Let Your Journey Begin

Like Jonah, if we run from God,  Satan will always be there to help us alone! No prosperity, peace or purpose will ever come to a life without God.  Stay in God's will and obey His commands. Greater is He in us than he who is in this world! 

There is a reason that we were born at this time and in this place.  God chose those whom He could trust to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. He know there would be such a time as this. Consider yourselves His chosen ones! 

My prayer is that God would call each of us His friends.  It is my hope that by His knowing our hearts, He would call us 'righteous'. Lord, we live to repent from our sins and follow you until you take us all home! 

The scriptures tell us to be vigilant as there will be false teachers to lead us astray! Stay alert and always be in the Word of God to know His will and His ways for your life! 

Are we so insignificant in our fight to spread the gospel that the demons don't even know our names?  I pray that they tremble at the thought of us getting up and heading out the door! Lord, give us courage to fight the good fight! We will never stop fighting for you!

The Apostle Paul was willing to be bound in chains for the salvation of Israel.  Are we willing to suffer the consequences of spreading the gospel for the salvation of our fellow man? Lord, we pray so! Give us the strength to shine your light in the darkest of places! We are willing to do the work!

Our nation is in a moral free fall.  Just like the ancient prophet, Elijah, we must stand courageously and speak the Word of God!  We can no longer be complacent and say nothing about what is happening to our children in our schools.  Be a modern day Elijah and speak light into darkness! Even if you stand alone, take a stand for God's truth!

Don't think of the church as a building but think of it as the people inside who come together to worship and pray to the Lord God! If you are only going to church to hear a sermon and then go home, you are missing out on so much! Join a church family to be encouraged and supported in these last days! 

The scriptures say that we will know you by your fruit.  In other words, we will know you are a Christian by the way you live your life. When you truly know and accept Jesus, your life will change.  Jesus can set you free from depression, anxiety, addictions and despair.  Jesus can and will bring you peace.  Accept Him today as your Lord and Savior and watch your life change.

Stand strong for the Word of God! Don't be afraid to speak up and speak out on anything that goes against His Word. Have courage to do all that He asks you to do! Work wholeheartedly for The Lord! 

In times of despair, turn to the Lord your God! Cry out to Him and then remember who He is and what He said He would do! Trust in the Lord your God! He will never break His promises to you! 

When you put your trust in Jesus, His perfect peace comes into your heart. Trust in the Lord your God. 

Do not let anyone convince you that all ways lead to heaven.  The Bible is clear that Jesus is the only way to the Father. We must pray for all those to know this great sacrifice and ever lasting love. 

Jesus warned us of wars and rumors of wars and told us not to be alarmed. Stand strong and trust in the power of the Lord God Almighty!  We cannot lean into our own understanding but live everyday in faith and hope! 

Just as the Holy Spirit fell upon the disciples - let it fall upon us! Lord, send us out to speak in a language that your people can understand! And let us be of one accord as we love and build Your church! 

There is a wonderful story in Matthew about a donkey and her colt being tied in a location ahead of Jesus and His disciples.  The Lord knew where they were and sent two disciples to untie them and bring them to Him.  He needed them.  Are you tied up in a particular area of your life?  The Lord can untie you.  He needs you and can set you free.  

Look around at all the things that God has provided for you.  When we tithe our money, we have to remember it's His money that He gave us in the first place!  We are all just renters on this earth until He calls us home! Give thanks everyday at all His great blessings on your life. 

If you ever feel down and discouraged, remember all that the Lord your God has done for you! He will always love us and forgive us whenever we  forget all of His great promises! 

Who was this King David who was known as a man after God's own heart? What can we learn from him? One thing is clear: tho he sinned, David repented of his sins and turned to God for forgiveness.  The Lord knows our hearts, loves us and wants us to come to Him. Let us be known as women and men after God's own heart.  

What behaviors hinder our prayers and petitions to God? We must make a conscious effort to live in a manner that strengthens our relationship with God so that our prayers are not hindered but presented before the throne of The Almighty.
