SIN IN THE HEALING OF OUR BODY.

MANY CHRISTIAN'S HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THEIR HEALING, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FORGIVE. OUR HEALING OF MIND AND BODY ARE DEEPLY CONNECTED, JESUS SAID SO. UNFORGIVENESS IS A SIN.  WE MISS THE MARK THAT GOD HAS SET, WHEN WE HOLD ONTO THAT SIN. BECAUSE IT ONLY HURTS US.  I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE.   MY BODY BROKE DOWN AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY,  "JOY, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FORGIVE YOU CANNOT BE HEALED IN YOUR BODY"  I  FORGAVE AND MY BODY WAS HEALED OF A DISEASE THAT THERE IS NO CURE FOR. IT ONLY CRIPPLES YOU. THIS IS PROVEN OUT IN GOD'S WORD. (John 5:1-15) Read the whole thing. The man healed by the pool.  John 5: 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, " See, you have been made well, Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." PROVERBS 14:30 A SOUND HEART IS LIFE TO THE BODY, BUT ENVY IS ROTTENNESS TO THE BONES. (ARTHRITIS)  All sickness is not from the devil, although he does magnify the symptoms....
