Untitled Note

what do you do when this person is your "one flesh"? when the person with whom you've made a covenant agreement chooses not to work toward a solution, and push you away as a coping mechanism?

Untitled Note

this man's healing required his participation. DO SOMETHING! God gets tired of lazy Christians. LOL

Matthew 12:13 (NKJV)

GRACE

kind mercy

process for the promise

keep your eyes on the promise; ie "the show goes on" by lupe fiasco. Satan can't avert the promise, but he can trip you in the process. stay focused. don't be so concerned with the tests, be thankful…

More & More

And they did what God commanded

Something just occurred to me. I used to get so bored reading the Bible (Numbers? Leviticus anyone?). I wasn't exactly sure why but I knew some portions were kind of a snoozefest. Now I know why. In reading…

Exodus 39:32 (MSG)

Covered in Old Testament Blood

I was wondering where in the OT the people were covered by the Blood (other than the passover blood on the door posts). This is very comforting because it reveals to me that I have ALWAYS been covered…

Exodus 24:8 (MSG)

Have it Your Way

Isn't it funny how certain things you may pray for halfheartedly, God answers those prayers? Pharaoh had no idea that saying, "I don't ever want to see you again" would be his own death wish. Be careful…

Exodus 10:28 (MSG), Exodus 10:29 (MSG)

Genesis 30:22 (MSG)

sometimes you just gotta go. when God blesses you,…

sometimes you just gotta go. when God blesses you, not everyone is going to cheer you on. many leaders do not know how to handle a subordinate being blessed. follow the Lord straight out of dodge. :)
