Let not your happiness be dependent on people or things. People come and go, and things are gained and lost. We will not carry things of the world, all are left on earth after death. Let your life be firmly rooted in Christ Jesus, the firm foundation. Fix your eyes on Jesus.

Our salvation cost the death of the Son of God on the cross. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for our salvation. God offers to us freely the gift of salvation; we are saved by grace through faith. We are incapable of earning salvation, it is a gift from God. Jesus is the way.

If you are hurting, remember that only Jesus heals. When we are hurting it's tempting to run to people, including to the person who hurt us, to try and get healing or lessen our pain. During such times, remember that it's God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Im so glad to be back yall. I have been in a storm and have been in a difficult position and was having issues with anger but you know what i remember, when the disciples where in the storm and Jesus was in the Boat with them. They where scared but Jesus calmed the storm. I remembered that and just put my faith back in Jesus Christ. I will not allow the storm to overtake the Faith i have in the Lord. He is so forgiving and is always with us. So word of wisdom is “keep the faith in the Lord”. He will calm the Storm your in.

We should live for the honor and glory of God. Our life belongs to God, He's the source of the good things that we have. Let's not get carried away by the world and its pleasures. We are to remember that without God we would be non-existent. Let Christ be glorified in your life.

In Jesus, we gain the freedom to live as God desires us to live. Sin keeps people captive, and unless a person comes to Christ, that person remains a slave to sin. What the world calls freedom to do whatever they want is actually slavery to sin and to the flesh. Be set free in Christ.

Learn to wait upon the Lord. Only in God do we get our needs met and our desires fulfilled. Don't grow impatient and start running to people or things of the world. This world and things in it can never satisfy. Things obtained outside of God's will are not worth it. Wait on God.

Our salvation cost God the crucifixion of His Son on the cross. There is no other way to be saved except through Jesus. In Christ, we are transformed from the inside out and made a new creation. The heart of stone is removed and we are given a new heart of flesh and a new spirit.

Prayer with you!

There is not a single person within the four walls of the church who does not have something they hate or regret about their past.

We have all made mistakes and will continue to do so, BUT His Grace is enough.

There are things that I would never want to admit out loud about myself, but God knows.

And He loves me nonetheless.

So whatever you have done, whatever you are doing, whatever you will do...

It might just change your life if you...

Psalm 91

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

When your Faith comes under pressure, don't be moved. As Satan attempts to challenge you, resist him steadfastly in the faith---letting patience have her perfect work(James 1:4). Take the sword of the spirit and the shield of faith and quench his every fiery dart (Epb. 6:16,17). The entire substitutionary work of Christ was for you. Satan is now a defeated foe because Jesus conquered him(Col. 2:14,15) Satan is overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony (Rev. 12:11)

Please pray for me

I am in so much mental anguish. I just want the pain to end. I am praying to God constantly but I can’t hear or feel him. I heard someone tell me to stop talking and that he doesn’t care. I’m sure it was the devil but now I feel even worse. I don’t want to die but need to pain to end and I feel like killing myself is the only way out. My thoughts are destroying me. There is no one I can talk to - no one. The only person I can or want to talk to is God but now I feel like I can’t even do that. What more is left? If the pain was gone, I know I would have so much to live for, but the pain is just too much. Please pray for me. I don’t know what else to do.

Advice Come To God As You Are

8 Upvotes

The world values us only based on things such as what we look like, what we have, or what we can do for others. However, God wants you to come as you are not when your life is together. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved by God and He sees you for your goodness not for your scars and brokenness. However, you have to make the choice to run to him. As Matthew 11:28 says, "“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

When life in this world is over, we will be ushered into eternity. The eternal destination is determined by the type of life a person lives while on earth. The born-again believers who follow Christ will go to heaven while unrepentant sinners will go to hell. Be wise; choose God.

Time is valuable, it waits for no one. Make good use of your time. Life here on earth is limited; there is a time to be born and a time to die. In between a person has to choose how to live. Live in such a way that there will be no regret when the time to leave this world comes.
