Joshua 18:3 How long will you delay taking possession of what the Lord has given you? Secrets of how to live in the land of blessing Within a Christian, a fountain of life must be discovered. Pressing into that land of blessing means self-denial and sacrificing worldly habits and sins. There is no time to take a breather. No war is won on furlough. Do not cease expecting God to do great things. Principles to Follow Safeguards Love is of God - God is love John 14:21 The person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by My Father, and I, too, will love and reveal myself to him. To enjoy salvation and living in spiritual power to the full is a great blessing. |

Joshua 24:15 Choose you this day whom you will serv; ...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Fear the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and truth Living Victorious in the Christian life is the key that unlocks the door to a new revelation of truth, a more profound experience of spiritual life, and a new anointing for the service of God. When truth takes hold of my heart, it becomes part of my experience. When I can speak of things I know and have learned, things I have proved and felt, Christian service is no longer overworked but overflowing. Philippians 1:6 I am convinced of this, that the one who began a good action among you will bring it to completion by the Day of the Messiah Jesus. Press on with God and be hungry for all He has for you in Christ. Claim Him by faith. Your experience enlarges as your capacity increases, your life becomes greater, and your self becomes smaller, and Jesus Christ becomes the altogether lovely One (Song 5:16) "To myself, I will show a heart of steel, to my fellow man a heart of love, to my God a heart of flame." Augustine |

1 Peter 4:17-18 The time has come for judgment, to begin with the household of God. And if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who refuse to obey the gospel of God? "If it is hard for the righteous person to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and sinful person?" (Proverbs 11:31) So then, those who suffer according to God's will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do what is good. The only way to keep the soul healthy is to commit it to God by prayer and patient perseverance in well-doing. To Obey the Gospel of God To obey the gospel is to act by God's will. (Romans 14:7-8; Ephesians 1:11) To obey the gospel means: Believing in God the Father (Hebrews 11:6; John 10:38; John 11:25-27; 14:8-11) Believing all that He has done for us in Jesus Christ (John 3:14-16) putting faith and trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior: "And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life." Repenting of sin (Acts 3:17-20); 8:22; 20:21; James 4:8-10) Discipleship Submit to Him and obey His Word (John 14:15, 21, 23; 15:10; 1 John 2:3-6, 3:21-24; 5:3) Die to selfish desires (2 Corinthians 5:15; Galatians 2:20; 1 Peter 4:2) Take up your cross and follow Jesus (Matthew 16:24) Humbly serve others, loving them sacrificially (John 13:12-17; 15:9-14; 1 John 4:7-21) Suffer for the sake of Christ (Acts 14:21-22; Philippians 1:29; 2 Timothy 3:10-12; James 1:2; 1 Peter 3:14) Live for Christ - make it my aim to do His will and please Him in everything (Romans 14:7-8; 2 Corinthians 5:9, 15; 1 Peter 4:2) Obedience will make you worthy for His kingdom My aim is to do His will and please Him in everything. |

Proverbs 16:9 A person plans his way but the Lord directs his steps I may think I am making my own way, but in reality the Lord is leading me through interesting paths for my discipline and blessing. Proverbs 16:1 People plan but the end result is from the Lord Proverbs 16:3 Entrust your work to the Lord, and your planning will succeed. Recognize and respond to opportunities God sends your way.

Joshua 3:5 Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you. I must expect and prepare to pass ways I have not passed before. But in these paths of life, I may walk in bold cheerfulness - whether called to suffer pain, persecution, or poverty, I am following the Author and Finisher of my faith. (Hebrews 12:2) Faith will see the prints of the Redeemer's feet, which I will follow. John 14:3 If I am going away to prepare a place for you, I will come back again and welcome you into my presence so that you may be where I am. Take my life and let it be Take my hands and let them move Take my voice and let me sing Take my silver and my gold; Take my will and make it thine; Take my love; my Lord, I pour Take My Life and Let It Be - by Frances Ridley Havergal |

John 9:1-3 As He was walking along, He observed a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him. I must do the work of the one who sent me while it is day. The night is approaching when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Jesus healed many who were blind by disease or accident. Here, He cured the born blind. This showed His power to help in the most desperate cases and the work of His grace upon the souls of sinners, which gives sight to those blind by nature. The blind man could not see Jesus, but Jesus could see him. Charles Spurgeon tells a story of an elderly Christian born blind and a happy saint. One day, speaking with another believer, he said, "You know, I have so much more to give thanks for than you." "What! More than I?" the other exclaimed. "why, I have been able to see for years!" The blind man looked up with those sightless eyes. He said, "Oh, yes, but you have had to see so many things that have been disagreeable and distressing, so many faces that were unkind and angry and unholy, but the first face that I shall ever see will be the face of my blessed Savior, who loved me and gave Himself for me. So, I have more to be thankful for than you." It takes the grace of God to enable one to speak like that. Settle in your mind and put your heart's trust in Him so that someday you will have reason to thank and praise Him even for the things that have caused you the greatest sorrow and made you weep the bitterest tears. |

Proverbs 4:23-27 Above everything else guard your heart, because from it flow the springs of life. never talk deceptively and don't keep company with people whose speech is corrupt. Let your eyes look directly ahead; fix your gaze straight in front of you. Carefully measure the paths for your feet, and all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil. Lately, a feeling of inevitable change seems to lurk around me. There are so many fronts on which change can occur. Change, in the past, was mostly unexpected. Now, change is inevitable. There will be changes in parents as they get older. There will be changes in family members that deal with health issues. There will be changes with children as they grow up and make their way. But my constant is the Word of God. In this time when change is no longer unexpected, Scripture must be my simple revelation as to what God will do for me, in me, and through me. I must have quiet faith in His sufficient grace. How can I be compassionate on this day? How can I mourn what has been lost but give care outside of myself and my pain - for I am not desolated. Allow me to see this burden transformed into a blessing. O Lord, help me to be a godly visionary who sees the invisible, chooses the imperishable, and does the impossible. Help me measure my problems by the greatness of God, not by my weakness and inexperience. Please help me to stand by faith like Nehemiah and change my world. James 4:7-8, 10 Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. |

Hosea 10:12 Sow in righteousness in your own interest, reap in gracious love, break up your own unprepared ground; It is now time to inquire of the Lord, until He comes to pour out righteousness for you. Cleanse your heart from all corrupt affections and lusts, and be a broken and contrite spirit. The ground of your heart can only be broken up by the Word of God ministered in the energy of the Holy Spirit.Proverbs 11:18 evil people earn deceptive wages, but those who plant righteousness are truly rewarded. Eccl 11:6 Sow your seed in the morning, and don't stop working until evening, since you don't know which of your endeavors will do well, whether this one or that, or even if both will do equally well. Isa 32:20 How happy you will be, sowing your seed beside every stream, and letting your cattle and donkeys range freely. James 3:17-18 the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good deeds, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is grown from the seed of peace planted by peacemakers. James 1:2-4 consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. but you must let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. |

John 15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love. 1 John 2:3-6, This is how we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we continually keep His commandments. The person who says, "I have come to know Him," but does not continually keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth has no place in that person. But whoever continually keeps His commandments is the kind of person in whom God's love has truly been perfected. This is how we can be sure we are in union with God. The one who says he abides in Him must live the same way He Himself lived. You CANNOT Hate! Surely we should love those whom God has loved, and so loved. The Holy Spirit grieved at selfishness, will leave the selfish heart without comfort, full of darkness and terror. By what can it be known that a man has a true sense of the love of Christ for perishing sinners or that the love of God has been planted in his heart by the Holy Spirit if the love of the world and its good overcomes the feelings of compassion to a perishing brother? Listen to your conscience. Does it condemn you? The Spirit of God works a change; in all true Christians, it changes from Satan's power to God's. 1 John 3:21-24 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God. Whatever we request, we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him. And this is His commandment: to believe in the name of His Son, Jesus the Messiah, and to love one another as He commanded us. The person who keeps His commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure He remains in us: He has given us His Spirit. 1 John 5:3 For this demonstrates our love for God: We keep His commandments, and His commandments are not difficult because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. |

2 Corinthians 5:15 and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. If Jesus Christ had not died, all would be lost and undone, ruined slaves to sin, having no power to deliver themselves. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Those who have true faith live by that faith, and faith fastens upon Christ's giving Himself for us. He loved me and gave Himself for me. The more simply the believer relies on Jesus for everything, the more devotedly he walks before Him in all His Word. Faith in the Son of God works by love, causes obedience, and changes into His holy image. God's grace is, therefore, not abused or made in vain. An Exhortation to Cease from Sin by the Example of Jesus Christ 1 Peter 4:1-2 Therefore, since the Messiah suffered in a mortal body, you, too, must arm yourselves with the same determination, because the person who has suffered in a mortal body has stopped sinning, so that he can live the rest of his mortal life guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God. A true conversion makes a remarkable change in the heart and life. It alters the mind, judgment, affections, and conversation. When one is truly converted, it is very grievous to him to think how the time past of his life has been spent. One sin draws on another. Be quickened to the Divine life by the Holy Spirit and live to God as His devoted servant. |

John 13:12-17 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His outer robe, He sat down again and told them, "Do you realize what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right because that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you must also wash one another's fee. I have set an example for you, so that you may do as I have done to you. Truly I tell all of you emphatically, a servant is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. If you understand these things, how blessed you are if you put them into practice! John 15:9-14 Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love. If you keep my commandments you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: that you love one another as I have loved you. No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. 1 John 4:7-21 Dear friends, let us continually love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God. The person who does not love does not know god, because God is love. This is how God's love was revealed among us: god sent His unique Son into the world so that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we have loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if this is the way God loved us, we must also love one another. No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us, and His love is perfected in us. This is how we know that we abide in Him and He is us: He has given us His Spirit. |

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. but you must let endurance have its full effect, sot hat you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. We should not pray so much for the removal of affliction, as for wisdom to make a proper use of it. No condition of life is such as to hinder rejoicing in God. Acts 14:21-22 As they were proclaiming the good news in that city, they discipled a large number of people. Then they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antiock, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, "We must endure many hardships to get into the kingdom of God." Philippians 1:29 For you have been given the privilege for the Messiah's sake not only to believe in Him but also to suffer for Him. 2 Timothy 3:10-12 but you have observed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance. |

1 Peter 4:1-2 Therefore, since the Messiah suffered in mortal body, you, too, must arm yourselves with teh same determination, because the person who has suffered in a mortal body has topped sinning, so that he can live the rest of his mortal life guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God. The strongest and best arguments against sin are taken from the sufferings of Jesus the Messiah. He died to destroy sin, and though He cheerfully submitted to the worst sufferings, He never gave way to the least sin. Temptations could not prevail were it not for man's corruption, but true Christians make the will of God the rule of their lives and actions, not their passion or desires. And true conversion makes a wonderful change in the heart and life. It alters the mind, judgment, affections, and conversation. When one is truly converted, it is deplorable to him to think how he spent his time in the past. |

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God. What do you need today? Courage, healing, or comfort? Or all of the above? Is it love, contentment, or peace? God's Protection Psalm 18:1-3 I will love Thee O Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God Psalm 18:16-19 He sent from above, He took me. He drew me to many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy and from them who hated me for they were too strong for me. Psalm 32:7 Thou art my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble; You shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 The Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep you from evil. God promises to keep me from evil if I seek Him. John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Follow Him. |

Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as hoiness, without which no one will see the Lord. Faith and patience enable me to follow peace and holiness, as well as a calling constantly, diligently and with great joy. |
