Just a quick message from God's word...
"Whoever believes in me as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'" -John 7:38 (ESV Version)

God's Word!
"I am able to do all things through the One [Jesus Christ] who strengthens me."
I am using this verse as motivation and encouragement for my midterm/final exam (pt. 1) tomorrow!
I hope you use it for whatever is making you feel frustrated, defeated, or discouraged!
God Bless you!

God's Word!
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized everyone on of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost."
When one has come to the realization that one is a sinner (have been living a life contrary to what God says) the next step is to repent of those sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ! Then recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost!
Becoming a Christian isn't about going through rituals...it is simply making the decision to turn away from living sinfully and showing that by choosing to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ!
I love it! I love Jesus!
Do you love Him too? :)
~God Bless!

God's Word!
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us."
I hope this verse encourages someone to understand we are MORE THAN conquerors throught Jesus!
Regardless of what you're going through, understand that!

God's Word!
He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."
How small is a mustard seed?

God's Word!
"Immediately the father of the boy cried out and said, 'I believe; help my unbelief'."
This scripture comes from the man who asked Jesus, if He is able to do anything, please heal his son (of demonic possession).
He didn't really believe that Jesus could do everything, hence the if. I sometimes feel like this man...certain situation seem so big and impossible in my eyes, that I find myself thinking if, when it come to Jesus being my deliverer.
Lord, please forgive me and help my unbelief!

God's Word!
"But he answered and said It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God".
I like this scripture because to me it seems to say that people not only need food to live, but also the word of God, without it we will die.

Matthew to Revelation In Jan To Dec: Matthew 1
Hey Guys,
Like I brifely mentioned in a previous post, I will (along with my church) will be reading the New Testament, Matthew to Relevation this year.
I started January 1 and I finished the book of Matthew on the 24th, but I will be going over each chapter again and writing what I got or understood from each Chapter.
My brief understanding of Matthew 1:
- Matthew 1 starts off with the Lineage of Jesus Christ. It starts with Abraham who had Isaac and goes all the way down to Jacob who had Joseph, who became Mary's (Jesus' mother) husband.
- When Joseph heard that Mary was pregnant, he thought that she had been unfaithful and wanted to leave her. It wasn't until an angel of the Lord came and told him that Mary was pregnant with a child of the Holy Spirit and that His name will be called Jesus!
I could only imagine how Joseph was feeling around this time. First he finds out that his fiancee` was pregnant and it sure wasn't by him! And then to be told that it was a child of the Holy Spirit! That's a lot to take in.
God Bless!

God's Word!
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
Faith. It is so very important when it comes to being a Christian. The Bible says, without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
I believe that if I pray believing that my God is prayer answering God, according to His word I will receive it!

Making Time For Him-- Why Does It Seem So Hard?
It's been somewhat of a New Years resolution to learn more about God's Word. I don't like the feeling of reading my Bible to be like a chore that needs to be done and it's been feeling like that a lot since i'm reading through the New Testament this year, so a few chapters a day.
I tend to have my 'Bible reading sessions' as a checklist-- something to do and get out the way-- and this isn't helping me or pleasing God!
I'm working on setting aside an hour everyday to read and study the Bible. I really want this to work out as planned, because there is nothing I want more that to get closer and closer to God!
GOD BLESS!

God's Word!
Psalm 121: 1-2 (KJV)
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hill, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."
I love the Psalms because it's so encouraging. I can be down in the dumps, but pick up my bible, flip through to Psamls and feel encouraged. My help definitley comes from Him! Family, friends and loved ones can be of great help, but when it comes to situations where I feel alone and depressed, I know who to go to!

God's Word!
Matthew 6:13 (KJV)
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you".
I am in love with this verse! So much so, that I've made it my motto for the upcoming new year!
I love it so much because I believe it's so true. I've had people from church tell me that when you turn your attention to Jesus, he'll allow everything to fall into place - what's meant to be yours will be yours when you seek Him first. I definitely believe that because, I've noticed that when I'm in tune with His spirit, I'm worry-free and at peace - things just seem to flow into place!
From this day on, I'm putting Jesus first and I'm gonna let Him provide my education, my career, my home, my husband, my children and everything else he has for me!

God's Word!
Philippians 2:3 (NET Version)
"Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself."
I've been hearing a lot about Humility lately and this verse of scripture is just about that!
I've been working on being humble (especially around the people who make it so hard) because I know that's what God wants!

God's Word!
1 Corinthians 13:2
"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity [love], I am nothing."
Love is very important! It's rewarded above having enough
faith to remove mountains!
That says a lot!
We need to make sure that we have love
there's no way to be a Christian--Christ-like
and not have Love. Not the kind of love that discriminates
and is only shown to certain types of people, but Love for all of God's creation!

God's Word!
Psalm 144: 15
"Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the lord."
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord. I am so happy that the God that serve...is truly Lord! He's not just in my head, or my heart, he's not just in the church...he is everywhere, he is Lord!

God's Word!
Psalm 51:12
"Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit."
There are times that Christians go through tough times and we throw ourselves pity parties, but we have to remember, the God that we serve! We must remember that no matter what we go through, we are blessed because we have salvation. We serve a God that has already conquered the world and all it's problems.
I will pray this scripture when I'm feeling down.

God's Word!
1 Samuel 2:2
"There is none as holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God."
This verse explains itself! I just Love it!
There is no one as holy as God!
There is no one that compares to Him; No One that can be a substitute to Him!
There is no one, no thing...not even a rock or anything as strong as a rock, that is as strong and stable and reliable and dependable...as our God! Praise His name! :-)
~God Bless! :)
Don't Worry About A Thing...Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright!
Hey Readers,
I finished my Bible study (the book of Esther) about an hour ago, then I was just flipping through my Bible and then stopped on Jeremiah 17 and my eyes kind of scrolled down to the 7th and 8th verses which says:
(In King James Version) "Blessed be the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. (verse 8) For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
And in New Living translation says "Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. (Verse 8) They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green and they go right on producing delicious fruit."
I stopped and re-read those verses over and over and then I realized what God was saying to me. NO MATTER WHAT is going on, just Trust in the LORD and everything is going to be alright!
Can you imagine how hard that can be? Imagine being sent eviction or foreclosure letters, not having enough money to get your next meal; family, friends and loved ones saying "see ya!" And still having a smile on your face saying "God I Trust you!" ???!!! The easier/natural and more human thing to do, might be to break down crying screaming "I give up!" or "I don't know what the [insert obscenities here] I'm going to do!"
BUT...remember Who made the Heavens and the Earth, who keeps the sun from crashing into the us, whose words alone can calm a storm! Why wouldn't He come to our rescue and save us from our little problems?? Yes, I said little, because compared to everything mentioned before, our problems are little, tiny, minute!
He make sure to provide for the animals, one way or the other, so WHY would he not do the same for us, who he loves and cares more for?
I hope this scripture verse encourages you as much as it encouraged me!!!

God's Word!
Esther 4:16 (New King James Version)
"Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."
This is a famous verse for me...I've heard this many times during preachings and such. But I haven't (in a long time anyway), read and study this verse in-depth. Esther, this young woman that God chose to do his work, was faced with a choice of her life or saving her people. She told her people to pray and fast for her because she decided to do what God wants her to do; and if she dies...then she dies! That's so amazing. Knowing that I can possibly die doing what God wants me to do...what will be my answer? Yes, Lord yes...with Your help, of course! :)
~God Bless! :)

God's Word
Psalm 37:5 (Kings James version)
"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
I love this verse because it reminds me to not be all stressed or anxious about anything. I'm going through certain situations right now where I need certain things and I feel like God's not answering fast enough and this scripture really reminds me that I need to focus on really serving God instead of on the things I need. If I commit my ways to him and focus on living for Him, He will work EVERYTHING out.
~God Bless! :)
