Cheer Up!

Some verses to cheer us.

John 14:1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to Myself, so that where I am you may also be. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”  source

Acts 1:11 They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” source

I Thessalonians 4: 14 For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, so with Him God will also bring those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua. 15 For this we tell you, by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall in no way precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the blast of God’s shofar, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left behind, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air—and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.  source

Chazaq! 

Praying a good prayer for GOD’s Women. For us to be modest in our apparel, modest in our spending and modest in our day to day living; but in our love for our GOD and others to be oh so extravagant.

Acts

Boldness

I was reading Acts 4 this morning. Peter and John were fresh from a night in jail and went immediately to people of like faith to pray. 

24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:

‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’

27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.  source 

They prayed aloud together. They praised and confessed the sovereignty and power of GOD the Creator. They prayed His Word back to Him. They plainly explained their situation. And they asked for boldness to continue to proclaim His Story.

Thank You Sovereign Lord and Father. Thank You for Your Word that teaches us, encourages us, and convicts us. We pray for such love for You as had these and such courage to be bold in proclaiming Your Story of Love, Grace, and Forgiveness not only to those inside Christendom but those yet outside. We acknowledge here that Your Son is the only way of salvation for all mankind.  Thank You for giving us faith to believe and pray.  

Chazaq!
