His Glory

Isaiah 43:7

Everyone who is called by My name,

Whom I have created for My glory;

I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

Rejoice

Philippians 3:1

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Praise God

Isaiah 12:2-6

Behold, God is my salvation;

I will trust, and not be afraid:

for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song;

he also is become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

And in that day shall ye say,

Praise the Lord, call upon his name,

declare his doings among the people,

make mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things:

this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:

for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Friend

John 15:15

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Woe

Isaiah 5:20-24

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,

And prudent in their own sight!

Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,

Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,

Who justify the wicked for a bribe,

And take away justice from the righteous man!

Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble,

And the flame consumes the chaff,

So their root will be as rottenness,

And their blossom will ascend like dust;

Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,

And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Soft answer

Proverbs 15:1

A soft answer turneth away wrath:

but grievous words stir up anger.

Repent

Revelation 3:2-3

Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

Psalms

Blessed is the man

that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

his leaf also shall not wither;

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so:

but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

God Our Strength

thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets,

and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Wisdom

2 wisdoms, YOU choose!!!   JAMES 3:13-18  Who is wise and understanding among you?  Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.  Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

The Best is Yet to Come

Tell me Saints did these have their "best life NOW?'' 

the Best is Yet to COME!!!

HEBREWS 13-16

These all DIED in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were ASSURED of them, embraced them and confessed that they were STRANGERS and PILGRIMS on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a HEAVENLY country. Therefore GOD is not ashamed to be called their GOD, for HE has prepared a city for them. 

HEBREWS 11:35b- 40

Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a BETTER resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted,were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— OF WHOM THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And ALL these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, GOD having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

Proverb a Day!!

Why Read a Proverb a Day!

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: 

To know wisdom and instruction, 

To perceive the words of understanding,

To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, judgment, and equity;

To give prudence to the simple, 

To the young man knowledge and discretion--

A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:1-7

Psalm 103:12

The Lord removes our sins from us continually and faithfully, the bible says: As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalms 103:12 NKJV

Why do I recall hurt from the past in an argument or when I again feel hurt by someone, I rehash a past transgression?!

Heavenly Father, please, help me to let go of others transgressions against me. If someone has hurt me in the past, help me to be gracious and forgiving. Stop me from looking to the past. If it's forgiven, it is removed. Help me to forgive seven times seventy-seven!! Help me forgive and love as you.
In Jesus' name Amen!!

John 3:16

John 3:16
For God ( The Father 1st Person in the Trinity )
so loved ( Agagpe, self sacrificing )
the world ( Mankind )
that He gave ( offered up )
His Only Begotten Son ( Jesus Christ 2nd Person in the Trinity )
that whosoever ( as many as )
believes ( 2 have faith in, to put trust in )
in Him should not perish ( die,destroy )
but have everlasting life ( forever, without ceasing, never to cease ) 

Reconciliation

Can't Believers deal with Believers?

Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 1 CORINTHIANS 6. 

MATTHEW 18:15-17 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.“But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’“And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. For RECONCILIATION!!!

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

Hey ladies,

God

A Psalm of Asaph.

The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth

from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

God hath shined.

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence:

a fire shall devour before him,

and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

He shall call to the heavens from above,

and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

Gather my saints together unto me;

those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness:

for God is judge himself. Selah.

Your Word

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Psalm 29

Psalms 29:11

The Lord will give strength unto his people;

the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Judge

Matthew 7:1-5

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Who Shall Dwell

 

1 [[A Psalm of David.]] LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

Love God

Proverbs 8:17

I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

1 John 4

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Draw Near

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Teach

Last Days

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

For The Gospel

1 Corinthians 9:23-27

And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

 

 

Lay Life Down

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Talk of God

Psalm 105:2

Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

Do you have a practice of singing into God? Do you speak if all His wondrous works in your life?

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

As a woman of God, do the word of God

Psalm 23

Psalm 23:4-5

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

Remember all that God has done in your life! When the enemy comes and tries to defeat you, steal your joy, get you off track, let God work and take care of things. He is faithful!

God fights for you

Deuteronomy 3:22

Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.

Read chapter 3 of Deuteronomy! Pray and have the Holy Spirit teach you! 

Promise

Deuteronomy 3:2

 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

What a promise to the children of Israel! Take hold of His promises and watch God deliver you from the things you are fighting against! 

Dread Not

Deuteronomy 1:28-29

Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.

29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. Do things look too great for you to handle? God allows these things in your life. Trust Him and be not afraid! Go forward and love the Lord in what He is doing!!

Instruction

Deuteronomy 1:17

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.

Moses is giving instruction to the leaders on how to hear a matter. When ministering unto people and hearing the matter out, show no partiality. It is easy to hear one side of a story and take that person's side. There is another side to the story. Go find it out so you will not be partial. Also when having to say hard things to people, do not fear their face. Say what needs to be said if it is given by the Holy Spirit! Go love on people with God's word!!

Deliverance

Numbers 21:34

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."

The Lord Is With Us

Numbers 14:9

Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

Fear God, Do Not Fear

Exodus 20:20 And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin."

In this chapter, God gave the children of Israel the 10 commandments. Then They saw lightning and thunderings and became afraid and did not want God to speak to them because of fear of death. God tested them or the King James says proved them. This created in the people a godly fear so they would not sin against God. 

As you go through your day today, fear God but do not be afraid of what He is going to take you through today! He loves you and wants to guide you into all truth. 

Promise

 Leviticus 26:6
I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land.

God gives Israelites a promise here that none will make them afraid. Because we are grafted in by the blood of Jesus, we can hang on to this promise too. God gives us peace, he does make us to lie down. It reminds us of psalm 23, He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He gave protection to the Israelites as well. We as believers have protection from the Lord as well. Let God  have His way in your life today. Let Him give you peace and protection.

Provision

Genesis 50:21
Now therefore fear ye not; I will nourish you and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

Joseph is a type of Jesus in the scriptures. They way He treated his brothers in this verse is so much how Jesus treats us as believers. He nourishes us or provides for us all that we need. He also speaks kindly to us through His Word and also comforts us by His Holy Spirit.Trust Jesus today!

Go

Genesis 46:3
And He said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation

Ladies,
What is God tugging at your hear to do? Step out and do the thing He is asking of you. At the end of this verse God says He is going to make a great nation out of Jacob. All's he has to do is get up and go and obey what God has for Him. Desire all that God has for you. Go get all that God is asking of you. He has so much in store and wants to use you in a mighty way.

Treasure

Genesis 43:23
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.

Ladies,
In this passage Joseph is speaking to his brothers right before he revealed himself to them. He gave them treasure in their sacks and took care of them.
Jesus is our treasure. He has given us His Word so that we can know our treasure more each day. As a Wise Woman, it is so important to be in your word daily. It is the beginning of the year so it is easier to be all fired up about the Word and all that God is doing. Seek to have this all year long. What has begun in the Spirit will stay in the Spirit. Seek your Treasure and know your treasure, which is Jesus

Comfort

Genesis 35:17
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.

Ladies,
The circumstances of life may be very overwhelming at times. Rachel was giving birth to a a son and having a very difficult time. She was dying as the birth was happening. She needed comfort knowing that even though she was dying that her child would live. The Lord used the midwife to let her know that her child would live. She was told not to be afraid and that she would have the son. That is what she needed to hear before she died. If the Lord gives you something for someone, do not shy back about giving the Word. It is the very need for that day. Be the person who seeks the Lord and hears the Lord and prays for people. The Lord has a lot to say to us through His word.

God is with You

Genesis 26:4
That night the Lord appeared to him and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.

Ladies,
God is with you in all things and at all times. Pray, listen, wait, and watch what God does in your life as you trust Him in circumstances of your life. In Proverbs 3:5 God's word says; Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do that today and don't fear the outcome. God is with you.

God Hears; Do Not Fear

Genesis 21:17
God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her
"What is the matter Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there."

Ladies,
God hears you when you cry out to Him. The things you are up against may look fearful, but God hears you and will guide and direct you by His Spirit. Cry out to Him. Wait for Him. Look for Him. Seek Him.

Genesis 15

After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your very great reward. Genesis 15:1

Ladies,
God is your shield. The things the Lord is asking you to do, step out in faith. Go get all that He has for you today. Do not be afraid.
