God is our healer

Father God, 

please provide restoration to the people of Israel and their nation. Please help them rebuild their cities and bring healing into their hearts. This is a difficult time for the Israeli people, and they need their restoration to come from you. We know you love Israel, Lord. Please give them the restoration they need physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In Jesus Mighty Name Amen.

Psalms 122

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. 

Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces."

For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you."

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good. 

Being Still

Psalms 46:10

God knows best

God knows best

Psalm 84:11

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

~~~ Reflections ~~~
You may think you know what is good for you. Really only God truly knows.
You need to get to the point where you trust that God does know best.
Learning that if you do not get that dream job, car or house, or anything that you were desiring and praying for.  It is because God knows it would not be good for us. If you were to have it,  He would have answered that prayer with a yes. For He would not withhold any good thing from you. Remember that God knows not only the past or the present we are in, but he also knows what lies ahead. He has plans for your future.

God gives you direction and purpose by pointing you on a certain path. God ultimately directs your path.  God is good, and He can work all of the events of your life of outstanding achievements, to bring Him Glory. That is if you let Him. God is good. Everything He does is good and wonderful. God gives and offers is greater than what the devil offers, so shouldn’t your expectations come from God? God wants to do something outrageously wonderful in your life every moment of every day. But you have to be ready and expect it to happen.


Prayer

Thank you Lord for your grace and glory.
You are faithful even when we have been faithless. We thank You for Your word which gives us light and understanding. We thank You for giving us all things that pertain to life and godliness and for giving us all spiritual blessings.  We exalt You, Lord God, and we bless Your Name. We place our trust in you. Holy Spirit, help me to see the opportunities that the Father has placed before me.
In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

shield of faith

Psalm 18:35-36

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip.

~~~Reflections~~~

God gives you the authority and power to have victory, through Salvation. Jesus Christ.  His very presence surrounds and fills you.

He is like a shield that protects you. No
matter what comes at you, Fear, anxiety, panic attacks or sickness.

Whatever the stronghold that comes against you. God's gentle kindness will be your strength.  Through your faith and His grace your path will be enlarged. A way will be made . His will be done. 

~~~ Prayer ~~~

Mighty are you Oh God. We give thanks for being our shield. Only you are able to reflect off the enemy like a shield.  Thank You Lord the gift of salvation and grace. Amen 

could you learn from your disappointments

 Psalms 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 


~~~Reflections~~
What would it take for you to pull yourself up and start all over again?

Seeking God first thing in the morning. Is a great way to start your day. Are you able to call on God, during those times of need, storms, sickness or any kind of disappointment or fear come to you?
Are seeking The Lord to carry you through without falling apart?


When life throws you a curve ball, or things don't seem to go your way. How you respond is of great importance. No matter what the circumstances you are going through in your storm, the only thing that matters how you go about handling yourself during the storm. Do you curl up in a ball, cry, hide in fear?

Hopelessness and discouragement can be overwhelming.  So How do you get out of those feelings of doom and gloom. There is a cure. Yes it is a Miracle Cure!
It comes by going to the Lord.
For Jesus is the  Only Way! John 14:6

Worship and Praise Jesus! Thank Him for everything you are going through. Acknowledge, Proclaim JESUS CHRIST HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER THE SITUATION . Seek the Lord. through His word, through prayer and a thankful heart.

Once we understand the crucial importance that it is a spiritual factor and not by human circumstances. The enemy is always trying to discourage us. Steal our faith, like a thief in the night. John 10:10

Others will see that we know that God is in charge of our circumstances.
By adding this to our daily conversations and experiences through all discouragements, no matter how small.   We can make every discouragement or hopelessness a time for reflection and connection with the Lord. Strengthening our Faith. Going to the Lord in all circumstances. 

~~Prayer~~
GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IN YOUR PRECIOUS SONS NAME JESUS CHRIST. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE POWER AND AUTHORITY IN THIS SITUATION, FOR I BELONGTO YOU! WE THANKYOU LORD. FOR YOU ARE WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE.
 CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, A RENEW A STEADFAST SPIRT IN ME. HOLY SPIRIT I WELCOME YOU TO GUIDE ME THROUGH! THANK YOU LORD.


John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.



desperation, despondency, discouragement, hopelessness, Jesus is the Way, The Truth, and The Life. 

Have a Resilience is a mind set.

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.

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.

AWAKEN WITH EXPECTATION OF THE GOOD THINGS THE LORD HAS INSTORE

Psalms 100

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God.
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations

 ~~~Reflections~~~

Total attitude adjustments can make a big difference in the outcome of your day.  Waking up with expectations of Good things to happen because the Lord is in charge of  all things, including the storms, circumstances and
our future destiny.

By starting your day with Thanking the Lord for His goodness, this can change your whole atitude for the day. Giving the Lord Praise when we enter into a new day, can make a world of difference.

Upon awakening, if we look out the window, and let that be our deciding factor of our day. we are allowing our circustances or sorroundings to dictate our destiny for the day.

We should be awaken with Joy in the Lord. With expectation of what God has instore for us.
If we look outside and see the foggy, cold rainy day. Are we going to allow that to determeine our day, How is that pleasing to the Lord?
He wants us to put off complaining, grumbling and Snippiness, ( Philippians 2:12-18 ) If we want the Holy Spirit to lead us in pure Joy, it can come from our gratitude to the Lord.  Having an irritable attitude, could withhold the Lords presence for day. It is important for us to put away the grumbling and complaining, Start the day with Thanks, gratitude, Praise and Rejoicing before the Lord is In this way we please the Lord. 

Psalms 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it!

( Philippians 2:12-18 )
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,  holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

His GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE!

Psalms 145
I will extol (Praise) You my God O King
And I will bless Your name forever and ever
 Every day I will bless You
And I will praise Your name forever and ever
 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.



I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.
 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy
The Lord is good to all
And His tender mercies are over all His works
All Your works shall praise You, O Lord
And Your saints shall bless You
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your power
To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations
The Lord upholds all who fall
And raises up all who are bowed down
The eyes of all look expectantly to You
And You give them their food in due season
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing
The Lord is righteous in all His ways
Gracious in all His works
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him
To all who call upon Him in truth
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him
He also will hear their cry and save them
The Lord preserves all who love Him
But all the wicked He will destroy
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever

~~~Reflections~~~

After reading Psalms 145 We should take some time and examine ourselves and see the many blessings that God has provided for us.
Startig a journal, or a jar with notes can help you to recall the blessing that God provided for you.
Give thanks to the Lord and share the many blessings to everyone, so that others many know that God is powerful.
My prayer is that everyone will get the chance to experience God's blessings and love.
Our encouragement to others should be of how God is Truthworthiness and debpendabilty. This will build the Trust in the Lord in others.

UNEARCHABLE!  WoW! What a word. Undefineable, Forever and ever. Yes our God is unsearchable, for if He was searchable, he would have limits. He Has no limits. If we could define God than He would then He would have limits. He is eternal. To fathom this is beyond human understanding.

Although we can decsribe some of the LORDS characteristics or attributes.
Such as His Worthiness to be praised, His Greatness, Grace, Kindess, Provisions, Mercy, Faithitfulnness, Kingdom, and eternal 

Our faith needs to be expressed to the future generations. Sharing Gods faithfulness,
as a testimony in our own lives, and throughout the Bible.
It is important for the future generations to know that He is caring, committed, dependaple, kind, reliable, reassuring and trustworthy.
That He Loves all his creation and supplies all our needs.

We lift up our voices and praise Him with gratitude, for He loves and cares for each of us and all his creation.
He is the God of an everlasting kingdom.
David describes some of the Lords characteristics of His graciousness and eternal greatness.
Behold the worthiness of our God throughout Psalms 145
He made all things, and there is nothing that was made without Him.
We are reminded that in all things we must praise Him!
What better to do than to acknowledge Him, and the only way to acknowledge Him is to praise Him.

Psalms 145 shows us many of God's characteristics.
It is His will for us to give thanks, praise and bless Him In All things.
He is Great and greatly to be praised
He is so great that He is unsearchable, He holds the mysteries, He is beyond discovery or understanding.
The generation shall praise His works to another generation
He performs mighty acts
He is does great goodness
He is righteous, gracious and compassionate
Slow to anger and great in mercy
Good to all, Powerful
His glorious majesty rules over an everlasting Kingdom
Hia dominion endures throughout all generations
He lifts us up
He is suppplies our needs
He satisfies the desire of every living thing
He is righteous in all His ways
Gracious in all His works
Lord is near to all who call upon Him
fulfill the desire of those who fear Him
Hears our crys
Saves us
preserves all who love Him
The wicked He will destroy
God is able to lift us up

He is Holy and
Everlasting to Everlasting
