A RIGHTEOUS GENERATION COMING SOON

 Arise, cry out in the night. A the beginning of the watches: pour out tour heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street.  Lamentations 2:19

Our children and young people are so precious. Pray for them, that they will love and fear Him with reverent awe and honor.  Then, the Sun 0f Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings to make them healthy and capable of trampling down the wicked.  Malachi 4:2-3

REAL JOY

 Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

WHEN GOD SAID, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have them." Genesis 6:5-8 

And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, I will destroy with the earth."  Make yourself an ark... ( from verses 14 to 21 God instructs Noah how to build the ark, and it's the life saving purpose). Noah obeyed God and he and his family saved from the destructive flood.

There is an ark of safety for us now from the  violence, destruction and death which to often fills our earth. The ark is Jesus Christ, God The Son. He came to earth to lift us above the floods of danger, death and destruction  to mind, body soul and spirit as trust and rest in Him.

The words of the Lord in the ninety first Psalm give us great hope. "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him: I will set him on high because he has known My Name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."  Psalm 91:14-16

Prayer:   May we never be in.a place or situation where God says enough is enough, and not be able to enter his ark of safety, Jesus, God the Son.  Amen        

Love in Christ, Verileah Teets

 

 

FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE

 I have a question. How do we dare disrespect another person and consider him or her in substance and as being less than ourselves? Arrogance and pride are afflictions. According to the word of God, we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. We are a marvelous work of God. Psalm 139:14  

Consider  this also, what do we have that we have not received.

PUTTING A SMILE ON THE FACE OF GOD

 I want to ask you a question. Have you ever wondered how you could put a smile on the face of God? Our God is so merciful and generous with us. He provides our daily bread physically and spiritually if we humble ourselves and acknowledge  our need for His provisions in our lives. How wonderful  it is to receive from Him our blessings. It makes us happy, contented, joyful and assured of His love. But God has emotions too. We can make Him joyful, contented and satisfied as He watches us daily, moment by moment execute kindness, justice truth and love. The more we love HIM the more we want to see Him happy.

My Prayer:  Lord daily show us ways to make you smile.   

STRENGTHENING OUR FAITH

Our faith is strengthened as we set our minds on things that are "above".  
“Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 1:1-3

Lord, help us to see into the world of the supernatural so that we can walk "above", and have dominion over the natural world in which we experience and see so much sin and sorrow. For it was Your vision and great spiritual power that created and brought forth the natural world from the spiritual realm where You rule and dwell, Almighty God. “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him in heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in this age but also in the one to come.” Ephesians 1:17-21 

“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:6-7 

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10

RISING ABOVE INSULT AND SLANDER

If you live in the kingdom of God, being subject to the laws, responsibilities, and privileges of that kingdom, then it is from this place that your power and way of life should come. Life in the kingdom of God is the highest life-style we can live. We are seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places Ephesians 3:4-7 Therefore, we are above all insult, lies, and slander which can be spoken against us. We are above all ill will sent to us by thought, word, look, deed, or feeling. Satan and his emissaries are truly defeated. Insults need to be put under the blood of Jesus and loosed from our souls. Only what is spoken about us in the heavenlies by God is important
