Renew our strength Lord

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

Father God,

Thank you for giving us patience to wait on you. You Lord renew our strength, so we we fall we can rise up with wings like eagles. We shall run and not become weary. We shall walk but not grow faint. 

In Jesus Mighty Name Amen 🙏 

Work mighty in me

Father God, 

 I acknowledge that You are The Lord Almighty. You are the first, You are the last, and You are the only true God. You are my Rock, and I am Your witness.  Work mightily in me. Help me overcome the stronghold of idolatry and acknowledge Your sovereignty and greatness in every area of my life. 

In Jesus Mighty Name Amen 🙏 

Isaiah 44:6-8

“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 

‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me, Since I appointed the ancient people. And the things that are coming and shall come, Let them show these to them.Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.’ ” 

The Word of GOD IS SHARPER then a two edged sword

Father, 

You are the greater one, and You live in them. They have the Authority and the Ability

to resist whatever evil plan or strategy the enemy conjures up against them. No weapon formed

against them shall prosper. Your spirit leads and guides them every day by your guiding hand.

You keep them on a path that is protected and safe. There is nothing the enemy can throw against

them in which they cannot overcome through Christ. As they submit to you and resist the enemy,

he will flee every time. Please bring to the remembrance that they wrestle not against flesh

and blood. The battle is ultimately spiritual, and it's up to them to recognize this when life

gets tough. Holy Spirit, please remind them that when they feel the pressure rising,

they can cast their cares on you. In the wonderful and precious name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

And every tongue which rises against you in judgment

You shall condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

And their righteousness is from Me,”

Says the Lord.

gods way are higher

God's ways are higher

 Isaiah 55:8-9

When something happens to us we try desperately to be strong.
Can't understand why things aren't going smoothly..
We look around and hear the messages the world tells us.
You can do it. You’re strong. You’ve got this!
When inside you feel like a failure, weak, struggling.

After all, aren’t we supposed to handle our lives?

Aren’t we supposed to be large and in charge?

NO. Not really. 

Unlike us. God is never sitting around thinking, 

“Oh, what should I do now?”

We are suppose to have Faith, and Trust in the Lord.

Some things don't work out because God has a bigger picture.

Because God’s ways are different than our ways.

Gods ways are much, much higher.

Makes more sense that we turn whatever we are worried about over to him.

His view is much clearer.  Plus God is sovereign. He knows everything.

He is infinite, immeasurable, unlimited, ALMIGHTY, mighty, Sovereign, and in control. 

 Turning over our uncertain situations to the one who is all-knowing is the only thing that will give you peace. You can know that God can handle anything that comes your way. Nothing is too big. God is the one who is large and in charge!

 And all he asks us to do is to believe that, have faith in Him.  

And then, to leave it in his capable hands.

God has this!
God can do it.
God is your strong tower.
With God all things are possible!
Ephesians 3:20  God is able to do immeasurably more in my life than I could ever imagine.  
Matthew 19:26  With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Isaiah 55:8-9.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. (Yahweh) “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

Brief time we have in this life

Call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6




~~~Reflections~~~

Reflecting on the uncertainty of when life will end,
And the brief time we have in this life.
Having known some who's lives ended unexpectedly,
or knowing there day is going to be here shortly.
There is still the question that so many seem to put off.
Eternity.

Knowing some people don't know who God is.
Or even want to admit that God is Real.
Others believing in emptiness, or even idols.
Antichrists..

Then there those who witness to you on their deathbeds,
about the glory that awaits us all.

There is peace with God.
Now is the time.
What do you have to loose?
Death will come to us all.
Don't wait to long... your opportunity is now.
Seek the Lord while He can still be found.
Call upon Him while He is near.Isaiah 55:6

~~~Prayer~~~~
Open my eyes s that I may see your glory. I seek you Lord, give me ears to hear. Understanding that I may know who you are. Is life a season?  Like the seasons of the earth? Is there more when we return to the dust? Like winter, Is there a new season, like spring? Everything New?

The lord holds my right hand

For I, the LORD, your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, Fear not, I will help you.
 Isaiah 41:13

~~~ Reflections ~~~
God's  is a loving Father, when you are confused, fearful or anxious, He is always there. 
God reaches out and takes hold of our hand, and will comfort you with his precious words,
"For I, the lord God, will hold your right hand, Fear not. For I will help you.


This verse can remind you we are never alone or forgotten.

~~~ Prayer ~~~
Abba Father, in my moment of struggles, when fear, anxiety or confusion suddenly overwhelms me, make your presence known to me. Without doubt, allow my faith to know that your presence and help is always near. Please help me have faith that you are here. Bring to me the remembrance to through your Spirit that you hold my right hand LORD. That you are my help, and I have no need to fear. For you have not forgotten me. In Jesus name I pray.

What a beautiful picture of God's forgiveness!

What a beautiful picture of God's forgiveness!

Isaiah 1:18
"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord,
 "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

Psalm 51:7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

1John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

.
~~~Reflections~~~
The Lord tells us that if we come to Him and confess, or repent of our sins.
He will take the ugly sins that we have in our life and wash them away, and make us as pure and as white as that freshly fallen snow. What a beautiful picture of God's forgiveness!
Though our sins be like scarlet and crimson,
God says, "I will get rid of all that. I will take it away and I will wash you white as snow."
David knew the meaning of these verses and found true grace in them and in God's mercy.
In Psalm 51, after he had sinned and fallen into adultery with Bathsheba,

David had accepted God's forgiveness for his repentance. So do we.
Are you discouraged because of something you did?
Thinking it is to big for God to forgive, worrying that God will not forgive you?
"If you come to me I will take those sins, wash them away and make you as white as snow."
David said even whiter than snow Lord?

Stop worrying, come to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you and accept God's forgiveness, like David did. . Let Jesus take your sins and wash you whiter than snow, We all fall short of the Glory of God. Jesus was the only one without sin.

Pray this, Father forgive me for my sins, and help me to not to sin anymore. Lead me and Guide me, wash me as white as the Snow. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Anticipating the Glory of the Lord to shine upon you for the New Year.
What a beautiful way to awaken to the earth covered in White
Snow covering earth. Fluffy White Snow Flakes falling from the sky.
When I looked out my window and saw all that fresh snow.
I found it so refreshing!

All that black, dirty snow. Now gone. Everything covered in White.
A welcoming site, as it's beauty sparkles, on every tree limb.
I Love to look out at the snow. Taking walks in the snow.
The Feel of that fresh brisk air, is so invigorating.
After weeks of the snow plows and the traffic making the snow dirty
with that ugly black soot.
Then theirs all the slush from the warm weather and the
build up of ice from the frozen nights.

When I look at the snow, it is a reminder of the goodness of God.
All the Old things passing away. Washing and cleaning making all things become new.
Cleansing my dirty ugly sins even whiter than snow.
The Fresh snow, reminded me of the New Expectations for this New year from the Lord.
and the washing away of our Sins.
that I look forward to in this New Year.
This is why felt so refreshed and Renewed.
I used the snow as a reminder to myself of the Word of God.
I am forgiven,  Washed as white as snow before the Lord.  Thank You Lord.

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Isaiah 9:6-7

For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.





Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,

Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,

To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.


~~~Reflections~~~

The Birth of Jesus had been foretold centuries before He was born.
You can find many of the old testament prophets having proclaimed his arrival.
The Messiah is often represented as having been given, or sent.
Some think of the Messiah as a rich gift from God.
Truth is Jesus was an unselfish Gift of Love.
Man had no claim on him.
God unselfishly gave his Son to be a sacrifice for the sins of the world.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Christ Born of Mary

Christ Born of the Virgin Mary

Matthew 1:18-25

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph,
before they came together.

She was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man,
and not wanting to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away secretly.

But while he thought about these things,
behold,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,  “Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife,
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.



And she will bring forth a Son,
and you shall call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people from their sins.”
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying...

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son
and they shall call His name Immanuel,”
which is translated, “God with us.”

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep,
did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.
And he called His name Jesus. "Immanuel" "God with us"

~~Reflections~~~
Mary being a Virgin of flesh and blood. 
and for the child Jesus was Miraculously
conceived in her womb was of the Holy Spirit.
A DIVINE MIRACLE!
As His Word spoke this world into existence.
Gods HIS Holy Spirit Miraculously, Supernatural Intervention had her conceive Jesus. 

Matthew mentions the paternity of the Holy Ghost very quickly.
Before either Joseph or Mary are mentioned.
Some scriptures to references for the virgin birth are Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38 Galatians 1-4
From the Old Testament prophetic message in Isaiah 7:14.
Christmas is more than just a tree, lights, gifts, jingle bells, holiday, or a birthday.
All through out the Bible, God has used days to remember things.
Nine major holidays and Sabbath days instructed by God in the Old Testament.
Seven of these were appointed feasts, meant to be a sacred time when the Israelites met with God. Three of these seven appointed feasts were pilgrimage feasts, when all Israelite males were required to appear before the Lord at the temple in Jerusalem.
Lets take a look at the celebration of the Birth of Jesus or also known as Christmas, from a Christian perspective. There is a lot of biblical basis, traditional observances, seasons, facts, and an interesting section revealing the fulfillment of the Messiah, Jesus Christ throughout the Bible.
Christmas No matter what day you celebrate it. Is a reminder that God did something so Divine and Holy. He sent his Son the Messiah for us, so we could be from sins and sickness. Give God Praise!
Christmas is a reminder GOD IS WITH US!

There is only one faith The faith a person needs to be saved is the same faith a person needs to be healed

Writing on the subject of healing, and how it is one of the wonderful gifts the Lord has given us. This is the gift from the Lord.

(1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to an other discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

Stand Firm by the same Spirit of Faith that Jesus took our infirmities and bore our Sickness and Infirmities on the cross.

Standing strong and having the faith and understanding of God's Word.
The divine healing was provided when Jesus died on Calvary.
God's word clearly states “By His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5)

We do not need to question or wonder about the how's or whys.
We simply must have faith and pray.
Believe Gods Word. Have faith that those who have sickness,
diseases and infirmities will be healed.
By the Holy Word and In Jesus Christ Name.
Isaiah the prophet stated (Isaiah 53:4) “

But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.” 

It is written in Matthew that He makes these miracles possible.
 (Matthew 8:16-18)
When evening had come,
they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed.
And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses
(Isaiah 53:4)

Our role as Children of God, is to reach out to the sick, no matter what the illness
or demon-possessed, and Stand Strong in our faith and prayers.
In this way we will show others our Faith and Word of the Lord,
so that they also will have the Faith that the Lord will raise them up.

That Jesus does perform the miracles. Be Encouragement. As a result, of their Faith,
the word is planted for Salvation. The point being, There is only one faith.
The faith a person needs to be saved is the same faith a person needs to be healed. 

I do not heal, you do not heal. The healing already took place as stated by the Prophet Isaiah and Jesus Himself.
(Matthew 8:16-18) We give God all the glory.

God is my Salvation! YAH!

Isaiah 12:2

Behold, God my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid,
For Yah ! 
The Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.’”
