PRAYER.. "I know you're watching over me, And I'm feeling really blessed. For no matter what I pray for, You always know what's best."
When things do not seem to be happening like you think they should, remember this ..... Your HEAVENLY FATHER will not WITHHOLD anything that is good FOR you ..... FROM you! Allow HIM to lead you by HIS SPIRIT each step of the way to your 'expected' end which HE has prepared FOR you. It will be perfect, complete and good FOR you. HE has 'A' Plan that gives to YOU HOPE and a FUTURE.
But seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness and all these things SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. Matthew 6:33. What will be added to you by your HEAVENLY FATHER when you seek 'FIRST' (above all, and ahead of all ,other people, places and things) HIS AGENDA for your life daily? EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED!!! PLUS, As you delight yourself in HIM HE will even give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4.

EXERCISE Your Measure Of FAITH!
GREAT FAITH …………
GOD has dealt to every man the measure of FAITH. Romans 12:3. Have you ever desired to have MORE FAITH? GOD has dealt (given) a MEASURE of FAITH to each of us. The measure of FAITH that GOD has given becomes 'GREAT FAITH', sufficient for any challenge, trial or need, when exercised.
WHAT IS GREAT FAITH in the eyes of GOD? Consider the centurion in Matthew 8:5-13. He came to JESUS seeking healing for his servant who was at home paralyzed by the palsy. JESUS started to go to his house and heal the servant. However, the centurion told JESUS that he was not worthy that JESUS should come under his roof, but for HIM to speak the WORD only and his servant would be healed.
JESUS said HE had not seen such GREAT FAITH in Israel. HE told the centurion to go his way, and it would be unto him as he had believed.
When the centurion arrived home, he found that his servant had been
healed at the same time that JESUS had spoken the WORD.JESUS sent HIS WORD and healed the servant. Psalm 107:20 The centurion exercised his measure of FAITH so that it became GREAT FAITH. His GREAT FAITH was GREATLY REWARDED by GOD.
JESUS said if we have FAITH as a grain of mustard seed we can command the mountain to be removed and cast into the sea, and it will obey. (Read Matthew 17:14-21)
My husband, Don, often reminds us that GREAT FAITH is required for a little grain of mustard seed to push itself through all the earth on top of it (a mountain of pressure), to the top of the earth so that it may become the greatest of all herbs, accomplishing all that GOD destined the little mustard seed to DO, to BE and to ACCOMPISH.
Sometimes you may feel like the mustard seed, with a mountain of problems, burdens, afflictions and trials. If so, EXERCISE (use) your FAITH in GOD. GREAT FAITH in GOD puts GREAT pressure on the pressure of the enemy and he is overcome or in other words, defeated, in JESUS name.
GOD sees and rewards GREAT FAITH! Be not weary in well doing for you shall reap in due season if you faint not. Galations 6:9. EXERCISE your measure of faith and watch it GROW to become GREAT FAITH with GREAT REWARDS. GOD BLESS YOU!

Food For Thought
The REAL STARS are the ones who turn many souls to righteousness.
The REAL STARS shall shine forever as the stars of heaven.
Regardless of who changes policies, rules or laws, we can rest assured that
GOD has given no one authority to curse what, or whom, He has blessed.
and GOD has given no one authority to bless what, or whom, He has cursed.
In the days ahead there will be many confirmations that
GOD says what HE means and means what HE says!
Are you on the LORD'S Side?
NEWS FLASH!
God has not made any changes in the Ten Commandments and He doesn't plan to. He is the Lord, He changes not ... (Malachi 3:6b)
If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ll Chronicles 7:14
When we ABSORB God's WORD into our HEART,
and HIS WISDOM into our mind,
Then HIS WILL can enter our future.
Are we really following this instruction of God in ll Chronicles 7:14? Are we really following the example and instructions of Jesus Christ of Nazareth the only begotten Son of the one and only True and Living God in Matthew 6:5-13? Jesus gave the example of HOW to pray, WHAT to ask for, etc. Are we truly praying for GOD'S WILL to be done in earth? These instructions from God the Father and the Son are not an option. IF we are to remain strong and awake spiritually we must obey.
We are told in God's Word that in the last days, if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived. The SPIRIT is leading me to say to Believers and also to non believers ... Be not deceived by those who lie, are given to change like the wind that blows, and/or who speak with flattering tongues, using words which tickle the ears. The WORD is quickly being fulfilled all over the world.
Remember the days of Moses... There came a time when the people had to make a decision which was the last decision for those who were not on the Lord's side. The ground opened up and swallowed them.
Remember the days of Lot and Noah, what they were doing and what happened in each event. Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by fire and brimstone. The only souls that survived was Lot and his daughters. Lot's wife started to leave with Lot and their daughters, but she disobeyed and looked back, rather than to be obedient to the Lord, and she turned into a pillar of salt just like the angel of the Lord had told them would happen to any of them that looked back.
In the day of Noah, the wickedness of mankind was so terrible that God even repented that He had made man. BUT Noah found grace in the sight of God. Even though family and friends did not stand with him, through faith in God and obedience to what God told him, Noah, his family and a seed of all that God had created, was spared in the Great Flood.
Jesus said that in the last days it would be like this. We can see that this WORD has come to pass and is fulfilled daily. We can be sure that HIS coming is near, even at the door.
REMEMBER, the ten virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. Five were ready to meet the bridegroom when HE came and they were taken with HIM. Those who were foolish did not get to go.
TRUTH and RIGHTEOUS will prevail in JESUS name. The WORD of GOD says so!!! I will make no apology for standing on the WORD of GOD and Ministering the WORD of TRUTH! How about you!
THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD is alive and well. GOD'S KINGDOM and HIS economy stands sure. HIS WORD is YEA and AMEN! HE knows HIS own and HE will take care of HIS children that refuse to bend or bow to the devil and/or his wicked devices. We can place our confidence and trust in the LORD, when we KNOW HIM and HE KNOWS us.

GOD WILL USE YOU AS A KINGDOM BUILDER IF YOU MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE!
I am a BLESSED MAIDEN BELIEVER
GOD has placed within me HIS great love for ALL people. I did not choose my skin color as did no one else. I cannot, and will not, allow race, gender, age, denominations or religious beliefs and/or opinions of others stop me from being, doing and accomplishing what GOD commissions me to be, do and accomplish in JESUS name.
I am an ambassador for GOD, sent by GOD on a mission to teach and preach the gospel of the Kingdom into all the world. In fact HE sent BELIEVERS in HIM into ALL the world to do the same.
GOD opens doors that no man can open. HE closes doors that no man can close. References from the WORD of GOD, such as we find in Mark 16:15-18, Acts 1:8, Matthew 28: 18:20 provide instructions regarding the Great Commission for ALL BELIEVERS. We need to be diligent to get on with the work which we are called and sent by GOD to do.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. When our thinking is right in God's sight and the words our mouth speaks is right in God's sight, then color, gender, race, denomination, etc can be put in their proper place... GOD is a SPIRIT and they that worship HIM, must worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH which has absolutely nothing to do with color, race, gender, and/or denomination for GOD has NO respect of persons.
He than winneth SOULS is wise. They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as stars forever. As Kingdom Builders, we must be up and about our FATHER'S business. Are we willing to work in the harvest field of the LORD in a manner that we can win the lost at any cost? One SOUL is worth more than the whole world.
My heart's desire is to bear fruit that remains by winning sould for the Kingdom of GOD. May GOD bless you as you also continue your efforts to win souls for the Kingdom of GOD.

(1) Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: (2) By whom we have access by faith unto this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (3) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; (4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope: (5) And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us.

You can Invest time wisely, or spend it.
This is your choice.
Open your eyes and you will see
that there is good all around you.
Invest some time putting a smile on the faces of others.
Rewards of joy, joy, joy will return to you.
Good relationships are like savings accounts.
When you need them, they are there.
If people of your choosing are not a part of your life,
Start giving them reasons to be there.
If the path becomes narrow and bumpy
do not choose an easy road out.
Be diligent to do the little things a little better
and you will be trusted with the bigger things.
Tested faith produces patience.
Patience and Faith will be rewarded.
Abraham inherited his promise by faith and patience.
Noah got his the same way.
Hold fast! Never give up or quit!
Persistence wears out resistance.
Cast not away therefore confidence, which has great recompense of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise: Hebrews 10:35-36
