Hello sisters!
Hope you are all well and strong in the faith! Here I am back with another day...to edify and encourage you sisters.
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Philippians 1:20
I love that! Boldness too...that's something we all need in this deceived world; boldness for Christ, His truth, and obedience to all His commands. I know it's something I have needed to grow in and still do no doubt. Being bold to stand up for His truth and die for Him. As a brother often says, how will we ever die for Christ when tribulation comes if we aren't obeying Him in everything today, daily, killing our own desires, and doing things that we don't want to do in our flesh.
We see so many running around and taking teachings from this teacher and that, not testing them thoroughly to the Word, nor inspecting the fruit of their lives, and not rejecting them when they find error and heresy.
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 5:6-8
I love that...sincerity and truth.
Let us keep up our fight against sin...knowing if we allow a bit of leaven (sin) in to either our own lives or the body of Christ...then we no longer have what we should...a pure holy bride of Christ.
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:2-3
We don't want our minds corrupted from the simplicity in Christ do we sisters. So let's cling to the Word with the truth in it.
And we can go on in childlike faith in God and the truths of His Word!
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Luke 18:16-17
So many make it complex. Or try to seek it with man's wisdom and logic...but we know it's by faith.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
And some more of God's creations to give Him glory for.
Ibis flying to their roost for the night....
The sun goes down on my day...
We look forward to the time when the glory of the Lord will be our light!
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Revelation 21:23-25
Let us sisters make sure we are preparing for that place...seeking first God's kingdom and righteousness, washed in the blood of the Lamb, born of His Spirit, obeying Him, and overcoming in Him!
Thank you sister for adding the scriptures on these pictures:-)
That's an appropriate scripture to go along with what I was just saying. I was just putting this all together and didn't plan it that way...so that's awesome. Praise God...He is light! We will have no need of the light of the sun!
What a great God we get to serve!
And thank you for sharing scriptures with me sisters.
OK so that's what I have for this day sisters! Lord willing I'll be sharing back here tomorrow. You strive on sisters! He is worthy!
I love you sisters.
Sister Michaela
