Gratitude 05.21.10

Jeremy S.: Livin it! Good training today, feel awesome! Thank u Jesus!

Nicole B.: Gratitude is good. The more you are thankful for, the more you will have to be thankful for. God responds to a grateful heart with joy.

Dave T.:  Loves how the Body of Christ ministers to one another. Religion can't do that, politics can't get it done. Putting greater value on others more than ourselves is a Jesus thing. **And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, Hebrews 10.24**Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.Philippians 2.3

CJ: I'm sure glad God shows up, to make up for my lack of showing up!

Darryl N.: Praise to Father is a natural outcome when life is thankfully lived.

Dottie: O Lord, you have been our refuge throughout every generation. Psalm 90:1........Thanks for always being there!!

Double Encouragment 02.11.10

Michelle F.: Through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience the reign of God in our DAILY LIVES....It is the "Spirit of God" who reveals the ways of God, to the children of God....John 14:26

Michelle F.: The rule and reign of God within the hearts of men, women and children is the reality of the Kingdom of God on earth....The Kingdom of God is both a present reality and our future certainty

Joseph J.: Spiritual combat is like physical combat, there are rules of engagement. We fight a daily fight against the enemy in spiritual combat. Bait and flank tactics are the enemy's favorite. He baits us with rejection issues, draws us in to receive a hurt or attack and react in kind all the while moving to flank and come i...n behind where we have no armor. The minute we receive he hurt and react our flank is exposed.

Joseph J.: Father, in Jesus name I ask for all a greater spiritual discernment, clarity of spiritual sight and physical sight, wisdom and understanding beyond what they have at this moment. To see the path clearly. Give us all wisdom, knowledge and foresight, strength and courage to stand in faith no matter what lies ahead or is ...at our door. Lift us to a closer relationship with you Lord. Amen.

CJ: Our position in Christ overpowers our condition!

CJ: God is constantly revealing HIMSELF to us. Often we are just distracted by the stuff in our hands to see HIM.

Nicole B.: Jesus is a friend who walks in when the world has walked out.

Nicole B.: Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him; for He cares for you affectionately, and cares about you watchfully. ~1Peter 5:7

Ramona R.: No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever. Psalm 16:9,11

Ramona R.: I'm gonna do what is possible and trust God with the impossible.

Dottie: “Jesus has the last word on everything and everyone, from angels to armies. He’s standing right alongside God, and what he says goes.” (1 Peter 3:22, The Message)......I love this one!

Dottie: even though I think something should go a certain way, if I have prayed about it and it doesn't go that way, then the Lord is truly watching out for me and knows what is best for me, He can see all, I can't! Man, I just love Him!! He is SO AWESOME!

Darryl R.: Know that God is empowering us to be difference makers, not status quo keepers.


Darryl R.: Don’t just wait for things to change so we can move into our promised future - promote the changes through faith actions.

Encouragement- 11.09.09

William C.: I have to laugh... I am loved regardless of my many imperfections - and when I go astray; his firm correcting hand affirms my adoption!

Steve C.: Those who engage the enemy without..will soon find where they have not overcome the enemy within.

Nicole B.: Two scriptures come to mind for me today: No weapon forged against you will prevail ~Isa 54:17 and I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears ~Ps 34:4

Dew D.: There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)


Danny W.: Every fighter is looking for a genuine relationship with a heavenly trainer. If all you do is throw religion punches and kicks, those standing across from you will have no choice but to defend themselves. However, if you show the love of Jesus first, others will be more likely to receive what has already been placed in their heart from eternity.

Ramona R.: How the Father's heart must break for us when we are broken. We get only a glimpse of this in watching over our own children.
