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.

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.

Proverbs 1:7 ~ Acts 4:31-33

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

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

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

God allows us to be tested. We all have our faith tested and when you are brought to your knees from tribulation, ask for grace from God.

Ephesians 2:4-7

Conquering through Jesus

Romans 8:35-37

Jesus said to love one another til His return. He also said to occupy til He comes. Be busy about the Father's business and the work of the Church.

First we conquer - then we occupy. Overcome evil with good. How can we be more than just conquerors?

1. Prayer ~ Prayer is our subsistence and we should pray every day!
2. Word of God ~ Read your Bible and dwell in the Word.
3. Fellowship with others ~ Stand up for Jesus! 

Philippians 4:6 

God wants to hear from you! No prayer is too small or frivolous. If it is important to you then it is important to God!

Daniel was victorious in his life because he prayed three times daily. We often pray for help when we are in distress, as we should. But don't forget to pray in the good times as well. Be thankful in everything the big and the small. God wants to hear about it all!

Pray to conquer your own faults and failures. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ~ Never stop praying. Conquer your fears with promises from God. Claim them all! Don't neglect the inheritance that God has left for you. 

2 Corinthians 1:20 ~ God never fails us or lets us down. Read, study and meditate on His Word. God's promises will be fulfilled. Depend on Him as He will never fail you! 1 Kings 8:56

Conquer with peace. We live in a tumultuous world ~ we need to focus on peace. Through Jesus find the peace that passeth understanding. Philippians 4:7

Reason and logic doesn't apply to Jesus. He can give you peace and rest. Jesus made everything and He controls it. Let your heart and mind find peace through Jesus. Don't live with what ifs, life with faith and confidence in God!!!

John 14:27 ~ Psalms 71:14-18

Conquer with more prayers. Get excited for Christ's sake! Praise God inside and out.

More Prayer + More Praise = More Blessings

Avoiding Satan's Snares

Ecclesiastes 3: 8-10, 14-16

Satan wants to devour us like a lion devours his prey. He is a fallen angel and he plagues this earth with tragedy and lies. He should get credit for the evil corruption and war that we see today.

Satan tried to tempt Jesus in the Bible and he was constant in his attempts. If he were to be so persistent in tempting Jesus, why would he not be twice as persistent in pursuing each one of us?! That story proves that you can say no and be victorious over the Devil, however, so be persistent in your resistance!

2 Timothy 2:20-26

When you commit willful sin you walk into the devil's snare. When you see someone fall victim to sin you should point it out, but don't condemn them. You lead them from it, not judge them for it.

Those that are saved need not worry about the devil taking away their soul. Being saved does not protect you, however, from the devil trying to hurt you, your family, or your loved ones.

Don't stray from the Word - when you do you go into the world and face Satan and you are without that protection from the Father. The devil is as dangerous as a sleeping lion, the moment you stray from God ~ Satan knows it!

Psalms 119:67 ~ 1 Peter 5:8-10 ~ 2 Peter 1:4-9 ~ 2 Peter 2:20-22 ~ 1 John 2:15-16

Be a role model and be faithful to God. Stay faithful to the good stuff; Bible, gospel songs, and wholesome living!

Don't strut. Be not proud and believe that you are above the devil's reach - for no one is! Don't challenge him as he will attack full force!! Don't be so caught up in yourself that you forget God - always make time for him, and make him #1 in your life!

Proverbs 16:18 ~ John 12:42-43

Desire God's approval and be not accountable just to man. Don't stoop and don't compromise yourself. Don't compromise your values or your beliefs!

Romans 12:21 ~ Isaiah 58:1

Always let good prevail and do not condone evil! We need what God is giving us. Don't stop doing good! 

Revelations 2:10

Don't Stray ~ Don't Stoop ~ Don't Stop!!!

Victorious Faith

Romans 10:17

Be not faithless, but be believing. Your beliefs affect your life and approach to it. Romans 4:1-3 ~ Romans 4:20 ~ Abraham believed God was counted to him for righteousness. Be strong in your faith just as Abraham was.


Problems can cause you to stagger in your faith. Romans 1:16-17 ~ Trust in and live for Jesus~ Galatians 3:11


It is important to read your Bible and pray consistently. Don't fall away from that fellowship. there are many that don't believe gut that doesn't change or diminish the Word of God.

Galatians 2:20 ~ Jude 1:3

Be proud of the Bible. Do not be fooled by a silver tongue.

1 Timothy 6:12 ~ Hope is something you always need. Increase your faith and ask the Lord to help you. 1 Corinthians 16:13 ~ Work out your faith and stand firm and grow in it.

Hebrews 11:1

Practice your faith constantly. ~ 2 Corinthians 8:7 ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7

We are not walking blindly in the dark, we are instead walking by faith.

Colossians 1:21-23 ~ Colossians 2:6-8

One road leads to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ!
