We Praise Your Holy Name




Heavenly Father,

We know we cannot possibly fathom all that You are or all You have done...but we sing praises to You, Lord...for You have set Eternity in our hearts.

Your greatness is immeasurable, yet You have ordained us to be reconciled unto You, Lord God, and we praise you for this marvelous miracle.

Adorn us with Your robe of righteousness, Lord...and we thank You for clothing us with Your garment of salvation.

All great and mighty things are by Your hand, Father, and all is made beautiful in Your time...

All the glory, praise and honor is Yours, forever and ever...

In Jesus Christ's Holy and Righteous Name,

Amen!

All of the trials, temptations, fears, possessions, pain and worldly pleasures we attain or experience on Earth are temporary. But, a life that is sustained through The Holy Spirit is exceedingly abundant and eternal.

Through His provision of truth, freedom and grace...we should be not just be alive, but living more abundantly!

Our unchanging, unwavering Provider has unlimited resources and He longs to bless us beyond our heart's desire...according to His loving will...today, tomorrow and forevermore.

You Are Not Alone




You Are Not Alone

Let not your hearts be troubled, dear brothers and sisters...

Fight the Good Fight




Fight the Good Fight

In order to fight the good fight, we have to take our battles to the spiritual realm. Our fight is not merely against mortal men, but against a spiritual host of wickedness.

Discern your enemy and have faith in your God...stand firm in His power, promises and truth.

Wrestle it out in prayer and put on the full armor of God. Resist the schemes of the enemy and he will flee...partner with The Sovereign Lord of Hosts because the battle, victory and glory belongs to Him.

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints..."

(Ephesians 6:10-18)

God is Limitless and His Burden is Light


God Is Limitless and His Burden is Light...

There is absolutely nothing too great for our God.

There is no sin He can't forgive, no situation He can't resolve, no relationship He can't repair...there is no hurt in our heart that He cannot heal.

Our job is relinquish the control we somehow think in our humanity that we possess...partner with Him and exchange it for His yoke at The Alter...and in return receive His incomprehensible peace...and rest for our souls.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."

Love Others as Self




Love Others as Self

When you know who you are in Christ, you will love yourself and others with the compassion of Christ.

This requires seeking God first and experiencing His grace, mercy, forgiveness and unconditional agape love.

Once you have it, you can and will give it to others...

And if you love Him, you will keep His commandments...in loving others as self, The Law is fulfilled.
