We need one another in the body of Christ.
Hebrews 3:12-14 says, "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. " (NIV)
God has called each one of us, created us uniquely and distinctly for a specific call...but the enemy's accusations, feelings of unworthiness, and fear attempt to discourage us from fulfilling that destiny. So today I thought we'd try something a little different...
Here is your chance to encourage one another. So, take a moment and leave your favorite verse or promise that encourages you to press on when you are discouraged...
I'll start it out...one of my favorite Bible Promises is: Isa 43:1-3, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; (NIV)
Now it's your turn...I can't wait to hear your thoughts and words of encouragement...trust me...after the week I've had...just know you will be ministering directly back to me! Love you all. Have a great weekend

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:8-9

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Esphesians 17-19).

ReplyDeleteA simple well known one: Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
ReplyDeleteLove this verse! Strip off every weight and run with endurance!

ReplyDeleteThe Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired
His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
- Isaiah 40:28-31
Those who wait for the LORD ...
they will
they will
they will
Amen!

The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior He will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. Isa 42:13

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6. This one has guided me for many years, through many challenges.
