I HAVE BEEN MEDITATING ON A ENCOUNTER OF A LAME MAN AND THE LORD. DURING THIS ENCOUNTER JESUS DECLARED TO THE LAME MAN "YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN" UPON HEARING THIS STATEMENT THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS OBJECTED AND SAID ONLY GOD CAN FORGIVE SINS WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? (PARAHRASED OF COURSE) JESUS RESPONDED WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO SAY TAKE UP YOUR BED AND WALK OR THAT YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN BUT THAT WE SHOULD KNOW THAT HE HAD POWER TO FORGIVE SINS. AS BELIEVERS HIS ABILITY TO FORGIVE OUR SINS IS WITOUT QUESTION.

THE RESULT WOULD BE THE SAME NO MATTER WHAT HE SAID TO THE LAME MAN. THE FACT WAS THAT THIS MAN HAD BECOME FREED FROM HIS SINS, AND BEING FREED FROM HIS SIN HE WAS NO LONGER BOUND TO THE BED OF A LAME MAN.

PAUL ADMONISHED THE GALATIANS TO STAND FAST IN THE LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HAS MADE US FREE.

AND YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE.

IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST HE IS A NEW CREATUE. OLD THINGS ARE PAST AWAY BEHOLD ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.

THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST TO THOSE WHO WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT AND NOT AFTER THE FLESH. FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST HAS MADE US FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN A DEATH.

THANK GOD WE ARE FREE. AS WE ABIDE IN HIS WORD THE FREEDOM THAT WE HAVE IN CHRIST IS ENLARGED IN US. WE UNDERGO THE TRANSFORMATION BY THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS THAT WE MIGHT KNOW THE WILL OF GOD.

GOD HAS MADE US FREE BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. THIS FREEDOM COVERS US SPIRIT , SOUL AND BODY. RECEIVE THIS FREEDOM FROM THE LORD AND ALLOW HIM TO BE GLORIFIED IN YOUR LIFE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY WITH THE GRACE OF THE LORD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER AND THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

IN HIM WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING.

TODAY WE ENDEAVOR TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, MOVE WITH PURPOSE AND EXIST IN THIS WORLD FOR A REASON. THE REALITY IS THAT WE CAN ONLY RECOGNIZE THE PURPOSE AND PURSUIT OF LIFE ON EARTH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

WE FACE A DAILY REALITY OF OUR INABILITY TO MEASURE UP TO THE STANDARDS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. ACCOMPLISHING THE STANDARDS SET BY THE WORLD IS A MUCH EASIER TASK. HOWEVER THE REWARDS WE RECEIVE BY STRIVING TO REACH THESE STANDARDS LEAVE US WANTING MORE. THE REASON IS SIMPLE WE ARE DESIGNED WITH A CRAVING TO TOUCH HEAVEN.

OUR HOPE IS FOUND ONLY IN HIM FOR HE IS CHRIST IN US THE HOPE OF GLORY.

I ENCOURAGE ALL TO LEARN TO REST IN THE ABILITY OF THE LORD. ACCOMPLISHING WHAT WE ARE CREATED FOR IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THE LORD. IN HIM WE FIND OUR PURPOSE, THE PLAN AND THE PURSUIT.

LIVE FOR THE LORD DAILY. READ HIS WORD, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. GOD HAS THE PLAN AND HE ALREADY KNOWS THE OUTCOME OF THE PURSUIT AND THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE LORD FOR ALL ETERNITY.

ALLOW HIM TO BLESS YOU ON THIS DAY. FOR TRULY IF THE LORD DELIGHTS IN US WE CAN SURELY TAKE THE LAND.

FOR THE GLORY OF THE KING

GOD'S BLESSING ON YOU ALL

THE LORD IS GREAT BUT SOMETIMES LIFE AIN'T GOOD. I HEARD THIS LYRIC IN A SONG CALLED "ANYWAY",(I CAN'T REMEMBER THE ARTIST THAT SINGS THE SONG- SORRY) I AM SO THANKFUL THAT NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES COME YOUR WAY IN THIS LIFE GOD IS FOREVER THE SAME. RECENTLY MY FAMILY AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME RAIN IN OUR LIFE. I KNOW, I KNOW IT RAINS ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST. OH HOW I AM THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE A STRONG TOWER TO RUN INTO FOR THE NECESSARY COVERING AND STRENGTH IN OUR TIMES OF WEAKNESS. IF IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL IS WRONG IT IS NOT. WHERE THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IS THERE IS FULLNESS OF JOY. IT IS IN THESE MOMENTS THAT WE MUST ALLOW HIM TO HOLD ON TO US SO THAT WE MIGHT COME FORTH AS PURE GOLD.

THE TRUTH IS THE RAIN MUST FALL IF WE ARE TO EXPECT OUR HARVEST TO BE PLENTIFUL. WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT CAUSES US TO BE SUBJECT TO DARKNESS GLORY TO GOD THE LIGHT SHINES IN DARKNESS AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT. GLORY TO GOD WE CAN STANDFAST IN HIS LIBERTY. WHEN THE RAIN FALLS AND THE STORM BLOWS JUST HOLDFAST THE LORD MAY COME TO YOU WALKING ON THE WATER. HE MAY SHOW HIMSELF TO YOU IN A MIGHTY WAY. REVEAL HIS HEART TO YOU IN A GREATER WAY.

I THANK HIM THAT HE NEVER CHANGES AND HIS PLANS FOR US ARE FOREVER THE SAME. I PRAY THAT WHEN DEATH/DARKNESS TRIES TO INVADE YOUR LIFE THAT YOU STANDFAST IN THE LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HAS MADE YOU FREE. HE CHANGES NOT GLORY TO HIS NAME.


IF IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING THE WAY YOU THINK IT SHOULD JUST SERVE HIM ANYWAY, PRAISE HIM ANYWAY,PRAY,SING, TEACH, PREACH , AND LIVE FOR HIM ANYWAY!!!!!!


GO BLESS ALL
PRAY THIS ENCOURAGES YOU IN YOUR TIME OF NEED

GREETINGS IN HIS PRECIOUS NAME, AS I SIT HERE IN MY OFFICE I AM MEDITATING ON THE FAITHFULNESS OF OUR SAVIOUR. THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM, TRULY WHAT OR WHO CAN BE COMPARED TO HIM. WHEN WE ARE RIGHT HE IS FAITHFUL, WHEN WE ARE WRONG HE IS FAITHFUL. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT HIS FAITHFULNESS IS NOT DETERMINED BY OUR FEELINGS BUT ACCORDING TO HIS WORD.

I JUST WANT TO REPRESENT THE LORD WELL. I JUST WANT TO BE FAITHFUL. LORD LET US BE CONFORMED TO YOUR WILL ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD, THAT WE MIGHT REFLECT YOUR CHARACTER.

WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LONGING TO HEAR FROM OUR FATHER WHEN THE TIME IS AT HAND. BY HIS GRACE LET US BE FOUND FAITHFUL TO HIM AND HIS KINGDOM.

IS IT POSSIBLE IN AN UNFAITHFUL WORLD TO FIND FAITHFULNESS HERE? YES AND AGAIN I SAY YES.

JESUS DECLARED WHEN THE SON OF MAN RETURNS WILL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?

LET IT BE ME, THIS SHOULD BE OUR CRY TO THE LORD IN RESPONSE TO THAT QUESTION.

BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCORDING TO HIS HOLY WORD. WE CAN UNDERGO A TRANSFORMATION. TRANSFORMED INTO A PEOPLE THAT ARE IN HIS IMAGE. FULL OF HIS LOVE, AND BY ALL MEANS HIS FAITHFULNESS. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE ATTRIBUTES OF THE LORD THAT SHOULD BE SEEN IN US BUT I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN A BOOK. SO THAT WILL BE FOR ANOTHER TIME.

BE COMMITTED TO BE FAITHFUL. IF YOU FALL, GET UP, IF YOU FAIL, TRY AGAIN. FAITHFULNESS IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FAILURE IT IS THE SIMPLE DETERMINATION TO NOT ALLOW FAILURE (OR YOUR FLAWS) TO STOP YOU FROM THE PURSUIT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD I JUST WANT TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE LORD.

IT IS SAID ABOUT DAVID " HE DID THE WILL OF GOD AND DIED. HE FAILED AT TIMES, BUT HE FINISHED HIS COURSE AND WAS GIVEN AN EVERLASTING NAME AND HIS SON THE KING OF KINGS WILL SIT ON HIS THRONE FOREVER.

DAVID ALLOWED THE WORD TO BE ESTABLISHED IN HIS HEART. BY THIS THE LORD WAS GLORIFIED. ALLOW THE LORD TO ESTABLISH HIS WORD IN YOUR HEART. GROW FROM FAITH TO FAITH AND FROM GLORY TO GLORY. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE IN THOSE THAT ARE FAITHFUL.

MY PRAYER FOR YOU IS THAT THE LORD STRENGTHEN YOU, ESTABLISH YOU AND SETTLE YOU IN THE WILL OF THE LORD.

BE FAITHFUL, COMMITED AND DETERMINED AND ABOVE ALL LET GOD BE GOD AND ALLOW HIM TO REFLECT HIS CHARACTER IN YOU AND THROUGH YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU , CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU MAY HE GRANT YOU HIS PEACE.

LIVIN FOR HIM ON PURPOSE

HOW GREAT IS IT TO LIVE FOR GOD!!!! TO KNOW THAT HE LOVES US SO MUCH THAT HE WOULD SEND HIS ONLY SON TO DIE FOR ALL OF THE SINS OF THE WORLD. TO REALIZE THAT HE WILL NOT LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US IS COMPLETELY LIBERATING!!! I PRAY THAT GOD WILL SHOW EACH OF YOU THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM. WHAT IS THE "MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM" YOU MIGHT ASK---

I AM GLAD YOU ASKED!!!

"THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM IS CHRIST IN ME THE HOPE OF GLORY" COLOSSIANS 1:27

HE SAID I WILL HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS THAT THE EXCELLANCY OF THE POWER MIGHT BE OF GOD AND NOT OF MAN.

GLORY TO GOD HE WANTS TO FLOW TO YOU SO HE CAN FLOW THOUGH YOU. AS YOU PRESENT YOURSELF TO THE LORD FOR THE PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIP HE RECEIVES YOU JUST AS YOU ARE . WHEN YOU GOT SAVED IT WAS JUST AS YOU ARE AND HE WILL USE YOU JUST AS YOU ARE!!!! WHATEVER SEASON YOU MAY BE IN HE WANTS TO MANIFEST HIS LOVE TO YOU AND THROUGH YOU!!!!!


LET GOD BE GOD AND JUST BECOME CONTENT IN THE SEASON HE HAS YOU IN AND LET HIM LOVE YOU!!!

GLORY TO GOD, FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. LIVE FOR GOD AND LET HIM BE ALL HE IS AND RECEIVE HIS LOVE.

MAY YOU HAVE GREAT FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER , THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

I STAND IN AWE OF THE GRACE OF GOD. HOW HE, AS PERFECT AS HE IS, COULD WALK WITH SOMEONE AS IMPERFECT AS MYSELF. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS HE SAVED ME AND SEALED ME BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE. HIS GRACE COVERS MY FAILURES AND EMPOWERS ME TO WALK WITH HIM. BY HIS WORD HE EMPOWERS US TO FOLLOW HIS COMMANDS BECAUSE HE WRITES THEM ON THE TABLE OF OUR HEARTS.

BE ENCOURAGED REGARDLESS OF THE SEASON THAT YOU MAY BE IN THAT THOSE WHO RECEIVE HIM TO THEM HE GIVES POWER TO BECOME THE SONS (AND DAUGHTERS) OF GOD. JOHN 1:12.

ALLOW HIM TO DECLARE HIS CHARACTER AND HEART TO YOU AS YOU PRESENT YOURSELF IN PRAYER AND READING HIS LOVE LETTER TO YOU (THE WORD).

WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU WERE ORDAINED TO WALK WITH HIM AND BEAR FRUIT IT WILL CAUSE YOU TO SMILE MORE THAT YOU HAVE EVER SMILED BEFORE. TO KNOW THAT THE ONE THAT LOVES YOU REFUSES TO LEAVE YOU WILL SET YOU FREE FROM THE STRUGGLES OF RELATIONSHIPS. RECEIVE HIS LOVE AND WALK IN THE FREEDOM GIVEN TO YOU THROUGH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.


WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF STRUGGLING, ALLOW YOUR WEAKNESSES TO REVEAL HIS STRENGTH AT WORK IN YOUR LIFE.

HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT, FOR HIS STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU, MAY HE LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE.

STAY STRONG, NEVER GIVE UP FOR THOSE WHO WAIT UPON THE LORD WILL RENEW THIER STENGTH THEY WILL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT GROW WEARY, THEY WALK AND NOT FAINT.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

IN HIS LOVE

I'M HAVING A BLAST SERVIN THE LORD. IT IS GREAT TO KNOW THAT HE IS AT WORK IN US BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE. I'M AMAZED AT HIS FAITHFULNESS. FOR 23 YEARS HE HAS NEVER FAILED ME. "THEY SAID I COULDN'T MAKE IT" ( I THINK I SAID IT MOST) BUT THE LORD IS FAITHFUL AND HE PROMISED TO KEEP ME BY THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT. AND HE NEVER FAILS PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!

IF LIFE IS SLAPPING YOU UPSIDE THE HEAD BE ENCOURAGED HE IS THE AUTHOR OF LIFE. THERE IS NO PROBLEM TO BIG FOR HIM. NO MOUNTAIN, NO GIANT, NO PROBLEM IS MUCH WHEN YOU LINE IT UP TO HOW BIG MY LORD IS.

BE ENCOURAGED!!! HE IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING. WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN DOESN'T MATTER AND IT CAN'T BE CHANGED. WHERE YOU ARE GOING IS THE IMPORTANT THING IN OUR LIFE.

LET'S LEARN FROM PAUL AND PUT THE THINGS BEHIND US- BEHIND US AND LET US PRESS TOWARD THE MARK OF THE HIGH CALLING OF THE LORD ( PHIL 3)

GOD BLESS AND BE ENCOURAGED - IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING - WE ARE HIS OFFSPRING.

YOU ARE OF GOD LITTLE CHILDREN AND HAVE OVERCOME HIM(SATAN) FOR GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THANT HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD
