God Consoles His Child

Dramatic Reading

As A Song 

God calls all born again Christians his children. God says in the New Testament, to Nicodemus, we must be born again. 

  

Sometimes God’s will is not our will, but if we remain faithful to God and keep going forward even through disappointments. God will enter them into his rest. This is peace with God. God promises those that will not stay faithful and continue to be faithful will not enter into his rest. In the song, God is encouraging his child that the gospel has been able to get into countries that have been closed. He encourages his child to continue to praise and honor him because his light has won over darkness in the hearts of those that believe.

The Bible Speaks For Itself John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. {again: or, from above} Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. {again: or, from above} 1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

Anybody who teaches the opposite of scripture is not teaching the truth.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; 

for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

HOPE

HOPE

Hope is the heart of all faith.

Our strength lies within the hope of all God's promises.

Precious is the hope that keeps us faithful and enduring.

Ever on is the joy of those who love and keep hoping in the Lord.

 Psalms 71:14 

 But I will hope continually, and 

will yet praise thee more and more.

It Is You Jesus, Who I Want To Please

It Is You Jesus, Who  I Want To Please

The blessing of Lord shall abide;

When we live to please and honor Him.

Like dew  from heaven  refreshing the earth;

Like fruit hanging from a healthful limb.

The blessing of the Lord shall remain;

When we remain faithful  and true in Christ.

Even though sometimes it's hard to see;

I remember His great sacrifice.

---------

The greatest blessing is you Jesus;

The greatest gift I've ever received .

And your blessing still abides on me;

It is you Jesus, who  I want to please.

You gave us the waters that flow free;

You gave the hope of eternity.

You  gave us the grace to face each day;

And all the blessing we find in thee.

Our lives are  in your hands each moment;

Our trust in your promised provision.

When we call upon your name  and pray;

You give us much needed attention.

--------

You give us strength, when we have no strength.

You restore our faith, when we need faith;

You give us joy when we have no joy;

You lead us in all your righteous ways.

The greatest blessing is you Jesus;

The greatest gift I've ever received .

And your blessing still abides on me;

It is you Jesus, who  I want to please.

that as ye have received

and to please God, so ye 

would abound 

more and more.

Just a Little Note: Faith And Love

Just a Little Note:

Faith and Love

Not too long ago I met a young lady while I was out walking.  She was probably around 25 years old.  She's attending college in Washington State. She was visiting her parents who live just a few houses up from us.   She was out walking her mom's golden retriever.  She wanted to talk about politics, when I noticed she repeated something several times. Our conversation weaved in and out into the topic of politics, religion and Christianity.  She kept on repeating "killing for Christ".  I responded with "Killing for Christ?"  What?  I believe in fighting for freedom and protecting our Country as a nation.  But killing for Christ? No.

We went on in our conversation, She said that she was a Christian but that she was confused.  She had been studying many other religious beliefs and had started doubting Gods Word.  I explained to her that if she was a Christian and was doubting God's Word she was already falling from the Faith.  I lovingly told her that anything that contradicts God's Word should not be trusted.  

God has made His Word simple enough for a child to understand.  That's why Christ said let the little children come unto me.  God can open the eyes of a child that does not have allot of this worlds knowledge.  God wants us to come to Him as little children.  Trusting Him with a childlike faith.  Sometimes people can become so educated that they become deceived by this world's knowledge  and become blinded to 

the things of God.

I've been busy trying to get my craft room organized.  I happened to see my scrapbook from years past.  I picked it up and looked at it noticed some things missing.  I noticed an article I put in it as a young teen.  The headline said... "Killing For Christ".  I didn't read it but I immediately thought of that young woman repeating those words to me, as though awaiting my response. I can't remember why I put the article into my scrapbook, nor do I know what it says at this time.  I haven't taken the time to read it.

The other thing that stood out about our conversation was when I mentioned that God hates sin.  She responded with, God doesn't hate because God is love.  God doesn't hate anything. 

Normally when I talk about scripture. The scripture just pops up into my mind as needed.. I know the Lord hates sin, God has brought judgment upon nations and people because of sin.  I did not argue the point because for some reason even though I know the Scriptures needed, my mind drew a blank.  

When I was at home I remembered the verses.

Proverbs 6:16 -19

16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 

 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

God is Love, but He still hates sin, which we are all guilty of in one way or another.

God doesn't not want us living in sin. He wants us to repent.  He wants us to turn to Him and trust Him.  He wants us to do these things because he loves us.

The Bible teaches us that God is love, but it also teaches that He hates sin and will judge sin.

Romans 6:1 -2

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Just remember without faith we cannot please God. 

Unbelief is one sure way never to be saved, never to see heaven, 

 never to know real hope or joy.

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.

 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"

Where Is Your Heartbeat?

Where Is Your Heartbeat?

Where is your heartbeat?  Where is your love?

Where is compassion, the bible speaks of?

Jesus wept, He wept for hurting friends.

Come forth, come forth my friend, live again.

Lazarus came forth and his heartbeat stirred:

For the Masters voice, "Come Forth" was heard.

It looked as though all hope had flown away;

But God had a miracle planned that day.

Come forth, my friend, let your heart beat again;

Be renewed, find hope , find strength in Him.

He will remove the rags of sin and then:

You can rejoice, with much joy  again.

Though things seem hopeless, the day be done;

There is  hope beyond the setting Sun.

Where no tears will ever wet a cheek.

Where no burden will  cast down  the week.

Arise and know twill be worth it all;

Remember this world is temporal.

Then death will not take another soul.

Where every child will be made whole.

Where every hurt will be healed with balm;

At  heavens thrown, in eternal calm.

Where the heart of love will beat evermore;

Where  blessings await, not known before.

Where is your heartbeat?  Where is your love?

Where is compassion, the bible speaks of?

Come forth, my friend, let your heart beat again;

No hope, No joy, No peace, without Him.

Come forth, my friend, let your heart beat again;

Be renewed, find hope , find strength in Him.

He will remove the rags of sin and then:

You can rejoice, and find hope again.

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.

In The Presence Of The Lord

In The Presence Of The Lord

The presence of the Lord:

Redirects my heart.

When I feel all alone;

When the way seems dark.

When fear takes hold of me;

When I'm feeling low.

When I pray to the Lord;

He strengthens my soul.

When the thunder crashes;

When the troubles roll.

When I feel, no one cares;

I know where to go.

To my heavenly Father:

I speak, in my tears.

He restoreth my soul;

Consoles all my fears.

The presence of the Lord:

Encourages me.

Gives me hope, peace and joy:

On life's troubled sea.

In the presence of the Lord;

Courage leadeth me.

I find courage to stand;

and courage to be.

Born

Born

Born, born into this world; 

that needed Him.

Born, born into this world:

To die for sin.

Born to give His life one day;

For you and me.

Oh the love of God how sweet;

A love story.

A Christmas story of love;

God sent His own.

His Son, a pure white dove;

From heaven’s throne.

Oh , glorious day it was;

On that bright morn.

Glory, glory Christmas day;

Jesus was born.

Hope was born.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Your Word

Your Word

Susan Y Nikitenko

August 9th,2012

Your Word has power to save the vilest soul;

Your Word can make the hopeless whole again.

Those blinded by darkness can see the light;

Your Word has the power to turn a heart from sin.

Your Word cuts to the quick, convicts the heart;

It brings a wanderer to repentance.

It reveals our filthiness and our shame;

It gives the broken more than another chance.

Your Word teaches us how to love all men;

Your Word makes known an open door to Him.

It announces your salvation through grace;

And that your blood cleanses us from all sin.

Your Word, so powerful, so real, so great;

Can make everything new in an instance.

That shattered life can stand and sing again;

Brokenness, turns to joy, the heart can dance.

Your Word teaches us to praise in battle;

To  trust, to be courageous, fearless.

For you are more than mighty, YOU ARE GOD;

Yet you are ever loving and near us.

Your Word causes evil to flee in fear;

Your Word proclaims your perfect holiness.

And your anger  towards disobedience;

It extends to the  repentant forgiveness.

Your Word, remains a light unto our path;

Your Word is medicine, your Word is pure.

Your Word is living water for the soul;

Your Word is steadfast and its precepts sure.

Your Word became flesh and dwelt among us;

Mighty God came to earth as holy child.

Because, you are love and you are mercy;

Your light and redemption  saves the defiled.

Thank-You For Your Word

Ps 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 Ephesians 1:7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

 Hebrews 12:15
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
 lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you,
 and thereby many be defiled;

God is Able

God Is Able

One of the great truths of God's Word that always gives me hope is that God's Word will not return to Him void.  Even if every attempt to share God's Word were to be intercepted by some unknown source, He promises our efforts will not be in vein.  Though it seems our efforts of love and faithfulness seem to fall to the ground.  We know that God will never lie and cannot lie.  If an enemy were to twist our motives and make our attempts to serve God to appear as something evil.  God knows the heart and has power over life and death.  He holds the very heart of our enemy in His hand.  Our hope is in Jesus, this life is temporal.   Let us look forward loving Jesus all the way. 

Though this life has many tears and disappointments, many failures and discouragements.  Our future is sure. His promises stand and our HOPE is alive.  God is most certainly able.  Just as He was able to deliver The three Hebrew children from the fiery furnace, just as He was  able to deliver Daniel from the hungry lions jaws, just as God is able to make all grace abound toward us , just as He is able to save to the uttermost those that come to Him.  He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

Continue in His hope.  Continue with joy.  Continue with faith, Continue with love, Continue with courage, Continue with strength, Continue with confidence. Continue in His peace.  Because God never throws His babies away and His Word never returns to Him void. 

How wonderful it is to be a child of God. 

Ephesians 3:20

Quilted In Love

Quilted In Love

God- see's the beginning:

God see's the final end.

Life is stitched - in His love;

And sings within the wind.

Like a- loving mother;

Crochets or quilts a gift.

God is quilting in His love;

With golden threads adrift.

When troubles and great trials;

Seem to crash- all around.

Not a sin-gle voice of cheer;

In this world - can be found.

We find ourselves asking;

Is our Lord in control?

Has He left me here alone?

Does He care for my soul?

In this world of trouble;

Confusing, though it be.

God's golden threads of hope;

Gives hope, when we can't see.

Stitching here , mending there;

With precision, designed.

He is busy stitching;

A quilt that's golden lined.

Like a quilt upon His knee;

He holds each child with care.

He knows all our weaknesses'

He knows when there's despair.

He knows all of our needs;

and our choices and plans.

He knows the pain that we feel;

Like the prints in His hands.

Each quilt is valuable;

A golden lined life displayed.

A quilt designed, unique;

With worth that can't be weighed.

Will you yield to His quilting?

Will you desire His will?

As He's quilting His purpose;

In humility kneel?

If a quilt lays down yielded;

God's golden threads will gleam.

And to the world around it;

Jesus will clearly be seen.

Romans 6:13

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

1John 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

John 15:13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
