Journaling

I (Nina) was reading through my journal this morning; some of the first entries I had written in my (then) new journal I got for Christmas from my dear husband. The year was 2002.

At the top of the journal page is this scripture, "I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me." Proverbs 8:17

Dated, April 28, 2002 (and I quote)

     "(I do not set aside the grace of God.) We went to church early for prayer time. I developed a stomachache and it seemed to be getting worse. I had thoughts (the devil) of going to the car or just sitting in the bathroom, but I said 'No, I'm going to pray.' The Lord told me, "I am holy and that is all that matters right now."

I thought of the angels in heaven crying, 'Holy, holy holy.' The Lord gave me a song about His holiness. As I was singing it...my stomachache was totally gone. I related God's holiness to a consuming fire. He burns away all that is 'self,' if we allow Him to.  Sickness is part of 'self.'

As I focused on Him and His holiness - He was able to consume the sacrifice. I am reading a book called, "Forever Triumphant." by F.W. Huegel. Revelation is coming. Give me a deeper revelation, Lord, of "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." Amen!"

I don't normally share my personal journal thoughts/entries, but I felt in this case, it was important. Someone needed to hear this. And probably more than a few 'someones.'

                               Blessings on your life in this new year!

Happy New Year All! 2019

We pray that each one reading this would enjoy a most happy (blessed) and prosperous 2019! 

As believers, we all have a part to play. We need to stop "playing around." We need to "take our place" in the body of Christ. What a privilege to be called a child of God, the most high God! We are His family! He needs us (and is requiring us) to work in partnership with Him. You may not believe that, but it's true. And speaking of that....

We can't think of anything better to share with you on this 5th day of the New Year, than what we are about to share with you. The following link contains the prophecy that the Lord gave to Kenneth Copeland on New Year's Eve-12/31/2018.  It resonates with our spirit and we hope it will with yours as well, as you watch and/or read the content.  So, here it is...please take it to heart.

Kenneth Copeland Prophecy for 2019

God is our refuge and strength, 

A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though its waters roar and be troubled, 

Though the mountains shake with its swelling.  Selah

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, 

The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High, 

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;

God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;

He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,

Who has made desolations in the earth.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah

Psalm 46
