• COMMUNISTS EXECUTED THEM FOR THEIR FAITH. THEIR HIDDEN BABY SURVIVED IN A RICE BASKET.

    John and Betty Stam met at Moody Bible Institute, both individually feeling called to serve as missionaries in China, and married there in 1933 through the China Inland Mission. In September 1934, their daughter Helen Priscilla was born, and just two months later, the young family settled into a new post in Anhui Province, in the small town of Jingde. Two weeks after arriving, Communist soldiers unexpectedly overran the town and took the entire family prisoner.

    John wrote a letter to mission headquarters that night, informing them of the Communists' $20,000 ransom demand, knowing full well the mission's strict policy against ever paying ransoms. He closed the letter with the words, "The Lord bless and guide you, and as for us, may God be glorified whether by life or by death." The next morning, the couple was marched to a hill outside the nearby town of Miaoshou to be executed, a Chinese medicine seller who pleaded on his knees for their release, and who was later found to own a Bible and hymnbook, executed alongside them for his own faith.

    Before the couple was led away, Betty found a way to hide their three month old daughter, tucking her into a sleeping bag with a change of clothes and money pinned inside her diaper. Two days later, a Chinese evangelist named Dr. Lo found baby Helen alive, concealed her in a rice basket, and carried her to safety, eventually delivering her to Betty's parents, who were still serving as missionaries elsewhere in China. Helen grew up, became a teacher, and raised her own family in the eastern United States. News of the Stams' deaths spread around the world and, in the decades since, has continued to inspire generations of believers to serve overseas despite the risk.

    Do you think you could have found the peace John wrote about, in that same letter, facing what he faced?

    The Blessing of Kindness
    Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.
    Proverbs 21:21 (GNB)

    There are blessings that motivate us to be kind. Treating people with kindness will help us keep our heart and attitude running in the right direction. Otherwise, we can easily become selfish and indifferent towards others. Christian kindness is tender-hearted. If the heart is hard on the inside and the manners are meek and polite and helpful on the outside, it is not Christian kindness. The idea behind "tender-hearted" is that our insides are easily touched.

    Kindness causes us to act by words or deeds to help meet the needs and concerns of others, even of those who don’t deserve it. That’s the kindness God extends to us – He forgives, shows us favour, and helps us even though we don’t deserve it. Be encouraged to intentionally perform acts of kindness every day. This is how we are to treat others. It is a key to living the Christian life – being kind! So why not be kind and watch the blessings flow! This is your day.

    Wisdom Fountain: "What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?"
    Prayer: Father Lord, thank You for Your endless love and for showing me how to love others. Bless the kindness I share with the world. Give me a pure heart that gives without expecting anything back. May the small seeds of grace I plant bring comfort to the hurting, joy to the lonely, and light to dark places. Just as Your word promises that those who refresh others will be refreshed, let Your goodness flow back into my life in Jesus’ name.

  • Wednesday evening Bible study.
    Bless us Lord. Continue The Book of Romans

    “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *God wants our hearts in this relationship. To daily grow and learn how to Live, pleasing To God.

    “Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *it’s here we learn and grow how to Live. Trusting God.
    God gives us what we need to serve Him.

    “Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all! Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *enthusiastically Rejoice. Keep on Praying.
    Honorable
    Peace.
    Kindness
    Do Good.

    “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience. Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *do what is right. Bless those in authority.
    Honor God do what is right.

    “Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *don’t even allow it, give up sinning. Be Full of Christ.
    *All Jesus, no more of the flesh.
    *back to verse 2 Daily forever Transforming
    *Life being pleasing and perfect

    “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *people having issue with meat offered to idols. Still hung up on religious customs.

    *its all about the Heart.

    “Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval. In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable. Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God. For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—to be Lord both of the living and of the dead. So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For the Scriptures say, “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to God.’” Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭4‬-‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *Jesus Standing in our Place. We’ve got to be assured of Living for Him.
    It’s about our Heart.

    “So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall. I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong. And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died. Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good. For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too. So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬
    *be living and honorable.
    Goodness and Peace.
    Pleasing to God.

    “Don’t tear apart the work of God over what you eat. Remember, all foods are acceptable, but it is wrong to eat something if it makes another person stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble. You may believe there’s nothing wrong with what you are doing, but keep it between yourself and God. Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right. But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭20‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    *do what is Right.
    *Trust God… it’s about the Heart. Relationship with God, relationship with one another…

  • You’re Always on His Mind

    Psalms 115:12 YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

    No one cares about your life more than YHWH does. In fact, he cares about your life more than you do.

    There’s an old Willie Nelson song, “You Were Always on My Mind.” But the idea behind that song just isn’t true. No matter how much you love someone, they can’t be on your mind all the time.

    But I want to tell you this: You are always on YHWH’s mind. He is never not thinking about you. He’s thinking about you right now.

    The Scriptures teach this over and over.

    Psalms 115:12 YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. And 1 Peter 5:7 says…

    1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

    Whatever concerns you concerns YHWH - all the things you’re worried about or afraid about. There is nothing in your life you’re concerned about that YHWH isn’t concerned about, because you are always on his mind.

    Because you’re always on YHWH’s mind, he’s always looking out for you. And that means you can always trust his plan for your life.

    Before Messiah was born, Mary accepted YHWH’s destiny for her life because she knew YHWH was always looking out for her. After the angel told her that YHWH had chosen her as the mother of his Son, she said the following…

    Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

    What does “mindful” mean? That means YHWH is alert. He’s attentive. He’s aware. He’s focused. He’s paying attention. When nobody else is paying attention to you, YHWH’s paying attention to you. He notices everything. In fact, Messiah said this about your life…

    Matthew 10:29-30 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

    I like the cross reference for that scripture…

    Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before YHWH? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

    You don’t know the number of hairs on your head—but YHWH does. That’s how much attention he pays to your life!

    YHWH’s mindfulness—his attention, his concern—made Mary trust YHWH with her destiny. Will you trust him with your destiny too?

    He cared for the disciples when the where in the boat and it was about to sink…

    Mark 4:38-39 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Rabbi, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

    Psalms 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

    Job 7:17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

    Psalms 144:3 YHWH, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

    Psalms 115:12 YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

    Psalms 40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet YHWH thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my Elohim.

    Psalms 31:7-8 (7) I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; (8) And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

    Think about this…

    Psalms 139:7-16 (7) Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? (8) If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. (9) If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; (10) Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. (11) If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. (12) Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. (13) For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. (14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (15) My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. (16) Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
    You’re Always on His Mind Psalms 115:12 YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. No one cares about your life more than YHWH does. In fact, he cares about your life more than you do. There’s an old Willie Nelson song, “You Were Always on My Mind.” But the idea behind that song just isn’t true. No matter how much you love someone, they can’t be on your mind all the time. But I want to tell you this: You are always on YHWH’s mind. He is never not thinking about you. He’s thinking about you right now. The Scriptures teach this over and over. Psalms 115:12 YHWH hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. And 1 Peter 5:7 says… 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Whatever concerns you concerns YHWH - all the things you’re worried about or afraid about. There is nothing in your life you’re concerned about that YHWH isn’t concerned about, because you are always on his mind. Because you’re always on YHWH’s mind, he’s always looking out for you. And that means you can always trust his plan for your life. Before Messiah was born, Mary accepted YHWH’s destiny for her life because she knew YHWH was always looking out for her. After the angel told her that YHWH had chosen her as the mother of his Son, she said the following… Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. What does “mindful” mean? That means YHWH is alert. He’s attentive. He’s aware. He’s focused. He’s paying attention. When nobody else is paying attention to you, YHWH’s paying attention to you. He notices everything. In fact, Messiah said this about your life… Matthew 10:29-30 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. I like the cross reference for that scripture… Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before YHWH? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. You don’t know the number of hairs on your head—but YHWH does. That’s how much attention he pays to your life! YHWH’s mindfulness—his attention, his concern—made Mary trust YHWH with her destiny. Will you trust him with your destiny too? He cared for the disciples when the where in the boat and it was about to sink… Mark 4:38-39 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Rabbi, carest thou not that we perish?

  • RUN YOUR RACE WITH YOUR EYES ON JESUS!
    Don’t Let the Weight Stop You From Reaching the Finish Line!

    Scripture :
    “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
    Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”— Hebrews 12:1–2
    Thought Of The Day...
    There comes a time in our walk with God when we have to ask ourselves a serious question:
    What am I carrying that God never told me to carry?
    Hebrews 12 tells us that the Christian life is like a race. But this is not a sprint. It is a race that requires faith, endurance, discipline, patience, and focus.
    The writer says:
    “Let us lay aside every weight…”
    Notice that the Bible distinguishes between a weight and sin.
    Everything weighing you down may not necessarily be sinful, but it still may be keeping you from running effectively.
    Some weights are fear.
    Some weights are disappointment.
    Some weights are unforgiveness.
    Some weights are people’s opinions.
    Some weights are past failures.
    Some weights are relationships that constantly drain your spirit.
    Some weights are worry about things you cannot control.
    And sometimes we are asking God to give us strength to carry something when God is saying:
    “I NEVER TOLD YOU TO CARRY IT. LAY IT DOWN!”
    First Peter 5:7 says:
    “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
    You cannot run freely while trying to carry yesterday’s pain, tomorrow’s worries, and today’s responsibilities all at the same time.
    Some things have to be laid at the feet of Jesus.
    LAY ASIDE THE SIN THAT EASILY BESETS YOU
    Hebrews does not stop with the weights. It says:
    “…and the sin which doth so easily beset us…”
    There are some things we need God to carry, but there are other things we need to repent of and put away.
    David prayed in Psalm 139:23–24:
    “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me…”
    We cannot ask God to bless what He has told us to surrender.
    We cannot run toward destiny while deliberately holding onto something that keeps pulling us backward.
    Sometimes spiritual growth requires us to say:
    “Lord, show me ME.”
    Not my neighbor.
    Not my spouse.
    Not my family.
    Not the people at church.
    ME!
    Show me what needs to change.
    Show me what needs to go.
    Show me what I need to surrender.
    Because I don't want anything interfering with the race You have placed before me.
    RUN THE RACE GOD SET BEFORE YOU
    The Scripture says:
    “…let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”
    Notice it says “the race that is set before us.”
    You don't have to run somebody else's race.
    You don't have to compete with somebody else's calling.
    You don't have to compare your chapter three with somebody else's chapter twenty.
    Galatians 6:4 says:
    “But let every man prove his own work…”
    God has given you a race.
    Your assignment may be different.
    Your journey may be different.
    Your timing may be different.
    Your obstacles may be different.
    And your testimony may be different.
    Stop looking at how quickly somebody else seems to be moving and trust what God is doing in your life.
    YOU ARE NOT CALLED TO OUTRUN OTHER PEOPLE. YOU ARE CALLED TO FINISH YOUR RACE FAITHFULLY!
    RUN WITH PATIENCE
    This may be one of the hardest parts.
    “…run with patience…”
    We want God to do it now.
    We want the prayer answered now.
    We want the door opened now.
    We want the healing now.
    We want the breakthrough now.
    We want the situation changed now.
    But sometimes God develops us while we are waiting for what He promised us.
    Isaiah 40:31 declares:
    “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength…”
    Patience does not mean you have stopped believing.
    Patience means:
    “God, even though I haven't seen it yet, I still trust You.”
    When you're tired—keep running.
    When you're disappointed—keep running.
    When people misunderstand you—keep running.
    When prayers seem unanswered—keep running.
    When you cannot see the finish line—keep running.
    Why?
    Because God never promised that the race would always be easy.
    But He promised that He would be with you.
    KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS
    Hebrews 12:2 gives us the secret:
    “Looking unto Jesus…”
    Your strength will not come from constantly looking at the problem.
    Your peace will not come from constantly looking at people.
    Your confidence will not come from constantly looking at circumstances.
    LOOK TO JESUS!
    Peter learned this lesson when he walked on water.
    Matthew 14:29–30 tells us Peter stepped out of the boat and walked toward Jesus. But when he focused on the wind, fear entered and he began to sink.
    The storm was already there when Peter stepped out.
    The difference was where Peter was looking.
    As long as his attention was directed toward Jesus, he was walking through something that should have overwhelmed him.
    But when his focus shifted from Christ to the crisis, fear began taking over.
    And somebody needs to hear this today:
    DON'T LET WHAT IS AROUND YOU BECOME BIGGER THAN THE JESUS WHO IS BEFORE YOU!
    JESUS IS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER
    Hebrews calls Jesus:
    “…the author and finisher of our faith.”
    If Jesus is the Author, He knows your story.
    If Jesus is the Finisher, He knows how your story ends.
    Philippians 1:6 says:
    “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
    God did not bring you this far just to abandon you halfway through the race.
    There are still chapters God is writing.
    There are still prayers God is answering.
    There are still doors God can open.
    There are still people God wants you to impact.
    There is still purpose in you.
    So don't quit because you're tired.
    Don't quit because it became difficult.
    Don't quit because somebody walked away.
    Don't quit because things didn't happen according to your timetable.
    LAY ASIDE THE WEIGHT.
    TURN AWAY FROM THE SIN.
    STOP COMPARING YOUR RACE.
    RUN WITH PATIENCE.
    KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.
    And when your strength gets low, remember:
    THE SAME JESUS WHO CALLED YOU TO THE RACE WILL GIVE YOU THE GRACE TO FINISH IT!


    PRAYER...
    Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, thank You for reminding us that we are not running this race alone.
    Lord, reveal every weight that has been slowing us down. Help us release fear, worry, disappointment, bitterness, unforgiveness, painful memories, and every burden You never intended us to carry.
    Search our hearts, O God. Reveal every sin that easily besets us, and give us the courage to repent, surrender, and walk in obedience.
    When we become tired, strengthen us.
    When we become discouraged, encourage us.
    When we become distracted, redirect our eyes toward Jesus.
    When we cannot understand what You are doing, give us faith to trust You anyway.
    Help us stop comparing our journey with others and faithfully run the race You have personally placed before us.
    We declare that our past will not stop us, our problems will not defeat us, distractions will not derail us, and discouragement will not cause us to quit.
    Our eyes are on Jesus—the Author and Finisher of our faith!
    Give us grace to run.
    Give us patience to endure.
    Give us strength to continue.
    And give us faith to finish.
    In the mighty name of Jesus,
    Amen and Amen!

    DECLARATION...
    TODAY I DECLARE:
    I will lay aside every weight that hinders my walk with God.
    I will turn away from anything that separates me from His will.
    I will not compare my race with anyone else's race.
    I will run with patience when the journey becomes difficult.
    I will trust God when I cannot understand His timing.
    I will keep moving when I feel tired.
    I will keep believing when I cannot see the breakthrough.
    MY EYES ARE FIXED ON JESUS!
    He is the Author of my faith.
    He is the Finisher of my faith.
    What God has started in me, He is faithful to complete!
    I WILL NOT QUIT!
    I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
    I WILL RUN MY RACE!
    I WILL KEEP THE FAITH!
    AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WILL FINISH STRONG!
    In Jesus’ name—Amen!
    RUN YOUR RACE WITH YOUR EYES ON JESUS! Don’t Let the Weight Stop You From Reaching the Finish Line!

  • PLEAD THE BLOOD
    Pleading the Blood of Jesus is not begging -- but a legal term.
    REVELATION 12:10-11 NKJ10 . . . the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
    The devil is our accuser. The only successful plea is the Blood of Jesus. Pleading our ignorance, our innocence, or our merits will fail. Only relying on the Blood of our substitute sacrifice, the Lamb of God, will win our case before God the Judge.
    When we pray, we should base our prayer on the Blood of Jesus-- the price paid for our needs to be met -- instead of on our need or our worthiness.
    When we resist the devil, we cannot resist him based on who we are or what we have done, but only on the price paid for our complete redemption -- the precious Blood of Jesus.
    Faith in Jesus' Blood, released in testimony against the devil,will always cause him to flee. We must resist him, steadfast in faith, for as long as it takes.
    Our enemy can always be overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. We have victory over every evil because of Jesus' shed Blood.
    PSALM 107:2 NKJ 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
    We must SAY we are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb.
    Here are some example statements you could use in pleading the Blood.
    In the Name of Jesus, I plead the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ against this problem.
    I cover my home with the Blood of Jesus to protect all occupants and possessions from all evil.Especially in times of violence we need to cry out for the protection of the Blood for all our household. Parents can put the Blood on their "door" -- taking in all that pertains to them -- and claim salvation and protection for their entire family.
    The Blood is the one thing that will keep your family safe in these perilous days. When we awaken in the morning we should call for the Blood to be upon us and all that belongs to us. Before we sleep we should, in the same way, call for the protection of the Blood.
    SAY THIS: I plead the Blood of Jesus over all my household and all our possessions.

    God bless you!
