Good
Morning!
In order for you to really
"grasp" what The Holy Spirit is wanting to reveal to you in this
message today . . . you need to refer back to Friday's Encouragement.
I
am going to type out what Philippians 4: 6 & 7 says (Amp. Bible), and I am
going to "condense" it a little so that it won't be so long but will
bring forth a simple message ~~~~~~
v.6
Do not fret or be anxious about anything, but in every circumstance
and in everything by prayer and supplication (with THANKSGIVING),
let your requests be made known to God.
v.7
And the Peace of God (that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation),
that Peace which transcends and surpasses all understanding . . . shall
mount "guard" over your hearts and minds!
I
encourage you to really pay attention to what The Holy Spirit is instructing
us about in these two verses! It is very simple, when we break it
down ~~~~~ God's peace cannot guard your hearts and minds when you are
"fretful and anxious"! Why? Because there is no way
that you can have any anxiety AND peace at the same time! If you
are worrying about something, if you are fretting over something or if
you are being anxious about something . . . I can assure you that
you do not have any "peace" while that is going on! I know
this "first-hand"! However, if you will stop and start
"praying" about whatever is causing you to be "fretful and
anxious", and then start "thanking" God for doing what He has
promised in His Word to do for you concerning that situation, THEN and only
THEN is when The Lord will be able to give you the "peace of
God" that will GUARD your heart and mind! This is
an "on-going" message that God has assured me will be life-changing
for so many people! So, I will continue this in my next Encouragement.
Remember . . . I will be sending these Encouragements out only on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.
The
Lord has been dealing with me about adding a "Love Note" at the
end of each one of my Encouragements. God wants to bless His people
"financially", and He can only do this through their obedience
to be "doers of His Word". He tells us to "give and
it shall be given to us" . . . He tells us to "sow seeds and
you shall reap a harvest". He has instructed me to give all of my
readers an opportunity to become "partners" with this
ministry on a monthly basis. It is not because He is unable to meet OUR
needs (we "sow and give" and He has blessed this ministry), but
He wants to bring "increase" in to YOUR lives! The following
is what the "Love Note" will say ~~~~~
*Note: If you have
been blessed by these Encouragements, then please "pray" about
becoming a monthly partner with us. There is no set amount to send, in order
to become one of our monthly partners. God will bless your
"seed" regardless of the amount, so be expecting a harvest from
it! Our mailing address is at the top of this Encouragement.
Have a Blessed Day!! (Read all of Philippians, Chapter 4) In His Love, Luanne www.todayministries.org
