Let Your Journey Begin

Be aware that when you speak God's written truth, some people will push back against you.  Be strong and courageous and never be afraid to speak the truth in love. 

In times of loss, follow the example of Jesus.  When John the Baptist was killed, Jesus withdrew to a solitary place where I expect He prayed and leaned into God for support and comfort.  But then, when He saw the crowds that followed Him, He had compassion on them and healed them.  We can learn from His example.  In times of sorrow, pray to God for comfort and then share that comfort with those in need around you. 

There is such turmoil in the world today and so many of us fear the unknown in our lives.  Seek first to know Jesus. Seek His will for your life.  By having  a relationship with Him and staying in His will can bring peace and comfort to your soul. 

There is a wonderful book 'The Practice of the Presence of God' by Brother Lawrence that has given me a deeper insight of living and moving with God throughout my day. Let us go throughout our days in thanks and praise for His loving compassion and care for each of us  Let us always be aware of the presence of God. 

So many times, we don't understand what is happening to us. When we don't hear from God, know that He hears us.  Get into His Word.  Read and remember His promises to you.  And always, stay in His perfect will.  

If ever in doubt, get into the scriptures.  God's written Word on the page was intended to remind you of things to come so that you never forget!

If ever you doubt God, get outside and look at all the beautiful and majestic seasons, colors and sounds of His creations.  He has left that testimony of Himself for you and for me! 

Over tithes and offerings, God desires our hearts.  The scriptures tell us that to do good, share with others, confess and praise the name of our Lord Jesus Christ are the sacrifices that most please God.  Hebrews 13:17

God warned Ezekiel that he would hold him accountable if he did not rebuke the sins of man.  We can be silent no more.  We will be held accountable. 

We claim to be Christians and yet live in fear and insecurity.  We have the form of godliness buy deny its power.  It's time to stand on God's Word and live out the life He fully intended for us. Believe in His promises! Live in and with His great power in your life!  

I have never felt more that God is calling us to speak the truth in love! We are to speak light into darkness.  Just as God told Paul not to be afraid but keep spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, He is also calling on us to do the same.  We are not alone.  God is with us.  

Good works or following certain rules won't get us into heaven! We must love God with all our hearts and love our neighbors as ourselves! Accept God's Son as your savior. Repent and turn from anything in your life that pulls you away from the holiness of God. 

The Lord desires our hearts over any tithes and offerings.  He wants a relationship with each of us so He can share His great love and compassion.  In return, He asks that we praise and thank Him! Let us live as examples of a people of faith! 

If you ever hear 'You're no good." or "You can't do anything right." -  know in your heart and mind that it is not from the Lord your God. The Lord loves you. You are wonderfully made in His sight. Speak out against any darkness that tries to separate you from God! 

Pray for the courage to be strong and stand up for the Word of God! He will hold each of us accountable.  

We live in a troubled world but make no mistake, we were chosen to live for such a time as this! God has placed us here to help spread the good news of Jesus Christ! How blessed we are that He trusts us! 

Remember in these last days to stand firm in the righteousness of The Lord! Stand firm if you have to stand alone! The majority can be wrong. Do not be lead astray but keep steady by believing in the Word of God! 

Anytime you begin to doubt the Lord your God, remember all the wonderful miracles He has already performed in your life! Look back and see that the Lord has been good to you! Never doubt! He will never stop loving you! 

Never lose hope in what God has promised you!  He will never break His promise to you! He loves you and will always be with you! 

When you live a life of sin, how does it benefit you? What good comes from living out of the will of God? I can tell you from personal experience, I did not benefit one single thing from a life of sin. Stay in the will of God to discover true peace and joy!
