Willing Vessels

 As the Spirit of God hovers over America, searching for willing vessels He can use, I wonder how many people will surrender to God's will and allow Him to touch others through them today; whether by words of inspiration and encouragement spoken, or a gentle touch or a caring hug, or by helping someone in financial need, by offering a labor of love to accomplish a task needing completion, or a simple prayer whispered to God above to help in times of need.

A willing vessel is all God needs to accomplish many needs in our world today, and all we have to do is to purposely listen for His direction. You could be the answer to someone feeling hopeless and in need of an answer today- not tomorrow or next week- but who needs to be shown today that God really cares and is using His followers to meet their need. Someone's life could be hanging in the balance and you could be that one little act of kindness that can turn their life around.

So I pray that as you go through this day, you will purposely look for ways to extend a helping hand or to offer an act of kindness along your way. You and I can make a difference in this world just by purposely being kind one to another, tender heartedly forgiving one another, even as God in Christ, has forgiven us; as Paul taught in Ephesians 4:32. Let's go out and have a rewarding day for the kingdom of God and be all we can be for His glory sake! Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~

His Unfailing Love

 Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love. I praise You that Your mercies are new every morning and no matter what may come my way, I am assured You never leave me or forsake me, but give me strength, comfort, and peace as I walk hand in hand with You through it all!

When storms of life come against me, I position myself in Your protective hands, knowing You will keep me safe as the storm passes over. Even when the fiercest storms of life come my way, You always remain faithful and strong to deliver me because there is Nothing too difficult for You!

As the words of the psalmist, filled with confidence and hope writes, “He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed” (Psalm 107:29), and I know I can trust You Lord, to bring me peace and reduce the worst of storms to a mere whisper. The faithful provision and sustaining comfort of God at work in my life simply requires my willingness to trust in Him, in His time, and in His ways; All I ever need, He Is!

God promises in Isaiah 41:10, So do not fear for I am with you; do not be discouraged for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." And I know that If God said it, He will do it; And Who is sitting at God's victorious right hand but the Son of God; my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! He is our Strong Deliver, Our Redeemer!

As God promised, He will do. His Word will never return to Him void, but will accomplish Everything It says He will do! We just have to get the Word within us so we can rest in His promises, in His ability and not ours, to deliver us! No matter what storm you are facing, there is nothing bigger than Lord God inside you! We are made more than over comers in Christ Jesus! So relax and enjoy this day He has given! God loves you and so do I~~~

A Most Precious Gift From Above

 His name is "HOLY SPIRIT" third person of the Trinity Godhead, all three in One; Helper, Comforter, Teacher, Friend, and so much more! All that we will ever need, He is!

Knowing the time was nearing for Him to ascend back to His Father, Jesus taught His followers about Holy Spirit He would send back to abide within them as noted in John 14:26, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name; He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

He continued to teach as noted in John 15:16-17, "And I will pray the Father and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him for He dwells with you and will be in you" and again in John 16:7, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."

Repeatedly Jesus tried to prepare His followers that He needed to ascend back to the Father but would not leave them comfortless; He was sending Holy Spirit to lead and guide them into all truths; and Holy Spirit would be inside them bringing all things to mind while empowering them to become more than over comers in all things pertaining to Godliness.

He knew we (His followers) needed someone continuously to walk with, someone to talk with, and someone to guide us in all truth and only Holy Spirit could do all that and so much more, because He was going to the Father where He would be interceding on our behalf.

We, as His followers, also need reassurance that He is with us wherever we go and in whatever we are doing and Holy Spirit strengthens when we are weak and comforts when we are sad. He is our comforter; guides and brings peace when we are troubled, and as we come to really now Him, He becomes our closest and dearest friend.

Holy Spirit, commonly known as the third party of the Godhead; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit; is in no way the lesser. None is the greater nor the lesser, there is never One without the other, and will never work against the other; all three make up the Trinity Godhead and bring glory as ONE Almighty God!

We are all spirits in human bodies and It is Holy Spirit that draws us to Jesus. As we repent and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, Holy Spirit becomes the power we need to walk the pathway of righteousness. Jesus knew and taught that it was vitally important (of the utmost importance) to have Holy Spirit dwelling within us so He could be our Comforter, our Adviser, our Guide, and Helper and the more we come to know Him, He becomes our dearest Friend. He never leaves nor forsakes us but is a most precious gift Who walks and talks with us forevermore.

So often in life we receive gifts but if left unopened we never know what was given. Open up this precious gift Jesus sent from Above and come to know Holy Spirit by walking and talking with Him throughout your day. There is no greater joy, no greater peace, no greater power than feeling Holy Spirit within, guiding you and reminding you that you are never alone.

I find it so amazing that God created this world and all herein and even provided all that was necessary for each of us to walk through this life empowered with His strength and wisdom, if only we come to acknowledge and know Him as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! This is the day the Lord has made; let's rejoice and be glad in it! Enjoy His many blessings, dear friend; God loves you and so do I~~~

His Goodness

 Awoke with the Goodness of my Father running through my spirit and what a Good Good Father He is; 'cause all my life He has been faithful and all my life, He has been so so good; and with every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God. my Saviour and Lord. Be blessed dear friends; I know He loves you and so do I~~~

"🎶I love You, Lord, For Your mercy never failed me; All my days, I've been held in Your hands; From the moment that I wake up, Until I lay my head; Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God; And all my life You have been faithful; And all my life You have been so, so good; With every breath that I am able; Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.

🎶I love Your voice; You have led me through the fire; And in darkest night You are close like no other; I've known You as a Father; I've known You as a Friend; And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah! And all my life You have been faithful, And all my life You have been so, so good; With every breath that I am able; Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God, yeah!

'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me; With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now; I give You everything
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me, 'Cause Your goodness is running after, it's running after me
Your goodness is running after, it's running after me; With my life laid down, I'm surrendered now; I give You everything
'Cause Your goodness is running after, it keeps running after me.

And all my life You have been faithful, And all my life You have been so, so good; With every breath that I am able; Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God; I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna sing; 'Cause all my life You have been faithful, And all my life; You have been so, so good; With every breath that I am able
Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God; Oh, I'm gonna sing of the goodness of God."🎶

There has never been a time His Love could not reach me right where I was; never a mountain too high nor a valley too low! Never anything you or I can do to make God stop loving us or stop reaching out to offer us hope in the midst of life's storms! He Loves us way too much to leave us. I agree with Paul as he wrote in Romans 8:38,39, "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Our God is a good good Father, a good good Savior, and a good good friend whose goodness and mercy continually runs after each of us; so today, let's reach out and allow His goodness to overflow from within to others we encounter along our way, because.God loves you and so do I~~~

The Potter

 🎶"Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Savior; I know for sure all of my days are held in Your hand, Crafted into Your perfect plan; You gently call me into Your presence, Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit; Teach me, dear Lord, to live all of my life through Your eyes; I'm captured by Your Holy calling, Set me apart, I know You're drawing me to Yourself; Lead me Lord, I pray; Take me, mold me, use me, fill me; I give my life to the Potter's hand. Hold me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me; I give my life to the Potter's hand"🎶

Today as we face uncertainty in these perilous times where we really have no control over our future, I feel Holy Spirit drawing us into God's presence to be molded into what is needed in this day and time. Often in our life, Father watches as life leads us down the wrong pathway as we suffer loss or damages in ways we can't repair so we find our self broken and shattered; and no matter how hard we try, we can't put the shattered pieces back together again. Desperation overtakes us and we acquire a sense of hopelessness; broken from pain, from grief, from abuse, from neglect, from lack, from torment, from loss of self worth; all broken inside and feeling no hope of ever being whole again. We are so overcome by our brokenness, feeling so alone, until somewhere in our stillness we hear a still small voice whisper, "I'm still here and I love you just the way you are; come to me and let me help restore you!"

And there in our brokenness we realize God has been there all the time; just waiting for us to surrender our broken pieces into His loving arms so He could take our brokenness and recreate us into a vessel for His honor. No matter where you are; No matter where you have been; No matter what you have done; No matter how bad you think you are; No matter how low you feel you've sunk; No matter how unlovable you feel you are; God loves you with His Unconditional Love! Right where you are; Just as you are; He loves you and is just waiting for you to surrender your life into His Potter hands.

As you finally place your brokenness at His feet, He will pick you up, place all that brokenness on His Potter's Wheel, and create a new masterpiece for His glory! Your life will not just be Good, not just Better, but will be the Best it can be; complete in Christ Jesus! A new creation; a Beautiful Vessel unto His honor; and Uniquely designed for His Glory!

So what are you waiting for? Stop trying to mend your brokenness when only God can repair, restore, recreate, and complete you, because He Never Fails! He is Forever Faithful with an Unconditional love that creates amazing masterpieces out of broken pieces and shattered lives and only He can make you whole. Come to the Father and place all your shattered dreams and brokenness into His Potter's Hands. Only He can meet your needs and make you whole again; even better than before.
Enjoy this wonderfully blessed day He has given, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~

Overcoming Uncertainty

 Many of us are facing uncertain changes in our life; but we must not be discouraged by what seem like dead ends or closed doors. Doctors may give negative reports but God's report is positive in every way, and that is the Word of Truth we must take and apply to our life, not man's words; because nothing is impossible or too big for God.

Every moment in our life carries infinite possibilities just waiting for God to unfold for our good. He wants us to have a good life and have it more abundantly, not just getting by day to day sick and afflicted, bound or oppressed; and we can achieve that abundant life if we just look up. Look up and trust God to break thru any obstacle in your way; to open doors that would otherwise be closed and to close doors that would otherwise be open to keep us going on the path He has designed for us; "to prosper us and give us hope and a future"(Jeremiah 29:11).

Dear friend, don't allow a report the doctor speaks over your life to weigh you down; but search the Word of God and speak God's Word over whatever you may be going thru and allow His Word to overtake those negative reports and bring you through stronger and better than ever before. Continue to speak God's Word of Life, the Word of Truth over it all and keep on replacing the negative with His positive Words and watch God take the bad and turn it around for your good and His glory.

Remember that God's plans are for our good and He will take all satan throws at us and turn it around for our good if we just hold on to His nail scarred Hand and don't give up, but continue to praise Him and trust Him thru it all. God is forever faithful and loves us unconditionally, thru our good, thru our bad, and thru our ugly. He loves us beyond measure so don't give up but Hold on, dear friend, God's got this! 🙌
Blessings to you, my precious friends. God loves you and so do I~~~

His Chosen

 "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace, And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:12-17).

Through my years of trial and error, I've learned that we don't have to be someone special to do God's will; we just have to be a willing vessel. God wants us to be real before Him and before others. He wants us to be that unique person He created for His glory. As we breathe in His presence we breathe in His strength, His peace, His essence empowering us with grace from on high. As we learn just Who He is and who we are in Him, we develop a mindset that we are a child of the Most High God in Christ Jesus and can do all things through Christ Who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13).

The more we get to know Him, the more we come to believe all we are in Him: that we are blessed and highly favored; the head and not the tail; above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:1-14); we are Loved with an everlasting love(Jeremiah 31:3) and there is nothing that can ever separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus(Romans 8:38,39); Our daddy is Abba Father (Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6); we are the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8), and there is Nothing too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:27).

So why not begin declaring what He says you are instead of what the world says? Why not accept His unconditional love and allow Him to show you His perfect plan for this life He wants you to enjoy? Why not surrender to His will and let Him work out those things too hard for you to handle? He's just waiting for you to ask Him into your heart and let Him be your Lord and Savior. The decision is yours! I pray Blessings to you and your family!🙌
Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~
