Where would we have been?

When we were in the depth of sin, lost and darkness...

Someone somewhere or so many  sure were praying for you and me!

That helped our eyes being opened to the truth!

Where would we be if our sin(s) were constantly be thrown in our face over and over and over!

Where would we have been if we had only been accused but never prayed for...?

Where would we have been if were only condemned for our sin and never shown the right way?

Where would we be if people only pointed a finger at our faults and never picked us up when we fell.

Thank God for people who have prayed us through, guided us, ministered to us, corrected us, shown us the right way, picked us up when we fell...and encouraged us and never gave up on us!

May God bless each soul that helps us in our spiritual walk...

 Encouragement, sure costs nothing to give,

But priceless to receive.

Our timely word can bring healing and comfort to people...

A whisper of prayer can make a ton of difference...!!!

Have a blessed weekend...

Moving on to higher grounds...

Let us not talk to discouragers, doubters when in a hard place or walking the difficult path, but look up to God, hold on to His word and communicate with people who will lift us up and pray with us, lift us up and help us move on.

Sometime we need to disconnect from people who will hold us back and move ahead to the higher place God has prepared for us.

Have a super blessed week!

Don't say at all......

 Psalm 19:14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Words do have the power to break or mend, wound or heal. 

Abba Father may our words bring healing to the wounded, 

hope to the hopeless, bind the broken, help to lead the lost and 

wandering souls to you. Let our words be seasoned with salt. 

Forgive us for reckless words, O Lord 

In Jesus Name Amen

Colossians 4:6

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Children are precious!

Hi...family, friends, brothers and sisters,

This is the day  Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!

November 14th is celebrated as the "Children's Day" in India. Well, are children to be remembered and appreciated just on one day in the year? 

♥Children are a gift from God. He entrusted them to us. There are angels assigned to watch over little children. 

**Matthew 18: 10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." 

♥And these angels always watch the Father's face. So we need to value our kids, each of them are special in God's eyes. 

♥Let kids not be aborted or ignored. God cares for a child, right from when it's formed in it's mothers womb. 

They are precious!

 **HEBREWS 11:23 says,"By Faith Moses' parents hid him for 3 months after he was born because they say he was no ordinary child and they were not afraid of the king's edict."

♥Every child on earth is special because God has great plans for each of them.

The Bible says in 
**Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." 

♥So, If we show our children when they are young the right and only way of truth, as they grow older even if they go astray or wander away, they will know to find their way back!

The only way we need to show are kids is the way of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only way, truth and life!

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

♥If our kids wander away from the path they are trained to walk as we fervently pray the Lord will bring them back  from their captivity. With our Lord there is always hope, as we persevere in prayer the Lord will bring them back. God's Word says in...
**Jeremiah 31:16-17 "Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they [your children] shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border."

Let us always pray blessing over our children. God has given them to us to bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Bill Gothard writes, "A verbal blessing is made up of three powerful forces: our words, God's Word, and God's name. The power of our words alone is affirmed by the Scripture that states, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21)."

♥Let us be there for our kids when they need us...

May God bless all children young and old, now and always.

"A PASSIONATE CHRISTIAN WOMAN"~ Author Unknown

"A PASSIONATE CHRISTIAN WOMAN"

What does a passionate Christian woman look like?
Well, she’s not a woman who’s perfect, peerless or guiltless, but is as human as you and me.
 Essentially, a passionate Christian woman is someone who has a deep passion for the things of God and is driven to do something about it.

She is a woman who thirsts for God. He is the driving force of her existence, the meaning behind her life. She doesn't live primarily for the latest fads, fashions, or fancies, but for God (1 Peter 3:3,4). She cares little for fame or fortune, recognition or reward. Instead, she has experienced the intense satisfaction of a personal relationship with a holy God, and just as a deer longs for a cool, refreshing stream to enjoy, so she longs for her God (Psalm 42:1).
She hungers for truth.  In a confused world where wrong often seems right, a passionate believer pursues God’s truth with intensity and determination. Never one to accept mere human opinion or feeling-based experience, she considers God’s Word to be as necessary to her as her daily food.   She has a Berean mindset,

(Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.) 

persistently comparing the spoken word to the written Word, and sifting it to find the truth. A passionate Christian woman is passionate about the Bible, for therein God has revealed His heart and mind for mankind.

She loves others with Godly passion. She demonstrates sincere concern, models unconditional love, and does her utmost to influence those around her for heaven. She doesn't portray one who has arrived, but one who knows where she’s going. Then she coaxes and encourages and helps others to join her on her journey. Her love is practical, pure and positive. The motivation for her outreach is her up-reach to God, and she does it with fervency and attention to detail.
She lives today with tomorrow in mind. A passionate Christian woman knows her time is limited. She is acutely aware that her life is as a drop in the bucket of time and eternity. She will pass off the scene all too quickly with only her influence remaining. She realizes she has no second chance, no life “held over on account of rain”. So she is compelled to live each day to its fullest with this goal in mind: to follow hard on the heels of the very God in whom we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28).  Fulfilling today’s duties while fixing her eyes on the goal, she is committed to going out with a bang instead of a whimper.
Finally, a passionate Christian woman avoids sin so she can gain intimacy with God. Though the world allures and tempts, this child of God knows her boundaries and accepts her playground. She doesn't walk the fence row, desirous of the apple across the way. She romps in the field God has given her, content to run home at the end of the day with clean hands and a pure conscience.
Is this a description of the perfect Christian woman? No, but rather of a passionate one. Passionate Christian women don’t have boundless amounts of energy, super-human strength, or a superior spirituality. In fact, they are utterly ordinary – failing, falling, and tired at the end of the day. They are tested and found wanting all too often. But they have heard from God through His Word, seen Him work in their lives, and have experienced peace, answered prayer, and power and comfort through the Holy Spirit. Thus their heart is fixed, their commitment firm, their joy complete. They learn and grow, and find divine purpose in mundane tasks and the every day routine of living.
They are passionate believers living a purposeful life, alive with a passion for God!

Though a passionate Christian woman may fail and fall, she is quick to recognize the love, forgiveness and strength of her God...   ~~Unknown~~

" For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7 NLT) " In quietness and trust is your strength." (Isaiah 30:15 NASB) " Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing." " Let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us."(Hebrews 12:1)  " OBEDIENCE "
God has a beautiful necklace that He wants to put on each of His precious daughters. He holds it in His hands, waiting. It's a necklace that He will fasten around your neck willingly, if you'll let Him. What do you have to do? Simply accept it and wear it. What a beautiful necklace? Obedience. The Christian / believing woman who chooses to wear such a beautiful and unusual necklace will stand out in the world around her. Why? Her disposition is different. She walks in humility rather than demanding her rights. Her attitude is different, especially the way she handles the problems and trials that come her way. She realizes that God has allowed the things that have touched her life. Because of that, she is able to rely on His strength, His peace, and wisdom to carry her through. She's confident that her loving heavenly Father will show her the way. And she is able to resist temptation toward a bad attitude and to guard her heart from the enemy. She's a woman whose life is characterized by obedience to the Word of God.
Let me ask you this: Do others see Jesus shining forth in you? Is your necklace so beautiful that others are compelled to notice?  Do others, even want what you have? Daughters of God, now is the time for you to shine, step out in faith, now is the time to trust God and bring Him glory in all that you do and say.The world will be foreced to pay attention to that kind of a woman ! God is at work and it's His desire to develop in you a spirit of obedience, of being fearless to do His will, of worship, and of love. Is there an area of your life where God is requiring something of you? Do it now and don't delay. For life on earth is short, eternity isn't. Disobedience dulls your necklace. Since He will not go against your will, your part is to cooperate with Him with a sincere humble heart.A willingness to serve. Pause and think about that... (Unknown)

A Proverbs 31 woman

A Proverbs 31 woman, may be a daughter, sister, mother, grand-mother, friend, aunt but above all this she's the Child of the Most High God, The King of Kings.

She's a daughter of a King!

Jesus(YESHUA) died for her too and loves her too!

" A woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates." (Proverbs 31:31) " A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life . . . She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue . . . Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Proverbs 31: 10-11, 25-26, 30, NIV)

"You are too special for Him to forget, too important for Him to neglect, too precious for Him to ignore. That's why He set you before His eyes and crafted you on His palms that He might remember you forever, as long as He lives. So be not discouraged, Jesus is concerned about you always."

God Bless you...
