The Spirit Of Being Thankful!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! One of my favorite scriptures is "Enter into his gates with Thanksgiving and into his courts with Praise"! I can just envision skipping in through his gates and singing his praises! God is so wonderful! Words cannot describe how glorious he is! Thankful denotes a spirit of being glad and happy about receiving a benefit. We benefit from being able to breathe each day. We benefit from clothes, shoes, warm homes, warm food, warm water, the list could go on and on. We have so much to be thankful for today! Today is the day to begin expressing our gladness for our benefits that God provides! Let that gladness spill over to everyone we meet! Let our thanksgiving be a covering that saturates everyone around us. May today and each day bring you so much joy in your heart that you continue to feel blessed and want to reach out to others. Happy Thanksgiving!


Psa 100:4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, [And] into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, [and] bless His name.
Col 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful

Let Us Be Thankful!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! This Thanksgiving, let there be songs and lots of joy! Let us spread good cheer. Let us be Thankful for all of God's wonderful blessings! Let us reach out to someone and help them. Let us give hugs freely and let everyone know of God's love! Pray blessings on everyone you come in contact with. Say extra prayers of Thanksgiving for this wonderful Holiday season! God is good! When we think more of others and less of ourselves, we get more from others and less from ourselves. May the joy of the Lord rest on each and every one of you and may his blessings rain from the sky. --
Jer 30:19
There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people and make of them a great and honored nation.

It's All About Being Thankful!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Almost Thanksgiving! I will not be sending out Christian Peeps on Thursday or Friday. I will be spending quality time with my family!

This whole week is dedicated to Thanksgiving! In the Bible when you brought a sacrifice of Thanksgiving to God there was a certain way to present it. There were several things you needed to make sure you had in order to present the sacrifice properly. We don't have to be so rituallistic today...but we still need to present our Thanksgiving to God with a right spirit. Remember this week all the things we need to be Thankful for! We are not only a blessed nation, but a blessed people! We are rich in so many things. Lets spread Thankfulness wherever we go this week. Have a Thankful and Grateful heart! Be Blessed in Thanksgiving!--
Psa 95:2
Let us come before him with thanksgiving. Let us sing him psalms of praise.

God Is Our Rescuer!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! I love snow days as much as my kids! :)
God is our rescuer. There may have been many times in our lives that we were rescued without even knowing it. Suppose there were times when we should have gotten jobs we didn't get or promotions that we didn't get or maybe a record deal we didn't get. Those were times that God prevented us from going in the wrong directions. We have heard that song, "Thank God For Unanswered Prayers", well, it's the truth. Think back to prayers you may have prayed for or wishes that you may have wished for, but now you realize had they come true your life would not be what it is. That was God coming in on time to rescue us once again. The Bible says, "all things work to the good of those who love the Lord". So he wants us to live and walk in the good things....so the next time you get passed over or have to go around the long way......remember, God is just watching out for us and rescueing us from things we cannot see! Be Blessed and safe in God's arms!
Rom 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose.

Climb Up That Mountain!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is miraculous! Have you ever climbed a mountain or a really big hill? If you hadn't done it much it was quite the challenge. Huffing and puffing all the way. Telling yourself that if you could just reach the top you would see such beauty and experience such peace. That is what kept you going all the way to the top...that image of the beautiful scenery! Sometimes our lives feel like we are constantly walking uphill. Steady climbing never quite reaching the top. Giving up before we can make it. Today, you can make it. You can reach the top and experience that serene beauty and peace. Just keep your eye on the prize and no matter what...don't give up. Even if you have to stop and rest and take a breather....do it.....and know that God is right beside you cheering you on. Then once you have gathered your strength...stand up....lift your head and began again...and keep climbing until you reach the top! You can do it. There are people you know stationed along that mountain that is pulling for you, praying for you, believing in you! Be Blessed In Conquering The Mountain!

Take Out The Trash!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is Good! Just like in our home life we find ourselves needing to empty the trash. If your trash is like mine, it seems it is always full. Just when I put in a new bag, I turn around and it needs emptying again. No one likes to take out the trash. It's heavy, smelly and if the bag breaks gets everything really nasty. Sin is like that in our walk with God. We can only ignore it for so long and then it begans to stink up everything around us. If we are not careful, it will began to turn people away with it's smell, and the way it looks. Garbage laying around everywhere is not something you want to look at and when we allow garbage to accumulate in our lives...we began to feel and see the affects of it. We can eliminate our trash (sin) by repenting and asking God for forgiveness. Then just as we leave our physical garbage out by the curb and the garbage truck comes along and takes it away for us; so also will God do that for us. We sweep it up, put it in a bag and give it to God who will take it away. Don't let sin (trash) pile up today. Ask God to take it away and make everything clean again.
Be Blessed!


Ephesians 1:7 (New International Version) (7) In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.

He Is Our Everything!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is Amazing! Psalms 18:32-36 tells us that God is what keeps us going from day to day.. He is our strength! He gives us a shield of salvation....He holds us up and with his gentleness hath made us great! Rely on Jesus today! He is our everything!
Be Blessed!


Psa 18:32
[It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
Psa 18:33
He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places.


Psa 18:34
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.


Psa 18:35
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Psa 18:36
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

Moving From Glory To Glory!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so awesome! When we behold the glory of the Lord through a glass (mirror) we see and are changed into that same image...from glory to glory! As we walk with God we experience many things that cause us to grow....as we accomplish each test....we are moved up to another level. For me this is equivalent to levels in school. As we master one level we move to another. We should hold God's levels more important than school levels. Just as we wouldn't think of dropping out of school. We should never consider dropping out of God's annointing. Just as finishing school gives you a different pay scale....so does finishing God's level, except that God's rewards are far greater than money! Imagine the finish line today and know that no matter what test you are experiencing just hold on....because the end of this test is in site and when you pass you get the satisfaction of knowing that you have completed another and are now closer to God than you were before! Now you will be used of God like never before. Don't quit, because if you don't finish this level you will have to go through it again until you master it. Unlike school...Life doesn't let you quit! You will keep going through things until you can master and move on! Let's graduate! Let's master and move up and be used more of God!

Be Blessed!

2 Corinthians 3:18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Right Here, Right Now!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! The Here and the Now! Does this sound familiar? Here I am Lord, I need you Now! We find ourselves sometimes needing God's attention right away. It's in those moments that we need to get serious and let God know that right here right now we need him to come on the scene and help us. Like the blind man we have to cry out with a loud voice and say: "Jesus, thou son of David, how mercy on me! Have you ever felt anxious about a problem, not sure what to do or how to do it.....and knew that if you didn't get a hold of God right away....you weren't sure how you were going to be able to stand? Well, we have the assurance that if we cry out to God, he will arrive and give us relief or a way of escape! It is not his will for us to need him and not be able to find him. He is only a prayer away! If you are feeling anxious about something today, just cry out to God.....in your car, in your shower, wherever, but let him know you mean business right here, right now! Be Blessed!--
Luk 18:38
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.

Nevertheless!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Bro. Steve sent me something that struck a chord. It's the nevertheless moments. I looked up nevertheless and it means simply: in spite of. There are a lot of nevertheless' in the Bible. And we have a lot of those moments in our lives. Nevertheless is a way for one to rise above, or go beyond or stay the course. In spite of what I am going through, I will keep walking, and praying and lifting up Jesus. In spite of the bills of have to pay, I will continue to believe that God can provide. In spite of this sickness I have in my body, I know that Jesus heals. The nevertheless moments are the times we persevere! The times when despite the lack of hope we still keep keeping on! Jesus had a monumental nevertheless moment in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus faced death but still said nevertheless father, not as I will, but as you will. What if He had not continued when his flesh was weak? Where would we be today? There are so many times when our flesh is weak and we want to give in...but we must say nevertheless, I must keep going. God has our victory right around the corner! Stand firm today and say nevertheless I will follow Him!
Be Blessed In Victory!
Mat 26:39
He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You [will]."

When God's Spirit Moves!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! "And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters"....Sometimes we have dark places in our lives. Places that seem unimportant, lost, and without purpose. Places that we don't feel comfortable inviting God into. Places that don't measure up.....but when the spirit of God moves over those places they are changed! God took an earth without form, void and full of darkness and when His spirit moved across it, it became something wonderful....there was light, there was living things, there was dry land seperated from the water. It was good! He took dry bones and breathed His spirit into them and gave them life. God can take our dark places that are void and lifeless and He can breathe His spirit into it and give it life. He can remove the darkness and give us light! He can can take that which is without form and make it beautiful! Let God's spirit wash over you today and be blessed with the transformation!

Gen 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

God Is The Same Yesterday, Today and Forever!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! I would like to extend a special "thank you" to all of our veterans today and a prayer that God would meet their every need today!

You know we all have our issues that we would like the Lord to take care of for us. Some have financial issues, others have physical issues and still others battle depression or sadness. Whatever those issues are today, I submit to you that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. What he did for the woman with an issue of blood, he will do for you. What he did for the blind man he will do for you. Just read about all the miracles he performed in the Bible. The transformation in Saul who became Paul. The parting of the Red Sea. Think of the major task it took to free the children of Isreal out of Egypt. Time after time He saved, healed and rescued His people. They just believed that He could do it and He did. Step out today and believe Him for whatever it is that you are facing. Take that leap of faith, what could it hurt to try God?...could it be that you have tried everything else? It seems hard but it is very simple. Just simply say to God right now....Lord I trust you to supply my need today. Name that need and release it to God....really turn it over to him....worrying doesn't solve a thing and it certainly doesn't create miracles in our lives.

Lord, I pray for everyone who reads this today, that they will receive that which you want to provide them with. Increase their faith so that they can turn it over to you completely and know that it is being done. Because of the circumstances that take place in your realm that we know nothing about, help us to understand that just because we do not get our miracle instantly doesn't mean you aren't setting that miracle up. We know that you want us to simply ask and believe that you can provide for us. We ask this in your name, Jesus. Amen!--
Hbr 13:8
Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, today, and forever.

God Is Our Soul Provider!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is our sole "soul provider"! He feeds us when we are empty. He lifts us when we are down. He stirs us up when we are complacent. He increases our faith when we are weak. He blesses us when we have need of a blessing. He provides all that our soul desires, if we will only let him. You know when we need a gallon of milk, we don't go to the farm and fleet store....they haven't started carrying milk yet.... We go to a grocery store or to a Walmart. So when your soul is lacking why would we go to our friends expecting them to provide for our soul. Jesus is the only place to receive restoration and renewing for our soul. God's word is the only place to read how we can refill. God is our filling station....He causes our soul to dwell at ease; and our seed to inherit the earth. He has all we need! All we have to do is just ask. Spend some time with him and tell him what we have need of! God Bless You With Restoration and Renewing In Him!



Psa 25:13
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

We Are The Lord's Army!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Psalms 45: 2-4 "You are the fairest of all; your words are filled with grace; God himself is blessing you forever. Arm yourself , O mighty one, so glorious, so majestic! And in your majesty go on to victory, Defending truth, humility, and justice. Go forth to awe-inspiring deeds!" We are to go forth this morning and every morning defending truth, humility and justice. I love this part, "go forth to awe-inspiring deeds!" We have a work to do for God! We are his soldiers in his army. We are expected to fight for truth and justice and to spread his love to everyone we meet. Be Blessed in the Lord's Army!

Crown Him With Glory!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! Psalms 97: 1-6 "Jehovah is King! Let all the earth rejoice! Tell the farthest islands to be glad. Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes forth before him and burns up all his foes. His lightning flashes out across the world. The earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens declare his perfect righteousness; every nation sees his glory." Verse: 11-12 Light is sown for the godly and joy for the good. May all who are godly be happy in the Lord and crown him, our holy God. Crown him....give glory to his holy name. Be happy In the Lord...He is our King! Blessings!

God Is!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so wonderful! God Is: He is in the sunrise we see each morning. He is in the air we breathe. He is in the rain that falls and nourishes our earth. He is in our hearts! He is the love that flows abundantly. He is the hand that reaches out to comfort us when we grieve. He is the never failing hope we have of eternal life! He is our refuge in a storm. He is our helper when we are in trouble. He is an ever present God! He is the joy in the morning and the peace late at night. He is our healer! He is our Father! He is: The Alpha and Omega....the beginning and the end! Praise be to God!
Be Blessed because He is!


Psa 46:5
God [is] in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

God Knows Our Tomorrow!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so Good! What a wonderful thing to have the freedom to vote in an election! Whatever the outcome today...God has us in his hands. He has given us the hope of tomorrow and our future. He is the one who provides stability when things are less than certain. He is the one who rocks us gently when we are confused and seem lost. He loves us when it seems no one else really cares. May we all be thankful for our freedoms, our hopes and our dreams today! May we embrace each other in the common thread that God is our Father. Spread the love of Jesus around like flowers. Let the blush of God's love show on each and every face. And Be Blessed Abundantly!

Feel The Spirit Moving Today!

Good Morning Christian Peeps! God is so loving! There is a song that starts out like this... I can't seem to get it out of my head... "Everytime I feel the spirit, moving in my heart I will pray!" I think that is a way for us to monitor.... a way to feel when we need to pray for others that may be experiencing problems. It is a way to be connected to those around us. We may not always see that someone is in need but if we allow it the Holy Spirit will impress us. We are all connected in Christ Jesus and he wants to use us to help each other. May we feel the spirit moving in our hearts today and may we reach out to someone in need! God's Great Blessings!
