THOSE WHO PAY REGARD TO VAIN IDOLS FORSAKE THEIR HOPE OF STEADFAST LOVE. JONAH 2:8
"Are you able to suffer without complaining - To be misunderstood without explaining - Able to give without receiving - To be ignored without any grieving - Able to ask without commanding - To love despite misunderstanding - Able to turn to the Lord for guarding - Able to wait for His rewarding?"
Every weed can be made a Flower
Paul never learned contentment until he first learned consecration
Every man's life is a diary in which he means to write one story, and is forced to write another
As the sun drives away clouds, so hope chases our blues away
Not only does Jesus give us the task, He also gives us the POWER! (John 20:22)
If you stop when you hit low places, your life begins to stagnate.
When we are on our backs, it is much easier to look up
Where does accident begin, and God's providence begin? Who can tell?!
What is impossible with men is possible with God - Luke 18:27
We recognize the need to continue becoming spiritually prepared for this trip - for the places we are going, and to be together. The importance of continuing processes of old and new between us, and putting sin and resentments on the cross. . .
. . . We claim our authority and we declare that the joy and peace and hope of Jesus explodes out of every step we take. We change the atmosphere of every place we go and we say that our steps are holy because of the holy one in us. When we step in the room, house, gas station, church, restaurant etc, the holy spirit music explodes and we release others to come to life and join in the dancing :) . .
. . . Jesus show us how to set people free and be loved to life!
When we work at or build something that God isn't in, we labor in vain
When His presence is what is familiar, then I can have peace in the unfamiliar, in the uncomfortable places. He is always doing a new thing. New things are uncomfortable.
The most disqualified person in the natural is many times the most viable candidate with God
We were created to tend the garden, not to toil - that is the same with the believer's life - we get to tend to the journey and relationship He has blessed us with, while others toil in life trying to keep it together
Yield to His will and increase the yield in your life
When my God becomes bigger than my needs, it means the dread and fear of my life is taken away. That doesn't mean that no trouble will ever come my way; it does mean that God will supply the strength and resources I need to face that trouble. He will never let me down.
Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God for things agreeable to His will
We cannot boast about tomorrow for you do not know what a day may bring - Proverbs 27:1
It's so easy to go for a big goal or picture like this conference in March, but if we continually just act in obedience each step, we are so free to BE ON THE JOURNEY. We let go and trust that as we do what He says, that it is going to come together and the Lord will complete the good work He started - so in that, each day we are to have spiritual eyes for each person we come in contact with and each situation or setting we find ourselves in. The conference is in no way a bigger goal than being present and seeing the person helping us with our car or at the grocery store, and applying the things that we are bringing with the conference
His humility is our salvation.
His salvation is our humility.
