ISAIAH 61 says:

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."

Welcome to ALL!
No, it's not Christmas in Mexico still
I'm just counting God's Blessings every day!
Y'all are one of the BEST for me!
I like watching snowflakes fall like the stars YOU are in my life
I have COMMENTS CLOSED now, except FRI. and my SECRET GARDEN maybe SOS, but REACTIONS are available instead, see explanation here kinda. I still miss knowing who was here, so I added this linky, on my BLOGGER PAGE also. Just put your name instead of any "Title" to let me know who has passed by and can say:
I WAS HERE!
Here's why: On 1/24 my COMPUTER CRASHED, so I'm unable to SIGN IN to it, it's frozen. I don't know what's wrong or for how long. I try to check what I can from a public cyber but can't do that daily or for hours like I'm use to doing, so I'm very limited in what I can get done. Think God's trying to tell me some thing? Less time online? I'm sure I'll need a new computer rather than repair this here but don't see that happening here in these next 2 yrs. before I'm back home in USA. I'll be thinking and praying for you! Love y'all, pray and please don't forget me. God bless!

FAITH FOCUS FRIDAY FEATURE



Every Friday I FOCUS my FAITH with claiming a Promise from 365 promises and PRAYing with others FEARLESSLY for the needs of others. There is nothing better than a day filled by His Holy Spirit, praying, interceding and building our faith through God's Word as we claim His Promises to us.

Which Promise of God do you choose this week?
2 Corinthians 3:17;1 John 4:16Psalm 9:10Psalm 68:61 John 5:14Hebrews 11:61 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Heavenly Father, 

I do seek You with all my heart. May my heart be a heart of faith. May my faith increase each day. Help me to be diligent in seeking You. Thank You for rewarding those who seek You. Your reward is icing on the cake. 

Thank You for the excellent study that Wendy Blight and her participants did on all of Hebrews. For this reason, this verse stands out to me and has become much more meaningful.

I want to please You Father but You know I've had a hard time with being a people pleaser but I choose to seek and please You alone. Keep me from striving to please others or being concerned with pleasing them, let me please You first in whatever I do or say. I know that without faith it is impossible to please You. I believe in You and I believe You, both are important to me. I know You exist and I completely believe in Your existence, help me to show others that You are alive and love them as You love me. I love You so much! Thank You for loving me first even when I was but a sinner, You waited for me. May others fill that hole only with You and seek You to complete them in the precious Name of Jesus, I pray...

      Love you bunches and sending a BIG hug and many prayers,

  2. I chose the same verse, Peggy, Hebrews 11:6. I did not blog this. Father, I so want to have the kind of faith you so deserve. You have proved Yourself to me countless times. I don't want surgery again but if that is what I have to do I know in my heart, You will be with me. I firmly believe You can heal my body so I place myself in Your strong hands and trust You to carry me through to finish the plan You chose for me when I was born, in the name of Jesus. I love You so much and thank You for everything You have done in my life and my body. So, with heart, soul, mind and body I am in Your lovingly arms and hands. Amen.

    1. AMEN! my dear Alice... standing in agreement with your beautiful "From the Heart" prayer. Healing in Jesus name by His Mighty power of His Spirit and in His name by His blood... may it be released and flow from the top of your head right down your spine. Taking away any pain or problem for the glory of God once again. Hallelujah!

      And without faith it is impossible to please God, because Alice who comes to Him believes that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

      Alice is pleasing in God's sight as she earnestly seeks Him and a response to her many prayers for wisdom and guidance and healing. Alice believes in God! Alice believes God! We ask according to God's will and stand in the authority of Jesus' Christ for His best plan for Alice. Thank You Lord!

  3. I like #51 about God's love for us. I chose it after Denise did. :) I like the verse about how God hears us. You are in my thoughts and prayers, dear Peggy. Love you ~

    1. As you are in my thoughts and prayers also Cathy and your dear loved one's health and hopefully miracle of recovery too. Praying.

      You can choose any you'd like but both of the ones you mentioned are from 1 John (just different chapters).

      And we Cathy, have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and we that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in us. (KJV)You,me, Denise, Alice, Karen, Sharon ... and hopefully many more.

      And this is the confidence that Cathy has in Him, that, if Cathy asks any thing according to His will, He heareth her: And if Cathy knows that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. 1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) just for you but I was not sure if you use NKJV or just KJV.

      Nonetheless, this is a wonderful promise that we can stand together for S. and believe and claim. He does hear you, Cathy.

      I must have been here at the cyber about the same time you were visiting as I fixed my SOS but remember it's 2 hrs. earlier here. They're closed on Sun. but it was so good to see you here and such a great song you chose to go with the "Winter Light" theme of SOS, though it did not have to be, I can't wait to hear it later this week. Thanks so much Cathy! It's just not the same without you all in my daily life. I miss you too!

      Love to YOU and all the rest who pass by here. oops gotta go...

  4. I am picking Psalm 9:10. I find tremendous encouragement in the SURE fact that I know God, I trust Him - and that He is EVER faithful. He will never forsake me, nor will He leave me to muddle around in my own thoughts and understanding. He rewards those who seek Him - and He will guide those who turn to Him for wisdom.

    He is my LIGHT - the ever-present lamp unto my feet.

    Praise HIM!

    GOD BLESS!
