Monday, 02.08.10 Wow, is this the month of "Love" already?Something special is coming! As of this Monday, 2.8.10, every Monday there will be a report from Kristen Ivester! She will be sharing her journey to a new and healthy life style right here on Kristen's Korner! Look forward to watching her miracle and let's encourage her and pray for her!Devotion for today:
Anger, Really?
John 1:1-6 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Before time began, God saw me. Jesus, the Word, left His heavenly throne to live and die as a man, to save me. An old song says:"When I fall in love, it will be forever, or I'll never fall in love", if I am in love with a man, I don't need to go and date a lot of other men to make sure my feelings about the one are validated! I say, it is what it is. I have the faith that was planted in me before time began and has grown with me through my life. I have had an up close and personal relationship with Jesus, the one and ony Christ, and I don't need to experiment, look around, read other's comments or books or explore any other religion to know that He is the One and only Christ. I love Him. I believe that He was born of the Virgin Mary and His birth was announced by the angels! Luke 2:10-14 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “ Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” I believe that He died on a Cross, was buried and rose again on the third day, was seen my multitudes of people and then went up into the heavens from whence He will return! Acts 1:6-11 So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know.But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After saying this, he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching, and they could no longer see him. As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them.“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!” I am afraid that this country is going to be lulled into a feeling that everything will always remain the same, but as prayer was taken out of our schools, we will see our other rights being taken away. How much arsenic would you drink if I said, "Just a little won't hurt you"? You can drink a little at a time without feeling the effects, but it builds up in your system and you eventually die. Listening to a gospel which is perverted from the truth, a little at the time, you may not notice, but the end is death. Be blessed and pray!
Prayer
Some of the best times in prayer are just wordless times. I stop speaking, close my eyes, and meditate on what I have read or what I have said. If you listen closely you will hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you, not in an audible voice but you begin to recognize the difference between what He is saying to you and your own thoughts. It's sensing what God is saying about whatever situation you are praying about. Wait on him, Psalm 62:1 My soul waits in silence for God only.
Jeremiah 12:5
"So, Jeremiah, if you're worn out in this footrace with men, what makes you think you can race against horses?
And if you can't keep your wits during times of calm,
what's going to happen when troubles break loose like the Jordan in flood?
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
The Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to ALL generations! Be Blessed!
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find, Knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Don't you think our Heavenly Father will be a wonderful Father for YOU?
Deuteronomy 7:9 (The Message)
God wasn't attracted to you and didn't choose you because you were big and important—the fact is, there was almost nothing to you. He did it out of sheer love....Know this: God, your God, is God indeed, a God you can depend upon. He keeps his covenant of loyal love with those who love him and observe his commandments for a thousand generations
Proverbs 6:16 (The Message)
Seven Things God Hates
Here are six things God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion: eyes that are arrogant, a tongue that lies, hands that murder the innocent, a heart that hatches evil plots, feet that race down a wicked track, a mouth that lies under oath, a troublemaker in the family.
If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him. Romans 6:8
