God is with us and faith will remind us of this truth. Be willing to sacrifice of ours to the one that sacrificed for us. He left His throne, His crown and His kingdom to come and die for me; as well as you so that we would have freely given, the opportunity to be forgiven, repent and adopted into the Holy Family as heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. So, don’t be so quick to say I can’t when the reality is you won’t. It’s difficult, but remember that the Lord is your strength and the Holy Spirit will guide. Seek that truth and be willing to give back to God for what He has done for us. Genesis 16:13-14, Psalm 139:7-10, Zephaniah 3:17, Luke 12:22-25, Ephesians i6:12, Proverbs 16:3.

We are taught in the righteousness of the Lord and we are clothed in His righteousness; so we move through this plain of existence in that way. It may require us to cut out individuals that are not healthy to be around and continually detract from your walking upright, boldly and working at being in a walk with God. If they are indeed a hinderance, then say goodbye. No regrets and walk forward with the Holy Spirit guiding. Ephesians 4:26&27, II Corinthians 6:17&18, Matthew 18:6&7, 5:30, 21:12-17, Proverbs 18:23&24, I Peter 3:4.

In all things lift up a hallelujah and praise Him. That is at times a difficult thing to do because we have not let go of the very things we are praying about. We tend to get in our own way and that of God. Raise a hallelujah and step aside; no matter what. Psalm 145, 4:6-8, Revelation 21:23, II Peter 3;13l, Exodus 34.

His authority is real and is truth, He is truth. We are told this in the Bible in several places: Jesus is the WAY the TRUTH, the. BREAD OF LIFE, the LIGHT. Jesus is all of those and MY KING, MY LORD. Psalm 43:4, 63:7,&8, 119:105.

Take time for God and seek Him with as Jesus tells us; with all our hearts, soul and minds. Focus on that thing that is MOST important. Exodus 3:14, I Corinthians 3:16, Psalm 25:14&15, Psalm 105:2-4, 27:4-8, Genesis 24:63, Matthew 22:37.

In and through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, we are both cleansed and clothed in righteousness. As with a bride and groom: they can be readily identified by those that see them and in His righteousness, should it not bear the same with us as TRUE believers? Not only as we are seen by others, but in the reflection outwardly of that which is in us and that must be God’s love and righteousness. Psalm 139:1-4, Ephesians2:13, II Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 61:10, Ephesians 4:24&25, Proverbs 3:5&6.

We must practice and exercise trust in God. Trust and faith with Him are indeed synonymous. We must learn to let go and not to cling to things that we tend to THINK we can and don’t want to let go and just get out of our Owen way and get out of His way. Rather difficult for God to do for you if you won’t move over and allow him. So often we look to access blame on God and the reality is, we have done and disrupted the process. Remember that sometimes it IS a process and that God just does not ‘fix’ it right now. All things are according to HIS will and purpose. Example being in the story Jacob and Joseph. There were years that transpired, but all good because of trust and love of God. Psalm 120-134 and each chapter is a song of degrees to the closeness of God. Psalm141, 130:4-6, I Peter 5:6&7.

As we read through the Psalms that David composed in poems and songs, we read that indeed he is a man after God’s heart. Yes I use the present tense because he is in heaven and I’ll know him and speak with him. David was in turmoils and had issues that came in thoughts and in physical forms as well. God’s Word tells us that these things will take place and we are reminded that they will happen. Peter shares that these things will TEMPER or faith for endurance. We are reminded to wait upon the Lord and His breath will carry us aloft as on wings of the eagles. No matter what may come, He is always with us and that promise is for all time. I Peter 1:7-9, 3:17&18, Psalm 121, 113, 119:105-107, James 4:7, Romans 8:1&2, Isaiah 12:2, I Peter 4:6-11

He calls us into having a PERSONAL relationship with Him. Much more than just knowing about Him, but knowing Him. Spending time with Him. Giving of that oh so precious thing that we reluctantly share with others and frequently won’t share; not even with loved ones or those that are called that, but time is so guarded and held so tightly that oft times we miss opportunities that are right with us. Give it up; for the love of God is real and He will bless for it. Psalm 23, 25:4-8, 25:12&13, 25:21&22, 27:1, 27:4-8, Romans 8:38&39, Galatians 5:22&23.

We find as we look around us that so many have come and attempt to bend truth, which is just a lie. If it’s not His truth it’s simply a lie, period. Perverting the Word of God is the manipulation of His word and attempting to get others to follow what is not truth and ignoring the precepts of God in declaration of self worth and removing God and Jesus from the center. Galatians 1:1-11, Psalm 131:2, 21:6, 37:7, Jeremiah 17:7.
