JOURNEY WITH SPIRIT

Dear God, when my hear is faint, lead me to the rock that is higher than me. Let me find refuge under the shelter of your wings for You are my rock and my salvation.

How often do you pray this prayer, get up off your knees and still worry about not being strong enough to weather the storms of life. We all say "I believe in God" or "I know he will provide" then we worry about when, how will it come, will it be on time.

Where is your FAITH????

A True Believer knows that there is no room for doubt, fear or worry. A true Believer allows God to be in control and becomes the follower. He designed the path for our journey and knows what we will face.

He will be there.

Everyday will not be a great day, and we will not always get what we ask for. We ask for things that sound good but are not good for us…and God knows this. That is when you might believe that your prayers are unanswered.. but God knows best. The days that appear to be not so great, remember who is in control and though it seems that you are alone.. He walks with you.

Spend your time living life and knowing that God designed the plans for your JOURNEY. Rest in the Assurance that whatever each day brings, You are never alone.

God is smart… and Fair.

That is why He is in the prayer answering business.

Today's Quote

Time on earth is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life.

You are an Original

JOURNEY WITH SPIRIT

Dear God, Help us to help each other. Change has to start

in the heart, I can say the words and go through

the motions, but until I put actions to words,

I have not changed. This world needs YOU to walk

with each of us, everyday every step of the way.

Amen

Have you invited God into your life!!!

God is a God that is every where but He will only reside

in you if you invite Him in. He wants you to accept Him as your

Lord and Savior, to invite Him to walk with you….

Then He will be there to guide you as you journey on.

The clay that is our physical home for our brief sojourn

on earth becomes a Sacred Temple

when the Holy Spirit resides there. It requires care

and nurturing. It requires maintenance and upkeep.

It requires you to provide and place where God and His Law can reside

in peace and harmony.

God knows that we fight a daily internal battle.

The flesh and the spirit are always at odds. The flesh is weak

But the spirit within is an equalizer, it provides strength and courage

to help us overcome the weakness of the flesh.

The spirit helps us in our weakest moments,

the "spirit" makes intercession for us.

God may be absent in the flesh but as He uttered

"I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see

your good order and the steadfastness of your Faith in Christ."

Power in the Name of Jesus

Dear Lord, we need you …It is so easy to go astray, to do wrong, to be angry and bitter. We need your rod and staff to keep us headed in the right direction. The people of this nation seem to be lost, they have forgotten what the right path is… but we, your children trust YOU to lead us. And we, the true Believers……will follow.

**********

Jesus, God the Father, Lord and Savior…

There is power in the name.

When we are thankful we call the name, when we need help we call the name. And each time we call on Him, we feel the power in His presence.

A power that can calm the stormy seas of life,

a power that sends the devil running for cover,

a power that is present when we celebrate life's miracles,

a power that brings to you a feeling that everything will be alright.

When we walk into a building that has God's name on it, or when we pray in public places, we are inviting and acknowledging the God presence to come where we are. In our churches, some people go there expecting to find His presence, it is not always there.

Though the church is where you would expect to find His presence, some church buildings are so ornate and so full of un-Godly spirits, God will not come in, and He is not invited.

This is why "so many people" have lost their way.

In God we should trust, wherever I am I am proud to have Him with me, I will not hide it, I will not deny knowing Him, and in all things I will seek Him. That is my answer to His promise to me.

What is your answer????

Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot is a book about how unleashing your brain power can help you raise your level of thinking and reasoning. As young children we felt a freedom to think and live outside the box. Color outside the lines. Formal schooling has a way of taking some of that creative freedom away.

Because we are products of formal education, we have been programmed to stay within certain limits. Those limits may be self imposed or imposed by others but they block our full use of all the brain power we have. The wonderful thing about life is it throws situations at you that challenge your ability to function under stress, forces you to make rational decisions while under duress, and through everyday living you are challenged mentally to interact with others and deal with sometimes threatening situations.

It is always adversity that reveals true genius.

Adversity forces you to draw on skills and abilities you never knew you had. Adversity can force you into seeing the big picture, options and solutions. God has given you the brain, know that in that brain lies the potential of a Mozart or a Fighter pilot…we made the choice of how far we would push our limits when we decided our lot in life.

In adversity our genius is revealed, in prosperity it is concealed.

Within we have all the tools needed to be all that we could be, the choice was ours.

As we grow older, a sense of loneliness can come over you that you never felt before. Losing companions, parents, family members, friends and others along the way has begun to thin what was once a thick forest of relationships.

May God watch over all of His Children for in later years we need Him to lean on more than ever.

This entitles you to consume life as though it were your favorite dessert while planning for the next dessert. As you continue this journey there are relationships with significant others, friendships, working relationships that are out of balance.

There are people that you have out grown…or they have out grown you. Let them go……… Those that you have outgrown will hinder your enjoyment and kill your joy. Set these things that clutter your life and emotions free. Anything that disturbs the natural rhythm of your peace of mind.. let it go.

There is so much in the world that is available to you, things to enjoy, places to visit, people to meet and yes food to sample. All by Divine order yours are waiting for you. Search and seek what is rightfully yours.

The calm that comes with a joyful life, brings Good health which is better than gold. To maintain that healthy mind, body and spirit.. you must clear the things that clutter your life.

Some roads are better enjoyed when traveled alone.

If you are a Christian you know that in following Jesus you must bear a cross. Not for the same reasons, but afflictions, pain in the body, negativity in the spirit, are trials that we bear. We may get so preoccupied with our trials that we forget the promise of God. We may be so caught up in our issues that we do not feel His presence in our life.

But He is always near.

Going through life sometimes seems like a breeze, no problems, no issues, and all seems well. These are times we can forget the need for God in our lives, but We always need Him, and we really need Him when we are in distress.

When Jesus stood on Calvary, He saved us and restored us. He opened the door so that we may fellowship with God…. we now share His strength. It is His strength that will sustain us. And it is the Cross that reminds us of the measure of God's love for us and should be a reminder of our love for Him.

All of my life I have worn a cross around my neck, never removing it. I have had to replace them because the gold wears thin and I have lost a few. But when ever I feel a need to be close to Jesus and The Father, I gently reach for that cross and just hold it.

It brings me comfort……
