We have to burn to Shine!

When everything seems hopeless, You are my glimmer of hope, Lord.

I will trust in You with all of my heart...

You are my Light, my Strength, my Hope, my Fortress, my Strong Tower, my Hiding Place, my Deliverer, my Help in time of trouble and my Salvation.May

Your peace radiate upon my burdened soul.

I know the night will end O Lord,

I know I won't remain in darkness when I follow Your everlasting footsteps.

Thank You for how Your light and mine will shine wherever we go !

Thank You Lord!

No matter what You are worthy of all my Praise!

Love You Lord Jesus Christ my Savior!

Amen!

Lord...help us not to...

As we walk through this day Lord...help us,,,

~~Not to forget to smile.

~~Not to let bad moments overcome us,.

~~Not to hold bitterness against anybody.

~~Not to just count our years, make our years count.

~~Not to get too busy and lose out on doing things You like.

~~Not to let rude people steal our joy.

~~Not to ever forget how to laugh.

~~Not hesitate to reach out for prayer, we all need it sometimes.

~~Not to let go of hope.

ROMANS 5:3 "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Pray the news....

The daily news has a lot of concerns that need prayer.

A wonderful way to pray is to "Pray the News."

We all either watch the news on TV or get online to read the news or read our newspaper daily and we can pray through the news as we read or watch it. 

Instead of listening to the incessant advertisments every five minutes we can use that time, to pray for the news we just heard.

Let us start praying the news!

Time to start praying.....!

It is easy to talk about prayer, write about prayer, read about prayer, discuss about it, but the real challenge is to really start praying.

The devil doesn't really care how much we talk on prayer, read about prayer or write about it.

But the moment we kneel down or sit down to pray, he is disturbed!

He tries his best to distract us, disturb us, oppose us to stop us from praying.

For he knows a praying Christian and a God who listens to his prayers can disturb and destroy his dark works and kingdom.

 JAMES 5:16b, "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

That's why God wants us to watch and pray at all times for all thing.

So let us stop reasoning and start praying!

Have a blessed week...!

Julia

May we.....

"May" the Lord meet each of us at the point of our need.

"May" we stand up to testify of His wonders!

"May" we find favor in His eyes.

"May" we see the impossible be made possible.

"May" we be candidates of uncommon testimonies.

"May" what we waited for a long time, be miraculously delivered to us in the name of Jesus.

"May" the anointing of God upon our life give us favour in the eyes of God and man all the days of our life.

"May" The Lord arise in any difficult situation that we may face and consume it with His Holy Ghost Fire,in the name of Jesus!

"May" each of us experience a miracle this day!

Exodus 16:7

"In the morning you will see the Glory of the Lord."

"May" we bask in His presence this day and Glorify God with our praise and worship.

"May" the Lord use us for His Glory this day and always.

Be blessed this day..

Waiting to walk through those pearly gates..:)

Revelation 21:21

The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.

Abba Father..

Forgive me for the times I have been quick to hate, judge, assume, presume and have told others their worth.

Give me a heart like Yours to love unconditionally and watch my words and thoughts at all times.

May I be a Kingdom builder and may You increase and I decrease.

May I live to please You so that one day I can enter through the pearly gates of Heaven.

May I spend more time in Your presence and know You better every day!

All I have to give up on earth is nothing compared to what I'll inherit in Heaven.

Walking with You is more precious, beautiful and valuable than all the treasures and pleasures this world offers

In Your Son Jesus Christ's precious Name,

Amen

Something thought provoking I read...(see below)

Be blessed..

We All Have A Purpose

BY CHRISTINE

"We all have some kind of purpose on this earth, It's not to hurt people or tell them their worth. Everyone was put here with an equal chance, 

Take a look around you, take a good long glance. Some were meant to heal, and some to teach, Some are used to build, and some to reach. 

You may not know your purpose just yet, God will tell you, when he knows you are set. Don't rush your fate, it has already been planned. And God will always be there to lend a helping hand. You will go through times that are really rough, But you will always have someone, when the going gets tough. 

Don't judge others, for when you do, There is always someone else, judging you. 

Think about things before they are said, 

Say your prayers before going off to bed. 

Take time just to sit, and observe all things, A flower and it's petals, or a bird and it's wings. 

For when you just look at what is around, A new aspect on life could be what you have found. 

Live for today, live one day at a time. Live for God and serve others!"

Let us stay connected to God in prayer...

The enemy just tries his best to keep us from talking to God..

But let us not stop talking to our Lord Jesus Christ...

Prayer is our life line that keeps us connected to our power source...God!!

Let's keep praying and believing and experiencing, God's love, His power, His peace..and all that He has is for us...

Julia  

What is our need this day?

What is that we need this day?

However small or big our need is, let us 1st talk to God about it.

May be it's a healing touch from God for a slight head ache or some severe pain.

May be our need is just a little pocket money or a huge amount to pay some bills.

May be we need help to get a little job done or a huge work.

May be it's just some wisdom or guidance.

Whatever it it, let us talk to our Lord Jesus 1st.

No one understand us and our needs and our situation as He does.

So let us lift up our eyes, our voice and hands to Him before we look around us. 

He will not disappoint us. 

He has promised to meet our every need, will He then fail us?

Have a blessed day..

Julia

Wish you find Hope, Faith, Joy, Love, rest and peace the Lord gives this day....:)

We may not be sure what lies ahead this day 
But..
Each moment of the day has it's own value....
Morning brings Hope...

Job 6:8,"Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,

Psalm 25:3,No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

Afternoon brings Faith..

Matthew 9:22, Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

Matthew 15:28, Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Evening brings Joy and Love....

Isaiah 60:5, Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come.

Hebrews 1:9,

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."

And
Night brings Rest...

Wish you find them all today,

Julia

Guard our hearts and mind O Lord....

Abba Father..

You are a Holy God...

You expect us to be holy as You are Holy...

Guard our hearts and mind against every attraction   

and distraction of the enemy, who comes as an 

angel of light too!

Help us to discern the right from wrong and stay 

focused in our mission to serve you....

Non of our deeds, thought, words or activity is 

hidden from You O Lord...

Keep us away from every snare and deception of 

the enemy O Lord....

May we be like You O Lord....

Increase our faith O Lord...

In the Sovereign Name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Amen 

O Lord renew and refresh me....

Hi Friends and Family..

My prayer for this day is this...

"O Lord, take the burning coal from the Alter, cleanse my heart, lips and mind. Purge me, refresh me and give me a renewed desire to serve you faithfully. I give myself to you O Lord. Purify me O Lord, make me ever true.

Mould me and make me into a vessel of your choice.

Anoint me to serve you Lord.

Let your grace fall on me.

Let me be soaked in your presence.

Use me for your Glory Lord.

In Jesus Name, AMEN."

Have you felt God's overwhelming presence.?

O How I love His Presence.  

I cry out to the Lord to let His Holy consuming fire burn over me.

I need to be refreshed and His presence is always refreshing.

That's why I like this song,  "Sweet wind" ( By David Ruis..Hillsongs)

The Lyrics are right down.

Be Blessed,

Sweet Wind

(David Ruis)

There’s a wind a-blowin’, all across the land
A fragrant breeze of Heaven
Blowin’ once again
Don’t know where it comes from
Don’t know where it goes
But let it blow over me
Oh, sweet wind, come and blow over me

There’s a rain a-pourin’, showers from above
Mercy drops are comin’
Mercy drops of love
Turn your face to heaven
Let the water pour
Well let it pour over me
Oh, sweet rain, come and pour over me

There’s a fire a-burnin’, falling from the sky
Awesome tongues of fire
Consuming you and I
Can you feel it burnin’
Burn the sacrifice
Well let it burn over me
Oh, sweet fire, come and burn over me

Our Lord heals.restores n brings peace

What seems to be destruction or end.....May be the seed of a new beginning ....Today we will pray for those whose life has been devastated by some loss (finances/job), sickness, death of a loved one or struggling in a relationship.

Our God renews, restores and recreates!
