Victory in Jesus

As I sit and think about all God has brought me through and the places he has prepared for me I am amazed. Life is full of struggles and challenges. Life is hard. It is even harder without Jesus Christ. In scripture it says that "“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”(John 14:13-14, KJV esword) First, you have to know Jesus. That means you have to ask him to come into your life and be Lord over all you have and all you are. Next, you have to submit to him daily. Submitting means to follow him and his lead. You relinquish your power and control to fix situations. You give me everything. Submitting is hard. It goes against our fleshly nature. Once we decided to make Jesus the Lord of our life we die to the flesh and we no longer live for ourselves but for him. Being a Christian is not a walk in the park especially in the times we live in. We are watching Revelations unfold before our eyes and I pray that as you read this blog you know Jesus as your savior. I pray for protection and I pray for strength for my friends and readers. God is seeking to do miraculous things in the lives of people. We just have to be willing to submit to his plans and not ours. Mind you his plans are not always ours and alot of the time it is hard to accept his will for us but he sees and knows our future and can plan for us better than we could ever imagine. God is great! He is moving in the lives of his people and we are so blessed to be able to call him our Father. So I pray he is your Father also and that you put on your armor and fight the devil in the battle we call life. There are great victories and blessing in store for his children. Love you in the name of Christ!!! If you have any questions about Jesus becoming the Lord in your life or you just need to pray with someone please contact me at kleach4@gmail.com. Dear Jesus, I pray for all my blog buddies. I pray for their protection and guidance. I pray that they would die to the flesh and be victorious in you. I know there are so many needs and I ask that you heal each one according to your will and not ours. You are great and greatly to be praised!! We love you and thank you for all your blessings. In Jesus Name Amen!

Waiting on God

"I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him." Psalm 62:1 Waiting on God is the theme for this verse. Who likes to wait?? Not I! I like results now! If I want to experience victory I have to wait on God and in the end he always comes through. It is not always how I would like to see things turn out or what I would have expected but it is the best in the end. I have so many friends that are hurting now and struggling with life. I want to take time to pray for them right now. Dear Lord, I pray for all my hurting friends! You know each and everyone if there needs. Please pray for my friends with babies that are sick and hurting. Please surround them with peace and healing. Give them the assurance to know you are still in control and like the verse says that victory comes from you. I also want to pray for my good friends with cancer. Cancer is such a mean and ugly disease. I pray that you give them strength for their journey and refreshment for their bodies. Give them joy when it seems like its hard to find and wrap them in your arms. We give you all the praise and honor! We think you ahead of time for these answered prayers! Amen If you need prayer or if you just need some encouragement please contact me at kleach4@gmail.com I would love you pray for you and send you a note of encouragement that will lift you up! Remember JOY comes in the morning!

When Satan Attacks

Attacks from Satan come in all forms. They come in subtle ways and in large hail storms. They come from family, friends, and circumstances. Sometimes we can't see God through the storm that we are walking in and we doubt him and his Goodness. God is always good!! Let me repeat that, God is always good! He works on our behalf and in our behalf. The things we are walking through are for our growing faith. He is wanting us to stretch and grow to the next phase of our walk. Sometimes the walk is through a dark forrest and sometimes it is in a low low valley. While we are walking through life's circumstances, if we are not in the word and speaking scripture than the devil starts to have a hay day in your lives and our emotions. It says in scripture 1 Peter 4: 12-19
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

As we are walking in the Spritual Trial, we have to realize that the attack is not coming from the person it is coming from the devil. They are being used by him. As long as we are doing God's work and in his will for our life. Satan will be on attack. He does not want his kingdom and his word spread to anyone! He knows that his time is short and that anything we do for the Kingdo of God puts a hurt on him. We as Christians need to be ferverent about spreading the gospel. Not just inside our churches but outside to the lost. The salvation of Christ is not just for our well being and we were not worthy to have his salvation and grace subjected to just us. It is available and able to be poured out to anyone! Are we doing everything we can to spread the Gospel for Jesus Christ?

My Blessings

I am free to be me!!

One of my favorite songs is Free to be Me by Francesca Battistelli.  It is a song that talks about me being free in Christ to be whom he created me to be.  Not how he created anyone else on the earth.  He takes joy in all my strange quirks and wierd ways that I am. He knows that he can turn my quirks into a great witness for him.  He can use me to touch someone in a way that no other person will be able to. I read a poem entitled My Identity in Christ.  It says so much about us as a person and exactly how the King of Kings feels about who he made.  I hope you enjoying reading it.  Remember be Free in Christ Jesus!!
My Identity in Christ
Because of Christ's redemption, I am a new creation of great worth.
I am deeply loved, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, totally accepted by God,
and absoluetly complete in Christ. There has never been another person like me,
in the history of mankind, nor will there ever be.  God has made me an original, one of a kind,
really SOMEBODY!!!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you can say that it is a "Happy" New Year even though last year might have been hard for you.  Don't forget that my God is good and he has great blessings in store for you this year.  I am sooooo excited about 2011!  I don't really know why, other than the fact that I serve a great God and he only has the best in store for me.  Wow! That takes my breath away. Even if no one else would have been born on the Earth but you Christ still would have made the ultimate sacrifice for just you.
Let's remember in this coming year to encourage our sista's.  Sometimes we get caught up in our everyday lives and forget that if we just speak one word of encouragement to someone it could totally change their day.  Remember what God says in his word
1 Thessalonians 5:11
“So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” (NLT)

What's in your mouth?????

From the same mouth come blessings and cursing. My brethren these things ought not be that way. James 3:10

What comes out of our mouth? Do we praise God and turn right around and tear someone down or speak negatively? God says it shouldn't be that way.  When I read this verse God really spoke to me about this.  One of our jobs as a Christian is to encourage people and help lift them up.  How often do we do that in a days time? Once, twice, or maybe three times if I am in a good mood? We need to make it our goal to encourage someone each day.  There are so many hurting people around us.  We don't have to go outside of our normal routine to see someone that could use an encouraging word.  The devil is on attack! Friends are hurting, families are splitting and neighbors are in need.  Let's live outside the label this world has placed on Christians. Let's not just go to church and play the part! Let's be a person who follows the Holy Sprirts leading everyday of our lives. Let's change what the devil has done to our churches and families.  Let's ENCOURAGE someone today.

 So what comes from your mouth? Is it something u need to change? If so pray about it and let God help you tame your tongue this week.

Dear God,
Help me to tame my tongue.  We get so caught up in our world and the way our society works and views things. Help us to take our lives and the words we speak back to what your book says and use that as our standard for living. Help me to encourage someone today.  Thank you for your saving Grace.  Thank you for sending your precious perfect Son for my sins.  I ask you to forgive me where I have use my mouth for lifting you. In Jesus Name. Amen
