2013!

IMG 0228 150x150LET US START THE YEAR 2013 OFF WITH SOME GREAT QUOTES ON PRAYER:

“PRAYER IS WHERE THE ACTION IS.” – John Wesley 

“THE GREATEST THING ANYONE CAN DO FOR GOD OR MAN IS PRAY.” – S. D. Gordon 

“PRAYER IS NOT OVERCOMING GOD’S RELUCTANCE, BUT LAYING HOLD OF HIS WILLINGNESS.” – Martin Luther

“WE HAVE TO PRAY WITH OUR EYES ON GOD, NOT ON THE DIFFICULTIES.” – Oswald Chambers  

“TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR MEN IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND PRACTICAL WAY IN WHICH WE CAN EXPRESS OUR LOVE FOR THEM .” – John Calvin

“THE PRAYER POWER HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED TO ITS FULL CAPACITY. IF WE WANT TO SEE MIGHTY WONDERS OF DIVINE POWER AND GRACE WROUGHT IN THE PLACE OF WEAKNESS, FAILURE AND DISAPPOINTMENT , LET US ANSWER GOD’S STANDING CHALLENGE, ‘CALL UNTO ME , AND I WILL ANSWER THEE, AND SHOW THEE GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS WHICH THOU KNOWEST NOT!'” – J. Hudson Taylor

Quote

“THE BEACH IS WHERE MY HEART BELONGS”

“The beach is where my heart belongs.”

That is the message on the shirt. I saw shirts with that mssage just now at The Warehouse. You find the shirts where the girlswear 8-16 is.

My message is:

MY HEART BELONGS TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

That has not always been the case. My life has two parts, ‘ONCE’ and ‘NOW’.

ONCE I WAS DARKNESS. 

The Lord has called me out of darkness.

Once I did not belong to the people of God. Once I had not received mercy.

NOW I AM LIGHT IN THE LORD.

The Lord has called me out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Now I belong to the people of God. Now I have received mercy. Now I belong to the chosen people. Now I belong to the royal priesthood. Now I belong to the holy nation.  I belong to God. PRAISE THE LORD!  

What is your message?

THE FUTURE

“As John Baillie has said:

‘The Bible indicates that the future is in God’s hands.

P10406791-300x225If it were in our hands, we would make a mass of it.

The future is not in the devil’s hands, for then he would lead us to destruction.

The future is not at the mercy of any historical determinism leading us blindly forward, for then life would be without meaning.

But the future is in the hands of One who is preparing something better than the eye hath seen, or ear heard, or has entered into the heart of man to conceive.'” – Billy Graham in UNTO THE HILLS, December 31
