In all things, in all situations PRAY!

Our prayers need not be long and showy....they need to come  straight from our heart and placed on the "Throne of Grace and Mercy"   which we receive in Jesus. 

And be thankful, praising God, that through Him we have access to the Father!

 James 5:13 says anyone who’s having troubles should pray. Anyone who’s happy should sing praises!

Christ in you, the hope of glory! Christ grew in Mary until he had to come out. Christ will grow in you until the same occurs.  He will come out in your speech, in your actions, and in your decisions. Every place you live will be a Bethlehem. And every day you live will be a Christmas. Deliver Christ into the world!

Stand firm in your faith....

 Jesus urges us to “be faithful, even if you have to die, and I will give you the crown of life!” (Revelation 2:10).

Wisdom

Things I have learned through Luke 6:

1.Common sense and doing good are always the right choice. 

2.The wisest decisions are always filtered through prayer. 

3.God chooses whom He wills not us. 

4.Miracles can and do happen when we ask them in His name. 

5.Never call good evil or evil good.

Change will do me good :)

Psalm 139:23-24

"Search me oh God, and know my heart. Test me, and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

In the measure that you believe in Him is the measure that you can receive from God...

As John Wesley was crossing the Atlantic Ocean, heavy winds came up. He was reading in his cabin when he became aware the winds were knocking the ship off course, and he responded in prayer. Adam Clarke, a colleague, wrote it down.

“Almighty and everlasting God. . .Thou holdest the winds in thy fists and sittest upon the water . . .command these winds and these waves that they obey thee, and take us speedily and safely to the haven whither we would go.”

Wesley stood up from his knees, took up his book, and continued to read. Dr. Clarke went on deck where he found calm winds and the ship on course. Wesley made no remark about the answered prayer. Clarke wrote, “So fully did he expect to be heard that he took it for granted that he was heard.”

How bold are your prayers?

It is God’s promise

in Exodus 20:6 to “show love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” 

We need to be thankful for a Christian background. There are blessings beyond our understanding.
