The Lord Will Sustain Us!

Psalm 3: 5,6 (New International Version)

5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn up against me on every side.


What a blessing it is to be able to lay down and just sleep! Peaceful sleep knowing that God is protecting us. For longer than I can remember fear was to real in my life. Of course it was nothing but a trick of the enemy to keep me in doubt and unbelief. As I began to grow in the Lord, I realized that we have power over Satan because of the Holy Spirit that lives in us. Praise God, we do not have to be under his control. I encourage you to read Gods Word and claim these promises for yourself. We can live this life victoriously! I pray that you will be strengthened and renewed. Have a Wonderful day in the Lord!

We Will Be Delivered!

Daniel 12:1 (New International Version)


The End Times
1. "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.


My Daniel Bible Study is so good, I knew some about the last day events, but evidently not enough. Beth Moore is tremendous and truly led by God to do what she is doing. Even the other ladies in our group who are a tad older than I am are learning new things. I believe this is the message of the hour, the Lord is coming very soon! God always sent some one, a prophet, to tell His people that judgement was coming if they didn't repent! It is the same message now! But folks need to be told, I believe pastors are responsible for telling their congregations. And of course each of us needs to know what is going on so we can tell others. I pray for a hunger to know the truth of His Word, remember the truth sets us free. We do not have to be afraid, God will protect us and be with us no matter what!

He Carried Our Pains!

Isaiah 53:4 (The Message)

But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.

Do you see this picture in your mind? It just broke my heart as I read of how Jesus suffered and died for me and you. We don't like to think of things that are to explicit, and as far as violence is rated this would be a "R". But because of what He did for us, we can live. We are saved from the awful fate of death, separated forever from God. Space and time will not allow all that God did for us when He sent His Son to take our place. Sometimes we need to remember and be so thankful, living our life according to His will. His Word is our road map, read it and you will know what His plans are for you. Bless you!

Above the Storms!

Ephesians 6:10-13 (New International Version)


10.Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11.Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12.For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13.Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Let's choose to listen to our Lord when He tells us what to do when the storms come to our life. Then, let's act on our faith, as the old saying goes "put legs on faith". God hears and honors our prayers and requests. God is so good and He is always there for us. Nothing will ever separate us from His Love. As you begin this week, don't be fearful! Remember these scriptures and speak them out loud; "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil 4:13), and "No weapon formed against me will prosper" (Isa 54:17). We can be victorious! Does it mean we will never have problems or trials? Of course not! But God will be with us through everyone one of them. Blessings on you as you read this!

Welcome to Spiritual Sundays!

Joshua 24:15 (New International Version)


15. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

It is all comes down to choices, doesn't it? Each and every time you are faced with a decision, you will make a choice. Some will line up with the Word of God, and some will not! But we are allowed to choose. I am sure He is grieved when we make the wrong ones because of the consequences that come along with it. Nevertheless He is always there, a constant in our life, to restore and forgive us. I hope and pray you made a choice this Lords Day, to spend in His house, being uplifted and encouraged by the saints. God Bless you, Have a Wonderful Day!

Iron Shapens Iron!

Proverbs 27:17 (New Living Translation)

17. As iron sharpens iron,
so a friend sharpens a friend.


"We rub off on each other. Are we rubbing off on each other for good, or are we rubbing off on each other for evil? Are we lifting one another up, or are we pulling one another down? We do not have to try consciously to do either. It will just happen." This was quoted from the Forerunner Commentary, it was so good I wanted to include it to help understand this "iron sharpens iron". We have a responsibility to be careful of our words. There again, our "WORDS", blessings and curses come out of our mouth. We speak so many things into existence! So when we are with our friends or family, we need to remember our words can encourage or discourage, build up or tear down. Let's try to be more mindful of every word that we speak!

A Time of Mourning!

Deuteronomy 34:8 (New International Version)

8. The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.

As I learned of my friends father passing away, I am reminded of the loved ones in our family that have gone on to be with the Lord. Yes, we will experience weeping and mourning, but then time seems to dull the memories of the pain. I know her and her family are hurting right now, but I also know God gives peace and comfort. There never seems to be the right words to say, and maybe there isn't any. Showing people we love them and care about them is God loving them through us. So to my friend and her family, our prayers and thoughts are with you. God Bless You!
