Encouraging Christians

God has a Redemptive Plan for your life. He will restore to you many important aspects and fulfill your heart’s desires in the process. He is a good, good Father who loves you. What are you willing to ask Him to restore? Years, relationships, blessings? Ask, and ye shall receive!

Who will you take with you as your spiritual inheritance?

Internal Paths of Righteousness you are led by Go the Holy Spirit on:In your spirit - Purity, Holiness, Discernment, TruthIn your Mind - Renewed Thinking, wisdom, soundnessIn your Emotions - Peace, Joy, Gentleness, CompassionIn your Will (decisions/choices) - Obedience, integrity, right choices

The Holy Spirit will influence your will (decisions and choices you make) to be obedient to the Father and align with Scripture. The Holy Spirit’s path for your will leads to Obedience, Integrity, and Alignment with God’s purposes for your life.

Emotions - your internal and external feelings. As a Christian - would you describe your emotions as being Holy Spirit governed and Scripture Anchored?The Holy Spirit led emotions reflect His Peace, Joy, Gentleness, Compassion, and Emotional Stability. Do you?When you do not, then return to His Emotional path of Righteousness by: 1) Pouring out your heart to God, 2) Letting the Holy Spirit calm your soul, 3) Inviting the Holy Spirit’s fruit, and 4) Refusing to let your emotions rule. The Holy Spirit’s path in emotions leads a believer to be peaceful, gentle, and emotionally mature. Is this you?

Thinking Paths Of Righteousness for believers:Renewed Thinking, Wisdom, Sound Reasoning, Scripture-shaped Thoughts, Heaven focused thinking.When you stray mentally from these, return to these mental paths of righteousness by: 1) Taking thoughts captive - 2 Corinthians 10:5; 2) Refocus on Truth - Philippians 4:8; 3) Saturate your mind with Scripture - John 17:17.

When your spirit strays from His Spirit, how do you return?

As a sheep, you are either following your Shepherd or going astray? Who is leading you today?

Sheep walk in paths - some righteous, some not. What paths are you on?

Write me at [email protected]

1 Chronicles 4:10 - Will you look that verse up and pray through that verse for yourself today? Will you do it every day for 30 days straight? What do you think will happen in your life? Write me afterwards and tell us about it at [email protected]

How should you pray for your spouse, children, and grandchildren daily? God’s Favor. Jesus grew in favor with God and man. Don’t you want your loved ones too as well?

Who wants a heaping dose of God’s Mercy on them today? I do! Do you?

Genesis 39:21 How would praying for God’s Presence in your spouse’s life and children’s lives daily impact them?

Everyone deals with trauma from their past. The Holy Spirit heals through the truth He will guide you to in His Word. He will speak it directly to your heart for healing and freedom.

Our God, Jesus, Yahweh, Jehovah, is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is the God of miracles today. Do you believe He is?

Lord, Save me!

Coping Mechanisms such as prayer, Bible study, journaling can be beneficial to helping you grow. Others such as alcohol, drugs, addictions can damage you and keep you from becoming emotionally mature. God will help you and be present with you. Will you lean on Him?

Emotional Overload? How do we handle it? Coping Mechanisms. What are your favorites? Have you grown through them yet?

Cancel Culture was a habit of the Pharisees, not of Jesus. Christians who practice “cancelling” people in some way are not following the Spirit of God and aligning themselves with Jesus and the Word of God. Please avoid this trap from the enemy.

Redemption means being bought back from slavery - spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and morally. Have you been redeemed? Do you live like it?

Faith is not the absence of struggle. Every one who believes in God and follows Him by faith wrestles with surrender in some area.

Gideon had faith, but it was fragile. God met Gideon and God grew Gideon’s faith. Can He do the same with you?

Is your life about self-indulgence or are you motivated to invest in others and fulfill your calling?

Nebuchadnezzar had so lifted and built himself up that he had a 90 foot tall statue of himself made and caused others to bow down to it. When he fell, he fell hard. Only God could pick him back up after he became humble. Don’t be so proud that God has to knock you down to get you to become humble.

What was God’s last Word of instruction or direction to you? Have you obeyed it? Who all has been impacted by your obedience?

God uses trials and difficulties we endure to unlock potential blessings in us to impact others. Trials can produce growth in parenting, marriage, and ministry to others. What is God unlocking in you as you go through your trial right now?

Trials are not what anyone desires or wishes for. Yet, God uses trials to set us up for blessings to future generations. How is God using your trial in your life? How will God use the fruit He is producing in you now to bless others?

God allows trials (fires) to remove sin, pride, and fear, preparing our hearts for growth, maturity, and blessings. Life challenges, even traumatic, painful ones, are opportunities for character refinement and spiritual maturity.

New wounds. Old wounds. Spiritual wounds. Emotional wounds. Life choice/decision wounds. Many physical wounds. Jesus heals our wounds. Do you have any wounds you need Him to heal today?

Do you practice Fasting as a believer? Do you walk with God? Do you want to walk with God more intimately? Do you want to have a greater impact for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom? Will you incorporate fasting into your Christian experience?

Believers who are walking with Jesus have a warm temperature that continually rises. Are you walking with Jesus today as you should be? Do you need to ask yourself, What’s Wrong With Being Lukewarm?

We are commanded in Scripture to be Holy as God is Holy. That means keep ourselves free from defilement. Our minds, our eyes, our mouths, our hearts, our lips, our choices. Do you say things that are defiling? Do you think thoughts regularly that are defiling? Do you keep your self clean and pure to the best of your ability? Do you try to defile others? Have you been defiled?

Are you willing to lay yourself before the Father and yield completely over to Him today?

What does your Spirit-Filled path look like for you today? Sharing the good news of the gospel? Carrying your cross? Helping your spouse through pain? Endure suffering? Jesus went to the cross Spirit-Filled— 100% God and 100% man. He surrendered to the Father’s will. Are you?

Acts 2:11-12

Jesus took my judgment in His body on the cross, Jesus replaced judgment from God with Peace with God through Justification. Have you received eternal peace with God through Jesus or do you still fear Judgment for eternity in the Lake of Fire? You can get peace with God right now:Acknowledge your sin - all the bad things a person does- what you have done that you know is wrong. Recognize your penalty - eternal separation from God forever in the Lake of Fire.Trust Jesus’ payment on the Cross - Jesus paid your penalty when He (sinless) shed His blood for you (sinful) and died in your place.Ask God to forgive you for your sin based on Jesus payment and give you the gift of Eternal Life.

Jesus’ name is as powerful as it’s ever been. Jesus is still healing people today. What do you need healing from?

Don’t let control based coping keep you from experiencing God’s blessings in your life.

How far are you from God? How far is too far?

Destiny today and destiny tomorrow. Don’t get out of your God given boundaries and derail yourself from God’s best for your life.

Self-Control or Impulsivity which controls you more?

In God’s master plan, how do you and I fit in? God has a plan and His plan includes you. How do you fit into His plan? Are you good enough for Him to use?

Do you have known since you harbor or allow to stay in your heart? That very sin keeps a wall up in your heart from transparency, honesty, and nearness to God. Confess it as sin to Him. Draw near to Him and He responds with nearness to you.

When we sin, we fail. We feel distant from God. We avoid God. Our intimacy with God weakens. When we draw near to God, He responds with nearness to us. If you want to feel and be closer to God. Get closer to Him right now.

Have you been born of the Spirit?

James 4:8 states, “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.”Do you feel close to God?Are you close to God? Do you want God to feel and be closer? Move closer to God and He responds with nearness to you.
