Happy and greatful heart

The Lord who created you says: "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you." Isaiah 43:1-2 NLT Thank you Yahuh for stretching out your hand to satisfy our every need, Psalms 145:15,16. Holy are you Yahuh, You are the Lord of my life, You are worthy of all praise and glory I will forever praise You. Thank You for providing all of my needs according to Your riches in glory by Yashua! Your promises are forever true. You provide for all of our needs Matthew 6:26. You give us everything that we ask of You as long as it is according to Your will Philippians 4:19 and James 4:3. You are our good Father and will ever seek our welfare!

Understanding and Obedience

But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds so they will understand them, and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey them. I will be their God, and they will be my people! Hebrews 8:10 NLT Above all, you must understand that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophets themselves or because they wanted to prophesy. It was the Holy Spirit who moved the prophets to speak from God. 2 Peter 1:20-21 NL

Complaining is not the answer

I came across a little something in my morning devotion so read up and have a blessed day. For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. (Isaiah 25:4) But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ...that I may know Him. (Philippians 3:8, 10) All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head.--Psalm 22:7 Mockery was a great ingredient in our Lord's woe. Judas mocked Him in the garden; the chief priests and scribes laughed Him to scorn; Herod set Him at nought; the servants and the soldiers jeered at Him, and brutally insulted Him; Pilate and his guards ridiculed His royalty; and on the tree all sorts of horrid jests and hideous taunts were hurled at Him. Ridicule is always hard to bear, but when we are in intense pain it is so heartless, so cruel, that it cuts us to the quick. Imagine the Saviour crucified, racked with anguish far beyond all mortal guess, and then picture that motley multitude, all wagging their heads or thrusting out the lip in bitterest contempt of one poor suffering victim! Surely there must have been something more in the crucified One than they could see, or else such a great and mingled crowd would not unanimously have honoured Him with such contempt. Was it not evil confessing, in the very moment of its greatest apparent triumph, that after all it could do no more than mock at that victorious goodness which was then reigning on the cross? O Jesus, "despised and rejected of men," how couldst Thou die for men who treated Thee so ill? Herein is love amazing, love divine, yea, love beyond degree. We, too, have despised Thee in the days of our unregeneracy, and even since our new birth we have set the world on high in our hearts, and yet Thou bleedest to heal our wounds, and diest to give us life. O that we could set Thee on a glorious high throne in all men's hearts! We would ring out Thy praises over land and sea till men should as universally adore as once they did unanimously reject.

Homeless and Blessed.

I know, I know, it's been a long time, but you know what, God is good! Since January I have had trouble paying rent, since I am the only income maker at the moment. Therefore, I couldn't handle it all. Some of you know first hand how that works. I campaigned to help others and find myself in the same situation. We cut back so much to try to make things work that, we missed meals, kept the house cold, had yard sales etc.. I still praise my God and I thank Him, I worship Him, I sing to Him and dance before Him. He is worthy of all praise, I still move, breathe, and have my being. Last month I was in the hospital for over a week, the doctor wants to take my toe, my daughter is getting married in July and needs help. Yes I have gone to church to get help and other churches as well. I was told they look at how much you give, how active you are, and they can do nothing for a situation like this. Pray for church leaders. Do Not be angry with them, God can only meet them at their level of faith. We all know that these churches need to unite, and take care of the people of God who have needs, but until that happens, Love them and Pray for them. Rejoice in the Lord and speak the word over your situation, ask God to show you what He sees and position you to receive the manifestation of the blessings. Shalom
