Graceful Encounters

Jesus is who He says He is.

The things in this world that matter and are valuable - are things that we cannot see with the physical eye.
When we teach our children about God and His Son, Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we teach our children about, what matters most, who will get them through the challenges of life and we instill good morals, values and integrity within our children.
If we do not teach our children - someone else will - and the question is this - Do you want your children to grow up with hope and a good moral compass - or do you want them to grow up believing the lies that the world will spew at them, distorting their identity?
Because when the blind lead the blind, they are bound to fall into a hole.
But - when we lead and guide our children in truth - and there is only one truth - God's Word - we set them up for a life of abundance in abiding in The Lamb and The Lion - Jesus Christ.
Do not be deceived. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life - in Him we live and move and have our being. He is a good good Father and He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He will guide us and lead us and sustain us. He promised. And He is not a man that He should lie. He puts His Word above His Name and you can trust what He says.

And when God is in your process - You are bound to succeed.

Are you tired? Does life sometimes take it's toll and get you down?
I have come to realize that when I am thirsty and I am in need of my cup getting filled, because somehow through the every day life it got depleted again, the only One that really fills me up to overflowing is Jesus. He is the Author and Perfecter of my life. He holds the stars in His hand, yet He is so mindful of me - He meets me where I am at. He knows me better than I know myself and He is always so faithful, even when I am not. He cannot deny who He is - He is love and He loves me.

If you cannot see His hand,You know you can trust His heart.

This wasn't for nothing.
It was for you!
It was for me!
And He would do it again.
But He is God - He did it once - and once was enough - because
He did it perfectly and powerfully and NO ONE can stand against The Blood of Jesus.
You are forgiven! You are set free! You are whole in Him. Because in Him, we live and move and have our being. And He will complete what He has begun in our lives.

There is fire in His eye's and it burns away all shame,fear and guilt - His Name is the Name that is above any other name - His Name is Jesus Christ.

God is who He says He is. He is faithful and true and full of love and mercy. Turn to Him and He will heal your land.

If you are struggling with thoughts of regret, unbelief, defeating thoughts that say you are not good enough, you have made too many mistakes, thoughts of fear and disaster...that paralyze you, that steal you joy. ....I have got good news for you...it doesn't have to stay that way....
God has made His life giving Word available to us to have our minds renewed and walk in the victory that Jesus claimed for us on the cross.
Search the scriptures, and declare God's Word out loud over your life and the lives of your loved ones. He says His Word will accomplish everything it has set out to do. Speak it...hear it ..declare it. He is true to His Word and He is a good good Father and He loves you. Allow Him to saturate you in His love and His healing power. There is life and healing and love in His Word. He is so gracious, He has made it available to us. How awesome is He. Praise Jesus!!!!

At times we cannot see what God is doing in the battle we are going through. However one thing is for sure....
He holds us in the palm of His hand and no one can sn**ch us out.
He fights for us.
He will never leave us nor forsake us.
What the enemy meant for harm God will turn it around for our good.
It is in the waiting that we grow. That our character is developed.
We are forged in the fire and we will come out not even smelling like smoke.
When we are weak He is strong.
He is faithful, even though we waver He is faithful.
His goodness and mercy will overtake us.
He has loved us with an everlasting love.
He goes before us and He makes crooked paths straight for us.
We will behold His glory and He will take us from glory to glory.
He is a good good Father and His banner over us is love.
The wind and the waves listen to His command.
He will give His angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways.
He will walk in victory because of the finished work of Christ.
He says that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. That means no weapon.

Great leaders have a unique ability to inspire, motivate, challenge, and support their team members to achieve success and growth. When leaders encourage their employees to surpass their own expectations and reach their full potential, they can inspire their team to believe in achieving the impossible.

By trusting your team and giving them more responsibilities, both the business and the employees can benefit. This creates a positive workplace culture where everyone can contribute to achieving the organization's goals.

Jesus You came to give us Life and Life in abundance. I thank you for Your faithfulness towards us. I thank you that You God are in control and that You will have Your way in the whirlwind and the storm. Thank you God that nothing is impossible for You and thank you that Your hand is upon us and that You hold us up with Your Righteous right hand. Thank you that You make our feet as sure footed as a deer and You take us from glory to glory.

Father I pray this morning that You come and stir our hearts. I pray You draw us closer to You. I pray God that You come and do what only You can do.

I pray Lord that You go before us today and make crooked paths straight.

I pray You lift us up and meet us where we are and open heaven over us...let us see Your face.

In Jesus Name
Amen.

🤔 🎯

You can’t determine your future, but you can determine your habits and your habits will determine your future. Your habits are choices.

Sometimes, things are best left unsaid!!

Sometimes emotional pain can be so overwhelming. You can feel it physically. Pins and needles in your hands...your arms go numb...your chest hurts...it sometimes feels as though you struggling to breathe. We hurt and no one sees....you walk out of your room and you smile at the world around you..yet inside you are hurting...wounded...afraid....your situation is getting to you...and even though you say it's ok...you say you going to get through this...and you will....there are just days when it's really tough and no one knows your pain.

But...there is someone who does know what you going through. Someone who understands you better than you understand yourself on a good day. There is someone that knows you...that knows your thoughts..knows your anxieties..knows your joy...knows your fear...knows you intimately...His Name is Jesus and I don't have the words to tell you how much he loves you...just look at the cross. That's all I can say..Just look at the cross. He loves you. He loves you. He said He will never leave you nor forsake you. He forgives. He heals. He sets free. He comforts. He provides. He sheds His light so we can see again. He is compassionate. He understands. He loves you. He is love. He will take care of you because he cares for you. He promised. He doesn't lie. He doesn't withhold His love. His love is not conditional. He is there. He will help you. He will hide you. He will guide you.

Take your hand and put it in His. He is the Author of your life. Your days are written in His book. He knows the plans he has for you.

You might stumble along the way. It's ok....we all make mistakes. We all get mad. Angry. Defensive. A bit of self pity here and there. Sometimes we want to give up...but tonight I want to tell you...don't! Don't give up...weeping endures for a night..but his joy comes in the morning.

Don't hold onto people or things. Things break...people disappoint...alot...but God...oh His good....and His mercy endures forever and He has loved you with an everlasting love.

But sometimes also, without anything being done, things change and become better. There is a natural process of growth, of maturing and transforming in the psyche. There are such situations where one has to wait, and noninterference is the healing factor.

You are not in control of what people think of you. Keep doing what you doing. If you know what you doing is the right thing, don't stop...know that as long as your heart is set on The Father and pleasing Him...you not going to be everyone's cup of tea...and that is ok...it's God that places a crown on your head and opens up doors for you that no man can shut... regardless of what they think of you...if God is for you..who can be against you? No one and nothing.
Life is about choices...everyday...
We are called to a higher calling. We are Powerful and dangerously beautiful when we choose to love...when we choose to be open ...when we choose to be present....when we choose to remain grateful and regardless of our circumstances we choose to believe in the goodness of God and His kindness towards us. He gave us life...let's live it.
