5 Because He Lives
Saturday, April 19, 2014
5 for Waiting
- Our job position does not define us - before the foundations of the world began HE had a PURPOSE our lives
- Our bank account does not define us - we have a guaranteed INHERITANCE from the One who turned a boys lunch into a meal with leftovers for 5,000+ all their family
- Our physical abilities and appearance do not define us - our God sees what is INSIDE not what man sees on the outside - He has called us as the Beloved to stretch forth our withered parts and receive from His heart
- Our status as single, divorced, widowed, does not define us for as the Beloved we are the BRIDE of Christ
- Our uncertain days of lack, want, fear, failure, despair, uncertainty, DO NOT DEFINE US
HE
is our Creator
HE
is our Refiner
HE
is our Definer
HE
is our Lord
HE
is risen from the dead
HE
is coming soon !
His
GOODNESS & FAITHFULNESS PURSUE us ALL the days of our lives ~ and we will
DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER!

5 for Good Friday
- Current circumstances can appear ANY BUT good – remember, faith is what is hoped for AS YET UNSEEN
- Today may feel like all hope is lost – But His Word says it is not!
- Today I am alone, His Promise is I am NEVER ALONE, He is with me always EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE
- Today I am ashamed of how I behaved, God is ALWAYS IN THE REDEMPTION BUSINESS and he will use me like He did Peter to “feed His sheep”
- Today everything I thought I would have by now has come to naught… His Word states emphatically: ALL THINGS work together for the good for those who love Him AND ARE CALLED for HIS PLANS and purposes. ALL means ALL! Mistakes, bad choices, poor habits, excuses, coulda , woulda, shoulda…
HE
IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS AND…
HE
IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD!

5 for Maundy Thursday
- When all hope is lost - there is hope
- When all expectations are thwarted there is a plan in play
- When you have no prospects for the future He is working on your behalf
- When you have let your friends and family down, give yourself the GRACE the Master offers.
- The Biblical BEGINNING of the day is at SUNSET when our activity comes to a stop - The King is working while we are sleeping!
