SEEING THE BIG PICTURE FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE.

We only see our now situation,  but God sees it complete. 

We need to understand that its not over till its over.

Proverbs 15:3 

The eyes of the Lord are in every place,  Keeping watch on the evil and the good.


When you begin to question, what is going on?

remember you have the God who has it all in His hands. He sees the beginning and the ending.

Philippians 1:6

being confident of this very thing,  that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes when we exude impatience and insist on our own way,  we bring trouble on ourselves.

We push ourselves into something that God never intended for us, and then the spirit of unbelief comes knocking on our door.

Now we have become frustrated and anxious before we realize what has happened.

Proverbs 12:15

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,  but he who heeds counsel is wise.

Our stubbornness  is a sign that our flesh is in control.  When we become insistent about something and refuse counsel we are bringing trouble on ourselves.

God will allow us to come to the end of ourselves, then He will step in when He sees a humble and repentant heart.

Micah 6:8

He has shown you,  O man,  what is good;  And what does the Lord require of you,  but to do justly  to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Psalm 149:4

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;  He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Proverbs 11:2

When pride comes,  then comes shame;  But with the humble is wisdom.

When we are humble we are trusting God to handle things in our life. (This is active faith)

When we are stubborn and unbending we are taking matters into our own hands.

Beloved, sometimes we are our worst enemy!

Believing that we know better than anyone else.

Pride sneaks up on us.   We don't realize that we have given it an entrance.

When impatience , worry, anger, self regard, arrogance and self-importance are present they  All speak of pride.

Remember the devil pushes, but the Holy Spirit gently leads.

When you feel pushed into something,  back off,

Pray to the Lord. Get the mind of Christ before you make any decisions of moving forward.

Philippians 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing,  but in everything by prayer and supplication,  with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,  will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

I quote this scripture often.  A great reminder to focus on the peace of God, and being thankful.

We need to remind ourselves, not to be in a hurry and become anxious.

Sometimes God is trying to redirect us to something better.

Beloved, Jesus will help you through the Holy Spirit.  God wants you to be free of self-effort.

Remember that you are the righteousness in Christ Jesus our Lord.  We are a new creation.

So stop going backwards and depending on the flesh and the worlds way of doing things.

God has all your days and He is right there to bring a conclusion to all your worries.

Rest in the Lord,  take each day as it comes and don't worry about tomorrow.  We may not have a tomorrow, so enjoy what you have today.

Matthew 6:34

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,  for tomorrow will worry about its own things.  Sufficient  for the day is its own trouble.

The Greek word for worry, means to be double minded. 

Worry is concern, unrest, and a restlessness.

If you sense any of these are coming on you STOP!

Go to Jesus, tell Him you need some peace of mind.

Beloved, we have the mind of Christ, and His mind is not divided with worry.

See the big picture that God sees.  He sees you free in every area of your life.

Because of His great love for you, He will direct you to  have peace of mind.

Rest in His loving arms and be at peace with no worries.  Give it all to Jesus.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

As in All of this blessed Word, these are Words to live by. We must consistently remind ourselves of the great heritage Our Father has given us in Jesus Christ 🙏

This really spoke to me and comforted me,as I sometimes get caught up in anxiety to the point of not functioning at all, and many of you get into the same situation! This is not from God, as the beautiful Bible verses tell us. Thank you Lord sending the Holy Spirit as our Comforter.
And thank you Joy for sharing this gospel and wisdom🙏💛

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, ...
