What's your excuse?

I saw this today and thought it appropriate to share in case anyone feels discouraged or as if they have no part in God's plan, if you think that, then read this and think again!!

" Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossip, Mary was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old and Lazarus… Continue

Who Are You? Part 1

Identity Crisis or Identity in Christ

Many people suffer from an identity crisis. It's hard for many people, especially young people, to know who they are and what is their calling or purpose in life. If you were raised in an abusive situation, it's even harder.

One of the hardest things for some people is to make the adjustment from seeing God as Judge to seeing him as Father, Shepherd and loving Savior. Some…

BOUNCING BACK FROM CRITICISM : GOD'S WAY

When we have a heart of flesh,unhardened by the Spirit of God it can mean that we not only feel others pain but we are also open to personal wounds as well. Critism handled correctly the way God would have us handle it is very important in our Spiritual growth.

Proverbs 12:16-18

A wise person stays calm when insulted. An honest witness tells the truth;a false witness lies. Some people make cutting remarks,but the words of the wise bring healing.

If you are… Continue

I asked the other day," what do we think God see's when He looks at us?" I should have clearified. " When we look in a mirror what do we see?" Now look again and if you could use the Eyes of God, how different would it be?

Then to take it further, how do we see each other? And how different would that be, through the Eyes of Christ?

I can be critical at times, in how I see others, and mostly at myself.

Sometimes I use "rose colored" glasses. Not that I want to… Continue

What I feared the most...

What I feared the most came upon me!

I feared it so much, that the steps I took to avoid the fear, brought me to it.

My focus was on me and my ability.

Instead of trusting God, I allowed fear to have a louder voice.

I feared hunger so much that, I bought all the food I could.

I said to myself, “now I won’t starve.” Yet, I did not want it all up.

Soon though it spoiled. And what little did not expire, the fire consumed the rest.

I feared I would lose them, so I… Continue

The time is here …what if the time is now? Romans 13.11

This life is not all there is . . . one thing is sure—all of us will die. Folks say there are no guarantees, that one hundred percent of us is going to die, and not on our own terms. Paul wrote, “It is now time for you to wake up from your sleep, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”…

MOTHER'S QUIET TIME EXPERIENCE

MOTHER’S QUIET TIME EXPERIENCE!

When my mother was 70 years she had one breast removed due to cancer and the Specialist gave her two tablets to take for the rest of her life and she took them for some time.

One day during her quiet time with the Lord, He said to her, "May, are those two tablets keeping you alive?"

She answered, "No Lord, You give me breath each day."

Later in the day, when it was time to take tablets, she remembered…

2 Cor 4:7-9

2 Cor 4:7-9 GWT

7Our bodies are made of clay, yet we have the treasure of the Good News in them. This shows that the superior power of this treasure belongs to God and doesn't come from us.

We are able to show those around us. The benefit's of the power we have inside us.

We can remind ourselves of this truth, weak our bodies may be, but powerful is God.

8 In every way we're troubled, but we aren't crushed by our troubles. We're frustrated, but we don't give up. 9 We're… Continue

completion

Long ago I left my home,

Where I had spent my youth.

There had to be more out there,

I had to find the truth.

I stumbled over others,

Into many lives and out,

Never finding comfort,

Still so full fo doubt.

Searching for completion,

Wanting to feel whole.

I couldn't understand,

The emptiness in my soul.

I finally got down on my knees,

Cried out to God in prayer.

Asking…

The Language of Love.

Owe no man anything but to love one anot

her. Romans 13.8

‘But of course I love you . . .’ the mother said to her teen-aged daughter.

‘I’m sure you do, Mom, I just don’t feel it,’ she flipped her hair over her shoulder, and walked out of the room.

‘Wow…how could she not feel my love for her?’ the mother asked herself, troubled. Why, I have loved her since I knew I was carrying her in my womb! And the day I gave birth to her…well, it was the happiest day of…

HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN WE ARE BEING DECEIVED

Judges 16:6 So Delilah said to Samson,"please tell me what makes you so strong and what it would take to tie you up securely." We are often deceived when we want to believe what we know we should'nt. When our conscience tells us no and our desires tell us yes,we should listen to conscience.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true...

Acts 17:11 They searched the Scriptures day after day to check up on Paul and Silas...

They told me...

They told me because of my hair, and Bohemian ways, God would never talk through me. They were wrong.

They told me, I would never be effective, when I laid hands on another.

They were wrong.

When I thought I was more, than what I was. I was wrong.

God will not be limited. He won't fit in our thinking.

We must fit in His.

People will tell us what we can't do, we tell ourself even tell God,

But as in Mark 9:23

Jesus said to him, "As far…

Heavenly Father I come before you today asking you to first forgive our indifference and un concern for those in need of prayer and counseling. Some times we get so caught up in our own little world , that we can not see the need of others, maybe feel that we are so unqualified to help that we just say we will leave it in your hands..

Help us to remember that we are your hands and feet. Some time we are so busy preaching on the internet that we cannot hear your call to hurting humanity.… Continue
