Keep growing!




Hebrews 6: 1-2 “Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.”

Pressing on to maturity is something I believe each and every Christian is working at. I believe we are all striving to become more and more like Christ Jesus. Each morning I clothe myself with the Lord Jesus and it is my prayer that I will grow spiritually. 

I am in the process of learning new and wonderful truths each and every day. I know that I am becoming aware of the goodness of my God and that He is a Good, good Father. I have come to a place in my spiritual life where I feel that I am growing each and every day. 

I do also suffer with attacks from the devil on a regular basis. These attacks are through people, through circumstances and finances. When these attacks come they are normally very difficult for me and from my point of view I become worried and start to doubt myself. Then I realize that this is an attack from the devil.  He normally starts off with thoughts that plague my mind of worthlessness and not being able to deal with life in general.  Making me think that I am not loved and that no one really cares about me.

This is when I realize that I need to stand on God’s Word and take charge of my life. Yes, I cannot do anything about my finances, I can only trust in God to help me. I cannot do anything about my car that broke and sitting in the garage.  But I can come to God in humble prayer asking for help.

Prayer

Lord God yes, I am growing spiritually and it is painful many of the time. I do want to pray and ask You please Lord help us. We are facing a number of attacks in our lives this very minute but only You can lift the embargo agents us. Lord if there is any sins that I should be repenting from I pray that You will reveal it to me through Your Holy Spirit. Lord if there is things in my life that I need to change show me and I will do my best in getting it set right. I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
