Jesus loves me this I know?
Stand and lift up your bible and repeat after me.
This is my Bible.
I am what it says I am.
I can do what it says I can do.
I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be.
Today I will learn more of the word of God.
The indestructible, never ending, living word Of God.
I will never be the same.
I will never be the same.
In Jesus Name.
As Bible believing Christians, we are to have confidence in the strength and ability of the Lord. In Him is only perfect peace. Nothing ever worries God or catches Him by surprise because our God is in charge. The Bible declares that God knows the end from the beginning. There are many people in this world who choose to worry about situations in their life rather than giving the worry to the Lord and trusting in His wisdom to resolve that situation. The Prophet Jeremiah declared in Jeremiah 32:17 NIV "Oh LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”
Be encouraged to trust the Lord and know that in Him is a perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. (Isaiah 46:9-10) (Psalm 56:9-13) (Phil. 4:6-7)
Napoleon was the greatest general of his day and one of the greatest of all time. He was also an astute politician with an unconquerable will to win. His goal was to rule the world and he seemed well on his way to achieving that goal.
History records how he boasted, "Russia next, then Britain, and Napoleon shall rule the world."
When leading his army en-route to conquer Russia, one tiny snowflake fell on Napoleon, ‘Then another, and another, and another, and they kept on falling until Napoleon’s proud army was reeling back, broken and defeated’ not by an enemy’s army nor even a single shot, but by a mass of tiny snowflakes.
Napoleon’s response? "God Almighty was too much for me."

The next time you are tempted to fear the enemy or worry about a situation in your life, remember what the scripture declares in Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." He is our shield and nothing by can harm God’s chosen. Encourage yourself with the strength of the Lord and know that He is with you even in the midst of the storm.
Be strong and show your confidence in the God who created you and know that in the end Victory is promised to come.
We see things on television or hear it on the radio.
People say that this happens and that happens but nothing is going wrong since I gave my heart to the Lord.
Wrong.
The battle is ongoing. You still will have battles, hardships, and things that you will be changing in your lives.
You have to decide how to live your life.
As He wants or as you want.
You may have people say, you should do this or you should do that. I am not condeming them for doing this. The Lord, our God uses people to give us messages. Listen with your heart and pray about what He is showing you.
Many of us when we are accepting the Lord as our Saviour don’t realize what He gives us.
He gives us eternal life but so much more.
He gives us the opportunity to do things that we never imagined
He gives us gifts we never thought we were good enough to have.
He gives us strength to overcome things
He gives us the opportunity to change things about ourselves that we never thought possible.
He changes us when we ask.
Did you hear me? When we ask.
Have you asked? Or have you still felt not good enough.
If you look in the book of Psalms, you will find many things that you like to read
However here is something to think about. Many of us think that when we give our heart to the Lord we have to be perfect or we will be.
The Perfect Psalm
Perfect salvation: The Lord is my shepherd.
Perfect satisfaction: I shall not want.
Perfect rest: He makes to lie down in green pastures.
Perfect refreshment: He leads me beside the still waters.
Perfect restoration: He restores my soul.
Perfect guidance: He leads me in the paths of righteousness.
Perfect protection: I will fear no evil.
Perfect company: Thou are with me.
Perfect Strength: Your rod and staff comfort me
If you are just muddling along at what is going on in your life, you should continue to be muddling along because you are not getting it all.
I have seen many things that people are going through and It takes everything in me to not say, "Hey you are missing out on things."
But that is changing today.
If You live like a man, you will die like a man. You will get nothing from Him.
If you have accepted the Lord as your personal saviour and you are just plugging along,
You are just plugging along.
Do you want to move forward?
If you are hungry to get rid of the past and get gifts in this life that you have not
even thought about and those that you have wanted.
Move on
If you have a desire to have a certain type of job and you know it is from the Lord, ask Him how and go after it.
If you have experienced something in your life and you are afraid to tell others about it, you may be missing out helping someone through the same situation.
If you want to put away the bad part of the past ask Him to take it away.
Speaking of the old Ways
Do you remember the old things that you used to do that God has helped you change?
Are you thinking right now of those things that you would like to change or the things you would like to get rid of?
ASK Him right now to help you get rid of them.
Don’t think about it do it.
Be new as He has made you new by dying on the cross for you over 2000 years ago.
"AMEN"
There are no guarantees in life except that He loves You
He will Guide you
He will hear your prayers,
He will make you new.
He will give you the desires of your heart.
We will close with this and it is a positive not a negative
Why do you go to church?
Do you just come to get together with others and hear a good message just so you can go out and get beat up again?
NO!
The only time people see change in their lives is when they see it in themselves.
I see changes in my life. I get out of bed every morning eager to grow and be used HIM!
You need to see the changes God wants to be doing in your life and get excited about it.
Ask Him for the desires of your heart.
Accept the changes.
Don’t worry about the reaction of other people
When you are changed by God they will know it and may even doubt,
But when you see it in you.
You will grow in Him.
I see things in my life that 20 years ago I would say to you. “No that will never happen to me.”
I have changed my thoughts over the years. I have changed.
I never thought I was good enough to do what I do now but I was wrong.
Prayer works.
I am obeying Him.
I was trying to do things with out letting Him do it in me and with me.
Do you want to grow in Him and see the change that is going on?
Will you accept it even though others may not believe?
Are you willing to accept His direction?
Are you willing to move forward or do want to stay on the same road?
Give yourself to Him.
Say Father, let me be able to do the desires of my heart.
Let me be healed of the past hurts.
Let me grow in You right now.
Let us pray….
