Praying and Fasting to End Abortion Part 1

There are national issues which may seem like a lost cause. Abortion is perhaps one of those issues to many who believe in Jesus and grieve over the national condition. However, something is happening right now on a national level. There is a battle raging to win hearts and minds and to educate men and …

Theology should change our lives to make us more like Jesus... #faith, #truefaith is inborn by the #power of the Holy Spirit. The #HolySpirit challenges us and changes us, when we submit to him. James 2:14 says,”What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but has no works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so, faith without works is dead, being by itself. But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one? You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.” ...#pridecomesbeforethefall #revealedministries #heartcheck #humility #james3:1 #Ezra7:10 #quotestoremember #awtozer #theology #careful #lifeofintegrity #repentance

We spent the evening with old friends. Something about being with old friends makes you feel young again. I thought I would relive my back bend years! It was such a fun and encouraging evening seeing what the Lord is doing at Compass Community Church at Lake Holiday. Jamie and I were friends in middle school. God brought both of us husbands in ministry and now we live in the same area, but don’t get to see each other as frequent as we would like, because we are both busy with the Ministries God has called us to. Relationships between believers will stay strong when they are rooted and grounded in the love of Christ. Even when you don’t see each other often- the bond of the Spirit holds you together...#spiritualleadership #bodyofchrist #pastorswife #womensministry #onthesameteam #lovefriendship #worshipnight
#dadbod Seriously? What in the world? Let me speak to all the ladies. While we all want our men to take care of themselves and #staystrong what in the world kind of standards does this world expect men to hold to? What defines a dad-bod anyways? What I want to know is when are we going to build up our guys for all that they sacrifice for us and stop making everything about outward appearance? What can be more attractive than a man who shoulders the responsibilities of his #family and #sacrifices for the one he loves? When Samuel is looking to anoint the next king of Israel, he sees some strapping young men, but God says (in 1 Samuel 16:7), “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the #heart.” Tag your favorite guy who has a #heartofgold and an amazing #dadbody.
New blog! Psalm 20 is a Psalm or assurance and protection. Earthquakes in various places, violence in our communities, humanitarian crises, family distress, personal woes and confusion over identity and purpose – these are but a few issues that face the average person today. In times such as these, you may feel crippled to even pray for your own internal struggles, let alone the world in general. Psalm 20 is the perfect Psalm of David for helping us to pray during uncertainties and confusion. David, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, sings a song of great assurance, protection, power and rest for the person who rests in the Lord.

If we are always looking into the future thinking, “I will be happy when...” then we are deceiving ourselves. God gives us the ability to have peace and joy in even the most mundane parts of life. Praying on my commute. Cleaning to bring comfort and joy to someone. Finding joy in the learning process and challenge of going through a new time of life. Don’t expect to only be happy on the days you “win the game.” You may find yourself sorely disappointed if you don’t enjoy playing the game. #livingwithjoy #revealedministries #everydaycounts #joyinthejourney #growingingrace #dailyhope #inspirationquotes #ecclesiastes #changemyheart #spiritualquotes

Sometimes the pain one can carry is not from conflict, but the lack of anything - even conflict - in a relationship. Are you alone? Are you abandoned, even when in the same room with a person? Is emotional intimacy something that you long for? Here are some Psalms about the grace of God in our loneliness. “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25:16‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬ “God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68:6‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬ “The LORD is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:18‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬ Remember that God knows you and loves you- even if you feel that you don’t know him very well. He longs to #reveal himself to you. You are his important child. He created you with a purpose and will support you and hear you when you cry out to him. Give him your despair. Jesus was lonely when he walked the earth. When he hung on the cross, he hung there abandoned and alone. He took your pain, your loneliness and your hopelessness to the cross. He was crucified to remove the sin that separates you from God, so that you can be adopted into God’s family. Today give God your pain and empty heart. Call on Jesus. Sit with him a while. Thank him for loving you so much that he died for your sin. Thank him for experiencing loneliness and rejection for you. Ask him to heal your broken, empty heart. If you don’t have any words, he will understand your cries and tears. ...#lonelyquotes #revealedministries #loneliness #nofriends #godloves #friendinjesus #marriages #restingodslove #brokenquotes #brokenhearted #peaceofmind✌#abandonment_issues #hopequotes #lifewithjesus #doinglifetogether
Spiritual lessons from the garden! In Song of Solomon, the book of love and marriage, it mentions that there are little “foxes” that can ruin a vineyard. Competing with life, is always the devourer, wanting to gobble up the beauty of our lives. “My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding-places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.” ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭2:14-16‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬ Notice that in between the declarations of love is a plea to rid the vineyard of the animals that will destroy the fruit of love. In every marriage, there are little foxes that will destroy the fruit of our love and bring disappointment. How disappointing to sow a bulb- a lily- only to have it eaten before it comes to bloom! The emptiness of the stem is virtual barrenness. What destroys your hope for your marriage? What foxes eat the fruit before you can enjoy the bloom of your patient, loving labor? Irritation? Busy living? Unrealistic expectations? Wandering eyes? Unforgiving hearts? Hopelessness? When I am laboring in my garden, if there is a heavy rain, I need to always be sure to spray my plants to keep away the deer. If I forget one time, the deer may come in and eat anywhere from 10% to 50% of my garden. It feels so ridiculous that I need to be so vigilant. But, what a picture of reality this is! If there is a difficult day when my husband and I are stressed out, if we do not take care to guard against anger, irritation and unforgiveness, the foxes of bitterness and distance can come in and destroy the beautiful date night we had just a couple days earlier. It may seem like, “we shouldn’t need to be so vigilant” but truly, the reality is that we do. Keep out the foxes and enjoy your garden!

#readthrough An important Bible study skill is to sit down and read through the entire book of the Bible you are studying in one sitting, before diving in further. If it’s a long book, and you cannot do it all in one reading, try to break it into a couple at least. In reading through #Romans today, I had a big #revelation that modern day American Christians are not understanding the full counsel of God’s Word. We are given sound bite theology. This verse, taken from the body of Romans 6, is a great example. When we put our faith in Christ, we die to our slavery to sin. We don’t continue in sin, serving it as a master. We don’t celebrate or support sin. We don’t say that Jesus would support our sin. Jesus took the full weight and punishment for our sin to set us free and to give us the power to walk in righteousness. The righteousness of Christ is made alive in us through faith and through the power of the Holy Spirit. We delight in the grace of God, but the grace of God is not, as Paul says in Romans 3, a ticket to sin freely with no consequence. “But, if our righteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances Gods truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” Why not say- as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say- “Let is do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved.” So, this is a long post for Instagram, but understanding God’s grace is important, especially in the times we live in. I encourage you to pick up the Bible for more than 5 minutes today and read through Romans! #biblestudy #revealedministries #godsgrace #slavetorighteousness #faithquotes #faithchangesthings #transformationchallenge #truth #spiritualwisdom #guardyourheart #romansroad #repentance #goodforthesoul
We can choose to focus on our frailty and humanity. We can allow doubt to be our badge of distinction, or we can lay our weaknesses and personal failings at the feet of Jesus and focus on his sufficiency, love and power to rescue us. #doubtfilled #faith #EyesonJesus #prayerwarrior #struggleisreal #life #sufficiencyofgod #powerfromGodnotme #inmyweaknessheisstrong #frail #revealed #truthrevealed #revealedministries
