Which Will You Choose?

JEREMIAH 17:5-8

"CURSED is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength. Whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited".

"BLESSED is the man who trusts in the LORD , and whose hope is in the LORD. For he shall be planted by the waters which spread out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit".

The Word of God speaks to the situation in America today. Men who have put their trust in stocks, banks, and all forms of riches are finding themselves in desperate situations at the dawn of each new day this year.

On the other hand, God's people who have trusted solely in Him and who continue to stand on His promises found in His Word, are experiencing blessings and peace. They are able to have all of their needs met to all sufficiency in every situation.

I am a witness. My faith is being tested as to whether or not I believe what I write and say. Sometimes I get right down to the wire, BUT GOD ALWAYS comes through. He always makes a way where there seems to be NO WAY. He is FAITHFUL.

I Praise His Holy Name!

Set Free

"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32

What is Freedom?

To be free of restraint and obligation. To owe no man nothing but to pray for him. To be free of all bondage. To be liberated.

What is Truth?

God is truth. He can not lie. Truth in all of its fullness and scope is embodied in Jesus Christ.

Therefore, to know God intimately and to believe and obey His word will truly set you free!

Give your heart to Jesus today and become free from all your bondage, all your fears, all your anxieties. Enter into His freedom. His shed Blood on the cross paid the price for you to be free. All you have to do is believe and receive. Jesus loves you that much!

Remember

MAY I ALWAYS REMEMBER TO:

1. Encourage youth.

2. Find time to keep a promise.

3. Forgive a grudge.

4. Forgive an enemy.

5. Listen.

6. Think first of someone else.

7. Laugh a little.

8. Gladden the heart of a child.

9. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of God's earth.

10. Speak always of God's love.

Give God The Glory

"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians 3:17

I have found that heeding this scripture will save you a lot of stress and heartache. Because, no matter how hard you try, you can not please people. They will always find fault with something you do, or your motives.

Therefore, just please God and give Him the glory. He is easy to please!

Remember He loves you and He alone knows your heart.

The Harvest

It is rumored that if you have planted good seed in 2008, that you can expect to reap a good harvest in 2009.

Some of these seeds are:
right relationships, finances, ministry, tithes, service, and of course worship, prayer and obedience to Father God and His Word.

Quality seed will bring a quality harvest of maturity and completeness.

I pray that if the rumor is true, I have sown quality seed.

Hang On to Faith

FAITH IN GOD AND HIS WORD WILL PREVAIL IN THESE TRYING TIMES. Isaiah 11:11 "The LORD shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people."

The Remnant are the overcomers. Those tried in the fire and have come forth as pure gold. So rejoice, these are great times. The trying of our faith will make us ready to receive the blessings of the promises.

Proverbs 13:13 "Whoso despiseth the WORD shall be destroyed: but he that fearth the commandment shall be rewarded."

God said it, and I believe it!

How about you? Do you believe? This is not the time to doubt. This is the time for FAITH!!
