Standing Strong in His Grace

Jesus will be with you in the highest and lowest of times. Even on those dark and dreary days when everything around us fails completely. During those trying times does it seem like he could not possibly be there for you?   My friends, He is still working things together for you behind the scenes to bring you into the glorious riches of His awesome grace.  He is seeking to work powerfully within you if you allow Him to!!  You have to walk by faith even when you do not see things working in your favor. For He is the God of all grace...  That is not always so easy; to see things working through His eyes of faith.  You have to "faith it until you make it," and not allow satan to rob you of the joy of God's presence. We have to allow Jesus to take the lead and lean on Him one hundred percent...all other ground is sinking sand.  We won't be able to stand without leaning on someone or something. Give Jesus a try, he will never fail you nor will be abandon yo...

I am not a big communicator at all. I am quite the opposite. If I have nothing to say I "usually" don't say anything. I am very much an introvert and loner, but you could never tell that from my writings. I may have one friend or two I speak on the phone with...I have no one else really, I feel that I can freely to open up to and not sure why I am like that. I could really beat myself up over it, everyone else does a good job of it for me, but I have come to realize what a waste of time that is... God has given me the gift of writing out my words. So, if it really bugs you, take it up with the big man upstairs... I just put my headphones on and cut on my music that centers me on what GOD wants to say through me and I type away! I have four blogs that I write on.  and I just published my second short book of Christian Free verse prose. It seems that I have many layers or built-up walls in my life, and I am not sure why I am like this. I have always been an unusually quiet ...

The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.    But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.  Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.   Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.  Galatians 5:17-18, 24-25 We must get to a place in Jesus where we give him all out battles. Until then, we will aimlessly go through a vicious cycle of falling and getting back up. Going through those motions will drain us.  It's really called habitual sin and can be a stronghold in your life... We are truly fighting a spiritual battle.  We "hav...

Though he slays me, Yet I will trust in him.  Job 13:15   God is not out in the distant cosmos with a magic wand waving it around. HE is not distant nor a harsh ruler.  We are not HIS slaves. He gave each of us a free will to choose or reject Jesus.  HE would never abuse us...but he disciplines us as a loving and caring and nurturing parent.  HE would never just punish us for no reason. His ways are perfect, and to make us holy as HE is. We may not understand his sovereignty in tough circumstances and seasons.  I know how you feel...in my own selfish cognitive reasoning I don't understand and maybe you are thinking this way as well.  Why would GOD let certain things happen? I am sure your mind goes to certain scenarios in your life that boggle your mind, like the issues we face daily. Some silent issues as well...Some we never tell. Well GOD sees and knows all about us.  HE has a reason and purpose for you whatever it is you are having to deal wit...
