Is God With You….

-

Genesis 21:22 ……. God is with you in all that you do. (NKJV)

When King Abimelech and the Chief Captain of his army Phichol encountered Abraham at the well they had a dispute over, even these two men recognized that God was with Abraham. Even though a conflict was involved, Abraham remained solid and reflected strength and courage in the process (Joshua 1:9). He did not waver. It was clearly evident that God was with him.
When we encounter trials and tribulation in the presence of others, is God still evident in your life in the process? If not, we need to evaluate where we are and how this can be fixed. We need to reflect Christ in all we say and do. When things get tough or become hard, we do not need to shove Christ aside and handle it in our own way. That is a recipe for disaster.
James 4:10 reflects how we should handle difficult situations in life. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (NKJV). We simply cannot handle life on our own.
When we encounter situations, especially in front of someone else, we need to constantly be aware that Satan will do his best to humiliate us and turn our testimony to a slippery slope causing us to fail and to fall in the process, even compromising our testimony in Christ. This can result in our running for cover when conflicts arise. We need to remember that God is with us in all that we do. We can rely on His presence for the Holy Spirit dwells within us if we know Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Key Thought: God’s Word, the Bible, is the greatest resource we can include in all our encounters with others. The more we read and study His Word, the more familiar we are with ways of handling life and God becomes more reflective in our lives to others for the cause of Christ.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, Guide me to open Your Word on a regular basis and to read and study with great intention showing me how I can reflect you more naturally with ease of heart through the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name I pray! AMEN!!!
God’s plan for our lives
His desire for us to know Him:
I Timothy 2: 1-4
What God did for us:
John 3: 15-18 (16)
What we can do to accept Him as our Savior and have eternal life:
Romans 10: 9-10, 13
Commit your life to Him today. You will never be the same.
Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day!!!
In Christ,

Two Mind Sets

Two Mind Sets Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. (NIV) Today’s verse shows the struggle that occurs between two great forces. We are physically born into this world with a sinful nature, but when we are born again as a new person in Christ, we are given the distinct advantage of the power of the cross. Yet even with this great resource available to us as believers it can be quite difficult to live in accordance with the Spirit . Often, we fail to use these great resources available to us because we simply do not ask for God to intervene in times of trials and tribulation. He wants us to call on His name to help us in growing as believers in Christ. The key here is to recognize the sinful nature so that you know when the temptations of old arise and can dismiss Satan with a single comment. Jesus was tempted in Matth...

Eye Has Not Seen

Eye Has Not Seen 1 Corinthians 2:9 “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (NKJV) What would happen if you stopped and took notice of the things God has prepared for you in the past as well as the future? We are not a complicated creation to Him, but we are very complicated to us. He created us and the plans He has for us are geared to our character which He created. Let’s face it folks, we are the ones who mess things up. Let’s stop, sit down with the Word of God, and thank Him first, then open that conversation with Him. He waits for that interchange. We stop the conversation with Him with an AMEN!!! I challenge us to open God’s Word and begin our prayers. He knows your heart in advance. Ask God to put it together for you so you can be better prepared for what He has planned. His preparation is His Word, the Bible. I know some folks who did this and they became so overwhelmed at God mo...

Our Willing Savior

Our Willing Savior Matthew 8:2-3   A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, “Lord if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man ,  “I am willing,”   He said. “Be clean!”    Immediately he was cured of leprosy.  (NIV) This remarkable story of healing is powerful. But I would like for us to focus on the phrase stated by Jesus: “ I am willing,”   These few words are often overlooked on their own as a statement in themselves, but they speak volumes of what Jesus desires to do for us.  He is willing . He does not negotiate terms, He simply loves and guides us daily when in our hearts, we truly want more and more of Him.  Key Thought: He is willing to always give more of Himself to us than we can ever imagine. Today, let us start with this request. “Lord if you are willing” …… Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, Give me Your peace, in Your time, that I may share...
