Faith Filled Words Job 23:8-10 Job 16:19-21 Job 19:25-27 Habakkuk 3:17-19 Daniel 3:16-18 John 6:66-69 Acts 4:18-20 Luke 18:8 11.30.15

FAITH FILLED WORDS
BREAD

8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him. 9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him; when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him. 10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.”   Job 23:8-10 (NIV)

19 “Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high. 20 My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; 21 on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend.”   Job 16:19-21 (NIV)

25 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. 26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; 27 I myself will see him with my own eyes--I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!”   Job 19:25-27 (NIV)

17 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. 19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.”   Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV)

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”   Daniel 3:16-18 (NIV)

66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.”    John 6:66-69 (NIV)

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. 20 For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”   Acts 4:18-20 (NIV)

“However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”   Luke 18:8 (NIV)

“God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm.   Deep in unfathomable mines of never failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, and works His sovereign will.  Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds ye so much dread are big with mercy, and shall break in blessing on your head.  Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace; behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, and He will make it plain.”   William Cowper   

“I cannot understand Him, but I can trust Him.   And so today, when everything physical and emotional in me is completely drained, and there is not a single note of praise in my heart, I choose to praise Him anyway.  Not for what He does, but for Who He is.  When I cannot praise Him out of joy, I will praise Him out of obedience.  And I am learning that when I praise Him out of obedience from the depths of the pit, it is always more meaningful then when I praise Him out of an overflow of my heart from the heights of the mountain.  And because I know His nature, and I know that even when I don’t feel it, He is still a kind, loving, good God, then I know that soon, He will fill my heart with joy once again.  And the praise will flow easily from the depths of my heart.”    Laura Black

“But there’s a decision that I find God is asking us to make: whether we are going to choose to interpret our circumstances based on what we hold to be true about God, or whether we’re going to judge what we hold to be true about God based on our circumstances. People ask how we’re doing, and I like to say: ‘We have a faithful God.’ Every promise he’s kept, every need he’s met.”   Laura Story

“Give me grace to surmount all difficulties, and to avoid everything that may prove a torment of conscience in the hour of death.”   K. H. Von Bogatzky

“All trials are nothing when compared with the glory which shall hereafter be revealed in, and for, us.”   David Livingstone

“We pray for blessings, we pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep.
We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering.
All the while You hear each spoken need Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things.
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears?  What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You're near?  What if trials of this life Are Your mercies in disguise?”    Laura Story

“See God in everything, and God will calm and color all that thou doest see!  It may be that the circumstances of our sorrows will not be removed, their condition will remain unchanged; but if Christ, as Lord and Master of our life, is brought into our grief and gloom, ‘He will compass us about with songs of deliverance.’  To see HIM, and to be sure that His wisdom cannot err, His power cannot fail, His love can never change; to know that even His direst dealings with us are for our deepest spiritual gain, is to be able to say, in the midst of bereavement, sorrow, pain, and loss, ‘The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.’  Nothing else but seeing God in everything will make us loving and patient with those who annoy and trouble us.  They will be to us then only instruments for accomplishing His tender and wise purposes toward us, and we shall even find ourselves at last inwardly thanking them for the blessing they bring us.  Nothing else will completely put an end to all murmuring or rebelling thoughts.”  Hannah W. Smith

  • ·       God works in mysterious ways. 13 Who has understood the mind of the Lord, or instructed him as his counselor? 14 Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way?

  • ·       I can trust Him with my life even if I may not understand His ways. 
  • ·       If my eye could examine my circumstances from God’s perspective I would see clearly that my trials are merely His mercies in disguise.   7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.   2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (NIV)

The Trial Of Temptation 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Matthew 6:13 Matthew 26:41 Mark 14:37-38 Matthew 6:21-24 1 Timothy 6:6-10 James 1:13-15 11.27.15

THE TRIAL OF TEMPTATION
BREAD

12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.   1 Corinthians 10:12-13 (NIV)

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.    Matthew 6:13 (NIV)

41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”   Matthew 26:41 (NIV)

“Could you not keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”   Mark 14:37-38 (NIV)

21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”   Matthew 6:21-24 (NIV)

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.   1 Timothy 6:6-10 (NIV)

13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.   James 1:13-15 (NIV)

“Be thoroughly acquainted with your temptations and the things that may corrupt you.”  Richard Baxter

“We need to keep our heart full of a sense of the love of God. This is the greatest perspective available to us against the power of temptation in the world...Fill your heart with a sense of the love of God in Christ, and apply the eternal design of grace and shed blood to yourselves. Accept all the privileges of adoption, justification, and acceptance with God. Fill your heart with thoughts of the beauty of holiness...then in the ordinary course of walking with God, you will experience great peace and security from temptation.” John Owen

“Every time we resist the slightest temptation, we honor God.  Every time we overcome even the smallest problem by trusting and obeying our Lord Jesus, God is glorified in our lives.  Whenever we choose character over convenience, faithfulness over ease, or honesty over deceit, we bring honor to the Lord Himself.”  Robert J. Morgan

“To realize God’s presence is the one sovereign remedy against temptation.”   Francois Fenelon

“Contrary to the world's beliefs, the spiritual fruit of self-control does not come about through the discipline of self-mastery, but rather through surrendering ourselves to God's control. None of us fully have the power, capability, or wisdom to master our own lives. You cannot resist all the temptations that are hurled at you, control the behavior of those closest to you, or limit the ideas that pop into your mind. What you can do is surrender your life to the Holy Spirit. You can control how you respond, yield, and submit to Him.”    Michael Youssef

“Temptation has its source not in the outer lure but in the inner lust.”   D. Edmond Hiebert

“Every temptation leaves us better or worse; neutrality is impossible.”   Erwin Lutzer

HEART SAVOR
  • ·       I must watch and pray against temptation.  I easily fall into sin yet holiness is a pursuit.
  • ·       God will not let me be tempted beyond what I can bear but will provide a way for my escape so that I can stand.
  • ·       Contentment is great gain.  When I am enticed by my own evil desires it gives birth to sin.

Grateful Heart Psalms 100:1-5 1 Chronicles 16:8-11 1 Chronicles 16:34 Psalms 136:1-4 Psalms 8:1-9 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 11.25.15

GRATEFUL HEART
BREAD

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.    Psalms 100:1-5 (NIV)

8 Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 11 Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.   1 Chronicles 16:8-11 (NIV)

34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.   1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)

1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. 4 to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever.    Psalms 136:1-4 (NIV)

1 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!    Psalms 8:1-9 (NIV)

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 15 For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?  2 Corinthians 2:14-16 (NIV)

16 Be joyful always; 17 pray continually; 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

“Martin Luther wrote in his book, Table Talk:  ‘The greater God’s gifts and works, the less they are regarded.’  We tend to exhibit a degree of thanksgiving in reverse proportion to the amount of blessings we’ve received.  A hungry man is more thankful for his morsel than a rich man for his heavily-laden table.  A lonely woman in a nursing home will appreciate a visit more than a popular woman with a party thrown in her honor.  If the birds only burst into song once a year, we’d all pay close attention.  But because they are singing every morning, we scarcely bother to listen.”    Robert J. Morgan

“When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement, vowed to Awe Himself, covenanted to Christ and I took the whole of everything He gave in this gloried world into my open arms with thanks.  Because really? Yeah, I guess so -- Anybody can be a cynic. Cynicism is laziness in every way.  The real heroes are the ones who never stop looking for the possibility of joy.”   Ann Voskamp

“The gratitude breaks forth before the bounty has arrived, in the assurance that it is certainly on the way.  The song of victory is sung before the battle has been fought.  It is the sower who is singing the song of the harvest home.  It is thanksgiving before the miracle!  Praise is really the most vital preparatory ministry to the working of the miracles.  Miracles are wrought by spiritual power.  Spiritual power is always proportioned to our faith.”  Dr. Jowett

“Prayer, praise and thanksgiving all go together. A close relationship exists among them. The Scriptures join these three things together. Psalms is filled with many songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving, all pointing back to the results of prayer. Thanksgiving includes gratitude. In fact, thanksgiving is the expression of an inward, conscious gratitude to God for mercies received. Gratitude is an inward emotion of the soul, involuntarily arising therein, while thanksgiving is the voluntary expression of gratitude.”    E.M. Bounds

“Thanksgiving in all things accepts the deep mystery of God through everything.”  Ann Voskamp

“He who can give thanks for a little will always find he has enough.”   Anonymous

“The disease of not-enough… is cured when you give thanks for more than enough grace. He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all — how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?’  If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing Himself to the worst by sending His own Son    is there anything else He wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? (Romans 8:32, NIV, MSG)  If God already gave us the extraordinary extravagance of Jesus He will give the ordinary enough of right now.  It’s always our relentless desire for more that destroys more and more of us. The more you want —- the more you will be destroyed.”   Ann Voskamp

HEART SAVOR

  • ·       The Lord is more than worthy of my praise and thanksgiving.  Every good and perfect gift is from above.
  • ·       Contentment and thanksgiving – learned secrets – are the antidote for the disease of not-enough.  I can do everything through Him Who gives me strength.
  • ·       God always leads me in triumphal procession in Christ.  The One Who gives the power gets the glory.

Zealous Love Numbers 25:10-13 Proverbs 23:17 John 2:13-17 Luke 10:17-21 Psalms 103:1-18 Romans 12:11 11.23.15

ZEALOUS LOVE
BREAD

10 The Lord said to Moses, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13 He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.”   Numbers 25:10-13 (NIV)

17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.   Proverbs 23:17 (NIV)

13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”   John 2:13-17 (NIV)

17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.”   Luke 10:17-21 (NIV)

1 Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 6 The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: 8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. 15 As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; 16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. 17 But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- 18 with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.   Psalms 103:1-18 (NIV)

11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.   Romans 12:11 (NIV)

“Determine what specific goal you want to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader.”    Paul J. Meyer

“Burn brightly without burning out.”  Richard Biggs

“Catch on fire with enthusiasm, and people will come for miles to watch you burn.”   John Wesley

“Love is never a trite feeling. Love is a wildfire in the bones, a burning flame willing to serve — willing to say yes.”    Ann Voskamp

“For eighty-six years I have served Him. He has never done me wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?  The fire you threaten burns for a time and is soon extinguished; there is a fire you know nothing about—the fire of the judgment to come and of eternal punishment, the fire reserved for the ungodly. But why do you hesitate? Do what you want.”   Polycarp

“To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too easily satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.”  A.W. Tozer

“Catch on fire with enthusiasm, and people will come for miles to watch you burn.”   John Wesley

“On Him then reckon, to Him look, on Him depend:  and be assured that if you walk with Him, look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you.  An older brother, who has known the Lord for forty-four years, who writes this, says for your encouragement that He has never failed him.  In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust in Him, He has always appeared for my help.  I delight in speaking well of His Name.”   George Mueller

HEART SAVOR

·       I am to love the Lord with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind.
·       Jesus is more than worthy of my love.  My heart is to burn brightly for Him.
·       The Lord never lets me down.  I can trust and depend on Him.

14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”   Joshua 24:14-15 (NIV)

21 Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing.   1 Kings 18:21 (NIV)

3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.   Psalms 100:3 (NIV)

24 “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 25 O Lord, save us; O Lord, grant us success. 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you. 27 The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine upon us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you. 29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”   Psalms 118:24-29 (NIV)

“Conversion is the lifelong transformational process of being remade into the image of God. It is so much more than simply trying to avoid sin. The focus of repentance and conversion is Jesus, not my sin nor my self. My attachment to sinful ways of being is much too strong to ever be undone by mere willpower. There is no substitute for surrender to divine love as the fuel to propel such undoing. Divine love (accepting of the Gospel- my note) transforms both my heart and my will. Divine love enables me to choose God’s will over mine. Without this, repentance will be nothing more than a self-help scheme based on effort and resolve.”   David Benner

“The only way to end up at the right destination is to choose the right road.”   Warren Wiersbe

“God's mercy is vast and beyond our comprehension. He will never reject anyone who turns to Him for mercy. Nor will He force Himself on anyone who chooses to live without Him.”  Michael Youssef

“God promises us redemption, but His sacred path leads us away from safety, predictability, and comfort.  Any attempt to fly over the dangerous terrain or make a detour to safer ground is doomed because it will not take us to God.  Instead, it leads to a host of other idols that can’t provide us with the confidence of faith, the dynamic of hope or the passion of love we so deeply crave.   Each day we either live for God or for other gods.  In each moment of hardship we fear either God or man.  When we choose to worship gods and fear men our lives will suffer an emptiness and turmoil that is not much different than trying to fill our bellies with dirt.  At first we may feel full, but in short order our violation of God’s plan will lead to torment.”   Dan Allender

“We are all worshipers, created to bring pleasure and honor to the God who made us...It's what you were made to do.  Should you for some reason choose not to give God what He desires, you'll worship anyway- simply exchanging the Creator for something He has created.”   Louie Giglio
