by His grace they have been erased


Ephesians 2:8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.


~~~Reflections~~~ 
God loves us with such significant love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. I cannot think of anything I would rather be rich in, then to be rich in God's grace.



I may not know all my flaws, imperfections, sins, or my own weakness.
I DO know that I have many of them. And by his grace they have all been erased.

I do not boast in my good works, for all the Glory goes the Lord.
Salvation cannot be earned. It is truly a free gift from God. There is nothing we can do to earn it. We have to accept this gift of Grace.  For this is all a part of the Lords plan. He wants that we should walk with him. We were created in Christ for good works, to bring Glory to God.


~~~ Prayer ~~~
Father of grace and mercy thank you. Thank you for extending grace even when I have not deserved it. Thank you for giving mercy when I most needed it. Thank you for giving life. Thank you for being my God. Thank you for preparing my way. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen.

Be built up by Faith! Not by Fear!



Jude 1:20-25

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

And on some have compassion, making a distinction,
but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire
hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. Glory to God

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior,
Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power,
Both now and forever. Amen.


~~Reflections~~~
Glory to You God!

So many times we allow fear to get in the way of our faith.
This is not what the Lord would have us mature in.
Be built up by faith, not by fear. Be merciful to those who are not yet saved. Or who doubt. Be merciful to those who doubt. May you spread the message of His Love, Mercy and Salvation. 

For He is able to prevent you from stumbling through your faith. You are able to keep yourself in the love of God, by your faith and praying in the Holy Spirit. Seek Mercy through
Our Lord Jesus Christ though Faith.

You will be seen unblemished in the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,and much Rejoicing!
Such as a Present, in His Presence you are!
You are much like a present to our Father through His wonderful Son, Jesus Christ.

Think of yourself as a present on Christmas morning as a child would receive that long desired, treasured gift.
That is How God sees you through his Son.
Our Redeemer.

~~~Prayer~~~
May the Lord keep you upright and plant you firmly in His presence
clean, unmarked, and joyful in the light of His glory. Mercy and Peace and Love be multiplied to you, through our Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Son of David have mercy on us


Matthew 9:27-29

When Jesus departed from there,

two blind men followed Him,
crying out and saying,
“Son of David, have mercy on us!”
And when He had come into the house,
the blind men came to Him.
And Jesus said to them,
“Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
Then He touched their eyes, saying,
“According to your faith let it be to you.”






~~~ Reflections ~~~
How can we receive blessings, healings or salvation, if we do not have faith?
Our faith guarantees us the fulfillment of God’s promise to us for an eternal life with Him in heaven.
Yes our faith enables us to see the invisible, believe the unbelievable, and receive the impossible. Faith receives the healings, gifts and blessings from the Lord. Faith has no boundaries. Much like Love. Faith demonstrates hope and trust in God.  Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.


You notice the 2 men saw the healings that Jesus did. They had faith, their hope to be healed, made them follow Jesus. That took faith to follow after Jesus.  Jesus then speaks to them they are healed according to your faith let it be to you.
Faith  requires us to trust in God, with complete confidence and willingness to trust the Lord.
Growing our faith is a part of our journey with the Holy Spirit.
This means knowing that all things are possible by our faith in Jesus Christ.


~~~ Prayer ~~
Oh God, Thank you for being faithful and true. Your word does not return void.
We have complete confidence in you. We place our trust in you God, that our faith is unshakable. We desire faith that can move mountains, when we pray for others you will be faithful and true. Healings and blessings will flow abundantly through your name. In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

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 (PraiseYou 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 righteous and kind
He is Holy and
Everlasting to Everlasting
