who hears your voice?

Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth: and with my song will I praise him…… Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance:  feed them also, and lift them up forever. psalm 28:6-9

God is so faithful – no matter what – and though times are bad, He is always good – cry out to Him! He is eager to hear, loves to show mercy, and ready to save ~

Gaze

Max is NOT afraid of Caspar by Dawn Huczek

It all depends on where one casts their gaze – I get distracted with politics, the world, the media…….then I remember to cast my eyes and gaze upon the One who matters – the One who is in control – the One who works mightily….and who Saves.  Lord Jesus Christ.  And He calls you too :)

and He will never cast you away.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love Him, because he first loved us. 1 john 4:18-19

Here is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 john 4:10

smile and rejoice in that :) do you know Him?

Name Calling

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. acts 4:12

For whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved
romans 10:13

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call upon the name of the LORD.  psalm 16:17

Call on His Name, and be saved

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:8-9

yes – I preach! -people are dead in their sins, and there is good news and life In Christ!  He gave me a voice, and only the living can praise His name and speak – the dead cannot :)

times of grave danger

In Times of Grave Danger by franticmeerkat.etsy.com

  On the news, in the media, the web, where ever, what ever, 
~ not everyone who names the name of Jesus Christ is of Him   
                 …don’t get in the boat with them.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 

Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.   1 john 4:1-4
