USE WORDS ONLY WHEN NECESSARY

Posted on by

At All Times Preach the Gospel if Needed Use Words:

Being a missionary to a foreign country, where I do not speak the language very well, this came in useful and how much more in the United States, where I do speak the language!

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Matt.5;14

Lamps do not talk, but they do shine. A lighthouse sounds no drum, it beats no gong; and yet far over the waters its friendly spark is seen by the mariner. So let your actions shine out your religion. Let the main sermon of your life be illustrated by all your conduct.—Charles Spurgeon.

 

Need Help in Overcoming FEAR?

Posted on by

As I sit here today planning and WORRY about my returning to Guatemala on Christmas Day. The fear of the future started grabbing at my heart. I turned to prayer and God gave me this from the “God Calling” book.  I do believe Jesus spoke to these ladies. This book has ministered to me for years in this same manner. It never fails, when I am faced with something overwhelming, I turn to the Bible and this book and I  always find my answer. May this devotional encourage you today!

Perfect Love

Our Lord, give us that Perfect Love of Thee that casts out all fear.

Never let yourselves fear anybody or anything. No fear of My failing you. No fear that your faith will fail you. No fear of poverty or loneliness. No fear of not knowing the way. No fear of others. No fear of their misunderstanding.

But, My children, this absolute casting out of fear is the result of a Perfect Love, a perfect Love of Me and My Father. Speak to Me about everything. Listen to Me at all times. Feel My tender nearness, substituting at once some thought of Me for the fear.

The powers of evil watch you as a besieging force would watch a guarded city — the object being always to find some weak spot, attack that, and so gain an entrance. So evil lurks around you, and seeks to surprise you in some fear.

The fear may have been but a small one, but it affords evil a weak spot of attack and entrance, and then in some rushing despondency, doubt of Me, and so many other sins. Pray, My beloved children, for that Perfect Love of Me that indeed casts out all fear.- Jesus

Are You In A Spiritual Wilderness?

Posted on by

Do you feel like you are in a spiritual wilderness or not sure where to turn or what to do?  This  devotional blessed me:

O Lord God, Thou knowest! Ezek. xxxvii. 3. Here is the response of faith. “Thou knowest!”—what a pillow for the heart to repose upon! “Thou knowest!”—what few but comprehensive words to sum up and express the heart’s difficulties and perplexities and trials. “Thou knowest!”—what an inexpressibly sweet resting-place in the midst of life’s tumultuous heavings; in the midst of a sea that knows no calm; in the midst of a scene in which tossings to and fro are the hourly history! What an answer they contain for every heart that can find no words to express its big emotions; for a heart whose sorrows are too deep for language to find its way to God! Oh, that they were ever uppermost in the soul, as the response to every difficulty in our path! They are God’s answer to everything we cannot fathom; God’s answer for our hearts to rest upon, and our lips to utter, when every way is hedged up so that we cannot pass. “O Lord God, thou knowest!” Rest here, believer. Lean thy soul on these words. Repose calmly on the bosom of thy God, and carry them with thee into every scene of life. “O Lord God, thou knowest.”—F. Whitfield.

The Word of Faith Prayer

Posted on by

A Prayer and Confession of Faith,  

The Lords is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

The Lord is my light and my salvation, who shall I fear. 

The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid. 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and He shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory.

He also forgives all my iniquities and heals all my DISEASES.

He redeems my life from destruction. 

He will satisfies my mouth with good things. 

He will never leaves me or forsakes me. 

My job is to believe and God will perform His Word in my life. 

But we who seek the Lord, shall not lack any good thing. 

 For He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

and I with all the saints will be able to comprehend what is the width and length and the depth and height, to know the Love of Christ which passes knowledge; that I may be filled with all the fullness of God. 

The Bible declares; let the weak say I am strong. 

We now thank God who always leads me to triumph in Christ, because with men this is impossible, 

but with God all things are possible in my life, as I serve God with all of my heart and  life. 

The Lord declares; I will never leave you or forsake you, so we boldly say, The Lord is my helper,

I will not fear what man can do to me! 

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro through the whole earth to show Himself strong on the behalf of those who are loyal to Him. 

So I humble myself under the mighty power of God and in His good time He will honor me. 

So I can boldly say; I give all my worries and cares to God, for He cares what happens to me. 

Amen!     

Written by Dennis W Stauffer Jr through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God through out the years of serving him.
