Friends

This word is a sacred one to me. I have a very close circle of friends. A very close circle... so, close and small in number I can count on one hand.  Don't be upset I have given you the other word, associate. It is not as close, but still endearing.

My Lord defines the word friend in this way. Great love has no one than this, than to lay down one'a life for his friends John 15:13.

Of course, I know that this maybe one sided, but I don't have to deal with that. I give it all over to God the unthankful people. And let Him deal with them.

I am so thankful I have friends. Some I talk to daily and others not so often, but we know that friends, true friends are forever. I thank God for them all new and old.

A compassionate heart is a friendly friend!

Psalm 136:1

Oh, gives thanks to The Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

It Is by Faith

Hebrews 10:34-36

For you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in Heaven.

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the Will of God, you may receive the promise.

Sword

When you're up against the wall, use God's power to fight back that enemy. Pick up His sword and go to work. Pray for your enemies... Some people say, "This is hard to do," but to me, it isn't.

I read, meditate, and pray over the things of God and I know, if I want to be like Jesus Christ, I must accept everything as Christ. He didn't just die for me. He died to save us all, Mankind. It is written: that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust Matthew 5:45.

Christ loved us and we were once His enemy; but He gave us a chance to become one with Him. Accept Him TODAY! He's the only choose of true change and then you can love your enemy with the love He has given you.

Pick up your cross today and go to work on behalf of your enemy. The reward is great and it awaits you.

What is your reward in doing this?

A heavenly resting place for your soul in Him.

Read the Bible and fall in love.

Knowledge Is Power

If you want to enhance your knowledge... READ A BOOK! 

Real Love

Real love, God's love forgives all... And If His love resides in you, you will have no problem with turning the other cheek and forgiving all wrongs. Real forgiveness is abiding in God's agape love... Love thee neighbor and forgive thee faults, TODAY!

2 Chronicles 16:9

The Eyes of The Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.

Proverb 8:17

I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find Me.

What's In Your Closet?

You make yourself look ugly and less than you profess when you make derogatory remark(s) about someone else. 

Why is my happiness a concern of yours? I choose to be happy and there's nothing you can do about it! When God is your everything you can and will be happy even in the midst of your storms (adversities) because you'll have peace, REAL PEACE! Yes, it is hard, but a must. I choose to NOT complain and be unhappy and I look at the good in every situation in my life and smile and am happy in it. It could be worse, but thank God... It isn't! So, if you would just give your circumstances to God and stop trying to do me harm... You can smile and be happy too. IJS

It is so much better to love and be happy than hate and be evil. 

Facial Expression

I am typically a happy person and silly throughout the day. But, my facial expression my reflect something different, and is very noticeable by all who knows me. But, if you didn't know me what would you think? Okay, I will not touch that. But, it is not "a some kind of look expression" The look is deep meditation. I am holding onto God's hand. Everyone knows I love to laugh. I enjoy it. Didn't you know laughter is a gift from God? It is medicine for the soul, and it cannot be taken away from you unless you allow someone to rob you of it.

Well, I refuse to let the enemy steal me blind of anything, anymore. I smile and laugh because I AM HAPPY AND FREE!

READ! And let GOD open you up to ETERNAL LIFE!

Today is the day of salvation. BE SAVED AND SAFELY REST IN THE WORD OF GOD!

Live, love and LAUGH!

Peace to you all.

Working Is What I Do

When I awake, I praise and give God thanks for allowing me to see another day. Then, I read my daily devotional reading(s) and read what thus says The Lord from my NKJV Bible. Finally, I go to work interceding for the people on my prayer list; asking for healing and restoration in their lives. I ask that He help the lost unbelief, and for God to meet the needs of His people...etc. and rejoice because I count it done in Jesus' name.

The Anchor

Why live a meager existence when you can live as royalty. My people live a life as though you are free; not the definition as the world gives, but God's .You must, get into His word so He can breathe life into your existence. By reading His word He will refresh you anew. It will open your spiritual eyes and hears to His still small voice. This is the path of righteousness. Be sensitive and believe what you read. That's how your faith is ignited. He will breathe life into your meager existence. Accept Jesus as your Savior, Lord, Christ, Messiah and King and give yourself over to Him the only One that can save and change you into someone better. Do you want to be set free? Read His Word (The Holy Bible).

I Have the Victory

When people are being mean-spirited against me; I lift up the name of Jesus and feel secure in His Love and in my circumstance.

I praise Him and I am thankful that He is my safe place, high tower, refuge, rock, and my everything! I place whatever or whoever in His hands and in return He gives me His love, joy and peace to continue in Him and make a dead circumstance... VOID!

Then, I sing and rejoice! "I will bless The Lord at all times and His praise shall continuously be in my mouth. Thank You, for Your mercy and grace."

And then... I pray over me and the situation and I proclaim victory!

Set Free

He has opened the eyes of my spirit and set me free from my fears and my insecurities.

God's great love for me. He said it best: there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love 1John 4:18.

Thank you; Father, I love you! And it is  written in the word of God: We love Him because He first loved us V. 19.

I can take everything to my Daddy and He can and will work it out for my good, because He knows I love Him. And it is written: And we know all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to His purpose.

I say, "Yes!" I know my life was predestined. I say, "Thank You!" I am a chosen child of the Most High God. Read all about it in His word Romans 8:28-30.

Holding On For Dear Life

Though it is customary for me to seek the approval of God before any action had taken place; because I do not want to make another left turn, wrong decision or bad choice, so instead of quickly reacting on impulse. I prayed and did not yield to the temptation. I know He is my ALL AND ALL! And I am meditating on His word over this thing.
