Delight....

esist scape earch lead vertake ame elight

Delight in the Lord!!!!

Ps 27:6  And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

Now is the time!  Let's celebrate together what just happened.  The enemy approached.  He brought his worst (as he always does). In Christ, YOU STOOD FIRM.

You defeated him without stumbling, even on ground where you have fallen so often before!  You responded with the Word of God.  You made it.  God did it!!  Woot woot!!

Remember, "a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again" Prov 24:16.

Let's remember each and every time to R E S P O N D.  

My friends, we are all on this walk called life together.  If we will learn to "respond" then the enemy will tempt us less and less because I can promise you that the very last thing he wants to happen is for us to call on Jesus, quote scripture, repent, pray and praise.

Join hands, for there is encouragement to be found here.  God is for us and not against us.

So there you have it... the basic tools for our continued growth in our relationship with Christ Jesus and living out His calling in our lives.

Much love to each of you

Call that name!

Here we are.... close to the end....

Resist Escape Search Plead Overtake Name

Ephesians 6:17-19 is where Paul is giving us instruction on the Sword of the Spirit then lets us know that we should get busy praying for others!

First off, I, along with others, have been known to say, "It's the least I can do" when it comes to praying for those around us.  WRONG!!!   It is the most we can do.  To bow before the Throne on behalf of another, remind God of His promises, and come together in the name of Jesus is never the least we can do but instead, is always the very best we can do!  So starting now, I am removing that statement from my vocabulary.

Secondly, prayer isn't just helping those you are lifting in prayer but is also helpful for us as well.  Instead of continuing to wrestle with a temptation, a lie, or on not sinning, we can refocus and intercede for others.

Prayer allows us to climb off the worry go round and experience the true peace of God that in turn will guard our hearts and our minds.  (Phil 4:6-7)

So let's join hearts today and lift up each other and those around us in holy prayer!

March on, my friends, march on.
