Grace - How Sweet It Is!

Hebrews 4:12-16

When you don't know what to pray for... pray for grace. Let God settle the matter for you. Grace is unearned, un-merited favor with God. 
You must come to God boldly. Don't be meek in your prayers. In order to have mercy, you need grace. God has what you need, when you need it... ALWAYS!

Proverbs 1:7 ~ Acts 4:31-33

None of us deserve grace, but God offers it to all of us. We are purified through God's grace ~ it brings purpose to our lives. His grace leads our callings ~ God has a purpose for each of us. His grace gives us pardon and gives us peace. 

Ephesians 2:8 ~ Ephesians 2:4-5 ~ Titus 2:11

Repent and believe and be saved. Christ already paid our price of redemption. Jesus "bought us" back from sin and the condemnation to Hell. God's grace never runs out - it is abundant!

2 Corinthians 9:8

There are many shortages in this day and age. There are times where you wait in line just to find out that they are out of what you need once it gets to being your turn. That will never happen with God! There is NEVER a shortage of grace with Him.

2 Corinthians 4:15-16 ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9

God allows us to be tested. We all have our faith tested... so just remember. When you are brought to your knees from tribulation, take advantage of being down there and pray for grace from God.

Remember Thy Creator


Deuteronomy 6:12

Remember the Lord, and the things that he has done for you. We are feeble and the older we grow the more feeble we become. Plant the seeds of Christ in your life so that He is never forgotten. 

We live in the present and make decisions about our future from things we have learned in the past. The world is a scary place that is only getting worse. BUT God is constant and He is the same today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow.

There are things in our past that we all wish we could forget, but we need to always remember the lessons that we learned from those things. Don't let Satan tempt you with those memories/events of your life.

Deuteronomy 6:1-11

God never forgets His promises. He always stays true to His word. Think of all the things that God has given to you - be thankful to the Lord for ALL things. Thank God continuously ~ for each and every breath that you are given. Rejoice evermore and pray without ceasing. Don't get lazy or complacent. Don't forget what He has done in your life!

Exodus 3:7-8

We should thank God for ALL things, not just the big stuff. Remember everything the Lord has done for us - none of this is from our own works. Without Him we would be nothing. People come and people go - we all have a short life span here on earth, but God is forever. Every generation must remember God above all else, He is important to the young and old, the healthy and ill - everyone needs Him! He is the reason that we are here - we were created for His pleasure and none of us would exist without him.

Give thanks daily and pray without ceasing...

Are You Pushing or Are You Pulling?

1 Corinthians 10:31

God has a work for each of us to do. No one is just a bench warmer. Seek our your skills and gifts that God has given you. A positive prayerful attitude can change your life. Can't isn't in God's vocabulary!

Philippians 4:13

The Downward Pull

Doom and Gloom ~ Don't be someone that is negative or critical all the time. Focus on the positive. Encourage each other. Be uplifting and not discouraging. Be Christians with God confidence. Spiritual cleansing and love is what we need! Repentance is also what we need. ~ Colossians 3:2-6 If we lead a right and just life then it is pleasing to the Lord. Life isn't about pleasing your; spouse, kids, family or employer - it is about pleasing GOD!!

Happy Christians

It is hard to see news and what's going on in the world today. His prophecy is being fulfilled and the end times are near. Focus on God, faith and Heaven, for in faith you shall find victory!

1 John 5:4

Magnify faith by encouragement of others. Look for the best in others, don't look to point out flaws. 

The Inward Pull

Some pull inward and are self centered. We don't need BIG I's and little u's. Personal agendas don't cut it. We are all important to God and we must remember that in how we treat others.

Romans 12:1-2

Let God renew your mind with His Word and His spirit. Win through the power of Jesus Christ - win through victory granted from God.

Push Outward

If you see someone with a need... help them! If someone is hungry... feed them. Show goodwill by sharing your own good fortune.
