Speak Aloud God's Promises in your life..40 Day Challenge

[Aggie]

Habakkuk 3:17-18 - Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.

The lesson here is to always trust the Lord and be happy in whatever state we are. We must have tests in order to have testamonies. If we have never known or experienced real lack, how can we truly know and appreciate true abundance and joy? A joy that only comes from the Lord Himself. When the chips are down, and I mean really down, and there is no one around to help us and it seems like even God Himself has abandoned us, (which actually He doesn't) then it is the heart and soul of the true worshipper who will pursue Him continually, no matter how dismal the situation looks that they're in.

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS!!!

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that Your should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that thay also may be sanctified by the truth. John 17:14-19

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

DAY 21


Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Rightousness and everything else shall be added unto you
Matthew 6:33

As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15

 

[Mis007]

​

Therefore my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, - continue to work our your salvation with fear and trembling, ​

For it is GOD who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing, ​

So that you may become blameless and pure, children of GOD without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like the stars in the universe. ​

​

(Philippians 12-15)​

Romans 3:22-25 - We are made right in God's sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done.

Verse 23 - For all have sinned, all fall short of God's glorious standard.

verse 24 - Yet now God in His gracious kindness declares us NOT GUILTY. He has done this through Jesus Christ, who has freed us by taking away our sins.

verse 25 For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed His blood, sacrificing His life for us....

Verse 27 - Can we boast then that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on our good deeds. It is based on our faith.

Isn't it wonderful to know that the God of all creation, through the sacrifice of His only begotten Son so long ago, has declared us through our faith and belief in His wonderful work on the cross, NOT GUILTY!! This is so liberating for us to now be able to come to Him directly rather than through a priest who is a mere mortal man but now we can go through our Royal Priest - Jesus Christ Himself? We can go behind the veil on our own now, broken, securely wrapped under the veil of the blood of Jesus Christ and God will not turn us away. Isn't this wonderful?

PRAISE THE LORD!!

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shalll He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Romans 8:31-34

It is so good to know that even if there is no one on earth praying for us, Jesus is.

Philippians 2:5 (New King James Version


The Humbled and Exalted Christ

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

 

[charmingt]

"I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth You to Me in righteousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord. It shall come to pass in that day that I will answer," says the Lord. "I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth. The earth shall answer with grain, with new wine, and with oil; They shall answer Jezreel. Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people 'you are My people!' and they shall say, 'You are my God!'" Hosea 2:19-23

KAYTEShe is far more precious than jewels and KAYTE'S her value is far above rubies or pearls.(D) 11The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of [honest] gain or need of [dishonest] spoil. 12She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the LOVE OF GOD that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

DAY 23
13 KAYTE She looks for wool and flax
and likes to work with her hands.
14 KAYTE She is like a trader's ship,
bringing food from far away.
15 KAYTE She gets up while it is still dark
and prepares food for her family
and feeds her servant girls.
16 KAYTE She inspects a field and buys it.
With money she earned, she plants a vineyard.
17 KAYTE She does her work with energy,
and her arms are strong.
18 KAYTE She knows that what she makes is good.
Her lamp burns late into the night.

Today is Day 1 for me and God lead me to this scripture:


The Ransomed Shall Return - Isaiah 35:3-10


They shall see the glory of the LORD, the majesty of our God.

3 Strengthen the weak hands,and make firm the feeble knees.
4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, "Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you."

5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness,and streams in the desert; 7the burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down, the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

8 And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray. 9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there.

10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing;everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.


Amen

Day 24

19 KAYTEShe lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20She opens her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her filled hands to the needy [whether in body, mind, or spirit].

21She fears not the snow for her family, for all her household are doubly clothed in scarlet.(F)

22KAYTE...I She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry. Her clothing is of linen, pure and fine, and of purple [such as that of which the clothing of the priests and the hallowed cloths of the temple were made].(G)

23MY... Her husband is known in the [city's] gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.(H)

24 I ...She makes fine linen garments and leads others to buy them; she delivers to the merchants girdles [or sashes that free one up for service].

25Strength and dignity are MY her clothing and MY her position is strong and secure;
I..she rejoices over the future [the latter day or time to come, knowing that ME she and her family are in readiness for it]!

 

[Aggie]

Aggie, this scripture touched me deeply. You just don't know...

Well bless the Lord!!! He knows what we need when we need it doesn't He? And we are His mouth piece, He deserves glory and honor for imparting His wisdom to His children. Rejoice and again I say, rejoice.

I wish you His blessings always honey,

Aggie

Romans 8: 26 -....And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

verse 27 - And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.

verse 28 - And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.

verse 29 - For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the Firstborn, with many brothers and sisters.

verse 30 - And having chosen them, He called them to come to Him. And He gave them right standing with Himself, and He promised them His glory.

verse 31 - What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can be against us?

We as God's children can remain confident that nothing can hurt us so deeply that He cannot turn it around for our good. This is truly something to get excited about!



PRAISE THE LORD!!!
