Standing Strong in His Grace

Remember your favorite toy as a child? What was it? Maybe it was a truck or a doll or a puzzle perhaps that you received as a gift at a birthday party or Christmas. Do you still have it?  Did you play with it for a while or a short time?   Your dad and mom knew you well enough to know what you needed and wanted.  Was there a time when you did not get what you really wanted? I am attempting to paint a mental picture in your mind...0nly you know the answers as you search your memories for your favorite gift. Now I would like to switch over to writing about spiritual gifts with a few scriptures from God's Word Translation: All of you must turn to God and change the way you think and act, each of you must be baptized in the name of Yeshua Christ so that your sins will be forgiven.  Then you will receive the Holy Spirit as a gift.  Acts 2:38 So, when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, you will receive the "gift" of the Holy Spirit.  This is a promise that God has given u

I cannot believe I am typing out and publishing this on my blog but here goes: Here lately I am really putting for a whole lot of effort and "hard work" on Richard.  It has been diligently coming forth for several months now. I am becoming more focused and committed to attending a church I actually joined last year. Just now I have committed my life to serve on the greet team at church. I am more active and actually talking more smiling more and just being happy for the first in a very long time... The last thing I want you to think is that I am proud and bragging...That is not my true intent here but show you how far I have actually come!!! I have run away from facing things most of my teenage and adult life. It is very humiliating and embarrassing to step into church but I make and force Richard's flesh to do it anyway!!!.  I have isolated and secluded my life from the church mostly and society. As well as suffered terrible seasons of mental anguish and breakdowns on an

  Yes and I say Yes...I see your plight and yes I am desiring you to grow in your faith and place all your trust on me. I will accomplish what seems impossible and I will provide in my time.    Just lean on me with your whole heart. Do not focus on the negative. It is very easy to put your trust in what you can see around you... It takes faith to grow to see the path in front of you for the my future and plan is not seen with the visible eye.... You can only see through the eyes of your heart not what you see with your natural eye.   Open the eyes of your heart for I am standing close beside your family and everything concerning them...Just lean and submit to ME and put all your trust in my plans. Place your future in my hands and dont put your trust in what you are seeing.  The enemy likes to confuse and cause worry and alarm. You will look back and one day see my anointed hand upon everything in your life.   The enemy is out to sift you, but you are strong in me and in my word.  The

  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. Nothing is too difficult for me. Dont be angry, just let it roll and go...let all the rage and bitterness "not take root" in your heart, because when and if it actually takes root in the soil of your heart, it gets much tougher to get rid of what hides beneath the surface.  I want to go much deeper with you...And you will reap what you sow...allow the Holy Spirit to uproot all bitter weeds as your crucify your flesh by the Spirit's power.... Sow the Word inside your heart and mediate upon my precepts. For I plan to cultivate and raise you up and place a beautiful spring garden in your heart...I will send the rains from that never ending fountain to cause growth and increase in your life...Plow up the fertile ground of your heart and allow my WORD to take root. Give you whole heart to me, and dont take it back when things dont go as you think they should be. Did I not say that I will prepare a place for you. Behold
