Be Encouraged Today!

Praise the Lord, for His Word is TRUE! I just want to encourage you today to continue to trust God! He always hasten to perform His Word (Jeremiah 1:12). I know that some of you have been standing on God’s Word for a certain situation or thing for a long time, and you have probably begun to wonder if God sees you or if He hears you. You know I can find God in just about anything. I was watching a movie with my daughter called “Horton Hears a Who”, and at the end of the movie the Whos had to make themselves known/heard or they would be destroyed. Every Who began to make some noise; they began to cry out “We Are Here, We Are Here!” Some of us have been crying out to God “I am here, and I need your help!” If you belong to God, He hears you. He knows where you are in your life, and what you are going through. He is an on-time God! He might not come when and/or how you think He should, but He always comes, and delivers/answers you the absolute best way for you. At the very l...

As I wrote to you last week, there is a devil out there that is trying to destroy you. He doesn’t want you to win! He wants you to quit this race. He wants you to give up, be cast down and utterly destroyed. He comes in like a roaring lion seeking those he can devour (1 Peter 5:8). He can come in the form of a person or a situation. We, Christians, are destroyed by our lack of knowledge of God’s Word (Hosea 4:6). And the reason he’s able to come into our lives is because we are not reading (so we can learn), not doing (to build up our faith), and not speaking that which the Word of God says who we are, what we can do and what we can have. I want to talk about two (2) things in God’s Word that we are either not using or not using to the full (not saying or doing it every day). We might not know what the Word of God says or casually use the Word of God or we might not be fully persuaded that God can do it for us. Let’s look at our not being ignorant of the enemy’s devices and t...

Hello Brothers & Sisters...... I just want to give you a quick reminder that we do have an enemy out there that is trying everything to keep us from God. I am here to urge you to make time for God everyday!!! EVERYDAY!!! I know that I am not the only one that has have or is having to deal with every day distractions. Not that these distractions are "bad things", but enemy will use anything to draw away from God. These last couple of days I would start praying, and someone would need something to drink, have to potty, needing changing or something. Yes, I know that these things are "normal" when you have children, a family you have to take care of, but even for my family it has been an unusually high volume of "distractions". Before I pray, I get everyone what they need - drinks, food, snack etc. I do try to get up before the little ones get, but someone would always wake up or wake up with me. I would be finishing my confessions up when I put the kids ...

Well praise the Lord! Let me just remind you that we do not fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and wicked spirits in high places. I’m telling you, if you’re a threat to the kingdom of darkness - belonging to Christ Jesus, the devil hates you. He is throwing everything in his arsenal bag at us – using everyone and anyone. His job is to get our eyes off of God (His Word), and to get us to doubt God (His Word), and to give up. But no, no, no – we fight the good fight of faith, and we win. The devil is busy! He has been trying to get me “off”, but I refuse to let him win; I refuse to give up and cave in. Victory in Jesus name is mine. See the devil is trying to see if that “old girl” still lives here, but she has been crucified on the cross; I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. That “old girl” doesn’t live here no more. I’ve always heard that if the devil is not messing with you, then you need to check your relationship with Jesus. We all have our up and ...

If you don’t think God has a sense of humor, well check this out! One of my heart’s desires is to be more like Jesus. I thank God for working in me every day. Well sometimes towards the end of the week, I can get a little tired. Being a stay at home mom is a joy, but it is also hard work. It seemed like everyone wanted something and all at one time. I told the Lord ‘Am I everyone servant?’ All I heard was ‘Well, you ask that I help you to be more like Jesus, and He was servant of all.’ Ok, not what I wanted to hear. I literally laughed out loud! I don’t know why God thinks He’s so funny; I guess because He invented it! Smile! One thing I know, in order for me to be “servant of all”, I have got to walk in love. Now, I have come a very long way, but probably have twice as long to get where I should be, where we all should be, in Christ. One thing I never wanted to do was to work with the public (in any fashion). You really have to have the right attitude and a love for peopl...

Oh how happy I am when they say ‘Let us go to the House of the Lord’. I am so very thankful, so very grateful that I know Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I love the peace of knowing that no matter what goes on in my life – God can and will make a way of escape. He is more than able to see me through and to bring me through VICTORIOUSLY! Many are the affliction of the righteous, BUT GOD delivers us from them ALL! I appreciate the Father so much! We should tell Him and show Him more than we do. I am reading the Left Behind Series (authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins), and I just love these books. I just want to say “Thank You” to my wonderful husband who has bought me the second set of five books (6-10) for Mother’s Day. I have finished two (2) of the five already. I know I am late reading these books, and I’ve seen all the movies. And yes, I do understand that this series is a work of fiction, and that these are characters in the books, but I’ve taken this journey with ...

Hallelujah! Jesus is alive and is seated at the right hand of the Father! He ever lives to make intercession for us! Jesus is rooting for us to win, and win we can with Him as Lord and Savior! Well Praise God! Have you ever heard or seen something so simple, so easy that you think everybody should be able to understand it. I know some things we have to hear more than once to get them/understand them, but there are some things so simple that it’s really a “no brainer” or at least it should be. With my daughter, I’ve explained to her that she shouldn’t push her brother; don’t push your brother, and you won’t get into trouble with Mommy. Sounds simple enough! Now, yes I understand that she is ONLY three (3), but Angie’s is a very smart little girl. She understands that when she does this, pushing her brother, it doesn’t make Mommy very happy, and that she has done something wrong. I know she knows this is wrong, because as soon as she does it she apologizes and prays for her b...
