NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

 

Lilka Raphael-

   "With only weeks into the New Year, resolutions have typically come and gone. The stamina required for meaningful change looms far too large and overwhelming for many. We can easily forget prospective hopes and aspirations. It takes more than willpower to hold fast and accomplish a goal.

   Athletes conquer challenges with the help of trainers and coaches, and students achieve academic success with help from teachers and tutors. But what about the rest of us? We don’t have dedicated assistance to keep us on track. Or do we?

   All the help and encouragement we need is readily accessible. Yet we must ask for it and submit it to God. He is ever willing to push us toward our best. Unfortunately, we needlessly put too much pressure on ourselves and faith in our efforts instead of asking God to help us achieve our goals. In our weakness, God provides the strength that allows us to endure. Through Christ, things that once tempted us can no longer hold us hostage.

   Lasting success always comes through God and often takes more time and effort than we imagine. But God rewards our faith. Our goals and resolutions are probably changes the Holy Spirit has prompted us to make all along: eating too much, having a negative attitude, and being undisciplined.

   Change can be daunting, but it is possible. The desire to mature, evolve, set new habits, and break old ones prepares us for our purpose. We will all change this year. Whether it is for better or worse remains to be seen. God allows us to participate and make choices concerning our lives and outcomes. Don’t obsess over failed resolutions or false starts. Instead, ask God what He wants you to do now.

   My greatest regrets are not things I’ve done but things I didn’t have enough faith to try. If the New Year sparks a desire for change, go for it. But don’t go it alone. Help is only a prayer away.

   I’m striving for a new me in the New Year. What about you?

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV

     Father God, I love and appreciate what You do for me. I choose to believe You and  Your Word. I will speak and confess Your Word until I get it in my spirit. I want to grow in my faith and to become the person you want me to be. In Jesus name I pray. Amen."

#79 Quote from Joyce Meyer's book, HOW TO AGE WITHOUT GETTING OLD 

 (pg. 11)  A.L.S.

“I’VE ALREADY HAD MY ONE-HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY, 

 AND ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED IS THIS:

 TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES.

 DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE 

 OR FEEL BAD ABOUT THE PAST.”  

1421-1425 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1421- Is. 58:2a "They seek me daily, and delight to know my ways."

1422- Ez. 13:9c "And ye shall know that I am the Lord God."

1423- Is. 12:4b "Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doing among 

          the people, make mention that his name is exalted."

1424- Daniel 7:13b "One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven."

1425- Is. 5:16 "The LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is 

          holy shall be sanctified in righteousness."

 #79 Hymn- O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee

The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL   (p. 203)

  

  Washington Gladden (so named because his great-grandfather served as George Washington's bodyguard during the Revolutionary War). He was a Congregational pastor. Christians opposed Washington's liberal theology. During a period of heavy criticism, he sat alone in his church and wrote this hymn, O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee.

Church Notes:

1)  If we're self-centered, the Spirit of the Lord will confront it.

2)  We're to be urgently intential, waiting to be clear of God's purpose.

3)  We're to awaken to God's purpose and new goals with abiding passion.

 Some encouraging words-

   Above all, let us cultivate a sensitive intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Let us listen to Him, let us talk to Him, let us consult Him in all the changing seasons of the coming days in the new year, and let us greedily receive his proffered gifts of enlightenment and grace. He will be our all-sufficiency and we will move about in the endowment of Pentecostal power.

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing Grace      Mary Southerland-  "As a child, I can still see my Sunday School teacher, Mrs. Cash, as she wrote the word “grace” on the classroom chalkboard. “What does the word “grace” mean to you?” she quietly asked. Even though the word was somewhat familiar, I had no clue what “grace” actually meant. Mrs. Cash simply smiled at my best friend, Katrina, who raised her hand to explain that “grace” was a girl’s name. Evidently, that was not the correct answer.    The pastor of that small, country church I attended often used "grace" in his sermons and many of the songs we sang at church contained "grace" in their lyrics. I had heard it and sung about it, but when it came right down to it, grace was ambiguous to me at best.    I am afraid that is the case with many of us today. If we are not personally experiencing, walking in and serving through the grace of God, our efforts  and works are futile and empty.        Mrs. Cash simply turned once again to the chalkboard and wrote this acrostic that is now inscribed in my bible and my heart:   G        God’s R        Riches A        At C        Christ’s E        Expense      All that God is — all that God has — is available to us every minute of every day. With every breath we take and every beat of our heart, His riches are ours because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross. Those infinite riches are credited to our life account, deposited there by Jesus Christ.     The supply of grace is eternal, beginning the moment we surrender to God.        God is our provider. The word “provider” comes from two Latin words,  “pro” which means “before” and “video” which means “to see”. In other  words, God will see to every need beforehand. The Good Shepherd meets  every need of every sheep, every day in every way. That’s grace.      John 10:4 "After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them,  and they follow him because they recognize his voice." (NLT)      The Shepherd is always ahead of his sheep, out in front, which means that  any attack upon the sheep has to consider him first. What peace and security  we can have knowing that God has gone before us through every valley,  across each raging river of life making the crooked paths straight, hammer- ing down every mountain before us. He knows what tomorrow holds and will  give us everything we need to face it. When we begin to understand and walk  in the truth that God monitors every circumstance, we will also begin to understand and walk in grace. In fact, we need to filter life through God’s grace.        When I (Mary) graduated from college, I worked as a summer intern for a  music and youth pastor in Grand Prairie, Texas. That summer changed the direction of my life as I experienced in a new way, the power of God working  in and through me. One Sunday morning, the pastor called me into his office  to let me know that the music and youth director with whom I worked was  being fired immediately.     I was devastated. Not only had this man and his family become precious friends, but his leaving meant that I was without a job and a church I had grown to love. In the shaky days ahead, I experienced the reality that God’s grace really does cover it all. Within weeks, God moved me to a church in Dallas where I met an extraordinary young man named Dan Southerland. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for the grace-filled trial that brought Dan and me together.                     God’s “mercy” and “loving kindness” provide all kinds of experiences. Some we call good. Some we call bad. But each one comes through a checkpoint of grace before it touches our lives, transforming us into trophies of grace. Mercy  is when God gives us what we don’t deserve. Justice is when we get what we deserve, but grace is when we get what we don’t deserve.      You may find yourself in a frightening place filled with darkness and doubt. Your fragile heart may be wondering if God even knows or cares where you are or what you need. Let me assure you - He does. Don’t think for a minute just that because you cannot see the hand of God or sense His presence, it means that He is not working. Nothing could be further from the truth.  The grace of God is always at work in our lives. You can count on it!    Let's Pray-      Father, thank You for Your grace that covers me. I cannot comprehend exactly what grace is, but I choose to accept it as Your precious gift to me. I may not always be able to hear Your voice or understand what You are doing in my life, but I praise You! Help me learn how to embrace my pain and use it for power in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen." #78 Testimony- Kathryn Kuhlman    The amazing ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman has proved the fact that the Holy Spirit intercedes, prays, pleads and goes to meet us in our desperate need. One of the leaders of the Catholic healing ministry, Father Francis McNutt, has explained that thousands of Catholics went to her meetings seeking healing and remission, and thousands of them found health.    Miss Kuhlman's large healing services were in no sense a shrine. She happened to be a woman prophetess. She did not claim to be an evangelist or a preacher. She was certainly no healer—we leave that word to the metaphysicians—but she established a ministry where Jesus was honored through the omnipresent Holy Spirit, and people from all denominations came hoping or believing they would receive healing. Doctors were present to confirm those healing.    The services were conducted in such a way as to cause people to expect the Holy Spirit to work. These healings were the sovereign work of God. 1416-1420 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted-    1416- Ps. 125:1 "They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion,            which cannot be removed, but abideth forever." 1417- Ez. 20:9b "I made myself known unto them." 1418- Is. 56:5b "I will give them an everlasting name." 1419- Is. 51:16a, c "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have            covered thee in the shadow of mine hand . . . Thou art my people." 1420- Is. 51:8b "My righteousness shall be forever and my salvation           from generation to generatiion."  #78 Hymn- There Is a Balm in Gilead  The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL      (p. 85)    The first Africans on American shores arrived in chains. Their hellish voyage aboard slave ships was only the beginning of their sorrows. The breakup of their families, the oppression of bondage, the whips and shackles, their loss of dignity . . . it all combined to kill both body and spirit.    But the souls of the slaves found release through singing. And a unique form of music evolved called the "Negro Spiritual" . . . With swaying bodies, they would stand, eyes half-closed singing ones like, "There Is a Balm in Gilead" based on Jeremiah 8:22. Church Notes:      We're to have a zeal for the work that we do, whatever it is. We're to ask, "Where do I fit in? What am I equiped to do to serve the church?       Be emotionally charged with the passion of God, removing any sin or darkness from your life. Develop a hunger for God! Serve where you are, doing it for His glory, fighting against worldly pleasures.      Do not lack in zeal, but be fervent in Spirit to serve the Lord. Be diligent, consistent and intentional to advance Christ's Kingdom. Lean into Jesus!   Some encouraging words-    Only God knows all the factors in your situation. Only He can coordinate all aspects at the most opportune time. Your part is to obey and leave the future in His Hands. Let Him be God. He will not procrastinate; God's time is always best. From God's perspective, your waiting in extended prayer, is an investment. He may be developing stronger faith through your perseverance!

WHEN IS IT UNLIKELY that YOU'LL MISS GOD'S WILL?

 

WHEN IS IT UNLIKELY that YOU'LL MISS GOD'S WILL?

Wesley L. Duewel

"It is unlikely that you will miss God's will-

1. When your will is wholly surrendered to God.
2. When you are filled and controlled by the Spirit.
3. When you walk in God's light as fully as you understand it.
4. When you are reading God's Word extensively and endeavoring to conform your life to it.
5. When you have been actively seeking to develop the mind of Christ in all your atitudes.
6. When you seek to maintain a listening ear toward God.
7. When you gladly take time waiting on God for His guidance.
8. When you are teachable and always ready to listen to or consider what mature and spiritual counselors say.
9. When you  seek to maintain a tender conscience.
10. When you keep alert to providential circumstances and open to any step of faith and obedience that God makes clear."

Let's pray-

     Father, we are learning to submit to Your Spirit's directions, to conform our lives to listen to what is Your will for us. Help us maintain a listening ear and take time to wait upon Your Spirit to make clear what Your will is. 

     May we be teachable and ready to listen to good counselors who advise us with their wisdom and experience. May we maintain a tender conscience, being willing to obey what You make clear is Your will.

     We pray this to honor Christ, and for our own good too. Amen.

#77 Testimony- Without a Scratch

   The power of Jesus' blood was vividly demonstrated one day when we were traveling in Canada. We had as passengers a young married couple whom we were bringing back to Toronto with us.

   We had told them about the wonderful truths concerning pleading the blood of Jesus. Little did we know, as we drove along in the rain, that God had a plan whereby we were going to demonstrate this truth to save our lives.

   Coming over a rise on the road, we hit some bad potholes. The back wheels, which were under coiled springs, went into a bounce. The car literally jigged and skidded to the wrong side of the road, completely out of control. 

   Before us we could see three cars approaching at about 60 M.P.H., and we were powerless to avoid a terrible crash. Immedieately we started to plead the blood of Jesus out loud.

   Our friends in the backseat, who had been sound asleep, suddenly awoke, realizing that something was wrong. It seemed that an angel of the Lord then took over. The back wheels suddenly gripped and stopped bouncing, and the car returned to the right side of the road and went off the pavement with the front wheels down in a grassy ditch.

   We thought we could possible pull out of the ditch and back onto the road. But the grass was too soft due to the rain, and we found that we were stuck. What now? We were safe, we were alive, but we were stuck.

  So God still had more to do on behalf of His servants. He had said, "Call upon me on the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me" (Psalm 50:15). So we did this, and almost immediately two men drove up in an old car. 

  We said nothing, but one of them said, "We will pull you out." They put action to their words and pulled us safely out of the ditch. We were safely delivered from death, without a scratch on our bodies or our car. Why? The blood of Jesus covered us because we put it there by faith! (pp. 72-74 of H.A. Maxwell Whyte's book, The Power of the Blood)

1411- 1415 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1411- Pro. 20:15 "There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge 

          are a precious jewel."

1412- Ecc. 9:18a "Wisdom is better than weapons of war."

1413- Luke 21:27 "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with 

          power and great glory."

1414- Jer. 6:27 "I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people."

1415- Pro. 29:22a "An angry man stirreth up strife."

 #77 Hymn-   Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus 

The information about this song,  is taken from the book by Robert J. Morgan, THEN SINGS MY SOUL (p. 211)

   How fitting that a missionary should write this hymn about faith and trust. Lousia M. R. Stead was born about 1850 in Dover, England, and became a Christian at age nine. She felt a burden to become a missionary in her teenage years.

   When she was 21 or so, she immigrated to the United States and attended a revival meeting in Urbana, Ohio. There the Lord deeply impressed her with a ringing missionary call.

   She married a man named Stead. He drowned off the coast of Long Island, saving his daughter, Lily. Shortly afterward, taking little Lily, Lousia went to South Africa as a missionary, and it was there during those days she wrote, "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus."

Inspirational notes from INTO HIS PRESENCE

Dr. Fancis J. Sizer:

  "Each person has an eternal value and worth that goes beyod whatever else is in creation.

   The sacredness of why we are here must impregnate our relationship with God, each other, and our earth.

   For our prayers to be answered by God, we must be in a proper relationship with God.

   The change to our character emerges when we spend time in the Holy Place.

   Character must be developed on the journey in order to carry the presence of the Lord's power.

   We must die to the flesh and its fallen nature of sin in order to be transformed in the power of His resurrection. The leap of faith sets our feet on a journey directed toward a relationship with God.

   It is the presence of God that makes the difference in the life of a believer."

(pp. of  INTO HIS PRESENCE, by Dr. Francis J. Sizer)

 Some encouraging words-

   "Desire for things always leads to desire for more things. Praise to God leads to faith in Him and to happiness that money can never buy. Praise leads to solutions that work. Praise leads to a way of life that builds on a firm foundation that cannot be blown over by adversity." (Merlin Carothers)

GOD WILL ANSWER

 

   Patricia Raybon- When Pastor Timothy wears his preacher collar while traveling, he often gets stopped by stangers. "Pray for me, please," people in the airport say when they see the clerical band atop his simple dark suit.

   On a recent flight, a woman knelt by his seat when she noticed him, pleading: "Are you a pastor? Would you pray for me?" And Pastor Timothy prayed. (A man with a clerical band)

   A passage in Jeremiah sheds light on why we preceive that God hears and answers prayer: God cares! He assured His beloved but sinful, exiled people, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you'" (29:11).

   God anticipated a time when they would return to Him. "Then you will call on me and come and pray to me," He said, "and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"  (vv. 12-13).

   The prophet learned this and more about prayer while confined to prison. God assured him, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" (33:3).

   Jesus also urges us to pray. "Your Father knows what you need before you ask him," He said (Matt. 6:8). So "ask," "seek," and "knock" in prayer 7:7. Every petition we make draws us closer to the One who answers.

   We don't have to be a stranger to God in prayer. He knows us and wants to hear from us. We can take our concerns to Him right now.

Let's pray-

      Father, pastors with clarical bands atop their suits are stopped to have folks pray for them.  People believe that You care and hear, as Jeremiah states in his book, (Jer. 29:11), and they want to be prayed for, for their particular situation. 

     You anticipate the times when we'll call on You, and that when we seek You, we'll find You when we seek You with all our heart. (Jer. 29: 12,13).

     You already know what we need before we ask (Matt. 6:8), so as we ask, seek and knock in prayer (7:7), we'll be drawn closer to You. We're not strangers to You if we're a believer in Jesus. We can petition through Him with what concerns us right now.

     It's in His name we pray. Amen. 

  

# 76 Words from an Unknown arthor- 

"Choose to do the next thing."

   From an old English parsonage, down by the sea

   There came in the twilight a message to me;

   Its quaint Saxon legend, deeply engraven,

   Hath, as it seems to me, teaching from Heaven.

   And on through the hours the quiet words ring

   Like a low inspiration—

   "DO THE NEXT THING."

   Time, opportunity, guidance, are given.

   Fear not tomorrows, Child of the King,

   Trust them with Jesus.

   "DO THE NEXT THING."

   Do it immediately; do it with prayer;

   Do it reliantly, casting all care;

   Do it with reverence, tracing His Hand

   Who placed it before thee with earnest command.

   Stayed on Omnipotence, safe 'neath His wing,

   Leave all resultings,

  "DO THE NEXT THING." 

    Looking to Jesus, ever serener,

   (Working or suffering) be thy demeanor,

   In His dear presence, the rest of His calm,

   The light of His coutenance be thy psalm,

   Strong in His faithfulness, praise and sing

   Then, as He beckons thee

   'DO THE NEXT THING."

 From an old English parsonage, down by the sea, given by 
Elisabeth Elliot in her book  BE STILL, MY SOUL, (pp.38, 39)

1406-1410 One-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 
 

1406- Is. 19:1 "Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come."

1407- Pro. 3:3 " Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck;

          write them upon the table of thine heart."

1408- Ez. 9:11b "I have done as thou hast commanded me."

1409- Job 34:4 "Let us choose to use judgment: let us know among ourselves 

          what is good."

1410- Ez. 33:29a "Then shall they know that I am the LORD."

 #76 Hymn- Be Not Dismayed, God Will take Care of You

 

   On a sunday in 1904, Cabilla Martin was in Lestershire, New York, where her husband, Walter, was compiling a collection of hymns for the Practical Bible Training School. They were planning to travel to another town that day, for Martin had a preaching assignment. Cabilla woke up sick, and Martin was about to cancel his plans, when their young child piped up and said:"O Daddy, you don't have to stay home because of mother— God will take care of us."

   Martin proceeded to the train station and fulfilled his appointment. When he returned, Cabilla handed him the words of "God Will Take Care of You," which she had written in his absence. Going to his little organ, Martin composed the music, and it was first published in the songbook he was compiling for the school.

Church Notes:

   Zeal for the Lord

   How we receive the Word of God, makes all the difference! Will we resist it or receive it with joy? Folks may be agitated when hearing it, as they don't want to know what God thinks about what they're doing! Their emotions kick in and cause them to react in a negative way. 

   Noble reactions are reflective of the character of the person. There's a readiness to receive God's Word. We're to keep the main thing, the main thing in our lives= studying the Word, praying the Word, memorizing and sharing the Word.

    All Scripture is God-breathed! (2 Timothy 3:16). 

 Some encouraging words-

  "Sometimes, singing praises to God is a sacrifice when we’re going through difficulties. When I don’t feel like doing it, but do it anyway, I lay my emotions, desires, and wants on the altar before Him. As my lips form the words and breath passes my vocal cords, God reminds me of the most important thing: He has saved me. When I acknowledge His salvation, the assurance comes that He delights in my praise, and I am comforted." Anita van der Elst
