Encouraging Christians

Are you stirred to witness to people around you?

Paul won people to the Lord through his witness

Elijah prayed and the heavens closed up from rain or dew. He prayed again and it rained. His prayers moved Heaven. Do yours?

If you and I were as close to God as Elijah was, would we impact our world for God to the degree that Elijah did?

Our God, Jesus, Yahweh, Jehovah, is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is the God of miracles today. Do you believe He is?

Lord, Save me!

Coping Mechanisms such as prayer, Bible study, journaling can be beneficial to helping you grow. Others such as alcohol, drugs, addictions can damage you and keep you from becoming emotionally mature. God will help you and be present with you. Will you lean on Him?

Emotional Overload? How do we handle it? Coping Mechanisms. What are your favorites? Have you grown through them yet?

Cancel Culture was a habit of the Pharisees, not of Jesus. Christians who practice “cancelling” people in some way are not following the Spirit of God and aligning themselves with Jesus and the Word of God. Please avoid this trap from the enemy.

Redemption means being bought back from slavery - spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and morally. Have you been redeemed? Do you live like it?

Faith is not the absence of struggle. Every one who believes in God and follows Him by faith wrestles with surrender in some area.

Gideon had faith, but it was fragile. God met Gideon and God grew Gideon’s faith. Can He do the same with you?

Is your life about self-indulgence or are you motivated to invest in others and fulfill your calling?

Nebuchadnezzar had so lifted and built himself up that he had a 90 foot tall statue of himself made and caused others to bow down to it. When he fell, he fell hard. Only God could pick him back up after he became humble. Don’t be so proud that God has to knock you down to get you to become humble.

What was God’s last Word of instruction or direction to you? Have you obeyed it? Who all has been impacted by your obedience?

God uses trials and difficulties we endure to unlock potential blessings in us to impact others. Trials can produce growth in parenting, marriage, and ministry to others. What is God unlocking in you as you go through your trial right now?

Trials are not what anyone desires or wishes for. Yet, God uses trials to set us up for blessings to future generations. How is God using your trial in your life? How will God use the fruit He is producing in you now to bless others?

God allows trials (fires) to remove sin, pride, and fear, preparing our hearts for growth, maturity, and blessings. Life challenges, even traumatic, painful ones, are opportunities for character refinement and spiritual maturity.

New wounds. Old wounds. Spiritual wounds. Emotional wounds. Life choice/decision wounds. Many physical wounds. Jesus heals our wounds. Do you have any wounds you need Him to heal today?

Do you practice Fasting as a believer? Do you walk with God? Do you want to walk with God more intimately? Do you want to have a greater impact for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom? Will you incorporate fasting into your Christian experience?

Believers who are walking with Jesus have a warm temperature that continually rises. Are you walking with Jesus today as you should be? Do you need to ask yourself, What’s Wrong With Being Lukewarm?

We are commanded in Scripture to be Holy as God is Holy. That means keep ourselves free from defilement. Our minds, our eyes, our mouths, our hearts, our lips, our choices. Do you say things that are defiling? Do you think thoughts regularly that are defiling? Do you keep your self clean and pure to the best of your ability? Do you try to defile others? Have you been defiled?

Are you willing to lay yourself before the Father and yield completely over to Him today?

What does your Spirit-Filled path look like for you today? Sharing the good news of the gospel? Carrying your cross? Helping your spouse through pain? Endure suffering? Jesus went to the cross Spirit-Filled— 100% God and 100% man. He surrendered to the Father’s will. Are you?
