You took a shepherd boy
And made him a King
So I'm gonna trust you and give you everything
I'll be a conquerer
'Cause you fight for me
I'll be a champion claiming your victory

So give me faith like Daniel in the lion's den
Give me hope like Moses in the wilderness
Give me a heart like David, Lord be my defense
So I can face my giants with confidence
I'm gonna sing and shout and shake the walls
I won't stop until I see 'em fall
Gonna stand up, step out when you call

Have you noticed the hills at Silver Dollar City ? It is a great family place to visit, but for this lady going up and down those hills kinda makes me winded a little. Let me take you too Joshua 15. Caleb was a man who had a different Spirit. 40 years earlier he gave a good report of being able to conqueror the land. 10 spies gave an evil report so God led them 40 years in the wilderness. Now here they are occupying the land and Caleb wanted his inheritance. He is 85 years old and tells Joshua give me my mountain. Can you imagine being that old and asking for a mountain. ? Caleb was strong in body mind and Spirit. God kept him and gave him the desire to take the mountain. Now let's look at it Spiritually. How do we act when we see our mountain. Do we stay strong in mind and Spirit trusting God that we will receive a great inheritance. Don't let a mountain conquer you. Conquer it. We are more than conquerors through Christ. We are a victorious children of God. He will lead you. Speak to the mountain triumphantly declaring it be thoroughly removed and cast in the sea. Don't have a grasshopper mentality.

What would you do, what would you do
If Jesus came to spend some time with you
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two
If He came unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do
When you saw Him comin'
Would you meet Him at the door with arms outstretched and welcome
To your heavenly visitor
Or would you need to change some things before you let Him in
Like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been
Would you let Jesus walk right in or would you rush about to hide your worldly music
And put some hymn books out
Oh, I know that you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest
And all the food you would serve to Him would be the very best
And you'd keep assuring Him that you were glad to have Him there
That serving Him in your house was a joy beyond compare
But would your family conversation keep up its normal pace
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace
And what about the song would you sing, the books you like to read
Would you let Him know the things on which on your mind and spirit feed
Would you be glad to have Him meet your very closest friends
Or hope that they'd stay away until His visit ends
Would you take Him with you everywhere that you'd planned to go
Or maybe change your plans for just a day or so
Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on
Or sigh or sigh of great relief when finally he had gone
You know it might be interesting to know the things you'd do
If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you

Your greatest weapon in the middle of battle is worship because nothing makes the enemy flee faster than when he hears praise and gratitude lifted up to heaven during the hardest trials of your life. Paul and Silas were chained up in prison for preaching the gospel but they didn’t complain, instead they praised God and through that chains were broken, prison doors were opened, and lost souls were saved. Don't wait to worship God when you already have victory, praise Him now and your victory will come

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. I want to talk to you about discouragement. Remember the story of Elijah. He had just defeated the prophets of Baal. Called fire down from heaven. He had a tremendous victory. Then he made Jezebel mad and she threatened to kill him.The next thing you know Elijah is under a juniper tree having a first class pity party. He thought he was the last of the Gods prophets. God understood his weariness. The angel fed. God wasn't in the earthquake. He spoke to him in a still small voice. He strengthened him. Elijah was encouraged and outrun a chariot. He saw a vision of an abundance of rain. This was miraculous after years of famine. Oh and that Jezebel she got eaten by dogs. Elijah eventually was taken to heaven on a chariot of fire. I want to speak about discouragement for a moment. Sometimes things may get us discouraged. Sickness in body, exhaustion , worry maybe about a child. Someone reading this is praying for a wayward child. Keep praying. They are coming home. Sometimes just the cards of life get us caught up in things and we let down our prayer life our bible study time even attending church( not talking about during this virus time) we all get discouraged.. When you feel this way. Shake it off. Find a scripture to stand on put on some good praise music. Get plenty of rest and eat good. Relax. Keep on keeping on. Don't let the devil condemn you for getting down. Everyone gets discouraged sometime in their life. You are precious to God. Listen and you will hear him speaking in a still small voice. Look up and rejoice. You are his child and he loves you. He said Come unto me all he that labor and are heavy laden. He will give you rest. Also he said Let not your heart be troubled. Build yourself up in your most holy faith praying in the Holy Ghost. If you don't have the Holy Ghost seek him. Be endued with power from on high. If you need prayer I'm here anytime. Be encouraged my friend. Be encouraged

When somebody you know is backsliding, don’t treat them like they’ve just gotten a contagious disease. In times of trouble we should reach out to people, not pull away from people.
Whatever you do, don’t avoid them. Avoiding somebody you know is backslidding just drives them further away from God, and it’s what the devil wants––to get them alone so that he can continue to wage war in their mind.

He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” (Isaiah 53:3)

Sometimes we feel alone in the world. Jesus understands this feeling. In a very human sense, he was alone....
Today I feel led to talk about loneliness. Jesus understands. I always thought how wonderful it would be to go to Israel. Calvary and the tomb would be a place of great rejoicing. Jesus defeated Satan and took the keys of death hell and the grave and rose forevermore. He is seated at the right hand of God making intercession for us. Whatever we need he is there. What would it be like to visit the garden of Gethesamane. Jesus took 3 of his closest friends to pray with him. He knew he was facing tremendous torture and crucifixion. His friends kept falling asleep. He prayed and sweated great drops of blood. He found himself alone praying for himself. God sent angels to strengthen him. He knows what it is to be lonely.
Matthew 11:28-29
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

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.
Again I'll share a story from my life. I have proven God and found him faithful.
Last year Lonnie was in the hospital then went to rehabilitation. He was there for over a month and a half. I stayed with him the whole time in the hospital but I couldn't spend every night in the rehabilitation center. I had to work. Lonnie and I have been together since we were 16. Except for a few days apart we have always been together. Suddenly I was alone. We had great friends and a wonderful friends , a great church , my girls were wonderful. As helpful as they were. No physical person was with me in that midnight hour when I was alone. But.....Jesus and the Holy Ghost was there. His presence was so strong. I cried out unto him. He was and is faithful. The devil tried to attack me with depression and guilt and loneliness but I turned to God and found him very faithful. Lonnie suffered loneliness also. He missed me very much. As much as this was a time of great trial it was also a time of great spiritual growth. We had to trust God for everything. He was faithful. We proved him. I know in whom I have believed and he is WELL able to keep what I have committed unto him.
In my 40s I went through a time of great depression. My physical health was bad and I found myself in the grip of great depression. No one except Lonnie and God. It was a dark time but Jesus was there with me. I'm reminded of the story of footprints. During the hardest times of our lives Jesus is carrying us. When Elijah had a great victory then found himself physically exhausted and depressed. God showed up and encouraged him. Someone reading this is going through great depression. No one knows except God. You cry alone when no one sees in that midnight hour. You think you can't go to God with that. Depression is such a hush hush topic in the Christian world. You feel alone and like no one knows. Well I'm here to tell you God told me to tell you. He sees he loves you and he will strengthen you just as he did Elijah just as he did Jesus. In that midnight hour cry out unto him. He sees he caresand he will deliver you. I love you but Jesus loves you more
If you need prayer message me and it will be kept confidential. God bless you and keep you.

Twas’ 24 days into the month of May,

When 19 beautiful children stormed through Heaven’s gate.

Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.

They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.

They were filled with such joy, they didn’t know what to say.

They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.

“Where are we,” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.

“This is heaven,” declared a small boy. “We’re spending the rest of eternity at God’s house.”

When what to their wondering eyes did appear,

But Jesus, their Savior. The children gathered near.

He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.

Then He opened His arms and He called them each by name.

And in that moment was joy, that only Heaven can bring.

Those children all flew into the arms of their heavenly King.

And as they lingered in the warmth of His great BIG embrace,

One small girl turned and looked at Jesus face to face.

And as if He could read all the questions she had,

He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of Mom and Dad.”

Then He looked down on Earth, at the world far below.

He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow and woe.

Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,

“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!

I now send peace to all the hurting mothers and fathers,

Who instantly and senselessly lost their sons and daughters,

May this country be delivered from the hands of fools.

I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!

Vengeance is mine, I WILL repay

Every child Killer, WILL HAVE their judgement Day!”

Then He and the children stood up without a sound.

“Come now my children let me show you around.”

Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran;

All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.

And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,

“In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIGHT.”.......copied

Ephesians 3:12, KJV: "In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.".....We as Christian can have boldness to go before God's throne. We don't have to approach him shyly lacking confidence. ...

Hebrews 4:16

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. ....He tells us to come boldly to him. We may feel like we are clothed in filthy rags but because of the shed blood of Jesus his finished work when he arose. We are Spiritually clothed in robes of righteousness.
I feel led to share some stories from my life.
When I was 24 my daddy passed away. He had been in the hospital for routine tests and suffered a massive heart attack. They were able to get him back but he was going to die soon. I got the call from the hospital. I got a hold of my siblings and picked my mom up. When we got to the hospital they said daddy had minutes to live. They asked if anyone wanted to be with dad when he died. Of course that is a hard decision to make. I was the only one who wanted to go in and be with him when he died. I told chaplain and nursing I had to pray first. I turned around and got on my knees in front of everyone at a chair. I didn't have time to pray a passive prayer. I needed strength immediately. We were all close to dad. I was a very meek lacking confidence person but a holy boldness rose up in me. I prayed in the Holy Ghost boldly and entered the throne room. God gave me the strength to hold my daddy's hand as he entered eternity and he gave me strength in the days ahead.
Another story that comes to mind. Lonnie was working at a dog food manufacturing company. I got a call he had gotten a kind of acid in his eyes. They told me to hurry it was bad. I again needed to enter boldly to the throne. I didn't have time to call Pastor or Sister so and so. I had to instantly go to the throne for my husband. When I got to the hospital Dr said he had his eyes flushed so quickly there was no harm done his eyes were perfect. That's my God.
These are just 2 stories in my life but I want to encourage to be bold in your prayers. Also maybe you think you have sinned too much and God won't forgive you. You think you have fallen too many times surely you can't ask forgiveness again. That's a lie . Look at King David he sinned repeatedly but was quick to repent. God said he was a man after God's own heart. Remember the unjust judge he didn't fear God or man but because a woman wearied him he answered her. Well our heavenly Father is very just and forgiving. His son Jesus is our advocate and mediator. Jesus said Come unto me all ye that labor and our heavy laden and I will give you rest. You can pray and be assured God hears and answer will come in his timing. God bless You

Ruth was a foreigner. She was a widow. She was poor. In many parts of the world today she would be considered a nobody—someone whose future doesn’t hold any hope. However, Ruth found favor in the eyes of a relative of her deceased husband, a rich man and the owner of the fields where she chose to ask for permission to glean grain. In response to his kindness, Ruth asked, “What have I done to deserve such kindness? . . . I am only a foreigner”. Boaz, the good man who showed Ruth such compassion, answered her truthfully. He had heard about her good deeds toward her mother-in-law, Naomi, and how she chose to leave her country and follow Naomi’s God. Boaz prayed that God, "under whose wings" she had come for refuge, would bless her. As her kinsman redeemer, when Boaz married Ruth he became her protector and part of the answer to his prayer. Like Ruth, we were foreigners and far from God. We may wonder why God would choose to love us when we are so undeserving. The answer is not in us, but in Him. “God showed his great love for us by sending Christ while we were still sinners”. Christ has become our Redeemer. When we come to Him in salvation, we are under His protective wings.remember when we needed Mercy then mercy walked in

Reach out and touch the Lord as he goes by. You will find he's not too busy to answer your cry. He's passing by this moment your need to supply.Reach out and touch the Lord as he goes by. Jesus met the Woman at the well he met the man waiting by the pool of bethesaida. He met Jairus' daughter. He met Peter after the resurrection. Jesus said I am with you always even to the end of the world. I will never leave you or forsake you. He knows just what we need and when we need it. All we have to do is reach out. If we need Salvation just reach out and ask him into your heart. No matter where you been or what you have done. Ask him into your heart. He will save you and give you peace and Joy. If you need a comforter he's a friend that sticker closer than a brother. He loves you. He says come unto my all he that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Do you need a healing? Just reach out. Whatever you need just reach out. He's right here. Do you feel him. He's here just reach out as he goes by. Just reach out today. Now. Just reach out.
