Being confirmed to the image of Christ is the right path. What steps are you on to get there?

Who is the one person who helped you come to Christ?

God has an endgame for all of us. What is yours? Is it the same as His?

Don't ask if God is fulfilling your purpose or expectations of Him, but rather are you fulfilling His purpose and plan for you!

Are you a Christian who purposefully lives righteously putting on the Lord Jesus Christ daily?

Faith. The Word. Obedience. Flip the Switch for the Spirit's Power in you.

Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God

What has God directed you to do today? What has Jesus established you to do today?

How do you deal with people who cause strife and division and offenses? Mark them. Avoid them. It's the Bible way.

Hope? Joy? Peace? Trust or faith or belief? All find their source — not in our emotions, but rather in the Holy Ghost. Are you abounding in His power today?

What has God given to us to teach us and comfort us with? His Word! Are you learning from the Word today?

How does God view You? What Does God Say About You?

Jesus' Blood is an eternal token that God will pass over us and not chasten us with a fatal consequence for our sins eternally. Have you been saved? Have you been born again? Are you ready to accept Jesus as your personal Savior and let God change the eternal destination of your soul? Write us at encouragingchristians@gmail.comLet us help you get saved eternally from the judgment of your sin. If you are saved already, are you telling others about God's love and mercy and how to be saved too?

God's Truth becomes Your Truth. You become fully persuaded that God's Word, applied to your life, is conviction enough for you to obey and live it out by faith. Not to obtain salvation, but because you are saved. Because God is your Father. Because you are His eternal child, born into His family, with a home in Heaven prepared and waiting for you.

Casting off works of darkness is the first half. It is a conscious choice we make to be holy and reflect God in spiritual warfare in the spiritual realm as well as for others to see in our daily lives.

As a living sacrifice you create a desire for God and a godly desire for God's difference in the people of the world you interact with. You are becoming a Christian butterfly.

We all get frustrated when our prayers aren't answered right away or even the way we want them to be. How do we resolve it and work through that frustration?

No matter what you are going through, you are loved by God.

God told Moses to let Pharaoh know that God raised Pharaoh up to magnify His name, so He has done with you. Are you magnifying His name?

Our God is merciful. Our God is compassionate. Is He your God? Are you allowing your heart to intertwine with His merciful and compassionate love for you today?

Through Him that loved us, we have gained a surpassing victory! Are you walking in victory?

Paul asks, “What can separate us from the Love of God?” Nothing! It is not about feeling God's love. God loves us no matter what and nothing will ever change that!

When external pressure and forces take away your stability and you have no emotional stability left, God's Suffering Grace moves from the Holy Spirit through your spirit as you mature in Christ-likeness, to your mind, emotions and your decision making process. His Spirit gives you grace and peace that passes understanding. Be receptive when He moves through your life circumstances to the Power of the Grace of God working in you!

How have you endured suffering in the past? How has it prepared you for what came next in your life?

Job said “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him!

Suffering Grace? Do you need it now?

What Dream, Desire, or Direction has God given to you that He wants to fulfill with His hand on you?

God's Hand is Real. God's Hand is Powerful.

When people see you, as being led of the Spirit, they see Jesus.

Yield to God today as a living sacrifice devoted to Him of your own free will. Live under Grace and stop going back to the law of sin and death. Every time you sin, something in your life dies. Every time you choose to be a living sacrifice before God, something lives!

If Jesus could keep us from feeling the pain, why doesn't He?

Are you hardened or soft? Do you focus on God's goodness and mercy to you personally? Do you believe God is holding out on you and owes you something?

Do you focus on and are you grateful for God's Goodness, Forbearance, and Longsuffering towards you in your life?

When your life feels stuck, keep taking little steps forward through seemingly small acts of obedience. God restores movement through obedience. Prayer. Scripture reading and meditation. Serving others. Fellowship with other believers. Personal discipline. Forgiving others. Worship God - privately and publicly. Reach out to us at Encouragingchristians@gmail.com for prayer or encouragement. We are here to help you.

Has God Forgotten Me? Why does Everyone Else Seem To Be Blessed Except Me? Isaiah 55:8-9“God's silence does not mean His absence.”Hidden seasons still matter.Delay is not denial. Another person's success is not your rejection. God is not running out of blessings!

Do you find yourself thinking: “Nothing matters Anymore.” “I am tired of trying.” “Things never change.” Do you have an inability to feel joy? Are you becoming emotionally withdrawn from others? God even? Do you battle chronic negativity? You are right where God wants you so He can work in you!Reach out to us through email at encouragingchristians@gmail.com

We all go through disappointments in life. It feels like God is silent. He isn't listening anymore. What did we do wrong? Why Did God Let This Happen To Me? Trust Him.

God has a Redemptive Plan for your life. He will restore to you many important aspects and fulfill your heart's desires in the process. He is a good, good Father who loves you. What are you willing to ask Him to restore? Years, relationships, blessings? Ask, and ye shall receive!

Who will you take with you as your spiritual inheritance?

Internal Paths of Righteousness you are led by Go the Holy Spirit on:In your spirit - Purity, Holiness, Discernment, TruthIn your Mind - Renewed Thinking, wisdom, soundnessIn your Emotions - Peace, Joy, Gentleness, CompassionIn your Will (decisions/choices) - Obedience, integrity, right choices

The Holy Spirit will influence your will (decisions and choices you make) to be obedient to the Father and align with Scripture. The Holy Spirit's path for your will leads to Obedience, Integrity, and Alignment with God's purposes for your life.

Emotions - your internal and external feelings. As a Christian - would you describe your emotions as being Holy Spirit governed and Scripture Anchored?The Holy Spirit led emotions reflect His Peace, Joy, Gentleness, Compassion, and Emotional Stability. Do you?When you do not, then return to His Emotional path of Righteousness by: 1) Pouring out your heart to God, 2) Letting the Holy Spirit calm your soul, 3) Inviting the Holy Spirit's fruit, and 4) Refusing to let your emotions rule. The Holy Spirit's path in emotions leads a believer to be peaceful, gentle, and emotionally mature. Is this you?

Thinking Paths Of Righteousness for believers:Renewed Thinking, Wisdom, Sound Reasoning, Scripture-shaped Thoughts, Heaven focused thinking.When you stray mentally from these, return to these mental paths of righteousness by: 1) Taking thoughts captive - 2 Corinthians 10:5; 2) Refocus on Truth - Philippians 4:8; 3) Saturate your mind with Scripture - John 17:17.

When your spirit strays from His Spirit, how do you return?

As a sheep, you are either following your Shepherd or going astray? Who is leading you today?

Sheep walk in paths - some righteous, some not. What paths are you on?

Jesus' compassion was communicated to the whole world through Him giving His life on the cross and shedding His blood for all. Do you have the same heartbeat as Jesus for the lost of this world? If you do not yet know Jesus as your Savior, please email me at encouragingchristians@gmail.com and I will help you get saved and know Jesus personally and help you from the Bible have assurance of an eternal home in Heaven with God - just for you!
