Receive the Victory in Jesus Christ

1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

You have nothing to be afraid of for greater is the LORD who is in you, than he (the devil) who is in the world. You as a child of God are not of this world, but are seated with Christ in Heavenly places by His precious Blood. Use your authority given to you by Jesus Christ and receive the victory!

1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

You are loved....
In the perfect love and peace of Jesus,

Laying Down Our Lives To Follow Jesus

Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 
Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

The price to be paid for following Jesus is not cheap. Denying ones self and following the Lord will require on our part a solid commitment to Him, regardless of what the world would think about it. If you have jumped off the boat to walk on the water only to discover that it was not as easy as you thought it would be, don't give up. Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will be there to help you through it. He didn't promise the sea would be smooth, but you can speak with His authority that He has given to you, and command the roaring sea and storm to be still.

In our walk with Jesus, there is no getting around Holiness. That is only part of the cost we pay to follow Him. The Greek word used in the Bible for our English word Church means "Called out". Which goes right along with what the LORD says, "Be Holy, for I am Holy". Holiness is "being separate, set apart or aside", which parallels with the "called out" for the Church. There is no way around it. Holiness in our commitment to Him is what He requires. There is a cost to be paid, but the reward is eternally forever!

Don't get mixed up with worldliness with your walk. Stay modest in clothing, pure in talk and your walk. Remember what Paul said...

2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 
2Ti 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

You are loved....
In the perfect love and peace of Jesus,

Cast Your Cares Upon The Lord Jesus

Psa 61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 
Psa 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 
Psa 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 
Psa 61:4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

When you feel overwhelmed, cast all your cares upon the One who cares for you. Don't carry the heavy burdens of trying to figure things out. Pick up the yoke that Jesus has for you. He has taken our griefs and sorrows, and nailed them to the cross. Isaiah 53:4. Lift your eyes up unto the hills, from where your help comes! See Psalm 121

You are loved greatly in Jesus. Don't give up! Keep going!

In the perfect love and peace of Jesus,

Feasting In The Midst Of Adversity

Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Feasting in the midst of adversity is what the LORD has for His people. There may be all kinds of evil going on in the world, but we are not of it, so we therefore walk in another place with the Lord. Paul wrote in the book of Ephesians that we are seated with Christ in the Heavens.

Let Him anoint you with His fresh oil of joy, happiness, peace and prosperity. Our cup runs over with His Goodness in our lives. Will you let Him give this to you today? He is ready. Just sit down with Him, meditate upon His ways and let Him serve you with His Goodness.

You Are Loved In Jesus!

Breath Of God Is Blowing

Eze 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

You can be sure that when God breathes upon something that it will live! The Bride of Christ is going through a revival process and His breath is breathing upon it. There is a shifting and shaking going on, and it will intensify this year of 2012.

What is encouraging about this? It means that we are rapidly approaching the hour of that glorious moment of when the Church (Bride) meets the Wonderful Almighty Lord Jesus! Yes, with shifting and shaking in the natural and supernatural, we are being purged (1 John 3:3) to meet Him.

Purging is a beautiul and encouraging process as we yield to it. Though in the natural element of it, there is pain as pruning occurs. Just like giving birth, there is a pain in delivering, but the result is oh so wonderful!

Get ready Bride of Christ! Your Revival is about to be poured out on You with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Fire as He said He would do. (Luke 3:16) Yes, CPR to the Bride. The Breath of God is blowing over the Church. Breathe in and let Him Revive You. 

P.S. Don't get out of the 'love walk' as we go through the purifying process together, that is the foundation of who God Himself is...LOVE!

You Are Loved In Jesus!

In the perfect love and peace of Jesus,

Speaking Words Of Edification

Pro 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

It is very important to keep our tongue lined up with the Word of God. Speaking edification, encouragement, health and healing over others and ourselves. There is life and death in the power of our tongue. Proverbs 18:21

It does not mean that edification comes without a warning given in the Love of Christ to keep us from sin. The bottom line of His Love to us is to build us up, let's make sure we are building up with His Love, and not tearing one another down with our words, no backbiting, no gossiping, and no slandering. Love works no ill to the neighbor. None.

Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

In the perfect love and peace of Jesus,

Quit Looking Back and Press Onward!

Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Could have, should have, would have. No need to look back and think that way. There can be lessons learned from past mistakes made, but there is no sense in condemning yourself over and over for what you could have, should have, or would have done.

Press onward! Keep moving forward with the wisdom and revelation you have gained in Christ! The prize awaits in Christ Jesus! Wipe away the guilt, you are forgiven by the Blood of Jesus Christ. No shame. No blame game. Just move forward.

In the perfect love and peace of Jesus,
