Woman's Retreat!!!

Well I am just soo totally excited for this weekends woman's retreat. WE had our woman's bible study tonight and the Lord just is totally preparing me for what He has for me and I believe for all the woman that are going.



Tonight, we watched our video of Nancy Leigh Demoss (we are studying the book of Ruth) and she talked about having a Moab in our life? And basically when Naomi and her family first went to Moab it really wasn't what the Lord had for them there, so Naomi realized that and moved back home, well first she repented and then moved back. And the question that was asked tonight was what is your Moab, what is taking your focus off of the Lord tonight? And that just really stuck with me because I haven't really pondered on that lately. And I know the Lord is going to really show that to me this weekend as I spend some quality time with Him.


Lord I want more of you, living breath of life come fill me up. Lord I need more of you living water rain down on me. I am hungry Lord, I am hungry for more of you.

I have really noticed that I've been dry so thirsty and hungry for the Lord. But yet, I hadn't really done anything about it, until now. I took the first step and got to bible study so that it could lead me to seek the Lord more. Tonight the Lord just really spoke to me about my priorities and about putting things before him. He has been revealing that to me lately and I pray that this weekend I am able to just go before Him and Repent and to be able to just go home with him and eat the manna that He has for me. And drink His water that I so desperatly need.

I ask that you would keep us woman lifted up in prayer this weekend that the Lord would just take this time to really speak to us and to minister to our hearts. That we would be able to just sit still and eat and drink Him. That we would be quit, be still and let Him minister to our hearts, to our minds to our souls. I also pray for the husbands that you would put your Holy hand upon them, give them extra ounces of strength, patience, mercy and grace and for a hedge of protection around the kids that they would have a sweet blessed time with their dads or who ever will be caring for them.

Thank you and so I will not be posting anything this weekend and possibly not until Tuesday. So God Bless and have a great weekend!!!

In His Love,
Adrienne

  1. Hi sis! You so made me cry today and you didn't even know it. I was just touched to the core by your gift. That you would take the time and put your gifts to work to create a beautiful wall hanging for me. What sent me over the edge was the scripture you used. It is my favorite verse. One that I had meditated on recently and it was like God speaking to me and wrapping his arms around me using you as His vessel. Thank you so much my sister! I am so blessed by your heart and your friendship. I am lifting you up and your family this weekend. May the devil get out of the way in Jesus name!!!!!!!

    Hugs,

    Melanie

What is the Truth?


What is the truth?
Truth is not a feeling. Truth is not an idea. The truth is found in the Bible.Sincerity and good works do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a person (Heb. 9:22; John 14:6). Sincerity and good works are merely the reliance upon what is in the individual to merit favor with God. Sincerity is a form of pride when it is appealed to as a justification for being accepted by God: "But God, look at my heart. See how sincere I was? I deserve to be in heaven."No. If sincerity and good works were good enough to satisfy God, then He wouldn't have given us the Bible to correct our sincerely wrong ideas, and He wouldn't have sent His Son to do what our good works cannot.Truth is what God says is true.The truth is important not because it is simply true. It is important because truth is what defines who and what we believe in.Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Especially about Jesus.

What me and my Family Believe

What We Believe
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be spiritual! Therefore we remain flexible so the Holy Spirit may direct our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be inspirational! Therefore we give a great place to music in our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be intelligent! Therefore, in our services, we emphasize Bible teaching so God may instruct us how He would be worshipped.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be fruitful! Therefore we look for His love in our lives as the greatest evidence that we are truly worshipping Him.

How To Know God

How to Know God

Realize that you are a sinner. No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one” (Romans 3:10 NLT). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.Repent of your sin.The Bible tells us to “repent and be converted” (Acts 3:19 NKJV). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.Receive Jesus Christ into your life.Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in...” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV).

If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will spend eternity in heaven.

The Bible tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV).

Praise the Lord, if you just asked Jesus in your heart I want you to know that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing for you and so am I. Go to http://www.calvarychapel.com/?show=Churches and click on churches to find the closest church to you and go. Go and tell them that you've just accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart. They will be able to lead you to the next step.

God Bless you Brethren.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! Amen!!!
Your sister in Christ Jesus!!!
