When? Win?




"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and  maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."
     II Corinthians 2:14

Dear Friends,

In verse 13 of II Corinthians 2,  Paul is discouraged because he cannot locate his friend.  However, very quickly his attitude changes from despair to hope in verse 14.

Why?  He shifted his focus from the perceived problem to the reality.  There is no loss in Christ.  Always He is victorious.  There is a saying the Lord placed in my spirit many years ago. "It don't matter what it looks like it only matters what it is!"  This saying while not indicated in standard English is the standard of faith response.  "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1

When we keep ourselves fixed on the truth of God's word, thanking Him in advance for victory that is sure in every circumstance, we find  we can live triumphantly.  When? Win?  The first "when" cannot be answered matter of fact in most instances.  But God, assures us that while we are not always privy to the timing of deliverance does not mean it is not certain. The second "win" is sealed for we are Winners in Christ.

In Christ we are caused to triumph as we remain in his will.  Romans 8:28:
And we know that all things work together for good... The victory is in knowing God. The preparation for victory is thanking Him in advance.

Say it aloud: "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph..."


Win! Win!

in Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie 

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
