The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.  (Ephesians)

I know that my salvation is secure in Christ Jesus.  I know that my sin debt has been paid with the precious blood of the lamb, my redeemer. I know that I’m loved, protected and guided by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit — the very Master of the Universe!  I know that the purchase of my soul comes with a GUARANTEE in WRITING!  I pray for you to desire to take advantage of the joy that the guarantee offers.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.  (Ephesians)

When I cried out “the Lord is my Shepherd” I knew that my salvation was secure in Christ Jesus.  What I didn’t realize, at that moment, was that I received more than my debt being paid.  I learned that I had always been loved, that I am protected and guided by the Maker of Heaven and Earth — the very Master of the Universe!  I pray for you to recognize who YOU are in Christ Jesus.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.  (Ephesians)

When I cried out “the Lord is my Shepherd” I knew that my salvation was secure in Christ Jesus.  What I didn’t realize was that I received more than my debt being paid.  I have learned that the all powerful Almighty God, master of the universe, maker of heaven and earth, willingly sacrificed his only beloved Son on the cross of Calvary, covering me with his precious blood that I might be acceptable in the presence of Almighty God.  I pray for you to recognize the power in the blood of Christ Jesus.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. ( Ephesians)

Praying everyday. Reading my Bible everyday.  “Doing” everyday.  I learned that it is easy to be off track everyday.  WAITING for guidance from the Holy Spirit everyday, keeps me on track everyday.  I pray for you to shut out the noise everyday to be able to hear the Holy Spirit who is the Lord God Almighty!

Luv Ya!

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.  For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.  He will cover you with his feathers.   He will shelter you with his wings.  His faithful promises are your armor and protection.  Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,  nor the arrow that flies in the day.  Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,  nor the disaster that strikes at midday.  Though a thousand fall at your side,     though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.  Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished.  If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.  For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.  They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.  You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”

Beloved–

Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain; it offers escape from the snares of death. (from Proverbs) 

I can say “yes sir, no sir, whatever you say sir” indicating I’m following your plan but I’m sure my plan is better than your plan. OR  I can say “I’ll conform to your plan” indicating that this is going to be hard but you know better than me. OR I can say “thank you Jesus” indicating that I can see the Holy Spirit working right in front of my very eyes.  I pray for you to focus on hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to you. 

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (from the book of John)

 Even when the worldly joys are taken away for a while, knowing where you come from and who you belong to can bring you joy.  I pray for you to desire to be “born of God” so that your joy will be complete.

Luv Ya!

Beloved —

People who conceal their sins will not prosper,  but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.  (from Proverbs)

When last I wrote I used the word “shame” not as a “put down ” but as  an indication that I recognized a missed opportunity to trust my Lord instead of myself.  Which caused me to quickly confess my sin and get back on the right path.  I pray for you to desire to trust the Lord God Almighty rather than yourself.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

. . .  And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself . . .  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.  (from Galatians)

The desire of my heart is to listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance in all that I do, say, think or feel. My thought life is my greatest source of shame daily.  I pray for you to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance because he IS Almighty God!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

My old self has been crucified with Christ.   It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  (from Galaians)

You are the HEM and I am the temple.  When I take my hand away from yours to look back or to try to control my future you patiently, mercifully, graciously wait until I learn that my happiness doesn’t lie within myself.  Contentment is choosing Jesus Christ to live in me rather than having my own way.  I pray for you to desire to want the Lord to be the HEM and you to be his temple.

Luv Ya!
