Mary said my soul doth magnify the Lord. Thank God for the humility of Mary. After hearing the news from Gabriel that she will bare the Lord Jesus Christ. She said behold the handmaiden of the Lord, and be it unto me according to thy Word. Mary trusted and obeyed, and John leaped for joy in the womb of Elizabeth at the sixth month. John would be the forerunner of the Lord, and would turn the hearts of the fathers unto their children. Humble thyself under the mighty hand of God, and in due time thou shall be exalted.

Father God, we thank you for your mercy, kindness, goodness, gentleness, loving and strength as your children. We give praise unto your Holy Name, and we love you Lord.

To see You everywhere.God forgive me and show me til I see no one else,til I am whole and Your Will is Living in me. Thank you,Jesus!

Psalm 27 in general is an antidote to fear and faithlessness. Verses 1-3,5,10 and 11 are of special significance to me. 1-3 give that vivid assurance to my heart that whatever is the case around is surely under control of God. Even when I have evil dreams against myself or against acquaintances, these verses portray that undaunting convinction that I can't be in trouble. For instance, I recently had a terrible nightmare, but since God's Word cannot lie, I'm rest assured that devil and his cohorts can't harm me. This is also captured in verse 5. Verses 10,11 and 12 assure me that when all misunderstand and probably forsake me, God will not only find me, but He will also guide me from the traps of the foes. This assurance should guide every beleiver and we won't be tempted to seek alternatives to solution to our problems.

Jesus was telling us to speak with God from our hearts in prayer ,thus our words in prayer[dialogue with Him however long we take will be meaningful]flowing from our hearts will be genuine

i can't comment. I have a very hard time understanding what they are trying to pass on to us.
Because of that I feel that I am not good enough to be able to hang out with Jesus when I die although i would love to be able to meet Jesus and be his friend.I feel he would be the best friend anybody could have.

Did you know that God humbles Himself to hear and answer our prayers? When we truly humble ourselves before the Lord :He humbles Himself also. Now that is Team work !!!!! Yes ! Amen !

I love you with all of me My Lord and Savior...
When we feel defeated just read Isaiah 54... What an Awesome God we serve...

I Thank the Lord for Jesus Christ : Through Him I am not longer bound to the old nature in me : God has brought me alive : I am alive to God!!!!!

God's infinite wisdowm created the heaven and the earth. He spoke everything into existence and everything He made was "good." Just look around and everywhere is the evidence of our Maker and Creator and His divine wisdom and understanding. The beautiful blue sky, the magnificent sunset and the awesome moon. God is like a magnificent painter who has created a masterpiece of perfection with the heaven and earth. There is nothing man could build without using God's resources. There is nothing man could do without the things God's hands created. Man is nothing without God.

Verse 17 being rooted and grounded in love is my desire so I am believing in his grace that no root of the enemy, namely bitterness grounded in hate will grow to fruition.

I am specially enthused by verse 1. This stems from David's attitude of praising the Lord in the midst of his plight. We need to recall that at this time, Abimelech had driven him away from the land; and David was indeed distressed. But the challenge lies in the fact that inspite of that difficulty, David was still praising God, and in short declared it as a duty to praise God at all times. Yes, the bible said that praise is comely; and of course, God gets moved when we praise Him. In moments of praise, bible passages are replete with testimonies that God comes down in His power, and difficulties are always made easy. How we need to learn to maintain the attitude of praising God, no matter the situation! My personal experience when I had ghastly motor accident made me know that God feels proud if we praise Him in the midst of challenge. May God teach us to learn to look away from our problems and look unto God, the solution, with the attitude of praise in Jesus name. No wonder God called David a man after His Heart.

Jesus had his own share of infirmities while on earth,yet he did not sin or curse his Father.l must follow his footstep when next am challenged.l must also knew that he is not ignorant of my pain, he is always there with me comforting me.

I felt as though I was in the lions den. Then I was prompted to read this Psalm and, "Oh the joy that floods my soul."

This is a wonderful scripture. Our God is a lion of the tribe of Judah; if the lion does not retreat before any, we have nothing to fear. With the shield of faith and helmet of salvation in place, we can confront any obstacle.

This Psalm is our mom's favorite Psalm. As she lies on her sick bed in ICU fighting for her life, we have read it to her many times. It soothes and calms us all. It is a blessed assurance of God's love for us in all circumstances.

This scripture is very powerful. Just explains how powerful the word of God is!

I am so grateful and thankful each day GOD blesses me to have the opportunity to praise him for so many highly favorable annointings in my life and my family life. I truly believe GOD has his hands on me.Wen I pray I always feel a since of peace, calmness, security, annointed protection, healing, love, GOD hands on me, GOD holding my hand thru anything I'm going thru, and so many other annointed feelings. My faith in GOD has kept me focused to look to him for all my needs. I learned when no one was by my side in time of need, GOD sent a message that he was there all along, all I had to do was call on him and acknowledge him for everything.Don't get me wrong we do need each other family and friends. What I learned is don't be so anxious or disappointed when people let you down, because GOD will never let you down.Keep being you in the Lord and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Even if someone hasn't supported you in the time of need support them. Because you know GOD will bless you and keep his hands on you no matter what you are going thru. Thank you Jesus. Halilujuah.

Romans 9 vs 11 was given to me in my dream after my prayers to the lord about my will to do His only will. your explanation of the scripture gave me an incling to the understanding of what the lord is saying to me. i had doubted my call but was assured through the scripture. it is not by works but my election was made before i was born. This simply means that my calling is from God for a purpose and to His glory. pls remember me always in your prayers.Thanks

Use the KJV to get the correct meaning.Help meet in Hebrew is ezer [complimentary] and neged [counterpart]. To make this work the husband has to take spiritual leadership. This entails a daily bible study/prayer time with your wife. Since this fulfills God's plan in this verse, expect great things to happen in your marriage.

In a marriage we shaould always be willing to confess our faults. Keeping things hidden only bind us to a life of lying and out of fellowship with God. This is not what God want for us. The old saying "confession is good for the soul" is really true. Only the Truth can set us free......

Thank you God for loving us. We give praise to your Holy Name.

Thank you Jesus for taking my sins and shame and carrying them for me to the cross. Thank you for opening my heart to the LORD and my eyes to the Holy Spirit. Please help me find my calling, guide me through life with your light, and give me the courage to proclaim my faith from the rooftops.
Bless the LORD oh my soul, worship his holy name!

This verse of the scripture gives great hope and assurance to all born again believers that the God we serve is faithful and has unimaginable and unfathomable plans for each of us which He will certainly bring to pass. Whatever may be your situation now, be rest assured that there are better blessings ahead both in this world and in eternity. We are not serving God in vain. Ask Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,Joseph, Joshua, Caleb, Hannah,Ruth, Job, David, Zechariah, Elizabeth, Mary and contemporary believers and they will tell you. As we continue steadfastly in loving, obeying and serving God in righteousness and holiness, we will behold the great goodness of our God and people who know us will acknowledge that we are serving a covenant keeping God in Jesus' name, Amen.

It has always worked for me. There have been times when the unknown enemies gathered against me but my Jesus fought for me. I have ben able to overcome them always.

My wife has 2nd stage Dementia and I had her, with her permission, to be anointed with oil by our pastor some months ago. I believe totally in what James 5:14 says....It is the word of God, a command to do so if one is sick. I have seen several healing miracles before my eyes and know it was from God. In faith believing, I know that God will heal my wife totally of Dementia because God cannot lie. Craig Cotton 12/2/13

Jesus was not being rude. He knew that his mother recognized the authority and power he had as the son of God. That was why he concluded that his time had not come.The next verse confirms this by the statement his mother made. "Whatever he saith unto you do it. She knew who her son was. In response to another comment or question. The bible is not a story book. It is the living word of God.Ask God for insight and revelation into his word and it will come alive for you.

In Ramah, was heard weeping and much lamentation. Rachel weeping for her children. This shows the providence of God to protect the Lord Jesus Christ from Herod, who is angry that the wise men did not report to him where the Child was. So God warned Joseph in a dream, to flee with Mary and the Child to Egypt. This fulfilled scripture which said out of Egypt have I called my Son. Just as Joseph was sent to Egypt to save Israel, the Lord Jesus was called out of Egypt to save the world. Praise God for His wise counsel, and for the wise men obeying God. For when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Wise men still seek Him today, and I pray you will too.

Every temptation last 45 seconds !!!! It is not sin to be tempted : It is sin to go with it. God has made a way of escape through His Word.

It makes me rejoice that I was created by God with a purpose. I'm not a product of evolution nor I'm here by accident but for a Devine purpose . This gives me hope and joy to know that I'm God co creator.
