Using Bible 'Raid'
Philippians 2:1
"Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ?
Any comfort from His love?
Any fellowship together in the Spirit?
Are your hearts tender and compassionate?"
Ephesians 4:23
"Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes."
ABILITY is what you're capable of doing.
MOTIVATION determines what you do.
ATTITUDE determines how well you do it."
"But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory .......,
because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world."
You all know that we SO enjoy 'The Kingdom Heirs'. On their new CD there is a song, "Help Me, Lord" (written by Dianne Wilkinson) which is such a blessing for me at times. Here are some of the words:
"Help me Lord, on my journey
When I'm tested... when I'm tired
Help me, Lord ... keep me serving
Keep me walking right by your side
When my troubles put me under
Make me wonder what I'm livin' for
I'm down on my knees now
I'm begin' you please, now
Help me Lord.
There is no other comforting friend
Who bears every burden ... sees it through to the end
When I face temptation, and I'm down for the count
Nobody but You, Lord, can get me up and help me out.
When my troubles put me under
Make me wonder what I'm livin' for
I'm down on my knees now
I'm beggin' you please now
Help me, Lord."
Isaiah 41:10
"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand."
Hope you have a victorious day. Maggie

God Has Something to Say
That's how it happened with Gloria and me. When we first accepted Jesus as Lord, we didn't have any idea how to hear God. Our spirits weren't yet trained to distinguish His leading. But since the Bible promised we could do it, we began to approach our prayer time and Bible study time expecting to hear God's direction and He began to give it.
I'll never forget the first time it happened to Gloria. She'd been reading the Bible and she just stopped for a few minutes to see if God would say something to her. Right down on the inside of her, she heard the Lord say, "The light is on in your car."
It didn't occur to her that God would speak to her about something so trivial, so she just brushed that thought aside and went on listening. Pretty soon, He said the same thing again. He kept on repeating it until finally, she got up and walked out to the car. Sure enough, the light was on.
Why would God bother with something as insignificant as a car light? Because He cares! He knew Gloria was home alone that night with two small children, and if that battery had run down, she'd have been stuck there. God was watching out for her, and He told her just exactly what she needed to know right then.
Yet, at the same time, He knew she was a beginner where listening to His voice was concerned, so He gave her an instruction she could follow without much risk. I mean, what if she had gone out there and the light hadn't been on? What if she'd missed it? She would have felt foolish but that wouldn't have hurt anything.
If you'll trust Him, the Holy Spirit will do the same thing for you that He did for Gloria and me. He'll bring you along one step at a time in a way that will help you, not hurt you.
The biggest mistake you can make is to be afraid to follow that inward witness which is the number one way God leads all His children (Romans 8:14- "For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God"). So don't be afraid. Take time to listen today. Expect to hear in your spirit. God has something to say to you.
