Grow

As we grow in Christ, we become more like Him. But to grow we must spend time with Him. It is through those daily experiences that we take on His nature; through the experiences as we walk this walk through life with Him. The imperfections on the inside are gradually replaced with more and more of Him. Only He can change the inside. ~ DickEvans.org

God's Armor

There is an enemy out there ready to come against us, an enemy that is sneaky, manipulative, and inviting. Daily we must go into the world dressed for battle with every piece of God's armor in place. We must get dressed for the season. ~ DickEvans.org

Transformation

When we accepted Christ into our life, we became a new person. We were given the mind of Christ even though we might not act like it right away. There is a transformation period that begins the instant we become a believer until we go on to be with God in eternity. If we let Him in each day by reading His word and by building our relationship with Him, He changes the way we think. The more we begin to think as He thinks, the more we come to know His perfect will. ~ DickEvans.org

Stuff happens

Stuff happens to each of us. The difference as believers is in how we handle it. Love makes the difference. We are called to follow Jesus in all that we do and He did not retaliate. He did not get even. He turned it all over to God and moved on. ~ DickEvans.org

Obey

First we must believe in Jesus. Then we must obey all that He tells us. That was all, not some of it. And we hear Him in His Word as we read each day. We hear Him in the nudging we get from Holy Spirit. And we hear Him in answer to prayer. As we ask Him, He answers, but then we must obey. ~ DickEvans.org

Temptation

Anytime we move off that straight and narrow path, we slip onto the unpaved roads of life filled with temptation to sin. We might be well within our society's rules and laws, but not walking the path God has for us and that is sin. It is time that we stop letting temptation lead us; time to stop being a slave to sin. ~ DickEvans.org

Nothing is Impossible

Philippians 4:13 NKJV
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

You gain confidence through knowing that Holy Spirit is with you—that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: “If such and such happens, can I handle it?”

The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and Holy Spirit together can handle anything that occurs.

It is this knowledge that he who is in you together with you that gives you confidence to face the day cheerfully.

He who spoke the universe into existence is with you; is in you. There is nothing too big for out God. There is nothing too messed up for Him.

No matter where you find yourself, Holy Spirit is with you pointing to the way out; the way to the perfect path of peace.

Love overcomes all adversity. Look to the light even when you find yourself in darkness. Then be the light that pushes back the darkness letting the love of the Lord shine bright.

Believe it and receive it
