Encouraging Christians

Emotional Overload? How do we handle it? Coping Mechanisms. What are your favorites? Have you grown through them yet?

Cancel Culture was a habit of the Pharisees, not of Jesus. Christians who practice “cancelling” people in some way are not following the Spirit of God and aligning themselves with Jesus and the Word of God. Please avoid this trap from the enemy.

Redemption means being bought back from slavery - spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and morally. Have you been redeemed? Do you live like it?

Faith is not the absence of struggle. Every one who believes in God and follows Him by faith wrestles with surrender in some area.

Gideon had faith, but it was fragile. God met Gideon and God grew Gideon's faith. Can He do the same with you?

Is your life about self-indulgence or are you motivated to invest in others and fulfill your calling?

Nebuchadnezzar had so lifted and built himself up that he had a 90 foot tall statue of himself made and caused others to bow down to it. When he fell, he fell hard. Only God could pick him back up after he became humble. Don't be so proud that God has to knock you down to get you to become humble.

What was God's last Word of instruction or direction to you? Have you obeyed it? Who all has been impacted by your obedience?

God uses trials and difficulties we endure to unlock potential blessings in us to impact others. Trials can produce growth in parenting, marriage, and ministry to others. What is God unlocking in you as you go through your trial right now?

Trials are not what anyone desires or wishes for. Yet, God uses trials to set us up for blessings to future generations. How is God using your trial in your life? How will God use the fruit He is producing in you now to bless others?

God allows trials (fires) to remove sin, pride, and fear, preparing our hearts for growth, maturity, and blessings. Life challenges, even traumatic, painful ones, are opportunities for character refinement and spiritual maturity.

New wounds. Old wounds. Spiritual wounds. Emotional wounds. Life choice/decision wounds. Many physical wounds. Jesus heals our wounds. Do you have any wounds you need Him to heal today?

Do you practice Fasting as a believer? Do you walk with God? Do you want to walk with God more intimately? Do you want to have a greater impact for the furtherance of God's Kingdom? Will you incorporate fasting into your Christian experience?

Believers who are walking with Jesus have a warm temperature that continually rises. Are you walking with Jesus today as you should be? Do you need to ask yourself, What's Wrong With Being Lukewarm?

We are commanded in Scripture to be Holy as God is Holy. That means keep ourselves free from defilement. Our minds, our eyes, our mouths, our hearts, our lips, our choices. Do you say things that are defiling? Do you think thoughts regularly that are defiling? Do you keep your self clean and pure to the best of your ability? Do you try to defile others? Have you been defiled?

Are you willing to lay yourself before the Father and yield completely over to Him today?

What does your Spirit-Filled path look like for you today? Sharing the good news of the gospel? Carrying your cross? Helping your spouse through pain? Endure suffering? Jesus went to the cross Spirit-Filled— 100% God and 100% man. He surrendered to the Father's will. Are you?

Acts 2:11-12

Jesus took my judgment in His body on the cross, Jesus replaced judgment from God with Peace with God through Justification. Have you received eternal peace with God through Jesus or do you still fear Judgment for eternity in the Lake of Fire? You can get peace with God right now:Acknowledge your sin - all the bad things a person does- what you have done that you know is wrong. Recognize your penalty - eternal separation from God forever in the Lake of Fire.Trust Jesus' payment on the Cross - Jesus paid your penalty when He (sinless) shed His blood for you (sinful) and died in your place.Ask God to forgive you for your sin based on Jesus payment and give you the gift of Eternal Life. Let me know if you need help.Write me at EncouragingChristians@gmail.comLet us encourage you and help you get discipleship.

Jesus paid for my death and gave me eternal life in its place. He replaced my death with eternal life. Has He replaced yours? Write me at encouragingchristians@gmail.com and let me know so I can pray for you. Discipleship is really important and we all need to be grounded in the Word and grow in the Spirit. Please let us here at Encouraging Christians know how we can help you.

Jesus' name is as powerful as it's ever been. Jesus is still healing people today. What do you need healing from?

Don't let control based coping keep you from experiencing God's blessings in your life.

How far are you from God? How far is too far?

Destiny today and destiny tomorrow. Don't get out of your God given boundaries and derail yourself from God's best for your life.

Self-Control or Impulsivity which controls you more?

In God's master plan, how do you and I fit in? God has a plan and His plan includes you. How do you fit into His plan? Are you good enough for Him to use?

Do you have known since you harbor or allow to stay in your heart? That very sin keeps a wall up in your heart from transparency, honesty, and nearness to God. Confess it as sin to Him. Draw near to Him and He responds with nearness to you.

When we sin, we fail. We feel distant from God. We avoid God. Our intimacy with God weakens. When we draw near to God, He responds with nearness to us. If you want to feel and be closer to God. Get closer to Him right now.

Have you been born of the Spirit?

James 4:8 states, “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.”Do you feel close to God?Are you close to God? Do you want God to feel and be closer? Move closer to God and He responds with nearness to you.

Are you 100% certain, if you died today, that you are going to Heaven for all eternity? Would you like to be?Write us at encouragingchristians@gmail.comWe want to help you personally know you are going to Heaven.

Are you allowing God to restore your soul Biblically? Are you going to the world's counselors and getting subpar help for your soul and putting a bandaid on something God wants to heal completely? Go to God for your soul's complete restoration.

God's Love is an intricate part of your Soul being restored by God. Do you reflect on His love for you enough?

Jesus stopped and stood still for the blind beggar outside of Jericho. He gave him His undivided, full attention. He healed him. What do you need the Son of God to heal in your life today? Don't be silent in your faith, be bold, be loud. He will miraculously heal and meet your need today!

You are blessed by God and surrounded by His favor. God loves you. How do you see yourself? A sinner? A sinner saved by grace? A redeemed child of the King of the Universe? How you see yourself impacts every aspect of your life.

You are Blessed and Highly Favored. Bask in God's Favor on your life.

Whatever you are going through, child of God, you are not alone. God is with you. Isaiah 43:2

Either we guide our emotions or our emotions guide us.

God restores your soul. He loves you. He wants you to be whole. One way God restores your soul is through you getting into His Word. Let Him restore you today.

God has you today. God has you tomorrow.

After a long days assault when the enemy sends fiery darts after fiery darts your way, and you may get attacked, not only in the spiritual realm with attacks on the mental and the emotional and the spiritual, but even in the physical realm people who say they love you, people who are your friends, people who are your family, people who are your coworkers, or people who go to church with you. It's when you lay down at night and you meditatively pray the following prayer: “Lord today the enemy sent fiery darts, but your word says I am more than a conqueror through Christ. Nothing can separate me from your love. I lay down in peace or shalom because you keep and guard me. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. In Jesus' name, I rest in your victory.”

Weapons are formed against us. But they will not prosper.

When the enemy attacks you all day, what Bible verse keeps you grounded best?

Power is structured. Words carry weight because of position.Delegation plus humility = multiplied influence.

Honor others before you expect them to honor you. Jesus died for you and I when we could do nothing for Him. Do you honor people in your every day life?

How do you and I interact with others as an authority in their lives.

God sees and knows every heart—including yours! What's in your heart?

Focus on good treasures. Embrace good treasures. Be filled with good treasures. Abound with good treasures you share with others.

A good heart has good treasure in it to share with others. An evil heart has evil treasure to share with others. What is in your heart?

Affliction is temporary but Glory is eternal. Suffering shapes believers into Christ's likeness. Suffering detaches us from this temporary world and anchors us in eternity.

Trials test and stretch our faith in various and distinct ways. How is your faith being tried right now?
