Rejoicing through it all!

“Breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet.”

Your hope maybe dead and your dreams buried, but God can breath into them again. Ezekiel stood in a valley of dead dry bones, that’s about as bad as it gets.
The Psalmist said, “In the day of trouble my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me, I will sing to the Lord.”
Psalms 27:5-6

That’s how you “Glory in Tribulation.”

Don’t be Anxious

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God. Philippians 4:4-6

Paul is writing this over 2000 years ago to Christians. He said be anxious for nothing. Don’t be stressed, over anything, don’t be worried over anything, this did not just show up with this virus. It has been here a long time before that. Paul is telling the people of faith in the body of Christ. Don’t be anxious because Paul see’s that being a Christian will not keep you from anxiety, fear or worry.

You can walk with Jesus and still be anxious, you can have faith and trust Jesus and Lord and Savior anxious. Being a Christian will not stop us from being anxious. You can anoint yourself with oil and be as greasy as KFC but still have anxiety.

Jesus give us Peace! Philippians 4:7 – Read It!

Soul Care

David said,”The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul.” Psalms 23:1-3
Today car engines are computerized. A light on your dash will let you know something is wrong and you need a check-up. Your soul will do the same for you, but we must pay attention to the signals! Don’t wait until you have a breakdown before you stop and check-up.
Know when to say “when” when God gives us green pastures, enjoy them. When He leads up beside “still waters”, its up to you to restore your soul.

So practive Soul Care in Him!

Which one will you be?

The Bible warns us in Luke 12:45 that many say that “the Lord delayeth His coming”. This will run rampant in the end-time church. They will say, “the Lord delayeth His coming”, its another day, another generation. The Bible says, “one will be taken and one will be left behind, one will be standing in the field and one will just disappear into thin air, one will be lying in the bed and turn over and the other will be gone.”

Jesus would come today!
