No one likes to suffer and it is one part of the
gospel that we do not like to hear. Yet
suffering is part of taking up your cross and
following Jesus. He said to take up your
cross and follow Him. Are you willing to
take up your cross and follow Him? This is
a question that you need to ask yourself.
Are you truly willing to die to yourself, take
up your cross and follow after Jesus. It will
mean dying to all you are or ever will be. It
will mean sacrificing and giving up all to
follow Him.
Search your heart and ask yourself this
question? Am I willing to die to self, take
up your cross and follow Jesus.

It Is Required of a Steward That A Man Be Found Faithful
God is looking for faithfulness and calling you to be
faithful. He is looking in this hour for faithfulness.
Continue to walk forward in faith and put total trust
in the Lord and believe Him for the things that He
has spoken to you. The Lord will never fail you.
Jesus never fails and not one word of Gods promises
will fail. Many are going through great trials and
testings but know this. At the end of your trials
you will come out pure gold. You will be Christlike
and Jesus will be seen in you. Though the tests
for the moment do not seem pleasant God is
working in you a far more eternal weight of glory.
Just allow the Lord to work in you and do not
struggle. Just rest in His hands and allow Him
to take you and mould you into His image.
How awesome to be formed into the image of God.
You are perfect now because of the blood of
Jesus but are being conformed to the image of
His dear Son. We often sing, O To be like Jesus
but do we truly mean it from the bottom of our
hearts. Lets mean it today when we ask the
Lord to work in our hearts. Let us mean it and
say, Lord change Me.

A Fearless Church
I am bringing forth a church that is filled with faith.
There will be no fear in My church for I am working
to remove all fear from My children's lives. It is time
to walk forward together in faith. Put trust in Me
and allow Me to work within you and bring a new
confidence in the truth that I am your Father and
what man would bring, or the enemy would bring
hold's no weight in your life. Listen to Me. Totally
trust that I the Lord am able to speak into your
life and be all that you need. I am all that you
need to have success in your walk with Me.
Success comes from time with Me and living at
the foot of the cross.
