Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Greetings sisters in Christ around the world! How wonderful to know that God has His people, all over, shining their light and bringing Him glory! We daughters of the most High, have our own callings, in our own places and we are all to do what we do to the best of our ability, rejoicing for the opportunity to do so.  I can still feel the residue of my past wretched life, at times, and it only serves to press me on more!  When we encounter trials and tribulations, it makes me strive harder.  When people come at us from all different directions or we endure much vexation from the world on a daily basis, it presses me on to be even more steadfast in my walk.  I pray that is so with you also! The more you walk, the stronger you get, we see that in the saints all over.     11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 13  Wherefore...

Greetings sisters in Christ, I pray you truly are standing strong in the Lord, His Word and not getting swept away with the cares of this world.  When we read Revelation and Daniel, we see the end times coming closer, add to that the issues going on right now.  Viruses and the governmental exploitation of them, 'talk' of volcanic activity in some areas, earthquakes and tornadoes leveling parts of cities, unscrupulous dealings with those in power and the list goes on and on.  It's simple to overlook a lot of that when it's not directly affecting us but when it touches our life and makes radical changes, we all have to be sure that we are looking to the Lord and not the news.  There's nothing wrong with checking to see what's going on in the world but I ask you to examine yourself to see if your joy is based on whether the latest issue is going to abide and everyone gets back to normal or is your joy based on the Lord no matter what?  If you watched the world an...

Greetings sisters in Christ! In this post I wanted to share some encouraging scriptures to lift your spirits. 3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4  To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5  Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full...

Greetings sisters! I pray this day finds you well and striving on in the Word of God. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13) As brother Jim and I are out in the world, him doing the work of an evangelist (1 Timothy 4) and I being his helper (Genesis 2), we are always encouraging each other with this verse: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9) Amen, let us all continue to press on! While we were traveling to our destination the other night I was thinking about how joyous it is to be a keeper at home.  Mine just happens to be a home that needs oil changes and always moving:-) but just the same, all of us godly women should be thankful for the role God has given us.   There were some years in my life right before I was transformed by the gospel, that I hated being a woman and strove hard to be equal and above men.  I succeeded i...
