STRONG IN THE LORD

Below are scriptures that I have personalized for you to confess over yourself when you feel weak in your life and need strength, the strength which only God can provide.

Ephesians 6:10, Amplified Bible

I am strong in the Lord.  I am empowered through my union with Him.  I draw my strength from Him, that strength which His boundless might provides.

Philippians 2:13, Amplified Bible

It is not in my own strength, for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in me, energizing and creating in me the power and the desire both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

Philippians 4:13, Amplified Bible

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient with Christ’s sufficiency].

Psalm 84:7, Amplified Bible

I go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]….

Isaiah 45:24

Surely I shall say:   in the Lord I have righteousness and strength.

Isaiah 40:29,31, Amplified Bible

When I am fainting and weary, the Lord gives power to me.  When I have no might, He increases strength, causing it to multiply and making it to abound.  I hope in the Lord.  He changes and renews my strength and power.  I run and do not grow weary; I walk and don’t faint or become tired.  When I am weak, He tells me to say that I am strong, and I am strong!

Our physical, mental, and emotional strength comes from the Lord.  It is He Who gives us what we need when we need it.  Let the weak say that he is strong and draw his strength from the Lord.  There is no God like our God.  Lean on Him.  Rely on Him.  Draw your strength from Him.

OVERCOMER THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Today we are taking two scriptures in the Amplified Bible to make our confession:  Revelation 12:11 and 1 John 4:4.

I have overcome, conquered the devil, satan, who is the seducer, the deceiver of all humanity, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony, my witness to the Truth of God’s Word.  I have overcome, conquered deception by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of God.

I am a child of God; I am of God; I am His child; I belong to Him and have already defeated and overcome the agents of antichrist, because He Who lives in me (God Almighty through His Holy Spirit) is greater, mightier than he who is in the world (satan, the devil, the seducer, the deceiver).

Yes, I am God’s child.

I am of God.

I belong to Him.

Because I belong to Him I HAVE ALREADY defeated and overcome the agents of antichrist.  Why?  Greater, mightier is He Who is in me (Jesus Christ) than he who is in the world (the devil).

How do I overcome the devil, the agents of antichrist?  By the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, and by the word of my testimony, my witness to the truth of God’s Word about the blood of Jesus.

What a joy to know that through the blood of Jesus Christ and the Truth of the Word of God we overcome deception and seduction.  We overcome our enemy, the devil.

Jesus told me in John 16:33 that He has overcome the world for me.  He has deprived it of its power to harm me and has conquered it for me.

I rejoice today!  I am mighty through Jesus Christ.

I praise God!  I am an overcomer through Jesus Christ!

THE RAINBOW

The Lord gave me this poem two years ago when my father graduated to heaven.  I share it here for those of you who have recently been separated temporarily from your loved ones until that day when you join them.

A Tribute To My Dad On His Homegoing

My time on earth is ended and my work on earth is done.

I have lifted my eyes up higher and am now gazing upon the Son.

He is the rainbow in the distance that I have been looking for.

And now I know His beauty that is brighter than the noonday sun.

The rainbow is His promise of days of peace and rest.

I have come to the end of the rainbow and found my place of rest.

There’s treasure that is stored there; it’s only the best.

My days on earth are ended but my life has just begun.

Come join with me and enter into the fun.

Joy, peace, love—-I have found them all now.

I have found the end of the rainbow and at His feet I now bow.

He is a treasure beyond measure.

His love is of more value than any gold in the pot at the end of the rainbow.

I know it now.  He is a wonder to behold!

I see His beauty now.

The splendor of His glory is the model for the rainbow.

So the next rainbow you see, think of me as I am gazing upon the beauty of the rainbow around God’s throne.
