Perseverance!
A lovely photo of Morning Glory….. looking like trumpets in the photo. Have you ever felt the Petals they are so thin and soft to feel – just beautiful.
*****
James 1 verses 2-3.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith
develops perseverance.
*****
We don’t usually face trials with joy do we? If only we could use our faith more in the difficult circumstances, persevere in faith and let God be in charge instead of ourselves, we would find life much easier. Maybe you are in a difficult situation today, remember the disciples – we must have faith even as small as a mustard seed. Let us not give up in the testing of our faith, don’t let the devil have the upper hand especially today.

If you are not a Christian and would like to be one, you could pray this prayer printed below.
Know that Jesus loves you and He would like to be part of your life if you would let Him. It is lovely to live with God our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ His Son and with the lovely Holy Spirit. Then you would never be alone because they would be always with you. The Holy Spirit is our comforter, teacher and guide, we can talk to him day or night, when Jesus went back to Heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to be with us when we invite Himself Jesus into our hearts. If you already are a Christian you know this is true and I can say God Bless you today.

What about your Heart?

Acts 16: verses 14 – 15.
The Lord opened Lydia’s heart to receive
the message of Salvation from Paul.
Then all her household was baptized.
*****
Maybe you can ask God to open your heart for Jesus Christ to come in today, unless you have already done so. If you have, please pray for all those souls who do not know the Lord Jesus, ask that their hearts be softened to receive Him, even maybe today.

Pray for Lost Souls.
I know that your heart grieves God for all those lost souls who have not come to the knowledge and love of Jesus yet. I pray Lord God that you will allow your Holy Spirit to move around them to somehow soften their hard hearts towards you. I pray today that Christians will be able to speak out of the love of Jesus so that those who are not saved will indeed begin to wonder what they are missing out on. I pray that today many souls will come into Salvation throughout the world.
Help us as Christians to reach out to those who are in the world, help us to reach out with love, joy and peace to who-ever you bring before us today. May your signs and miracles continue through out the world as a sure witness that Jesus is alive, that He lives for ever and ever with you God Our Father in Heaven. Bless all who come before us today God and also please bless me so that I too can be a blessing for others. Amen.

What do we Say?

My Oil Painting of a Billabong in North West Australia. The Rocks truly are that beautiful Colour.
Psalm 141 verse 3
Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips.
*****
Sometimes I think it is a good thing to ask The LORD to put a guard over my mouth to stop me saying something wrong and then wishing that I had not said it. As Christians we must be very careful what we say to others so that we do not offend them because in doing so we offend God if we do not speak righteously. Today please God guard my mouth, the door of my lips and my speaking. Amen.

I do pray that you have a really good day today especially if you are a Christian. If not and you would like to be one please read and pray the above Prayer then let someone know that you are.
(So what do you say) ?
Prayer really becomes effective when you do speak out to someone that you have done so.
It is good to have God our Heavenly Father and Jesus His Son with us, also The Holy Spirit knowing that we are never alone. That our sins are forgiven and we can look forward to our heavenly home when our time on this planet earth comes to an end.
The Holy Spirit is Real !
This is my Oil Painting depicting the Holy Spirit descending like a dove.

John: Chapter 16 verses 16-17.
And I will ask The Father and He will give you another Councillor to be with you forever. The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.
*****
Isn’t that marvelous, that we can know the wonderful Holy Spirit, who will comfort us today and forever when we ask Him to.
*****
The above is taken from the book: ‘Drink from the Cup’
Do you know – that to have The Holy Spirit with us we first need to invite Jesus into our life. Once we do that we automatically have The Spirit of Jesus in our heart because Jesus said that once He Himself left this earth He would send His Holy Spirit to be with us, to comfort, to guide us, to help us to pray. So there we are then. We can pray to God our Heavenly Father knowing that He will hear our prayers because we belong to Jesus Christ His Son.
Do you know – that we are never alone when we have The Holy Spirit with us, that we can talk though Him day and night to Jesus and to God our Heavenly Father. What a Blessing.
Do you know – that you can invite Jesus into your life right now if you have not already done so! Then you can be a Blessing to others maybe to pray for your family and friends knowing that God will hear your prayers.

Proverbs: 10 v 8
The wise in heart accepts commands
but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
***
Oh! God let us not be chattering fools today,
let us try to be wise in our hearts and our speaking.
Amen.
Here is the Link for ‘Book of Prayers’ It is a help you to pray book, especially for new Christians and also for us when we are not sure what to pray for sometimes. It is good also to refresh our memory about other things, places or people that God would like us to pray for.
The book is available from the Amazon site through this link.
I pray God will Bless you as you read and pray today.
God Bless you.

I pray that you have a lovely day today.
May God Bless you also your family and friends.
This is the Way !

St. John: Chapter 14 verse 6
Jesus answered, ” I am the way and the truth and the life.
No-one comes to the Father except through me“
—-
No other religion anywhere can go to God our Father in Heaven unless they accept Jesus Christ as Lord. We must invite Jesus into our hearts for our own spirit in us to be Born Again into the Kingdom of God. I praise The Lord that I have done that, what about yourself, remember today is a good day, if you have not already done so.

Let us Rejoice today and think of something nice to do for ourselves or for some-one else. Maybe get in touch with them on the phone, or invite them to come to us for a visit, just to have a Cuppa maybe nice for them to know that you care about them. Morning Tea, Afternoon Tea, Evening Meal or the phone call maybe just what someone needs from us today. I am sure God our Heavenly Father will Bless our efforts when we try to reach out to others.

You may like to see this ‘Book of Prayers’ it it one that help’s people to pray for different things. (It is a help you to pray book) Especially for new Christians and also for some of us older ones when we would like to pray to our Heavenly Father for different situations. We do know that Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to be with us and that He will help us to pray when we are not sure or too upset to find the right words to pray for whatever situation we may be in at the time.
May God Bless you during your Prayer time Today.
This comes with Love & Blessings.
Do we Sin?
The Eagle is from one of my Oil Paintings
1 John: Chapter 1 verse 2
Only The Blood of Jesus Purifies us from sin.
(The Bible tells us this)
***
This is true, remember Jesus died on the cross for us as a sacrifice for our sin.
We were born as sinful, into a sinful world.
When we accept Jesus into our hearts we are washed clean of sin by is blood.
We are then new creatures, we are born again of the Spirit.
Then although tempted we need never sin,
it does not have to have dominion over us.
***
The above is taken from the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R. Larman.
Do you ever think about sin? We do things without thinking sometimes not realizing that it is something that we should not do. When in doubt if it is right or wrong to do something, a good way to work it out is to say to our self (What would Jesus do?). If we are walking with The Holy Spirit – He will help guide us if we ask Him.
Even our thoughts can be sinful, so we need to guard our mind and get rid of those wrong thoughts as quickly as we can. Maybe put our mind on to something different or we could put some music on. But try as best as we can to think more clearly.
Fleeting thoughts come and go, quickly they fade away.
Like a whisper they are gone like a breath of air.
Quickly some come, then are gone.
Some never to come again. Thoughts are words,
Words from the heart, thoughts from our minds.
We cannot snatch them back.
The above is from one of my Poems in the book ‘Goodly Verses’
