Freedom Service

This past weekend was my church’s Freedom Service. We have this service once a year at Cove Lake Park. We celebrate the freedom found in God. We have singing, preaching, Motions of Grace performs (our church’s drama team) and then serve up some yummy good food after God has led the way!

This year, we focused on God not being dead, but He’s alive. As the song goes…He’s living on the inside roaring like a lion!

We had some special guests with us this year. The Word of God Ministries Church was with us, preaching and singing and just joining in on the fellowship. The message was about being still and hearing, listening to God’s voice….

Won’t you be still and hear the lion roar?

Have a wonderful blessed day!

we will bow

Romans 14:11 KJV

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

What an honor it will be to bow before the King of Kings. The Author and Finisher of our faith. Our Creator….our God!

this is love

1 John 4:9 NIV

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

As I read this, I thought about how many of us would actually send our children to die for someone..I know as a mother, I couldn’t or wouldn’t for that matter.

We are so blessed that God loves us enough to send His only son, to die for a world that was lost….to die for you and for me so we can be saved. To have Him live in us and to live with Him, when He calls us home.

Praise be to our Savior! Oh how He loves us!

Now that’s love!

Have a wonderful blessed love~ filled weekend.

all things are possible

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!

a clean heart

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

do you smell sweet?

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

He knows you…

O Lord,
You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thoughts afar off.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me,O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Psalm 139:1~2,17~18

I’m in a praising mood today. With it being close to Easter, I can’t help but think of all that Jesus endured and just how much He loved us.

I’ve drifted away and let my thoughts just center on the absolute love of God and just to know His thoughts toward us are more than grains of sand. We are so important that He understands our thoughts and knows the exact moment we rise and sleep.

I’ve looked all my life for a love like this and to of found it, is more than I can say!

Be swept away today by God…let it be just you and Him today!

walk boldly into GRACE

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.~ Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)

If it wasn’t for God’s grace I know that I would not be here. It it wasn’t for His grace, I know that I wouldn’t receive the help that He gives me. I wasn’t worth laying at His feet, but through His son, Jesus, He made me worthy. He made me new and through Him I am able to come boldly to His feet and ask for wisdom, ask for help, and for the answers to my questions. His grace has given me more than I could ever ask for.

Let us today walk boldly before the Lord and experience His grace.

Grace….such a beautiful thing!

Thank you my God and my Savior!

Be Blessed!

we have a Fighter

Have you ever wanted someone to stand beside you? Someone to fight for you? Someone to run too? Maybe a warrior or a soldier? Maybe it’s someone simple, like your parents, best friends, or even your spouse. I have wanted that myself. Though I am a single parent, and I wish to be married again someday, I have found that I have someone greater than anyone I could wish for or run too.

He has known me even before I was born and has been waiting on me to run to him, I just didn’t know it at the time. When I rededicated my life back to God a few years ago, I was hit with a lot of things. The devil tried to bring me down and tell me I would never matter, but I came across a scripture that shows me that I have a warrior that is ready to fight for me and all I have to do is hold my peace! Praise The Lord!!

Just as He fought for the children of Israel, He will fight for you and for me. He is the same fighter, the same warrior, the same commander, and the same God as He was so many years ago. When the enemy is attacking with his tricks and sly remarks, remember and hold to this, that you have a commander that will fight for you. All we have to do is let Him and give Him us.

The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.~ Exodus 14:14 (KJV)

Remember today that you have a fighter that will defend you from the enemy. That all you have to do is stay at peace. Remain in Him and His Word, His peace, His love and He will fight for you! Let Him conquer those traps, let Him break down those walls, let Him ease those doubts!

we have a FIGHTER!

Be Blessed Today!

do you have Faith?

The Bible makes a pretty bold statement when it says this:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and he is a rewarded of them that diligently seek him~ Hebrews 11:6

So I asked myself that same question..” Do I have faith?”….answer is YES!

I know its so hard to have faith on something that we don’t see or find it hard to believe, but we believe and see with our spirit, our heart. God is all around us and without Him, it really is impossible to do anything. I have found this out the hard way. Life without Him has no direction and will lead to destruction. Yet, with our faith comes growth and strongness, and God will reward those that continually seek after Him!

So I ask you today…Do you have Faith?
