Promise

"New Mercies" every morning. God always comes through on His promises so look for yours today. Believe, anticipate, and welcome God's new mercies to your life today!

Through the LORD'S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV)

Lord Jesus, I welcome your love and mercy this morning. Make your presence very real today. Glorify yourself today! Amen.

Direction

The road less traveled began with a 707.56 mile move in God's direction. Where now Lord? There is more road to travel. Let go Lord!

Move slowly

Do you ever think God is teaching you patience? That's how I feel right now. I look at everything and consider if it is of God. Is He leading me and this is part of the plan? Is this or that His will? Does everything mesh somehow? Lots of questions but there are no stupid questions. Yeah, I think it is training! Well, I'll be patient and move forward as God moves.


Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.


Lord Jesus, I pray that I will know your leading and that I will forever be obedient to you. Teach me I pray. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Question/Answer

How can we be effective Christians? Listen for God and respond to His voice.

How do I know when something is God's will or it is just my own will? Examine your heart and motives while seeking His peace.

But I don't understand everything in the Bible? Join the club! Begin studying and God will reveal His truths to you in His timing.

What about my mistakes? Learn from them and use them for God's glory.

Can God really use me? Yes, if you are willing to be used by God.


But I'm still confused. I don't know what I'm doing.

Friend, God uses those who don't know what they are doing to do great things.

Remember...

• Never say never when there's a remote possibility that it's God.
• Be careful seeking the advice of others when God is speaking to you directly.
• Be open to God and allow God to lead you wherever He wants.
• Read God's Word; it is God speaking to you.
• Pray to God. He wants to hear from you.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV)

That means you!

Lord Jesus, help us to accomplish Your purpose for us. Help us to be bold, brave, and busy for the Kingdom of Heaven while we wait on You to return. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Message of Truth

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen. (Jude 1:17-25 NKJV)

It says it All!

Repent and be Saved
AMEN and AMEN!

Enjoy your weekend and Worship Yahweh, finding rest in Jesus!

We praise your name Lord Jesus! Amen.


Psalm 148:13 "Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven."


Psalm 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him..."

Escape

At the end of a long day it's comforting to find rest in Jesus. He is your peace and security. He makes everything alright!

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 NKJV)

Now I lay me down to sleep, I thank the Lord my soul He keeps! Good Night Jesus. Amen

Stand Ready

Beware the enemy! He moves around us with one purpose; DEATH. He likes to confuse, create doubt, cause smart people to make stupid mistakes, and conquer his targets. But "Stand Ready!" Don't be fooled. Trust your heart and your Savior. Remember your Salvation! Jesus is your salvation.

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NKJV)

Victory in Jesus!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13 NKJV)

Thank you Jesus for our victory in YOU! I can withstand when I stand-with You. You are my strength and Salvation. In the wonderful name of Jesus. Amen.

Looking or Being New?

This week has been paint-the-house-week. As I rolled a coat of paint on the wall I said to myself, "that looks new again." It's amazing how the paint hides the scuffs and scratches.

I like looking new but I love being new. When I received Jesus, He didn't just make me look new, He made me new. He didn't just cover over the scuffs and scratches of my life, He removed them completely!

"Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17; RSV)

How is it with you today? Are you living a life that looks new or are you New in Christ? I invite you to join the Jesus team. We are always looking for New members!

If you are not sure then why don't you make sure right now! Ask Jesus to make you New again!!

Father, You sent the One and Only to do what man could not do himself. Jesus made the way for everyone to become new again. Many have found the Way and He has made us new. Thank you Jesus! Now some may still be searching Lord. Help them to find their way to You. Help them to know and receive You. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Standing at the Gate

Acts 3 tells us about a crippled man healed at the gate called "Beautiful." Those in the temple courts were amazed at this wonder. Peter said that he was healed "by faith in the name of Jesus." (3:16)

Our healer is the One called Beautiful. The same Jesus! Jesus knows your trouble. Stand before Him in faith and trust Him for your healing. Allow Jesus to do a wonderful work in you and through you. Believe in His power. Amaze the people! Give God His glory.

Read Acts 3

Father, thank you for the Savior, our Savior, my Saviour. Thank you for sending us the Healer. Thank you for the love of Jesus. In the name of Jesus I say thank you! Amen

feel the love

I'm feeling the love this morning. It's all about "love."

Proverbs 8:17 "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."

John 14:21 "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Jesus, thanks for loving me. Amen

Directions

Life is full of directions. Some directions help keep us safe, like how fast to drive. Some directions help keep us in line, like where to sit. Some directions help us complete a project or task correctly, like the first time. But not all directions lead us in the right direction. As Christians, we must be careful not get misdirected. We must seek godly direction in everything we do and everywhere we go. Love Jesus and He will direct your path.

Proverbs 3:6, "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path."

Lord Jesus, You know where you will lead us and where we will follow. Help us to be obedient along the way and to recognize You. Help us to see your plan as it unfolds before us. Help us we pray. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Needed & Sent

God puts us where we are needed. We just have to respond to the need.

While on my way to Pitt Memorial Hospital last Saturday to visit my Aunt Hallie my phone rang. It was Mr. Thomas, a friend I had made weeks earlier while at Pitt Hospital with my mom. He was calling to tell me about his decision to remove life support from his wife. He was hurting inside and was reaching out to me. But what Mr. Thomas did not know was that God had a plan. I wasn't 700 miles away when I answered my phone, I was only 30 miles and headed in his direction. What a special few hours we shared. We laughed, we cried, and we prayed together. Yes, God puts us where we are needed, we just have to respond to the need.

Psalm 121:2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.(NKJV)

Father, I am still waiting for another call from Mr. Thomas as he waits on You. Be near to my friend and his family and put others there to help in his time of need. In Jesus Name. Amen.
