FAITH ACTIONS

REGARDLESS!

4-27-2023. . . .REGARDLESS!

"LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.  Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.  But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." (Ps 3:1-3 KJV)   

Regardless of what the enemy may think, say, or do, we decree and declare that God is our shield and our help!  Although at times, circumstances may cause our heads to hang down, our God will lift up our heads in vindication!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for being our very present help in times of trouble!  Touch, heal, and comfort now your people everywhere and may your glory be revealed. Amen!

Ps 46:1-6. . . .God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. 2 And so we need not fear even if the world blows up and the mountains crumble into the sea. 3 Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!  There is a river of joy flowing through the city of our God-the sacred home of the God above all gods. God himself is living in that city; therefore it stands unmoved despite the turmoil everywhere. He will not delay his help.  TLB 

.IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER!

 4-25-23. . . .IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER!

"Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind.  His life is the light that shines through the darkness-and the darkness can never extinguish it."  (John 1:3-5 TLB) 

Jesus our Savior, is our light giver! Our mind, heart, soul and spirit is illuminated daily with the light of eternal life.  We are not simply living out the days of our lives like sand through an hour glass.  Rather, like a fisherman casts out his line into the water and slowly draws it in again, so we have been cast into the sea of physical life and are being slowly drawn back into eternal life.  The closer we get, the brighter the light! Behold: things are getting brighter!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for giving us life and light! Illuminate us daily with the light of eternal life.  May each day we live get brighter and brighter!  Amen.

1 John 5:11-12. . . . This is the testimony in essence: God gave us eternal life; the life is in his Son.  So, whoever has the Son, has life; whoever rejects the Son, rejects life. 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

BE WISE!

 4-21-2023. . . .BE WISE!

"Say there!  Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink-even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine and milk-it's all free!  Why spend your money on food that doesn't give you strength?  Why pay for groceries that do you no good?   Listen and I'll tell you where to get good food that fattens up the soul!"  (Isa 55:1-2 TLB) 

There are some things that money just can't buy no matter how much of it one has!  The things that money can't buy are far more valuable then the things it can.  Money can buy temporal things, but not eternal ones.  Be wise and keep both in proper perspective!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for temporal things and the money to purchase them.  We are even more thankful for the things you give us that are eternal.  Help us to be wise and keep both in proper perspective.  Amen!

2 Cor 4:17-18. . . . For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.  KJV

.FORGIVEN AND NOT FORGOTTEN!

 4-20-2023. . . .FORGIVEN AND NOT FORGOTTEN!

"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  (Matt 27:46 KJV) 

God and sin cannot coexist.  Sin has and always will bring about separation from God!  No need to single out this sin over that sin, ALL unrighteousness is sin!  It was necessary for Jesus to be forsaken because He became sin for us although, He knew no sin.  Thankfully, He was forsaken, but not forgotten.  He rose from the grave with all power to save!  In our sins we are separated and forsaken. . . .In His Grace we are forgiven and not forgotten!

PRAYER:  Lord, how grateful we are for your grace!  Were it not for your grace, we would forever remain separated from you.  Where sin abounded however, your grace did much more abound!  Amen!

2 Cor 5:21. . . . For God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God's goodness into us!  TLB

IF WE TRULY WANT TO!

 4-18-2023. . . .IF WE TRULY WANT TO!

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us"(Heb 12:1 KJV) 

"The Sin". . . . that nagging thing that if continually allowed, will always take us down and hinder us from reaching and obtaining all God has for us.  Don't just pray about it, do something about it!  The power is within us to lay it aside if we truly want to; the real question is, do we truly want to?

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for making it possible for us to walk in righteousness.  May our desire to please you always over ride our desire to please ourselves.  Amen!

1 Chron 4:10. . . . And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. KJV
