THE BEAUTY OF SPRING TIME.

As we watch the trees turn green again, and watch the birds looking for a place to nest, we are reminded of the beauty in life that God has provided for us.

Song of Solomon 2:11-12

For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.  The flowers appear on the earth;

The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in the land.

There is a time when all the plants look dead.

As the season changes, new life will appear.

Just like those old dead things in our life.  When we have allowed bitterness and discouragement to set in and take root.  BUT GOD!!

Those old dead things will be pruned away and beautiful new growth will take it's place.

The Holy Spirit will convict us of our righteousness in Jesus. This places hope back into our heart.

Nothing is hopeless when you are in Jesus Christ.

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.

Proverbs 23:18

For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off.

2Peter 3:15-16

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, and meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

God always gives us grace and time to release all the old dead things.  

Things that would have held us back. These must be pruned.

It will seem as though God is distant and silent in our times of winter. Everything looks cold and bear.

Beloved, God is always working behind the scenes, preparing our Springtime with all it's blessings and beauty.

He is working behind the scenes preparing new life. New relationships, and new wisdom, more fruit of the Spirit.

New growth in the Lord.  New vision to see God's plan to bring blessings into our life and unto those we will share Gods love with.

The Holy Spirit will show us ways to avoid stumbling blocks that are meant to delay or discourage us.

I am looking out of my living room window, how everything is coming to life. It is resurrection time.

Like with Jesus, they thought that He was dead, and He was for a season.  Little did they know that it was all part of God's plan. Resurrection day is coming!

The redemption of man was provided through Jesus dying on that cross, to give us new life.

Beloved, be expectant of God's good things that He will provide in this new season.

I am watching all my beautiful trees blowing in the wind.  

The Lord spoke to my heart, "Do you see how hard the wind is blowing?  Well that will cause the roots to go down deeper".

The stronger the storm winds in our life, the deeper our faith will be rooted and grounded.

God will use our storms to cause our roots to go down deeper. That will strengthen us in His love.

Ephesians 3:16-17

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Don't complain or murmur when you are in the stormy trials, because change is taking place.  Your faith is growing and you will see the goodness of God.

Be patient and you will see what He has planned for you.

James 1:2-4

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Beloved, that says it all.  It will take patience to trust and believe all that God has placed in your heart for your new season.

Celebrate our Lord Jesus, and always give Him first place in your life.

Have a blessed Easter.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

Thank You Lord for new opportunities today to serve You and others. May we always be reminded of the price You paid on Calvary. You loved us so much You sent Your son to die so we could live and walk in Freedom!!! May we remember as we go through the trials and testing of life may we remember the amazing grace that You have given us to walk through every raging storm and as the wind blows and the waves swell and rise up may we never forget that You are right here with us. Your word says You will never leave us nor forsake us. May our roots grow deeper in You and may all the pruning that needs to take place be done in Your timing and Your way. Thank You Lord for new seasons new beginnings. May our eyes be renewed to see Your hand and glory in ALL things. Let this be a season of refreshing refilling and renewing in the body of Christ like never before. Let us lay down the things that are holding us back to fulfill Your plan and Your purpose for not only our lives but for others. May we Your children rise up like never before and be that light in the darkness. We are a peculiar.people let us show that as we walk through these dark times. In Jesus name Amen!!!!❤️

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, ...
