Take the ROPE...

-

 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 GOD who feels sorry for our situations that we get ourselves in. He is not a harsh GOD, but I sense that HE sends people our way who do not take no slack. Do not get me wrong, He is a GOD of all hope. But He wants  us to wake up from that pity feast and get on fire for him!!! Do not gieve the HOLY SPIRIT!!!

God is throwing you a rope of hope this day. He wants to get you out of that despair. He wants to see that He is that light at the end of the tunnel. We have got to hold on to that hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.

GOD has more than enough hope for us all...We have got to believe that.

 There is power in believing that GOD can...When we give up hope we are saying that GOD is not able to help us, and any time we feel sorry for ourselves we are playing into the hand of the devil. For satan wants us to be negative and to not give GOD the glory by humbly counting our many blessings.

Father God, please give me hope to believe in YOU, and believe that you have abundant life for me by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. Please help me to stop feeling sorry for myself, and to get my eyes totally upon your saving grace to make Jesus not only my Savior but my Lord as well...Forgive my for walking in selfishness. Help me to minister that hope to those around me in Jesus mighty name, AMEN!!!

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
