. LESSON 142 My mind holds only what I think with God. (123) I thank my Father for His gifts to me. (124) Let me remember I am one with God.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 142

If we are going to put on the new clothes of God's family, we have to embrace our true identity.  In order to help us do that, Paul offers some important rhythms to include in our personal and corporate lives as the people of God.  These rhythms foster a new creation culture for the family of God in Jesus.

We have so much to be thankful for. Oftentimes we don't stop and take a look at our lives to see all that we have. All that God has provided for us. You may have heard this before. “Count your blessings one by one. It will amaze you what the Lord has done.” And indeed he has done so much for us. We forget to thank him for the little things that we do so have. The automatic subconscious things that we do every day without thinking about it. And the big things that we finally achieve. We have a tendency to forget to say thank you. So today I have an exhortation for you about this.   If you want to make the choice to follow Jesus then pray the Salvation Prayer by clicking below   http://chriscreary.com/salvation-prayer/.

In this episode I share about what I learnt about the power of True Love and Forgiveness according to the Word of God.-Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Prov 31:30)- An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. (Prov 31:10)- Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. (Prov 31:25)- He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. (Prov 18:22)- An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. (Prov 12:4)- She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.

Episode Summary:  Are you wondering how gratitude and thankfulness could help us set ourselves up to have a good day? God commands us to come to Him with thanksgiving, but what difference does it make? I'm here to tell you, it changes everything. In this episode, we'll talk about why they're important how the positive impact they have on your well-being and stress level. Quotables from the episode: Gratitude is an emotion expressing an appreciation for what one has as opposed to what one wants. Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what one receives—tangible or intangible—as they acknowledge the goodness in their lives. Remember that being grateful is about appreciating what one has, as opposed to what one wants. Being thankful or thanking someone often implies you are acknowledging your thanks for something that someone has given you. Gratitude helps make us happier, builds positivity, fosters sleep and relaxation, helps increase productivity. It leads to a less self-centered and materialistic life. Gratitude also improves our health and mental health, and helps improve relationships. A grateful person experiences a higher level of positive thoughts like love, happiness, and lower stress level. When we practice gratitude in life, we are creating a happy and less competitive life around ourselves, therefore, our overall well being increases. There are several ways to express gratitude and thankfulness. Scripture References: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:11-13 “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Recommended Resources: Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, available for Pre-Order Now!

Happy Mother's Day! Let's get our hands dirty! We're in the third week of our series, The Garden. Today's message is Joy and Thankfulness

(Japanese) このメッセージでは登牧師がどれだけ私たちが幸せなのかについて以下の2つのポイントから話します。 In this message Ps Noboru talks about how we are too blessed to stress in these 2 points: (マタイ5:1-3 JCB) ある日、大ぜいの人が集まって来たので、イエスは弟子たちを連れて山に登り、そこに腰をおろして、彼らにお教えになりました。(3)「心の貧しさを知る謙遜な人は幸いです。神の国はそういう人に与えられるからです。 (Matthew 5:1-3 NLT) One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, (2) and he began to teach them.(3) “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him,for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. (マルコ10:17-22 ERV訳）イエスがその場から立ち去ろうとすると、ある男が駆け寄ってイエスの前にひざまづいて、聞いた。「素晴らしい先生！私が永遠の命を得るためには、私は何をしなければなりませんか？」18) イエスは答えた。「なぜわたしを素晴らしいと呼ぶ？神のみが素晴らしい。19) それに、神の掟ぐらい知っているだろう？『殺さない、結婚した異性以外とセックスをしない、盗まない、ウソをつかない、だまさない、父と母を敬う』と・・・」20) 男は言った。「先生！もちろんです！私は幼いころから全部！この掟を全て守り続けています！」 21) イエスは心から彼のことを思い、こう言った。「まだ1つ必要なことが残っている。自分の持っている物を全部売り払うんだ。貧しい人たちにお金を与えなさい！そうすれば、あなたは天で富を得る！その後、わたしについて来るんだ！」 男はすごくお金持ちだった。そのためイエスにお金を諦めるようにと言われた時、その男はすごく腹を立てた。こうして、彼は悲しくもその場から立ち去った。 (Mark 10:17-22 NLT)  As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (18) “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. (19) But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.'” (20) “Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” (21) Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven't done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”(22) At this the man's face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 1.感謝の心を取り戻す Come Back to Thankfulness (１テサロニケ5:17-18 ERV訳) 絶えず祈って！ (18) 何があっても、どんな時も、感謝の気持ちを切らさずに！これこそ神がイエス・キリストに属するあなた達に望んでいることなのだから。 (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 NLT) Never stop praying. (18) Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1コリント8:5-6 ERV訳) 天や地に神々と呼ばれる存在がいたり、ある領域をつかさどる霊的な存在が実在するのかしないのかの議論は、本当に重要なことではない。 6)私たちにとって神が唯一であり、神が私たちの父だ。つまり、全てが神から生まれ、全てが神のために存在している。そして主人であるイエス・キリストも唯一で、全てがイエスを通してつくられ、イエスを通して私たちはいのちを持っている。 (1 Corinthians 8:5-6 NLT) There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords. (6) But for us,there is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live. 2.心の成長を求めてこう Grow in Your Heart -How to Do より How to Be を大切に！ (1コリント13:13 ERV訳)その上で、永遠に残るものは3つ。信仰、希望、そして愛。その中でも他の全てに勝るもの、それが愛だ！ (1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT) Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

What are you believing God for? In this podcast, I share about the role of thankfulness in building our faith for what God has promised to do in our lives. It can be so easy to get discouraged, but thankfulness is a huge key to seeing what God is doing and how He's going to come through!

I thank my Father for His gifts to Me. Today let us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought of turning back, and no implacable resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections and a little hesitance, but you can well be grateful for your gains, which are far greater than you realize. A day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the gains which you have made; the gifts you have received. Be glad today, in loving thankfulness, your Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today. Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a function in salvation to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far transcends your meager gifts and petty judgments of the one whom God established as His Son. Today in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair, and raise our thankful eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of thankfulness today, in honor of the Self That God has willed to be our true Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see, and walk with lightened footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do. We do not go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving Word of God to us. And thanks to you for listening to Him. His Word is soundless if it be not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may the message be. Thanks be to you who heard, for you become the messenger who brings His Voice with you, and lets It echo round and round the world. Receive the thanks of God today, as you give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the thanks you give, since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude, and gives them back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He will bless your gifts by sharing them with you. And so they grow in power and in strength, until they fill the world with gladness and with gratitude. Receive His thanks and offer yours to Him for fifteen minutes twice today. And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him will be returned to you in terms of years for every second; power to save the world eons more quickly for your thanks to Him. Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you. Remember hourly to think of Him, and give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son, that he might rise above the world, remembering his Father and his Self.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 123

"Thankfulness to The Band and all the fellas" - Dr. John

Pastor Robert brings a timely word on how to open the doors in your life. Tune in to hear this powerful word.

God is after our worship out of joyful hearts. Psalm 100 has four main points. First, we are commanded to practice public praise and worship, which calls for a need to be together. We are also called to worship in song, no matter our ability. Second, we are called to serve the Lord gladly. Whatever you do, do it heartily for the Lord. We have purpose for Him and His glory, not just in the church but in our community. Third, we are created in His image, and He delights when we get to know Him, especially be being in the Word and meditating on it. Finally, we need to be continuously thanking God for His mercy as well as everything he provides.

Are you happy on the mountaintop AND in the valley? In this message, Tiffany Nunnally shares how to live in contentment in every circumstance.  The key to contentment in life is loving where you live, not longing for what you lack. This doesn't mean you don't feel hope and excitement for the future, but while you're planning for the future, appreciate the present.  Valleys: Typical view of valleys:  low places to endure with help from the Lord, sometimes scary, just waiting until it's time to move out of it back to a mountaintop experience.  God's view of valleys: They are places of favor, abiding, dwelling, rest, harvest, growth, community and protection. Focus on tending to your own grass so you don't even notice neighbor's!  “Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.” Proverbs 4:25-27 Mountains: Typical view of Mountaintops: High places with a exhilarating peak experience – easy fun places where we feel powerful and we want to stay there.  God's view of Mountains: An occasional journey for a purpose, that always requires sacrifice and has to be taken seriously.   Valleys vs. Mountains: Life will always be a combination of valleys and mountains.  Don't confuse safety with being stagnant and don't confuse contentment with complacency.   Keys to contentment:God's desire for us is to dwell in contentment in the valley and gain perspective on the mountain.  1. Let the Lord be your source. “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”  Philippians 4:11-13 “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “I will never leave you or abandon you.” Hebrews 13:5 2. Thankfulness. “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”  1 Thessalonians 5:18You can't feel thankful & complain at the same time. 3. Perspective.  “So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” 2 Cor. 4:18Your perspective comes from your position. If you're seated in the heavenlies with Jesus (Ephesians 2:6) you can see things the way God does. 4. Trust.“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.” Isaiah 26:3-4 “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 Are you content on the mountain AND in the valley?

Finishing out our LIFE acronym with "Enjoy Abundantly," Pastor Jason Huffman defines the "abundant life" that Jesus promised with ten practical points. We enjoy life abundant as we know Jesus, trust Him, understand His Word, choose joy in Him, share Him, and crown Him as king. It is enjoyed even in the midst of pain and confusion, because we have a risen Savior who gives us resurrection power.

Could it Be?   Let me tell you of a really neat thing that happened to me this evening as I walked.    I love to walk and try to do several times a week. Most times my dog is my sidekick, and he gets as happy as a clam to come with me. But then there are those times I need to decompress and just walk.  Today, was one of those times.  I use walks as my calming time, mindfulness time to practice just being in the moment, physical exercise and the proverbial truth of enjoying the smallest of moments.   2 minutes into the walk while I was noticing how the sun was warming my face and my body, I was loving that feeling and soaking it in especially after we just experienced many cloudy days.   It sparked thankfulness which I then started verbalizing.  Mostly in my head so I don't freak too many people out talking to myself.    That quickly after verbalizing my thankfulness, a butterfly thought flew in.   It was a memory that flew in my mind of a particular not so good season of my life. At this very moment in the walk, I realized how protected I was during that time in my life.  We don't always see clearly through the seasons and bad times especially when we concentrate on the questions “why me?”, “why now?”, or just plain “why”?  An alternative question, “what can I learn from this?”, is not always one we start with and especially leave ourselves open to when we are hurting.   The season was rough.  It was in my survival mode time of life where I was just surviving.  I was living life, doing what I needed to do, enjoying life at times as well, but I wasn't quite living my authentic life. I realize that it was due to me protecting myself and circumstances I was in that forced me to go “through the motions” more than living authentically.   But in this butterfly moment, I was realizing how much I was protected and that I have never understood that key point before.  A wave of thankfulness and gratitude came over me.  The sun was not the only thing warming me, but now it was an overwhelming sense of peace and an understanding that became mine.  This feeling, in return, sparked more gratitude. Reflecting back on the now past season, I knew that it was for my protection that certain doors closed, some windows slammed and some paths that I was contemplating on taking, didn't quite pan out for me.   Let me tell you some simple truths in life that I was reminded today in my butterfly thought.  Gratitude sparks gratitude.  Thankfulness sparks more thankfulness.  And positivity breeds more positivity.  That's a whole lot of truth in 3 short sentences and something we can all learn and probably be reminded of in our life multiple times.   Let me repeat that in a different way. If we concentrate on positive things, verbalize them and surround ourselves with more positivity and with people and surroundings of what kind of atmosphere we desire, it really does breeds more of the same.   That is exactly what happened during my first 6 minutes of the walk.   Through the eyes of understanding, we see so much more than what we normally do.  Why do eyes of understanding open?  Or better yet, when do they open?  I am not quite sure.  I don't think we can just open them up and boom, revelations upon revelations pour out.  It could, but more often, there is a little more to it.   Eyes of understanding come with time, age, experiences, and under some conditions like whether we are open to different perspectives or want more understanding.  Are our hearts open to that?  Do we seek it?  Do we calm the clamor in our minds long enough to get a different perspective?  Do we WANT different perspectives? Do we have the patience to wait when we must? All these questions play factors in our journey of life and opening up the doors to more understanding.   Peace came and remained on me through my walk and beyond.  What a beautiful feeling true peace is and when you get it, and a feeling that you begin to desire more.   Does that happen every time I walk?  That is a resounding NO!  Sometimes I am too busy on my walks complaining about what I have coined “the butt burning hill” and how it is affecting me, how tired I am, and oh the burn.    Now I question, what if started off my walk with no noise, and a conscious decision to thank God for 2 things I have in my life right now that come to my mind and think on them? Would it breed more positive thoughts?  Would it bring to my mind another thing to be thankful for?   I believe it would.  It does take practice. There is no doubt of that fact either. The power of choice in our life is so powerful that it can be transforming, however, it not only takes practice but conscious decisions and commitment as well.  I will go on the record of saying the power of choice, and conscious, committed decisions are very needed to allow for the eyes of understanding to be opened.   Think on good things.   If I concentrate and allow myself to complain about my butt burning hill or things in my life that make me feel uncomfortable, negative, or require me to do some mental, emotional or physical work, the likelihood of more complaints and negative feelings is very possible.  Highly likely.   How many times are we steered into a direction that we think is horrible, won't work, and feel forced to deal with a closed door or a slammed window.  How about a blocked path that just doesn't seem to open for us? More than likely, we cry unfairness.   Could it be protection?    Could it be that your best life is around a completely different corner?   Could it be that you are on a journey discovering your authentic self?   Could it be that conscious, committed decisions that feel uncomfortable need to be made?   Could it be that your eyes of understanding haven't opened yet for a particular situation?    It happened to me so it could happen to you.   I will leave you with 3 words.  One short sentence.  Could it be?  You fill in the rest.   With Love,   Kelly Savage Your Life Coach

Pastor David shares Sunday in Dickinson. The Importance of knowing God's will through His Word Mark 11:22-24 You cannot say without doubting if you do not have the Word on the matter. This is why generic prayers never work because there is no Word to back them up. The power is in the faith that the Word of God unleashes! Faith comes only through the Word of Christ Romans 10:17 (AMPC) So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself). Acts 14:8-10 (NKJV) And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. [9] This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, [10] said with a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped and walked. 1 John 5:14-15 What does the Word say about Healing? Healing in the Word: Exodus 15:26 Healing in the first covenant Exodus 23:25-26 Deuteronomy 28:58-61, Galatians 3:13 Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17 Matthew 4:23 Matthew 8:3 Matthew 14:14 Matthew 12:15, Hebrews 13:8 Everything that Jesus did before He is still doing today Matthew 15:22-28 Acts 10:38 Mark 16:18 1 Peter 2:24 Healing and salvation are received the same way: by faith. You cannot earn your salvation, and so you can not earn your healing (Ephesians 2:8). Faith is the door to enter the Grace room, where salvation is sitting on the table for you freely. It is also on this table that healing waits for you. The meal is made, all you have to do is come and eat! The promise is for YOU All of God's promises in Him are yes, and in Him amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20) Thankfulness keeps the door of faith opened so you can receive all that God has done, where unthankfulness locks it shut Luke 17:11-19 Every one of the lepers was cleansed, but only 1 received the creative power of God at work to restore what the leprosy had utterly destroyed By faith this man and the other 9 called on the name of Jesus and were cleansed; by faith the one remained in the power of God and continued in that healing Thankfulness is the voice of faith. Thankfulness is the only appropriate response for a guarantee that what has been promised will be delivered upon. 1 Corinthians 12:9-10 There are different kinds of healing, and healing is different from the working of miracles altogether. The gifts of healings are as He wills, so it can Anytime that the creative work of God is involved, there is a miracle. The miraculous can be seen in a number of ways (such as Jesus calming the sea, or feeding the 5 thousand), but where a person's health and body are concerned, a miracle re-creates destroyed parts of the body or creates what should-have-been but never was. Thankfulness shifts your focus from your inability onto God's ability Israel: an example of unthankfulness When you see what God has done, thank Him for it! Stand on the Word 2 Corinthians 1:20 this promise is for you! Will you receive it?
