out of our mouths

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

James 3:9-10 NIV

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

This was a slap in the face kinda verse for me this morning!

How is it we can up lift those when they need encouragement, but bring them down when they don’t act or do the things we think they should. How can bring such hurt?!

Let us try to control this mouth of ours, and uplift more than we curse!

Be a blessing today!

God Bless!

Congratulations…my love

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

I don’t normally talk about myself or my daughter, but I must give her
honor.

A special day hit our house on May 24th. My Raegan graduated from kindergarten! I have been one proud momma!!

It tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1
To every thing there is a season, a time to every purpose under the heavens.
I give her honor for the hard work she has done and I couldn’t be more proud! This is the season for completing of another school year!

I know this isn’t my usual post, but I just had to share.

God Bless you and your graduates, no matter what the grade!
Amanda

Look out first grade here we come!

all things are possible

Posted on May 31, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

Jesus looked at them and said,”With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God”-Mark 10:27 NIV

I love this scripture. It reminds me that nothing is impossible with God. He can do ALL things. sometimes our “faithwalk” gets dim. We get tired, and feel that the mountains just won’t move no matter how much we pray and believe. Just keep believing and holding on to His unfailing hand. Remember nothing is to big for Him. He will move!

If you are facing something, and you just don’t think you make the “cut” or you don’t think that you are able to do the task, job, or whatever it be, remember you can “face the giants” knowing nothing is to big for our God!! There are days when man comes along and knocks you off your feet or your path, saying you aren’t good enough, or you can’t do this or that. Remember that you can not please man, but remember where your faith lies. It lies in the hands of the ONE who is and who can!

God is stronger than superman!

I have taken a much-needed break from blogging. I needed to spend some time searching my soul and spending time with my daughter. I have been given a new direction in my life and I am excited to share and start it. I hope you all have been well, and know I haven’t forgotten, I just needed to step back and reevaluate what I hold most dear. Thank you all for the prayers, and I have missed you all and prayed for you too!

God Bless and have a wonderful day!
Amanda

a clean heart

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

A heart longing to change gets God attention.

When David cried out to Him to change his heart, God’s Spirit was already there, pouring out grace and mercy.

Come to Him when you are in need of a clean heart. Don’t be discouraged or embarrassed – He will not condemn you. Simply ask for His forgiveness and give Him all the sinful and ugly things that have stained your soul. and when you do, He will wash you clean and give you a fresh start. God has the ability to wash us all anew!

Whatever you have done in your lives, God can help you. Offer Him your sin and shame and let Him cleanse you.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit from me-Psalms 51:10

YOU can do all things

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

Have you ever felt like you couldn’t do something? Felt like you wouldn’t make it through a trial or a test? Maybe it was a test of patience, or maybe a school assignment. I’ve felt like that many times. I’m actually going through it now, my own test of patience.

But I have an answer for all that down heartedness! We CAN!

For the Bible tells us, I can do All things through Christ which strengthens me~ Philippians 4:13.

So I want to encourage you today to know that you can make it, you can face it, that crowd, that test, that assignment, whatever it is, we will get our strength, from the one who bore it all for you and me!

Have a blessed day!
Amanda

pour out

Posted on April 14, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

The woman broke her jar and poured out all of her perfume. She lavishly wasted everything that was of value to her. Breaking her jar effectively eliminated any chance of keeping any for her own use, then or later. She gave everything she had-past, present, and future-to Him. Jesus said that people would remember her remarkable love forever.

Then at the last supper, those same words appeared again. He broke His body and poured out His blood for us. He was beckoning us to do what He did: be broken and poured out. Go all in. Hold nothing in reserve. Completely relinquish control. That’s what truly commemorate what Jesus did. Not cherishing a ritual, but being a memorial.

I ask you, are you giving Him all you have today our just saving Him for a certain occasion or problem. God doesn’t want you to just come when you have problems, He wants you to come to Him everyday. Just like the woman who anointed Jesus’s feet, we can touch Him. Pour out your life to Him and surrender all! That’s why Jesus died. He came to pour out His life for us .

What should “broken and poured out” look like in your life?

…are you washed?

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

Acts 2:38 KJV

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

I love this verse. Peter was such a rock for the Lord. Could you imagine the day of Pentecost? What a celebration to see! He was right when he said this. If we just come to the Lord, ask for forgiveness and be washed by the blood of Jesus, then we receive the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost is our guide, comforter, a teacher. If we let it, our will guide our footsteps and help us to lead our lives for God! The Holy Ghost will transform your very soul and spirit if you allow!

So as the song that I grew up with goes, what can wash away my sins…nothing but the blood of Jesus!

do you smell sweet?

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Enchantments of Faith

Ephesians 5:1~2

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Let us put on love today. Let us walk and act as Christ did. Let us offer ourselves to God and sacrifice our flesh to become more like Christ.  Let the love of God overfill you each and every day. Our sacrifices becomes a sweet smell to our Lord.

So I ask you….do you smell sweet?

I hope and pray you all had a wonderful Christ Resurrection Day. I took the week off from posting to humble myself and become closer to God. I wanted to get as close to the Lord as I could during remembering what Jesus went through that week! Praise God! For Jesus is Alive!

Have a Blessed Day,
Amanda
