A Seasoned Servant Of God Has Encouraged Me Today

Pastor Elliott Osowitt

Romans 5:1-5

1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 We have also obtained access through Him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,

4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.

5 This hope will not disappoint ⌊us⌋, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Dear Bob and Kim,

I grew up hearing stories of the Great Depression from my folks and aunts and uncles. My parents and grandparents on both sides of the family did what they had to do during those very tough years. They grew gardens and didn't even own a tiller. There were no unemployment benefits. The government was not their savior as it is for so many today. Many died young because of the lack of health care. Many children died of pneumonia, polio, or other respiratory diseases before their fifth birthday. You only need to walk through an old cemetery and read the headstones to get some idea of the trials and tribulations of those who lived during the depression.

These people, our ancestors, went through a crisis of faith that our generation has never known. How did they come out? Well, if you know your history, at the end of the 1920's, known as Roaring 20's, the economy crashed. God's people shared their meager rations with each other. Many communities had a soup kitchen. Corn bread, biscuits, and water gravy were their 'manna' from heaven; a blessing of God. Food and clothes were no longer taken for granted. Praise was given to God for every little blessing of life.

Churches grew and new churches sprang up all over the country. The Bible was a text book in public school, paid for by tax money, and used as a primer reader in the home. Souls were saved.

3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,

4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.

Could your faith stand another crisis on the scale of the Great Depression? I believe the things you think you could not live without today would suddenly be viewed as useless, superficial, or unnecessary. Maybe what we would end up with in America are men and women, boys and girls with proven character and hope that endures. What do you think? Pastor Elliott

My Thoughts About This:

I think you are 100 percent correct! We live in a culture of the self-indulgent where excess feeds the need of our American soul. We need to get back to the basics. Whatever it takes for God to return us back to Him, heart to heart and spirit to spirit where we fully face our God, He will do. The Holy Spirit has told me every time I go to the grocery store to pick up something extra and store it, to pick up extra water and store it. I know something is up and I hope that I will be ready to help others because that is our call to God!

⁶While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly.

****My Prayer! I Place All My Expectation In You, Almighty God!*****

Psalm 62:5 (amplified) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Father heal and restore all broken relationships, I pray for Your reconciliation to reign.

Father God touch the people in Belle Glade may they COME AWAKE and walk in Your Light of hope. Touch those sacrificing for them, strengthen them and may the light of Your Salvation shout out of their sacrifices: Come AWAKE! God is alive!

Lord open the doors for Freda and Steve, help them to find the next step you have for their lives, make a way for them to sell their home according to Your Will, Purpose, Timing!

May God hold you up in His strength, May His plan unfold before your eyes in the perfection of His Kingdom purposes already at play in your life. AMEN!

Jesus touch Julie, hold her in Your strong mighty hands, be her healer, be her peace be the all of her everything today. May a way for her, a path to the wholeness of body, strength of spirit. Jesus.

SUNDAY SERMON NOTES!#SGLEAM

Pastor Bruce Frank http://campus.316networks.com/biltmore-baptist-live/

Matthew 10:32-38

32 Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me [out of a state of oneness with Me], I will also acknowledge him before My Father Who is in heaven and confess [that I am abiding in] him.33 But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven.34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.35 For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a newly married wife from her mother-in-law--36 And a man's foes will be they of his own household. 37 He who loves [and takes more pleasure in] father or mother more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves [and takes more pleasure in] son or daughter more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me;38 And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also] is not worthy of Me.

Confession: Declare-Identify With

33 But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven

Deny-Reject-Renounce When pressure comes you vacillate

This is not a one time rejection that this scripture is talking about, it is a pattern in your life where you deny Christ

Definition Of Followship! Followship Is An Everyday Choice! Matthew 10:38 Carry Your Cross! Follow Jesus! Put The Sacrifice Back In Your Salvation!

Matthew 10:38 And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also] is not worthy of Me.

Salvation! Is this going to cost me something? Yes! Put the sacrifice back into Salvation! Just Do It!

http://kimberlymac.blogspot.com

Don't play on the enemies playground of thoughts from your circumstances. Focus on Jesus! Think on His hope-promise-possibility! http://kimberlymac.blogspot.com

It is difficult to be Christ-Centered when we let our circumstances overwhelm our thoughts with "What If" anxieties! #SGleam http://kimberlymac.blogspot.com

People see Christ in us when our mind is on Jesus in all of our life, even terrible situations! God is in control! #SGleam http://kimberlymac.blogspot.com

QUOTES THAT ENCOURAGE-INSPIRE GROWTH-CHANGE ME

Don't pray to escape trouble. Don't pray to be comfortable in your emotions. Pray to do the will of God in every situation. Nothing else is worth praying for.

In His Eyes

Sometimes His eyes were gentle and filled with laughter and sometimes they cried.

The eyes that see hope in the hopeless – see through the fog to the need.

These eyes look down from heaven to the deepest part of me. Jesus! His eyes are always upon us and no matter where you go, you will be in HIS EYES! AWE-GOD

He Who spoke peace to the water, cares more for our hearts than the waves. The voice that says you are forgiven still says we are forgiven today.

In the silence God Whispers: You are my most precious creation, I gave my Son for you!

No matter where we go, we are always in God's Eyes!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHlbnNUHQGI&NR=1

Be Still And Know

Be still and know that He is God. Be still and know that He Is Holy!

Before the Prince of Peace, the Noise of clamour ceases.

God is faithful! Consider all that He has done. Stand In AWE- Be Amazed! Know He Does Not Change! Be Still!

Have You Bowed Today?! Bow In Silent-Submissive-Reverence! Be Amazed By our AWE-GOD! Be Still And Know Him Today! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHlbnNUHQGI&NR=1

His strength is perfect… I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength, but sometimes I wonder what He can do through me! No great success to show, no glory on my own, yet in my weakness He is there to let me know, His strength is perfect, when our strength is gone. He'll carry us, when we can't carry on! Raised in His power, the weak become strong! His strength is perfect!

We can only know the power that He holds when we truly see how deep our weakness goes

He hears our humble cry and proves again… His strength is perfect, when our strength is gone! He will carry us, when we can't carry on!

When Tears Fall We Are Never Alone!

I have known sorrow, I have known pain, but there is one thing I will cling to God's Faithfulness

When hope is lost, I call you savior. When pain surrounds, I call you healer. Through the darkest night of my soul, You surround me, sustain me… My defender forevermore. When hope is lost, I will call you Savior. When pain surrounds, I call you healer. When silence falls, you will be the song within my heart! You are so good to me, so trustworthy. I call you Savior- I call you Healer- You are The song in my heart. I will praise you, still I will sing to You. Jesus! Through the suffering, yet I will sing to You! You are hope-truth!

Pain-Tears-Hurt can surround us at times! Jesus-Healer-Defender-Hope-Truth= The Song In Our Hearts! http://youtu.be/6mnN-U1Lai8 #tworship

Psalm 40:3

a.w.tozer quotes from "the knowledge of the holy"

Whatever God is, and all that God is, He is in Himself. All life is in and from God, whether it be the lowest form of unconscious life or the highly self-conscious, intelligent life of a seraph. No creature has life in itself; all life is a gift from God.

God has a voluntary relation to everything He has made, but He has no necessary relation to anything outside of Himself.

It may be stated as an axiom that to stay alive every created thing needs some other created thing and all things need God.

The river grows larger by its tributaries, but where is the tributary that can enlarge the One out of whom came everything and to whose infinite fullness all creation owes its being?

Since He is the Being supreme over all, it follows that God cannot be elevated. Nothing is above Him, nothing beyond Him. A.W. Tozer
