Being a Woman of Faith

Posted on September 6, 2014 by Janan

After attending the Women of Faith Conference this weekend, I came away with such good information to apply to my life.

I am loved!!! You are loved!!!!

I need to forgive!!! You need to forgive!!! Forgiveness sets us free.

I need to be about God’s business, growing, changing, advancing, going where He is going!

I will define myself by what I find in God’s word, not by anything the world tries to put on me.

The enemy, the devil, comes to steal, kill and destroy but just because he comes doesn’t mean I have let him to steal, kill or destroy anything in my life!!

Quote from Christine Caine, “The devil on his best day didn’t take me out on my worst day!”

Philippians 4:13: I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength.

Matthew West sang about Forgiveness and being A Child of the One True King! Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!!!

Loving the Lord with our Whole Heart

Posted on June 14, 2014 by Janan

Just how do we love the Lord with our whole heart? The bible says we are to do this, and yet the cares of the world tug and pull on our hearts all the time. Spouses, children, parents, close friends, all draw from the love in our hearts. How do we give enough love to all those we care about and still love the Lord with our Whole Heart?

The Amplified bible says it this way in Mark 12:30, “And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment.”

Then the next verse commands us to love our neighbor as ourself. So how much love can we give out of this whole heart of ours and still give it all to God?

Well, I’d like to think about this as stated in the Amplified version, “out of and with.” So we love “out of” our heart, and we love “with” our heart. The bible says that God is love, and when Jesus saves us and sends His Holy Spirit to live within us, His love then becomes part of us. This then enables us to have enough love to share “out of and with” our hearts, our souls, our minds. What a mystery and a miracle! Thank you Jesus!

Anyone care to share any additional thoughts or insights?

Thought for your day

If you are a Christian, one who follows Christ, remember that you are living your life for the approval of just One.

I Timothy 3:16

Posted on February 19, 2014 by Janan writes for Him

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

Friendship

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Janan writes for Him

A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

And makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

There is a miracle called friendship, that dwells in the heart. You do not know how it happens or when it gets its start.

But you know the special lift it always brings. You realize that friendship is the world’s most precious gift!

When God is at the Center, Marriage Works!

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Janan

Listening to a pastor at a recent wedding gave me the title of this blog post. As everyone wished the bride and groom love and happiness as they said their marriage vows, I got to thinking how we must put God at the center of our marriage in order to truly have love and happiness. Without God at the center, love can grow cold and life circumstances can rob us of our happiness. With God at the center, we can have joy in the midst of any and all circumstances, and since God is love, love will always abound in our hearts toward one another when we keep our focus on Him.

Please share how you keep God at the center of your marriage. Would love to hear your comments!

“It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.

How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders!
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;
his dominion endures from generation to generation.”
~ Daniel 4:2-3

Merry Christmas!

Seems it’s been awhile since I posted anything. I seem to get lots of ideas but never when I am able to write them on this blog! LOL So, here it is almost the end of 2013 with Christmas upon us. As I type this, I am sitting near my beautifully decorated Christmas tree and my wonderful ceramic nativity scene my mom and I made many years ago. To me, these two things make my Christmas complete, and are the main decorating I’ve done this year. Keeping life simple with only the important things this Christmas.

Jesus is the Reason for the Season. He truly is the greatest gift!

Merry Christmas one and all! Have a blessed New Year too!
