Hold on
Because faith is not a feeling… From Ellen G. White “After Praying, Continue to Claim the Promise—After the prayer is made, if the answer is not realized immediately, do not weary of waiting and become unstable. Waver not. Cling to the promise, ‘Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.’ Like theContinue reading “Hold on”
The fight
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have had this on my mind recently: What is life really about, if not being a reflection of God’s love, character and image? Life is a battlefield (no, not a Pat Benatar reference). As we grow in our characters with God’s power and help, we must fight our own natures andContinue reading “The fight”
Your Future
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we are afraid of what the future holds. We are usually afraid of things we don’t understand or things we can’t control. Uncertainty. It’s a scary thing.

Doing for Christ
By: Ellen G. White “Wake up, brethren and sisters. Do not be afraid of good works. ‘Let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.’ Do not wait to be told your duty. Open your eyes and see who are around you; make yourselves acquainted withContinue reading “Doing for Christ”
The Lord will provide
Based on Tony Evans: Jehovah Jireh-The Lord Will Provide message (click here to listen) Sometimes, a condition to a blessing is action. God provides when He sees us act in faith. Jireh, means to see. Provision requires pre-vision. “It’s when He [God] sees, that He provides.” “Could it be you’ve been waiting for five years for something GodContinue reading “The Lord will provide”
