Do You Know?

We live in a time where some believe because of association or status. My question is not based on the physical we may see such as knowing the barber or handyman down the street. How much do you know about the love of Christ?  Let’s talk about the experience.  Jesus Christ is the reason you can have an abundant life. Can you call Him friend? Prayerfully you can say, yes. We are all brought for a price and that is through the blood of Jesus.  (Read: 1 Cor. 6:20)  Literally, paid in full with His blood.  Therefore, we are to honor and glorify God.

We have been given a gift and we did not work for it. Wow, you were thought of before you knew Jesus. Why do we move so slowly when God speaks. Do you know God’s voice? Man says this or that and we move, jump, and run to do. It is true, we do.  Who do you trust without a doubt?  Stop putting all your trust in man and trust all things from God. This not to say that you never trust anyone, but be wise in who and what we trust in.  Have confidence in the Lord. No matter what—Trust God. Man gives you no guarantee.

In your times of trouble, do you know to call Jesus? 

He is your help in times of need.

He is your power when week.

He is your voice when speechless.

He is your vision when sightless.

He is your everything.

Yield to His Will and call on Him.  He will always have a better way.  Is your way working? Do you believe He is working it out? Are you sure you are following His Word?  Remember trials and tabulation may come but God is in control. He will not leave you in the wilderness or lead you to failure—When we allow Him to guide us!  Take the path He sent you to navigate and keep going. Move with urgency and eyes on Christ Jesus.  (Read: Hebrews 12:1-2)   Start a relationship today or strengthen the one you have with the Lord.  

Read: John 14:6, 1 John 4:10, John 17:3

May the riches treasures of the Lord be upon you.

Stay Focused and Be Blessed!

Who are you?

      What is your answer? You may be asking, what do you mean? It may or may not be a thought provoking question for you. Some may find it so. Think about this situation. Have you experienced a question during a job interview and it took you by surprise? For example, “Tell me something about yourself.” Many of us find this question challenging. Do you know how to answer this question? Well, it does not involve giving your life story. Do you need to practice your response?  Who are you? (speak out loud five things)

What does God say you are? Giving you the common response most think of first “I am a child of God” and “I am a son or daughter of the King.” Challenge yourself to answer this question. God says you are… What are your five?

Here are few to help describe YOU.

GOD SAYS YOU ARE …

Valued/Precious        1 Corinthians 6:20 ...

                                                you were brought with a price

Strong                         Psalm 18:35 and Philippians 4:13 …

                                                you have all the tools to stand tall

Forgiven                     Psalm 103:12 …you were shown mercy;

                                                forgive yourself

Victorious                   Romans 8:37 and 1 Corinthians 5:57…

                                                you are conquerors

Chosen                       John 15:16 and 1Thessalonians 1:4 …

                                                God found you first

Practice walking in the power of God’s Word. You will need to surrender to His Will and do the Work.  Find more characteristics of who God says you are and believe. People can tell you many things about who they think you are. It is necessary that you know your identity and know you were exquisitely designed.

May the Blood of Jesus Keep You Covered.

I am Saved

 Hello Beloved,

 

I pray you are doing well and holding on in faith.  Stay in prayer and pray for others.  Sadly, there are horrific things happening and people becoming malicious in their actions.  I have been out in the community and have seen and experienced a lack of consideration for others.  What happened to respect, love and compassion?  Please stay safe, if not for yourself but consider others.  A few days ago after I returned home I heard this song and it changed my whole process this weekend.  Yes, a song can bring to remembrance the greatness of the Lord. A soft hum, reading or listening to the Word can be beneficial to you at any time. Praise the Lord.

Let these words speak to you. Sing it with me and I am sure it will change your whole thought process to an attitude of gratefulness.  Imagine if everyone remembered. Praise the Lord…what a great life to live with such confidence and grace.

Saved by the Blood 

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! 

Now ransomed from sin and a new work begun,
Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Refrain:
Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved!
My sins are all pardoned, my guilt is all gone!
Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved!
I’m saved by the blood of the Crucified One! 

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The angels rejoicing because it is done;
A child of the Father, joint-heir with the Son,
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! 

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
The Father He spake, and His will it was done;
Great price of my pardon, His own precious Son;
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!
All hail to the Father, all hail to the Son,
All hail to the Spirit, the great Three in One!
Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! 

This song was written in 1902 by S.J Henderson.  Thank you to Pastor McClurkin and the PFC family for sharing this song to encourage others.  

Much Love
