My thoughts and my life

David (1Sa 17:37)   And David said, "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!" (1Sa 17:45)   Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. (1Sa 17:46)   This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, (1Sa 17:47) and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand." Message: (1Sa 17:47)   And everyone gathered here...

Samson (Jdg 15:14)   As he approached Lehi, the Philistines came to meet him, shouting in triumph. And then the Spirit of GOD came on him with great power . The ropes on his arms fell apart like flax on fire; the thongs slipped off his hands. (Jdg 15:15)   He spotted a fresh donkey jawbone, reached down and grabbed it, and with it killed the whole company.

Psalm 91 1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 This I declare of the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trust ing Him. 14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. 15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. 16 I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation." When facing your challenges remember God will answer you, He will come to your rescue and He will protect you.

Our daily battles – Fight or Flight The angel of GOD appeared to him and said, "GOD is with you, O mighty warrior!" (Judges 6 verse 12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers  over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)  For we walk by faith, not by sight. (2Co 5:7) In our daily life’s we are constantly at war with circumstances. We are always in conflict with doing right or allowing the wrong to be acceptable. It is funny how we are always trying to face these challenges in our life on our own. I would like to take you back to Gideon. Now he was an everyday man, the least in his family. And what is worse is that even after God confirmed he would be victorious, he still questioned it. A few things are important to remember when we look at Gideon: - The angel addressed him as “Mighty Warrior” when he...

The current everyday me VS the me God needs me to be We are continuously faced with the battle of who we are and who we should be. It is God's desire that you will grow in your relationship with Him to a level where praising Him is natural. I believe the answer is simple. Everything in your life is designed by God. Sometimes we don't feel this way due to bad things (interruptions) that happened. We can never understand His work or His thoughts, because we look in small pictures while God is painting on a canvass much bigger than that. And to make things worse we want God to explain Himself to us. If your life up to this stage was designed by God, placed in position by God, and you give your heart and fears to Him. You will find purpose. Purpose designed by God. You are in constant conflict with your sinful nature and what the Holy Spirit desires. Let the Holy Spirit be your Guide and grow in your relationship with God, because the closer you get to H...

Jesus gave only two rules: 1. Love the Lord your God with your whole heart, soul and mind 2. Love your neighbour as you love yourself We have been talking the last couple of weeks about our purpose in this world. Your main purpose is to glorify God in everthing you do. Our main verse this week is Psalm 121. Enjoy. I lift up my eyes to the hills- Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will not slumber; Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you The LORD is your shade at your right hand; The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; The LORD will watch over your coming and going Both now and forevermore.
