Don't be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come to test you as though something strange were happening to you; but REJOICE inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ that you may be overjoyed when His Glory is revealed. IF YOU ARE INSULTED BECAUSE OF THE NAME OF CHRIST, YOU ARE BLESSED, FOR THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD RESTS ON YOU! 1Peter 4:12-14

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death Prov. 14:12..... FOLLOW NOT MAN because in this day and time many are leading by their own intellect and not from the WORD of GOD. THE ONLY WAY IS GOD'S WAY!!

TESTIMONY OF A STRONG WOMAN

STRONG WOMAN she’s been knocked down but she’s always gotten back up, and when she did she STOOD on GOD’S WORD, in her heart and in her hand STRONG WOMAN HELD on to HIS PROMISES.
Criticized but she yet encouraged others, judged but she spoke not a word because STRONG WOMAN knew that when you judged her you were really judging yourself. Persecuted by so-called family and friends, because STRONG WOMAN was determined to live holy even if she had to walk alone and she did.

Rejected by those she loved and raised, (her very own siblings) but STRONG WOMAN took to heart what the Lord said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Abandoned by even her own mother but again STRONG WOMAN heard the Lord say, "When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the Lord will take me up." Many times STRONG WOMAN got tired and weary but she wouldn’t bend, for if she did they would walk all over her so she LIFTED HER EYES unto the hills for STRONG WOMAN knew her help was up there. She grabbed hold of her strength that came from the Lord, lifting herself up STRONG WOMAN PRESSED on, HOLDING fast. STRONG WOMAN never lost heart, STRONG WOMAN was CONFIDENT that HE who had begun a good work in her would perform it until that day!

So don’t dare try to knock STRONG WOMAN down because if she falls she’ll just get back up....Don’t try to feed her foolishness and lies because she’ll just STAND on TRUTH, she knows the PROMISE KEEPER.
Watch STRONG WOMAN when she’s tired and her steps seem to be getting shorter you will find her somewhere waiting on the LORD to renew her strength; then you will see STRONG WOMAN  mount up with wings as eagles; as she begin to take off and  run again and this time she won’t get weary; STRONG WOMAN will walk and not faint, she will keep PRESSING AND PRESSING toward that mark.
You may not like STRONG WOMAN but you got to love her; and if you must go ahead and criticize her; reject her, but it’s truly your lost as STRONG WOMAN may hold your blessing in her hands she will take it with her as she moves on loving and encouraging others along the way.   
She won’t give up, she won’t give in. Don’t be fooled STRONG WOMAN knows who she is and who she can be; THE STRONG WOMAN IS ME!!!!

Israel’s Leaders are especially rebuked by God, they were suppose to know right from wrong, but were themselves THE VILEST SINNERS OF ALL.... {so it was then, SO IT IS NOW} Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.

WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTHS IS AN INDICATOR OF WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS!! A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKS.  Luke 6:45

The "TRUTH" of God's Word allows us to get away from what men teach, and to get down to what God want us to know, "THE WORD" The TRUTH/WORD will set us free from sin!!!! And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32

THERE'S STRENGTH IN UNITY 1Corinthians 1:10-17

THERE’S STRENGTH IN UNITY 1Corinthians 1:10-17
During Paul’s second missionary journey he lived in Corinth. Paul when speaking addressed the readers as brothers, it was only natural for him do so because he knew them well. He had a strong message on unity to deliver to them.The Church of Corinth suffered from internal division (division within the body). Leaders in the church were competing for positions and control (such as they do now).
They questioned even Paul’s authority as an apostle. Paul was trying to direct the Corinthians to the only source of unity then and now.Only Christ and the power of His Cross can bring Christians together in harmony. Unity in the Church will not be demonstrated until Christ, not human personality or mans wisdom is central. Scripture states, “Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.”

1 Corinthians 1:17 When sisters and brothers begin to love one another and work together as one body of believers (no big I’s and little u’s) the Church will become strong….THERE IS STRENGTH IN UNITY!
