Phil 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by PRAYER & supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Rev 5:8 (ESV) When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures & the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, & golden bowls full of incense, which are the PRAYERS of the saints. Psalm 141:2 Let my PRAYER be counted as incense before you, & the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! — Our PRAYERS are as incense to God. — 2 Cor 2:15-16 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved & among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. — Never ever stop PRAYING! Fill the Bowls in Heaven so that they overflow! Love Mel

THE KINGDOM —Mark 1:15 (ESV) “The time is fulfilled, & the kingdom of God is at hand; repent & believe in the gospel.” Rom 14:17 (ESV) For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating & drinking but of righteousness, peace & joy in the Holy Spirit. 
Matt 6:33 ( ESV) Seek first the kingdom of God & His righteousness, & all these things will be added to you. —Repent, Believe, find His Righteousness & you will find Peace & Joy! — Matt 6:10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. — We find the Kingdom on earth when we choose to do His Will!And this is Heaven on earth. 
Luke 10:9 Heal the sick in it & say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Matt 12:28 if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 1 Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. Matt 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. It’s all part of His Kingdom! Luke 17:21 (KJV)Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN you. — WOW!! Love Mel

Psalm 119:105 (ESV) Your word is a lamp to my feet & a light to my path. John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 1 John 1:7 If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, & the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.  —Our darkest hour becomes light when we turn to Him with YES Lord!  For when we allow Him to become our guiding light there is NO darkness that will be able to overtake us! For 1 John 1:5 tells us that God is light & there is no darkness in Him! & 1:7 says that we are cleansed from ALL SIN! Recommend that we run to the light! Love Mel

Recipe for triumphant life! Isaiah 35:4 (ESV) Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not!”
Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come & save you. Psalm 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? 
Psalm 145:19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry & saves them. — In this world there is so much misplaced fear! We must remember fear is False Evidence Appearing Real! — Psalm 11:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! — You can be sure that there is no fear of God in this world, because it would look so different if there was! Those who fear God hate what He hates & runs from it! We must know that to fear Him is our willingness to obey Him! When He says don’t do IT! Then don’t! He knows things that we don’t & we must learn to trust Him! Our eternity depends on IT! Love Mel

STICK-TO-ITIVENESS is the quality of continuing to try hard to do something difficult: — In this world doing what our God requires is difficult! But when we come to the end of our rope & we tie our knot with Him we will find that He alone is the one that fills that void on the inside of each of us! And don’t forget what He says in Phil 4:13 “I can do all things thru Him who strengthens me. “ John 15:4 Abide in me, & I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. Matt 12:33 Make a tree good & its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad & its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. — What will you be known for? Examine your fruit making sure it is good! To abide means To endure without yielding to temptation of this world or the enemy! The key is to stay close to the savior! Love Mel
