A Measure of Faith for the New Year

A New Year has now come into play
Blessings from above will pour out I pray
In every word given unto me
Let it be for the Glory of God and Our Victory

May each person that reads my words
Know that Jesus dwells in my New Birth
I give praises to Him to allow me
To be a blessing for all to see

The enemy tries to defeat me with pain
But victory in My Jesus I will forever gain
The devil is a liar and deceits so many
Let me tell you my friends in this is my testimony

For many years the pain riddled my body
Many sleepless nights it stoled from me
The pain was in my back at first
Then the enemy added nerve
damage in my leg to make it worse

I wondered what on earth was going on
Because Jesus had appeared at my home
Yes while taking pictures before the leg affliction
At my umbrella so clear was a Jesus apparition

Not too long after the pain struck my leg
This drawing me to Jesus in prayer I begged
I went to numerous doctors and therapy
Even injections for the pain they gave me

None of this seemed to ease it up
Until I focused on the Father's love
All the pain could never compare
To what  My Jesus had to endure

Upon talking to a friend one day
The Holy Spirit led me to say
It wasn't an apparition  that I seen
It was meant to be an aspiration for me

Truly my days since have gotten much better
For in my pain I grew closer to my Savior
He is my deliverer from the enemy's hand
He is the faithful and true " I AM "

I learned in speaking by His Stripes I am healed
Words are seeds and expected harvest revealed
That Our heavenly Father created all things
By speaking life into it's very existence
Yes on the first day he said let there be light

This was the beginning seed in flight
You see we have the power of life and death in the tongue
Upon this revelation we can truly overcome
Oh it doesn't happen overnight,we have to retrain our brain
For to speak anything negative is like an out of control train

Nothing good can come from it
So speak out nothing but positive
I'm still in the learning process too
But one minute at a time is all we can do
For nobody is promised tomorrow
But postive talk can end days of sorrow

Father God I pray you bless us one and all
Let each one know the purpose of your call
For none of us was put here to take up space
Lead us all Lord on the path of righteousness
Filled daily with your mercy and grace
Forgiving others along the way
For any bitterness will rob us when we pray
I beseech thee in Jesus name....amen

Does the Holy Spirit guide us? Yes indeed!!
Look at this page I opened after I finished this poetry page,
right on the same lines.
I also want to dedicate this to a special reader and friend; Eldon
Which inspired me to do this page. God bless you my friend.
  
January 4 - Let the World Know

"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. ...that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me."
(John 17:20,22-23)

Dear Linda,

Over the years the Church has come up with all kinds of elaborate ways to evangelize the world. We get together and map out plans and strategies and raise money for it. But through it all, we rarely mention the plan that Jesus gave us.

Most believers don't even realize that He gave us the key to winning the world, but He did. He prayed about it right before He went to the Cross. He asked the Father to bring us into a place of such oneness with each other and with Him that the world would know that He had been sent from God.

If you and I and all the rest of the Body of Christ would get together and start loving each other, we'd evangelize the world so fast it would make your head swim. It's true. But until recently, we've been too busy scrapping with one another and getting our feelings hurt to give it much thought.

But, praise God, it's beginning to dawn on some folks now that we need to stop that stuff. We need to start treating Jesus' command that we love one another as a command instead of an alternative. We need to drop our silly arguments and be unified by the Spirit of God.

Do you want to take a step toward evangelizing the world today? Then start praying for oneness. Make up your mind that you're going to start loving your fellow believers instead of criticizing, complaining, and talking ugly about them.

Start confessing that the Church of God is going to rise up together in faith and love as one glorious Body driven by the power of Jesus Himself. We are, you know. Jesus prayed that it would happen, and the Holy Spirit is already bringing it to pass.

Satan would like to stop it, but he can't. It's far more powerful than he is--and it's going to blast a hole in his operation that's big enough to drive a train through. It's going to let the whole world know that Jesus truly is Lord!
