"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."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

"B"


...  B = BASIC BELIEFS ...

at least they are and have been for all of my life journey

GOD

“I BELIEVE THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD—FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT.” 2 Corinthians 13:14

PERSONAL GOD

“I BELIEVE GOD IS INVOLVED IN AND CARES ABOUT MY DAILY LIFE.” Psalm 121:1-2

SALVATION

“I BELIEVE A PERSON COMES INTO A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BY GOD’S GRACE THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.” Ephesians 2:8-9

the BIBLE

“I BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HAS THE RIGHT TO COMMAND MY BELIEF AND ACTION.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

IDENTITY in CHRIST

“I BELIEVE I AM SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE OF MY POSITION AS A CHILD OF GOD.”John 1:12

"DO IT AGAIN"
Elevation Worship
(Spanish)
{if you can sing this song with confidence, then uBelieve like iBelieve}
Rock Solid Promises to Believe
and keep singing
Believe
Darlene Zschech - Hillsong


This I Believe
WOW

is this

Worship On Weds.
or
His
Word On Weds.
or 
just another

Walk On Weds.
let's waltz as we walk with new strength and hope
on this first wonderful
Wednesday

still wondering about my verse and song for
my One Word On Wednesday
and every day for 2018
{leaning towards Isaiah 43:10 and a song from childhood}

trusting
God
has
many
aMazing
Ones
as
i Walk
and
BELIEVE
thru
this
Winter

{which is another book I just received-perfect devotional for me and MN life }

"Winter with God"

clearly my Daily prayer is to keep God first

Verses for the New Year of Renewal and Hope
(thank you Debbie McDaniel!!! these are great)
oh and what's a Walk without a
Whisper On Weds.

His Whisper that came:
"Watch what I will do for you"

"I Hear His Whisper"~TPT
{how I'd love to share this (His) Whisper completely!!!}

"...Never doubt My power, My grace, My surprising breakthrough on your behalf. Before this week is over you will see My glory shine through the clouds of darkness. You will see your enemies shrink back before you as you move out with My Name and My victory. Watch what I will do before the month is over. 
You will jump out into the new month with the songs of victory!"
Brian Simmons (TPT team) "I Hear His Whisper" (sorry, not sure which volume?)

2018

2018

... “Believe in the Lord Jesus ... " Acts 16:31
for now, but - my Bible Verse - yet to be determined

I do BELIEVE so this is more for someone else!
<><><>

Hoping to get back and share about this
but since I added it on the
One Word
page
I thought I'd better mention it here

and that I have many
YouVersion
reading plans lined up to start
out 2018 - probably too many
but I also have 2 other devotionals
as actual books that I plan to lean in and read

The One Year
Walk with God
by
Chris Tiegren

and

Beth Moore's
(actually I have two from her)

Believing God
and
Believing God
Day by Day

plus

I will be joining
Priscilla Shirer's study
at
LIFEWAY
starting
January 18, 2018


{since I already started a 77 day plan on You Version "UnShakable Hope" 
and his church's site
I will be continuing still through this as well with Max Lucado's church's
Oak Hills Church 
so you might have been misled to believe 
my One Word is HOPE or Strength}

 HOPE 
was my One Word in 2014

and
every year
I need and have found more of
God's Strength
in every Word, I've read and chosen

I'm hoping I find more
STRENGTH
in
iBelieve
with
GOD
and
all I
BELIEVE

I found this at One Word and since I don't do FB
I'm sharing it here as a reminder of my commitment to my
ONE WORD
PROMISE

"I promise to live out my One Word with commitment and intentionality this year.


When I live out my One Word, I will become a positive force in the world and make a greater impact.
I will use my One Word as a filter to provide laser-like focus and to help me live with power, purpose, and passion.
I expect to be impacted in all areas of life – spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, relational, and financial.
I believe that my One Word may change my circumstances, but it will change my character.
I will invite my Stretch Team of friends and family to challenge and encourage me on my One Word journey.
I will keep my One Word front and center by posting it in prominent places.
When experiencing challenges, I will use my One Word as an opportunity to learn and grow.
By living my One Word, I will discover God’s best for my life.
I believe that my One Word will not only impact me, but more importantly it will impact those around me.
I will ask God each day, “What do You want to do in me and through me this year?”
Throughout the year, I will celebrate all that I have experienced, learned, and discovered.
I believe my One Word will shape and mold me to become the person I am meant to be and to leave the legacy I am meant to leave."
