Take Up Your Shield

God is who He says He is!
God can do what He says He can Do!
I am who God says I am!
I can do all things through Christ!
The Word is Alive and Active in me!

to the girls of Wednesday nights

I love the facebook message system but I also thought it would be fun if we could blog about our time together in Bible study. We shall see how this works out.... I sure am excited though !!!

  1. Praying that we have an uncontainable faith and believe our God to be absolutely HUGE as we move forward in the journey. May God make our paths straight and fill our lives with the fruit of faith. Let's be "caught in the act" of believing Him today! (Hebrews 11:6)

  2. Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
    Isaiah 50:7 --- Sounds like RESOLVE to me!

  3. 1 Timothy 4:4-5
    For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer... (which then took me to)
    Hebrews 4:12
    For the word of God is LIVING and ACTIVE. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to diving soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart... (which took me to)
    1 Corinthians 14:25
    The secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God exclaiming, "God is really among US!"

    It blows my mind (still) at the power that God has through His word! Always ALIVE and ACTIVE throughout our lives and we don't always see it.

  5. Ok ladies! MY GOD ROCKS!!! You know how last night I was talking about wanting time with God where I was just yearning for Him and loving on Him. Well last night I was laying bed tired but couldn't fall asleep so I started to pray, I started praying to God to make my faith like a stream (I know that that was completely God because it seemed random to me). I prayed that He would be the shore that guided me along my path and that He would replenish my faith with the raining of His truths everyday. I prayed that He would use His word to keep me from staying idol in one spot, and I prayed that when my way became rocky and difficult that He would guide me along my way... I can picture a flowing stream now :)
    HERE IS THE COOL PART!! I looked up in my Bible the word water to see what verses I could find and I found
    Psalm 42:1-2
    As the deer pants for STREAMS of water, so my sould pants for you, O God. My sould thirts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
    Which is exactly what I have been talking about wanting!! But there is more... I looked up the word stream to see if they had anything and I found Amos 5:24
    Let justice roll on like a river, and RIGHTEOUNESS LIKE A NEVER-FAILING STREAM!!
    Just like in Romans 4!! When God is talking about crediting faith with righteousness!!! I know I am where I am supposed to be now. I keep letting defeat take over when really God is working on me! :)
    I want my faith to flow like a stream of righteousness!!!
