Goodbye Self Effort!

I'm done with my own self effort, in me is nothing  but a wounded person that needs to be touch by his righetousness. . Before we came to the Lord Jesus we were wounded people. AS the word of God says in Isaiah 1:5-

5Why do you insist on being battered?

Why do you continue to rebel?

Your head has a…

Campers with packs and tents

fade into the white-laden wilderness for several days stay

with unnoticed disturbances of crackling branches

falling from the snow’s weight

and distant rustling of night visitors wandering

among the firs and pines as

darkness makes the snow appear as soft coal

spread across the meandering landscape.

Silence soothes those settled warmly in their tents

listening to nature’s harmony – this peaceful…

"Therefore will the Lord wait that he may be gracious unto you."

Isaiah 30:18

God often delays in answering prayer. We have several instances of this in sacred Scripture. Jacob did not get the blessing from the angel until near the dawn of day--he had to…

“Ask, and it shall be given you.”

- Mat_7:7

We know of a place in England still existing, where a dole of bread is served to every passerby who chooses to ask for it. Whoever the traveller may be, he has but to knock at the door of St. Cross Hospital, and there is the dole of bread for him. Jesus Christ so loveth sinners that he has built a St. Cross Hospital, so that whenever a sinner is hungry, he has but…

The word for Heart in Hebrew is Lev, which means the mind. Therefore, the heart of

Jesus reveals the love, pain, and compassion He felt for mankind.

Warm and throbbing, the heart of Jesus filled Him with concern for the welfare of

mankind. This man of God, who walked the earth, bore a heart of profound love…

One of the secrets of successful living,

is recognizing Christ as your source.

For only His divine principles assure

that Life stays on the Kingdom’s course.

For happiness will never be found

in the possession of earthly things.

The deepest of joy resonates when…

it makes one’s heart sincerely sing.

A genuine relationship with Christ

inspires one’s spirit to mightily soar.

With Faith, we are more than conquerors;

nothing is better or…

Genuine spiritual values

bring us both light and joy,

when we belong to Christ -

as His faithful girls and boys.

This is possible when we lean

on the foundation of Scriptures.

For true Life can be found within

the Kingdom’s wisdom and virtues.

Exercising faith will be our key

for staying on our holy path.

Remember that the wages of sin,

can not escape Jehovah’s wrath.

We need to accept the gift of Grace

and be submerged…

The Body is composed of many parts

and it needs your gifting of talents;

open up your spirit and heart…

to provide God with holy service.

Don’t waste your earthly talents

with hardness of heart or disservice.

Find your identity in Christ!

Feed on the fullness of His Word

and enjoy His eternal Life!

Become part of Heaven’s story,

by allowing yourself to be…

Used for His Glory.

When Beverly, the leader of our bible study group, asked, ‘does God smile?’ I realized that I had

never considered this concept, but naturally, her question sparked my curiosity.

We know that God is a Spirit so how can He smile? We learned, also, from the Old Testament,

that He expressed the emotions of displeasure,…

Have you ever been through a dark time  in your faith walk. And when there was no light at all. Your mind is like a roller coaster, and your foot is slowly starting to slip away from the firm foundation of that solid rock.The night of darkness has such much of  stillness , you barely can hear the voice of God , or even feel his prescence . And all you hear is your own counsels and that evil dragon whispering  his lies in your ear. Your like where is the Comforter in all this.The dark night…

Twas the Night before Jesus came

Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house

Not a creature was praying, not one in the house

Their bibles were lain on the shelf without care,

In hopes that Jesus would not come there.
