The Power Of Faith Prayers

Prayer offered from a pure heart in faith is never in vain. God hears and is mindful of the prayers of His people.

1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of The Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of The Lord is against them that do evil.

The most powerful people in this world are widows, women, men, children, the poverty stricken, and anyone who believes in the God of Heaven and calls out to Him by faith.

The Spirit of God offers our prayers up to The Lord Jesus, Who offers them up to God. They are a powerful force that He uses for His glory. 

God Is Great

Everything in this world exists because there is a God in Heaven who willed it to be. That's Who He is and that's the power He possesses.

Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by him and for him.

The world doesn't revolve around us. It revolves around God. Every believer should be willing to seek His Glory first in everything we are and do.

Oh, Lord my God; when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, How great Thou art . . . . .

God Thinks About You

God cares about your life. He knows your deepest and darkest secret, your sin, your thoughts, your motives, your plans, your valley, and your dreams. He even knows the number of hairs on your head.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith The Lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end.

He wants you to have peace and eternal assurance in your life. He wants you to know him, His promises, and blessings. He wants to mold you to His image as you study His Word.

No matter where you are, what you've done or what you're going through, there is help and hope in The Lord Jesus.

It may bother you that He knows about your sins because you have never trusted Him as your Savior. Do it now. You'll be glad you did.

Concert Of The Ages

God knew how I thrive on gospel music when He planted my husband and me in a tiny Texas town eleven years ago where the best southern gospel singers thrill me in concert twice a year.

One day I'll have front row seat at the concert of the ages. The hosts of Heaven will be unable to contain themselves as they bow down and burst forth with a new song of worship and praise to God the Lamb, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof; for thou was slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation;

11. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.

Confidence In Your Faith

I know Christians who are so confident in their faith that it rubs off on you. They say things like this:

"I know where I was and when Jesus found me. He transformed my life, and He can transform your life. He's the only sure thing. We have no gaurantees of tomorrow, but we do have the assurance of abundant eternal life in Christ."

Jesus has transformed many confused lives in despair. He looks with love at the sin we carry and the pain we feel and offers salvation.

Jesus looked with love from the Old Rugged Cross while suffering and dying for the sins of humanity.

When you trust Jesus as your personal Savior you are born again in Christ. You became a new person. 

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Thank God For Grace And Blessings

You can find just about anything on the world web. Some images make me sad. 

• Hungry street children rummaging trash
• Youth lying in alleys with needle-scared arms
• Battered women and children

But for the grace of God, that could be me.

Another sad image is my nation. Founded on God, America is slouching morality to shame as she forgets our Creator. I pray for righteous leaders every day.

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful that we can know God and His love, His mercy, and truth. Thank you, Lord, for the blessings of salvation, family, and the dear friends you've allowed to cross my path.

Psalm 100:4,5 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him and bless his name. For The Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth to all generations.

May your cup run over with joy and praise. May we never take His blessings for granted.

First Love

Christ spoke many good things about the church at Ephesus; They labored in His work, were patient and hated evil, but he had something against them.

Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee because thou hast left thy first love.

Jesus told them to remember and repent and do their first works--their first love as it was when they got saved, when they fell in love with Him.

Love for God's people, the church, and His work grows out of love for The Lord.

If you feel you've left your first love, repent, then read the Bible and pray every day. Attend church faithfully, give out of love, and witness. Do it because you love The Lord.

Psalm 139:23,24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
