Let Your Journey Begin

Do you put all of your energy into the gathering of wealth, property, cars or club memberships?  What happens when trouble comes and all of your hopes and dreams are lost?  Put your trust in the Lord! The Holy Spirit will guide you into the perfect will of God! It is in His will that you will find perfect peace and joy! 

Jesus promised to give us rest for our souls. Take up His yoke of forgiveness, love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control!  When you take up His yoke of faith, you will find that His promises are true.

If we don't teach our children the ways of The Lord, the world will teach them current trends and beliefs.  And, like the generations of old, we will fall further and further out of the will of God. If we are ever to survive as a people on this earth, we must teach our children the truth. 

Who is God calling you to be?  He already knows your strengths, gifts and purpose and He is calling you to rise to your fullest as a human being!  Pray that your eyes, ears and mind are opened to understand how important you are in the kingdom of God.  He has great plans for you. 

Without faith, we have nothing.  You only need faith the size of a mustard seed, but it must be strong and deeply rooted in His Word and promises. Be strong and courageous knowing The Lord will be with you wherever you go! 

In times of trials and trouble, The Lord your God is always with you.  You will never be alone. 

Trust the Lord when He tells you that all will be held accountable for their wrong doings.  In His timing, He will avenge.  

A wonderful spiritual truth is the blessing you will receive when you praise God in good times and in bad times!  No matter your circumstances, praise His Holy Name!

To enter the Promised Land, the Priests had to put their feet in the flood waters of the Jordan River.  When they were obedient, the waters stopped to allow the people to cross over on dry land.  The miracle didn't happen until the priests were obedient.  What is God calling you to do?  The miracle won't happen until you are obedient. Don't lean into your own understanding but...

Church is not something to be watched on a television. Church is the gathering of God's people to worship and serve Him through the ministries He puts on our hearts.  If you've gotten use to staying home during COVID - it's time to come back to church.  We need you and God needs you too.

Times are tough today and we are called and placed in situations to share the love and compassion of Christ. Think about your situation and where He has placed you.  It may be trying but perhaps He has called you to that place 'for such a time as this.' 

Jesus prayed that we would be unified as one! We must stop any division or infighting! Stand together on the Word of God! Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself1 

Mentioned over 365 times in the Bible, the words 'Fear Not' are relevant today.  God knew we would face situations where we would be uncertain and afraid.  Stand in the truth of His Word.  The scriptures cannot be broken.  God knows what you are facing and will walk with you through any situation you encounter.  Don't be afraid.

We live in a dark and fallen world! What can we do?  We can push back the darkness with kindness and compassion! We can shine the light of Christ!  His light always overcomes darkness! Never give up hope! Keep shining His light! 

There are many great stories of powerful men in the Bible, but never forget the power and purpose of the women who ministered to Jesus and His disciples as they traveled spreading the good news of God's Kingdom! 

Take time to seek Jesus! Be still and know He is God! The world will try and distract you with all kinds of worries but be firm in your faith and seek first the kingdom of God knowing He will supply all your needs.

The Spirit clearly says that some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits.  If anyone ever teaches or preaches anything that goes against the Word of God, they are a false teacher.  Be aware in these last days.  Study the Word of God and prepare yourself for any deception. 

While there are many stories written about men in the Bible, never forget the power and purpose of the women behind the scenes! 

How many have struggled with a battle that belonged to The Lord? Surrender your fears to God Almighty.  Learn to trust and let go and let God! 

Make no mistake!  The Lord our God knows the desires of our hearts.  He knows the answers to our prayers before we even ask Him. 

Become aware of all the sounds of life that surround you.  That life is the Great "I Am"! 

Abraham's servant prayed for God to give him a sign that he would find the right woman to marry his son.  And before he finished praying, Rebekah showed up at the well!  Your prayers are heard.  God knows your requests before you even ask. Trust in the Lord.

God knows our troubles whether past, present or future. He also asks us to give Him our cares and concerns. We are to cast all our cares on Jesus.  When you are afraid or worried, ask God to help you release your concerns and rest in His almighty power. 

We are all human and fall easily into fear and worry. But our Lord Christ wants us to cast all our worries on Him.  He will take care of us.  All we have to do is believe!

Are we living a life pleasing to The Lord? He promises to be with us and delight in us when we live a life that pleases Him.  He even told us He would not let us fall when we stumble but would hold us with His mighty hand!
