            """""
Words Of Wisdom From The Best"""""

What does God require of thee?
How Long! How Long! How Long?
Who are you serving?
Is it for the Lord's sake?
Are you coming to church because it is a sacrifice?
You can't serve God and Man!
You can't do what you want to do for yourself, and then want God to do something for you!
Do not over come evil with good.
Some of us do things, and if we don't get praise we quit!
There is nothing, nothing of God's that is going down because you quit!!
We are only passing through here.
Don't get caught up on these things in the world
Every child of God is of a different order.
We have a tendency to blame somebody else for our wrong.
Some of us don't have a repenting spirit!
We come to God telling him, what we haven't done.
Say "Lord I'm guilty; say you're guilty!
The book will be open.
Your life will be judged by what you have done
Shape up! Trim up! So you can be Caught up!!
Only what you do for God will stand.
Don't let society put you down.
Thank God and enjoy life.
Give yourself a Pep Talk!
Encourage yourself,
The way to do this is use the Greatest Book in the world, The Bible.
Take the best of what you have, or what you are, and make it great.
Don't keep beating yourself up.
Everyone must have their own experiences.
Remember anger dwells in the bosom of a fool.
Never put a question mark where God put a period.
If you have foolish thoughts the worst you can do is give a person a piece of your mind.
The more you think about a problem, the worst it will get.
What ever is in your heart will come out.
When you say you can't make it, you are sowing negative seeds and you will get a crop.
Don't think! Don't ask questions! Do whatever God tells you!
The more you try to do the will of the Lord, the devil will attack; because he is losing ground.
Shout now! You've already won.
Let the weak say "I am strong."
No matter how the devil Huff and Puff, he can't blow you down!!
Ask and you shall receive, not reason out the situation.
If God says do something, do it and get rid of the reason you feel you can't.
It's not by power or might but by my word, and not by your reasoning.
You're the Kings Kid.**
Put some *Pepper in your Step!!
Sometimes you will have to cry, but get rid of the reason why? Smile no matter what and stop asking God why??
Be likable, and if someone doesn't like you; tell them they are missing a likeable person.
When you are down and out turn to God; he is our refuge and strength.
Get off the avenue of self pity, and don't have a Pity Party!
The Bible did not say 'Blessed are the poor, dumb and ignorant! No, it said "Blessed are the poor in spirit".
Don't you know you have Royal Blood, set your priorities in order.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these thing shall be added!!
A baby learned to walk, by getting up, falling, but trying again!!
You can't go down looking up!
Satan may have backed you up against the wall, but all God wants you to do is keep the faith and no matter how the devil rage, Keep Cool!
Every one has a cross to bear; Everyone has tribulations, God selects them?

                                                        

******WALK WITH GOD******

IF WE WALK WITH GOD IN THE SUNSHINE,
HE WILL WALK WITH US IN THE SHADOW!
IF WE WALK WITH GOD WHEN WE ARE BURDENED,
HE WILL WALK WITH US 'TILL WE ARE LIFTED!
IF WE WALK WITH GOD WITH SINCERITY,
HE WILL WALK WITH US THROUGH ETERNITY!
IF WE WALK WITH GOD AND KEEP ON WALKING,
HE WILL WALK WITH US ON TO GLORY

AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.

HE MAKES ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES:  HE

LEADS ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.

HE RESTORES MY SOUL: HE LEADS ME IN THE PATHS OF

RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME SAKE.

I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing us to meet.  You've all been an encouragement in my life, a blessing and a joy to me.  I pray that you continue to grow in the Lord, and are filled with more faith everyday, and that you draw nearer and nearer to God, and that you please him in everyway.  I pray that the Lord's face shine upon you and as he showers you with mercy and grace, I hope that he strengthens you daily and lifts you up, and that you embrace his promises.  I pray that the Lord fills up your heart with his love for all mankind, and that your life will be an example that brings many souls to the Vine.  I pray that your love may abound more and more in wisdom and understanding.  I pray that you are filled with the fruits of His Spirit, and do all that the Lord is commanding.  May all that you do be done in the Spirit, and done with a humble mind.  May you exhibit the love of Christ, being tenderhearted and kind.  My prayer is to see you strong in the faith, suffering for the sake of the Lord, knowing those sufferings glorify God, and please Him all the much more.  I am praying that you put on the whole armor of God; and that you may withstand in the evil day in the gospel of peace your feet walking righteously in the way of the Lord. 

Peace be to you, my dear sisters, and love with faith from our Lord.  Grace be with you all of the days, as you take up your sword.  I pray for you, my sisters in Jesus, that you endure until the end.  And may the words that the Lord speak to you be "Well Done My Friend"".  Please know my prayers are with all, I am grateful for all that you do.  You are all my friends, my sisters in Christ, and I really, really do Love You!!
