The Lord Hath Spoken

The Lord Hath Spoken

The sun is shining, like satin lining;

 Across the wet branches of the trees.

The birds have been singing songs all day long.

Spring has come forth - flourishing with glee.

God has given us joy and life in Him;

Just as a new  spring morning  happens.

Just as a new beginning gives hope;

Jesus revives willing hearts again.

The chill of winter has passed at last;

We see the light through the open clouds.

Nature has sprung up with encouragement;

A reminder which speaks of God so loud.

His goodness and His love in creation;

His salvation, His forgiveness.

His joy, His light, the life He's given us.

Redemption from wintry bitterness.

Oh  joy, the Lord hath spoken through nature;

In ev'ry  flower that arises.

In ev'ry tree that brings forth new blossoms.

Each springtime brings us new surprises.

As we feel the presence of our God's love;

Oh Let us praise Him, Let us praise Him.

Let us recognize Him, give Him glory;

For springtime is a blessing from Him.

If You're Feelin' Downhearted

If You're Feelin' Downhearted

If your feelin' downhearted;

Just feelin' downright sad.

Life has given you lemons;

And your face is lookin'  mad.

It seems like nobody cares;

And you just don't know why.

Your lookin' down at the ground;

Livin' life with a sigh.

Keep looking up to heaven;

Our promised  home above.

God has not forsaken you;

Nor turned from you His love.

He is ready to comfort;

When you call on His name.

He gives power to praise;

He takes away the pain.

He helps you survive each day;

By finding hope in Him.

He encourages our soul.

When we put our trust in Him.

His compassions are faithful;

His love is more than real.

He is aware each moment;

Of how you really feel.

The Lord is good unto us;

His mercies have not failed.

More than conquerors we are;

In Him we shall prevail.

Live your life in His presence;

Let His Word speak to you.

He will heal your brokenness;

And make each day brand new.

Lamentations 3:22 

It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

Get Busy Believe 2 Poster

Follow Here To Read Get Busy Believe 1

Get Busy, Believe 2

It's time to roll up your sleeves and get busy, believe;

That God is still God in a world that's deceived.

He is alive, He is well, He is faithful and true;

If you remain  faithful,  His blessings abide on you.

Though you may feel down, see all the trouble around;

Be joyful  and know our hope, we are heaven bound.

Let us by grace rise above the sorrow we feel;

Because God is our refuge, our strength,  He is real.

God has no joy in sins convoy, it destroys.

God still hates sin and all satan's clever decoys.

When it seems the devil has won the war,  teardrops fall;

Such grief , because Christ himself grieves within us all.

We can still shine for Jesus, in a very dark world;

Casting all our cares, and our fears upon the Lord.

We've already won, when we keep loving  Him.

Rejoicing, praising with hope, and resisting sin.

It's time to roll up your sleeves and get busy, believe;

That God is still God in a world that's deceived.

He is alive, He is well, He is faithful and true;

If you remain  faithful,  His blessings abide on you.

Though this world may harden to the things that are right.

We are bound for a home where there is no more night.

Where springs of joyfulness,  will fill those in pure white;

Where great our rejoicing, in that city of light.

Reading

 Luke 13:3  - I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Reading - John 15

"When we are born again - Jesus comes and abides in our heart.  Then is when we can too be grieved like God over sin and grow a hatred of it.  God hates sin but because of love He calls for repentance."   "Susan Y Nikitenko"

God Is Your Forever Best Friend

God is Your Forever Best Friend

Are you weary in well doing?

Half hearted in your care?

Don't you want to be a blessing -

To people everywhere?

When none seem to appreciate;

The time you've put in.

The sacrifices you have made;

Are all judged once again.

Are you feeling kind of empty?

Feel wounded by a friend?

Are you finding it's very hard:

To ever trust again?

God is your forever, best friend;

Be persistent and pray.

He is there for you , He loves you.

You will see fruit one day.

When discouragement has spoken;

In both actions and words.

God's testing our faithfulness;

When life has thrown it's curves.

Our tears are counted in heaven;

Our prayers attended to.

Our grief never goes unnoticed;

He's attentive to you.

God is your forever, best friend;

His love will never end.

Praise Him, love Him, With  your full heart.

You will find joy in Him.

God is your forever, best friend;

There Is Nothing - 2

There Is Nothing 

 I have a Savior who is bigger than my problems:

'Cause His hands have made the galaxies.

There is nothing too big, there is  nothing too wide;

'Cause His hands have made the crystal seas.

If He can make a seed as tiny as can be;

Grow one day to be a forest tree.

Then I know He can lead me beside waters still.

Through all of this life's  calamity.

I have a Savior who is bigger than my problems:

'Cause when He speaks the night turns to day.

There is nothing too hard, there is nothing too great:

'Cause even the winds, His voice, obey.

If He can build our body with a beating heart;

Give us minds that create and plan.

Then surely through the struggles and heartaches of life;

Our Lord can give us grace to stand.

I have a Savior who is bigger than my problems;

'Cause His hands placed each star above.

There is nothing beyond, there is nothing to far:

'Cause  His hands have made all things in love.

If He can know our name and even know our frame:

Before we were formed within the womb.

Then surely He can form each hour in each day:

When within our day we give Him room.

Encourage Yourself - Corrections

Encourage Yourself

 Encourage yourself, in  the things of God;

Encourage yourself, in all that's right.

When this world seems like it's upside-down;

The darker the world the brighter the light.

Encourage yourself, In the things of God;

Encourage yourself , be a shining light.

When things  out of control, trouble your soul;

Encourage yourself, keep fighting the fight.

Encourage yourself, in the things of God:

Encourage yourself, because God knows best;

Though you may feel low, your heart downcast;

Speak to yourself in the songs of the blest..

Encourage yourself, in the things of God;

Encourage others along the way;

Making melody  in your heart to God;

Encourage yourself from day to day.

1 Samuel 30:6b

...... but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

Listen:

I know I'm not the best singer in the world, but this song could
be taught to children when teaching them about encouragement.

Be An Encourager

Be An Encourager

The bible teaches  us to be encouragers.  An encourager helps people get better at what they do or keeps them going when it would be very easy for them to quit.   Though there aren't many verses in the bible that use the word.   There is one particular verse that sticks out to me.  The bible teaches us, through David's life, to encourage ourselves in the Lord.  David encouraged himself in the things of the Lord.  The more we encourage ourselves in the right direction, the more encouraging we will be to others in their time of need.  I think it's very important that we learn to first encourage ourselves in the things of God.  We then can stand when no one stands with us, but God himself.

People may think you're off your rocker, if they see you speaking to yourself, but the bible clearly tells us to speak to ourselves.  So if you encounter someone speaking to himself or herself, remember Hanna, Hanna was grief stricken over not having a child.  She was accused of being drunk with wine.  But she prayed allowed with tears, in her grief of being childless.  Of all people, It was the Priest who accused her of being drunk.  Instead of being encouraged she was accused.

There will be times in life no one will encourage you, so you'll need to encourage yourself as David did.  David was a singer of hymns, praises and spiritual songs. It was part of his everyday life.  In the book of Ephesians, the bible tells us we are to speak to ourselves in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs and to make melody in our hearts.  David continued to sing of the Lord and to the Lord even through some of his deepest sorrows.

When we read about Jesus we can find Jesus constantly being an encouragement through his many promises.  His promise of eternal life and forgiveness, His promise of preparing a place for us. His promise of never leaving us.

 Paul was an encourager in some of the things he said, something he asked in Galatians to someone who was discouraged.

Galatians 5:7

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

 Paul encourages us to continue in faith, continue in brotherly love, continue in the race set before us.

 Barnabas was an encourager, as a matter fact,  his name means "son of encouragement."  He encouraged John Marc when Paul refused to. 

Again and again the bible teaches us to be an encouragement to other believers by what is said and by what is done.

God himself encourages us through his presence in our lives as we pray and spend time with him day by day.  That's why we should be faithful in our prayers, song and devotion to him. He gives us strength for our journey, whether be good or bad. 

Let us remain faithful in being an encouragement to ourselves and to others.  Keep a good heart attitude.  (Keep Running - Galatians 5:7)

Ephesians 5:19

 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;1 Samuel 30:6b

but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

Be A Blessing Each Day

Be A Blessing Each Day

Have you ever thought that you could be;

The answer to somebody’s prayer?

That you could be the answer to a need;

That one in whom the Lord wants to be there?

If the call of God fell upon your ear;

And all mountains removed from the way.

Would you be willing to be a blessing;

The answer to whom, somebody prayed?

Sometime people need people to care;

Sharing God’s love, and brushing their tears.

God’s called us to be a blessing each day.

Even if all we can do is pray.

There are many ways to share a blessing;

Take time to listen, take time to share.

A smile or a word of encouragement;

Are always good ways to show that you care.

Be a blessing each day, a blessing each day.

Be a blessing to someone, to someone today.

Be a blessing each day, a blessing each day.

Please be a blessing to someone, to someone today.

Keep True To The Faith (Song)

  Keep True To The Faith

God commands us to be a light;

He commands we do what's right.

He wants us to live faithfully;

Living by faith and not by sight.

He sees the things that are unseen;
He knows our thoughts and where we've been.
He knows the lies of evil men;
His justice will be dealt to them.

He knows them, who are true to Him;
He teaches us to hate our sin.
He molds us into His image;
Guides us along life's pilgrimage.

Chorus:

Keep true to the faith;
Keep true to the fight.
We live in an age;
We must do what's right.

It's never too late;
To turn to the Lord.
Don't be discouraged;
Rejoice evermore.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Dust Yourself Off



 Dust Yourself Off

Put on the armor of the Truth;
Put on the armor of the Lord.
 Resist the lures of the devil;
And walk worthy in this world.

 

Walk in the footsteps of Jesus;
Walk in His power and His might.
Trust in the power of His Word;
Stand firm in this spiritual fight.

 

Dust off the failures of your past;
Gain courage from our God above.
Continue on facing heaven;
Serving faithfully in His love.

 

Because every moment  counts;
And every soul precious to Him.
We effect each person we meet;
Get up and serve the Lord my friend.

 

Walk in the paths of renewal;
His blood is on the mercy seat;
Trust in the power of  His grace;
Live not in the swamp of defeat.

 

Be courageous, pray and repent;
Dust yourself off, and stand again;
We are more than over comers;
For We can do all thing in Him.

 

God said it and I believe it;

He will supply the strength we need.

Follow, trusting Him all the way;

And let Him always take the lead.

He Will Make A Way

He Will Make A Way

_________________________________________________

Susan Y Nikitenko

April 3rd, 2012

He will fight our battles for us;

He will make a way.

He will bring His children vict'ry;

When we humbly pray.

When we are blinded by a storm;

Hard to understand.

He sees the good and sees the bad;

All across this land.

When it seems our efforts worthless;

And the outcome bleak.

Still we've  learned to love our Savior;

And to boldly speak.

So if it seems the battles ended;

And doesn't seem fair.

God still holds the world in His hand;

Our home is temp'ral  here.

Be not distressed ,nor be afraid;

We are pilgrims here.

We have the Savior in our hearts;

Who comforts all our care.

Let us continue to rejoice;

In our risen Lord.

Who won the vict'ry long ago;

With love as His sword.

 2Choronicles 7:14

 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Just a Prayer Away (Song)

By: Susan Nikitenko

2009

Does your heart feel burdened;

With a load of care?

Are you slowly fading;

Down in life’s despair?

Do you feel like quitting;

Throwin’ in the towel?

Just remember my friend;

Stop and pray right now.

(Chorus)

Peace ... is just a prayer away

Hope ...you can have it today

Love...it will lighten your way

Call upon the Lord and pray

Safe.... into His loving arms

Help...Through all of life’s alarms

Strength...to stand from day to day

Call upon the Lord and pray

Are you filled with worry?

Do you feel afraid?

Are all your problems;

Leaving you dismayed?

Are you crying my friend?

Are you hurting today?

Just remember my friend;

Don’t forget to pray.

(Chorus)

Peace ... is just a prayer away

Hope ...you can have it today

Love...it will lighten your way

Call upon the Lord and pray

Safe.... into His loving arms

Help...through all of life’s alarms

Strength...to stand from day to day

Call upon the Lord and pray

Call upon the Lord and Pray

He'll Move Your Mountain

 

He'll Move Your Mountain

(song) By: Susan Y Nikitenko

April 12th, 2011

It's faith that moves mountains.

It's faith that will please;

Our Father in heaven;

Who witnesses these;

A child that will love Him;

Who prays ev'ry day.

A father, a mother;

Who teach God's true way.

A tongue that will speak truth;

A heart that is right;

A longing to serve Him;

With all of our might.

Faith is the victory;

The old Hymns proclaim.

Our God has moved mountains;

And He's still the same.

The God of the Bible;

Moves mountains today;

For those who will trust Him;

And humbly obey.

He will move your mountain.

He will part the sea.

He'll answer from heaven;

Providing your need.

He cares for His children;

And He hears their cry.

Our Father of mercy ;

No doubt, will supply.

So don't get discouraged;

And keep to the test.

Tell Jesus your problem;

And He'll do what is best.
