There is something that really pisses Satan off when God blesses us….almost as much as it pisses him off when we cherish those blessings. I have recently been giving a blessing I am far from deserving and pray for the guidance, discernment, leadership, and humility to cherish her as a daughter of His. Another thing […]
I found this on Presidential Prayer Team The essence of prayer does not consist in asking God for something but in opening our hearts to God, in speaking with Him, and living with Him in perpetual communion. Prayer is continual abandonment to God. Prayer does not mean asking God for all kinds of things we […]
Matthew 5:1-12 The Beatitudes 1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying: 3Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5Blessed […]
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, […]
Possession of a gift is not an index to quality of faith. Rather, the gift is a challenge to faithful use. (from footnote for Rom. 12:6) What isn’t a gift in my life?
The Armor of God Eph. 6~ 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of […]
I will preface this entry by saying there is a little edge to it simply because I am writing this right after it happened and am still a little hot. but having said that… I had a great quite time this morning and even made breakfast for myself…I have a great hour or so of […]
Father, I know this is basic, but I need help in keeping my life in dedication to you. I need guidance to make decision that reflect and bear fruit which honors you. Let me see the world with spiritual eyes. Not only in illuminating your word but more importantly, let me see your hand at […]
Revelation 6:1-8 The Seals 1I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he […]
Psalm 32 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy […]
Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; […]
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything […]
