He is our present help in times of trouble. 
He is our salvation. 
He is our peace that passes all of our understanding. 
He is a parent when we need one
He is your adviser
He is your Strength and Comfort
He is our Creator. 
He is Truth.
He is Alpha and Omega
He is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, the King of all kings, our Great Redeemer.
He is the name above every name!

To Acknowledge God Means to NOTICE him

To Acknowledge God Means to NOTICE him
When you walk down the street and see someone you can ignore them or take notice of them. If you notice them, and greet them, you have acknowledged them. When you consider someone else's needs and feelings, you notice them and acknowledge them. We can ignore God or notice and acknowledge Him. To take notice of God means:
·       Take Him into account when you are making decisions.
·       To remember Him throughout your day and to consciously, deliberately turn your mind to God.
·       To never push Him out of the picture, or put Him on the back-burner.
·       To recognize His hand at work in all our affairs and credit Him for our benefits.
·       To see His hand in creation, providence and guidance.
Keep God in mind;
notice Him in your daily affairs;
 notice Him as you enjoy the
beauty of creation;
notice Him and acknowledge Him.

Many of you do that regularly.
You have a God consciousness.
In all your ways, in all your days, acknowledge GOD.



FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness always reflects praise on the Father.  We forgive out of obedience to Christ.  We forgive because it is always the right thing to do.  There is real spiritual maturity and growth when we can look at specific people that have wronged us personally and forgive them.  This is because sin always comes from the devil and not from the individuals themselves.  There is massive spiritual warfare fighting for us every day.  Satan’s legion of demons are always hunting.  It is our job as believers to rebuke them with scripture and always forgive those who trespass against us.  The true fault is always against the devil and his wicked schemes.  Even Christ on the cross asked His Father to forgive those crucifying Him(Luke 23:34).  May we all strive to be like that!  Praise be to our Sustainer in all circumstances!

To the WORD of GOD

To the WORD of GOD
Anything that we do as Christians that focuses our time on God brings Him glory and Praise. When we look to His word for healing and guidance, we again are telling God that we need Him and we praise Him for His sovereign nature in all circumstances.  In Hebrews 4:15-16 it says, for we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.  This is a passage of love that speaks to all who are hurting.  Jesus was tempted in every way so we can be completely firm in our belief in Him.  My fellow brothers and sisters, write these verses on your hearts.  We can have confidence in our Father in all circumstances.  Stay in the word!  It can heal the broken hearted.

NWC---NOTHING WITHOUT CHRIST


Psalm 32:8
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you"

(Read the following as if  this is your own words.) 

I will Keep in mind that I am not on my own. Every small problem and trouble can be moved away with GOD's counsel. His wisdom and knowledge is far beyond my understanding. Knowing so, my Christ would simplify the words, making sure I come to his perspective. He will take hold of my Heart and mend it- giving me Peace. He will take hold of my Thoughts and fill them with knowledge, wisdom and understanding. All I have to do is Learn to follow. Follow not just anyone but CHRIST. The problems In my life that are BIG, will shrink down to a molecule because you watch over me. Your counsel will give me the courage and confidence. The boldness to say "NO" to the problem. NO U WONT TAKE CONTROL OF MY LIFE, NO YOU WONT DISRUPT MY FAMILY, NO YOU WILL NOT TEAR ME AWAY FROM GOD. I will let God Psalm 32:8 in my life.




Prayer



Prayer 

Every time we connect with God in prayer, we are praising Him because we are acknowledging our need to set our burdens on His strong shoulders.  Isaiah 25:4a says, for you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.  These are things we can praise Him for while we are praying!  He takes care of His children!  Even in the darkest part of the storm, He is there as a stronghold to keep us standing against the crashing waves and raging winds.  A man on his knees in prayer can stand before any tragedy.





God's Love through Death




Gods Love Through Death


We all know the risk of sinning, 
but we still pretend to do so without any fear or guilt. The more we get immersed in the same kind of SIN, the more we tend to forget the depth of danger we are causing our SOUL to be in. 



The depth of GOD’s LOVE is unconditional with no blemish but as pure as snow. The cross we were supposed to be carrying right now was once held on a back carried miles knowing the result of CRUCIFICATION.

 The knowledge of DEATH
 would make us quiver/ shake/tremble which ever word we may choose, but the fact of the matter is that CHRIST DIED FULLY KNOWING THE PRICE HE WOULD BE PAYING FOR TAKING UP THE CROSS. 
Why would someone so powerful, majestic, SON OF GOD, give his LIFE for us mere HUMANS? 
The answer is so vividly clear ----- once we open our eye to him and him alone would be know and understand the depth of his

LOVE.
