BUILDING OUR FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD'S FAITHFUNESS.

It builds our faith when we remember how the Lord brought us through hard times. 

Times that we hadn't a clue, how we would get through them.

1 Corinthians  1:9

God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Timothy 2:13

If we are faithless, He remains faithful;  He cannot deny Himself.

We are to forget those things behind as Paul said, but we are not to forget the blessings that came after our trial.

Philippians 3:1

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do,  forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. 

As we move forward in our day that God has given to us, we are to take the time to remember God's faithfulness and thank Him.

We will encounter detours, and roadblocks, obstacles along the way, but God has gone before us to prepare our way.

Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

The children of Israel constructed memorials, to remind them of the Lord's faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed,  because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning. Great  is Your faithfulness.

I love the song, Great is thy faithfulness.

Those memorials are all through God's word.


Do you have a memorial to remind you of God's faithfulness?

Something that you can look at and be reminded

that God is always faithful?

I do.  

For me, my memorial is my mirror.  I can look in the mirror and see God's faithfulness.

I see that I am still here serving the Lord and teaching His children through the leading of the Holy Spirit.

David, encouraged himself in the Lord, we should do the same.

Every time we look into the mirror, declare God's word over yourself.  "I am the righteousness in Christ Jesus my Lord.

Jesus lives in me, and I have all I need in Him.

He is always faithful, because of His great love for us.

When you encounter trials that seem unsurmountable, remind yourself of all the times that God brought you through.

Psalm 36:5

Your mercy O Lord, is in the heavens,  Your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

Beloved, take time to remember the times you thought, you would never make it through the day, yet God in His mercy showed up just in time.

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, ...
