ONLY BELIEVE!

11-30-2009. . . .ONLY BELIEVE!

Belief is the first step in faith. Nothing will happen if we don't believe it can, but when we believe, we open up and access a whole realm of unlimited possibilities. "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23 KJV) Today, remove all the restraints and cast out all your fears and anything that hinders you from accessing the realm of unlimited possibilities. Only Believe!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the ability to believe. With this ability I access you realm of unlimited possibilities for my life. Amen!

Isa 7:9b. . . .If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. KJV

It spite of the difficulties, troubles and trials that life brings our way, God always brings us through with joy. Weeping endures but joy emerges! As a result, thanks and praise will continually be in our mouths!

O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever." (Ps 30:11-12 KJV)

Prayer: Lord, I will forever give you thanks a praise because you are awesome! You turn all my life's sorrows into joy! Thank You! Amen.

"Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people." (1 Chron 16:8 KJV) It is important that we always give thanks to God! It is equally important that we share with others the great things He has done. In so doing, others are drawn into awareness of Him and many shall be converted and believe!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for all things. As I call upon you I also call upon others to know you and praise you for your great and might acts. Amen!

Ps 18:49. . . .Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.KJV

THANKS-THE WILL OF GOD!

11-23-2009. . . .THANKS-THE WILL OF GOD!

Giving thanks to God in everything is God's will concerning us. "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thess 5:188 KJV) Admittedly however, we may find ourselves in circumstances and situations where we may not readily feel thankful to be in. In fact, we'd prefer not even having to deal with them. Nevertheless, the knowledge that God is working in every situation and circumstance for our good, is cause enough to connect with His will concerning us and simply give thanks. Don't fight it, flow with it and give thanks!

Prayer: Lord, in everything I give you thanks for it is your will concerning me. Help me in the difficult times to remember this quickly so as to not struggle against your will. Amen!

Ps 30:11-12. . . . You turned my wailing into dancing;you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever. (NIV)

DON'T REJECT IT, EMBRACE IT!

11-20-2009. . . .DON'T REJECT IT, EMBRACE IT!

Many are called but few are chosen. We have been called and chosen for 'Holiness!' "For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit. (1 Thess 4:7-8 NIV) Don't reject it, (Holiness) but with joy, embrace it!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for calling us unto holiness. With great joy I embrace it and walk proudly in it. Amen!

Luke 1:70-75. . . .As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. KJV

GO FOR THE GUSTO!

11-19-2009. . . .GO FOR THE GUSTO!

We may be somewhat reluctant to admit it, but when we were in the world and of the world (sinners) we gave it our all. We went proverbially, for the 'gusto'. In like manner, having been saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost; having been called from death unto life we should go for the full gusto of Holiness! "For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life." (Rom 6:20-22 KJV) Go for the gusto!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving us everything that pertains unto life and to godliness! With this blessing we go for the full gusto of holiness with the end result of eternal life with you! Amen.

Rom 6:20-23. . . . In those days when you were slaves of sin you didn't bother much with goodness. And what was the result? Evidently not good, since you are ashamed now even to think about those things you used to do, for all of them end in eternal doom. But now you are free from the power of sin and are slaves of God, and his benefits to you include holiness and everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. TLB
