Encouraging Christians

Whose plan is best - I mean the very bestest for your life of all the plans out there? Is it yours? Is it the world’s plan? Is it the devil’s plan? Is it God’s plan? God’s plan is always the very bestest. So why is it so hard for us to trust Him? Why is it so challenging to obey Him? Faith. Your faith. My faith. A faith that cannot be tested, cannot be trusted. Do you trust God? Do you trust your...

Can we be honest and address what is going on in our hearts between us and God? Do we have a real, open relationship with Him? Do we heed His voice and His warnings? Do we read His Word and believe/obey/practice what it says? Is it possible that He is waiting for you to be real with Him? Does He want a real heart to heart relationship with Him? Where do you start? Reach out to us at encouragingchr...

A real relationship with God means being open to His Voice and Obedient to His Word. A real relationship with God means addressing what is wrong inside your heart and aligning with Him through confession of sin, not self justification. Submit to God. Resist the devil. He will Flee. It’s God’s Word. It’s God’s formula. Cain didn’t obey God. Cain didn’t heed God’s warning. Cain did not get what he w...

We need to guard our hearts. We need to submit to God. We need to resist the devil. We need the results of that process in our lives. If we refuse to submit to God, don’t get mad when all the results or consequences of following the wrong process come into your life. Neither you or I can get mad at God for our own disobedience to Him and what it brings.

God wants a real relationship with you. Prayer is a real relationship with God. Are you guarding your heart with all diligence not to allow anything in it to hinder that?

Do you worship God as He desires or as you desire? Do you guard your heart and address the wrong in it when it appears? Do you want to be right with God? Do you correct your heart when He tells you something is wrong that needs correction?

Do you internalize the injustice or do you internalize the Biblical response? How do you keep or guard your heart? By your natural response or a supernatural response? Most of us haven’t crossed the bridge yet and genuinely guard or keep our own heart with diligence. So we pass judgment on others.

A real relationship is an open and honest relationship. Prayer Is A Real Relationship With God. That means when He is honest with you, open yourself up to what He says. He is right. He is always right. Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. We don’t always recognize the enemy at our hearts’ door. Therefore, we resist God, submit to the devil and live with the consequences. Where are yo...

You are now a pilgrim. You are passing through this world to spend eternity with your Heavenly Father who has an inheritance reserved for you. While you are here you are being kept (guarded militarily) by Him. You are kept by the power of God. You have been born again. You have a living hope. You have a new home-Heaven. Please let us know if you have received help from this podcast. Write us at en...

God’s power is actively guarding you and I as believers right now, His love for us doesn’t change, His protection of us doesn’t change, what He has prepared for us doesn’t change. God loves you.

For suffering Christians remember: What God has prepared for you is fundamentally different from everything your persecutors can take away from you.

According to His abundant mercy He hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! Have you experienced this POWER? If you have not yet been born again spiritually and placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, and would like help, please reach out to us at encouragingchristians@gmail.com Let us help you know God as your Savior. Please don’t dela...

Peter doesn’t begin his letter to these scattered, suffering, persecuted believers focused on sin, suffering, or themselves - he focuses on the Savior. How often do you?

Precious Fruit! What is God doing in you through the suffering you are enduring right now? The precious fruit He is growing in your spirit and soul is of much greater value than the suffering pain you are enduring. Look to the Savior. Trust His process. Trust His plan. He is very empathetic and is tenderly merciful. Have you seen the end of the Lord’s plan in this section of your life? No. Be pati...

Patience. Do you have it? How can you get more? God’s Process. Is God working a process in your life?

Suffering? Or Savior!

Run. Run. Run your Race!

Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.

A Believer who must always be comfortable will eventually compromise when obedience becomes uncomfortable.

Run your race. Lay aside the weight of fear which causes you to desire to protect yourself rather than moving forward by faith and trusting God.

Stay faithful to the Lord. Don’t let spiritual discouragement keep you from God’s reward for you.

Stay in the saddle even when it’s uncomfortable. Keep running forward. What is God developing in you. Keep in the learning seat and let Him work. Don’t bolt.

How are you running your race in the sight of the gray cloud of witnesses?

Getting saved by faith. Becoming God’s eternal child by faith. Walking with God by faith. God leads us all by faith on the path He designed for us.

Focusing on Jesus is the answer to our issues we face today as believers. Jesus is phenomenal. Jesus endured the cross, despised the shame of it, but completed His race that the Father laid before Him. What a Savior! Are you focusing on Jesus today as you run your race? Let us help you.
