Encouragement for the Journey ~ 2013
God shapes the world by prayer.  The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil.   E.M. Bounds

"I love the LORD, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy.  Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live."  Psalm 116:1-2

"Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.  With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies."  Psalm 60:11-12
"O our God, will You not judge them?  For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us.  We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.

He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Jerusalem!  This is what the LORD says to you:  'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army.  For the battle is not yours, but God's.
You will not have to fight this battle.  Take your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.  Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.' "
2 Chronicles 20:12,15, 17

Encouragment for the Journey ~ 2013

Reflecting His Peace . . .
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled."  John 14:27

"Reflected peace is the proof that you are right with God because you are at liberty to turn your mind to Him.  If you are not right with God, you can never turn your mind anywhere but on yourself."

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting."  Psalm 139:23-24 

"I came not to send peace, but a sword."  Matthew 10:34

"Jesus Christ came to send a sword through every peace that is not based on a personal relationship to Himself."

A personal relationship comes by believing on His name and receiving His free gift of salvation. "If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you with be saved."  Romans 10:9

Is your life a reflection of  God's peace?
