Oh Yes! There is great reason why the scripture says pray without ceasing. Daily we must make a pilgramage to find God. Listen to his voice for instructions for living, not merely existing. Then existing with quality, is to continue praying. Search for the print of his immortal feet to follow. It is the prayers of the diligent that upholds the kingdom. It is wonderful to keep a heart full of prayer. As God gives us power over all powers of the enemy, nothing can harm us in any way or my any means. With our hearts full, we are constantly reminded that we have the keys to the kingdom. Submitted By: Dr. Charity Sephus

sorry the video would not play however: There is a blessing in knowing that all things of earth and heaven connect. We must individually become connected with things of heaven. The connection is unrelentingly present. However if we don't reach up and pull the cord, it is like one with a parachute floating to his death. Jesus said "whosoever will, let him come take the cup of salvation freely". With the heart we believe that we can touch the heart of God and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation which is like pulling the cord on a parachute to avoid crashing to death.

The video would not play;but this one thing I know: The Apostle Paul suggest that to forget the things of the past, and reaching forward to the things to come, that we should press toward the mark and the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. We know that we cannot trust everyone, but God never sent a soldier to battle alone. If we understood everything, would we then need a Savior? But God will provide a way of escape for every trial and every temptation. As we trust in God, his wisdom increases, and our understanding becomes clearer as we need it. Trust in God and Walk on by Faith each day. Submitted By: Dr. Charity E. Sephus

Making room for love, is making room for God because he is Love. We love him because he loved us first. Forgiveness helps to clear the channel for love to enter our room (heart). Thinking good thoughts allows space for Love to abide. How can a person with an aching heart think good thoughts? By stop complaining and give praise instead. Praise is like an ointment. If our problems are large enough to worry us, because they endanger our welfare, they are just right for God. We should never think they are trivial and hold back from giving them to the Lord in prayer. He has a loving ear, and a loving arm. He waits always to enter the open heart. "Behold I stand at the door and knock; If any man hear my voice and will open the door, I will come in.." says the Lord. He does not measure your problems with a tape measure, or a butcher's scale. He handles all things with carefulness because as you cast your cares upon him, "He cares for you" Submitted By: Dr. Charity Sephus

We cannot hold the earth close enough. As we Behold the Beauty of the Lord, with its wind, skies, mists,oceans, flowers and trees, it is because we are alive to the needs of the earth. So when we behold things that we cannot change alone, we obligate ourselves to go boldly to the throne of God to find Grace to help in the time of need. Prayer changes things. We do not have to accept the things that we cannot change, rather call on the Lord because he will answer prayer. Submitted By: Rev.Charity Sephus

Two things continually bubble over me, each day as I earnestly bask and reflect upon then. They are, the glorious heavens without, and the rhythmic beat of my heart within. These things remind me that I am never alone as the heavens declare the glory of God and my heartbeat confirms his presence. Submitted By: Dr. Charity Sephus
