The Holy Spirit loves us and not only is He our Comforter and Friend; He has given us the Gifts and Fruit of His Spirit.

But the Holy Spirit did not give us these Gifts and Fruits to hoard; He gave us them to share 🙂

Much, much harder times are coming and we need to prepare for them! If we don’t spend time preparing in prayer now, when the time comes we won’t be able to Stand In Faith.

One of the dangers of the last election is that too many Christians are thinking everything is done. But that is not true!

Prayer is what brings us closer to God. We need to Pray when we feel like it and especially when we don’t. We need to Pray when we are happy and when we are sad. We need especially to Pray when God seems very far away or when we feel afraid. There may even be times when we wonder if God is really there-we need to keep praying.

The only way that we will survive the coming challenges with our faith intact is by immersing ourself in prayer, by reading God’s Word and by always looking “up” 🙂

And the only way we will go to Heaven, is by putting our faith in Jesus!

So please, Follow Jesus, for God is “our safe space”.

The way David loved God was special. As a young man, his love was so pure, so strong, and so all consuming, as was his faith.

David didn’t just believe that all of the Bible stories happened; David knew that they did! And there is a difference between knowing and believing…

And David loved God with a love so complete that that all we can do is to try to follow his example and love God that completely too!

Because David’s heart was so completely centered on God and God’s Will for his life. He sought to serve God with all that he was and all that he could be.

Can we say the same?

Should we at least seek to be able to be the same?

Sometimes we are faced with a hardship so overwelming and so difficult, and the Peace of the Holy Spirit seems far away, but it’s not.

The Holy Spirit is our Comforter and Friend. He is here to Help and Comfort us. If the Holy Spirit feels far away, it’s not because He moved, it’s because we moved. But we can move back by simply asking His help to do so!

Just simply say, Help me Holy Spirit! We don’t even need to say it aloud; and He will!

When we Pray, God is with us. Right then. Waiting to Help us; we just need to ask 🙂

I love the part where David asks, “am I the only one who believes the old stories”. That is so incredibly important. And when he said God is with us when “we choose to face our fears”, we know what we have to do!

Please Father, give us the uncommon courage of King David. In Jesus’s Name Amen!

Our time is coming, may we have the “uncommon” courage of David

“Make my heart your Cathederal make my soul Your Temple”

Is there a better prayer?

Please take a moment and watch this video. It’s a great prayer and will bring you joy 🙂

How many times do we fear to say the name Jesus aloud among strangers? And yet, if we truly believe in Jesus, is that not strange?

We have allowed our country to become a place where we so fear to “offend”, that we don’t say Jesus’s name among those who are not close friends. And yet, Faith in Jesus is the only way to Heaven! Are we not helping to condemn all of those people to an eternity in Hell by not sharing Jesus with them?

And are we condemning ourselves by not loving these individuals who come into our lives enough to share Jesus with them?

While this may not be a popular thought, it is an important one. For us, who have been fortunate enough to know Jesus and accept Him as our Savior, we have a responsibility to share that Good News!

Don’t let peer pressure win!

Share Jesus with someone today!

“ They are not of the world, even as I am not of it” – John 17:16

“My heart belongs to a country and a King”. Too often these words make us think of our country on earth! But what we need to start focusing on is that we are Citizens of Heaven and Thanks to Jesus, Heaven is our Home. We are just travelers on this earth.

We are here on this earth, but not “of this earth”.

“And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.” – Romans 8:28

Jesus said, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33

It is so easy to Trust God when times are good, but what about when times are really bad? Perhaps our country is at war, perhaps someone we love is really sick or even dying, perhaps we lost our job…

There really are so many bad and frightening times that we go through in this life, but Jesus said, in this life you will have troubles. And we certainly do!

But whatever troubles we have in this life, we can sure that God will use them well! Just as we can Trust that Jesus WILL overcome them and with His Help, we will too!

There is no greater gift, nor sacrifice, than laying down one’s life for another. Our soldiers do it every day. We are all, each and everone, so very grateful for their courage and sacrifce, and praying not only for those who serve but, their families as well. Amen.
