March 20

1 Peter 2:2-3

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Thoughts on today's verse

Salvation is such a precious thing! But like a newborn baby, we become obnoxious or sick if we stay in the same place we were spiritually when we were saved! Read Hebrews 6 and see what God has to say about remaining immature! We must really want to grow. We must crave what is good and what builds us up. What are you going to do today to satisfy your spiritual appetite?

Prayer:

Mighty God, thank you for loving me and saving me. I really want to mature in your grace. Bless me today as I seek to pattern holy habits and fill myself spiritually with the things that will help me grow. But Holy God, I know that true growth comes only from you, so I ask you to strengthen me by your Spirit as I pursue your character. Through Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen.

Daily Devotions with Heartlight..

March 19

Galatians 5:22-23
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Thoughts on today's verse

A lot of different religious groups will give you all sorts of ways to know whether or not you have the Holy Spirit. Jesus has one simple answer: "by their fruit you will know them." Paul gives us the definition of holy fruit. Say them out loud and ask the Lord to make it true in you: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL.

Prayer:

Abba Father, through the Spirit I call upon you. Please fulfill in me the character you possess. I want to exhibit the qualities of your child, Jesus, through whom I pray. Amen.

Setting the Tone for Your Day!

Sunday, March 18, 2012

Believe it or not, we have the power to set the tone of our day:

If you want your day to be filled with positive thoughts you need to focus on the good and wholesome things that uplift your emotions, when you chose to fill yourself with things that edify & build up you set the tone for a day of blessing and not defeat!

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

I love that verse, Judith. I just read the front of your Spark Page and your story is so inspiring! I, too, believe in the power of prayer to heal, and you are a living example of it. May He hold you gently in His hand and bring you strength in your incredible journey! And thank you so much for the prayers for my son! Report Inappropriate Comment

Thank you Judith for the perfect way to begin the Lord's day! There are so many negative things that we hear on the news today. But instead of feeling depressed, we need to keep our focus on the wonderful and magnificent God whom we serve. I will strive to meditate on those positive things today! Report Inappropriate Comment

Missions Fest: Photo Collage` & Personal Testimony...

Saturday, March 17, 2012

Hi All,

I went to the Missions Fest Appreciation evening. Wow, it was an awesome evening, there were desserts, coffee and tea and heaps of great testimonies, a power point video, we listened to a dynamic speaker, Phil Callaway. I picked up an awesome DVD by Phil Callaway, actually I shook hands with him and thanked him for all he shared, I told him he was a breath of fresh air, at that point with me holding his hand the Holy Spirit came over me and I just wept, I believe God was doing some awesome things, at that Point Phil gave me one of his DVD's and wrote a personal note to me complete with a special scripture, he asked if someone could take our picture, I gave my camera to my friend who took the photo. Wow what an awesome night, God surely ministered to me. Below I am sharing my photo collage` of the evening, wish I had taken the tables of desserts, my what an array of decedent desserts. Hope you enjoy the photo's...
