Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
Rick Costa Thus says the LORD, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest?
Never try to box God into a mold of your expectations. He is GOD. He will do what He wants to do when He wants to do it and His creation isn’t going to boss Him around.
Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks.
Worrying is an act of the sinful flesh. God wants us to waste no time doing that. Instead take that same time and energy and pray to Him that He will have His way and strengthen you in all you go through knowing with a grateful heart that He will.
Those who say that they live in Him must live the same way He lived.
You want to know how you should live your life? Jesus is our example. And remember that He said we would do greater works than He did.
We have been set apart as holy because Jesus Christ did what God wanted Him to do by sacrificing His body once and for all.
– Hebrews 10:10 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Every sin we have commited has been taken care of by Jesus’ Blood on the cross. No more sacrifice is required and to imply any differently would insult the work that He did for us.
As a result, no one can brag in God’s presence.
– 1 Corinthians 1:29 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
In the fullness of God’s presence we realize how helpless we truly are without Him.
As long as he dedicated his life to serving the LORD, the LORD gave him success.
– 2 Chronicles 26:5b (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
When you put God’s business first He will prosper you.
But God is faithful, Who will strengthen and keep you from evil.
– 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (Douay-Rheims Bible)
It doesn’t matter how many schemes the enemy plans to use against you…if you stay under God’s protection you will be able to withstand them all.
Then Jesus said to them, “So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News.
– Mark 16:15 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
We are to cover this planet with the knowledge of Jesus and His Kingdom.
“When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came to these people. This was the same thing that happened to us in the beginning. I remembered that the Lord had said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.’ When they believed, God gave them the same gift that He gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So who was I to interfere with God?”
God doesn’t need to wait for your approval to move.
The LORD will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O LORD, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
– Psalm 138:8 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))
God didn’t create you because He was bored. You are here for a reason. In Him you will find your true purpose in this life.
