IMAGE

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He creatd him; male and female He created them." (Genisis 1:27 NKJV).

"He created them male and female, and blessed them Mankind in the day they were created."

(Genesis 5: 2 NKJV).

As Christians, when we look into a mirror to behold our image do we see Christ or do we see the old image of self not yet crucified with Christ? Meaning, are we concerned about how others see us or how God sees us? Is our goal to present an image of Christ to the world or to glorify self? Is what others think of us our main concern or what God thinks about us?

These questions present food for thought about exactly why we were saved in the first place? Spending time in God's word will bring an answer to those questions, and gradually change our image to that of Christ likeness toward all.

GOD's Promises

I have discovered through all of my past testings and trials that forced my faith to focus on and believe the promises of God, that there is indeed power in His word.

I learned that there I have a choice to look at the circumstances and sink into depression and despair, or to believe God's promises and rise up to victory. I choose to do the latter. Now today I have the VICTORY over my present dilemma.

"How?" you ask. Here are the promises Father God gave me to rely on daily;

1. "I will never leave you or forsake you." Deuteronomy 31;6; JOSHUA 1:5; HEBREWS 13:5.

2. "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT..." Psalm 23:1.

3. "For I am the LORD who heals you." Exodus 15:26.

4. "Peace I give you; not as the world give do I give to you... John 14:27.

5. "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19.

6. "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy." Psalm 126:5.

7. "I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.: Psalm 4:6.

God is Speaking

Prepare yourselves. Time is short. The judgement of God is descending!

February 12, 2010 the heavens opened and poured out a multitude of dazzling white robes that almost covered the entire United States.

White, being the symbol for purity, gives the appearance of all things being made new and without stain.

This historic snow storm once again proves that Father God is in control in the affairs of earth and men. Most all of man's inventions and institutions came to a screeching halt.

"Speak Lord for your servant is indeed listening."

I pray for God's mercy on the United States!

Center Yourself In God

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said"it is finished" and he bowed His head and gave up the ghost. John 19:20

I HAVE COME TO KNOW THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE MYSTERIES IN CHRIST and HIS WORD; IT IS FAITH in the FINISHED WORK of CHRIST.

Fear is finished. Defeat is finished, Confusion is finished. Oppression is finished. Ignorance is finished. Poverty is finished. Powerlessness is finished. Bondage is finished. Loneliness is finished.

And most of all, I AM FINISHED, ("Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.") Galatians 2:20

The trial of my FAITH produces patience. "In patience posses ye your souls." Luke 21:19

I patiently wait on the The LORD to implement His plan for me. Jeremiah 29:11

Keep Your Eyes On JESUS

Yes Lord! I hear you speaking.

"Though her voice is small and mild,

All heaven stills for the prayer of a child."

Heaven's Grocery Store

I was walking down life's highway a long time ago,
One day I saw a sign that read Heaven's Grocery Store,
As I got a little closer the door came open wide,
And when I came to myself I was standing inside.





I saw a host of angels they were standing everywhere,
One handed me a basket and said "My child shop with care,"
Everything a Christian needed was in that Grocery Store,
And all you couldn't carry, you could come back the next day for more.





First I some PATIENCE, Love was in the same row,
Further down was UNDERSTANDING, you need that everywhere you go,
I got a box of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH,
I just couldn't miss the Holy Ghost for it was all over the place.


I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race.
By then my basket was getting full, but I remembered I needed some GRACE.


I didn't forget SALVATION, for salvation that was free,
So, I tried to get enough to save both you and me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything to do my Father's will.


As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run right into Sin,
PEACE and JOY were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
Song and Praises were hanging near so I just helped myself.



Then, I said to the Angel "Now, how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go."
Again I smiled at him and said, "How much now do I really owe?"


He smiled again and said, "My child JESUS PAID YOUR BILL A LONG TIME AGO."

Another New Year! Stand Fast in the LORD

Every New Year's eve I make it a point to be in church on my knees praying that the new year will be far better than the last.

I believe the way I start out the year determines how my year will go.

Well from the looks of things so far, it has started out the same as last year or maybe even worse.

But God said, in His word, do not look at the circumstances, but look at me. However, I need to understand just what is going on; if it is me that is causing the onslaught of doom and gloom. Maybe I need an attitude check. My faith is hanging by a thread attached to His garment. He reminded me that's all I need to believe that He has not forsaken me and never will.

Therefore, having said all that, all I need is to TRUST HIM! He has a plan worked out for me all I need to do is relax and check the attitude. As the book of Proverbs says; Get Wisdom! Get Understanding!

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you might have peace, in the world you shall have tribulation:but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:333 New KJV
