The day with dianne Louise

Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 HCSB There is so much darkness, yet for the Christian there is a light source- Jesus Christ. He leads the way, guides the path, gives direction. Yes it might be like Hansel and Gretal's bread crumb path, but it is there. The more you become like a warrior the more difficult at times it becomes. This scripture is a promise. God's promises carry weight. They can be trusted. There are times when we must wait for the promise to come to pass, waiting shows patiencw but then He is there with His promise. He is my reward. I must still my soul to wait. If i don't wait and instead rely on my own result, I miss a beautiful opportunity to encounter God. God's gifts are remembered, our striving regretted. Jesus Himself waited on the Father. If He had to do it, so do we. Amen!

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalms 118:: When trouble comes i need to know, the Lord is my rock and my salvation, my deliverer. I have a battle on at present and he is attempting to rob my of what is mine, he is waking me up with fear and I know I am moving into new territory, I am taking what is mine. He can go to hell! I am speaking over myself scripture and remmebering to song, he wants to cut off my song, yet will I sing. I listenend to two good podcasts during the week, Pastor Phil Pringle, this man knows faith. The messages were on faith. When I face the enemy in a fight I worship and listen to good messages and read my bible. There is power in the name of Jesus! Break every chain! Break every chain! Break every chain! Amen!

Even though we are speaking this way, dear friends, in your case we are confident of the better things connected with salvation. For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints — and you continue to serve them. Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope, so that you won’t become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance. Hebrews 6:9‭-‬12 HCSB The opening passage refers to what was in discussion in the preceeding passages; it refers to those who have known Christ and walked away. Howver, I want to speak about what comes after. For you, who serve the Lord, diligently, He sees and remembers. You may be experiencing a dark time amd wonder if all you have done was worth it, it is. I have been amazed at how God uses this single woman. He has me walk beside men, giving them support and encouragement, without giving...

But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 HCSB If being thr prerogative. If I walk in the light, there is no darkness in us, no hidden sin, no half-way existence. We are all in Him. The previous says: If we say, “We have fellowship with Him,” yet we walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. John Bevere would love this verse. He is a man of integrity, straight down, truth and integrity. In Christendom we know him for his stance on truth, are we known in such a way? The above verse tells us that if we are in the light He, Jesus cleanses us from all sin. So, to walk in the light does not mean to be white as snow but to be open and honest and that Jesus cleanses us from all sin. The other interesting thing is: we have fellowship with one another in the light, it is a natural phenomena. Good fellowship happens in the light. When we are i...

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.” John 16:33 HCSB What things did Jesus tell them? He was telling them about the future and the fact that He would be going away. He said that they would suffer because of those who did not understand the truth about Him. We can have rosey eyed glasses about the future at times and not expect trouble, yet it comes and often from those close to us. Judas was one of the 12 and he walked with Jesus for 3 years, but he became offended and betrayed Him. Jesus was God in the flesh and yet He did not escape betrayal. However, He went to the Father for support. We can do likewise As we place our trust in Him we are safe. Amen,

I love the Lord because He has heard my appeal for mercy. Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call out to Him as long as I live. Psalms 116:1‭-‬2 HCSB When I first came to Christ, one of the choruses being sung was this Psalm. I loved it then and love it now. My love for it then was gratitude for the Lord calling me to salvation. Now, I am grateful for mercy and grace. I have found that when I humble myself and ask the Lord for mercy and grace in any given situation, and I mean 'any', I receive it. The key is humbling myself, that is, losing arrogance and pride in self. The Lord is keen to come. We see this in the story of the prodigal son. Jesus, who represented the Father, told this parable to illustrate the longing and willingness of the Father to grant forgiveness. The son had to come to the end of himself and realise his sin. This was a humbling experience. It was good for him to do. It is good for us to do. Therefore, as long as I live I will turn to Him,...

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again. John 6:35 HCSB In John we see Jesus refer to Himself as.: I am the way, the truth and the life; I am the door; I am the light of the world; I am the good shepherd; I am the ressurection and the life; I am the true vine. These are clear allusions to 'I am,' in Exodus 3:14. In a day when we desperately seek the way, the truth and the life, it is good to know in Jesus we have all the answers. No other god makes this claim. No other god could substantiate it. There is security in knowing He is! I can trust Him when faced with difficulties when He says to me: "Look at Me!" As I seek Him He shows the way for He is the way. Fancy being given a new puzzle game and seeing that the solution is on the lid. Only a fool would refuse the solution, remove the lid and endeavour to solve the puzzle without referring to the lid. I...
