"I will sing of the mercies of the Lord." Psalm 89:1
His mercy is extended. His grace overshadows us. His blessing is abundant. His love is all inclusive! Every need his hand supplieth! No wonder the Psalmist could sing. Mercy's door was open. We can enter in. If you haven't begun your pilgrimage do so now. We'll both be glad you did!

He's all I need
"At the name of Jesus......." Phil. 2:10
Lepers are cleansed; blind eyes are opened; deaf ears are unstopped; crippled limbs are straightened; dead bodies are raised. At the name of Jesus sins are forgiven; carnal hearts are cleansed; victory is assured! He is our all in all! In Him we live and move and have our being. I am truly glad for Jesus. Bless His Name!

This Same Jesus
"This same Jesus...." Acts 1:11
Standing starry-eyes the disciples gazed up into Heaven -- They were at a loss -- what would they do without Him? Who would fill the void His absence left? Would they ever see Him again? Breaking into their revelry the angel said, "This same Jesus is coming again." Anticipate His return! Expect His coming! Occupy till He comes! It could be anytime now! I am expecting Him. How about you?!

Don't Quit
"But none of these things move me...." Acts 20:24
Don't Quit. That's been the theme of my ministry over several Sunday evenings. Life is filled with unexpected temptations and the tendency is to quit running the race and give in. Sickness overwhelms us and we say what's the use. Why not just quit! Financial reverses occur and we throw up our hands in despair and say I'm just going to quit!
Paul had every reason to throw in the towel; every reason to give in but he determined not to quit! There was just too much too lose! I feel that way too. How about you?!

As prayers go up!
"I pray for them........." John 17:9
Many have prayed for me over the years. There was my Pastor and mentor who prayed for me that God would forgive my sins and later that He would sanctify my heart!
Then there have been the lay people who have prayed that God would place His anointing on me as I preached!
Many prayers have gone up on my behalf but none that could remotely compare to the prayers of intercession by my Savior! He Has held me up and kept me from falling! He has led me in the way I should go. Hallelujah what a Savior!

The Right Choice!
"But one thing is needful....." Luke 10:42
Martha was frustrated and fretful. She had put a lot of time into her culinary masterpiece. She wanted everything to be perfect. After all Jesus didn't come by often and she wanted everything to be just right.
She just needed a little help from Mary. Her sister could be so aggravating! If only Jesus would hear her plea for help. Then suddenly she realized He did hear her request but He didn't answer as she expected. He declared, "Mary hath made the right choice." Her focus is right! She realizes that material things are not all there is. She is right where she ought to be.There is no place better to be then sitting at the feet of Jesus and applying His word! I want to sit there too!

Great Things
"The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." Psalm 126:3
We just came from Prayer Meeting a short time ago - God blessed the saints as we rejoiced together. In every pew is evidence of the great things God has done! There are those who testify to His forgiveness; others who speak of His sanctifying power; still others who have felt His healing touch! It is a marvelous place to be! I love to be where God is for where Jesus is tis' heaven there.

Access
"And I will give unto thee keys of the kingdom." Matt. 16:19
The Key wouldn't work! I attempted to start the car but nothing happened. Talk about frustrating. I had no access to the car and no way to move it.
It's like that when it comes to gaining access to heaven. If the key doesn't work or is the wrong one we can't get in. The key of access is called grace and thank God it is available. It comes by faith! Let us reach out and claim it.

Short Term Memory
"Remember His marvelous works that He hath done." Psalm 105:5
Like most of us Israel had a short memory span! She quickly forgot the marvelous way God delivered them from slavery; the way He opened the Red Sea allowing them to cross on dry ground; the way He provided shoes that never wore out. He proved to be all they needed but they readily forgot. We too forget where we were and how far He has brought us! How low we were and how high we have climbed! Lord help us to never forget!

Love Matters
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us." 1 John 3:1
His love bestowed on Calvary included an excess of benefits: there is forgiveness of every past sin; there is cleansing that includes every carnal trait; there is healing of every disease; whatever our need it is provided by His love! I am truly glad for His love. How about you?!

You can stop giving me now!
"So the people were restrained from bringing." Ex. 36:6
You just never hear it! It never happens! I've never been able to say, "You can stop giving now! We have more than we need!" It happened one time though. Israel was so excited about the erection of the tabernacle that they couldn't give too much. They just kept coming and finally Moses restrained them! I Like that! Let us learn the art of giving.

The Power Company
"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power........" John 1:12
I love the word Power. It means authority! Authority to claim the Joy of sins forgiven; authority to realize the peace that passeth understanding; authority to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; authority to leave the confines of this world for a world that knows no sin, sickness or disease; authority to dwell in a land that is fairer than day. Thank God the authority is extended to all who receive Him! Let's claim that authority. It's ours to claim!
