Greetings saints and friends, I'm glad you took time out of your busy schedule to visit our official website. Now that you are here allow me a brief moment to say a few words of encouragement that will certainly uplift your spirit and strengthen your heart.
We are all aware of the various issues and concerns of life that so often bombards our minds (unemployment, high gas prices, family crises, high crime rate, numerous divorces – especially among Christians, etc.), but we must remember that God is still in control and seated on His throne. In Philippians 4:4-9, God instructs the Apostle Paul to remind the church – since their God and Savior holds both heaven and earth in His all powerful hand, and His sovereign rule is unmatched by anyone, anything or any god; they can rest in assurance of God's promises, rely on His faithfulness and unwavering trust worthiness, and know without a doubt whenever they present their petitions (prayers) before their Heavenly Father (in Jesus' name) their prayers have been heard. And in God's own providential time He will manifest the answer to their prayers.
So therefore, since we have this great opportunity and privilege to come into our God's presence and relieve ourselves of all anxieties and cares of life, a Christian's attitude should always be that of thanksgiving and praise (toward God). In addition, Christians should keep their focus on those things that prompt worship, praise, integrity, godly character, and a good report. In so doing, we as members of the body of Christ will safeguard our hearts and minds from undo stress and worry and in turn position ourselves to experience God's gracious peace. In conclusion, I admonish every child of God to take hold of our authority over the devil, the world and your flesh given to you by God through His word and the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ). Everyday remind yourself of who you are and whose you are. In so doing your victories will remain countless and your peace continuous.
P.S. Take some time and read the following biblical references of which I'm sure you will be further blessed.
St. Matthew 6:25-34
I John 4:4
Romans 8:28, 31-39
Psalm 121
I Peter 5:6-11

Would you like to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior? If so, please read these scriptures for salvation (St. John 5:24-25; Romans 5:6-8; 10:8-13; Ephesians 2:1-8). After reading the above passages and feel the Holy Spirit moving upon your heart to make step of faith that will bring salvation into life for eternity please pray this prayer of salvation.
"Heavenly Father your word says if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that god raised him from the dead I would be saved. I have done this; therefore, I thank you and praise you that I am now saved according to your word. You also said that if I confess my sins you would forgive me. I thank you for forgiving me of any sin that I may have committed. In the name of Jesus Christ amen."
If you have prayed this prayer to receive Christ into your life – I would like to welcome you to the family of God.
