We all need help. And God is waiting for us to ask him to help us.

Just ask him, and He will. Say it with your mouth: “Father God, I need you. Help me, in Jesus name”.

Start your resolution today by asking with expectations, that God will do what he said he will do. And see him do some amazing things in your life.

Matthew 7:7 (KJV) – ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at what’s on my mind and in my heart. For allowing the Holy Spirit to caress your heart and massage your mind with the word of God.

I pray that God’s word continues to nurture you, build your faith, and strengthen your mind, body and spirit.

Be blessed in the word. Stand strong in The Lord. And know that you are more than a conqueror! For your days ahead will be greater than your former days.

Happy New Year!

I Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV) – in every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) – finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Romans 8:37 (KJV) – nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Job 8:7 (KJV) – though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

We want things done fast, in a hurry. Especially our trials. We don’t have time to wait for them to be over.

When we rush things, we miss the beauty in the process of the operation. When our Father works in us, renew us, He doesn’t do it in a hurry, He slowly works in and through us so that we can grasp Him and his likeness.

Allow God to renew you slowly, day by day, so that you can see him love you daily. Don’t rush the process or you’ll miss the blessing.

II Corinthians 4:16-17 KJV) – for which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

When others treat us wrong without a cause, from nothing we did wrong, quite often we don’t understand why.

Jesus did nothing wrong. He was pure and holy. Yet, He was stripped of his clothes, a crown of thorns was placed on his head, they talked about him, mocked him, spit on him, beat him, tortured him, and then executed him.

And we wonder why. They are of the world – in the flesh. They did it to Jesus, they will do it to you.

But thank God, because He will never leave us, nor forsake us.

John 16:18-21 (KJV) -if the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) – let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Allow God to be the architect in your life. Look to Him to build you up.

Stop trying to do it in your own strength. Stop trying to be in control, and seek Him for guidance. Let God do it, He wants to do it for you.

I Chronicles 16:1 (KJV) – seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.

Isaiah 41:10 (KJV) – fear thou not, for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

You are where you are today because of the decisions you have made, whether good or bad.

Whatever you thought to do, is what you chose to do, is the result of where you are at this very moment.

Your choices, your decisions are real, so are your outcomes.

Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) – for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

We become frustrated in waiting for someone to change according to our expectations, especially in a relationship.  In essence, and drastically, we try to change others.

God accepts us just the way we are, therefore, we are to accept one another the same way. We wouldn’t want someone trying to change us, therefore, let’s not try to change someone else.

Pray for others, as well as for yourself, for God to do his will. Don’t give up in your waiting, but wait for God to do the changing. You will see that God is not just changing the other person, but he’s also changing you.

Trust God. Don’t give up, just wait a little while longer.

Isaiah 40:29 (KJV) – He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Psalm 123:2 (KJV) – behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

When we don’t see things from the other person’s point of view, we either are being stubborn and wanting our way, or we truly don’t see their view.

Most often, we don’t know how, or we don’t want to love someone from the other side. Meaning, we don’t want to see things from the other persons point of view. If we don’t want to change our view, we will not learn to grow, nor to allow God to nurture us to help nurture others.

Learning to love from the other side, changes the direction of a conversation, and most of all, a relationship.

Be quick to listen, and slow to speak.

John 15:12 (KJV) – this is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Romans 12:10 (KJV) – be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.

James 1:19 (KJV) – wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

 

Have you ever felt you were set up by someone? Afterward, you became disappointed, along with a few other emotions.

Whenever you believe you have been set up by the enemy, please know, it’s not a set up to set you back, it’s a set-up to move you forward.

What the enemy ‘tries’ to cause for your harm, remember, God causes it for your good.

Your set-up from the enemy is a blessing in disguise. Count it all joy!!

Genesis 50:20 (KJV) – but as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

James 1:2 (KJV) – my brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.

Do you want to give the ultimate gift for the season – for Christmas?

God gave us the ultimate gift – His only begotten Son, so that we may live through him.

Surrender your life to God and you will receive gifts of blessings over blessings. The gift that keeps on giving.

John 3:16 (KJV) – for God so loved the world, that he gave his on begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I John 4:9 (KJV) – in this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) – but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
