Seek My face, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible. Let Me displace worry at the center of your being. I am like a supersaturated cloud, showing Peace into the pool of your mind. My Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world. Glorify Me by receiving My blessings gratefully.
I am the goal of all your searching. When you seek Me, you find Me and are satisfied. When lesser goals capture your attention, I fade into the background of your life. I am still there, watching and waiting; but you function as if you were alone. Actually, My Light shines on every situation you will ever face. Live radiantly by expanding your focus to include Me in all your moments. Let nothing dampen your search for Me.
When You said, “Seek my face.”
My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek.”
(Psalm 27:8 NKJV)
Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
(Philippians 4:7 MSG)
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
(Jeremiah 29:13 ESV)
My Prayer
Lord, I want to do this. I want to Seek Your Face. As I read the word and read Spurgeon I am just amazed of the clarity of You and knowing You are the Truth. It is amazing. I know you hold the keys to my future, but I want this to really capture my heart. I really want to know you more. Remove worry from me. I get distracted thinking of events of my life, that remain uncertain. I get too focused on what I do not know rather than what I do know; but Lord, help me to place my trust in You for the future.
I know God that worry is not to be the calling card of my life, but rather it is thanksgiving. I want to have a thankful heart and recognize all your blessings in my life.

Maplewood--- AMEN and AMEN!!!
DeleteMaplewood- as I scroll through these posts on my tablet, I can always identify which are your posts even before I get to your signature line. 😊. Thanks for your offerings and blessings.
DeleteSo true Suzanne☺️
DeleteYes Maplewood, You wouldn’t even have to sign your beautiful posts. Your heart is revealed in every one!
Beautiful devotion today. I am still hanging on “I am the goal of all your searching.”
We are always searching to find ourselves, to find truth, and joy and comfort, and those missing jigsaw puzzle pieces in our lives, and the answers to our questions, and the right direction to walk, and the right words to say, and peace and serenity, and contentment, and fulfillment, and, most importantly, a true and faithful love. All this we find in Christ. He is the answer, the solution, the peace and joy and the only One Who knows what we need and when we need it most. In Him we are truly fulfilled, loved, taken care of, enlightened, encouraged, comforted, guided, perfectly loved and completely understood. How very blessed we are in His love and grace! Praise Him with every breath.
Amen! Praise the Lord!
DeleteYES! Praise and Thank You, Lord. My life is filled with Your Blessings!
DeleteAmen, Maplewood! All Glory and Honor are His! Thank you, Lord, for blessing me and this JC family of believers abundantly to overflowing. Remain blessed, my brothers and sisters in Christ.❤
Delete" I can always identify which are your posts even before I get to your signature line." It's amazing and true! Thank you Maplewood for your heart, prayers and blog contributions. In the words of Paul the Apostle " I thank God for you".

ReplyDeleteWeek of Prayer for Christian Unity: Day Two - from the scripture for the week (Acts 27:18-28:10) Vs. 20: "When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned."
ReplyDeleteThe ship in which Paul is being transported to Rome encounters severe weather on the seas. When storms don't let up, the fragility of the soul easily gives out causing a loss of hope in those on board. Contrast that with the incident in Mark 4:35-41, where Jesus and the disciples are crossing the Sea of Galilee and encounter a severe storm. While the boat is being swamped by the waves pouring over the side of the ship, Jesus is asleep in the stern (incredible). Yet, you and I know Him to be the Lord of all and His soul remains in absolute peace in the midst of absolute chaos. He wakes from His sleep because the disciples are in a state of panic and He rebukes the wind and sea and there is a dead calm. And His question to the disciples (and to us), "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" (I can understand the lack of faith in the disciples for they were still in process of discovering who Jesus truly is; on the other hand, I know He is Lord of All and yet, in the storms of life, why do I so easily panic that all is being lost? Lord have mercy!).
Message for the unity of all believers: There are many storms today that are causing people to give up hope. Beloved Church, you are called to reflect the Light of Christ to a darkened world. But if the storms of divisiveness are allowed to enter the Body of Christ, His Light is seen less clearly or, at times, blocked out completely. Let us all seek Christ's light together in a spirit of oneness so the world can see hope and be drawn to it.
Parting thought: Auntie Jeanne, Maplewood NJ, KS, and Sassy Mom, thanks for shinning your light this morning. It is going to be a beautiful day. God be with you!
Good day Bob,
DeleteThank you for your thoughts yesterday on learning to pray. Much appreciated.
Amen,
As always, such profound insight. Thank you for sharing, Bob.
DeleteAmen brother!!!
DeleteWonderful Bob, We are surely experiencing dark storms right now in our world but His Light and Hope are so much greater. And in this safe meeting place of fellowship and love, where we come each day, we are seeking Him together in praise and thanksgiving.
DeleteWe must just remember that He is just as present for us in these days as He was when His disciples needed Him. His promises are for all people who believe in Him. The Hope He offers is unchanging and available to all who seek Him with a sincere heart of repentance and faith. Blessed we all are that we know the truth and believe His promises. The best is yet to come both in this world and in our final resting place, our celestial Home in the sky!
Ephesians 1:18
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
Oh Lord, I know you are always here with me. I pray I may truly let go and seek your face, and allow the many blessings upon me. You know I am reminding myself often to let go of worries and of worrying. Thank You always, Lord, for you unending patience as I am on this rocky path, sometimes gripping Your hand tightly and sometimes walking off on a detour by myself until falling and realizing you are right there to pick me up again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Father, for Your continual blessings upon me. May I receive them graciously today and always. I pray I am able to see the blessings even as I am stumbling on this uneven terrain of earthly life. I know ALL experiences are blessings; sometimes I need to remind myself of this. May I humbly receive each blessing with true gratitude in my heart.
I pray each of us are able to seek You and thank You in the "easy times of life" as well as in our difficulties. May we be reminded You are always there with us; You have not and will not abandon us. Let us remember to always seek You and not try to manage on our own. Thank You, God, for everything. Amen. CO
Amen CO 🙏.
DeleteYou sure did echo the words of my heart, dear CO! Praying right along with you! I will do my best not to let go of His Hand and go my own way today. His way is so much better!
DeleteAmen, CO! Reminding myself to seek Him in ALL things and to be thankful in ALL circumstances. Help me, Father, to not lose sight of You. When I walk off and stumble, which I will, gently remind me that You're always there to guide me home. Blessings to all.
DeleteJoining Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2021:
ReplyDeleteDay 2, Maturing internally: “Abide in me as I abide in you” (John 15:4a)
Scripture
Ephesians 3:14-21, May Christ dwell in our hearts
Luke 2:41-52, Mary treasured all these things
Meditation
The encounter with Jesus gives rise to the desire to stay with him and to abide in him: a time in which fruit matures.
Being fully human, like us Jesus grew and matured. He lived a simple life, rooted in the practices of his Jewish faith. In this hidden life in Nazareth, where apparently nothing extraordinary happened, the presence of the Father nourished him.
Mary contemplated the actions of God in her life and in that of her son. She treasured all these things in her heart. Thus, little by little, she embraced the mystery of Jesus.
We too need a long period of maturation, an entire lifetime, in order to plumb the depths of Christ’s love, to let him abide in us and for us to abide in him. Without our know- ing how, the Spirit makes Christ dwell in our hearts. And it is through prayer, by listening to the word, in sharing with others, by putting into practice what we have understood, that the inner being is strengthened.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, may we receive in our hearts the presence of Christ, and cherish it as a secret of love. Nourish our prayer, enlighten our reading of Scripture, act through us, so that the fruits of your gifts can patiently grow in us. Amen
Amen Brie 🙏. Joining you in your sweet prayer.
DeleteThank you Brie. Amen to your prayer 🙏
DeleteThank you Brie.
DeleteI'm pausing, in prayer, to ask the Holy Spirit to bless every one that meets here today.
And this word came to mind and I looked it up: MARANATHA!
Amen Brie thank you for sharing this week of prayer meditation with us as Bob did the past couple years. Praying for you all.
DeleteKeith- Thank you! joining in your prayer. Maranatha!
Blessings from France
Amen Brie🥰
DeleteThank you Bree and Keith I looked up the word maranatha. Lord come! Come and fill us with your Holy Spirit. Lord come and give us the mind of Christ. Lord, abide in us so we can love others like you do. Lord come and speak to your children in every nation. Calling them to prayer and repentance. Lord Jesus come!!
DeleteSorry for the misspell on your name Brea. How is Larry doing? Praying for you and your family
DeleteNo worries about spelling, our Dear TERRI; only the thoughts of the heart really matter, and I received yours! Larry is better and better everyday, thanks to your prayers and all of our JC Family praying for him. Much Love and Many Blessings to you, yours, and our JC Family!
DeleteSo glad Larry is getting better and so glad you shared the unity prayer, Brie. COME HOLY SPIRIT! 🙏🙏🙏
DeleteThank you Brie! That just lifted my day and encouraged my heart! Hallelujah! Larry is getting better. Doing a little dance right in my kitchen for Him! Thank You Jesus!
DeleteKeith, We used to sing a song called Maranatha in Choir. It was very beautiful. Come Lord Jesus!
Amen sweet Audra, Come Holy Spirit.
We sang a song in Choir like that. I will try to remember the words:
Holy Spirit, Come into my heart.
Holy Spirit, Take my heart and keep it.
One in the Father,
One in the Son.
Holy Spirit, You are One in Love.
Amen, Brie! So happy to hear that your DH Larry is on the mend. Praise God!!

DeleteMost Loving Father, We Thank You for Your dominion and reign over every living thing and over the entire universe. You are our hiding place, and under Your wings this nation will always find refuge. As our leaders are sown in tomorrow, we pray for protection from the evil plots of the enemy. May we look to You as our Protector, the One Who fights for us every day. May Your hedge of Protection remain over this nation, the incoming leaders, law enforcements and all of Your peoples, for the sake of Your Son Jesus. We pray that You would impart Your wisdom to our government leaders and turn their hearts so that Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth, in our country, states, and cities, as it is in heaven. May the wisdom of Solomon be granted to all our leaders, to provide equal opportunity. May we as a nation work tirelessly to untangle all the many social injustice which plague our society today. May the blessings upon the national leaders, through their discussions and decisions, achieve together a fairer and more united society and may this great nation be guided by Your Divine Power. May the wounds of separation and division be healed. May we as a people under God, learn to honor and enjoy our diversity and differences as humans, even as we more deeply touch our fundamental unity. May our leaders embody courage, compassion, and a higher vision that is of You, Lord. May we inspire each other with our potential as individuals and as a nation, so that a new spirit of forgiveness, caring, and truth be return in our nation. And as nation, may we rededicate ourselves to truly living as one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And may YOUR Will be done for the United States, as we, the people, align with that Will. In Jesus' name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteEzekiel 7:11:
Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness; None of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of them; nor shall there be wailing for them.
Pray that the rod of wickedness which causes VIOLENCE to arise to be broken and that multitudes of innocent casualties would be spared.
Pray against every access point via our interstates where illegal weapons and ammunition are trafficked
Pray for supernatural insight on the law enforcement entities assigned
Pray for aggressive evangelism campaigns to be activated city wide with miracles, signs, wonders & strange works manifesting salvation
Pray for every covenant of hell & agreement with death to be annuled in your nation.
Ezekiel 7:23:
Make a chain, For the land is filled with crimes of blood, And the city is full of violence.
Pray for the LORD to break every chain of violence and murder that has been bound to inhabitants or sites in the city causing it to be a breeding ground for bloody crimes. Loose all spirits connected to murder and blood thirsty spirits, and bind righteousness, reconciliation, peace upon the city.
Pray against all avengers of blood hidden in the communities of your city.
Pray for the watchmen to arise: Ezekiel 33:1-7
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” (1 Tim 1-4)
Blessings and Peace.

DeleteHappy Tuesday, JC family. I want to thank BFF, Sassy Mom, Janet, Jeanne, Brie, Keith, Loveconquersall, Mindy, Norah, and ALL OTHERS HERE for all for the beautiful birthday wishes and blessings from the bottom of my heart! Y'all know how to really make a girl feel special. On Saturday, my daughter and her family came down from up north to help me celebrate. It was a joyous day full of love, and I couldn't be more grateful to God for the many blessings He rains down on me.
ReplyDeletePlease keep my Aunt Bertha in prayer. It appears she has suffered mini strokes after the first main stroke. She is home and resting, but is now also suffering from an infected crown that fell out. Covering her with the Blood of Jesus.
Also, one of my sons is currently driving cross country so praying traveling mercies over him. Lord, please keep him safe, and may he be a Light to all that he encounters.
Loveconquersall, happy belated birthday to your precious grandson! I hope he enjoyed his special day, and sending you both love and blessings.
Brie, continued prayers for healing over DH Larry's leg. I loved reading about his smile. May he continue to improve in Jesus name.
Norah, what a blessing for you to have celebrated your 65th birthday! I hope it was wonderful. And dancing over your Victory Report! God is good!
Wishing you all a super blessed day! Love you all! ❤
Father, please give Aunt Bertha Your comfort, peace, love, and healing. Sit next to Rose's son as he travels cross country and protect him and keep him safe.

DeleteThanks for your prayers and blessings dear Janet! God bless you always
Reading all of these posts before bed and read ahead for tomorrow (Oh, what a blessing...."Don't try to figure out what is happening. Simply trust Me and thank Me in advance for the good that will come out of it all. I know the plans I have for you, and they are good." That is all my brain can handle right now....and I'm ever so thankful that I read those words before sleep. Tomorrow will be a BIG day, indeed.
ReplyDeleteLifting your Aunt Bertha, Rose and trusting our Lord to keep her comfortable and safe. Looks like I missed LoveConquesAll's Grandson's BDay! I remember praying when he was born - what a blessing. :) Rose, my BD was in August and I haven't even had a chance to appreciate all of the blessings yet (though I did appreciate my Medicare when Dear Hub and I were not feeling great!).
As we go to sleep tonight (for all of you who will be awake long after me), let's agree to lift our Country, our President as he exits, our new one as he enters and all of the details that will involve. From everything I'm hearing, it may not be an easy day or days ahead, but I trust my God to protect each and every one and all of us. Praying for each of you and thanking God for His many Blessings.
Thank you for your prayers, dear Norah and all of you praying with me. They are truly appreciated. Norah, birthday blessings are such an amazing gift that my mother says we need a full year to appreciate them all. I think she's right! Lol Standing in agreement with you, Norah, to lift up our government. Praying that we can somehow get back to ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Praying for all prayer requests and petitions posted and those kept private. God knows our hearts and what we need. Remain blessed, JC family.
ReplyDeleteFather, I will seek Your face in all I do, think, and say. Help me to follow through with this. I praise You Lord always. Thank You Jesus. You are my everything Lord.
ReplyDeleteAmen sweet Janet! He is my everything and I praise Him for His loving kindness and tender mercies.
Delete“ONE NATION UNDER GOD
ReplyDeleteINDIVISIBLE “
Sometimes it seems people have forgotten this statement …..especially in the world of politics
And we only have to look at the present state of affairs
and see that this one nation without a focus on God is divisible
and dividing more and more….
But there is hope , there is always hope thank God
Good always triumphs over evil
There are people all over this country , like the people on this blog that continue to be examples of “Indivisible under GOD”
And for that I thank God🙏♥️🙏
Perfectly stated John.
DeleteTJ
Joining TJ, John S, and will add wonderfully to TJ's "perfectly" stated!
DeleteOne of the enemy's tactics is 'divide and conquer'. So to defeat this we Christians stand firm United in Christ Jesus, cleansed by His Blood from all unrighteousness. Against that, the enemy is impotent.
DeleteYou spoke the truth John! Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We stand together on the Rock and He is our strength and our salvation! We shall overcome.
DeleteI share with you thoughts on 'The Ragamuffin Gospel' (Embracing the Unconditional Love of God) Brennan Manning.
ReplyDeleteA journey of discovery with the Carpenter Messiah/ Redeemer.
Amazing amazing amazing utterly outrageous AMAZING GRACE.
Totally unearned, I am owed nothing.
His Grace is totally unconventional and absolutely non-politically correct according to the worlds standards.
Furious unrelenting immutable uncontainable love of God.
All consuming Fire.
Sheer delightful Unconditional Love, Unconditional sacrifice.
Outrageous Audacious Unmerited Grace - Merciful Love of the Redeeming God.
Peace and Reconciliation available for all with Almighty God.
Unreservedly accepted, approved and infinitely loved.
Inextricably, inseperably interwoven into/with the very fabric of God through His Grace to us. (Who or what can seperate us from the love of God....absolutely NOTHING!)
Indelibly my name is Graven/Tatooed on the palms of His Hands with/by His Love, Grace, Mercy.
Living by the gospel of Grace leads us into a God-filled, Christ soaked universe, a world charged with the grandeur of God. How do we live in this super-charged dynamic Presence of the Living God?
In wonder, awe, amazed by the traces, the sights, sounds and fragrance of Him, His Presence all around us, and in us, flooding us with His life and love; that's how.
He is in the thunderstorm, the cry of seagulls, the loving eyes of my wife, the fragrance of a flower, the buzzy-ness of a busy pollen soaked bee.
The purpose of life is not just to live through it, but to live knowing God, enjoying a wonderful relationship with Him now and forever.
Repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness, it's what we do because we've been forgiven.
The response of a grateful thankful heart is love and to love unconditionally as He does.
Eternally grateful unquestioning obedience.
God is looking for Perseverence not performance or perfection.
The race goes not to the swift but to those who endure to the end.
Judgement has no place in Grace, therefore stand not in judgement one over another, (as you are guilty of the same offences) nor judge yourself ( for have not I forgiven you?).
Romans 8:1
English Standard Version:
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are IN Christ Jesus".
"Those who have the disease called Jesus will never be cured." (Old Russian proverb ) Amen!
The mind is a powerful force but the mind of Christ dwelling richly in me always wins.
Wow. I'll need looking into those resource, thank you for sharing, Peter! God bless you and our JC family gathered here today.
DeleteLet us run the good race with perseverence. No matter how dark our wilderness becomes, there is great light at the end and the best is yet to come. When we are weary, He carries us.
DeleteAsking dear family for prayers for my grandson. He has a cyst on his neck. Thank you. Blessings 💕
ReplyDelete🙏♥️🙏
DeleteJoined my sighs and groans with all this morning!
DeleteJoining prayers for your sweet grandson, Jan.
DeleteThank You Father for guiding the doctors to make him better. Thank You Jesus! Praying it is nothing to worry about. Thank You for Your faithfulness. Amen!
Praying Jan <3 in agreement with all.
DeleteYou got it, Jan. Thank you Father for your healing hands on Jan's grandson.
ReplyDeletePraying for your Grandson, Jan and or you, Janet, Min - all of this dear JC Family.
ReplyDeleteI thank you for your continued prayers. My DH is doing great and I believe I'm next! Better but not 100%. My own mind is not my friend right now and I know that the only solution to that is to keep His Word in it. I will read and re-read your post, Peter. MadFox, I'm doing my best to heed your words from yesterday. I still have them up. I am praying my struggles lead to Trust.
Counting my blessings: the sun is out (so very thankful). My DH and #2 Son prayed for me this morning as I know multiple others are. I'm thankful I could 'call off' work and just read and rest. I'm praying the Sonshine works into my heart and lifts this gray cloud I'm experiencing. I always do that my getting active - giving and just don't seem to have it in me right now. My best medicine is to pray for others....get my mind of me!
May God lift that gray cloud right off of you and shine the most brilliant light into your heart and onto your path dear Norah. So happy to hear your DH is doing well. You are indeed next. 100 percent is right around the corner. Your loving Father will lead you to a perfect recovery. Amen the SONSHINE will wash right over you and make everything better! Thanks for your prayers.
DeletePrayers for Butterfly Love: I was bringing up tomorrow's devotion and saw a post from Butterfly Love. If you see this tonight, please be praying for her ENT appt tomorrow. You can read the details on tomorrow's post but I wanted to list it here too for any of you night owls.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless - Our Father is on the Night Watch!
Praying now for dear Butterfly Love. I have been praying for healing of her lungs. Thank You Father for good results and more victories to celebrate in Jesus' Name.
ReplyDeleteCelebrating that my little Gabriel who slept over last night had to have a Covid test today because a child in his class tested positive. His result was negative! Thank You Jesus. You are so faithful. Hallelujah!
My dear friend Emilio got his kidney transplant yesterday. Still waiting to find out how he is. Please pray for him and his dear wife Mayda . They are my brother and sister in Christ and they are very dear friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks for praying for me too because my Pet Scan showed lymphoma also in my tummy and just left of it. God is merciful and faithful so I'm continuing to lean on His Words and Promises.
May God answer all our prayers and bring us and our loved ones back to perfect health. Thank You Jesus!

Amen the SONSHINE will wash right over you and make everything better! You have our prayers. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
DeletePraying for you and your "family in Christ". May our heavenly Father lift up all your hearts and fill your bodies with His perfect love, peace, comfort, and healing. As you keep your eyes on Him, He will walk with you and guide your steps during this time of your journey. The apostle Paul speaks of how we are to rejoice in times of tribulation for that is how the Lord's perfect glory shines bright and brings blessings beyond our understanding. You are blessed 🙌 🙏. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen. Peace be with you.
DeleteFinally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do,and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8-9).
DeletePraying for Emilio & Mayda. May his body accept that kidney as if it's always been there. Amen! 🙏🙏🌈
DeleteYou can count on our prayers Jeanne . Our God and your faith expressed through your immune system is stronger than anything else going on in your body. Thy will be done. Blessings sister🙏
DeleteDear Jeanne, the warriors continues to do battle for you against this lymphoma. We speak the name of Jesus over you & against this invader! When I finally calmed down after receiving the news about my kidney, I approached the throne of grace & point blank asked God, "what are You up to?" " What have You got up Your sleeve?" Bottom line dear Jeanne is that we know deep, deep in our "knower" that He doesn't waste any part of our journey with Him, the good, the bad & the ugly. We hit it all through earthly travel. We get our rest when we get "home!" So for now, our rest here is leaning on Him. Through prayer this JC family is also holding you up. We love you💞💓🙏🙏🌈🌈
DeletePrayers going up for you Jeanne… princevalley
DeleteDear Brie, Janet, Jan, Blessings from NY and Prince valley, Your sweet words, prayers and verses were my good breakfast today! Thank you so much for praying for Mayda and Emilio especially that Emilio will accept his new kidney as if it were his own. Amen to that! Hallelujah!
DeleteI have been strong in the Lord and I have not broken down with this latest news about my lymphoma but I had a good cry on the phone with my sister today and I am so ready to fight with my powerful God tomorrow as I get my infusion. I don’t care that men say follicular lymphoma isn’t curable. God is my cure! His promises are above man’s words. Perfect love casts out all fear. I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. He has never left me and He never will. May you all have a blessed day in His presence. Let us continue to bring every concern and problem to Him, and rejoice in our good and bad times. He holds both in His loving Hands. Much love and gratitude! 💗🙏
Dear Jeanne, You are a blessing and inspiration to all of us. Praying for you and healing. 🙏💕
DeletePraises to God! Once again, today's devotion and Scripture are sooo true for us! Seek My face, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible! You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13 ESV)
ReplyDeleteTESTimony! He DID IT AGAIN! He showed up and He showed out at Keith's City hearing. The outcome was better than we could ever have dreamed about, hoped for, asked of Him, or imagined. Most of all, we were overcome by His Presence throughout. Thank You pray-ers. Your prayers work and accomplish much, In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Amen and Hallelujah!!! God is good ALL THE TIME!!!
DeleteWonderful! Bless His Holy Name.
DeleteGreat news dear Brie! Hallelujah! God is Awesome! 🎉🥳
Delete🙏 great news Brie!
DeleteBrie --- Yeah!!! Our Great I AM watches over His WORD to perform it!
DeleteI received this and was greatly helped by it, so I wanted to share yet another place from where Great Help can come:
ReplyDelete“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” James 1:2-4 (NLT)
NEW GRATITUDE: THE SCRIPTURE THAT CHANGED MY STORY!
I was living out the, “when it rains, it pours” chapter of my life. Days consisted of tears, anguish, feelings of hopelessness, and so on. In the middle of one of my “woe is me” monologues, a dear friend interrupted me and read James 1: 2-4. I was left speechless and very confused. Why in the world would I find joy in any of this? Better question, how?
I read that scripture every day, sometimes several times a day, prayed over it, and even wrote about it. “God, I find no joy in this, but I pray one day that I will.” My story began to shift page by page, and a plot
twist was introduced. I conceded that God is the Author of my story, and He was carefully weaving together an intricate chapter for my
good. Much later and still today, I am most grateful for that chapter. The new plots, new characters introduced, and the new settings in my story could never have been written if that “when it rains, it pours” chapter had never been written.
Now, when I’m experiencing the chapters that are scary, unpredictable, stressful, and even hurtful, I can view these stories through the lens of New Gratitude.
New Gratitude is the soul’s illumination, the heart’s jubilation, and faith’s endurance. New Gratitude is the never-ending story of God’s promises and love. And sometimes, we have to have complicated and messy chapters written, in order to experience New Gratitude. Tiffany Diggs
With due apologies to Patti LaBelle, "I've Got A New GrAttitude!"
In Jesus' Name. Amen
Thank you Brie. Very inspiring.
DeleteGod's light will always shine through the darkness of our days. We believe Him and we believe in Him. We trust all that He says. His promises are true and He is faithful all the time. There is nothing to fear. Perfect love casts out fear. Shalom.
DeleteLove it! Thank you for sharing. It made the start of my day great!

Amen dear Brie! Amen! It's Earth! Not Heaven! What are we expecting? It's messy, it's turbulent, always churning out sludgy, mucky terrain, above all, it's broken. But the provisions of the cross we can walk victoriously through it all! Hallelujah! We can stand on James 1: 2-4 & find Joy! Thank Brie for sharing.💞💞
DeleteBoy did I need this, dear Brie! You cannot imagine. Thank you, thank you! Will keep this in my cabesa and at the forefront of my thoughts today and this weekend!
DeleteAMEN and AMEN 🌈💞
DeleteThank you so much for sharing this dear Brie! It was right on time just like our God! So very uplifting and just what I needed! I know God is writing my future page by page. I know it is necessary that I walk through this wilderness with Him because He is growing me in faith and trust like never before. He knows exactly how I feel and He keeps reassuring me that He’s with me. He’s all I need. I know that. We all have valleys to cross but we must not lean on our own understanding because He empowers us and strengthens us through our trials. The battle is the Lord’s and He faithfully leads us through them.
DeleteWe’re ready to fight more tomorrow morning at my next treatment. He’s got this!!
Isaiah 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10). For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, "Seek Me and live." (Amos 5:4). But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29). But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that comes to God must know that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6). With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! (Psalm 119:10).
ReplyDeleteAmen! Wonderful food today dear Janet! Thanks
Delete"Let Me displace worry at the center of your being."
ReplyDeleteBy nature I am not one who worries. But occasionally, out of the blue, a thought hits me, like a sharp spasm. I almost gasp! Sometimes it's an after thought, but usually I take it to my Lord Jesus straight away.
One occasion I had the thought that we're running out of money quicker than it can be replaced. A stabbing worry spasm hit me. He said " Don't worry, that is My concern not yours!
" Seek My face, and you will find more than you ever dreamed possible."
Psalm 68:19 "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation."
" My Nature is to bless. Your nature is to receive with thanksgiving. This is a true fit, designed before the foundation of the world."
He and we, better than two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle are a true fit. He blesses, we receive His blessings.
There is such deep harmony and satisfaction in this realization.
Genesis 22:14 NLT "Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the LORD will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided"
Jehovah Jireh; Our Provider :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and heartfelt prayer. So blessed to belong to such an amazing and awesome God! Let us keep our eyes on the Lord so all other things grow dim. He is the light and truth of our lives and His love is perfect and everlasting.
ReplyDeleteThank God that His Spirit urged you to speak up about it and question the surgery. God’s way is the right way. You and your son are always in my prayers. Our God is so faithful that He made things right for you and your son! Continuing to pray for his full recovery. God bless you both.
ReplyDeleteFree as can B, this reminds me of my Best Man's delayed chemo. The first one caused what they thought were heart issues. Long story short: it was a month before they could resume chemo. We said, "Wait a minute, a lot can happen in a month! We should do another blood test." The NP sort of laughed and said, "Well, nothing could change in a month." We said, "A lot can change in a month and there is a reason for the delay. You know, Mary, that we believe God is running this whole thing and if you had, even a clue, as to how many people are praying for this man, you'd understand." She is a believer and said, "OK - we'll run another blood test." The results of that blood test ended in a call from Mary saying, "We don't know how to explain this. His counts are NORMAL. We've never seen this before, but all we can say is - he does NOT need chemo." We told her (laughing, crying) that we COULD explain it, if she was interested. At our next appt, the Oncologist walked in with a surprised look on his face and said, "You look as great as your numbers do!" And here we are - 4 months later - all still normal. Only God....only GOD could bring these results, as with your son and you listening!! I LOVE THIS!
ReplyDelete....and Jeanne - this is a Prelude to the rest of your story - from my lips to God's ears. <3
ReplyDeleteWow, Norah, this is beautiful! I'm in tears 🙌 👏 God is so good! Thank You Father for Your mercy. I'm so thankful this happened for you all and us His way <3 amazing 👏 🙌 Thank you all for praising Him with me <3 your victories are my victories and my victories are your victories and all of our victories are His! <3
ReplyDeleteAnother victory in Jesus Christ!!! Thank you for sharing your testimony. So wonderful! Hallelujah and praise God always 🙌.

Effective Prayers
By Michael Youssef, Ph.D.
In these uncertain times, prayer is essential. It is our greatest form of communication with a holy God who has provided a way for us to not only worship Him but know Him personally. Through prayer, we discover the depths of God's mercy and love for us. It is also where we confess our sin and receive His forgiveness.
Still, many avoid prayer. Rather than becoming an opportunity to be cleansed and to fellowship with God, prayer becomes a joyless duty. Perhaps this is because some have never learned the secret of powerful and effective prayers. So, how do we pray effective prayers?
The Bible tells us, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16). If being a righteous man or woman is the key to powerful and effective prayer, what are the characteristics of a righteous person?
A righteous person is a person who is in right standing with God. A righteous person has a personal relationship with Jesus as his or her personal Savior. A righteous person seeks to obey God and yield to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Righteousness is manifested in a person who wants what is right according to the Word of God—he or she wants to see God's will and Truth established on this earth.
Prayer: God, I pray that I would live righteously before You. Reveal anything in my life that might be a hindrance to my relationship with You. Thank You for the promise that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).
Dear Sassy Mom -- Thank you for sharing the Bibical teaching and scripture. James 5:16 -- I repeat this scripture to the Lord often! And yes, PRAYER IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL! HALLELUJAH!!! Sending you Blessings, Hugs, and Love!
DeleteJJ - A GREAT BIG LOUD AMEN AND AMEN!!!!
Delete"PRAYER IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL! HALLELUJAH!!!"
Thanks dear Sassy Mom!! I needed that! I try to follow after righteousness and the Spirit and I try to stay in His presence to avoid temptations to follow the world and the flesh. But God knows I fall short of pleasing Him. I judge others and allow my human emotions to get the best of me. Guess that’s why my prayer is often: Thank You for making me a better person. He knows exactly how to mold us and what we need. Praying He will lead us all to be more righteous and selfless. Thank You Jesus!
DeleteThank you for sharing Sassy Mom! Very encouraging!
DeleteSassy Mom~ you have been on my mind since I woke up this morning and then I came here to find your wonderful share. Thank you... I needed this. Hope you're doing well!
DeleteHello fellow prayer warriors! Please join me in thanking our Lord for the complete removal of any cancer cells from my dear friend's breast lumpectomy surgery today.

My Father God, I come before You with gratitude for guiding Audra's friend through the lumpectomy. I lift her up in prayer, believing for complete healing and removal of every cancer cell from her body. Father God, Let Your restoring power flow through her and grant strength for the journey ahead.
DeleteMay she experience Your Healing Touch and walk in Health and Wholeness. Pleading the Blood of Jesus over her and family. In Jesus's name, AMEN and AMEN.
Joining in prayers for your friend and others with these afflictions. Lord, please remove these bad cancer cells and heal their body whole again. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen 🙏.
DeletePraying your friend got good news that all went well because God was in charge.
DeleteWhat great news!!! I’m celebrating 3 victories! What a blessing! Thanking God with you for destroying every cancer cell in your friend and leading her back to perfect health in Jesus’ Name. Amen
ReplyDeletePsalms 37:3-10
ReplyDeleteTrust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
Love that scripture, Jeanne. Just love it!
DeleteMe too, sweet sister!
DeleteDear Norah -- Such great news about your hubby's successful surgery. We serve an amazing God! Thank You.

DeleteYes and Amen!
ReplyDeleteJoining JC warriors in thanking and praising the Lord for the VICTORY IN JESUS GREAT news about Norah's BEST MAN!
ReplyDeleteJeanne. Such Great news from your oncologist! "See ya in a year" is always the top statement you want to hear from any doc... but most especially an oncologist! Amazing new therapies and an amazing God! Blessings Amen.
ReplyDeleteNorah. Ditto for you and my MM buddy! Godspeed.
Yay God! ♥️🙏
ReplyDeleteAmen, dear Janet.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear MadFox! I sure am walking in Gratitude! I couldn’t believe he said a year. I just told him I knew Jesus healed me. God is faithful. As Audra said: Yay God!
ReplyDeleteYay God and His "earth angels" i.e. those amazing researchers and docs discovering how our body works and finding miracle drugs and therapies. It still amazes me that we are looking at chromosomes and atoms. Thank you God for the amazing brains looking to cure cancer!
DeleteThank you - all of you Dear JC Family Prayer Warriors! Audra, I was doing Jan Gridley's Happy Dance with this news and Jeanne - I double-timed it for you! Yes, Mad Fox - 'Let's give it a year,' is the tune we ALL want to dance to!
DeleteMy DH is doing great: BP, good; eyes clear, color-good. We are tired but a "good" tired. Thanking God for the Family still surrounding us: 2 Grands on the sofa, their Daddies hanging with DH and me. Casework as caught up as it will be until next week. SO many people needing help and I hope they know to contact their US Rep in Congress for help with SSA, Medicare, VA, IRS....so many ways we can help 'grease' the pipes to completion of their case.
Heading to bed a very thankful Woman of God. He always as the answer and as we read this morning from our dear Chris, "I know God that worry is not to be the calling card of my life, but rather it is thanksgiving. I want to have a thankful heart and recognize all your blessings in my life." That is my goal, every, single day...to recognize ALL OF HIS BLESSINGS in my life! They are so many and I don't want to miss any of them.
Love and God's Best to all of you...
Amen to that dear Norah! Be anxious for nothing! So happy for you and your Best Man. Enjoy the love and support of your family. Get some well deserved rest. I’m thankful for all the blessings we have received and for more victories to come. Thank You Jesus.
