My people do not know the
greatness of joy I have stored up as rewards for those who obey Me and do My
will. If you knew, you could scarcely contain yourselves and your desire to be
with Me could overtake you.
I have always rewarded well
those who work for the sake of the Kingdom of God, and now, as the end draws
ever nearer, where the trials are much greater, your rewards shall also be.
Worship Me. Do not fail to
truly worship Me.
1 Corinthians 2:9
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
Matthew 16:27
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of
his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his
works.
1 Corinthians 3:8
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are
one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Revelation 22:12
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is
with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Okay Lord
ReplyDeletewow what a word of encouragement! OK!
ReplyDeleteI wish he would reveal himself as comforter now. Years of family drama (anger,hatred,revenge,and feelings of running,isolation,and nonacceptance)have made me feel selfish for trying to live a life of love. It's like my family is so upset. I want to sympathize with my family, but the horrible timing that things happen...always getting worse when I want to plan being there for a friend or doing something beneficial for myself. I'm unsure if it's a sign to wait, or if it's just the enemy trying to stop me from living a life for God. I know that caving into the negativity around me is bad for me...because I am more sensitive to it, and have dealt with horrible feelings of hatred when I was a child. I don't want to cave in, but I don't want to be blind to it. Please pray for me...this has been going on for years and I want it to end. I believe it isn't God's will for so much hatred an unrest.

I can relate some to what you are going through. I've been there.
I had to forgive my mom who hurt me when growing up in order to be set free from her control over my life.
I would like to encourage you to read these two articles I wrote on forgiveness.

We have to forgive those who have done us wrong in order for God to set us free from the control those people have over us.

I know what you mean A. I didn't even know that I had unforgivness toward my parents until recently. I had to repent and forgive. Rely on Jesus and the power of the holy ghost to help because doing it on your own will cause you to cave into the negativity around you.
ReplyDeleteI pray that the Lord covers you.
HANG IN THERE, I HAVE TO CONTINUALLY FORGIVE MY EX FOR LEAVING ME FOR ANOTHER WOMAN AND MY MOM WHO STILL TREATS ME WITH DISDAIN AT TIMES. (SHE NEGLECTED ME WHEN I WAS A CHILD OUT OF HER EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY, WHICH CAUSED A DEEP SOUL WOUND.) SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, BUT GOD GIVES US GRACE/FRESH MANNA EVERYDAY AS LONG AS WE ASK HIM. BOTH PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE FORGIVING BLOOD OF JESUS. THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO AFFIRM WHEN THE ENEMY THROWS THEIR SINS IN MY FACE. I LOVE THE LORD JESUS AND WHAT HE DID IN THE CROSS FOR ALL OF US, SO I ASK THE LORD TO CHECK MY HEART DAILY AND HELP ME TO STAY CLEAR OF UNFORGIVENESS, ANGER, AND BITTERNESS. LOVE IN JESUS, SHARINE:)

ReplyDeleteThank you Pat and Elizabeth. It encourages my faith when believers love and lift each other up. I read the articles. I've been having flashbacks and dreams reminding me of the past...and hopes for the future. I believe it is time to release those old feelings and trust God to comfort and heal me from my lack of faith in love. I'm going to pray that God will help me forgive. These new experiences of living out my faith are making me feel exposed (some see this as a form of weakness, and the enemy tries to make me think the armor is ineffective). I desire to keep walking in the light.I know God's way covers me...and His ways are more powerful then the struggles I face.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in straight dysfunction, neglect and abuse. Im almost 40, and still not sure if my mom ever loved me. My family still today will lie on me, stab me in the back and reject me. God taught me that somehow the enemy knows, even as a child that you belong to God and will launch a strategic assault on you through unsaved parents, relatives ect...its the demons operating through them that dont like you. So please forgive, because we fight not against flesh and blood but, against powers, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12. Don't let the devil compromise your own salvation by holding onto unforgiveness, because you cant be forgiven if you dont forgive! Love instead! Before I visit my relatives I pray to God that it will be a peaceful visit, sometimes I bind up any unclean or foul spirits within them in the name of Jesus. And yes God blesses me to enjoy their company without all the mess. I keep my visits few and far between, because I know how they are. But I love them all very much, and pray constantly for their salvation. God loves you very much! you are loved, wanted and cherished by God. That's why enemy fights you so hard, he knows this and hates you for it. So he uses people/relatives to attack you. These people are not your real enemy, Satan is. Never forget that! Satan starts attacking God's children from the crib. I came out the womb under attack, and for years didn't know why I was just different from other people, isolated and rejected. I thought something was wrong with me until God told me who I was. That I am a child of God, and this world will hate me as it did him. The same goes for you. You are blessed! no matter what your present circumstances look like. You are deeply loved and valued by God. He called you before the foundation of the world to be his child. Go into prayer and pray ask God to comfort you, because the Holy Spirit is a comforter. Ask God to hold you and minister to your heart. Pray until a peace comes over you. Sit in his presence and cry if you need to. Its okay. Pray till you get a breakthrough. God loves you!!! Regardless of how people see you, you ARE blessed and highly favored with Him. Be Blessed!
DeleteThere is no reward to those who practice willful sin. Many will call Jesus their Lord, but in truth he is not. Matthew 7:21-23 states why. The did many works in his name except baptism. Tradition triumphed over truth.
ReplyDeleteBaptism in Jesus name is a requirement for Salvation.
