"I've got the power!"

So I need to deal with three flaws in my own life:  I am closed off, I am demanding and I am too direct.

Hmm now that is a new challenge that I am facing, but as I believe God is in control over my life I feel that “I’ve got the power – yes, the Holy Spirit”  “Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world.”

At least all is not lost for me I do have some good qualities and they are

I am cool

I have good humour

I am creative

Ohhhh here it comes …. I am good looking

And yes, I have charisma

I am cheerful

I am spontaneous

Ohhhhh and of course …. I am attractive

Please don’t forget that I am intelligent!

Thank You Lord for creating someone as special as me, do you agree?

Well, I cannot impress all the people all the time and I actually just want to impress my God but I cannot do that because He created me perfect!  I am of Royal blood, Jesus Christ !

You have a lovely day now, think of all the good qualities you have and those which needs some work.

Be blessed, you are a blessing

41o Celsius On This Wednesday

My New Year resolutions is to actually do something about my look.  I have decided to put in the effort of looking gorgeous at my age.  The past couple of months have been really difficult for me and I want to lift my appearance to being gorgeous again.

My choice of dress is a simple A line fitted dress with brown background and patterns with peach coloured and yellow motives.  This sleeveless dress length is acceptable and I feel comfortable in the dress.  I chose to add a little black three quarter jumper to the mix to round of my look.  

For accessories I decided on peach coloured earnings and necklace and my beautiful Dunne Leather handbag with comfortable shoes.

I think I want to check in every Wednesday with you to see what you think about my outfit, how I can improve my look and work on refining me.  I do so want to look gorgeous again.

Do have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Gorgeous me J

Stay humble

2 Samuel 7:18 Living Bible (TLB)

¹⁸ Then David went into the Tabernacle and sat before the Lord and prayed, “O Lord God, why have you showered your blessings on such an insignificant person as I am?

King David was someone that was really close to the Lord and he sat before the Lord humbling himself in prayer.  Stating that he did not perceive his live to be of any significance, yet God blessed King David and loved him.

How I wish I could amount to some significance, I don’t know that I am worthy of much but I do know that I need to stay humble and draw near to the Lord my God.

My thought today is stay humble, sit down at God’s feet and wait for His guidance and insight and wisdom and knowledge.  Lord God in Jesus Name, direct my feet and direct my thoughts and keep me in Your loving hands.

Start your day right

Good Morning

This morning I was thinking of how awesome it is to sit in the presence of the Lord my God.  It makes me feel alive and well.  Some days when I get out of bed I feel good and today I feel even better.  God is good to me all the time.

I have been thinking of my statements and want to share them with you.  You also know them and perhaps this will help you get into a positive and good attitude.

My statement for today:

Lord Jesus I clothe myself with You today and state that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  (Philippians 4: 13).
My God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phillipians 4: 19).
God has not give me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.  (2 Timothy 1 :7)
God has dealt to every man a measure of faith. (Romans 12: 3)
The Lord is the strength of my life. (Psalm 27: 1) The people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. (Daniel 11: 32)(2 Corinthians 2 : 14)
Christ Jesus has become for me wisdom from God. (1 Corinthians 1: 30)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8: 1)  I am in Christ; therefore I am free from condemnation.
With his stripes I am healed.  (Isaiah 53: 3)
where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3: 17) My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
I cast all my cares upon him, for He cares for me.  (1 Peter 5: 7).

Be bold and be courages as you face today, the Lord Jesus will be with you.  Amen

'Their faces were turned the other way.'

Life is difficult and when people make mistakes I have learned there aren’t really honourable people living among us.  Who will turn their faces away from someone else’s mistakes?

My failures stair me in the face all the time and I have prayed about it and repented from what I have done.  The real problem is that other people who saw what I did are like Ham in the Old Testament.  They go around boasting and telling everyone they see about my sins. 

For a very long time I have thought and prayed about the matter and in this week I received this word that happened a long, long time ago. 

Reading Genesis 9 it tells of Noah who planted a vineyard and when the time came he made some wine and he became drunk.  In his stupor he removed all his clothes and his youngest son Ham walked in on his naked father.

Making a joke probably about what he saw telling both his brother Shem and Japheth. 

The interesting part is that once the two older brothers heard what Ham saw they didn’t find it funny, they took a garment and threw it over their shoulders walking backwards into their father’s tent to cover Noah’s nakedness. 

Noah heard about this and a curse was spoken over Ham, ‘Cursed be Canaan!  The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.’  He also said ‘Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem!  May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.”

Think on this, Proverbs 11: 13 ‘A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.’  

My thinking what would you do when God reveals your ‘nakedness’ to the world, how would you feel?  You know use it, don’t use it.

God Bless you, you are a blessing.

Invoke God's Blessing on your life today!!!

Psalm 5: 3  In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

As I started my day today I come to the LORD with my requests and this is a big request today, I want to pray asking GOD to invoke HIS Blessing upon my life today.

Isaiah 65: 16 AMP 'He who invokes a blessing on himself ... shall do so by saying, may the God of truth and fidelity [the AMEN] bless me.'

Good Morning Abba Father

As I sit here today it is my prayer LORD that I may come into Your presence in humility and humbly pray Abba Father that You LORD God will bless me today.  I remind You LORD God of the word that is written in Isaiah 65: 16 and ask that by Your mercy and Grace Lord I may be blessed today and the coming year.

As Moses on Your instruction blessed the Israelites I humbly want to also pray the blessing of Moses into my life and the lives of my family and friends.  'The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.' and the God added, "And I will bless them".  Numbers 6: 24 - 26

ABBA Father, Lord my God I pray this prayer over my life today, expecting Your supernatural favour and mercy and most of all LORD God, I know You will bless me.  In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen

Trust

As I think of a word for today I want to leave the word 'Trust' with you.It's something I struggle with and I cannot help myselfas a child my Father taught me 'never trust anyone'I don't trust people in general.Considering my life and where I find myself it has become clear to me thatthe number one problem in life for me 'trust'.  It really makes life interestingwhen I trust and when I don't trust people.As a Christian it is important to trust people because you need to believe that they aretrustworthy. 

Proverbs 3:5-6

If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgement and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.

I want to encourage myself and you to trust and especially trust in God completely awesome.

Prayer

Oh Lord please help me to trust people but most of all I need to pray asking that I learn to trust in YOU whole heartedly.  Please teach me and help me as I draw near to You and then also to practice forgiveness.  In the Holy Name of Jesus.  Amen
