Strength

Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strength.
When you go through hardship
and decide not to surrender,
that is strength.

Robe of Christ's Righteousness

"...Clothed with the garments of praise and thanksgiving—the robe of Christ’s righteousness." (Help in Daily Living, p. 52).

Praise and thanksgiving = robe of Christ's righteousness?

Heavenly Perspective

I'm running
I'm trying
I'm doing all I can do to be something that I am not
Not sure of the reason why I play this silly game
The truth is without You I would fall apart
When storms come
When rain falls
I want to be in control
I give in to the voice of despair
When I fail I cry out for peace and joy
But my mind is consumed with cares
With cares

Why do I live my live my life in worry
Lord, come renew my mind
I'm blinded by the circumstance
Please open my eyes
Let me see the awesome God that stands behind
You cannot be anything but faithful
You cannot be anything but true
How I need this heavenly perspective
Take my eyes off the world so I see You
I see You, I see You

I want to be strong
Help me show that I am weak
It's not my strength the world should see
Only when my mind is rightly fixed on You can I be
A reflection of Your glory
In trials, in hard times You will be faithful always
Teach my heart to never complain
Too often, I live like the world in mind and spirit
Help me remember I'm a Child of the King
A child of the King

Why do I live my live my life in worry

Lord, come renew my mind
I'm blinded by the circumstance
Please open my eyes
Let me see the awesome God that stands behind
You cannot be anything but faithful
You cannot be anything but true
How I need this heavenly perspective
Take my eyes off the world so I see You
I see You, I see You

The Spirit is Willing

You have a thousand moments in every day of your life that you need to be rescued. From what?

We don't believe in victory anymore. 

We have more faith in the power of Satan over our life than we do in the power of Jesus Christ to deliver us in our life. 

What has happened to the church where we have faith in Satan? 

We have faith in the power of darkness? 

We have faith in the power of sin? 

What has happened to us, when we have lost the faith in the power of God?

If you are not living in the life of Jesus Christ, if you are not abiding in the light of holiness,

then you are living a false existence under the banner of all these things that are true.

Our world is wanting to flush Christianity down the toilet because of this very thing...
