2009 welcomeWelcome to the year 2009 and: THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE; LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT! PSALM 118:24 *NKJV

Beloved, no matter all prayers prayed for you, they are awareness and confirmation of what the Lord has said about you. He has already defined you and He made you. You are a success and success ye shall be. 2009 welcomes you with JOY UNSPEAKABLE.

Have a wonderful and fulfilling year in Jesus name. Amen

A new year just beginning,
Each day a fresh, new start,
To fulfill your hopes
And pursue the dreams
Sustained within your heart.

Put God in charge;
He’ll plant the seeds
Of affection, love and care.
Like a garden, your life will grow
With kindness flowering there.

And as you face the wonder
Of each day’s mysteries,
You’ll see God’s hand
Unfolding, daily, possibilities!

And as each day comes to a close,
Dream a dream or two,
Then with a prayer thank dear God
For each day given to you.
Poet, Gael Phaneuf

Let your speech always be with Grace

Jesus Said; “THERE IS NOTHING THAT ENTERS A MAN FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH CAN DEFILE HIM; BUT THE THINGS WHICH COME OUT OF HIM, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT DEFILE HIM.” MARK 7:15 *NKJV

As Christians we must be careful of the words we speak, and keep them soft and sweet, because sometimes we can defile ourselves with our words. For if we are not careful OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEED BLESSING AND CURSING. MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT TO BE SO. JAMES 3:10
Therefore: LET YOUR SPEECH ALWAYS BE WITH GRACE, SEASONED WITH SALT, THAT YOU MAY KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH OTHER. COLOSSIANS 4:6

So Beloved, speak only words of kindness, and; SPEAK EVIL TO NO ONE, TO BE PEACEABLE, GENTLE, SHOWING ALL HUMILITY TO ALL MEN. TITUS 3:2

FINALLY, ALL OF YOU BE OF ONE MIND, HAVING COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER; LOVE AS BROTHERS, BE TENDERHEARTED, BE COURTEOUS; NOT RETURNING EVIL FOR EVIL OR REVILING FOR REVILING, BUT ON THE CONTRARY BLESSING, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE CALLED TO THIS, THAT YOU MAY INHERIT A BLESSING. Amen. 1 PETER 3:8-9 )

Be careful of thy words

22 BELOVED, IF OUR HEART DOES NOT CONDEMN US, WE HAVE CONFIDENCE TOWARD GOD. AND WHATEVER WE ASK WE RECEIVE FROM HIM, BECAUSE WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND DO THOSE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING IN HIS SIGHT. 1 JOHN 3:21-22 *NKJV

Now would you change the way that you live if you knew that God knew all of your thoughts, heard all of your words, and knew all the desires of your heart? Well, He does for it is written: THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THAT THEY ARE FUTILE. For He even; KNOWS THE SECRETS OF THE HEART. PSALM 94:11 & PSALM 44:21

Now when we try our best to have pure thoughts and desires and follow the Commandments put forth by God, we often get our prayers answered. For it is written: THE EFFECTIVE FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH. JAMES 5:16

So, when you speak be careful of the words you use, and keep them soft and sweet. For we are to always ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP. Most of all, always think before you speak so that: THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE ACCEPTABLE IN YOUR SIGHT, O LORD, MY STRENGTH AND MY REDEEMER. Amen! 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11 & PSALM 19:14

Now, have a great day and may it be filled with blessings indeed!

YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU

11 WHERE THERE IS NO [REVELATION]*, THE PEOPLE CAST OFF RESTRAINT; BUT HAPPY IS HE WHO KEEPS THE LAW. PROVERBS 29:18 *NKJV

The Hebrew word for [revelation] here refers to the Words of God as received by the Prophets. Thus meaning: “WHERE THERE IS NO WORD FROM GOD, THE PEOPLE CAST OFF RESTRAINT.”

Now just think for a moment what our lives would be like without the Word of God. There would be no peace in our lives, and we would be void of God’s Great Love for us as well. We would have no one to give us strength, hope and faith when dealing with the problems in our life! Our lives would therefore be truly empty, and worry and confusion would rule in our lives!

As Children of God we read and study His Word, and know of His Great Love and Compassion for us! We also know that we are in Him and He is in us, for it is written: FOR IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. ACTS 17:28

Thank Heaven that God chose us to be His Children for it is written: YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU. JOHN 15:16

So the next time that you count all of your blessings, remember to also count the fact that God chose YOU to be a Child of His! Just think of how important YOU are to God, and what a blessing it is to be selected as a Child of His! Praise The Lord! Amen.

12 A MAN HAS JOY BY THE ANSWER OF HIS MOUTH, AND A WORD SPOKEN IN DUE SEASON, HOW GOOD IT IS! PROVERBS 15:23 *NKJV

Words are very powerful for they can either build up, or tear down others. Also foolish words can bring about our own destruction, for it is written; IN THE MOUTH OF A FOOL IS A ROD OF PRIDE, BUT THE LIPS OF THE WISE WILL PRESERVE THEM. PROVERBS 14:3

We are also warned about gossiping for it is written; IN ALL LABOR THERE IS PROFIT, BUT IDLE CHATTER LEADS ONLY TO POVERTY. PROVERBS 14:23 For after all; A WHOLESOME TONGUE IS A TREE OF LIFE, BUT PERVERSENESS IN IT BREAKS THE SPIRIT. PROVERBS 15:4

Further, God has instructed us to encourage one another, for it is written; LET US CONSIDER ONE ANOTHER IN ORDER TO STIR UP LOVE, AND GOOD WORKS, NOT FORSAKING THE ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES TOGETHER, AS IS THE MANNER OF SOME, BUT EXHORTING ONE ANOTHER, AND SO MUCH THE MORE. HEBREWS 10:24-25

So, remember to keep the words you speak soft and sweet. For you never know from day to day which words you’ll have to eat! Amen.
