You do more damage than good when you get ahead of God.
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17

Wednesday, June 1, 2016 "Formula for Beating the Enemy"
The enemy comes to kill and destroy (John 10:10)so do not allow your mind to wander, your heart to harden or your soul to weaken. Stay focused in love and be strong in His presence. That is how we beat the him!
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 "His Timing Not Mine"
I want nothing more in my life than the Lord's perfect timing. In His time, not my own.
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14
Monday, May 30, 2016 "Closed Doors"
Never longingly look at a closed door. When the Lord closes a door we are to rejoice in gratitude and look forward. For His will shall be done on our lives.
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens." Revelations 3:7
Sunday, May 29, 2016 " Why Aren't I Popular?"
Do you ever feel like an outsider in this world? Unpopular? Not part of any circle? Truth is I have felt that way, but I read in the Word of God that most of Jesus' disciples were unpopular and so was Jesus Himself. We are set apart from this world therefore we will not fit in nor be the most wanted guest at a party. It is something I have come to accept and in church yesterday I came upon this scripture and it was so fitting for how I was feeling and it made be feel better-
James 4:4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Saturday, May 28, 2016 "No Luck in the Kingdom of God"
Why do people use the word luck and blessed in the same sentence? What a mockery of words. There is no luck in the Kingdom of God. For He shall receive all the glory!
For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
2 Corinthians 1:20

Friday, May 27, 2016 "The Head not the Tail"
We are the head not the tail and we are the victor never the victim. Do not let the enemy lie to you into making you believe you do not have worth. You were created with value and purpose. Glory be to God!
The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Deuteronomy 28:13
Thursday, May 26, 2016 "Always Be Ready"
We must always be ready to defend our faith against those that hate the Lord and what He stands for. We must never be afraid for the Lord God will go before you and protect you from all evil. Good conquerors all.
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 "We Reap What We Sow"
We will reap what we sow. Be careful in word and in deed.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7

Tuesday, May 24, 2016 "Allow No one to Come Between You and God"
No one can come between me and my relationship with the Lord. But I have seen so many strong Christians be brought down by either their non believing spouses or friends and loved ones. It is sad and I can understand how it happens. But please trust in the Lord and choose Him over any person that is being used to hurt your relationship with Him. The minute you were saved, you placed a target on your back for the enemy. He comes to kill, destroy and rob us in every way and that includes our relationships not only with God but with others. Be on guard, be wise, be diligent. Stay strong! Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.

Monday, May 23, 2016 "Will of God"
I have learned over the years how not to get in front of God. So many past mistakes, so many wasted years caused by my own ignorance, but I have learned to birth everything by prayer. Before I make a move now, my husband and I will pray about it and give it to God. We wait upon Him and remain still. It takes perseverance and it takes patience but I promise you living a life according to God's will is like no other.
"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand".
Proverbs 19:21
Sunday, May 22, 2016 "What Saves You"
Being a good person does not save you. Works does not save you. Believing that sin is real and that God did something about it in the person of Jesus Christ is what saves you. When you confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved. Period. End of Conversation.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life". John 5:24
Saturday, May 21, 2016 "Choices"
Life is about choices. And those choices will bear consequences. When someone chooses to deny Jesus Christ as the personal Lord and Savior, there will be eternal ramifications. Heaven is a real place. Hell is a real place. The choice you make today will determine where you will spend eternity.
"And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:46

Friday, May 20, 2016 "My Relationship is not a Religion"
My faith is my own personal story about my relationship with Jesus. I do not worship His statue nor feel the need to pray on my knees. I do not pray repetitious prayers nor say novenas nor use beads. Those rituals are of a religion, not of a personal relationship. I live my life for my Lord and He is my life line. I adore Him and call Him my Father. I speak to Him all day, everyday, not just on Sundays. I am a Christian-a child of God.
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God. Hebrew 6:1
Thursday, May 19, 2016 "Go to Sleep"
Give it to God and go to sleep.
And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14
Wednesday, May 18, 2016 "Am I Trying to Please Man or Please God?"
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10
Tuesday, May 17, 2016 "Look to God"
When we start to expect things out of man that only God can fulfill we get into trouble.
Psalm 118:8
Monday, May 16, 2016 "Never Walk Away"
Do you ever want to just give up and go back to living a life where you called the shots and you did whatever you wanted to do? We have all been there and fallen weak with life's challenges but we must never lose sight or faith in God. He is the only hope we have and anything less is a lie from the enemy for he comes to lie and destroy us. Never walk away from the One who gave you life.
Psalm 94:14-23
Sunday, May 15, 2016 "Share Jesus With Others"
It is so important that we share our faith with others. Jesus is man's only hope and He calls us to share that truth with those we meet. I know it is scary because we fear being rejected or ridiculed but the Holy Spirit will go before us. Our testimony may be the only one someone ever hears.
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15
Saturday, May 14, 2016 "He is Our Rock"
Isaiah 26 reminds us that He will keep us in perfect peace if we will keep our mind steadfast on Him. He is our Rock eternal.
Friday, May 13, 2016 "Stand in the Knowledge"
We will all face struggles that we may not understand but if we place our faith in the Lord we can stand in the knowledge that He is with us. He will bring good out of every situation. Romans 8:28-29
Wednesday, May 11, 2016 "By Our Side"
Jesus walks beside us as well as in front of us.
He will never leave our side.
Monday, May 9, 2016 "Negative Thinking"
It is easy to get caught up in negative thinking. Joyce Meyer calls it "stinkin thinkin" and it really is. Nothing good comes out of it. If we allow our minds to go down a dark rabbit hole,we lose sight of God's light. We must place our faith and trust in Him and not give in to thoughts that make us anxious or angry. Stay in the light of God.
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3
Sunday, May 8, 2016 "Stay Committed to God"
Never let the lack of commitment in someone else's walk effect yours. Stay strong and stay close to God.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
