Praying beautiful blessings over the life of unique you!!!



Prayer brings change. Faith drives away fear. The joy of the Lord is your strength. The Holy Spirit is your power. The word of God is the mapped out directions that enable you to be an overcomer in life. Therefore, make hast to boldly step out and conquer that which seeks to rob you of a life filled with God's promised abundance and constant presence. Opt for faith above fear and the doorway of God's grace is open before you!

May your day be filled with exciting new discoveries, as you experience the full reality of who you have become in Christ out Lord! The believing faithful are appointed to win. Do not neglect to collect your victory. Asking for you an amazing day!

Big Hug!

What is your greatest concern in life?! What is the one thing in life that causes your heart to cry out for it most passionately? What is your first thought each morning? What is that one thing that makes your heart soar higher than all other things? In Luke 10:41-42 Martha was all wrapped up in serving God according to the customs of her day. She was all engrossed in and driven by worldly distractions and appearances. So much so that she was frustrated that Mary would not leave her chosen desire to help her fulfill hers. She requested of the Lord that He command Mary to leave His presence and join her in her worry and upset that the details of worldly protocol might be viewed as less than perfect.
In all actuality Martha was wrapped up in and indulging the desire of her flesh. (Just think of it, her request of God was, "Lord, make Mary do what I want instead of what you have commanded of her." Martha knew of the command to put God first. All the Israelites knew this commandment) However, Mary had chosen to obey it and refused to be distracted from that which held her heart spell-bound and enraptured with joy! The pleasure of Christ presence was so dear to her that the world could not rob her of that which she derived from sitting captivated at His feet. Mary understood that in God's presence there is pleasure, provision and protection. See Psalm 91; 16:11. And she was not going to miss out on that for anything the world could demand of or offer her.

God wants His children to learn that the greatest truth in life is that seeking Him first will put everything else in the proper perspective. And keep you always in His presence. See Matthew 6:33. There is one most interesting thing about God, He never tells His people to worry. In fact He forbids it in His family. Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 37:8. He tells us to seek His presence, to put Him and His kingdom's welfare first, to behold His beauty and inquire of Him concerning His perfect will and plan of us. 1 Chronicles 28:9. And when we do this, when trouble comes our way, (and it will surely come) He will hide us in His pavilion, in His secret place. He will place us high upon the rock of our salvation where trouble must flee and the warmth of His love will comfort, protect and provide all of our needs according to the riches of His glory. See Psalm 27:4-5; Philippians 4:19. This is not merely a theory to be debated but a reality to be experienced.

Many are the stumbling blocks that are set before each of us to keep us from God's presence. Because, that is where peace abounds and blessings flow. Christ has freed us from the curse of the law, but He has not freed us from the obligation of living according to or by it. Therefore, seek His face, and He will teach you His ways. And lead you in a smooth path, because it is only He who knows all the onslaughts, and ambushes of your enemies. Psalm See 27:11. Copyright © Sylvia F. Liani 2009

HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE A LAMB IN THE FLOCK OF THE GREAT SHEPHERD!


Flames of torment filled my thoughts. The break in my heart seemed greater than the grand cannon! I had been brutally assaulted and wounded by the actions and tongue of someone very close and dear to my heart. The pain was so severe that I ached within and without. I could not let go of the pain and laughter escaped me. My face could not even form the glimmer of a smile. My throbbing heart could not find peace. In my desperation I cried out to my Father saying, "I can't take this any longer! I can't even think, the agony of this fills my life night and day! I am in unbearable pain and I can't stop the hurt." Very gently I heard the voice of my Lord saying! "Don't think about it!" My response was, "DON'T THINK ABOUT IT?" "HOW DO I DO THAT?" (This issue was like Mount Everest looming before me and the top was no where in sight.) In His peace and serenity He ever so softly replied, "Think only on what I say!" I knew the only way to reach the green pastures of peace was to follow the Shepherd's instructions. I was His sheep, His lamb, and I had lost my way and He came to lead me back into the shelter of His wings. As I did what He said, that is replaced my thoughts with His, I found that the pain faded. And the love of my Lord for His flock and His peace once again filled my life. If you are in His flock, no matter what you are facing, following His instructions will always lead your heart to a glorious reunion of oneness with His. And in this place joy will fill your life and trouble can not win over the safety you have in His arms. God does not trust my care to anyone but Himself. Therefore, I trust Him to bring the abundance of His very best into my life.

See Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy?meditate on these things.

CELL PHONE VS... BIBLE



Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we travel
What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go.....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think, 'where are my priorities?

Trust in the Lord and remember when you place a call to God's throne the line is never busy! And there are no dropped calls! He is calling you, is your line open to receive His message.

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!
If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for Him, forward this.

Be a pearl among the swine and pass this on. It is believed by most that 93% of people won't forward this type of message.

Thanks Gary.

And to you to Gary. God certainly has good timing. This past week and the past day or so especially have been extremely difficult. I guess I'm at a place where I've "hit the wall." I just began my ministry, "Reality Check." I've gotten some favorable responses. I don't know what, if any connection there might be, but they seem to coincide. I truly would appreciate your prayers for strength and focus. Thank you so much for your email.
