Fan the Flame of Faith

Let’s fan the Flame of Faith!
Encourage One Another with His Word TODAY!

If it’s not told it’s not heard

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

If you know of someone in the middle of a faith drought, or if you are stuck in one right now, Remind and Recall!!

Remind of His Goodness and Recall His Glorious Gifts.
Remember that His Word Stands FOREVER!

1 Thessalonians 2:13
For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

Faith is The Action of Belief!
It Comes Alive When it is Turned ON!

Hebrews 11 is a fantastic reminder of Faith in Action! Check it out! Share IT! OH the Power that Faith Holds!
By Faith, By Faith, By FAITH!

Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved THROUGH FAITH and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of GOD;

Hebrews 11:6
And without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

“Oh I wish I had that kind of faith.”
Hmmm..

1 Corinthians 12:9
Tells us that Faith is a Gift of the Holy Spirit!

He has Gifted us with the tools to please Him! How Awesome Are His Provisions??
Seriously think about that! He sets us up for Victory!!!
We can not please Him without Faith, and yet The Spirit Gives us Faith!
So Flip the Switch, Reposition!
Turn it on! Put Faith Into Action!!!
How active is the fire of your faith today? Is it cold? Is it smoldering?

Recall what you just read in Hebrews 11:6
He Is a Rewarder of Those Who Seek Him!

Draw near to Him and He will Draw Near to You!

If The Spirit of God dwells in you, then you have what you need. You are well equipped! Faith is not based on the flesh but on The Spirit.

Faith does not consider what we are up against, It overrides it with Truth!

The Word says
If God is for us, who can be against us???
Who?

Pretty Much …Who is greater than God?

I pray for a Rekindling Of Faith!
May He Turn your spark into a flame and your flame into a BLAZE!

God Bless!

Who Are You Wearing?

Who Are You Wearing?
This is a question that is asked a lot on a Red Carpet, a special event usually for the stars of this world.

If you look at yourself today, Who do you wear?

When people see your walk, can they tell right away or do they need to question?

Who do you represent in this world?
Do you shine?
Do people say, I want that!
Do they ask you where they can get it?
Do you only wear it for the Red Carpet events?

JESUS offers Something in a One Size Fits All. It’s woven with only the finest handcrafted material.
Salvation! Love! Genteelness! Kindness! Righteousness! Faith!
Truth! Hope! Prosperity!
Joy! Peace! Comfort!
Forgiveness! LIFE!
Put It On! Put Him On!

With Christ, EVERYDAY is a Red Carpet Event! You are His Shining Star! Do not misunderstand, you do not shine by your own special ability, you shine because You Are His! You Shine because of the red that He poured out! You are here so He Can Shine Through You!

Ephesians 4:24
and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Yes, if Jesus Christ is The Lord of Your Life , this is your Attire! Don’t let it hang in the closet! Wear it to work, wear it to the grocery store, wear it around friends, wear it with your family, wear it Everywhere! Remember we are not representing the world, we represent God’s Kingdom within the world.

Matthew 5:16
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Isaiah 61:10
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Cloth yourself in His Protection!

Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 PUT ON the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore PUT ON the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Who are you wearing today?

God Bless!

I started to write that I hope you feel the presence of God today. I hope that you feel His love and see his hand in your life. Then I backed up a bit, what I Really hope is that You KNOW Him. The Truth is, feelings are very human, they are intertwined with our emotions and have the ability to play with our thoughts. They can become overwhelming and at the same time, a little deceptive.
We will not always feel His presence. We will not always feel His love or even see His hand in our lives. Our emotions can blind us from that. Sometimes we do not see or feel the workings until it’s all said and done. Pain not only stings it stuns. Just because we do not feel him in the time of the struggle, it does not mean He is absent!
Our emotions and feelings hide His position from our sight, if we are not rooted in the His truth.
In the middle of a painful struggle our hurt can deceive us into thinking we are very much alone.
The pain says I’m alone, I see no hope in this situation, WHERE ARE YOU GOD?
The TRUTH says, He will NEVER leave or forsake You!
JESUS said I am The Way The Truth and The Life!
ABIDE in His Truth today regardless of feeling.
KNOW His Word!
KNOW HIM!
KNOW the Love of God!
KNOW His Position within your life!
KNOW his works within your surroundings.

You may not always feel, but when it comes to God, KNOWING is the battle Won!
KNOW This!

Proverbs 28:26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely will be delivered.

Deuteronomy 31:8
“The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Romans 8:3-39
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hebrews 11:1 11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

It is My Hope That You KNOW Who You Are IN CHRIST JESUS!

Galatians 3:26
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Rom 6
14For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

He told us these things so we would rely on His Truth and not on our circumstances.

John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

1 John 4:16
16And so we KNOW and rely on the love God has for us.
17 God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

God Bless! Stand Firm and Be Confident!! KNOW!

Beautiful Weed

Consider the dandelion, for most adults they are weeds that show up everywhere. We see them as a hindrance, we see no use for their existence. Then After they have turned, we see them blowing around leaving empty stems and so quickly the cycle starts again. What an annoyance!

Matthew 18:3
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

What do children see when they look at a field of dandelions?
FLOWERS
GIFTS
WISHES
HOPES
What do they do with them? They
MAKE-BELIEVE
They ADORN their heads with CROWNS. They wave them in the air and spin around with JOY!
They See the beauty of the Dandelion from Start to Finish.

The Gifts we receive in Life are like the dandelion. We do not always look at them the way children do. If we do see the beauty in the yellow, we do not always appreciate the moment of change, when we are left standing with an empty stem.
God’s gifts are BLESSINGS From START to FINISH. It may not always look that way for us. Sometimes we do encounter weeds. We face setbacks, we face ugliness or loss. This stage is Still The Gift, We only Need to See It THAT WAY!
God has a Vision beyond our understanding!

James 1

2Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Start looking at His gifts with a thankful heart no matter what Stage you are in. Have HOPE, Have JOY, ADORN Your head with HIS BLESSINGS because YOU ARE HIS!
BELIEVE in His Promises! Recall His truth while in the midst of a change.
Look forward to the many seeds and lessons that He will spread from this moment.

We go through many seasons in this life and every single one will serve its purpose. The true gift, is that God is with us every step of the way.

Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

John 11:4
But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

God Bless you today and may you find His Love within the beautiful weeds!

Push!

Now is the time to Push through the burn!

You are in the middle of a temporary pain. Trust and Believe that there is a God given Beauty, waiting to be delivered.

Proverbs 4:25
Let your eyes look directly ahead
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.

When I was in labor with my son, my contractions were pretty intense. Like a lot of woman, I had previously worked out a plan with my doctor for pain management. It turns out that I waited a little too long to put that plan into action. My body went into GAME ON mode and my mind went into, TIME OUT mode! I could have ripped that bed railing right off! My mind was focused on all the pain of the moment and as if that wasn’t enough, I was also thinking of the pain to come.
It set in, I was going to feel every bit of this birth! That was a scary realization! My support team, from what I remember, they were also consumed with my pain and trying to find the doctor. I heard and felt the sense of helplessness in my husbands voice.

For a moment I was utterly out of my mind and out of control in pain! I then felt a cheek right against my cheek, a firm steady voice of the nurse. She was right there to redirect my focus. “You are doing this, you are going to push through this pain because your baby is just beyond it.”

You can ask any mother out there, and she will tell you the same. Love overrides that pain. As soon as you see that little face, as soon as you hear that cry! Love overrides!
The nurse was my steady, she had dealt with this day in and day out! She knew the amount of firmness to put into her tone, she knew I was physically in need of a grounding.
After all, there was no backing out, no quitting. This nurse was able to guid my thoughts past my pain and straight to the prize.

So this was an actual labor and delivery I’m talking about, I know not everyone has experienced giving birth. I do know that there isn’t a person on this planet who hasn’t experienced some kind of life pain, some kind of life labor. We know that life doesn’t always work out according to our plans. The Next thing you know the intensity of our surrounding situation gets so overbearing so overwhelming that we lose focus. We fix our eyes on the struggle. Emotionally and physically we are distracted and weak. We not only feel the pain of the moment, we let fear talk us into future pains to come.

We all go through labors in life, but one thing we can be certain of is God’s plan.
When we put our trust in Christ no matter how painful a situation, no matter how scary or how ugly life can get, we can trust that there will be a blessing beyond the pain.

That is His promise to us! He works all things for the good of those who love Him. We may end up in a position that we didn’t expect but God is Great, He can take any one situation and use it to create multiple babies!
Beautiful, Full Healthy Babies!

Our God can do that! He can do that because He is an Almighty, Loving, and Merciful God. He is a God of Strength and Peace! He is Steady, Firm and Gentle all at the same time. He knows exactly what we need to get our focus back in the game!
In Him, quitting would be in vain.

When we are out of our minds swirling in the storms of life, do not forget who’s cheek is pressed against yours!
Do not forget who anchors you.
I know it’s rough, I know your tired, but now is the time to refocus, trust and believe, He knows what’s coming next.

Be careful who you reach for as your support, Friends and family may mean well but they may not always give us advice that will point to The Lord and His will. Their emotions can be tied to ours as well as the situation, so Seek Him First!

Whether you’re Laboring through a struggling marriage or a drifting friendship, seek Him First! Whether, you are suffering through a loss of a loved one, or battling an illness, or dealing with financial uncertainties, seek Him First. If it’s addiction or a prodigal child, seek Him, Let Him be your Steady. Know that you are not alone, you are Loved by a God that deals with this stuff day in and day out! Let Him be your steady.

You are going to do this! Push through the burn, it is temporary! Believe that God has a Baby just beyond it!

Let His Love Override and reach for the prize!
