Application of God's Word

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.   Galatians 5:22-23       As followers of Christ, believers or Christians, there is a continual battle between our flesh and our spirit and Paul in his writings speaks of this candidly. In Galatians 5:17 , Paul writes, " For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want." As followers of Christ, we cannot do what we want to do according to our flesh but we must now walk in the spirit.       Why walk in the spirit? Well, walking in the flesh is walking in our sinful nature or being of this world. As believers, we know that we are in the world but not of the world. Furthermore, we cannot please God, our Heavenly Father, by walking in the flesh. In John 4:24 it s...

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." Galatians 6:9 Good morning brothers in sisters in Christ! I just want to encourage you to continue to do well, continue to plant seeds of kindness in people's lives and to continue to do good.  The scripture says to not get weary in well doing. God knows sometimes we will get tired and may not see the point in doing well that's why the scripture continues by saying that "for in due season we shall reap IF we do not lose heart." There is a condition under which we will reap our due rewards and that is if we do not lose heart. Therefore, we can not give up, get tired or feel

I want to share this video with you guys. It ties in with our previous post on kindness .  There are so many negative things out there going viral, let's send this positive message out there to share the message on kindness. Our time here is truly limited and only what we do for God will last. These acts of kindness are truly Christ-like. It should encourage us to help those out there who are truly less fortunate. Be encouraged!

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It's been a while...Thank you for all the encouragement and all the love. We here truly appreciate it. Today I feel compelled to share with you a life lesson I learned a long time ago. It's fairly simple:  Be kind to others . Kindness goes a long way . Sometimes we may not know how much our acts of kindness might impact another person or even ourselves. Have you ever wondered how your acts of kindness today may impact your children and grandchildren tomorrow? We honestly don't know the great impact our simple acts of kindness truly have. Therefore, I implore you today to be kind to others no matter how small the act may be. It will make you feel better and it doesn't take anything from you, in fact, you are storing up blessings in heaven. It does not cost much to be kind, if anything, at all. While being kind also remember to do it with a good, clean heart and with all sincerity. Also, do not expect an...

Someone shared this with me and I thought it was absolutely beautiful. Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to wake up the next morning but still we have plans for tomorrow, that's called HOPE. Hope this was a blessing to you. God bless you!

This poem is believed to have been written by Mother Theresa. It speaks volumes about continuation. Continuing to do that good thing that you are doing that others may not see value in, may ridicule or may destroy, however you must continue. Do not let set backs stop you from progressing and living your life to the fullest. Do not let what others perceive of you stop you from doing the good that you are doing, continue. They called Jesus names and even accused Him of being the devil but did that stop His ministry? No it didn't because He knew His purpose and it was greater than what others thought or believed. He knew He was doing God's will and that all that mattered. So be encouraged. Continue to do the good and to do the will of God because in the end, you have to give an account for yourself. People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you ...

Happy new year everyone! I know, I know, I'm quite late. I do apologize. I pray that in this year and the many more years that God blesses us with, that we will continue to grow in Him and be more Christ-like. I pray that all your dreams, hopes, desires come true this year and the years to come. Just put them before God and He will surely grant you the desires of your heart. Have faith in Him. As a new year approaches, of course many of us will make resolutions. These resolutions are sometimes be based on things we may not have accomplished in previous years that we would like to accomplish this year. Or we may be inspired and have new goals and dreams. But imagine for a minute having
