Tonight as I was reading my bible how many people are having to make a decision in their life. They have prayed and God has answered, but still they are afraid to step out.

And then there are just some, who are living a life of defeat and without purpose, because they are not stepping out in faith and letting God work miracles and blessings in their lives.

In Isaiah 55: 1-13, is an, Invitation to Abundant Life. This passage shows us just what God wants to do for us and has already done. We need to just step out in faith as we read the following scriptures, then accept what God has for you now this very moment.  Do not wait until you get to Heaven and hear the Lord say, look, at what I wanted to do for you, and the things I wanted to give you, but you just would not let me.

As you read the scriptures below, I hope that you get as excited as I did. 1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. 3 Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. 4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. 5 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the LORD your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.” 6 Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8 “ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. 9 “ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. 12 “ For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the LORD for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

God Is Always Waiting

   

God is always waiting for us to believe and rely on Him. When we  know that God is our help in the time of trouble and He is there in our times of joy, then we will know without a doubt that we have a personal relationship with God.  That He is our friend and we have a intimate relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and we can say that "Jesus is Lord" of our lives.
   
We need to have a personal relationship with Jesus.  Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy.  One of his main things is to put fear in our hearts.  When he can accomplish this, then our faith is weakened.
   
Read the following and help build your faith up this week.
 
1.God Is...The Almighty, Genesis 35:11, "Nobody and nothing is mightier than God!"
 
2. God Is... Our Redeemer,  Psalm 19:14,
"We belong to God. He has redeemed us and we are now God's property!"
 
3. God Is...Our Deliverer, Psalm 40:17,
"God comes to deliver us from everything the devil tries to put on us, or put in us, or take out of us, or take off us!"
 
4.God Is...Our Fortress, Psalm 91:2,
"God is our refuge in times of life's storms."
 
5. God Is... Our Healer, Exodus 15:26,
"God wants to heal our whole  being, spirit, mind, body, relationships, finances, our entire self."
 
6. God Is... A Banner Over Us, Solomon 2:4,
"God's love is a protective covering for our lives."
 
7. God Is... Our Savior, I John 4:14,
"Jesus came to save us from the penalty of our sins."
 
8. God Is... Counselor and Comforter...John 14:16-18,
"God will guide us in the way we should go, and we can take great comfort in knowing He will never leave us nor forsake us."
   
Commit the Word of God to your memory. Commit all the names that the His word calls Him. It will help strengthen your faith. 
   
We all need our faith strengthen.  When faith abounds fear is gone.  Committing His word to your heart will help you in trouble.  Fear will have to flee.
   
Someone once said, "When fear knocked at the door, faith answered and said, "There is no one home."
   
If you are gripped  by fear today, or any day say this aloud.
   
I am going put myself into the flow of God where the Word of God and the power of God are merged together. Praise God!
   
Have a wonderful week.  See ya tomorrow for another cup of coffee in the Lord.

Blessing, Love and Prayers,

Pastor Pat
