FEAR is a Very Costly Emotion

Proverbs 29:25 “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” King James Version (KJV)

It is said that FEAR is the most powerful and destructive of the demonic forces. Have you noticed in your life how many times you did not do something because you were afraid of the consequences? Or how many times you did do something stupid (to hide your mistake) after having done something stupid, also because you were afraid of the consequences? I am sure that almost everyone is guilty of one or both of these errors in their lives. In both cases it is the fear of man that that prevents you from moving into your destiny, or the fear of man that prevents you from following God’s plan. Sometimes the consequences are minimal, but sometimes they last a lifetime. Remember to follow God and do it His way – and leave all the results to Him. If you are in a hole, stop digging. The way out – is UP.

Living God’s Way Brings Blessings!

Psalm 1:1-3 (KJV) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; & in his law doth he meditate day & night. & he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; & whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. — When we choose our Gods ways over mans ways we will find His blessings! We must always remember that mans so called blessings are always shallow & unfulfilling, but the blessings that come from God are eternal. Choose God! Love Mel

Fear Not

John 14:29 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. — When we are willing to trust Jesus, we find peace! Always remember that fear is from the enemy! With Jesus, we can overcome our fears. —Remember yesterday’s scripture Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. And don’t forget, 2 Tim 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love & sound mind. —Always remembering, 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. — So let’s get rid of all fear & remember He is always with us! For God is LOVE! Love Mel

The Importance of Passover!

Every year God begins His prophetic cycle anew. It starts in the spring with Passover. Passover is a three in one celebration consisting of Passover, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the Feast of First Fruits. It goes into summer with Pentecost which is a solo feast, and it ends in the fall with Tabernacles. Tabernacles is a three in one feast also consisting of the Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement and finally the Feast of Tabernacles. The Bible tells us that Gods new year starts at Passover – the 14th day of the “first month.” And doesn’t it it really feel like a new year after we celebrate Passover and the resurrection? The year feels fresh as we receive the promised blessings of this time of year and we prepare to embark upon what God has for us in this new year and cycle. Passover is also the celebration of the barley harvest in Israel. It is the celebration of the death angel passing over the Israelites and it is the celebration of Jesus’ sacrifice as our Passover lamb. It is a time of redemption and entering into the family of God. As we again begin our annual journey as redeemed persons, let us be willing to share the blessings of belonging to the family of God – with others.

He Has Conquered Death, Hell, and The Grave for Us

2 Cor 1:9-10 Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, & He will deliver us. In Him we have placed our hope that He will yet again deliver us. — Whether we know it or not, we are in such a state that we can not recover – that is – without Him. He is the answer to our delivery from our permanent demise. There is a death sentence on our life. But He has set us free from the final blow of the enemy! His death led to His resurrection, which conquered death and opened the door to us! Rejoice! Love Mel
