Evidence outweight proof.

The evidence of God's presence far outweighs the proof of His absence. One day "...every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Phil. 2:10

Happiness/Joy

Happiness depends on happenings, but joy depends on Jesus!

Safe place

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!" Psalm 91:1-2
That's where our security lies sisters!

Beauty isn't only for the young.

You can't take the credit for beauty at age 16. But if you are beautiful at age 60, it will be your soul's own doing. God's work in us is tough many times, but He knows best and He makes everything beautiful in His own time.

Thanksgiving

Yes, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, but shouldn't every day be a day of thanks? A life lived in an attitude of graditude is a blessing to the One from Whom all blessings flow!
"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Live as if...

"Live as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning and is coming back at any moment!" If you are a devoted Christ follower, He is the focus of your life. We show our love and devotion to Him by loving His people. He told Peter to feed His sheep.  For us that means to be caring and loving to others and in that way, hearts may be open to Him. Make a difference in your world today...for Him.

Counting our blessings

"Many ,O Lord my God, are the wonders which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts towards us; there is none to compare with Thee; if I would declare and speak of them, they would be too numerous to count." Psalm 40:5
We are a blessed people and we should stop often and ponder our blessings.  If we did that, we couldn't help but live a life in an attitude of graditude!

Do things right.

Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.
"Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the Lord with a whole heart..." 1 Chronicles 29:9

Directions for going to Heaven.

Directions for going to Heaven: TURN RIGHT AND GO STRAIGHT!
Psalm 25:8 NLT...
"The Lord is good and does what is right; He shows the proper path to those who go astray." God has got plans for you, BIG plans, but it is only through His Son Jesus that He can carry them out in your life.

Scare the devil

Satan dreads your prayer link to God.  He will try to sabotage it in any way possible.  Don’t let him!  Make a daily appointment with God.   Don’t just save your prayers for a crisis time.  And don’t fool yourself into thinking that you don’t have time.  If you don’t have a regularly scheduled time with the Father, begin with just five minutes tomorrow morning.  You’ll be surprised at how quickly that time will go by and soon it will become a habit too.  (By that time, you’ll insist on more than a measly five minutes!)

“Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning, the devil says,--“OH CRAP, SHE’S UP!”

Jeremiah 33:3—“Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” 

Awesome

A word that is overused in my opinion is the word: awesome. Things like a movie or an outfit or even pizza are decribed as "awesome" when really they are only good or pretty or yummy. The word "awesome" is used to decribe something or someone you stand in "awe" of. And the only One who fills that bill is God. He is definitely awesome and all His works are awesome.
In my opinion, the word "awesome" should only be used when talking about God or the things He has done. To decribe anyone or anything else as "awesome" is disgraceful....something to think about.

don't come apart!

There's a saying that goes: "If Christians do not come apart and rest a while they may just come apart!" If you feel that you are on overload, it is time to download...to the peace and comfort of home, sweet home! I know there is much to do, but we don't have to do it in the next 10 minutes!  Busyness is a tool of Satan, slow down and reconnect with Father God. He's waiting for you. (and me)
Mark 6:31..."And He said to them...Come away by yourselves to a lonely place and rest awhile."  

"...with God all things are possible."

Sometimes we tend to put God in a box, (set limits on Him) when we should be putting our problems or our past or our bad habits in a box and throwing it in the trash.  We forget that God is limitless.  Nothing is impossible for Him. 

Mark 10:27—“…with God all things are possible.”

I am excited to tell you that my web site is finally up and you can review and order my book from there. Go to www.barbarageer.com Many of the 52 Bible studies in the book are things you already know, but are a reminder of what God wants us to know and understand.  Some things might be new to you and causes you to further study God's Word for yourself. If you use it for individual study or get together with a few sisters, the time will be a blessing to you. 
I'm also happy to tell you that this book is an inspiration from Father God, because I'm not that smart on my own.  He gives us many resources to encourage us to grow in our faith. I hope you choose to use this one.

Life

Life is like a coin.  You can spend it any way you like, but you can only spend it once.  If you are loving and serving God in this short earthly life, be assured that the hereafter life will be joyful indeed!
Eternity is a long, long time!

You are a Princess

God says...you are a child of His if you've accepted Jesus into your life.  That means you are a child of the King...a princess!  Do you walk like a princess? talk like a princess? Is your attitude representing your Royal Family one of caring and serving His people? Being a princess doesn't mean acting like a diva.
Being a member of the family has it's privileges and it's responsibilites as well!

Psalm 27:8

"When Thou did say, "Seek My face, my heart said to Thee...Thy face, O Lord, I shall seek." Psalm 27:8
If I seek the Lord with my heart, I will truly find Him.  Abundant living follows that and growing in faith.  When I know Him here on planet Earth, He will know me when we're face to face in eternity!

Lesson on love

One proof of our love for our Heavenly Father is how much we love His children. Sometimes that's a challenge because sometimes His children aren't so lovable and that includes us!   Loving through the seed of God's love within us is called Supernatural love!

Confidence Builder

This is a confession to say (aloud) over your life when you are feeling unsure:
I am determined and confident! I am not afraid or discouraged, for the Lord my God is with me wherever I go. (Joshua 1:9) In quietness and in trusting confidence I find strength. (Isaiah 30:15) I will look to the Lord and confident in Him I will keep watch; I will wait with hope and expectancy for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. (Micah 7:7) I approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that I may receive mercy and find grace to help me in my time of need. (Hebrews 4:16) I can do all things through Him who gives me strength! (Philippians 4:13)
