Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself. Then every plan you make will succeed. (‭‭Prov ‭16:3‬) It’s been 6 weeks since most resolutions were made and most have already hit the dust …! This reminds me of a sign I saw: “IT’S BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE I JOINED THE GYM AND NO PROGRESS. I’M GOING THERE IN PERSON TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON! If we want to succeed then we have to engage – or at least turn up! ❤️ #health #answeredprayers #grace #wor

“GOD commanded the Man, “You can eat from any tree in the garden, except from the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. Don’t eat from it. The moment you eat from that tree, you’re dead.” (‭‭Gen ‭2:16) GOD isn’t talking about dying ‘physically’ from knowing good and evil – we die when we become our own gods and try and figure everything out for ourselves… I was part of a CI Project at work than went right on up to the evening in the restaurant. Buzz words were flying everywhere

For I know, Yahweh, that my praises mean more to you than all my gifts and sacrifices. (‭‭Psa 69:31) If you’re a parent you’ll understand this so much better, how the smallest sign of love from a child can mean more than all the acts obedience that they’re obliged to do. My Lord, you know everything. You know that I burn with love for you… (John‬ ‭21:17) ❤️ #health #answeredprayers #grace #worship #loveinaction #kindness #lovingothers #amazinggrace #choices #loving #trust #fr

When people work, they earn wages. It can’t be considered a free gift, because they earned it. But no one earns God’s righteousness. It can only be transferred when we no longer rely on our own works, but believe in the one who powerfully declares the ungodly to be righteous in his eyes. It is faith that transfers God’s righteousness into your account! … What happy fulfilment is ahead for those whose rebellion has been forgiven and whose sins are covered by blood. What happy

Jesus speaking) “Of course I am willing to heal you, and now you will be healed.” Luke 5:13) On this day 9 years ago, at 7:25 pm I got a call from my Oncologist who said: “… The God you keep on about has certainty acted. We don’t know what’s happened, but your recent PET scan shows that the cancer that was still there on the 23rd December, has disappeared…! Thank You Jesus, my Faithful GOD and friend. ❤️👏❤️ #health #answeredprayers #grace #worship #loveinaction #kindness #a

There are six evils God truly hates and a seventh that is an abomination to him: Putting others down while considering yourself superior, spreading lies and rumors, spilling the blood of the innocent, plotting evil in your heart toward another, gloating over doing what’s plainly wrong, spouting lies in false testimony, and stirring up strife between friends. These are entirely despicable to God! (Prov 6:16) God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart. Examine me through a

Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you! (Psa 27:14) Why do we give up – because we want our own way? Why are we impatient – because we’re selfish and want it now! Why do we separate ourselves from our entwinement – because we’ve learned nothing from Eve and like her, we can be easily led. Why do we need to b

Jesus said, “…Take it from me: Unless a person is born from above, it’s not possible to see what I’m pointing to—to God’s kingdom.” “How can anyone,” said Nicodemus, “be born who has already been born and grown up? You can’t re-enter your mother’s womb and be born again. What are you saying with this ‘born-from-above’ talk?” Jesus said, “You’re not listening. Let me say it again. Unless a person submits to this original creation—the ‘wind-hovering-over-the-water’ creation, th

God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what. (Heb 4:12) It’s easy to skim read this awesome truth and then when trouble hits begin to intellectualise everything away. BUT if we truly understood WHO we ARE IN Christ and ALL the GRACE that’s available

(GOD speaking) “…I’m living and breathing among you right now. Don’t be timid. Don’t hold back.” (Haggai‬ ‭2:5‬) “Don’t quit, even if it costs you your life. Stay there believing. I have a Life-Crown sized and ready for you.” “Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.” (Rev 2:10-11‬) I’m sat here asking Papà what He wants to say today and I sincerely believe that this is the res

(God speaking) “My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9 Yes there’s Abundant and Amazing Grace for forgiveness – but of course there’s Grace for Victory too! Walking with Christ we see that God wants to use the things that hurt us as a launchpad to what we can now be. So God is saying: “Choose life and walk with me My child. Be strong in my strength before me, and there will be no area of your life in which th

… the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]. (Isaiah‬ ‭30:18‬) Yessss! Happy are

Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees… then he (GOD) told me, My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, ac

Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it’s logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil’s hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death. It’s obvious, of course, that he didn’t go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham. That’s why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when

That’s why I don’t think there’s any comparison between the present hard times and the coming good times. The created world itself can hardly wait for what’s coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all the creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile, the joyful anticipation deepens. (Rom 8:18). All around I see and hear doom and gloom and yet when I loo

“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God, “I’ll get you out of any trouble. I’ll give you the best of care if you’ll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party. I’ll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!” (Psa 91:14). My favourite promise and a wonderful place to fall back to whenever I’m struggling. Enjoy today, Papà isn’t just watching – he’s here! X #struggling #
