"It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things."
"The only people for me are the mad ones - the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles."
He Prays for You
“Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself [Himself] maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26, KJV).
Prayer is our mighty force for supernatural living and the most personal, intimate approach to and relationship with God. Through the instrumentality of God’s Holy Spirit, we have access to the Almighty, leading the way to supernatural living.
In some theological circles there is much skepticism and hesitancy about the Holy Spirit. We must not forget, however, that Jesus Himself had much to say about the Holy Spirit.
In John’s gospel, for instance, Jesus explained to the disciples that it was necessary for Him to leave them in order that the Holy Spirit should come to them. “He shall guide you into all truth…He shall praise Me and bring Me great honor by showing you My glory” (John 16:13,14 LB).
Just as the Holy Spirit transformed the lives of the first- century disciples from spiritually impotent, frustrated, fruitless men into courageous witnesses for Christ, He wants to transform our lives in the same way. We need only to surrender ourselves and by faith we will be filled with His power.
It is the Holy Spirit who draws us to the Lord Jesus whom He came to glorify. He makes the difference between failure and success in the Christian life, between fruitlessness and fruitfulness in our witness. Through His filling of our lives with God’s love and forgiveness we are “born again” into the family of God.
And it is the Holy Spirit who not only enables us to pray but who also prays on our behalf, as today’s verse clearly points out.
Mervin was a curious, extroverted camper. Always keeping up with the front of the pack, mainly just to ask questions.
“What you mean they’ze Snipes?” Mervin inquired.
Obviously, the old folklore of “Hunting Snipes” had never been imparted on these children.
“Yea Mervin, there are…
In the times that we become too preoccupied with our emotions or conditions, in the times that we seem to be forgetting who our God really is and what He’s capable of, He still loves us. He still holds us protectively. Our faith is not about how well we obey the commandments, or how we understand the Bible, but it is about our faith in Jesus’ love, and what He has done on the cross.
Sometimes, what we see and feel get the best of us, but God will never withhold His best from His children— even if they are doubting. These ordeals will never last, but His love will. It is the only thing that can keep us warm and peaceful during the storms that threaten to overthrow from our Rock. He wants us to always keep our eyes and trust on Him.
Whatever happens, His love for each one of us will never change. His love for each one of us will keep us alive, no matter how dry or lifeless we feel. Jesus will revive us.

Thoughts to lift you up tonight!
If God is all you have, you have all you need.
Don’t give up on God, because He never gave up on YouGod’s promises are like stars; the darker the night, the brighter they shine.
Don’t mistake God’s patience for His absence. His timing is perfect and His presence is constant. He’s always with you!
God’s plan is so high & above our understanding that the only way we’ll truly be able to fathom it is by taking this life day by day. #Truth
Life was throwing curve balls at me left and right . But then God gave me a bat and showed me how to swing .Disappointments are just God’s way of saying: “I’ve got something better”’ Be patient, live life, have faith.
Its 2012 after all, Anything could happen!!
