Good sufficient for who

A butcher in his shop and was surprised when a dog entered. He startled the dog, but soon the dog returned. When he tried to shoo it again, did you see that the animal had a note in the mouth. He took the note and read: Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. Signed ...  
He looked inside and saw that the dog's mouth was a note of 50 dollars. Then took the money, split the sausage and leg of lamb, placed in a plastic bag along with the change, and put the dog's mouth.

The butcher and was impressed as I was really time to close the shop, decided to follow the animal. The dog walked down the street, when he reached the intersection left the bag on the floor, jumped up and pushed the button to close the signal. He waited patiently with the bag mouth shut until the signal and he could cross the street. The butcher and the dog were walking down the street, until the dog stopped at a house and put the purchases on the sidewalk. He returned a little, ran and threw himself against the door. It has to do it. No one answered at home. So, the dog circled the house, jumped a low wall, went to the window and started banging his head on the glass several times. After that, walked back to the door, and that's when someone opened the door and started beating the dog. The butcher ran into this person and prevented him, saying:
- For Good heavens, what are you doing? Your dog is a genius!
The person replied: - A genius? This is the second time this week that this stupid forget the key!
Moral: you can continue to exceed expectations, but to the eyes of some, you will always be lower than expected. Anyone can stand adversity, but if you want to test someone's character, give him power.

It happen when people live life for someone else. Since we live our lives to God, we always get more than we deserve.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

God has a great plan to us but most part of the people to insist in live a life based on people opinion what brings frustration, disillusionment  and in the end, all hope goes out!
If you face a time where your have no vitality or uplift to advance, it can be because until now you have lived your life to someone else to reach human expectation but i have to say, if you are living like that you are going to frustration, discouragement and depression. How many people do you know facing in their life or facing in some member family the depression disease? Many of them tried live a life in human ways, until they tried reach their own pattern and it was higher than they could reach and for this, they gave up!
Live to JESUS because He always want us the best and with HIS help we can reach great highest.

Be blessed

Under Pressure

God has blessed me with friends from various walks of life.

Some I see quite often.

Others I do not see nearly often enough.

One of the friends that I have made is a truck driver. Because he is on the road so often, I rarely get to see him.

I stopped to have coffee at a restaurant several weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised to see this friend there.

I took my coffee over to his table and asked if I could join him.

He readily agreed and offered a more than firm handshake developed from years of hard work.

We spent time catching up on what had been going on in our lives.

Suddenly, he broke out in a laugh and said, "I have a great story to tell you about what happened to a friend of mine."

He then proceeded to tell me about what happened to another truck driver that he knew.

It seems that this other truck driver was hired by a potato chip company to deliver their product to a different part of the county on the other side of the mountains.

This truck driver picked up his load of potato chips, drove over the mountains and delivered them to the warehouse that was waiting for them.

When he arrived at his destination, he opened the back of his truck and discovered that every single bag of potato chips had popped open.

At first, he was puzzled by this. After thinking about it, he realized what had caused every bag to burst.

It happened when he went over the mountains.

As the truck he drove gained altitude, the air pressure outside the bags began to drop.

Once he got high enough, the air pressure inside each sealed bag far exceeded the air pressure outside each bag and, as a result, each bag popped open.

We both had a laugh over this. Unless you had experienced it or someone warned you about it ahead of time, this is not something you were likely to anticipate.

"Is he still delivering potato chips?", I asked.

"Yes," he replied, "He just has to travel many extra miles and avoid any roads that go above a certain altitude."

As time went by, my thoughts returned to this account.

I found it more than interesting that it was the extra pressure inside the bags that caused this failure rather than pressure outside the bags.

That’s the way it is with people as well.

Sometimes it is external pressure, the kind of pressure that circumstances and others place on us, that make us feel as if we could burst.

That kind of pressure is easy to recognize.

Sometimes it is internal pressure,  the kind of pressure we place on ourselves, that takes us to the point of bursting.

That kind of pressure is not nearly as easy to recognize, especially if we allow it to build up slowly.

So, how do we relieve this pressure?

Start by putting God first. Put Him at the center of your life.

He not only deserves this, He expects it.

Exodus 20:3 (NET) - You shall have no other gods before me.

Remember, an idol does not have to be a carved image. It is anything, or anyone, we use to displace God from His rightful place.

Once we make God  the top priority in our lives, an amazing thing happens.

He helps us prioritize everything else.

Once we get our priorities in line with God’s will, we can count on His provision.

Philippians 4:19 (NET) - And my God will supply your every need according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Knowing this will help us to stop placing unnecessary pressure on ourselves.

Lifeline

When times are fairly easy and good, we tend to fall into the terrible habit of living from day to day as if God didn't exist and we didn't need Him anyway. We navigate through life's little challenges and problems with our own wits and our own goals in mind, and congratulate ourselves at the end of the day that we got through pretty well, all things considered.  That is, until our merry little boat is suddenly swamped by a huge, unseen wave of calamity--THEN we're painfully reminded of our vulnerability, our mortality, and the treacherousness of life, and cry out for help to the God whom we've so long taken for granted. What we usually fail to appreciate until much later is that being shaken out of our complacency is a good and healthy thing, as it tends to restore communication with the One whom we should have had leading us along every hour of every day, in good times as well as bad.

When we were born, we passed from our Creator's presence into a world of shadows and fog, illusions and half-light, mountains and chasms. At any moment in our lives we grasp only part of the truth, and must search for the rest, which may be obscured and distorted. Our intellect is limited, and we are distracted from pursuing what is true and right by the temptations of this world. We are discouraged by obstacles and may fall into a pit of confusion and despair, over and over again. How do we regain the road of hope and purpose? How do we discern the will of Him who made us, and secure His aid and comfort amidst the stresses and storms of life?

Prayer! It is our lifeline to God, our tether to the Eternal, our anchor in an endless ocean of trouble. Through it we repent of our waywardness and lay our lives at His feet. Through it we can pour out our hearts and seek guidance and support from our loving Lord. Through it we gain strength to fight the powers of darkness and to do God's will. Prayer is also the means by which we thank our Heavenly Father for all our countless blessings and for His help, and by which our souls sing His praises, as it should every moment. Prayer opens to us the light of God's truth and peace, and involves our Lord in every aspect of our lives and our doings here on earth. It is truly a stairway to, and from, Heaven.

This is how we were meant to walk upon the earth, our whole lives offered up as a prayer of supplication, consecration, thanksgiving, praise, and joy to our beloved Lord. In order to do this, as the Apostle Paul taught, we must “[p]ray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The formula is to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6,7)  The Savior himself said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." (Matt. 7:7-8)

What precious promises!  What better way to live one's life, every hour of every day, than in communion with the One who transcends all trouble and darkness, and whose light outshines anything and everything in this mortal world! Prayer is the key--be turning it ALL the time!

Ears who hear

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock." Matthew 7:24-25      

            We have difficult days where the chores, obligations and tasks in consume until the last minute. It all happens very fast and we haven't time to make decisions, often have no time to think, meditate, or reflect what the direction of God for us. For this increases our need for afinarmos our ears, so that we are sensitive to hear it all the time and are ready to obey him.

            The Bible frequently speaks to us with respect of good listener. And this is what hears, attentive and obeys because one thing is not knowing, another is knowing and not practicing.There is a philosophy that says that we learn more from mistakes. There is also a popular saying that says: "the fool misses and doesn't learn with your error, so it falls into the same mistake; the smart misses and learns his mistake; and the wise don't need to err to learn because it learns from the mistakes of others.The Bible is full of examples, stories with a beginning, middle, and end, of hits and mistakes. What else we need to hit in life?

            We need to be wise for us to obey the word without doubt, and so that we can review and learn from every example cited in the Bible. And where to find the true wisdom? The word teaches us that: "if any of you lacks wisdom, ask God, who gives to all liberally, and does not throw in face, and you will be given." Tg 1: 5
However, there is something that we must not forget: "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom ..." Pv to 9:10

            God is present in our lives at all times and ready to guide us in every decision we make. "When te Dodge to right or left, your ears will hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk in it" Is 30: 21. But we know that a lot of the times that we are suffering the consequences of a wrong decision that we take, usually accomplished by lack of understanding of the direction of God, or by the lack of obedience to his voice.

           God father wants us to constancy in intimacy that allows us to be one with him.
Therefore, our eyes, hands, feet, head, mouth, ears will him to carry out his plans and his will.And this is the real worship: our relationship with God. When we demean before him as our Lord and King, we open the channel by which it communicates with us and then we have the great opportunity to respond to it with our obedience.

CLOSE TO HIS HEART

It is only God that has to knock at the door (of our heart), (Rev. 3:20); for us, we just enter His heart… after all; we were never far away in the first instance.


God is always in Love with us. Whether we are the woman caught in Adultery, A thief on the cross, Lazarus who was dead for four days, a Leper-an outcast, peter who denied Him, Paul who persecuted Him, the disciples that abandoned Him… and as many demography we can come up with and even you and I whether we are at our lowest ebb or on top of our game… We are always close to His Heart.

One might ask, is God stupid, after all I have done and am doing as well as the intent of my heart… how can He still Love?

That is just Him. He has no explanation, no selfish motive, He just loves. The scripture said “God is Love” (1 John 4:16b). The same way we breathe is the same way He loves… in fact; this comparison is a very poor one when we really consider how much he loves us.

We are like to Him as our new born is to us. Our cry get his attention, our smile melt His heart, all the resources we need, He provided before we were conceived, every help we will need He provide in advance, and so many more. The difference is that He is more considerate, more perfect, has a better understanding, His perspective and view over our lives is complete…

We occupy so much of His heart to the extent He said categorically in His word and asked: “What will separate us from the Love Christ has for us...?” Roman 8:35-39 (God’s Word).

Friends, we are closer to His heart than we can ever imagine. Just let go and enter into His heart… after all, we are the apple of His eyes… Zechariah 2:8b (God’s Word)

Let Him Love you. There is no limit to what love can do and much more will His Love achieve in your Life.
YOU ARE VERY CLOSE TO HIS HEART.

Time, Choice and the choice of good things

Yes, one of the big problems of the 21st century is lack of the time. Ops, I think I'm wrong. lack of the time is not a 21st century problem, it is a problem that comes from before time start to be counted...
When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ - Luke 14
Believe it or not, many good people who are involved in doing wonderful things do not go to heaven. Worse, many who consider themselves Christians and are convinced that they are going to heaven but will be outside of it! - even though they are not involved in gross sin or any thing wrong!
The Christians of whom I speak not use drugs or alcohol. Do not play. Do not indulge in pornography or sexual perversion. Are not among those who are corrupt or vile. In fact, you can find many of them in church on Sunday morning. And they spend most of their free time with friends and family, enjoy nice things. They are people of family and family values.
Having said that, I wish to make an even bolder statement - which may offend some. However, I do so love interest for those in the church of Jesus Christ who can not see they are heading toward disaster: some are in danger of losing their own souls - even though they sat in the church, are absolutely convinced that the way the heaven !
My point is this: some believers will be shut out of heaven not because of the bad things they did - but because they were so anxious to do good things and legitimate to neglect the ones that really count: the eternal things.
Lack of the time is not about clock. Lack of the time is about CHOICE. Good people are loosing their place in the heaven and I am nothing talking about bad people, prostitutes or thief. People chose house, family...

These people are so busy with every detail of daily life, which literally have no time for the deeper things of spiritual life. They are giving their sweat to build their businesses, advance their careers, support their families - but the target of interest was completely out of order!
The Bible says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things shall be added" (Matt. 6:33).
These are words of Christ himself, and not a suggestion but a commandment. Jesus means what He says, "If you seek the Lord first, He will take care of all the things you have worked hard - career, business, home, family. But you must make him their number one priority ! "
The apostle Paul adds:
"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God" (Col. 3:2-3)
Please understand: God has never demanded that we all sell our houses, land and property, never said we need to quit our jobs and become monks, going to dedicate ourselves entirely to meditation and Bible study. (Yes, Jesus said this, but for one man - because this man's possessions had become their idols. God does not say this to everyone.)The greatest indignity that any Christian can commit against the Lord is to put him in a secondary position. This is a slap in the face of God. You may find that he is not guilty of such an affront to him - but how do you prioritize your time? For example, how many times have you missed church for the benefit of your business? On these occasions, there were customers who were waiting for - God was. They were put first, above his interests!

I understand that you can not help missing church if you have a job that prevents you from attending - if for example, a nurse or a night worker. But I'm talking about people who have a choice - those who run their own business, for example, and who choose to work instead of attending the house of God. The Bible warns:
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting one and all the more as ye see the day approaching" (Heb. 10:25).
"As the days of Noah, is also in the days of the Son of man, eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark and the flood came and destroyed everyone. same happened in the days of Lot: they ate, drank, bought, sold, planting and building, but the day Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. This is the day when the Son of man revealed "(Luke 17:26-30).
Look again at this list Jesus gives us, and consider the things that people did at that time. We know that there was violence as the world had never seen, along with gross immorality such as sodomy and homosexuality. But Jesus does not speak any of these things here. Nor does he mention alcoholism or perversion. Instead, note carefully what he says that people were doing just before the condemnation fall upon them: eating, drinking (but He does not mention drunkenness), getting married, engaged, buying, selling, planting, building. There is no sin in this list. All these things are good, legitimate.
Why, then, Jesus focuses on just the good, legitimate things people did in the days before the trial? It is because He is trying to tell us something vital:
He is warning us As Our total disregard his word to become completely absorbed by our own interests!
Think about it: The Bible never speaks a word saying that Noah was mocked, mistreated or persecuted during the 120 years he worked with the ark. Apparently, his work and his preaching were never interrupted. God is saying, "Yes, there was violence and corruption at the time. But the vast majority of the people were so busy doing good, legitimate, they had no time to reflect on the warnings of Noah Everyone was too busy to marry , out to eat, to get involved with friends and enjoy the pleasure, they had no time to listen. "
The preaching of Noah was lost in the midst of a great outrage Business!
I can write books and preach messages about coming judgments, however, with the exception of a small remnant of believers, just listen and keep my words. The masses of Christians do not care. Why? It is because they are involved in their own plans for marriage, children, home, job, career. Do not have time to listen to messages about the coming of the Lord!
"This will be the day when the Son of man is revealed" (Luke 17:30). Jesus is warning: "Shall the same as last generation.'ll Be so busy, so involved with their own interests, they will put aside all my interests!"
It has been for centuries. Many are convinced they are bound for heaven. But week after week, they neglect the house of God, the word of God, prayer, worship. However, this procedure is not sinful in his own eyes:
"... Why then, says my people ... will come no more unto thee? ... ... My people have forgotten me days without number. ... Yet you say I am innocent .. . " (Jerem. 2:31-31,35)
These people may be doing good, legitimate things - but the Lord is not the first for them! He is not the center of their lives. If he were, do not brush him aside. They would find time to be with him!
Did you give Jesus a partial acceptance?
You could say: "I have to earn my living. The Lord understands." Not so! He will never understand - nor ever accept - the fact we put the background in relation to someone or something.
This sin of putting family before the Lord is one of the sins most damaging in the Church today
I know housewives who find it difficult to go to church on Sunday morning, than do anything else. But during the week, they have time left to muck around! They are always running, doing something special for their children. They make time for dance classes, music for school functions, parties, picnics, sports, shopping. And the list keeps growing. But for the things of God, they think a short time. The incoming message is this: "My kids come first!"
I tell you, if you neglect the interests of God and put their children first, you cursed them! This is what happened with Hezekiah and Manasseh. The Lord gave Hezekiah fifteen more years of life, he should spend years bending to the Lord and bringing renewal to Israel. Instead, Hezekiah spent those years playing with adult toys, collecting jewelry, livestock, and building construction. The son he created during these years, Manasseh the father watched his toys and putting family first. The result? Manasseh became one of the most wicked kings in Israel's history.
What was the sin of the three men in this parable? It was the land, oxen and family interests all put aside the invitation to enjoy the intimacy and communion with you. Do not get me wrong: all the things they were doing was good and legitimate. But they became sinful - unforgivable - to steal your time these gentlemen and their reverence for the Lord!
If Jesus is not the apple of his eye - if you are not focused on Him, in His church in His word, His interests - you can not be His disciple. Better you be an outcast, to being so hypocritical!
Again I say, in love, many of you who are reading this message will not be able to - unless they make a commitment today:
"Lord, from this moment, I commit myself before Thee who will be the center of my life. Everything else will be secondary. You're everything to me, Jesus. And I know that, otherwise, everything else will be in vain ! "
Amen!

Family Matters

One of the saddest things one sees these days--and regrettably, one of the most prevalent--is the disintegration of families. In  western countries divorce is now rampant, to the point that stable, long-term marriages are a distinct minority of adult relationships. But even in "whole" families it is disturbingly common to see parents, children, and siblings (even as adults) deeply alienated from each other, always squabbling over things great and small, and doing their best to avoid meaningful contact. I know too many members of other families who live right around the corner from each other but haven't spoken in years, and some in which a sibling left home at the first opportunity and was never heard from again. in how many others do family members share little more than a mailing address, all caught up in personal pursuits and rarely, if ever, really talking to each other or sharing a meal around a table?

God instituted the family for many reasons, not least of which is to provide us with guidance, support, and comfort in times of trial, or just to enrich our day-to-day lives here on earth and make us happy. Family is where we are meant to teach, learn and practice commitment, caring, self-sacrifice, patience, faith, and love--all of which are vital to reaching our full potential here on earth, and to attaining eternal life with the Lord and each other in Heaven. Indeed, we should strive to make our families a microcosm or preview of Heaven itself--especially since, if you believe as I do, that we'll still be together as family in that beautiful world! Our material circumstances in this life may be meager, but our lives can be richer than any king's if we share love one with another.

Certainly this is not an easy task, but how could we grow without challenge and perseverence? No two or more human beings can live together in a small space without friction and some conflict. We're weak and fallible beings, and are bound to say and do things, now and then, that are hurtful or disappointing to our loved ones. So, repentance, patience, and forgiveness become a way of life in strong families. For them, love means ALWAYS having to say you're sorry--and always saying, "That's OK--I forgive you."  Faith and prayer are indispensable for all family members, and when shared hold them together like nothing else.

Scripture is such an important and inspiring guide in this work. The Bible is permeated with wisdom concerning families and their generations, and how they should live together (see, for example, Ephesians 5:22-33; 1 Peter 3:1-7). This wonderful passage condenses it into a nutshell (Colossians 3:18-21):

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

These lines immediately follow Paul's characterization of a true Christian (Colossians 3:12-17):

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

This is precisely the formula for making and keeping a strong family!

I was immeasurably blessed to have grown up in a loving, resilient family. Working together peacefully could be difficult, and we often had to ride out storms of conflict. But thanks to the teaching and good example set by our parents, we hung together and grew in love over the years. We learned what a strong family looks like and how to build and maintain one. My siblings and I are scattered about the USA now, but we've never been more "close" to each other. And I hope we're teaching our own children the same lessons.

If your family is less than what it should be, start rebuilding it TODAY: recommit to your spouse, reconcile with your children and with your own parents and siblings. Don't let ANY past wrong or hurt stand in your way. With a contrite heart ask forgiveness, and give it freely and eagerly. It's never too late to start over, on the right road. For the road to Heaven is paved with family love.

God bless you!

Make again and MORE ONCE!

       Romans 12:2 "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. "

                Hi guys! I'm here again to talk a little bit of what God has revealed to me daily, and my leaders will know exactly when reading this post, because it refers to something else in my church unless: renewal of MIND! 

                By dictionary, renew means making NEW, leaving the old thoughts. And for us also means to seek a new mind, according to the mind of Christ. Make no mistake, new converts are in process of change, but I and you that we already have a long relationship with the father, we also need to renew continuously.
                

                I want to give you a few reasons why there has to be this transformation:


1°- To experience God's will.
2°- To live in newness of life.
3°- To have the mind of Christ.

               Our thoughts reveal what we are and what we will be, consequently our thoughts cause excitement and emotion causes action. It's all a chain, so if our thoughts are not saints, our choices are not also. There is an easy test to do: THINK ABOUT the LAST TIME YOU had the FREEDOM to THINK ... WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WORD OF GOD? 

               There are some weapons that are extremely important to promote such renewal, these include: the Bible reading, prayer and constant practice, reading good books and talk with wise people. And the biggest brand that we are being renovated, is reflected daily in our lives.

Proverbs 23:7 – “For as he thinks within himself, so he is...”

                All our actions came of a primitive thinking, if we fail to control our thoughts, we will not be able to escape the traps of the enemy. Think different, think of how God would think and you will realize that your actions will change also. Adopt this lifestyle, called JESUS!

My Discovery

A thought ran through my mind recently during a meeting and further consideration opened my heart to something I have overlooked for a while.

Before I delve into that, may I ask, what is your initial response to a distress call from a friend or family or even anybody?

I don’t know how many people are like me but I can tell you that if I hear a distress call, most times, I put on my thinking cap- search for possible solutions begins. But recently I have improved to the point that I put in a word of prayer (of course after a short mental exercise…hmnnnnn). It is not that thinking is bad…God gave us the ability to think… it is His nature, it is the tool for creativity, but there is something more… that is applicable for all time and has never failed.

That was what crossed my mind and am changed. I see it every day, it has been said several times over but the Holy Spirit shed His light in my heart that I can have a permanent solution all the time no matter what betide. What am I saying, am saying that for every situation, circumstances, distress call, joyful call, praise time, prayer time, THE WORD OF GOD it is.

Whether someone is in need, give the word; someone is sad, share the word, someone is confused, send the word…. Whatever it is, the word is all that we need. JUST APPLY IT!

It has never failed, it does not expire, does not fade, it is not limited, no mountain is too high for the word, no valley is too deep either, “it is alive and active…” Joshua was encouraged to meditate on it (live on it), it was a lamp to David’s feet, and light to his path, and of course Jesus overcame the devil with it…

So for us in the end of time with all its challenges, temptations, perils, deceits, and every other thing that is peculiar to our generation and individual location, the Word of God it is…If we’ll just live on it, live by it, live through it, I know we will not just overcome, have an abundant life here but we will MAKE IT HOME TO OUR SAVIOUR AND MASTER.

"Take a Step Back to Take a Step Forward!"

Taking 1 step back at a time means a lot to God.  Taking a step back means to give God more attention out of your busy day.  It is easier than you really think!  Right now give God a "Thank U" for everything He has done for you.  Ask Him for His help in your life regarding anything you want or need.  God blessed us all with a free will and He is waiting for you to allow Him to act in your life.  Taking a step back can also include turning off the television and or radio and reading the Bible instead.  Getting away from all of the "complaining" and bad news that is being conducted will mean a huge positive difference in your life. Having some quiet and alone time with reading God"s Word opens up your life to receiving His direction for your life!

  God bless you!
