Keep Standing

Today's Scripture Passage: Proverbs 24:14-20

¹⁴ Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. ¹⁵ Do not lie in wait like an outlaw against a righteous man's house, do not raid his dwelling place;  ¹⁶ for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity. ¹⁷ Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, ¹⁸ or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him.  ¹⁹ Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of the wicked, ²⁰ for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.

Today’s Scripture Message:

I heard another great message today about forgiveness, not just of yourself and those who hurt you but for all situations you have been placed in that are seemingly unfair. Know what others mean for bad God means for good, so give it to God and let him see it through.  Remember you are a vessel so be assured his intention is never to knock you down, but to lift you up. It is just sometimes he has to allow you to your knees for you to look up and see Him and his intention for you. Pray to day that we rejoice in Gods correction of us, not blame & curse those who do us harm that we remain focused on the fact that God's hand is always with the righteous and that we have to forgive not just those who harm us, but ourselves and circumstances. That we stand each time we fall and pray mercy for those who do us harm as we would expect mercy for ourselves.  That we all go in joy and share His Word with all whom we encounter, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

 Thought for the Day:

“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” 

– Paul Boese

Goal for the Day:

Let go, Let God – Move forward victoriously.

Happy 181^st Day of the New Year!!!

Side Note:

1.    Some of you asked if we take donations, we do not, but if you are so inclined to donate to an institution and assist with forwarding Gods work please include 2 wonderful institutions: St. Michael of Old Town located at 1633 N Cleveland, Chicago, IL 60614 or Evangelistic Outreach Deliverance Ministries located at 4300 West Madison, Chicago, IL 60624 - I personally am associated with them only as a member (St. Michaels) & a Guest (Evangelistic Outreach), but both institutions have touched my life in so many ways with such a bounty of blessings that I had to mention them.

Not to Understand, but Know it is for My Good

Today's Scripture Passage: Isaiah 40:28-31

²⁸ Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

 ²⁹ He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. ³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; ³¹ but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Today’s Scripture Message:

Many times, the simple blessing of the day is opening your eyes to see it.  May joy find your heart in the simplicity of  life, the opportunity each day provides to change your own personal circumstance and to help another along the way.  It is easy to worry about the shoes you do not have, until you see the child who can not walk.  While our joy is not in the realization of being happy that we are not less fortunate but in the promises of the life we were purposed for, in abundance of the gifts we were given that we may have an excess to be the representative of his kingdom for which we made a covenant to be.  That we, despite all that comes against us, press forward in fulfillment of our purpose and know that every step of the way we are blessed and favored beyond measure, even when we can't see nor understand why things are happening in the manner for which they are it is not for us to question more than for us to know, it is well and all paths we walk are holy and intended; that we take from it the lesson and knowledge of His hand in all we experience and praise him for his humbling presence in all that we do. Not my way Lord, but yours - forever faithful, unconditionally loved - All praises to you, in Jesus' name, Amen.

 Thought for the Day:

“As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit. ”

 – Emmanuel Teney

Goal for the Day:

Enjoy life, just as it is, just as you are – worry free.

18 Steps to Holiness from Precious Testimonies

By: Connie M Giordano

"I find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly; on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy." - Smith Wigglesworth
...
The Apostle Peter admonished the Body of Christ in 1 Peter 1:14-16 in this manner - "As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, BE YE HOLY; FOR I AM HOLY."

Is it possible nowadays for people, in the midst of this "adulterous and sinful generation," to actually "be...holy" in their behavior, ways, or manner of life?

What about all the teachings in the Church at this present hour that say that we cannot help but sin in thought, word, or deed? Surely, these "Teachers" and "Preachers" don't agree with Peter's inspired words here. They actually do not believe that it is possible for anyone to live "holy." After all, they openly and boldly emphasize that we are still "sinners" saved by grace.

We may have been "sinners" at one time, but does the Bible still called the "Redeemed of the Lord" "sinners"? Or does it now refer to us as "saints" - sanctified ones - "vessels of honor for God" - holy, separate, and set apart from this world for God's use?

Would God be so oppressive and ironhanded as to command us to be "holy" and not give us the means to be so?

What Father would bid his children to do a task that is beyond their capability without giving them the tools in order to get the job done?

Matthew 7:11 - If we, "being evil, know how to give good gifts unto our children, how much more shall our Father in Heaven give us the means to obey His command to "be holy"?

In Psalm 119:9, the Psalmist asked a very relevant question - one that many are asking even in our day and time - "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?"

In other words, where can I go to get help in leading a pure and holy life? Where can I find the power to resist temptation or to put to death the affections and lusts of my flesh?

The Word of God has the answer. In fact, the Word of God is the answer.

In this message, we will examine 18 Steps To Holiness. They are in no way exhaustive, but they will surely help to set and keep you on the right track.

They are as follows:

1. Make The Word Of God Your Rule

Psalm 119:9 - "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Thy word."

The #1 way to holiness is to make God's Word your rule for your life and conduct, govern yourself accordingly, and resolve to conform to it in every measure.

2. Seek God With Your Whole Heart

Psalm 119:10 - "With my whole heart have I sought Thee..."

With every affection of your heart - reserving none for any possible idols - follow hard after God. Continuously cry out to Him for more wisdom, strength, and a tender spirit.

3. Realize Your Weaknesses

Psalm 119:10 - "...O let me not wander from Thy commandments." Psalm 119:25 - "My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken Thou me according to Thy word."

In order to stay in the path of duty, you have to realize your constant need for self-denial and restraint. You are prone to wander and err except for the Lord's intervention.

Your life is generally glued to or adheres firmly to that which is of this world - "dust." Earthly things and desires are unfailingly contesting to pull you away from your allegiance to Jesus.

It takes God's Word to strengthen and empower you to break away from these evil and worldly propensities.

4. Hide God's Word In Your Heart

Psalm 119:11 - "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee."

Like a secret power in operation at all times, the Word of God is constituted to act as a deterrent against all evil in your life. In order to do so, however, it must be layed up, treasured, or hoarded in your heart so that, at a moment's notice, it is available to respond to life's situation.

5. Magnify God As Your Source Of Strength

Psalm 119:12 - "Blessed art Thou, O LORD..."

God is to be praised as your One and Only Preserver from evil. Through His Word, He keeps you from falling.

6. Cry Out For Instruction

Psalm 119:12 - "...teach me Thy statutes." Psalm 119:26 - "...teach me Thy statutes." Psalm 119:27 - "Make me to understand the way of Thy precepts..." Psalm 119:19 - "...hide not Thy commandments from me."

Become more and more acquainted with Jesus' ways so that you can walk accordingly.

7. Tell Others What You Have Learned

Psalm 119:13 - "With my lips have I declared all the judgments of Thy mouth." Psalm 119:27 - "...so shall I talk of Thy wondrous works."

Once you learn a principle, you are then responsible to share it with others so that they, in turn, will be able to walk uprightly. This practice will reinforce the teaching in your own heart.

8. Consider God's Word As Your Chief Joy In Life

Psalm 119: 14 - "I have rejoiced in the way of Thy testimonies, as much as in all riches." Psalm 119:16 - "I will delight myself in Thy statutes..." Psalm 119:24 - "Thy testimonies also are my delight..."

Nothing - not even possessions, positions, or great wealth - can replace the Word as being the principal source of happiness and rejoicing in your heart.

The word "delight" used in the above Scripture actually means to skip about and jump for joy. With such exuberance, the Word is to have First Place in your life.

9. Allow God's Word To Rule Your Thoughts

Psalm 119:15 - "I will meditate in Thy precepts..."

You are instructed here to meditate frequently on God's words, works, and ways. They are to govern your thoughts and bring about self-examination and reflection to your path.

10. Don't Allow Anything Of This World To Crowd Out The Word

Psalm 119:15 - "I will...have respect unto Thy ways." Psalm 119:16 - "...I will not forget Thy word."

Have a constant regard for what the Word says and make your decisions accordingly, not allowing any "ungodly counsel" to steer you in the wrong direction.

11. Plead For God's Enabling Grace

Psalm 119:17 - "Deal bountifully with Thy servant, that I may live, and keep Thy Word."

The only way you can possibly live for God in this ungodly world is by God's Grace. As one in desperate straits, beg God to show His favor upon you so that you will "live" and not die.

12. Pray For A Special Illumination Of The Word

Psalm 119:18 - "Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy Law."

All the answers that you will ever need for life's problems or dilemmas are found in the Scriptures. Don't be satisfied with a surface knowledge of the Word. Be a diligent miner who digs deeply into God's inexhaustible resources. Be like Jacob and wrestle with the Lord for the answers that you so desperately need.

Each time that you open up the Word, ask God to remove the scales from your spiritual eyes that may have developed through Sin, compromise, or worldliness. Plead with Him to remove any veil of unbelief, doubt, fear, or hardness of heart that would prevent a clear vision of His mind. Implore Him to reveal, uncover, and make bare any and all spiritual Truths that are needful for your life at the moment.

13. Recognize Your Status In This World As A Christian

Psalm 119:19 - "I am a stranger in the earth..."

Never forget that this world is not your home. As a pilgrim who belongs to another country, you are just simply passing through. Hence, nothing is permanent or forever.

14. Hunger For More Of God

Psalm 119:20 - "My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto Thy judgments at all times."

Let your soul become desperate for God to the point of breaking. Long for His righteousness. Intensely desire to hear from Him.

15. Stay Humble

Psalm 119:21 - "Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from Thy commandments."

Recognize that pride in your heart will cause you to err from the Truth and reap the awful displeasure of God on your life. Stay away from it at all costs.

16. Watch Out For The Accusations

Psalm 119:22 - "Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept Thy testimonies." Psalm 119:23 - "Princes also did sit and speak against me..."

As soon as you determine in your heart that you are going to "go all the way" with Jesus, the devil will be sure to raise up the "Princes" to send "reproach and contempt" your way. There will be those - even in authority - who will try to tear you down from your place of excellence.

Because these "Princes" are not where they should be in the Lord, your testimony and life will be a direct affront to their lukewarmness, compromise, or deadness of soul and spirit. They will charge you with being self-righteous, hypocritical, insincere, fanatical, extreme, and overboard. Whatever you do, don't allow anyone to throw their "wet blankets" on your fire. Keep on keeping on for the Lord.

17. Recognize The Word As Your Only Counselor

Psalm 119:24 - "Thy testimonies also are my...counselors."

In this day of "anything goes," so many are running to man for answers because they simply do not know the difference between right and wrong.

The Scriptures are to be your One and Only "counselors" - "men of my counsel." You are to consider them as your closest Friends to whom you seek for godly advice, insight, or direction. Any "words" given to you that are not in keeping with the Word of God are to be trashed and treated with utmost contempt as something wicked, evil, and deadly.

18. Surrender All To Jesus

Psalm 119:26 - "I have declared my ways, and Thou heardest me..."

Don't allow any cares, troubles, anxieties, or plans to snuff out the Word in your heart and mind. Lay them at the feet of Jesus and leave them there. He can handle them - He's God.

Once again, we refer to the opening quote by Smith Wigglesworth - "I find nothing in the Bible but holiness, and nothing in the world but worldliness. Therefore, if I live in the world, I will become worldly; on the other hand, if I live in the Bible, I will become holy."

It all narrows down to one question - Are you living in the world or in the Bible?

That will determine whether you are worldly or holy - whether you are living in defeat or victory over Sin every day as God ordained.

It's not God's fault that you are not holy. He has given you every means to live a life that is pleasing in His sight.

This message outlines some possible steps to help you on your journey.

In looking over the 18 steps, how many are you already practicing? Which ones need to be developed or applied to your everyday life?

Why not take the time now to ask God for His Abundant Grace to make all 18 a part of your life?

May God Bless His Word. Connie

You Are Destined for Greatness

The Path to Your Greatness:

It is up to you to determine the reason you are here and walk in the purpose and promise of God. God may will it but you have to work it.

God's Ability + Your Faithfulness = Purposeful Success

1. Being present is the 1st step to your purpose. Show up. You must be present to win.

2. Give yourself permission to be blessed. Go ever place God is trying to take you because you are blessed and highly favored!

3. Don't miss the formula of your success. That guidance is found in every page of the Word of God. Follow His instruction and success is eminent. Joshua 1:8 ⁸ Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

4. Cling to the joy that you have. Know that God wants you to be at peace right where you are. By the grace of God YOU are forgiven for every thing you've ever done. You are worthy, you are qualified, you are joyful, you are blessed, you are somebody!!!

5. You are entitled. As a child of God wherever you are things should be better. If you are a child of God, there is nothing that you can not ask him.

By Pastor Lance Watkins

Everyday you wake up is an opportunity to do things differently. Have faith & move within your faithfulness.

"Something Great Is Going To Happen 

To and Through Me Today!!!"

The Answer

Lord help me please

As I fall down on my knees

And ask you to help me believe

I have strength.

Because my head aches

And my heart continues to break

When I acknowledge my positive trait

Is diminishing.

You see I’ve been through hell & back

Raced time on life’s track

Given my all when I lacked

Anything to give

I know I have your love

Even when times get rough

But still I feel I couldn’t have done enough

Because I hurt.

And then he answered me….

You know with love comes pain

You shouldn’t give to gain

Nothing I do is in vein

Of you.

Know that through that hurt

Life will give way to birth

To something greater than earth

For you

Look beyond this present time

And always keep in mind

Never be blind

To the fact only you can erase your blessing

So if it all goes up in smoke

Remember I’ll be tugging your rope

Because I’ll never let you drown your hope

In sorrow.

Know that I AM love

Not just a figure above

You have to believe in me enough

Not to question it

So tonight when you close your eyes

Know that you will rise

It just may not be your time

This very moment.

It Is Well With My Soul

 Today's Scripture Passage: Isaiah 66:12-14

¹² For this is what the LORD says: "I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees.

 ¹³ As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem." ¹⁴ When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes.

Today’s Scripture Message:

Growing up, we sang the song, It Is Well With My Soul by Horatio 
G. Spafford, which begins: “When peace, like a river, attendeth my 
way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou 
hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.”  These 
were powerful lyrics until I heard the story behind the lyrics of this 
song a few weeks ago which really caused each part of this song to 
resonate stronger than it had previous to my knowing the heart behind
the words. So I had to share it with all of you.  Mr. Spafford had a 
successful law practice in Chicago where he and his wife Anna shared 
their home with many. They led a charmed life and were faithful 
Christians. In 1870 their 4 year old son died of scarlet fever…in 1871 
the Great Chicago Fire destroyed most of the additional real estate the 
family owned, but their home was  spared as was their family.  Even 
though their finances were mostly depleted they used their resources to 
feed others and help the homeless who’d lost their homes and comforted 
their grief stricken neighbors who’d lost loved ones. In 1873 Anna 
became ill and hoping to benefit her health, the Spafford’s planned a trip 
to Europe with their 4 daughters. On the day they were to leave via ship, 
Mr. Spafford had a business emergency and could not leave. Not wanting 
to disappoint his wife and children he sent them ahead and would follow a 
few days later. The ship his family was on was hit by a British sailing ship 
and the boat his wife and children were on sank in the middle of the 
Atlantic Ocean. His wife Anna survived, their 4 daughters did not. After 
hearing the news of his family’s demise, he immediately left to bring his wife 
home. As he sailed past the point where the ship his family was on sunk, he 
began writing the words to this song “It Is Well With My Soul”. The Safford’s 
went on to begin a Christian colony in Jerusalem that catered to the needy 
and cared for homeless children. Despite their great loss, they went on to do 
greater things.  (full story) http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/850395/horatio_g_spafford_the_story behind.html?cat=38 
Every day of our lives we face challenges and though many of them present pain 
and sorrow, we are purposed for greater things. All that you experience is 
knowledge and growth for the greatness purposed for your life. No matter what, 
“Whatever our lot” in life…our Father “has taught” us “to say, it is well, 
it is well with” our “soul”. 

 Thought for the Day:

“Human beings are of such nature that they should have not only material facilities but spiritual sustenance as well. Without spiritual sustenance, it is difficult to get and maintain peace of mind.”

 – Dalai Lama

Goal for the Day:

Find peace and sustenance in the promises of the Word of God.

A simple thought that has come to mind today. I truly must share with you; it took me hours to make the flow come correctly…so live your best life. It’s another day & we still reach out for solitude in every conversation we have daily. Why? When the decision has already been made…keep the strength to be strong & know that it will pass.

Vision is Forward Thought, Even When No One Else Can See it But You

"Vision IS Forward Thought"

Today's Scripture Passage: Proverbs 29:18

 ¹⁸Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Today’s Scripture Message:

Our vision of this kingdom is to see a world where life is of the utmost importance, that the loss of one was one too many, where a dollar could not nearly equate to the sanctity of life as an equal. That your neighbor, as much as he/she would hate to see their intimate family do without rose to be that brother’s keeper. Where our comments and actions were stated/performed to lift and not destruct. A place where the struggles of our ancestors to provide a better life for all of us, no matter what your heritage,  would never fall on deaf ears and be as pertinent now as it was when they were deep within the fight. Where ego always took a back seat to truth... We do, every day.  We see the heart of people and am aware that our action, for the most part is reaction and if our daily messages can change 1 heart to act, more than they react, then our purpose is fulfilled.  If we can teach the reverence of the Word of God, the principle guidance it provides, be the witness to the countless blessings we’ve seen, and lead others to a life of fulfillment in the promises of God, then all that we have endured is not in vein. As Christians, our hearts are guided by the word of God. Our days spent praying we see through the vision we were given and the faith to know it is done. How do we move forward?...One step at a time…How do we change the world?...One heart at a time. Be the change you wish to see, otherwise there is intent without direction and no vision. 

 Thought for the Day:

“Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for- because unless we stand for something we shall fall for anything”

– Peter Marshall

Goal for the Day:

Envision your direction and follow it unwaveringly.

Happy 155^th Day of the New Year!!!

Stay On Course

Today's Scripture Passage: Psalm 37:3-7

 ³ Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. ⁴ Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. ⁵ Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: ⁶ He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. ⁷ Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. ⁸ Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. ⁹ For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

Today’s Scripture Message:

I have seen so many blessings. Even though there are turns in life, thank God for always showing you the blessing. Nothing that God intends is against you, it is for you and in it lies the blessing of love, strength, endurance, vindication, health, prosperity and joy…all of the desires of your heart.  Our father speaks direction and timing through others to reach the heart that needed to hear it.  Stay your course and know you are cared for, that the purpose of your life will be realized and do not waste a moment in worry… “He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him…” 

 Thought for the Day:

"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence."

– Og Mandino

Goal for the Day:

Focus on the blessing, stay on course.
