Do You Know My Shepherd?
Ps. 23:1 Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need. Does He care about where we live, about what we have, and are we safe? Do we live in a safe neighborhood? A safe country? A safe world?

Whose Child Are You?
Ps. 127:3 Children are a gift from God; they are his reward. Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows to defend him. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. That man shall have the help he needs when arguing with his enemies. Deut 28:4 If you fully obey all of these commandments of the Lord your God, the laws I am declaring to you today, God will transform you into a great nation in the world. These are the blessings that will come upon you. Blessings in the city. Blessings in the field. Many children. Ample crops. Large flocks and herds. Blessings of fruit and bread. Blessings when you come in. Blessing when you go out.
God, The Great I Am
Is your life full of trials and tribulations? James says, “ Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.”
As Hazel and I were talking to Bobby Murphy, we got on the topic about divorce and how it is ruining Christians marriages. How Satan is out to destroy the family. Bobby ask us if we write what God put on our heart, so we did.
Is Anyone Sorry?
Then
Forgive. Please
My 22 year marriage ended in divorce. My mind was made up I didn’t want to ever be married again. I had been single for 6 years,when the Lord began to empress upon my heart He had something more for me. More for me Lord! I thought. I really hadn’t the slightest desire to talk, think nor could I even imagine getting married ever again. I couldn’t even pray about it. My heart had been wounded I thought beyond repair,but the Lord Jesus had the power to heal me. The Holy Spirit would want me to pray, all I had were tears. So guess what happened? No you’ll never guess. I’ll just have to tell you. The Lord called me to a forty day fast. Yes that’s right. You heard me. I had done many fasts before but never a liquid fast for 40 days. Oh I made it. I survived. On day 37 I woke up , my heart was changed, renewed, and all the hurt was gone. I felt clean and alive. The fast was over, God was with me all the way. He helped me to press through, I was free, and to this day I do not look back, or do I remember the hurt anymore. Praise you Jesus. For those He sets free are free indeed. I had a desire to get married.
Is Anyone Spirit Filled ?
1 Cor 3:1-4
3:1 Dear brothers, I have been talking to you as though you were still just babies in the Christian life who are not following the Lord but your own desires; I cannot talk to you as I would to healthy Christians who are filled with the Spirit. 2 I have had to feed you with milk and not with solid food because you couldn’t digest anything stronger. And even now you still have to be fed on milk. 3 For you are still only baby Christians, controlled by your own desires, not God’s. When you are jealous of one another and divide up into quarreling groups, doesn’t that prove you are still babies, wanting your own way? In fact, you are acting like people who don’t belong to the Lord at all. 4 There you are, quarreling about whether I am greater than Apollos, and dividing the church. Doesn’t this show how little you have grown in the Lord?

What really spoke to my heart here in Chapter 3 was four word’s filled with the Spirit. The Bible also says we have not a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, there is evidence of the gifts…
