LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT "EPH. 5:11-21" (GODS WORD TRANSLATION)
11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
“Wake up, O sleeper,rise from the dead,and Christ will shine on you.”
15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,
20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
21Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

FITTING IN
FITTING IN
FINDING A CHURCH THAT IS PERFECT FOR US SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. Every church has something we dont like.Certain attitudes,beliefs,peoples gifts not being recognized. We struggle to fit in.God wants us to fit together.A church is a dwelling place in which we come together on earth to grow in our Father ways.We are the building blocks who must come together in one mind. Its not the church,its the people who MUST WORK AT FITTING IN MORE PERFECTLY AS BROTHERS AND SISTER IN JESUS CHRIST. JESUS LOVE CREATES THE UNITY IN THE MIDDLE OF DIVERSITY. WE MUST STAY OBEDIENT TO GODS WILL ALWAYS. DO NOT FEAR,GOD IS IN YOU,NOT A BUILDING. HIS TEMPLE IS OUR BODIES. Take care .Have a blessed day. And know that JESUS & I Love You & its nothing You can do about it! :-)

WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES.....WHY?
WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES.....WHY?
Why do we say we love God but do all the things that He hates? Why do we call ourselves Christians when we sin more than the atheist do? Are we who we say we are? Or do we just obtain a title without expectations of performing our responsibilities????

Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction
Our bible is a spiritual navigation for our journey through life.All scripture comes from God. It is our instruction to life and righteouness. The choices that detour us from Jesus are not to be taken lightly. Failure is seldom fatal so If we drift off of course theres no better time then right now to seek Gods way. We need Gods guidance,and His love as we trust Him to lead us on the right path. We must trust Gods direction and live according to His will. Have a blessed day and remember "Christianity" is not a religion,but its a "lifestyle"!!

"O God, You are my God, earnastly I seek You." (It is only when we are wholly surrendered to the Spirit that we wil be able to live according to God's will.)
God is God whether you serve Him or not,God is God all by Himself..So why not chose to serve Him & be rewarded instead of going against Him & His Will & getting punished ?

THE HIGHWAY OF THE UPRIGHT IS TO DEPART FROM EVIL : HE THAT KEEPETH HIS WAY PRESERVETH HIS SOUL. PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION AND A HAUGHTY SPIRIT BEFORE A FALL.. BETTER IT IS TO BE OF A HUMBLE SPIRIT WITH THE LOWLY THAN TO DIVIDE THE SPOIL WITH THE PROUD - PROVERBS 16:17-19 KJV - GOD BLESS MY FRIENDS AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Are you hungry?
Are you hungry?
We as followers of Jesus must be eager to recieve spiritual food. WE MUST BE LIKE NEW BORN BABYS. Hungry to get the word. Do we need to be reminded of our need for spiritual nourishment? Our need is on going & without the word we will become spiritually weak. Open up wide because God is eager to feed us. He satisfies our needs for truth. He feeds us daily with his living word and grace. He has an endless supply of 'Soul'food. Lets not neglect to feed our souls. 'Meditate' on the word daily. Have a blessed day.

Focusing on God helps us to take our eyes off of our problems. Our love for God must not be based on his blessings but for who is. God is wise in heart and mighty in strength & power. Have a blessed day.

Humility is key .
Humility is key
Sometimes we get disappointed because we havent broken into the more elite groups in our churches or communities. Stuck down on the bottom when we want to be on the top somewhere. We must listen to what Jesus told us. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles themself shall be exalted. Thats the way of Gods kingdom. In Gods kingdom humilty triumps over pride anyday!! (Blessed Heavenly Father teach us to be more humble in our hearts & take away our sinful pride,for surely by ourselves we will stumble & fall.Help us to stay by your side In the name of Jesus Christ i pray AMEN.) Have a blessed day.

"ARMOUR OF GOD PRAYER"
"ARMOUR OF GOD PRAYER"
Picture yourself putting on:
1. THE HELMET OF SALVATION Re-claim and celebrate your salvation. Let Christ give you His mind and thoughts. 2. THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS Get right with God by confessing any sin. Invite Jesus to make you into His likeness. 3. THE BELT OF TRUTH Ask Jesus to show you the truth about yourself. Ask for discernment to know God's leading from that of the Evil One. 4. THE SANDALS OF PEACE Exhale fully and breathe in the Peace of God. Invite the Holy Spirit to show you anyone with whom you need to be reconciled. Forgive them and seek your forgiveness. 5. THE SHIELD OF FAITH Envision yourself with a mighty shield, capturing and extinguishing doubts and temptations. 6. THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT Take the sword to cut yourself free from anything that restricts you from living in faith and health. Praise God for His Word, in the Bible and in life. 7. FINAL PRAYER Let the Holy Spirit lead you in worshiping God and intercede for others God brings to mind.
