Facing difficult times?

If you or you love ones are facing difficult times, speak out the Word of God with child-like faith. It will change the spiritual atmosphere around you. it will also reveal to you the presence of our Loving God.

Psalm 116:1-9 (NLT)
1 I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. 2 Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! 3 Death wrapped its
ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “Please, LORD, save me!”
5 How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! 6 The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. 7 Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. 8 He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth!

Prayer inspiration.

Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance.
It is laying hold of God's willingness.
George Mueller

I Love this Quote.
It is the essence of a new way of praying and viewing God.

When you pray do you go to change God's mind
or to open your mind to the good things
your Heavenly Father has for you?
Go to God.
He has some great things to give you.
Spend time with Him.
Find out what they are.

Be blessed - real good - by a good God

Brightening up your life

The street light across from our home "blew" and left our street in total darkness. It was gloomy out there in our front yard. Thinking that the power company would not quickly send out crew out to repair just one light bulb, we drove around the local streets at night noting the pole numbers of other burnt out lights. Within 2 hours we found 25. Many had not been working for some time. People were prepared to live in the darkness.

Well the lights are all back on now. What a wonderful difference it has made. Down the road a park had become the haunt of vandals and teenage trouble makers .Lighting up the area moved them on to the relief of those who lived close by. Street intersections are now safer.

We are surprised just how much.difference re-lighting the streets has made.

What are the dark areas of your life, your family? What about your job or business? Never be satisfied living in the dark. Invite the light of Jesus into your life. The darkness will flee.

Blessings are falling around you............Bob Lipsys

The Never-Ceasing, All-Consuming, Darkness-Dominating Light of G o d

by John Paul Jackson http://www.streamsministries.com

The presence of God is like striking a match in a windowless room. It doesn’t matter how much darkness is trapped within those walls; the second that match is lit, its light pierces the shadows and brushes them aside.

This happens each and every time, because it is physically impossible for anything else to happen. Light will always penetrate darkness the way an icicle will always melt in the middle of an active volcano. It is a rule.

It is the same way in the spiritual realm. When the light of God shows up, it literally shows up, and the darkness flees before it. It must, because that’s what darkness does when light comes. Simple. Keep that in mind when God asks you to carry His light into territory that you don’t feel comfortable in. Keep it in mind when God begins to bring witches and soothsayers across your path — the light within you is greater than the darkness within them. And keep it in mind when it comes to praying for your unsaved family members and neighbours and the random people God puts on your heart. …

… A life-changing truth is this: We carry the light of God, and no matter where we are. When that light is carried into darkness, the darkness will flee, just like striking a match in a windowless room.
