Know Him More

4/26/2017

 
Knowing God is not framed in a limited intellectual knowledge nor does it mean knowing all that there is to know about God, or even knowing enough about Him. Knowing Him is a continuous and intimate relational education facilitated by the Holy Spirit. May we never opt out to pursue a lesser degree.

Philippians 3:10 0 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Perfectly Placed

4/25/2017

 
Trust in Christ is not an oversimplification. It is perfectly placed confidence in the ability and integrity of the One who equips me with courage to walk through every dark Valley, to climb every mountain, and who possesses the power to move the mountain when He righteously chooses to do so.

Psalm 119:116
Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

The Fragrance of Kindness Lingers

4/24/2017

 
Ephesians 2:7
that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Truth

4/23/2017

 
Truth not only maps the path. It awaits at the destination.
John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Poor Me! Really?

4/22/2017

 
Refuse to insult God's workmanship by living with a victim mentality. Blaming others for our own toxicity is a waste of good air that could be better used acknowledging God for His Goodness. If the Devil hands me a hammer and I use it to hit myself over the head why should I blame him?

Job 2:9-10
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Love Beyond Degree

4/21/2017

 
There are no degrees adequate to confer upon those who love others. As Jesus loves beyond degree, He transforms our hearts that we might do the same.
​
1 Timothy 2
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, ...........

What are your beliefs?

4/20/2017

 
My beliefs do not determine what God has spoken. What God has spoken form the substance of my beliefs.
​
Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Spiritual Excellence

4/19/2017

 
Spiritual excellence is not a ceiling. It is an Open Door to greater opportunity within God's plan. (The Holy Spirit within produces excellence.)
​
Daniel 6:3
​3 Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.

The Door

4/18/2017

 
Jesus is the door through which people can enter into a grace relationship with God and one another.
​
John 6:37
37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

John 10:9
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

Questions and Exclamations

4/16/2017

 
Today, tomorrow and forever are not ​QUESTIONS???; because of What He did they are EXCLAMATIONS!!
