I think  Friends are like angels sent down to earth to make good days for us, and help us find our way especially when we are going the wrong way and is lost. I have a F.R.I.E.N.D. in Jesus. He is my Best Friend and He is everything to me. He laid down His life for me. A friend is someone who accepts you just the way you are,  one who believes in you. A friend encourages you and is Someone who is trustworthy, who never forsakes you, who forgives your mistakes, who enjoys being with you, and who makes you laugh. A friend loves you unconditionally. Jesus is more than a friend to me.”Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you” (John 15:15 KJV) F- is for FORGIVENESS:  He forgives me from all my sins when I ask Him and cleanse me from all unrighteousness .(1 John 1:9) R- is for the  REWARD He will bestow upon me when He returns to earth. (Revelation 22:12) I- is for the INTEREST  He has shown in me even when I do not deserve it. (Matthew 18:12) E- is for the EVERLASTING gospel we must  tell everyone on earth before He returns. (Revelation 14:6) N-is for the NICE things He does for me even when I do not deserve it. (John 3:16) D-is for DYING on the cross for me because He loves me. (Luke 23:33) Thank you Jesus for been my friend help me to speak to you. ”And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend”.(Exodus 33:11 KJV)  Don’t forget to talk to Jesus today and make Him your Best friend. Jesus cares about you, and most of all He loves you.. Jesus is Trustworthy. Jesus is more than enough. Jesus Accepts you just the way you are. He will never leave you or forsake you. Most of all you can call upon Him anytime 24/7 , 365 days , He is never too tired and He will hear and answer you. He said  ”And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shall glorify Me.” (Psalm 50:15 KJV)  also “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”(Jeremiah 33:3 KJV) Beverley Shaw 🙂...

There is power in prayer,  when the prayers go up the blessings come down. That is so true because I have experience that so many, many  times in my life. But we must wait on the Lord. However sometimes when I pray to Jesus my Father I  take back my crucibles from the Master and then try to fix them on my own and I always make such a mess. But what I discover is that when I take back my crucibles with me and tried to fix them  myself  my father do not have them to work on. Therefore there is no answer coming from God and now I have a bigger mess for God to fix. But nothing is too big for my God.  This shows I dont have no patience, can’t wait,  forgetting that Patience is virtue. My grandmother use to say ‘patient man ride donkey’  which I have proven to be so true. Now as I continue through life’s journey with the help of the Holy Spirit I am learning to be patient and wait on God who is Faithful and His words are true. I am holding on  to His  promises and ”Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; (Romans 12: 12 NKJV)  Prayer can move mountains .’Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive”(Matthew21:21-22) NKJV. Every prayer that is sent up to God is heard and answered. Sometimes it’s not the answer we want and sometimes it’s not answered right away. ”Call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me”.(Psalm 50:15  NKJV) We just have to offer our sincere heartfelt prayer to Him. Put our trust in God and have faith in God. Pray, believing, trusting, hoping, and holding on to the hand of God’s Mighty Power and we will be more than conquerors. There is power in prayer because God is an AWESOME God. He said we are to ‘ask and it shall be given to us’Read Matt  7:7-11 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%207:7-11&version=KJV.  Whenever we pray we are to believe that God will answer, He said ”Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them”, (Mark 11:24 ) KJV………..

When we pray we shouldn’t be boastful and showing off in public to be seen by others as  if we are more holy and righteous than they are.  Jesus called those people  hypocrites. Jesus left instructions as to how we ought to pray. Pray to your Father in private who  is  in  the secret place. Your Father who sees you in secret  will reward you openly so others can see your blessings from  God. We should not use vain repetitions like the heathen do. They think that they will be heard  for their many eloquent words . Therefore we should not be like them. God  knows what we are in need of before we even ask Him.  Jesus left instructions as to how we ought to pray.  (Read Matthew 6: 5-8) KJV Holy Bible ”After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.  And lead us not   into temptation,  but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The   power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Matthew 6: 9-13 ...

  The light of the world is Jesus, and the darkness in this world is satan. Satan’s goal is to destroy God’s children (everyone) and also to keep us in darkness.  Satan is trying to kill us every day. If it was not for God’s Grace and Mercy he would succeed. If we could but get a glimpse, of the warfare going on around us between satan and God’s angels for our lives.  He is the author of lies and deceitfulness. ”For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places”.] Ephesians 6:12   When we are in the  light we can see clearly, but in darkness we cannot see anything.  In darkness we do not know where we are going because the darkness blinded our eyes. So in order to see clearly we must walk in the light. Jesus He is our guide and He will lead us. All we have to do is follow Him and do not take our eyes off of Him.  ”God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all”. (1 John 2:6 .) May God’s Holy Spirit  help us today to walk in the Light  and  abide  in the Light. We cannot do anything by ourselves, but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13) When we walk in the light there is absolutely no need for stumbling. But  when, or if  we should stumble we have a Saviour who is full of  Grace and Mercy. Because, ”If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. (1 John 1:9)   Not some but ALL unrighteousness. So today let us shine for Jesus by walking in His light and the reflection of the Light/ Jesus will illuminate others. The light of the world is Jesus. Shine Jesus Shine through us and let others see you living in us. Beverley E  Shaw  🙂...
