Do not let your hearts be troubled!

WHEN I SAID, "MY FOOT IS SLIPPING," YOUR LOVE, O LORD SUPPORTED ME. WHEN ANXIETY WAS GREAT WITHIN ME, YOUR CONSOLATION BROUGHT JOY TO MY SOUL. PSALM 94:18-19PSALM 94:18-19
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. ¹⁹ In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

After all Jesus Christ said; "DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. TRUST IN GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME." JOHN 14:1JOHN 14:1
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
14 ¹ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

WP-Bible plugin Therefore, "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled."

Let not your heart be troubled,
Give your worries and cares to Me.
I am your Heavenly Father
Who suffered and died for thee.
There are times throughout your Earthly life
When you are filled with doubts and fear.
Always come to Me in prayer
And know that I am near.
The love I have for you, dear child,
Can never be bought or measured.
It's a gift I freely give to you.
It is My most precious treasure.
When sorrow or pain come your way
And life seems to be unfair,
Let not your heart be troubled...
Just come to Me in prayer.
Poet: Shirley Hile Powell

Have a great day, and spent a little time doing you really enjoy this weekend.

The power of His Love – 1

NO MAN HAS SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME. IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD ABIDES IN US, AND HIS LOVE HAS BEEN PERFECTED IN US. 1 JOHN 4:121 JOHN 4:12
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

WP-Bible plugin *NKJVIt is written; YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. MARK 12:30MARK 12:30
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

WP-Bible plugin

When we love God with all our heart, He fills us with His great love! A love that is pure, and is known only by those who love Him. He then expects us to share that love with others. For it is written; MY LITTLE CHILDREN, LET US NOT LOVE IN WORD OR IN TONGUE, BUT IN DEED AND IN TRUTH. 1 JOHN 3:181 JOHN 3:18
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

WP-Bible plugin

We may show our love for others by doing simple acts of kindness! After all it is written; BE KINDLY AFFECTIONATE TO ONE ANOTHER WITH BROTHERLY LOVE, IN HONOR GIVING PREFERENCE TO ONE ANOTHER; AND NOT LAGGING IN DILIGENCE, FERVENT IN SPIRIT, SERVING THE LORD. ROMANS 12:10-11ROMANS 12:10-11
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; with...: or, in the love of the brethren ¹¹ Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

WP-Bible plugin

We may also do that by doing simple things such as smiling and saying "good morning" to those we see. Also by letting them know that we care about them, and by being there when they need a friend! The number of ways to show God's Love to others is endless!

Further it is also a way to plant the seeds of faith by showing them the way a Christian lives. After all remember; THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS. LUKE 10:15LUKE 10:15
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

WP-Bible plugin. Thus when we do that we are working for God as well!

So, why not share God's Love with those you see today and every day? You will find that even those who do not believe, will respond to it! Why, because the one thing that all human's desire, and can never get too much of, is Love!

Have a wonderful week ahead.

Let the peace of CHRIST rule in your hearts.

Jesus Christ said; "PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU; MY PEACE I GIVE YOU. I DO NOT GIVE TO YOU AS THE WORLD GIVES. DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED AND DO NOT BE AFRAID." JOHN 14:27JOHN 14:27
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

WP-Bible plugin *NIV

Now with all that is going on in the World today it is hard to have any peace of mind. After all, with wars and rumors of wars, terrorists, and violent weather etc happening all over the World, it is a bit unsettling to say the least!

So remember that Jesus told us; "YOU WILL HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS, BUT SEE TO IT THAT YOU ARE NOT ALARMED. SUCH THINGS MUST HAPPEN, BUT THE END IS STILL TO COME. NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION, AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM. THERE WILL BE FAMINES AND EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES." MATTHEW 24:6-8MATTHEW 24:6-8
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

WP-Bible plugin. So no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should be.

Therefore keep your mind focused on Jesus Christ for He said; "I HAVE TOLD YOU THESE THINGS, SO THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE. BUT TAKE HEART! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD." JOHN 16:33JOHN 16:33
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

WP-Bible plugin

So, why not start each day with the following prayer, and even better yet, why not try to live by it as well. Then; LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, SINCE AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE CALLED TO PEACE, AND BE THANKFUL, COLOSSIANS 3:15COLOSSIANS 3:15
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

WP-Bible plugin, and by living this prayer it will help you find true peace and serenity indeed!

Reinhold Niebuhr wrote:

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful World as it is,
Not as I would have it;
Trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to Your will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You
Forever in the next. Amen.

Now, don't you feel more peaceful right now? I thought so. Have a great day! Amen.

Power Over The Pull Of Sin(Temptation).

The serpent (satan) has been tempting mankind since the beginning of this earth age. Just as he tempted Adam and Eve, he tempts us as well! Therefore you must; BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. 1 PETER 5:81 PETER 5:8

WP-Bible plugin

There are some things to note about temptation.

Temptation is of the devil and not of God.
Temptation itself is not the sin but sub-coming to it is the sin. BUT EACH ONE IS TEMPTED BY HIS LUSTS, BEING DRAWN AWAY AND SEDUCED BY THEM THEN WHEN LUST HAS CONCEIVED, IT BRINGS FORTH SIN. AND SIN, WHEN IT IS FULLY FORMED, BRINGS FORTH DEATH. JAMES 1:14-15JAMES 1:14-15
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. ¹⁵ Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

WP-Bible plugin
God does not lead us so as to tempt us. Why would He want to do that?
No temptation is irresistible. BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION WILL ALSO MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT. 1 CORINTHIANS 10:131 CORINTHIANS 10:13
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

In a nutshell my recent experience goes thus: I lost some money because someone stole it, and since God has said it in His word that HE WILL REBUKE EVERY OF MY DEVOURER. The person who stole it returned the money and apologized. I was happy not because I found the money, but because of His faithfulness, because of the manifestation of His words and because of His fulfillment. And I think this is a good exam of His word manifestation.

The Aramaic word for "DEN" means pit, thus implying that it was underground.

There are times that we may feel just like poor Daniel did when he was thrown into the lion's den. However, just like Daniel our faith will come to our rescue as well!

After all; HE WHO DWELLS IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH WILL REST IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS, MY GOD IN WHOM I TRUST. PSALM 91:1-2PSALM 91:1-2

Why not forget your complaint and SMILE!

We all have days when we feel overwhelmed with life's many problems. However complaining about them doesn't change a thing! So why not smile instead of complain, for it is said; "Smile and the whole World smiles with you, frown and you frown alone!" IF I SAY, 'I WILL FORGET MY COMPLAINT, I WILL CHANGE MY EXPRESSION, AND SMILE.' JOB 9:27JOB 9:27
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

Have Mercy!

Get Motivated BLESSED IS HE WHOSE TRANSGRESSIONS ARE FORGIVEN, WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD DOES NOT COUNT AGAINST HIM AND IN WHOSE SPIRIT IS NO DECEIT. PSALM 32:1-2PSALM 32:1-2

Often people feel that they have committed a sin in the past that can not be forgiven. A sin that is so horrible that God could never forgiven them. This is simply not true! For; IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 1 JOHN 1:91 JOHN 1:9
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV

WP-Bible plugin . This is because when we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness, our past sins are cleansed from the Book of Life by the Precious Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ! For; IN HIM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RICHES OF GOD'S GRACE THAT HE LAVISHED ON US WITH ALL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.

Therefore never feel that a sin you have committed in the past can not be forgiven, that simply is not true! For our Savior paid the price for the sin debt for the whole World on the cross! So, it can be said; WHO IS A GOD LIKE YOU, WHO PARDONS SIN AND FORGIVES THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE REMNANT OF HIS INHERITANCE? YOU DO NOT STAY ANGRY FOREVER BUT DELIGHT TO SHOW MERCY. YOU WILL AGAIN HAVE COMPASSION ON US; YOU WILL TREAD OUR SINS UNDERFOOT AND HURL ALL OUR INIQUITIES INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA. Amen. MICAH 7:18-19MICAH 7:18-19
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. ¹⁹ He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
