Who can have eternal life from the Lord?

11/20/10My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me. John 10: 27-28. Lord I admit I am a sheep in need of a shepherd. I hear You when You guide me to make right decisions, to avoid making wrong ones, to be patiently still in Your peace, and to pray for change. You know me better than I know myself and love me anyway. You give me eternal life; I can't buy it, earn it, I don't deserve it, I can't repay it. The cost of me never perishing was Your Son dying on the cross for all my sins but because He rose again to live forever I can never be snatched away from You and that is eternal life, life eternal with You. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com

How can the Lord help me face my enemies?

11/19/10So we can say with confidence," The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?" Hebrews 13:6. Lord You are the only sure confidence I have against my physical enemies, my spiritual enemies, my financial enemies, and my mental enemies. Lord I need Your help today.

I will not fear the pain, I will not fear the attacks of Satan, I will not fear the money we don't have, and I will not fear the anxiety that comes. People bring pain but You bring healing. Satan brings attacks but You bring hope. Unemployment limits our funds but You provide our needs. Anxiety tries to overwhelm but You overcome. You are my all in all. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com

Psalm 73:25-26. Lord thank You that I have direct access to You as Your child. Forgive me for letting my priorities get out of whack and desiring things more than You. Thank You for the reminder You give that when my health fails it's because this is not my home. Thank You that when my spirit grows weak Your strength is made perfect through me. You were the same in the yesterday that I chose to love You, You are the same in the today that I choose to honor You with my life and You will be the same in the forever I will spend with You in eternity. You are mine and I am Yours. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com

You are commanding me to not be afraid because fear doesn't come from You. You are commanding me to not be discouraged because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. You promising to be with me wherever I go gives me the courage to go into today. Thank You. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com

10/27/10I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. John 5:47. Lord thank You that every word that came from Your mouth while You were here was truth then and is truth now and will be truth until the end of time.

I am trying to maximize my leisure instead of my service, trying to escape pressure instead of lean on God through it.

WHEN THE DARKNESS WILL NOT LIFT – JOHN PIPER Help me Lord find opportunities to serve those You have given me; taking my eyes off my darkness and focus on bringing and sharing light to and with others. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com honeydosbyjimmyhead.blogspot.com

Lord I can recover when I ask for Your help; when I call out to You in urgent prayer, day or night, whether I am right with You or whether I have failed You. You hear and answer, in a way that is good for me not always the way I want. You forgive me and forget my sin, help me to forgive others to aid my own recovery.

How can I give Satan his due, but no more?

10/5/10Satan can do nothing without Your permission, Lord. Job1:12. Satan can harass and kill but not destroy me because You have the victory over death. Hebrews 2:14.

What can I say a child of God being persuaded he is not?

10/4/10 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me completely. 1Corinthians13:12. Our dark certainties are not sureties. WHEN THE DARKNESS WILL NOT LIFT – JOHN PIPER. The world gives me an imperfect vision of who I am. The world reflects back at me only my imperfections. But through the eyes of Christ I can begin to see myself clearly for who I am, a child of God. My dark certainties are what is outside of God's best for me and incomplete because they lack hope. I am beginning and continuing to learn how the sureties I can completely know are the promises of who I am in You. You completely know who I am and love me anyway; shield me from the dark certainties of my mind and fill me with the surety of who I am in You. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com honeydosbyjimmyhead.blogspot.com

What is the ground of my assurance when I can’t see my faith?

10/1/10 The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can't explain how people are born in the Spirit. John 3:8. My faith rises and falls, it has degrees. But my security does not rise and fall, it has no degrees. The darkest experience for a child of God is when his faith sinks out of his own sight. Not out of God's sight, but his. Yes it is possible to be so overwhelmed with darkness that you don't know if you are a Christian-and yet still be one. God is the bottom of my faith; and when it disappears for a season from my own view, God sustains and protects the root of my faith from destruction.

WHEN THE DARKNESS WILL NOT LIFT-JOHN PIPER

Thank You Lord for being my security when my faith has been shaky. Forgive me for judging those who are your children but are struggling in their faith. Help me be light to their darkness not a destroyer of their faith.
