September 28, 2023 "Do You Suffer from ANXIETY?"
BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING. Brother Paul's instructions to us is to not be anxious or worried about anything! The one essential cure for worry is prayer, for the following reasons. Through prayer, we renew our trust in the LORD's faithfulness by casting our anxieties and problems upon Him who cares for us (Mat. 6:25-34; 1 Pet. 5:7). The peace of God comes to guard our hearts and minds as a result of our communion with Christ Jesus. God strengthens us to do all things He desires of us.
When we call on God from hearts that sincerely endeavor to abide in His Word (John 15:7), then the peace of God will flood our troubled souls. Believers must place their minds on those things which are true, pure, holy, righteous, etc. That this is a prerequisite for experiencing the peace of God and freedom from anxiety is clear if you do these things, "The God of peace shall be with you."

September 25, 2023 THE SAFEST PLACE is in the WILL OF GOD!
In the reading of the 91st division of the Book of Psalms, the Psalmist expresses the security of those who trust fully in God. It assures us that God will be our refuge and that we may seek His protection in times of spiritual and physical danger.
He shall give His Angels charge over thee: God commissions angels to watch carefully over the lives and interests of the faithful. Nothing can happen to a faithful servant except by God's permission (remember God's faithful servant Job). There are times when the question arises; "Why do good things happen to good people?" There is no shadow nor turning that God does not already know about. The more fully we abide in Christ and His Word, we can trust in the "Almighty" as He emphasizes His power to confront and destroy every enemy.
1. “Most High” shows Him to be greater than any threat we face.
2. “Almighty” emphasizes His power to confront and destroy every enemy.
3. “The LORD” assures us that His presence is always with us; And
4. “My God” expresses the truth that God has chosen to associate intimately with those who trust in Him.

September 22, 2023 LISTEN: Are we still testing God's Patience?
Reading and Lessons from History Psalms 78. Asaph retells the history of the Jewish nation from the time of slavery in Egypt to David's reign. It was told over and over to each generation so they would not forget God and make the same mistakes as their ancestors.
God's patience and mercy are clearly revealed in this psalm. Over and over His people rebelled in unfaithfulness, yet God restrained His anger.

September 21, 2023 MOSES, I KNOW THEE BY NAME!
Exodus 33:17 "Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight." This should bring an awareness to all men, that God not only did he know Moses by his name, but He knows all of us by our name. Luke 12 says; "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

September 21, 2023 Pray for "A SYMPATHY BREAKTHROUGH"
As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the LORD has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Colossians 3:12-13
Paul offers a strategy to help us live for God day by day (1) imitate Christ's compassionate, forgiving attitude; (2) let love guide your life; (3) let the peace of Christ rule in your heart; (4) always be thankful; (5) keep God's Word in you at all times; and (6) live as Jesus Christ representative.
The key to forgiving others is remembering how much God has forgiven you. Is it difficult for you to forgive someone who has wronged you a little when God has forgiven you so much? Realizing God's infinite love and forgiveness can help you love and forgive others.
You were made in the image of God, were you not?
Blessings,

September 13, 2023 KEEP YOUR HOPE ALIVE (Part 2) The Conclusion
THE LOVE OF GOD ... IN OUR HEARTS. Christians experience the love of God in their hearts through the Holy Spirit, especially in times of affliction. The verb "shed abroad" is a present perfect tense, signifying that the Spirit continues to flood our hearts with love.
It is this ever-present experience of God's love that sustains us in tribulation and assures us that our hope for future glory is not illusory.
No matter what we may go through in this life, know that God is our present hope on every hand. Although at times it is easier said than done, we must continue to place our hope in the One that can and will deliver us.
Justification through faith brings the believer various results: peace with God, grace, hope, assurance, tribulations, the love of God, the Holy Spirit, salvation from wrath, reconciliation to God, salvation by the life and presence of Jesus, and joy in God.
Keep hope alive in your heart!
Blessings,

September 11, 2023 KEEP YOUR HOPE ALIVE (Part 1)
"Grab ... hope with both hands and never let go!" Whenever your situation looks impossible, remember what the scripture says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
This reading encourages one to hold on and trust in God. We do not know the plans that He has laid for us, however, if we believe in His Word He has said that He will never leave us nor forsake us. When things might look as if they will not come to pass, take a look at Matthew 19:26, where Jesus said "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible".
I know that life has a way sometimes to take the little hope that we have and dash it against the nearest wall; however, if we just hold on a little while and trust Him. As God has never lost a battle, grab hold of your hope with both hands and never, ever let go!

September 09, 2023 GOD CAN CANCEL YOUR PAST (Part 3) The Conclusion
The Bible is clear that God pardons sins by His grace based on Christ's work on the cross alone, not on man's actions. The apostle Paul reminds us that we should have buried our old selves — and our old sins — symbolically through baptism (Romans 6:3; Colossians 2:12). God desires to forget our transgressions as though they had not happened in the first place. Jeremiah 31:34 says, "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
The best description for today's message is this: If we go to God seeking with a pure heart in repentance of our sins, He is just to forgive.
"It is finished".

September 08, 2023 GOD CAN CANCEL YOUR PAST (Part 2)
"The act of changing one's mind." This is what the scripture says about repentance. True biblical repentance goes beyond remorse, regret, or feeling bad about one's sin. It means turning and walking away never to repeat the sin.
When we admit our sins and seek God's forgiveness, He forgives and forgets those things. Our LORD God chooses to forget all the bad stuff that we once were entangled with. We are given a clean slate, basically a do-over!
Look at the story told in the Book of Luke 15:17—24, in regard to the Prodigal Son. Just as the earthly father, forgave his son so will your Heavenly Father forgive you when you seek His forgiveness.
Remember God loves you — all of you and your imperfections. Only He can wash us and cleanse us from the past errors of our ways.
Stay tuned for (Part 3), the conclusion of, "GOD CAN CANCEL YOUR PAST!"

September 07, 2023 GOD CAN CANCEL YOUR PAST (Part 1)
"The act of changing one's mind." This is what the scripture says about repentance. True biblical repentance goes beyond remorse, regret, or feeling bad about one's sin. It means turning away, walking away and prayerfully the sin is never repeated.
When we seek God with a true heart and seek forgiveness through prayer, it means a change of attitude and action in our walk of life.
To repent means to make an about-face, heart-directed turn away from self to God, from the past to a future ruled by God’s commands, acknowledging that the Lord reigns supreme over one’s existence.
Now, once God accepts our sincere heart, those past things are washed away, gone, forgotten. I was told those sins are cast into the lake of forgetfulness. Once Jesus canceled the record of those past charges against us, they are done. Only man loves to go fishing.
God can cancel your past!
