WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

A prayer



Abba FATHER..
Help us
not to let rude people steal your joy
not to keep a record of evil.
Not to Be bitter against anybody.
to not just count our days but make our days count.
Not to over work and loose out on doing things we like to do.
Not to wait for the walking away or death of a loved one to realize their value..
Never to forget how to laugh.
Not to hesitate to reach out for help we all need it sometimes.
Not to forget to share a smile, say a word of cheer and encouragement to someone
who's feeling down.
Not to miss a single opportunity to share Your love, Your Word and the message of salvation to the lost.
In Jesus Name we pray..
Amen

★CLEANING HOUSE FOR 2011★
*°•.✫Last Week I threw out Worrying,
it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me;
I couldn't do things God's way.
I threw out a book on MY PAST
( Didn't have time to read it anyway).
*°•.✫Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today

*°•.✫I threw out hate and bad memories,
( Remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
threw out the one from long ago.
Brought in some new books too,
called I CAN, I WILL, AND I MUST.

*°•.✫Threw out I might, I think and I ought .
WOW, you should've seen the dust.

*°•.✫I ran across an OLD FRIEND,
I hadn't talked to in a while .
His name is GOD the Father,
and I really like His style .
He helped me to do some clean ing
and added some things Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE,

*°•.✫Yes. .. I placed them right on the shelf .
I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door. I FOUND IT- its called PEACE .
Nothing gets me down anymore.

*°•.✫Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place .
For things like Worry and Trouble
there just isn't any space .

*°•.✫It's good to do a little house cleaning,
Get rid of the things on the shelf .
It sure makes things brighter;
Maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE! !!!

★May the Lord open the windows of heaven and pour
you out a blessing that you will not
have room enough to receive it all.
(Malachi 3:10.)

11 months down...


Hi..
Just voicing the thoughts of my heart aloud.
Eleven months down and just 16 days more and the curtain falls to end 2010.
Some questions we can ask ourselves~~
What have we done for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ this year?
His commission to us was,
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.
He also said in
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
How many lives have we touched and made a difference to?
Have we shared the gospel to those who have not heard about the saving grace of our Lord, this year?
How much have we grown spiritually?
Has our relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior grown stronger?
How much of our time,forgiveness, love, joy, laughter, money, material things, prayer and other good things have we sown in the Kingdom and the lives of others? (For we reap what we sow!)
His greatest commandment was,
Matthew 22:36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
How many of our new year resolutions have we fulfilled?
I think it's good we take a stock of our life today.
Then we can step into new year with a new vision and get ready to do all that we can for Jesus, His Kingdom, our family, friends and for those who still need to hear the Word of God!
So in the next couple of weeks let's.....
•..¸At least share the GOOD NEWS to one person who does not know Jesus. How will they know if we don't tell them?
•..¸Sow our time, love, prayer for the Kingdom's extension and in the lives of people who are dear to us, for the lost and for the Nations!
•..¸Get closer to God by spending more time reading HIS WORD, meditating on it, in prayer and listening to HIS voice.
•..¸Take time off everything to sit at HIS feet and receive strength and anointing to step into a new year. A 3 days of fasting (partial or total) and prayer is a good idea!
•..¸Let's let go of things of the world that hold on to us and slow us down in our spiritual walk.
•..¸Let's visit the people we promise we would but never made it.
•..¸Let's forgive the people who hurt us and forget all that upset us.Get right with anybody we have problem relating too, even if that person doesn't want to forgive and forget, let's just release all ill feelings and love them!
Luke 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
•..¸Let's try to complete a part of our pending new year resolutions (If we had made any!!) the rest we can carry it on to the next years list (if you want to!!).
•..¸Let's give quality time to do the Lord's work, for family and friends.
•..¸If the Lord had been urging us to do something and we've been putting it off..LET'S DO IT NOW!
Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·The time to stand up for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is NOW.
We have just a short opportunity to witness for CHRIST and live for HIM.
Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·If ever we ought to read the BIBLE, meditate on HIS word, pray and win souls....it has to be NOW!!
Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·Come on...let's get going!
Let's be obedient to HIS Voice if we hear it!
Hebrews 3:15
As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
Heb:3: 7-8: 'So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert."
Let's ask God to break us, remake us and use us for His Glory
Be Blessed
