When We Are Overwhelmed – Anne Graham Lotz

When we are Overwhelmed…

I watched this yesterday and want to share it with you, these are the Bible verses:

Psalm 121:7-8,

“The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth and even forevermore.”

Psalm 46:1-2

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;”

Matthew 25:5

“But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.”

Genesis 6:9, 13, 14

“…Noah walked with God. And God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark…'”

Matthew 28:19-20

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Flexible Hearts

“The Lord knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.”

Psalm 37:18

“Whatever Jesus wants, Jesus gets” Pr David Demian, Watchmen for the Nations.

My Manager said once, “if our company decided to make airplanes, then I would make airplanes.”

2018 was the year of new beginnings

2019 was the year of new things, that never happened before

2020 is the year of shaking, for our Lord God’s unshakable kingdom.  Someone tweeted: “2020 is different, different”

We stand united with You Lord Jesus Christ! We continue to bless Your holy name, obey Your commands and walk in Your love and truth. You’re our Forever Priest

“For Such A Time As This”

Wayne Watson song

God has a plan for you all (Jeremiah 29:11)

“Whatever it is Lord”

Honesty, I heard this amazing, timely song on Touched By An Angel, same title, Season 6, Episode 1.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11

 

Jesus, Friend At Midnight

Luke 11:5-8, “And He said to them, ‘Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, “Friend, lend me 3 loaves; for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him”; and he will answer from within and say, “Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you”?

‘I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs'”

Luke 10:39, “And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.”

“One thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:42

Dear Jesus, how can You be so high above us and still be so down to earth and approachable? We love You.

Olive Oil is Good – Prophetic Dream

Exodus 25:6, “…Oil for the light, and spice for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense”

Dream:  walked into the kitchen, a man held out a large silver baking pan and asked what to use on it to coat it. I asked if he’s making a cake.  He laughed, ‘yes.’ I said ‘olive oil.’ He said, ‘that sounds bad. I said, ‘no, it’s good.’

Interpretation*:

  • The baker is the devil
  • The pan is what’s in his heart
  • Olive oil is the Holy Spirit

Dear Friends, I pray for discernment of good and evil for you and that you’re not distracted by counterfeit good things.

Bibles In Hands

Praise God, let His holy, mighty and true word go forth in all nations! And let the eyes of their understanding be enlightened, in Jesus’ name.

“The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

“Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”                                  Matthew 13:41-43

“I Will Stand On The Top Of The Hill”

Exodus 17:8, 9, 11, 13

“Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

“And Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.’

“And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 

“So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.”

“Stand up” I heard in the Spirit.

Praising You & raising my hands feeling Your holy fire, I don’t want to leave Your presence. Like Moses raising the rod of Aaron, You give me victory in the battle.  Lord God, give us victory in all our battles, in Jesus’ name.

 

Soldiers At War

“He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

“And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:                                                                                                              KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”                Revelation 19:13, 16

On God’s side; Jesus, Savior, Master and Lord

We’re not waiting to see who wins before deciding which side we’re on. We’re for the Lord.  (We know who wins: Jesus)

Martin Luther King Junior said only love can conquer hate.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”

  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 Ounces Softened Butter

  • 1/8 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

Combine egg mixture to flour mixture, add coffee, cinnamon and bananas, pour into pan. (*If you desire to soak the Bulgar wheat first; cover with boiling water in a separate bowl for one hour.)

Lentil Soup Recipe

Isaiah 40:1, “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Dry Lentils
  • 4 Cups Chicken Stock
  • 1/2 Onion, diced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, diced
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 3/4 Cup Diced, Canned Carrots*
  • 1 Teaspoon Rosemary
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Directions:

Heat onion in oil in a soup pot over medium flame until clear, add garlic and cook 5 more minutes.  Add lentils, chicken stock, rosemary, oregano and salt, bring to a boil, immediately lower heat to simmer 50 minutes or until beans are soft. Add cooked carrots in the last 15 minutes. *If you’re using fresh carrots, add them with the onions at the beginning to soften.

Ladle into serving bowls, there’s just enough room for dipping bread.  With chicken stock made from the bones, this is so rich, it becomes a new “comfort food.”

I pray you enjoy this in good health with family and friends, in Jesus’ name.
