A DAY WITHOUT PRAISE AND WORSHIP OF OUR LORD JESUS, IS A DAY THAT IS WASTED.

 Learning to praise God through our hard times, makes it easy, when we encounter good times.

It takes knowing God to praise Him in the hard places in life. 

Knowing deep down in our heart that Jesus loves us. 

When we know Jesus, we will love to praise Him.

When we know the Lord personally, we know He will bring us through the hard times.

Psalms 71:6-8

By you I have been upheld from birth;  You are He who took me out of my mother's womb.

My Praise shall be continually of You.

I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge.  Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and Your glory all the day.

When we praise the Lord a supernatural power is released.

I experienced this years ago when my pastor sent me to a ladies house because she was hysterical, and they couldn't calm her down.

I asked the Lord, "What shall I do?

He said "have her read out loud Psalms 150"

So I had her read Psalm 150 all the way through.  

She calmed down and I could pray with her. After that she came to my house often and I shared much with her. 

I taught her the importance of knowing God's word and living it and speaking it.

Beloved, we have the privilege's of having God's word available to us.  Some in other countries do not.

Can we praise the Lord when we encounter things that throw us off balance? Absolutely, because we know God will bring good out of it.

Did you know God's word has a voice?

Psalm 103:20-22

Bless the Lord, you His angels.  who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

Bless the Lord, all you His hosts.  You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works, of all places of his dominion,

Bless the Lord, O my soul.

When we bless the Lord we are Praising Him.

The greatest Praise and worship that we can do is to obey God's word and live His word in the sinful world.

Revealing His love, and mercy and compassion.

When we live in God's kingdom, we have great expectancy of good. 

We have seen God's loving hand come in at the last moment. (This teaches us to have faith)

Beloved, Praise the Lord, sing to Him, like David did. Like Paul and Silas did. (acts 16)

Colossians 1:26-27

the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.  

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles: in which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Wow! How blessed we are, that God chose to reveal to us His mystery that was hidden for ages.

Beloved, Praise the Lord, give Him honor and glory and worship. From our heart.

Psalms 138:1-3

I will praise you with my whole heart;  Before the gods I will sing praises to You.  

I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name.

For Your lovingkindness and Your truth;  You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

In the day when I cried out, You answered me and made me bold, with strength in my soul.

Beloved, cry out to the Lord, He loves to hear from you.

Worship God, sing to Him and live out what He has asked of us in His word. That is true worship.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

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 have see

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

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 i
