I am chosen and appointed by the Lord



John 15:16
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

~~~Refletions~~~
Jesus choose you!
He appointed you!
Jesus made the choice to die for you and love you. He made the choice to die on the cross for You.

So your Sins could be forgiven, so you can enter into the gates of heaven.
Without him making that first choice, you wouldn't have a choice.
Eternal life would not be an option.
It's up to you to make choice, to accept or reject Him?
.
We are not saved merely for our own benefit, but to serve Christ.
Manifesting His love and Word to the world, and to build up His church.
This is the fruit you bear and it will remain with you.
Every Christian will bear spiritual fruit. Somewhere, sometime, somehow.
Otherwise that person is not a believer.
Every born-again individual will be fruitful.
Not to be fruitful is to be faithless,
without faith, and therefore without salvation.
How can you receive from the Father anything in Jesus Name if you have no Faith?

Our Salvation Is a gift from the Lord.
All we have to do is pray this

Prayer~~~ Jesus Thank you for your Love, for making the sacrifice on the cross for my sins.I accept YOU!  You have redeemed me. Thank You!  I ask Father in Jesus Name that you would make me filled with faith, and fruitful. Help me to bring Glory to you!

Happy Fathers Day God!

Happy Fathers Day God!

I AM AN ENEMY OF THE DEVIL


I AM AN ENEMY OF THE DEVIL
Peter 5:8
.Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 







~~~Reflections~~~
Lions attack the sick, weak, young and easy prey. Lions choose victims who are alone or not alert. As with many predators, a lion may attack if cornered, if a human runs away, this stimulates their instinct to chase, or if a person "plays dead"
Standing still however may cause the lion to consider a person easy prey.

Lions are ready to pounce and devour their prey.
The devil being compared to the Lion. demonstrates the attacks we face, when we are being persecuted, feeling alone, helpless, suffering or weak, and so focused on our troubles and not keeping focused on the Lord.

Be watchful for the attacks from the devil.  This is when we are easily harmed spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally to Satan’s attack ,We leave ourselves open to attacks, simply by having lack of faith. So stay alert, keep yourself  surrounded by others who are believers, for strength.

 Resist the devil, stay steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. The God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, will establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Do what ever it takes, get rid of the Lion before he attacks. Shout Loudly the word, use any other action to appear larger, like praise and worshipping the Lord. Raise your hands to the Almighty! Jump up and down, as you would to make the lion retreat. Fighting back with the blood of Jesus on the cross, Using the Name of The Rock of our Salvation to call upon the Father and ask for mercy in Jesus Christ Name. this is the most effective way in to drive out the temptations,

Jesus is my friend

I am a friend of Christ and  Jesus is My Friend!

John 15:14
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you .

~~~ Reflections ~~~
What a wonderful and comforting thought we have that Jesus is our friend. 
For Jesus is the kind of friend we need in our lives at all times. When we look for a true friend we should look for others who resemble Jesus.
Jesus is there at all times, no matter the situation..

His peace comes in times of turmoil and fear.
He comforts us  during times of sorrow and mourning.


He is always there for me.
You don’t need to go far to reach Him.
He doesn't  need to you spend money to be with Him.
He is here with us right now.
Having a friend in Jesus is brings peace to our minds.
He comforts us and leads us in the path of peace and joy
He reassures us that He is Our Lord and Master
He will never forsake us.

See all things as opportunities from the Lord

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

~~~Reflections~~~

While coping with unfavorable situations and feelings. It is so important to allow God to take control. Remember how much you Love the Lord. For His perfect results are unfolding, 
even when while you are in a time of despair.
By trusting in His infinite wisdom to guide your path.




He will lead you into His righteousness.
Know that when your heart is breaking,
the Lord is teaching you how to become more compassionate,
forgiving and loving.  God will turn into your strengths.
Anticipate  or be prepared for a breakthrough.
Many will see your trial and your trust in the Lord
For God Cares for you. He Adores you,  
Attends to your needs, keeps His eye on you,  
looks after you, comforts you. For He Loves You!
He has already gone before you, for he makes all
things work together for your Good, according
to His Purpose, to bring Glory to His name!


Prayer
Father I submit all unfavorable situations and feelings into your hands. You are in control of all things. As my heart is breaking, you comfort my soul. You make all things work together for my Good. I know your infinite wisdom is guiding my path and all situations.  I give you praise Lord, for your ways are much wiser than mine. Thank You Lord for the Love you have for me. I know you got this.
In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Your comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.

 1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love,
but perfect love casts out fear,
because fear involves torment.
But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.








~~~Reflections~~~

Stepping out of your comfort zone, is not always an easy task. Every day you make choices that either bless you and help you grow spiritually or that allows types of fear to step in.  Anxiety, Stress,
Learning to stand on God's word can help you take charge of emotions.  The Holy Spirt can and embolden you, and give you the courage and the confidence to step out of your comfort zone.
Yeah your comfort zone, might feel beautiful. How are you touching others? Is God using you to share your His Love?  Are you sowing seeds in others lives?

Sometimes it seems easier to just go with the flow, and avoid potential conflict. The truth is that letting people walk all over you can increase feelings of stress, anxiety and panic attacks. It might eventually lessen your feelings of self-worth and play into ungodly fear. Fear begets more fear.

The good news is, you don’t have to live with fear as your state of mind. It’s God’s will for us to have faith, trust in Him, so that be make us perfect in his love. Casting out all fear.
It is not His intention for you to live in fear, He wants you to live in His Love.

 Love casts out fear. By knowing who you are in Christ, accepting God’s love for you, and focusing your thoughts on Him. You begin to harvest, faith, confidence and Love. Step out of your comfort zone and allows Love to grow within you. You grow as a child of God. Becoming more faithful to do what you are called by Him to do.

When the Holy Spirit directs you, Trust that the Lord is Love, and if God asks you to do something where you have step out of your comfort zone. Remember, He is the almighty, He has created the heavens and the earth. He formed you in your mothers womb. He makes the wind to blow, the sun to rise and set. How much more will he be there to comfort you when you step out of your comfort zone for Him?  You are harvesting Love.

The more you step out of your comfort zone, the easier it will become.

Psalms 27:14
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart.
Wait, I say, on the Lord.


.~~~Reflections~~~
How would you ever handle it if you lost everything you had today?
What would your next step be?
How long would you be depressed and upset and angry?

When you are a Resilient individual you are better able to handle such adversity and rebuild your life after a catastrophe, with a much more confidence, faith and endurance.  Having the ability to Wait on the Lord with expectation that He has everything under control. Can change your outlook to hope and faith in the face of adversity from illness, depression or difficulties and misfortune.

It is something you need to start your day with, everyday. challenges or not.
Having Faith, gives you strength to cope with stress and hardships. Having the Faith and Trust that the Lord will bring you through every situation and will give you strength.

Do not despair when you feel discouraged. It is  how you choose to deal with these difficult situations, that is the key.  Dwelling on Thoughts of your current situations  beings despair. By focusing with the mindset that God will help you through it. Waiting In anticipation of what the Lord has on the other side for you.
You will receive an abundance of Joy, by putting into practice.
The joy of watching when Gods plan is put in place, brings healing.

You can choose now to change your mindset. Being Christ like minded, doesn't just happen. How  the time to seek the Lord. Your relationship with the Lord, will be your strength in every situation. Anxiety, depression and stress will flee.  So wait with great expectations for the Lord to bring you through. Be resilient!

Lord God, we ask the you would encourage us to wait on you Lord. With expectation knowing that you have something bigger and better in our future.  You have created the heavens and the earth, so how much more should we place our trust in you. Thank You Lord, for building our faith, endurance and changing our mindset. We trust you GOD, and we Believe, Have Faith that you are in control.
