WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SINKING, LOOK FOR GOD'S LOVING HAND.

When you find yourself in a trial that looks like it will destroy you, Praise God! as more of your control is broken and self is going to die. 

Like when Peter began to sink, yet God's loving hand was there to pull him up.

More of Jesus is being transformed in you. 

That's when God is leading to a place that will cause you to be more fruitful.

Acts 28:-8-10 (When Paul ended up  at the Island of Malta, when their ship broke up.)

In the region there was an estate of the leading citizen of the Island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for 3 days. And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery.

Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid hands on him and healed him.

So when this was done, the rest of those on the Island who had diseases also came and were healed. They also honored us in many ways; and  when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary.

Beloved, you see that what looked like they were sinking, turned out to be a fruitful ministry.

Another great example is when Paul and Silas were in prison, that was to reveal God's presence and His power.

Acts 16:16-17

Now it happened, as they went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. The girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation."

Beloved, God allowed this to go on for many days, as it drew people to hear the gospel.  

When you feel like you are cornered, and believe no good can come from this trial, just know that God has a plan. This is when God shows up and brings good from it.

God loves us and wants us to be strong.

Our world tries to silence us from sharing the love of Jesus. All they are doing is drawing attention to His gospel. 

The more the ungodly reject Jesus and His message, the more people become curious, and try to prove us wrong, because they have no peace in their life, this only leads them to research for themselves, and end up getting saved.

Ask the Lord to lead you to someone bound up and hurting, someone who needs the peace and joy we have.

It is alright when people speak against us. All they are doing is magnifying Jesus.

I met a lady at the store one day, as I shared Jesus with her, she said "I am a witch" "I said that's just your religion" Jesus still loves you.  She walked away frustrated. She will be saved one day and will have a great testimony.

God puts people in our path, that we are to share Jesus with. That's our place to shine bright.

We are to shine as lights in this dark world.

Proverbs 4:18 (Amplified bible)

But the path of the uncompromising just and righteous is like the light at dawn, that shines more and more-brighter and clearer- until it reaches its full strength and glory in the perfect(to be prepared) day. Matthew 5:14, Philippians 2:15  2Samual 23:4.

Beloved, we have good new for them, just like Paul.

When things change dramatically in our life, Praise God!! He has something better for you.

Grow in the grace that you have already been given.

2 Peter 3:18 

But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever.

Stay alert and watch for opportunities to share the life of Jesus, and grow in grace. Shine brighter and brighter.

God Bless your day

Jesus loves you

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

ARE WE USING THE AUTHORITY AND WEAPONS, JESUS HAS GIVEN TO US?

Beloved, sometimes we allow things to enter our life, that we need to use our spiritual authority and our weapons on to get free to do the works of the Lord. John 14:12-13 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that My Father may be glorified in the Son. When we are attacked,  We must start using the authority and the weapons that we have in the Lord. The enemy will try and trespass in our life if we become complacent, lazy, and neglect our faith. There are times when we are self satisfied and not on our guard, we become slothful. Pride can be behind those attitudes. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour, Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...
