Today's Encouragement (9 December 2023)

Greetings godly sisters! 

I hope you're all holding fast to the Lord and His truth and putting down the flesh daily!

It's so important to walk by faith amen sisters. If you think of Hebrews 11 and what is listed there of what many went through it is encouraging that you are not alone! Others have gone through many things because of the faith and probably more than we ever will unless we're alive during the great tribulation. (Pretrib rapture is a lie by the way.) Few may the true saints be and scattered...but the Lord and our faith in Him will allow us to do well wherever we are! He must be our source of strength and joy and peace. 

The Lord will not forsake us! 

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Deuteronomy 31:8

Isn't that comforting. We know we must draw near to Him in humility for Him to draw near to us as He resists the proud. 

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

James 4:8-10

God really blessed the dry land here with a LOT of rain! Praise Him! Means I don't have to water the garden for some time too! 

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

Isaiah 35:6-8

Good cozy day to work on online ministry. The internet is a good place to go fishing for email addresses to send the gospel too. Of course you have to be disciplined and focused on the task at hand in wading through the things of the world and false religion. 

What I do is first check if a woman's blog/website has a contact page/email etc. Then if it does, spend a few minutes seeing who she is to decide what I send to her. I have a draft written up for those who may not know much about God and the gospel and a more detailed one for those who claim to be believers. Sometimes it can make you shake your head at what those who claim to follow Jesus do. Hope they repent. And I'm thankful to send them something to think about and warn them. I was thinking how it's not something we want to take lightly...giving the gospel to people. All you can do is do it and pray they receive it and be there for them if they want help and leave the rest to God. 

I was also thinking how you cannot and shouldn't be sharing the gospel to people if there's known sin in your life. This would be hypocrisy then. We don't want that! While we shouldn't wait until we think we are perfect at everything or we'll never do it but as long as we are striving to grow and walk in the Spirit in all things then we can freely share the good news which will help set others free too! Obviously we should never live in sin at anytime as that leads to death but hypocrisy is never a good thing either. 

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 

Matthew 23:3

Next scripture reading here... 

I made another audio unto the Lord and to bless you here... 

Let us all do our best in all things sisters and God knows our hearts! Hold fast and keep striving! 

Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.

Psalms 99:5

Love in Christ,
