Standing Strong in His Grace

Jesus you are the glory and the lifter of our heads.  Maybe you do not lift your head in his presence to see Him....Maybe you deal with guilt and shame and don't feel worthy to stand in his presence. Let the blood of Jesus cleanse you from all sins that have beset you. He forgives you as far as the east is from the west. You have to ask for HIS forgiveness. As soon as you do that HE comes in like a flood and cleanses you with His Blood. He is desiring to gently and tenderly lift your face to him. There is no reason to feel downtrodden and hopeless. Maybe you are like me you really want to see him but in your minds eyes you have trouble seeing Jesus where HE is right now. He is no longer on the cross of Calvary.  He rose from the dead by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT and He is able to live in your heart if you allow him. He wants to dine with you, and commune and to bond with you. He desires to sit on the throne  of you heart...dont allow self to have that seat, or any othe...

My brothers and sisters, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing the testing of your faith produced patience. James 1;2-3 We should be thankful and should be joyful and not begrudge different trials we go through in our Christian walk, and definitely not hold a grudge against GOD..  The saying is all but true...we should get better and not get bitter. Its so easy for a root of bitterness to spring forth when we are going through various tribulations. It is not the time to get whiny and let bitterness take its full effect blaming GOD!!!   The testing of our faith not only produces patience but it always draws us closer to GOD thus giving him the glory for bringing us through those trials.   Job is the perfect example...He lost everything. He didn't get bitter and hold a grudge!!! Let's take a good lesson...He set in the ashes of his life that He once had. I am sure he mourned what He lost, but yet His witness and devotion was still true to Jeh...

  Now may the God of hope fill you with all  joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope  by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 Have you ever felt despair and at the end of your rope? I have been there, more often times than I care to admit.  But we do not serve a god of despondency.  Life does not go from one pity party after another....holding onto hopelessness is clutching onto ones self and not letting go of that rope.  For that is holding on to insecurities that make us feel sorry for ourselves No one wants to be around someone who continually feels sorry for themselves and their sore soul life, In fact a heart full of pity will drain another person dry of all energy. Its no wonder in the past people felt repelled to be around me, plus I was a negative Norman to top it off. What are you allowing to fill you up? I would hope that you would be full of the HOLY SPIRIT!!! Saying all this I want to say that we  do not serve a GO...
