Prayer ministry begins in the secret place...

As life gets busy, it's sad to see quality family devotional time not being a priority anymore. Sometimes one finds easy to pray with a friend or take part in prayer meetings but does not know that prayer ministry begins in the secret place and then with the family.

Be blessed,

Julia

Be a Giant killer!

Hi..   ¸¸.•*" Goliath the giant was huge. No one dared to step forward to accept the giant's challenge.But suddenly a little red haired boy, barely weighing 90 pounds, boldly steps forward. He was a shepherd boy of 9 or 10, and his only weapon was his unshakable faith in a Living God and had a crude slingshot and smooth stones as his weapon. The boy's name is David. He was the giant killer! No matter how huge our problems, challenges are today we can overcome them with our unshakable faith in our Living God Yahweh, even if our faith is as small as a mustard seed!   ¸¸.•*"  Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said, have faith the size of a tiny mustard seed, and all things will be possible for you.We can boldly look at our giants and say, " My God's bigger than you and He lives in me!  Rejoice! ~Our decision to serve God doesn't bother Satan in anyway.. ¸¸.•*" But when we start serving God he is disturbed! ~Our decision to pray and intercede does not ruffle his feathers... ¸¸.•*" But when we really start to pray & intercede he trembles and is disturbed. ~Our plans and strategies of how to defeat the enemy does not bother the enemy in any way.   ¸¸.•*" But when we step into the battle field in the Name of Jesus, face him fearlessly we will overcome him. Goliath kept challenging the Israeli army. ¸¸.•*" •1 Samuel 17: 10 "Then the Philistine(Goliath) said, “This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.” 11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified. " Saul and all the armed forces were afraid of Him. But David was able to face the giant fearlessly because he knew who he believed in. He was able to look at the enemy in his eyes and say with confidence.. ¸¸.•*" •1 Samuel 17: 45 "David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel"   ¸¸.•*" Are you ready to disturb the enemy and overcome him? Be blessed.. Julia

 

No one is useless to God...

Hi...

Glory be to our God on High!

✿NO ONE IS USELESS TO GOD.

He died to save ALL mankind and always on the lookout for the lost to make them His own and use them for His Glory!
✿Feel your life is messed up beyond repair?
Give the broken pieces, the mangled lump of clay that you are to Jesus Christ our Lord. He is a Master Potter and a Restorer and Creator of masterpieces.
See what He will do with a fully surrendered vessel!
✿Feel you are deep down in the pit of sin and Jesus Christ will not look at you?
Try calling out His Name in faith.
He'll come, reach down and lift you up. For He looks past your sin at your Repentant heart that people may fail to see.
He will wash you clean of ALL your sin with His precious blood and cloth you with His righteousness and say.."Go and sin no more."
★John 8:11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
✿And when He forgives, He forgets!!
★Hebrews 8:12 "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
★Hebrews 10:17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”
✿What a God we serve!
 The one who keeps reminding you of your forgiven past is the devil.He is the "Accuser of the brethren."
★ Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
✿ Pay no heed to the enemy's whispers, he is the father of 'lies'(John 8:44), it's what God thinks about you that REALLY MATTERS!
Keep serving the King of Kings faithfully!

Power of verbal blessing...

Blessing each other is a forgotten art.
A blessing as defined by Webster's is, “The utterance of a wish, request or direction that good should follow, pronounced over a person or an object, or the benefit which follows such utterances.”
Throughout the Bible we read about the power of verbal blessings.
But this is something that's hardly seen today.
Bill Gothard writes,"A verbal blessing is made up of three powerful forces: our words, God's Word, and God's name. The power of our words alone is affirmed by the Scripture that states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21)."

In the Bible we see fathers speaking blessing over their children. Let's bless our children and see things established in their lives. I was blessed to read this article be blessed too!

MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
"GOD BLESS YOU" may be a little prayer
but means much more...
It means that the Lord with His gracious hands,
give you and your family more than what I've prayed for.
His blessings is ALL we need!!
Be blessed....

Quit not...

When you feel tired of praying and want to give up, take comfort in the fact that God is ever present, always answering.
He cares about all that concerns you.
He does answer your prayers.
It may not always be the answer you hoped for or expected but in ways He knows is best for you.
Trust Him.
He has your eternity on His mind.
He'll never leave or forsake you.
Keep praying for He's listening!!
Have a blessed day.

Water the place you are planted...

The grass seems to look greener on the other side but it's better to water the place God's placed us in and make it really greener n fruitful!

Sometime we feel the place where we are planted is not as flourishing and green as the other side looks.
 So some of us switch places, jobs so often only to find it's the same there.
 Sometimes people from the other side paint bright pictures of the "Other side" to lure us there. If we don't let our Lord Jesus Christ design our life plan and learn to be fruitful where He plants us, chances are we'll fall into someone else's plan. 
And guess what when we go the other side we'll be discouraged to find things are the same....:)

 So before we move to the other side to achieve our desires, let us be fruitful where God's placed us. Then to our surprise we will find,
"The Grass is always greener where we water it."

Be Blessed,

Julia

Discouraged?

Hi,
Are you discouraged? Is the cross too heavy?
 Are you feeling sad, rejected, lonely, depressed...?
Is the pain too much to bear...?
Is the fire (the trial) too....hot?
Is the water (your problems) too...deep...?
Has your friend let you down...?
Have no one to turn to?
Finding it hard to overcome?

 Look up to Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. 
 Remember...Jesus is with you through it all...and complained not. He promises not to burden us more than we can bear and is ready to help us and give us rest. Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
No one understands you better than He does.
He can feel your pain because He has gone through it and so will heal you!
He knows how you feel broken & lonely at times for when on the cross all left Him so He knows what loneliness is,
He will never leave you or forsake you...
He is an overcomer so will help you over come.
He loves you....He will change the circumstances that surround you & set you free...
So...won't you praise Him right now...
Tell Him how much you love Him...
He needs to hear that...
Your desert will bloom again...
