Standing Strong in His Grace

  I have been through some major things in my life.  It has not been easy at all.  There have many times when I stopped caring and gave in and gave up.  That didn’t make my suffering stop. If anything, it made matters worse.  More than likely prolonging my season of suffering.  A lot of times we don’t understand our suffering.  We take it out on God and everyone around us and don’t understand why we are going through it and God doesn’t seem to be around… God does not turn His back from us.  We may turn our back on Him time after time.  And then we wonder why we are going through what we have?  He turns us over to our own devices and then we wonder why we are in the same rut over and over again. Jesus greatly suffered at His crucifixion.  He could have easily called on legions of heaven’s angels.  Where would we be right now if Jesus took an  easy way out? Not where we are, that is for sure! God has not forgotten nor forsaken your suffering.  He sees it. He is omnipresent meaning He is

What Satan has demolished...God will rebuild in His timeframe...Just like Job, I have set in the ashes and rubble of a life I once knew. Do not be discouraged but put your hope in GOD. Though He slay me, I will still trust him. Job 13:15. I praise My Jehovah, what was meant for my destruction God has plans for my good. In the end He will bless me double. I am here to give you hope. I am not going to focus on the negatives in my life, but the positive. I was once very tormented in my mind. Negative thoughts overwhelmed me. I was stressful and an angry and hateful man, disturbed and miserable. Oh but then there was the grace of God that revealed to me the compassion of Jesus with his tender mercy of light came upon the scene. He melted my heart with His love and I will never be the same!!! Until you let go of alllll that trash...all that evil hate and unforgiveness, you will never tangibly experience The tender and very real love of the Father. He makes streams in the desert places amen?

Dear Jesus, I just want to express my thanks and praise to you right now.  Your Presence gets stronger every minute...I know that the end of the world is near. Your glory covers the earth and your power is displayed in the beauty of creation.  I thank you for creating me for this time and place. I know in the past I have questioned my existence. Now after all this time, I know beyond a doubt you created me for such a time as this. You are pouring out your grace...Yes the richness of your grace cannot be taken for granted!!! You want to ravish your great love on mankind. Here I am Jesus purify me and use me to bring lost souls to you...and bring those that are religious and going through the motions of this life to see your grace and truth in me.  The word of God says you were full of grace and truth. Help me to reach out and bring hope and healing to the nations of this world. I surrender my heart and soul and body to Your will and plan. YOU have done so much and you want to do so much

My dear Jesus, I am so thankful for my many blessings that I now know are miracles from you. Waking up is a miracle in my eyes, plus the many blessings I have of friends and family. I cant think you enough for these good things that I have taken for granted my whole life.  For you have brought to mind that those good things are truly miracles. How overwhelming are you miracles.  Many people will not wake up to see tomorrow.   You have awoken my heart during this time of the Thanksgiving holiday to be truly grateful. My life could be much worse but you have extended your mercy and grace to me in ways I have not even thought of... ...So many people are angry and bitter and negative, but if they truly had a revelation of gratefulness they would see how blessed we really are...there am many homeless and destitute people in the world longing to be living in my shoes.  I am thankful for your many miracles. I think of the old hymn titled "Count Your Blessings."  The chorus goes some

There I was...afraid of the dark It was there that I saw  the way I was not,  But I'm leaving it all behind,  leaving it all behind... When the race is almost run  then you fall before the Son,  He picks you up and He puts you back in place,  your His Soldier and He is your race.  Jesus is our victory,  rock of all salvation  cornerstone for you and me,  so pick up your pieces and be strong, You are a soldier of the King... Now I am royalty not a common man as others see a priest of the most high GOD priest of the most high God Come and bow before His throne seek His glory and not your own Jesus is our victory Rock of all salvation Cornerstone for you and me so pick up the pieces and be strong Your a solder of the KING SOLDIER OF THE KING

When the weight of the world...  is heavy on your shoulders,  and the things of this life,  are too hard to handle. Take a good look at His Word...  and... don't say I can't. With God as your witness He will make you  STRONG to take the test. Because, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me I can take all things that the world throws at me with God as my witness I can stand faithfully... If I just trust in HIS WORD  then Christ will strengthen me! So, you got chains on your feet?  Don't just stand there! Stand up and shout and shake the chains free! Take another look at HIS WORD and don't say I can't with GOD as your witness He will make you strong to take the test!!! I can do all things  though CHRIST who strengthens me I can take all things that the world throws at me With GOD as my witness I can stand faithfully If I stand on His WORD  then Christ will strengthen me.
