     "Blessed are those who work for peace."       - Jesus      Peacemaking is not avoiding conflict at all costs, running from a problem, or pretending it doesn't exist.  That's cowardice.  Jesus, the Prince of Peace, was never afraid of conflict.  He even provoked it sometimes, for the greater good.  Sometimes we need to avoid conflict, sometimes we need to create it, and other times we need to resolve it.  That is why we must pray for the Holy Spirit's continual guidance.     Peacemaking is also not appeasement.  Always giving in like a doormat, and allowing others to run all over you is not what Jesus had in mind.  In the face of an evil opposition we must stand our ground.     Here are seven biblical steps to restoring fellowship:     1.  Talk to God before talking to the person.     If you pray first about the conflict rather than gossiping to a ...

     Not having a a big mane helps the lionesses sneak up on their prey.  The male lions let out a menacing roar to get the prey to run in the opposite direction from wherever it came.  This sends them towards the real threat, the lioness stalking in the tall grass.  This instinctive decision may be the last choice the antelope or gazelle makes.       This happens too often in our own lives.  We run from our fears, not knowing that what is on the other side of them. It may not seem logical, but when you feel this fear you must run towards the roar, it may not be as bad as what's waiting for you on the other side .  "Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor".  God calls us to face our fears to live trusting Him.  "You can't ignore fear, but you don't have to let it control you.  True bravery isn't feeling no fear. It's being afraid and moving forward anyway." Quotes from: - Take Back Your Life by Levi Lusko

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.  Humble people are so focused on serving others, they don't think of themselves. - The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

1.  The Devil Cannot Be Like God      - The devil longs for the allegiance and worship that belongs only to God 2.  The Devil Cannot Understand the Ways and Word of God     - His defeat is stated in Revelations which can only be understood through the revelation of God's Holy Spirit 3.  The Devil Cannot Resist the Name of Jesus     - Every knee shall bend at the name of Jesus, even Satan cannot resist 4.  The Devil Cannot Stop the Power of the Gospel     - The Gospel is the power of God.  Salvation goes beyond forgiveness to include healing, peace, deliverance, restoration, and everything else we need.  The devil cannot stop your inherent blessings. 5.  The Devil Cannot Escape His Fate in Revelation 20:10     - He is headed towards the lake of fire.  When you tries to show you your sorry past; show him his sorry future instead.  As a believer you've already escaped. 6.  The Devil Can...

     “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” - Ephesians 6 : 10-17           Wake up in the morning and put on your armor of God. We must pray...
