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,

 Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...
