Dear friends of the Cross,
Would like to ask for prayer as I seem to be in a never ending rutt.
I want so badly to experience what I once had, which is the Joy of the Lord and serving Him. I've faced a lot of opposition from the body of Christ as I've grown and some haven't welcomed the growth and see it as some sort of threat. My spirit wants to soar like wings of Eagles, but the enemy has been using people to discourage me. Pastor has been ever so supportive, but I need the power of the almighty to come against Satan and change hearts, and heal mine!
In Jesus Name

So Jesus can say! " well done, my good and faithful servant, you have been faithful with a few things, and now I will make you ruler over many" Again! "when the ways of a man pleases the Lord, he cause even his enemies to be at peace with him" WWJD? is what's being suggested as the right coarse of action to take when dealing with adversity, and remember the proverbs " a soft answer turns away wrath" do the opposite of what the enemy expects. In sunday school, we studied the lessons of Daniel: 6:4-7, 10, 16, 19 ,21 25-26. The moral of these teachings is (or the practical points),
1. Piety counts for little if it does not affect our everyday lives.
2. Our faithfulness to God should be such that even our enemies can count on it.
3. The actions or *threats* of others should not *alter* in the slightest our commitment to serving the Lord.
4. A consistent *testimony will have an impact ven in the most *unlikely places.*
5. Our faith will *inspire hope and faith* in others.
6. faithfulness is a sure way to *bring God honor* in this world.
Stick with what got you where you are today, and that is faith in a risen Savior. Because he got up from the grave (he lives) I can see tomarrow, and so can you. Be blessed LJ, and not discouraged or stressed! this too! shall pass. *AMEN*
