Women in the Word Wednesday {Listening and Doing}


What has the Lord been teaching me this week?

I know this is late, I wanted to post this yesterday but could not. 

The one thing that stood out to me in James is my overall attitude. Attitude towards, husband, children, family and friends. Is it pleasing to God? He has shown me to:
  • Be quicker to listen, to have a better understanding of what God has for me each day. I need to listen more and react less. And also to God and my family let them know they have my full attention.
  • Slower to speak, to not jump in when someone is talking and really listen {especially to my little blessings}. Also when God speaks I tend to answer back quickly without really heeding to his voice sometimes.
  • Slower to become angry, I can be quick to get angry when something isn't going right or my way. Or when the Lord tells me something that I don't want to do. Also anger does not produce righteousness that God desires us to have.
  • Also I not only need to listen to the word and what it says but do it. Apply it to my life so that it impacts my life and those around me.
  • Also so that I won't forget what it says. They say that it takes 21 days to form a habit. When teaching my daughter our weekly memory verses we say them over and over again. Same principal I need to continuously be in the word every day. Mediating on it day and night.
  • I will be blessed if I stay in His word.
Lord thank you for all that you are showing me, and continue to show me. Father, may I not just be a hearer but more of a doer. May all that I do be pleasing to you and if there is something may you call me on it right away. Father may you use me in a mighty way. God not my will but your will be done! In the precious name of JEsus Christ..Amen!!

Walking with Jesus!

    James is an awesome book. So easy to listen, but to do is another matter entirely.

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!!!
