Keep Your Eyes on Jesus

When the disciples saw Him walking on the
sea, they were troubled, saying,"It is a ghost!"
And they cried out for fear. But immediately
Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good
cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." So He said,
"Come." And when Peter had come down out
of the boat, he walked on the water to go to
Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to
sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"
( Matthew 14:26,27,29 & 30 *NKJV )


Now Peter began to sink because he took his eyes
off of Jesus, and focused on the wind & waves all around him. This
was because his faith faltered. So what did Peter do but
reach out to Jesus who was the only one that could save
him! You see Peter forgot to; Walk by faith, not by sight.
( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 )

Now we may not be walking on water, but when our
troubles surround us, if we focus on them instead of placing
our faith in Jesus, we will start to sink as well!

So when you are facing difficulties and
troubles surround you; keep your eyes on Jesus' power
rather then on your problems. Also when you are
apprehensive about your troubles, and if you doubt Christ's
presence or His great ability to help; remember that He is
the only one that can really help you as well!

Now tonight why not read this story. You will find it in The
Book of Matthew, Chapter 14, verses 22-33, for wonderful
reading it truly is!

, Watch, stand fast in the faith,
be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be
done with love. Amen.
( 1 Corinthians 16:13 )
All My Love & Prayers,

Amen sister.

We so easily slip into worry/panick mode, when things go wrong. As you remind us we should continue to look to Jesus who is with us at all times.

How often we underestimate His power.

O what peace we often forfiet, O what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer

In His Love
 
Only Fear the Lord

Only Fear the Lord

Only fear the Lord , and serve Him in
truth with all your heart; for consider
what great things He has done for you.
( 1 Samuel 12:24 *NKJV )



In this busy world it is far too easy to forget all of the
things that God has done for us. Often we take those
blessings for granted, and sometimes we even forget to
thank Him for them.

It is written; The Lord your God will keep with
you the covenant and the mercy which
He swore to your fathers. And He will love
you and bless you. ( Deuteronomy 7:12-13 )

Therefore, never forget to thank Him for His
great love, and all of the blessings that He has given to
you! In fact, a great way to start each day is to spend two
minutes counting all of your blessings, and then try to
have only loving thoughts all day long. For when we do
are hearts become merry and we are walking in God's
Light, and that will make us feel even more blessed
than before!

Also remember, when counting all of your
blessings, to count the biggest blessing of them all, and
that is having such a loving, caring Heavenly Father as
we do! Amen!

All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
