Life To The Body

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you (Romans 8:11 NKJV)

Life to the body
Is what we yearn for
Because
We were created to
Be healthy
However
Life comes with shocks
And we watch sickness
And pain
Destroy without mercy

Lord of Mercy
Quicken our mortal bodies
And let life reign
In all being
Heal us
And protect us
From sickness
Let your love
Rule in our lives
And overshadow us
Amen

A Great Light

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Grace, Home, Inspirational, light, Scripture, The Word
A Great Light

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him (1 John 4:9 NKJV)

His throne is above
His Kingdom is
In another realm
He is our father
Filled with love
And mercy
He sent His son
Into our world
To demonstrate
His great love

Those who were
Once in shackles
Have beheld a great light
That gave them life
Praise God
Because
His son has
Given us life
By the great sacrifice
On the cross

Along The Way

Bible, Christian Faith, Grace, Home, Inspirational, light, Scripture, The Word
Along The Way

But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. (2 Thessalonians 3:13 NKJV)

Sometimes it gets
Tiring along the way
When we keep doing good
And work hard
And things are still tough
Then we watch the bad guys
Succeed in everything
And we are tempted to
Give up our faith
Or compromise our faith

It gets tiring along the way
And we loose confidence
And forsake Christ as our first love
We begin to do things
We never did before
We become lukewarm Christians
That Christ warned
That he will spit
Out of His mouth

Even though it can get tiring
Paul is encouraging
All of us
Not to get
Tired of doing good
We must cling to Christ
And believe that
He is a rewarder
Of those who diligently
Seek Him

May God’s grace
Be with us
And make us
Steadfast and faithful
Till the end

I Know How It Hurts

Bible, Christian Faith, Emotions, Home, Inspirational, light, Sorrow, The Word
I Know How It Hurts

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:31 – 4:32 NKJV)

I know how it hurts
Trust me, I know

When you are betrayed
By the very ones
Who should protect you
It feels worse than
A million arrows
To the soul
It breaks the heart
And Spirit

Child of mercy
Forget the pain
Forget the sorrow
I know how it hurts
But remember
That we are all human
Just remember
That the devil can use
Anyone to break
Our hearts
If they are not truly
Devoted to Christ
That one who broke
Your heart
Was simply under
The influence of evil
He was hypnotized
To break you

The Lord is bigger
The Lord is stronger
Forget the hurts
Bitterness and grievances
And forgive the offender
Who cruelty hurt you
Betrayed you and disappointed you
Love is stronger than death
And it is only in pure love
That we can see victory
Because no one can claim
To be without sin
We have also hurt others
In the past
And God forgave us.

The Lord Is Mighty

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, light, Pictures, Power, The Word
The Lord Is Mighty

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church (Ephesians 1:22 NKJV)

He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body, using that power by which he is able to bring all things under his rule. Philippians 3:21)

Who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand–with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. ( 1 Peter 3:22)

The Lord is Mighty
He rules supreme
Above every power
The waves
And winds
Obey Him
Death bows in
Awe of Him
Angels fall
Prostrate
Before Him

The Lord is mighty
Kings perish from
His rebuke
His breath destroys evil
Demons quake and
Quiver at His presence
The mountains melt
In fear of Him
And sicknesses flee
At His name

The Lord is mighty
He deserves all the praise
Honor, thanksgiving and adoration
May we never cease to praise Him
Because He is mighty.

Love All The Time

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, light, Scripture, The Word
Love All The Time

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you (Matthew 5:44 NKJV)

And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:47 – 5:48 NKJV)

But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. “And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same (Luke 6:32 – 6:33 NKJV)

Love all the time
When it’s difficult
And when it’s hard

Love all the time
When the sun rises
And when the sun sets
When it’s raining
When the sun is at its peak
And when it’s dry

Love all the time
Through pain and disappointment
Accepting the flaws of others
And overlooking hurt
And insults
And weaknesses

Love always
Without conditions
And expectations
Because
That is how Christ loved us
He loved us
Even with our
Weaknesses, imperfections
And ingratitude

The greatest love is truly revealed
When the recipient
Of that love
Has nothing to offer
And can’t pay us back
Even the pagans
Love those who love them.

Bold As A Lion

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Holiness, Home, Inspirational, The Word
Bold As A Lion

The wicked flee when no one pursues,

but the righteous are bold as a lion.

(Proverbs 28:1 ESV)

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 NKJV)

Peace and faith are fruits of the Holy Spirit. When the Bible talks of sound mind it is talking about a mind that is not ravaged by fear.

The more we cleanse and purify our hearts by Holiness and meditating on the word of God, the more we attract the mind of Christ.

The mind of Christ is pure. The mind of Christ is the word of God and it is seven times purified. We must make conscious effort not to dwell on our negative circumstances and our problems.

We must replace that habit by meditating on the greatness of God and the littleness of our problems. We must refuse the see giants. Giant is an evil report, negative circumstances and our problems are evil reports.

They are there quite alright but we must choose to see God and His greatness in what He had done on the Cross and what He can do from His throne of grace where we approach with faith to experience mercy in our time of need.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8 NKJV)

Meditating on evil reports and worldly superstitions will always breed fear. Sin also breeds fear because the Spirit man knows what the head does not know.

The Spirit man of a wicked man knows that all that is left for him is fiery judgement and hell even though the head of the wicked man does not believe in judgement.

Fear is judgment and judgement is fear. Fear has to do with punishment, it is destruction of the mind. With fear, the mind now functions contrary to God’s original design. After Adam sinned, he was afraid and hid from God.

The cure to fear is the word of God and holiness.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16 NKJV)

It is only when the word of God is dwelling richly in us that we will become righteous and bold as a lion.

The Ends Of The Earth

The Ends Of The Earth

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. (Psalm 2:8 ESV)

You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask (James 4:2 NKJV)

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14 NKJV)

What a wonderful scripture and what a wonderful God. It is very important for us to remember that we must ask. No matter how much we confess and declare we must also ask.

The Bible commands this. Supplication is very important because it is a display of humility and confidence in Him who can do what no man can do.

God Himself has promised to give us the ends of the earth for our inheritance so nothing must hold us back. We must persist and persevere until we experience His grace and mercy.

Paul said, imitate me as I imitate Christ. Paul and Jesus both lived lives of prayer and supplication. If they could not neglect prayer, we also must not.

Prayer is the lifeblood of the Christian life.
