GOOD NEWS!





The Word is the Good News which has been proclaimed to you. I Peter 1:25

  1. I have Good News for you! According to the Word of God you have been ransomed and set free from evil men and worthless companions! You should be aware that the ransom paid to free you from the worthless way of life was the costly blood sacrificial death of Jesus, the Messiah. You have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heaven. In the Messiah, God chose you in love before the creation of the universe to be holy and without defect in His presence.

 Here’s a little advice.  As one who obey God, do not let yourselves be shaped by the evil desires you use to have. Become holy in your entire way of life, since God tells us to be holy because He is holy. If you don’t mix holy with unholy things expect God to bless the hands of your work.  Pay careful attention to how you conduct your life – live wisely, not unwisely. Use your time well, for these are evil days. Don’t be foolish but try to understand what the will of the Lord is. Don’t let the sun go down until you have dealt with the cause of your anger; otherwise you leave room for the Adversary, Satan to come into your life. Ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all the wisdom and understanding which the Spirit gives; so that you may live life worthy of the Lord and entirely pleasing to him. Always be humble, kind,  gentle and patient. Always give thanks for everything to God!

 More Good News: God is light and there is no darkness in him -none! From the treasure of His Glory he will empower you with inner strength by his Spirit. Your life is rooted and founded in love. You have the strength to grasp the breadth, length, height and depth of the Messiah’s love, and be filled with all the fullness of God and remain deeply rooted. The Lord is worthy of trust; he will guard you from the Evil One. God will restore, establish and strengthen you and make you firm. You are strong and you have overcome the Evil One!
Prayer: Thank you Lord for the Good News! Thank you for all you have and will do for me and my family. Thank for the grace, mercy and love you have given us. Thank you for restoring, redeeming, establishing and strengthening  me to make me firmly stand against the wiles of the Evil one.  I pray that you will fill me with the knowledge of your will and help me to be all that you have ordained for me to be.  In Jesus' Precious Name I ask and pray, Amen!
For the Kingdom of God,
Pastor Patricia

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed ...

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle...

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

Image
    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a...
