Words of encouragement

We are not to manage or learn to live with our fleshly (carnal) desires...we are to crucify or kill them....giving no room for their influence in our lives!

God tests our hearts and mind because He loves us and wants us nowhere near being religious robots who spout vain words as prayers thinking they will reach His heart.

Even though we can see miracles, we can't fully understand what took place without the mind of Christ fully functioning within us.

God is fierce in His desire for our time and attention...so much so, He periodically inserts His course corrections for our lives in the form of judgement.

Don't try to understand God's word with your carnal mind, it's an enemy of God, rather, as believers rely on the mind of Christ in us, to understand God's will for our lives.

Jesus is the Bread of Life...We need Him like we need food to survive, only this Bread provides eternal life to all who listen and obey His word.

Our carnal mind cannot understand the things of God...that's why He gave us the mind of Christ.

God hears our prayers anytime, but He seems to appreciate when we add a passion to our prayer and an expectancy He will provide the answer!

Forget the lies... the truth of the matter is Jesus Loves You and God has a plan for your life! That being said, let's live life to the fullest, in the power of His love!

As we spend more and more time with the Lord in our secret place (just us and God alone), we begin to take on His glory, like Moses did after meeting with God.

We say we want to draw close to the Lord, but He wants to make sure our heart is really in it... He has no desire to fellowship with hypocrites.

Like gold tested by fire, our faith is tested by God periodically to give us patience when confronted by various trials.

What is your gift? What are you good at without much effort? These gifts are God-given and are most effectively used for His service!

The bible tells us we can know our heart's condition, whether good or evil, by listening to the words we speak...

Let's use laser intensive focus on Jesus as we live to fulfil His 1st commandment to love God with all that we have!

What is keeping us from Loving the Lord, our God, with ALL our heart, ALL our soul, All our mind, and ALL our strength?! Whatever it is, repent and get rid of it!

Think of it: God, as the creator and sustainer of the universe, loves to spend time with us individually and corporately in church!

Trust in people is very fragile because they are not perfect! Whereas, God urges us to wholeheartedly trust in Him!

To have a shot of living this life as God intended requires a mind focused on God and His plan for us, instead of trying to please ourselves or other people.

Don't let it take a near death experience or two to inspire you to draw near to God... not run away!

Let's get off that rat race circle of ungratefulness and be thankful for all things...even the hard times...the alternative leads only to one sad life!

When confronted with a major problem in life, Nehemiah teaches us to take a moment to humble ourselves, pray and seek the Lord's answer before we try to solve the issue on our own!

Did you know your bible is like a stick of dynamite! It may get dust-covered and hidden after a while, but when it's fuse is lit with our faith, it still has the power to change everything!

As this world grows darker morally, the light of Christ will only grow brighter within those who walk in the Light even as He is in the light...

As Christians who long to be closer to God, we have an inward desire to be clean from sin...in fact, it's in our spiritual DNA!
