Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Godly greetings to our sisters! Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.  Philippians 4:21  Praise God for another day to serve Him and I'm glad to come here and encourage you as well. We've been working hard on the utility cabin and within that, one of my jobs was to burn the wood trim. It's a nice piece of wood before you burn it but it's even better afterwards... Just like the fire of trials we go through in the Christian life....we can be doing well before but come out from them even better on the other side.  I made an audio to encourage us in it all. Or you can listen to it HERE . (As I was working on this post a sister sent this to me...thank you sister!!!) And it's true that others grow stronger when they see a saint walking through a trial while trusting in the Lord, not fretting or fearing but standing strong and pressing through. And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to ...

Greetings sister saints!!! I hope you are all doing well??? A sister is going through a blizzard and sent this picture of all the snow stuck to the window screen and I added the scripture to it.  Amen, a godly woman will work hard to be prepared in her household for all things!  Speaking of being prepared, I wanted to remind us that God is not of confusion and for us sisters to always be on guard, testing all things, being prepared against the evil one. You can also listen to it HERE on the sisters audio page. God offers us everything we need to press on, overcome and endure and if we are lacking something we just need to ask Him.  I'd say that in this instance here in dealing with confusion and the people who bring it. we need to make sure we have and use wisdom. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a w...

 Good evening sister saints! I hope you are all well today? We are rejoicing that the gospel went out in many ways today during our trip to town. Brother James will have a story to share about a worldly man receiving the gospel while his Mennonite co-worker got upset and didn't want to hear it.  He also was able to share many gospel cards in the hardware / home good store.  I ran into a bulk food store to get some cinnamon (and found a great deal on some colored peppers, yay!) and when I walked in, a young Mennonite woman who was working there said 'Hi'.  I'm not used to being greeting in such a nice manner from them and hoped to have her check me out so I could give her a gospel card.  Well, she was the one and when I was done, I gave her an anabaptist card and told her it was good news.  She took it, looked at it and said "I will appreciate this".  The funny thing is, this morning i woke up thinking about stopping there and in the end, they didn't ev...

Greetings sisters! Praise God for this day and I bring you some edification from a sister who loves the Lord and loves her sisters.  I thought you would be encouraged by some sister sharing this morning... I also made an audio about stretching ourselves and encouraging others through various platforms.  You can also listen to it HERE on the sisters audio page. I've done such encouragements before but the life of a Christ follower is one of repetition in many ways and so we have to keep reminding ourselves of all the precepts of God's word so that we can examine ourselves to see if we are walking in all His ways. Brother James did an audio about that the other day and you can find it HERE in case you didn't hear it before.  It's called Repetition In the Lord is Good and Godly. There's another children's post HERE if you're interested.   And I'll share something with you sisters since I just made the audio about it encouraging and blogging e...

Good day sister saints ! I hope you are striving on in the Lord, keeping Him as the focus and remembering why we do what we do for Him.  We don't do it 'to be saved' , we do it because we have been transformed with a new heart and new mind of course as Jesus said, out of your mouth your heart speaks which would also mean our daily life and actions.  If we are truly children of God then we will have the fruit of God in us, amen? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance Matthew 3:8  We are rejoicing for a beautiful day today with some sunshine and clouds, and warmer than the icy cold we've been having. In fact I see one of my water barrels is accessible to water so I can wash clothes. That was after brother James pulled this big ice chunk out! Icy cold water doesn't wash clothes well so I do use a bit of warm to take off the edge and it's still cold but then I rinse in cold and the stick my hands in some warm water to unfreeze them lol.  I'm just thank...

Good evening sisters!!!! Amen we love to praise the Lord!!!!!!  And speaking of, I made an audio to encourage us how we can praise Him, to those around us by sharing the GOSPEL and pointing people to the Lord and His truth.  You can find that audio HERE on the sisters audio page.   I love that!  Thank you sister for making these scripture pictures, how pretty and the precious word of God!   For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.   Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5 We can have victory through Christ and we also want that for our neighbor don't we?  Therefore we strive to share that precious truth with those around us, not stopping until the Lord takes us home!   Look for those door openers sisters and show the world how we give Him His glory!! I have to go for now but hope to come back ...

 Greetings and love to our sister saints! We want to be those obedient children walking in Truth!!! Glory to God and I'm thankful when I know our sisters are walking each day in truth. Speaking of, a sister brought up something that ended up as an idea for an audio today. It has to do with being obedient (walking in truth) and looking at the letter vs the spirit in our lives as godly women. You can also listen to it HERE on the sisters audio page.  Praise God for His word and guidance on how to deal with the situations we come across and of course there are so many different ones we couldn't even count them so using discernment with them all, through His word and the Holy Spirit, will help us make the right decisions that will honor our Father in Heaven. For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.   Psalm 48:14  He is our guide and a loving Father to help those who are seeking His will.

 Good evening sister saints! "We gotta keep pushing on"!  Brother James just said that in reference to getting everything done here on the homestead as time is running short.  Speaking of I'm going to borrow a sisters picture that she made of an awesome sunset that God created... She said that was in a matter of minutes and I mentioned that it shows us how fast time goes and reminds us to redeem the time and we gotta keep pushing on. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.   2 Peter 3:8  Some day, if we endure in the faith until the end, we won't have to worry about time and we will 'be' doing the will of the Father for eternity!  What an awesome hope that is set before us.  Another sister sent this picture of the sunset that God let her see and I added the verse for her. We had ice on the windows this morning but it was cozy warm because the lil woodstove...
