Standing On The ROCK

"On Christ the Solid Rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand!"

We believers are not to put our trust in the things of this world. Our trust is to be in Jesus the Christ. He alone is our ROCK of safety amidst this shaky economy and chaotic time. " All else is sinking sand.

If there is no bread on the table =Trust God!

If there is no money to pay bills = Trust God!

If all around you is failing = Trust God! (Proverbs 3:5)

He said in His word He will NEVER leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5), and His word is TRUE.

"For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a ROCK." ( Psalm 27:5).

New Management

When your faith is failing you; you need new management!

"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men." 1Thessalonians 5:14 KJV

"Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgement of the LORD." Jeremiah 8:7 KJV

Father God always warns us ahead of time so we will be in the right place at the right time. Eventually, you learn to like the way Father God works everything out for your good and His Glory.

Don't let the drama overtake you!

Father God never allows any trial or tribulation to come upon you that the Holy Spirit has not first warned you of its coming. If He is allowed, the Holy Spirit will prepare you ahead of time to be a victorious overcomer at the finish.

"The harder the conflict; the more glorious the triumph."

Father God waits on us to get out of the way so that He can show us The Way less traveled, which leads to The Kingdom of God.

Everything I need to go to the next level is inside of me right now. Jesus Christ is LORD!!

GRACE

Grace-God's unmerited favor!

This new year I'm prompted to reflect on God's Grace.

How do we survive in this world without it? I know I can not make it day by day except for the Grace of Father God.

It is by His Grace that I am saved, delivered and set free.

It will be by His Grace that I make it through this year; but let me not forget it is by one step at a time through this journey.

I keep my eye on the prize!

Endurance

Well here it is another Christmas holiday.

A time to reflect on the birth and Resurrection of our LORD Jesus Christ and exactly what that means.

It is not a time to celebrate materialism or some other entity. The world has it all wrong as usual.

However, I Praise Father God for His steadfast faithfulness this year and the many blessings He has seen fit to bestow on me and my family. We only made it through because of Him.

I'm looking forward to a spiritually enlightened New Year with my Christian family.

I pray for this world to come to know the saving grace of Jesus the Christ in this New Year. May God continue to have mercy on us all.

To God be the glory of this Christmas season!

GOD IS;

Faithful and worthy to be praised!

Give Him thanks today and every day!

What a mighty awesome GOD we serve!!

To GOD be the glory forever!

DECEPTION

Deceit of the Mind is Created by Degrees

Satan's greatest strategy is to deceive our minds. Here a little, there a little he uses the many voices in the world today to plant seeds of deception until our ears are deaf to the words of truth found in the Bible.

Father God was very aware of this subtle strategy of the enemy that is why he cautioned us in the book of Romans; chapter 12, verse 2, to daily renew our minds. Every day our minds are being saturated with negative words and thoughts from worldly influences. Consequently, we must daily was our minds with the word of God to be able to know what is true and believable.

We are warned in God's word that the enemy comes dressed in costume as an angel of light, when in reality he is the prince of darkness and destruction. Especially in this hour of the church, we believers need to take heed to every word of doctrine we hear and test and try it with the word of God. We are what we think. A believer must take control of his/her mind and guard his/her thoughts. I we cannot conform our mind to God's will, we will be taken captive by satan.

2 Timothy 2:26:

"And that they may recover themselves out of the snares of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will."

The Precious Blood of JESUS

The price for our salvation has been paid by the powerful shed Holy blood of our Savior JESUS!

Justified by His blood (Romans 5:9).

Redeemed by His blood (Revelation 5:9).

Forgiven by His blood (Ephesians 1:7 & Colossians 1:4).

Washed and Freed by His blood (Revelation 1:5).

Sanctified by His blood (Hebrews 13:12).

Triumphant by His blood (Colossians 2:14).

I was a guilty sinner until His innocent blood covered me and made me a new creature in Christ Jesus!

I gladly shout and praise His name!

I now have a reason to sing and worship.

I am now alive and know how to love and forgive as I have been forgiven.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER! Amen
