Walk this way....


He who walks with the wise grows wise, but the companion of fools suffer harm ~ Proverbs 13:20.


Never underestimate the power of bad influence. Influence can be invisible but powerful. It can grab hold, take you under and drown you in misery. When God lights the path; the devil will do his best to put stumbling blocks along the way to trip you up. He will make his bad look more enticing than the good of God. The devil is very tricky and can cause you to be blind that is when we fall into the trap. We have to be careful of who and what we associate with. At first, it may look good and we think " Once won't hurt" Once can be the too many. Be careful with the company you keep. I always love to sit and talk with older people. They are wise and they have experience and not to mention give some good advice! I have listened to advice of younger people and I have found myself in a world of mess and sometimes I feel more doubtful than I did. We should listen to the wise because a lot of them have traveled the road we are on now!

Where will you go child?


My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ~John 10:27





Isn't it so wonderful to know when we leave this earth we have a beautiful eternal home to go to! I sometimes sit and think how it is going to feel when God looks at me and says "Well done, Jennifer!" There is not a day that goes by that I do not thank God for all the things He has done for me and I never regret a moment that I follow Him. My life with Jesus Christ has brought on a new perspective on things. I look at things a lot differently. I forgive easier than I did. I love deeper. I cherish and thank God for every moment that I am alive! Even though my heart gets broken sometimes and some days end with rain I trust God and know He will take care of me. No matter how bad the world gets...I will still follow Jesus Christ!

I am who I am....

But by the grace of God I am what I am ~ 1 Corinthians 15:10


Mirror, Mirror, on the wall......Look into a mirror and say I am unique..I am rare..I am a child of God and I am what I am because of His grace! Being a Christian isn't an easy thing to be. So many worldly pressures in our face everyday. Even, at 32 years old, I still have worldly pressures knocking at my door. The world wants us to be something other than what God wants us to be. The world expects so much out of us but if you really look at it; it's things that will wear us down and sometimes can cause destruction. We can get caught up into materialistic things and as we dig deeper to find satisfaction it eats away at us and before we know we are so distant from God that we don't put Him first anymore. If we read God's words daily and pray daily and build a strong bond with Him the world cannot touch us. God wants us to be ourselves; He wants you to be legendary you! The cross is before us and the world is behind us. The world has nothing for us but God has a beautiful eternal life waiting for us...all you have to do is say Yes, Lord, Yes I open my heart, my soul, my mind to You, Lord!!!

Be careful what you throw away...

Be careful what you throw away it might be the best thing you ever had. When something is good you want to keep it; you don't want to set it aside or throw it away cause someone else might grab it up and you won't have it ever again.....God wants us to have the best and if He gives you the cream of the crop and you decide you don't want it then it's your loss. When you sit back and think you wish you had something...it may be too late..So cherish what you have.

Too good to be true...

Ever look at something and say "That is too good to be true." We all have! Sometimes it can be the case but when God sends it to you it's His will and it is His perfect will. Don't be afraid of a blessing God has sent you. When you pray for something and God answers your prayer- Embrace it and Praise God!!! When God places a blessing in your life cherish it and know it is a gift from God and it is good and it is true! With God all things are possible. God bless!

Let go and Let God

I posted this a while back and I thought about it and had to repost it again. We all need to realize that it is the Lord's battle and we need to give it all to Him. No matter what is going on in our lives He is in control and we need Him to help us through the thick and thin of life. God bless!


If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......

LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth .....

LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents

LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude .......

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.......

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves......

LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed

LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left. Think about it, and then

LET IT GO!!!

"The Battle is the Lord's!"

Praying


The last couple of weeks I have found myself praying even more. I have even been caught praying at work as my coworker thought I was asleep at my desk. Prayer is a deep, powerful intimate conversation between you and God and He always wants to hear what you have to say. If it's worth fighting for....then pray about it!
I am reading a book entitled "Praying God's Words by Beth Moore". I needed this book and God knew I needed it. For sometime it has been on my floor along with other stacks of books and today I picked it up and started to read it. Circumstances can make us break and fall apart but prayer can make us feel hope and give us some light.
Prayer is our lifeline to God. Pray without ceasing. ~1 Thessalonians 5:17. We should pray about everything. When someone has wronged us, broken our heart or if a someone needs a lifting or we are thinking about doing something- Pray. You can pray anytime..anywhere. The more you pray in places outside of church or home, the more naturally Christ will come to mind there. All settings are settings for prayer. It will seem much less like a separate, Godless world, and more of a whole in which the Spirit is afoot everywhere. Setting a schedule helps to create a habit or pattern of prayer, and turns the believer back to God throughout the day. It's not about how you do it or how many times a day you do it, it's about turning to God in the midst of what you do during the day, helping to keep the whole day in prayer. Prayer brings us closer to God and God always has time for us no matter what. Always remember...when you call on Jesus..ALL things are possible!

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
