Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Do you remember when you were a child and your parents would discipline you with the rules of their home? Were you ever given a second chance at something even though you had messed up? Our parents set rules and disciplined us because they loved us and wanted us to learn right from wrong, and truth from lies. They had our best interest at heart.

It’s no different than God. He has given us the Bible as a blueprint for how to live our lives so that we cannot be lead astray. The Lord is like a Father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. Psalm 103:13

Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, Here comes a shower. And you are right. When the south wind blows, you say, Today will be a scorcher and it is right. You fools, you know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times. Why can’t you decide for yourself what is right? Luke 12:54-57

There will come a day when we must make our own choice as to what we BELIEVE is the TRUTH and what are lies?

Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom for many will try to enter but will fail. When the Master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, “Lord, open the door for us! But he will reply “I don’t know you or where you come from. Luke 13:24

God made a promise to help us if we ask Him. He said “ I have come down to rescue them. Exodus 3:8

We all have free WILL to make our own choices in this life so will you allow HIM to RESCUE you from something in your life you are STRUGGLING with? Perhaps an addiction, a health crisis, loneliness, forgiveness, a broken relationship or you just need to have more PEACE and JOY in your LIFE?

Friends we have been given a second chance during this lock-down to be set free. So the question we should ask ourselves is, are you free?

Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

With all that’s going on in our world who are you putting your TRUST in?

We see more people who are being DIVIDED today within the circle of LIFE. Between family members, friends and even people we don’t really even know.

There is a warning given in the Bible in 1 Thessalonians 2: 9-12 that says, This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and sign and miracles. He will use every kind of evil DECEPTION to DESTRUCTION because they REFUSE to LOVE and ACCEPT the TRUTH that would SAVE THEM. So God will cause them to be greatly deceived and they will BELIEVE these LIES. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.
Friends, it’s not what you know or what you think you know, but it’s who you know.

When we are living in FEAR it BLINDS US. Jesus is all about the TRUTH and where there is TRUTH there is REAL LOVE. Love wants things to be EXPOSED so that HEALING can take place in the lives of those who CHOOSE Him.

Such love has no fear because PERFECT LOVE expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced perfect love. 1 John 4:18
Today take a few moments to just ponder in your OWN HEART what is it that Jesus is trying to get your attention about? The TRUTH is He loves YOU more than anything in this world and wants you to FIND YOUR WAY towards the right PATH that LEADS you to EVERLASTING LIFE. He promises something this world cannot offer you and it’s UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, ACCEPTANCE and a feeling of PEACE like nothing you have ever experienced before. It’s pretty simple He is calling you to “COME TO HIM and let Him HEAL all your WOUNDS.

Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks. 

  

This a story about a woman who was sitting on her dock at her cottage reading a book, enjoying the sunshine when a gust of wind picked up her socks and blew them into the water.  She quickly jumped up WITHOUT a THOUGHT and went to grab the socks when she watched in horror as her glasses went Kur plunk into the water.  She needed them to SEE for DISTANCE and thought she had them tucked safely on her shirt or at least she thought it was SAFE.


What was she going to do now that she was blind without her glasses?  While sharing her story she said she remembered saying a quick prayer hoping that she could retrieve them somehow if it was meant to be.  Her second request was ASKING what was it she was to SEE with her SPIRITUAL eyes now that she was physically blind?


When she made a split decision it cost her something from the CONSEQUENCES of that choice.   Without thought, she was trying to SAVE a $2 pair of socks and instead lost something of greater value being around $200.


In this world, we base things on what we SEE with our physical EYES happening around us but what happens when we start to use the LENS of FAITH we start to see DIFFERENTLY.  She knew her glasses were LOST sitting at the bottom of the lake.  She KNEW they were there even though she couldn’t see them.  Sometimes we will KNOW something NOT because we actually SEE it, in the physical world but because we are given SPIRITUAL EYES to see WHAT is really LOST.


In truth sometimes what we think is a more VALUABLE lesson can also be a DECEPTION. That split decision cost this woman more in the physical world because of money but she gained PERSPECTIVES that gave her an AWAKENING SPIRITUALLY.


The truth is you have to KNOW you are LOST before you can be FOUND.  So She was very thankful for the loss of her glasses because God knows if they will one day turn up on the end of a fishing line.  That’s what HOPE is something to LOOK FORWARD to, FOR THAT DAY THEY WILL BE FOUND.


Whether it is a $2 lesson or a $200 lesson if we are TEACHABLE it may give US a REVELATION about what we NEED to CHANGE or how we may SEE the WORLD differently.  These are great lessons that bring REAL LASTING CHANGE into a person’s HEART when they accept the GIFT OF LIFE.


We are all like those lost glasses just trying to FIND OUR WAY. Always be THANKFUL for each lesson that life is trying to teach you because it means GROWTH.  Most times in life with great LOSS brings us to a great REVELATION!!!


When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying “Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep. In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!  Luke 15:6-7 


Our Spiritual CONDITION is far more important than our physical CONDITION and the REWARDS last FOREVER!!   Have a beautiful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.


Join us this coming Sunday May 23, 2021 for our Drive-In Service Revival Service.   God of Revival.  Service time is 11 am and we are located at 32 Robert Street in Thornton next to the Firehall.   Come as you are and leave CHANGED!!!


Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.
Today in our world so many people are struggling with life and all that is happening around us. Some people may not realize is we are truly in a Spiritual war between Good and Evil. You can get stuck not able to break away from Strongholds in your life that can cause illness of mind, body and spirit.

Jesus came to set people FREE from those in bondage but we have to acknowledge we need His help. The ones who want His help will OVERCOME what the enemy has taken away from them and God will make them WHOLE again.
Friends Scripture in God’s Word WARNS us of these things;
When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be very careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there. For example, never sacrifice your son or daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice fortune-telling or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits of the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord you God will drive them out ahead of you. But you must be blameless before the Lord your God. The nations you are about to displace consult sorcerers and fortune-tellers, but the Lord your God forbids you to do such things. Deuteronomy 18:9-13
The truth is many people have unknowingly experimented in these things and have unknowingly OPENED doors into their Spirit. We can’t be set free from this if we will not ASK for FORGIVENESS and TURN from these things. Our minds can take in many things that are not from God and can make our lives so much harder. Everything we read, watch on TV/Movies or experience can bring unwanted things that may bring greater confusion and less peace in our lives and into our Spirit.
Friends, we are given WARNINGS in the Bible for our own PROTECTION but it’s up to only YOU if you will listen….Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:6-9
Be encouraged if you were taken off course, Jesus LOVES you and WILL help GUIDE you onto the PATH of TRUTH. Jesus told them, “I am the way the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6 Come near to God, and God will come near to you. James 4:8 We can all give thanks that the Shepherd will leave the 100 lambs to go find that ONE LOST SOUL. If you were once lost you know how amazing it feels when you have been FOUND and if you are still LOST YOU can BE FOUND if you will only ASK!!!
Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone. Today the Thornton Food Bank is open from 1- 5 p.m. and mark your calendars for May 23, 2001, for the outdoor Revival Service at 11 a.m. Please bring your lawn chairs. Join us Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and feel free to use our free resources at newlifethornton.com

Blessings Friends. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Today more than ever before people are feeling lost. They are seeking the Way, The Truth and the meaning of Life. WHAT is the truth? WHO knows the WAY? Who is the ONE that can give them this?

We are living in a new age where this world has people teaching false things that are taking people off course by being deceived by lies. It is creating a false sense of security that leaves many eventually feeling the same way they did before they started their quest. EMPTY and DEFEATED.

When we arrive here on earth we are BORN PHYSICALLY ALIVE but arrive SPIRITUALLY DEAD. That’s what our JOURNEY is all about FINDING our way before death comes so that we may be BORN AGAIN SPIRITUALLY. To be filled and completely ALIVE!!! To look forward to the next chapter of LIFE in HEAVEN.

This world has two forces working at all times in the Spirit World and in the Physical world around us. ONE is for GOOD the other is for evil. For so many of us, the darkness got a hold of us at a very young age and we believed the lies that we heard. Perhaps it was a parent, a teacher, a friend or a complete stranger that said something that has stuck with you in your mind throughout your life. Maybe an experience you went through has scarred you so deeply you can’t see HOW anything or ANYONE could ever take you out of the muck.

Ask yourself and be brutally honest with your answer. Are you feeling heaviness, confusion, torment and loneliness? Maybe you don’t feel like you belong or you feel unaccepted as you are. Do you feel unworthy of love? Many of us have felt this way and the truth is there may be some DOORS you UNKNOWINGLY have OPENED that have invited that darkness into your life? But there is the HOPE of being set free if you will simply shut these doors and start looking forward to the good that is coming in the FUTURE for your FREEDOM.

In John 8:36 it says; So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me. 
John 10:27

If you truly love yourself you will ACCEPT this free gift into your life. There is no financial cost it is absolutely FREE because Jesus loves you that much and you didn't choose HIM, He has chosen you. If you will accept His gift He will GUIDE you, HELP you, STRENGTHEN you, and LOVE you. He will do what no one else can do in our life and work through you giving you meaning and purpose for your life.

It’s pretty simple, He says; “COME TO ME”

Have a wonderful weekend and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone. REST in that TRUTH.

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Have you ever had someone try to share the Good News of Jesus with you? Maybe you have rolled your eyes and the thought went through your head, Oh my here we go again. Why do they keep sharing?

Are you someone who has left the path of God because of disappointment, pain, tired of waiting for something to change, or the loss of a loved one who meant the world to you? Do you feel like there is no way back? Are you angry with God?

Real friends will keep SHARING because they don’t want to see LOVED ONES LEFT BEHIND when life here is gone.
 They want to know they were obedient to share because they love you that much!!!

In the Bible, there is a warning that when people will NOT LISTEN or they IGNORE what God is trying to say to them individually, He may stop tapping on your shoulder. He will allow your heart to become harden and you will NOT be able to HEAR or SEE any longer. Why would God do that? I thought He was a God who never gives up on us?

In truth, if you were trying to show love to someone for many years and they kept rejecting you would you give up? Friends this should send a MESSAGE of WARNINGS into our SOUL.

In Isaiah 6:8-13 we read this; Then I heard the Lord asking “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said “Here I am . Send me.” (9) And he said, “ Yes go, and say to this people, ‘Listen carefully but do not understand. Watch closely, but learn nothing (10) Harden the hearts of these people. Plug their ears and shut their eyes. That way they will not see with their eyes nor hear with their ears nor understand with their hearts and turn to me for healing. (11) Then I said, “Lord, how long will this go on?” He replied, “Until their towns are empty and their houses deserted, and the whole country is a wasteland; (12) until the Lord has sent everyone away, and the entire land of Israels lies deserted (13) If even a tenth - a remnant - survive it will be invaded again and burned. But as a terebinth or oak tree leaves a stump when it is cut down so Israel’s stump will be a Holy seed.

When will people actually start to listen? It will be after they have come to the END and had now where else to turn but to God. Please don’t wait too long because no one knows the DAY, HOUR or YEAR of His return.

 Instead of preparing for death in this world, we should be much more concerned about PREPARING for ETERNITY which is a much better INVESTMENT.

Friends just like this picture of the stump it may appear as if it was dead but it only takes a mustard SEED of FAITH for God to CHANGE your LIFE if you are WILLING to LISTEN, ASK for FORGIVENESS and let Him in the driver’s seat of your LIFE. He has a much better PLAN for you than you could ever make on your own because He truly LOVES YOU!!! Be Encouraged and know how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.

Have a wonderful weekend and Please join us Sunday Morning at 10:30 a.m. for a Scripture Sunday where we all share what the Lord has placed in our hearts and lift our voices in Praise of WORSHIP at all HIS AMAZING GOODNESS!!!
We are located at New Life Community Christian Church at 32 Robert Street in Thornton next to the Firehall.

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Today let us ponder this question. Are you living your life today with a sense of PEACE? With everything happening around us, many people have anything but peace!!! They are feeling as if they are sinking in an ocean of hopelessness.

The TRUTH is when we keep our Focus on what we have in this LIFE and we are GRATEFUL for everything we have, it keeps us from complaining or wishing we had MORE.

 Complaining causes the door of negativity to enter into our MINDS. We begin to DOUBT and this weakens our FAITH muscles. The temptation of wanting more becomes even greater if we are not CAREFUL to DISCERN the WARNING SIGNS.

In Genesis 3 there is a similar story where satin has an encounter with Eve and uses his CLEVERNESS of DECEPTION to place DOUBT in her MIND. That doubt was that God was holding something back from her. Even though Eve was told by God she could eat off ANY tree in the garden except this one tree, she was OKAY with what He had GIVEN her. She was truly THANKFUL for all she did HAVE and was CONTENT.

Why did things change for Eve? The enemy (satan) came along and put DOUBT in her MIND by ASKING her a QUESTION. DOUBT opened the DOORWAY to DISOBEDIENCE and led her OFF the NARROW path onto the WIDE path that was leading her to DEATH without her REALIZING it. That is how very clever a LIE can SOUND if we are not CAREFUL to LISTEN to God’s VOICE and take His guidance above all other AUTHORITIES.

Friends today some VOICES will say you need to do one thing in order to be given something that you have lost.…… be wise in all your choices that you are not being DECEIVED because of the PROMISE of something BETTER. Be content with what you have NOW because as things are taken away it’s this very manipulation that satan's will USE to get people to DO WHAT HE WANTS to be done. People just want things to return to the way they once were and will do what ever that takes.

Doubt- will make you question God and His Goodness
Discouragement - makes you look at your problem and not God
Diversion- makes the wrong things seem right and ATTRACTIVE so that you will want them more than the RIGHT things.
Defeat- makes you feel like a failure so that you don’t even try
Delay- makes you put it off so it never gets done

Friends we all need to LISTEN to God’s voice but how? If you were at a party and the music was too loud to hear the person speaking to you, you would have two choices. You either leave the room and find a QUIET place or you TURN OFF the music so you can HEAR. It is the same with Jesus we need to be QUIET in ORDER to HEAR. Don’t be like Eve making a bad choice only to realize later what you have done wrong and then try to blame others or make excuses for your choices.

Take everything to God in PRAYER, LISTEN and WAIT. He WILL reveal the TRUTH and the WAY that is best for you.

My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” Psalm 27:8
Have a beautiful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.

God is doing something NEW and it's time for the HARVEST!!!








Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Have you ever been on the receiving end of being judge by someone and it really hurt you? What if you are the person who is always pointing out another person’s flaws instead of encouraging them to do better or help them to SEE the good in themselves? When we ENCOURAGE others we are actually loaning them some COURAGE for some of the very things they may be lacking in their LIFE because they never HEARD them growing up.

This is one thing we should all ponder and answer only for ourselves. Have you allowed anything in your life to become an IDOL? Many people can’t SEE the idols in their life because they have slowly been DRIFTING AWAY into the worldly WAY.

So what things could become idols without us recognizing them? Could it be your job, chasing greater wealth, sports, your children or grandchildren, a spouse, family or a friend, recreational activities, some of many other excuses, your own pride or the worldly rules that have you left confused and you have lost your peace?

Friends each one of us makes our own CHOICES and we must be PREPARED to answer for our own decisions. God says in His word,

So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember we will all stand before the judgement seat of God. For the Scriptures say “As surely as I live, says the Lord every knee will bend to me and every tongue will confess and give Praise to God. Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. Romans 12: 10-12

May each one of us answer this QUESTION with a CLEAR CONSCIENCE that we can live with when we face our MAKER and may our lives be a reflection of how Jesus wants us to live, loving others as HE did.

Today take some time to ponder…… What DISTRACTIONS have you ALLOWED into your life that has taken you FARTHER AWAY from Christ?

Have a wonderful day and may we all take time to give thanks for all the great things we have in our lives. Always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.



Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Today as we are WATCHING many things around us unfold let us PONDER on a thought for a moment.

How can we as Christian make good decisions that we can live with that will leave a POSITIVE effect on those around us today and for the future? 

 When we know it’s time to take a STAND for TRUTH even if it means the PATH could be very difficult and maybe lonely.

In truth, we must have a clear conscience before God and that is the only ONE we should truly be thinking about. This is a HUGE matter and RESPONSIBILITY if we are living for God’s Will to be done. Some would say many churches have gone to SLEEP or are even DEAD but there is a pulse below the ground and now it is TIME for the great WAKE-UP CALL and a REVIVAL HARVEST!!!

There’s teaching not long ago that said many Christians have allowed their conscience towards God to become dull, wounded, weak and many we are even ignoring HIS NUDGES when they come. Why have so many turned from HIS TRUTH? Perhaps it’s easier to go along with what the world says but in TRUTH this will only lead to more pain and destruction.

 Friends we have lost our way at some point in our lives but God is Good and a great Shepherd who wants HIS CHILDREN to COME BACK to HIM.

Friends STOP and Ponder this thought for a moment. What if the parents of MOSES had allowed the King’s instructions to have every boy under the age of two killed. What if Moses’ mother didn’t take a stand for her baby and hide him for three months until she would safely send him down the river in a basket to be SAVED. His mother knew there was something SPECIAL about her son. Her OBEDIENCE was what she had to do in order to live in PEACE.

FOLLOWING God and His guidance and not the world’s way saved a whole nation because Moses was there to lead them out of Egypt many years later. Without the OBEDIENCE of his mom, many would have died but instead MANY LIVES were SAVED.

You may have to take a stand and be that ONE PASTOR, ONE CHURCH, ONE PERSON or ONE FAMILY that is WILLING to take a STAND and set an EXAMPLE for those around you. The TRUTH is many times God will use ONE to LEAD the WAY for others in FAITH causing a RIPPLE effect.

There will be times that we must listen to God above people in order for God’s WILL to be accomplished. The big question is this; are WE asking God to show us HIS WAY and HIS WILL?

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. James 1:5

In the end, God only wants the very best for all His Children so always remember you may have a CALLING that God is asking you to STEP UP and ALLOW HIM to USE you. When you know that you are in the WILL of God there is no better PLACE TO BE.

Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.

Today the Thornton Community Food Bank is open 1-4 p.m. and from 6-7:30 p.m. New Hours start on April 1st- 1-5 p.m.      Love in Action: Feeding Hearts, Hunger and Healing in Jesus Name.  We are located at New Life Community Christian Church at 32 Robert Street in Thornton next door to the Firehall.

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks. This story is being shared hoping it will have people STOP and PONDER on these WORDS.
A couple of years ago a STORY was SHARED by an RCMP officer who felt compelled to share his story. He did this to REVEAL how some of his choices during his career as an officer would later come back to haunt him causing him terrible depression and anxiety after he had retired.

He had no idea why he was suffering these symptoms. After he went to a physiologist to get some HELP what he would LEARN about himself would be LIFE-CHANGING taking him in a totally NEW direction for his RETIREMENT.

Why did this happen? In truth, it was because he ASKED a QUESTION wanting to know WHY this was happening to him at this particular TIME in his LIFE.

What the doctor told him was very HARD to HEAR but it set this man FREE from the health alignments it had been causing him. He was one of the officers doing his job with the orders he took from the AUTHORITIES in CONTROL of his job. In his EYES he was only doing what he was told to do in order to fulfill his performance. Many officers would later suffer the deep effects of the following instruction even though DEEP within they knew what was happening was WRONG.

This man and many others were told to take children away from their families by FORCE, to live in Residential schools away from their families. To break these children from their heritage. Many GENERATIONS would be affected by these DECISIONS made by people who were AFRAID of taking a STAND for what was TRUE and what was the RIGHT THING TO DO.

Yes taking a stand could possibly mean losing their jobs but they would have GAINED their OWN PEACE for standing for the TRUTH and their own INTEGRITY to do the RIGHT thing that their CONSCIENCE could LIVE with. MONEY and POWER will always try to take people OFF COURSE.

As it turns out he made choices in ignorance not meaning to cause harm to anyone but it would later bring him to his PURPOSE. Now this man chooses to be a PART of the SOLUTION for these Indigenous people who are trying to HEAL from the past.

Standing for TRUTH will ALWAYS COST you something but the real REWARDS will be the CHOICES you can LIVE with that help you to hold your PEACE within your deepest part of your being. Your SOUL.

Friends, asking questions is not a conspiracy but brings WISDOM leading to KNOWLEDGE so you can be DISCERNING what is going to the best decision for you as an individual. The truth always sets you free and leads you in the right direction!!!

Remember, it is a sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. James 4:17

More people will follow the wide path than taking the narrow one but you could be an EXAMPLE to someone around you who NEEDS that truth SHOWN to them. Be a LIGHT in a dark world and be ENCOURAGED all is being SEEN by the ONE ABOVE!!! The battle is not yours to fight just stay OBEDIENT and watch the VICTORY that is coming!!!

Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and you are never alone.

Today is a new day so let us give thanks.
Today we see so many things happening around us that are causing people to lose their peace. God never promised life would be easy but He does promise to be with us until the day He comes back for His church. Changes are coming and we must be ready to stay OBEDIENT to what we are being asked to do as His Children but WILL there be a cost?
Someone this week shared some words that were very profound and it was; With discernment comes division. A person who seeks to be discerning must be willing to suffer the effects of this division. It will divide not only a believer from an unbeliever, but it may even divide a discerning believer from one who is undiscerning. It will separate the mature from the immature, the naive from the prudent.
These are very strong WORDS and we should not take them too lightly. God’s moral Will is that many will be saved. To have things made right between you and Him. As you are reading this it could be you have fallen away on the wide path over time and He is calling you to COME BACK to Him. Perhaps you have never known Jesus and the LIFE He came to give you but you are feeling a small nudge on your shoulder to COME TO Him. Friends the LOVE God has for you is indescribable and He wants us all to FOLLOW the NARROW path that will lead to ETERNAL LIFE. This starts the minute you invite Him into your heart and you WILL SEE things much different.
He will feed His flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lamb in his arms holding them close to His heart. Isaiah 40:31
We are God’s handiwork and He has equipped us to contribute to His Kingdom by being a living WITNESS to the HOPE and JOY of the Life we have in Him. Be encouraged that REVERENCE to RESTORATION leads to FORGIVENESS, restoring LOVE and JOY to ALL WHO CHOSE HIM. It’s time for His FAMILY to RISE UP to YOUR CALLING!!!

Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Have you been struggling with something in your life and have become frustrated? Often times when you experience frustration many people don’t realize it’s an attack from darkness. Things may not be EASY but they are POSSIBLE when you keep your EYES on the one who RENEWS your MIND and your THOUGHTS.

If you don’t allow God to TRANSFORM your mind and thoughts you can get out of balance OPENING the door to despair.

So how do you keep your mind in a good place? We are taught in God’s WORD “You do not have because you do not ask. James 4:2

Is it really that simple? I can ask God to RENEW and REFRESH my mind with good thoughts and ASK to have a better ATTITUDE for whatever you may be facing. Whether it be a health crisis, a financial burden, a broken relationship or something special you have been given to do.

We are transformed when we ALLOW God to CHANGE the WAY we THINK and then we begin to SEE things from God’s perspective.

NEVER GIVE UP and KNOW that God will always SUPPLY everything you NEED. When you ask for Jesus to help you, He will SEND someone to ENCOURAGE you through that health struggle. To provide a BLESSING to you for a need you have, or someone will come along to become a BRIDGE between a broken relationship. To help RECONCILE and HEAL what was taken. If it’s more strength you need God will SUPPLY that too. He is the ONE to get you to the finish line.

Keep going because more than anything Jesus loves you and wants to SHOW you what happens when you TRUST HIM for every need. If you are obedient in the SMALL things God is FAITHFUL in the LARGER things. Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are not alone!!

If you don’t focus on the problem you will SEE GOD’S POWER and GLORY!!!

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

When you look at the world and SEE things that are happening around you what is your perspective or view?
Many are beginning to feel helpless and hopeless but there is a much better way to COPE. 

 If we will only take a look at it through God’s EYES and HIS PERSPECTIVE.

This is a TIME that he wants to see His believers RETURN to Him and give up the ways of the world. The world’s way says we are in the 21 Century so we need to adapt to the changes. The truth is God’s WORD will never lead you down the wrong path and His WORD never changes. It is the same yesterday, today and forever.

He is wanting to save as many people as possible and living the life He died to give you. Maybe you are reading this and you never grew up even knowing who God was. Perhaps you were hurt many years ago from a church and you gave up your faith because of people. If you left the church because of people then you may have been there for all the wrong reasons. God is the only one we are to answer to and He tells us that we are to be like him. Sharing His love to a hurting world through our actions, words and how we treat each other.

Friends, when you place your trust in Jesus your life begins to CHANGE in ways you could never IMAGINE. You begin to READ His WORD and you SEE things so differently. You have greater HOPE and begin to BELIEVE something wonderful is about to happen.

God teaches us these words to help us to stay on the narrow path that leads to LIFE!!
“But don’t just listen to God’s Word. You do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” James 1:22

Today and every day let’s OPEN our eyes each new day looking through the LENS of God’s WORD and watch your TRUST, FAITH and JOY all increase. Have a beautiful day and always remember how dearly you are loved.

If you are someone who needs a Bible please reach out to us and we would love to give you this gift.
Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

In a world that is suffering right now and so many people are feeling LOST and ALONE, what can we do as Christians to help?

Jesus taught us that we are to be a LIGHT to the world so that people would KNOW how much they are LOVED and they are NOT ALONE. Far too many individuals are hurting because they don’t feel WORTHY of LOVE. 

Perhaps some things happen long ago in their life that has a deep ROOT of the PAIN that has made them feel this way. But the TRUTH will set them FREE when they BEGIN to LEARN how much they are VALUED, that they are SPECIAL, UNIQUE and ONE of a KIND. They are CHOSEN and handcrafted by God with special GIFTS and a DIVINE CALLING.

Friends, REST in our SOULS equals PEACE in our MIND, WILL and EMOTIONS which can only come from GOD. His peace is like no other and cannot be given by this world.

Our CONNECTION with others should always leave them feeling WORTHY of God’s LOVE and ENCOURAGE them of their qualities and Character strengths. One thing is true when you sit with Jesus, You will always know you are SPECIAL and WHO you really are. You will never question His love for you because you WILL KNOW YOU ARE WORTHY!!!

HEARTS that are HUNGRY will always be given HEALING whether it be physically, emotionally, mentally or Spiritually. When God is invited into your life and your problems you will never question WHO YOU ARE. 

When you have God, you have everything you need.

After He gathered his own flock, he walked ahead of them, and they followed Him because they knew His voice. John 10:4

Have a beautiful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone.




Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Do you ever wonder why people feel lonely? There are people who would appear to have everything they need or could ever want but still have loneliness in their life. They have acquired great success or more abundance but still seem to be lacking something of true value,CONTENTMENT. For some, it may be they don’t feel they have a CONNECTION to a meaningful RELATIONSHIP in their LIFE.

Friends are meant to help one another to meet each other’s needs, to be a COMFORT so that they feel PROTECTED and LOVED. One thing that is so true that many people wouldn’t feel so alone if they came to know JESUS in an INTIMATE and PERSONAL WAY. The WORD says,

A believer is truly never alone because Jesus’ Spirit is always with us. Matthew 28:20

When we see a world that is struggling and LOST we can try to SHARE a way to help them feel better but without sharing the NEWS of JESUS they will never truly understand how VALUABLE they really are. God LOVES us and our IDENTITY changes when we know HIM PERSONALLY. We SEE ourselves as Jesus sees us. That we are worthy of HIS love, that we are SPECIAL and ONE of a kind. Too many people LISTEN to the lies of the enemy while he takes them off course believing they are not worthy to be loved. He keeps them held in bondage by shame, guilt and condemnation.

But Jesus wants so much more for His children. He wants to GIVE you the life you will truly LOVE and be truly happy while living out your PURPOSE. All you need to do is RECEIVE this free GIFT.
Friends sometimes the TRUTH is PAINFUL but God’s WORD says; 

The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in Me.      John 16:9

Could it really be that simple? To build a relationship with someone who really LOVES YOU? Those who ASK, SEEK and keep KNOCKING will find the ONLY one who can make your whole life COMPLETE!!

Have a beautiful day and always remember how much you are loved and that you are never alone!

Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.

Have you ever had a TIME in your LIFE where you felt like giving up? Perhaps in your mind, these are the words you are hearing; “What is the point of it all? Why am I even here?
Many people will begin to ask this QUESTION when their HEARTS are READY to find their PURPOSE for greater meaning for their LIFE. They WILL start to think about how they want to use their TIME, RESOURCES or the GIFTS they are blessed with.

 Everything is given for a REASON and a SEASON.

Maybe today as you read this you don’t believe anything can change in your life because you have tried to do this on your own. But what happens when we INVITE Jesus into the problem?

The truth is it is IMPOSSIBLE to do many things on our own because we truly don’t have the capability to make real LASTING change. Things may seem to get better for a short period of time but then we FALL back into the same old habits or paths. We may be able to change a few things such as our CHOICES that will lead us onto a better pathway and that’s what we should be trying to do. If you do what you can do, God will do what you cannot do.

For nothing is impossible with God. Luke 1:37

When you invite God into your problems he begins to go to work on your behalf, sometimes showing you the things you need to CHANGE. Sometimes He will direct you to someone who can help you along the way leading you to SEE Him moving in your LIFE.

The word IMPOSSIBLE has the word POSSIBLE in it for a reason. To know that you can be DELIVERED to a greater HOPE. To SEE that it really is POSSIBLE to have good things start to happen in your life.

So if you need to FORGIVE someone - know that it is possible with God, He will give you the ability to do it.

If you want to change your DIRECTION and receive HEALING in your life - Know that it is possible with God because He wants only great things for your life.

If you’re having health struggles - Know that Healing is possible with God. He will guide you and teach you how to COPE moving FORWARD.

If you want to create healthier relationships in your life- Know that it is possible with God and He will send ENCOURAGING people into your life.

Friends we all have a small shape hole in our HEARTS that only God can fill. He is the only one who COMPLETES us, being truly filled and making us whole.

I pray that from the glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you TRUST in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong and may you have the power to understand as All God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made COMPLETE with the FULLNESS of life and power that comes from God. Now all the Glory to God who is able, through His Mighty Power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all the generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:16-21

Have a wonderful week and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone!!


Blessings.  Today being Valentine’s Day I wondered how many of us have ever looked at it from God’s perspective.


Have you ever had a TIME in your LIFE when you LOST something you LOVED dearly?  Maybe some parents reading this today can totally relate to the fear and panic that settles in when you have a child who has goes missing.  Perhaps when your children were young you had an experience when they got away from you in a department store?  Maybe today you are waiting PATIENTLY to hear from a grown child wondering if they are okay?


When we lose someone we will stop at nothing to FIND them.  It becomes our only PURPOSE in LIFE. Do remember that feeling of celebration when you found them or could you imagine that feeling of JOY that comes when you know they are okay?  “We had to celebrate this happy day.  For your brother was dead and has come back to life.  He was lost, but now he is found!”  Luke 15:32.   We are those children in God’s Eyes, He is longing to find you or have you come back to Him. 


If you have been feeling a small tap on your shoulder lately don’t turn your back on Him. He just wants you to have a life you WILL LOVE that He died to give you.  So this Valentine’s day will you RECEIVE the greatest GIFT of all from the Lamb,  Jesus? 


 We know what the Bible says about Love and it’s not a one-day event but an everyday PROMISE.  These THREE things will last forever- FAITH, HOPE and LOVE- and the greatest of these is LOVE.   1 Corinthians 13:13


Have a wonderful day and always remember how dearly you are loved and that you are never alone!   May today be YOUR day!


Blessings Friend. Today is a new day so let us give thanks.
There was a powerful quote shared on Social Media “We are living in a time where satan doesn’t even hide anymore, and the world still can’t see him.
In this day and age we are in, are there any excuses not to get into the WORD of God? Maybe you can relate that there just aren’t enough hours in the day to read my Bible, pray or just sit quietly for even 10 minutes a day.
In truth, God is BLESSING us with the gift of TIME for a REASON in this SEASON. To bring us back to HIM. So can we really say we have no time while we are in a worldwide lock-down? The truth is whatever is important to you, you will always find the time to do it. So are you willing to sacrifice or fast from Social media or TV and give Jesus this PRECIOUS TIME?
Many people cannot see what is happening right around them because they are not connected to the POWER SOURCE so they cannot truly SEE. A lamp can’t give off its light unless it’s plugged into the Source. We are the same as that lamp. We need Jesus so we can give off HIS LIGHT to others. Friends this is the greatest investment of your LIFE and for your family. What we learn, we share with others and God uses everything we do to open the EYES of the blind.
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are. 1 Peter:8-9
So will you be like Mary and sit at Jesus’ feet to listen, to learn and to grow or will you be Martha running around too busy with life unable to really SEE or HEAR?

Have a wonderful day and always remember that you dearly loved and that you are never alone! May we all use our time wisely!!!

We all Harvest what we plant in our lives. 

 

Friends we have opportunities every day to make a difference in all we do. We will RECEIVE what we sow out.  So if you are sowing seeds of fear and doubt into your mind that is the experience you will have for a return HARVEST.  More torment and confusion.  If you, however, choose to sow SEEDS of LOVE and HOPE your return HARVEST will be more PEACE and JOY.
