You are a light

How can you be a light unto the world if you seclude yourself from it and people? So what if someone's posts something that you don't agree with or is critical (please stop regulating your Facebook). Also, do what if people or family are alcoholics, have differing view points, use angry words, made mistakes, or whatever the case. How will the world ever see light, hope and love if the ones who believe He loved us first so we can love, shut them out!? How can you minister to the hurting if you pick up an offense. Maybe your judging them for the very same thing that's missing in you... The lack of awareness of the depths of His love and mercy! Walk a mile in His shoes... It will carry you throughout the world

70+ Promises/Scriptures to declare, speak over yourself and pray.

There are over 3,000 promises in the bible God has declared for us. So much about who we are and what He has for us can be found there. I've been through so many trials over a number of years,  and without learning about who He says I am and what some of His plans are for me, I may not have made it so far and still have a positive view. Even though storms may be around still, I have to train my mind to be obedient to truth. Here are some scriptual declarations that I pray over myself, and pray for others, or speak out loud as soon as I have a thought or feeling that is negative or the opposite. I encourage you to seek them out in the bible as well. I am a child of God. He is for me, who can be against me? He ,who is in me, is greater than he who is in the world. I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath I am a saint, not a sinner. I am righteous by faith. I am seated in heavenly places. He lifts me up out of the miry clay and sets me upon His rock. H...

Are you lukewarm? Do you trust in Him?

I think how much you trust Him is related to wether you're a "lukewarm" believer. I was thinking the other day of the "Oceans" song by Hillsong. I remember when  I first heard it, the day I was burying miscarried twins. A verse in the song sings,  " Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders Let me walk upon the waters Wherever You would call me Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander And my faith will be made stronger In the presence of my Savior".  It was definitely a time of my trust being stretched way beyond. Life has thrown some more curveballs and I'm finding I need to speak out loud that I trust Him. My mind could easily go to the worries and fears and play a movie in my head of the worst happening. Then I'll find myself depressed,immobile, and stressed. That doesn't help and I've learned that over the years so now when I start going there I speak out His word and glorify Him and put my trust in Him...

Hope

Hope is such a gift.  Where would any of us be without hope? How many stories have we heard of someone who took their own life. It's not because they were trying to be selfish, as many would say suicide is a selfish act. When someone thinks about ending it all to the point of taking their own life its because they were hopeless. They felt like there was nothing to hold onto, no possibilities that were full of hope. What about in marriage...when two people seek divorce? It means there was no hope. Not in the way of it just didn't have what it takes or it cant possibly work....but because no one was holding onto hope. The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him, says Lamentations 3:33. The bible is full of verses of hope. Hebrews 6:19 tells us that "we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure". Wow, in just one verse I can see the power of hope. An anchor for the soul. What does an anchor do? Wikipedia says "an a...
