Living with Courage and Hope

Feb11

We live in stressful times, around us and within sometimes.

Life is not restful like it used to be 30-40 years ago.

Situations and circumstances are challenging for many.

I would like to give you some encouragements from scriptures

I was inspired with today on BibleHub……one of the

best websites for building yourself up on God’s Word.

And we need to do this friends, each day. For those who

“don’t have the time” especially. We need to make time for reading

His words of Life for sustenance and strength.

From them often, can come healing-virtue, mentally, emotionally

and spiritually.

This can even benefit us physically. Neuroscientists report that

our thoughts do have a bearing on our health. Yes, the bible says that

“as a man thinks, so is he”.  We can think up a real storm sometimes

just by thinking too much.…

Everyone has a Ministry

Feb11

There is so much said about ‘The Ministry’ since the ninety’s I thought

I would address this topic one day. On the About Me page, you will see a mention of my ministry that is necessary now…..but I never introduce myself saying “My name is______ and I’m in the ministry” to people when I meet them (so to speak). Someone asked me the question today and I simply said “Yes” and then shared about us all having a ministry. 

You don’t have to be a Pastor or Evangelist to be used of God. There

are many ways we can serve The Lord and many giftings Jesus imparts

so we can. And it is exciting to see what He is doing in this Day.

There are spiritual giftings and natural giftings. Whatever your gifting is, you can be led of the Spirit just like a pastor or evangelist can.…

Building Confidence in God

Jan29

How Closely do you Know Him?

Confidence is about a person, it’s always about a person – not a theory or a technique. So build your confidence around the Person of God. Spend time in His Presence. This is the way we come to know Him. Acquaint yourself with Scriptures that speak of His Goodness, His Grace and Kindness.

Many of us need a clear picture of Him – situations and circumstances may have clouded our Image of Him. Even lots of sermons can do that. Especially if they don’t portray Him well. Don’t rely on someone’s impression of Him but rather press in to know Him and you will be GLAD YOU DID!

“SEEK TO KNOW ME, THAT’S ALL YOU HAVE NEED. SEEK MY DIRECTION AND

FOLLOW ME. FOR THERE I WILL LEAD YOU TO PASTURES GREEN

WHERE THE RIVER OF LIFE DOES FREELY FLOW”

(a song He gave me years ago)

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose trust the LORD is.…
