5 Steps to our Work Being Established!

(Posted January 3, 2007 in one of my other blogs)

Working hands

I've been thinking about the word "establish". So I checked out the meaning of the word and I discovered that there were 5 elements in something being established.

1) The Planning

2) The Preparation for the future event

3) The Presentation of the finished product

4) The Pleasure others enjoy

5) The Personal Satisfaction and SUCCESS!

It Depends onYour Aim

Posted on the CNN website in response to a story on the dramatic decline of Christian faith in the U.S.:

I don't know of one Christian believer who would deny that everyone has the "right" to believe whatever they want or in nothing at all. That right comes from the exercise of free will--God given power for each individual to make their own choice. Yet, rights always come with responsibilities. When you decide to believe in things that cannot give you eternal life in the presence of… Continue

KERFUFFLING

From My Perspective - - -

Some pithy statements from years ago were: “Look before you leap!”; and, “Think before you speak!” It seems that nowadays we find far too many who keep on speaking until they can think of something to say. The result is a growing confusion and considerable disorder. Perhaps we should conclude: “There’s a whole lot of kerfuffling going on! To kerfuffle is to be part of: “a disorderly outburst or tumult; a commotion.”

An example of this is based… Continue

Bleeding Hearts

I posted the following on a newspaper (Denver Post) message board in response to a post deriding "bleeding hearts."

"Oh Lord, please let my heart bleed.

Please let my heart bleed for the cold, the hungry, the fearful.

Please Lord, let my heart bleed every minute of every day for those who are powerless, who are disadvantaged, and who are sick.

Please God, let my heart bleed for those who die by the hundreds, and thousands, and tens of thousands from… Continue

God's Beauty Seen in His Creative Ones!

(Posted January 2, 2007 in one of my other blogs.)

God's Beauty

As I've meditated on this prayer for the past day or so, my thoughts go particularly to God's creative people. I'm reminded that when He created the world, He made everything good and beautiful. There was nothing in the world that was not perfect. As Genesis says, "God saw all He had made and it was very good." (Gen 1:31a,… Continue

Establish the Work of our Hands!!

(Posted January 1, 2007, on another of my blogs)

First Prayer for 2007

"Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands." (Psalm 90:17, NKJ)

This is what I read this morning, and I felt I really needed it to make an impression on me, so I did this. It is also my prayer for you for the coming year. May you, firstly, know what the Lord would have you… Continue

Acceptance

Something the Lord is laying on my heart tonight is to reach out to others who may feel like they are being pushed aside ,maybe somebody in School , work or at home is not treating you the way you should be treated , your afraid and you feel abandon by others , you may be different in some way, you want someone to listen to you ,there feels like there is no where to turn and you want to be excepted by someone and have unconditional Love. Well… Continue

From "A Grief Observed" by CS Lewis

...'But it could also mean-'This had reached its proper perfection. This had become what it had in it to be. Therefore of course it would not be prolonged." As if God said, "Good; you have mastered that exercise. I am very pleased with it. And now you are ready to go onto the next."

Lyrics that I can relate to...

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today

Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips

Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.

That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord?

Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?

You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains

Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame

Cause I see the… Continue

My friend e-mailed this to me- this is by Joyce Meyer Please read

by Joyce Meyer

Does your happiness depend on everything in your life being just right? If you think you can't be happy until all your circumstances are right, you will never be happy. We all experience times in life when we feel down for various reasons, but we can't allow our circumstances to control our emotions. Satan seeks to fill our minds with negative thoughts and emotions that cause us to feel down. He is a discourager, and he pulls us down emotionally, spiritually, financially,… Continue

Do You Know How Much God Loves You?! =]

God's main desire for us is to be lover's of God and allow Him to love us. His love for us more than we can ever fathom. One of many demonstrations of this in the word was in Peter's life. Matthew 26 is where he stumbles and falters. Peter was still a lover of God. He did not believe in himself and was devastated. Jesus never misses a beat in our lives! Peter felt he was disqualified after such a stumbling. In John 21 Jesus goes after him. It is hard for us to grasp the fact of how much God… Continue

My mom is doing well!

For those of you who know my mom underwent hip replacement surgery today, I want to bring you up to date with her condition. The surgery went well, praise Jesus! The surgery took about two hours, and the epidural kept her numbed up pretty well for a good six hours. She began to feel some discomfort in her back and so received some pain medication. This is no doubt going to be a long night for her as she must lay still :) Tomorrow, the nurses will help her to move about, and Friday she comes… Continue

The blessing. Written and preached by Crefflo Dollar.

Contrary to what many people believe or have heard through traditional teaching, the blessing is not a material item such as a house or car. While these things are the results of the blessing, they are not the blessing itself. The blessing is an empowerment or enablement from God to help you get supernatural results in everything you do. Whether it is on your job, ministry, relationships or gifts that God has endowed you with, when the blessing is in operation, you can not fail! When you… Continue

"The Leading of the Spirit is a Mysterious Thing!"...

... That is what our pastor said on Sunday night!!

That's hit a cord with me, so I listened intently as he preached. He was really hitting the nail on the head. It seemed that everyone was saying the same thing that day.

On the one hand (I think I need octopus hands for this one!), I was having our discussion with a friend about knowing the Lord's leading. Then a bit later, I get challenged by my husband (just before I went to church), about the amount of time I spent on… Continue
