NO SUBSTITUTES

No substitutes, no artifical ingredients. I think we have need for repentence for going somewhere else other than to Jesus for what we have need of. He is the ALL sufficient one, God Almighty. The Balm of Gilead. He is the God that heals. He is our Redeemer, Deliverer, Saviour, and Friend. Yet, we look for another, going here and there, attending meeting after meeting, reading all kinds of books, putting our trust in something other than Jesus. Only He has the words of life.

"Come unto me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29

Jesus said, "COME UNTO ME..." Who can say they have found rest for their souls? But only the one who has come to Jesus. The one who admits that nothing else will do. That there is no other way. The one who has realized that there is no help for them in man. What substitutes Jesus in your life? What is your peace? What makes you feel secure? What do you give all your time, affections, and energy to? Do you feel weary and burdened? Are you confused and tired? Come to Jesus, and give Him all you have been trying to figure out and hold onto...let it all go. Be free in Jesus name to rest.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.
