The word Grace is by far one of my favorite words. I just love the way that it sounds, it's so delicate sounding. For a word that is so delicate it sure is powerful!

The Bible dictionary says this:

Grace :

1. Properly speaking that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, charm, sweetness,
loveliness.
2. Good will, loving-kindness, mercy.
The kindness of a master toward a slave. Thus by analogy, grace has come to signify the kindness of God to man.

In addition the work "grace" is given to someone who doesn't deserve it, hence undeserved favor, especially that kind or degree of favor bestowed on sinners through Jesus Christ. Grace, therefor is that unmerited favor of God toward fallen man whereby, for the sake of Christ the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth he has provided for man's redemption. He has from all eternity determined to extend favor toward all who have faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.


Ephesians 2 :8

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Like I said Grace is by far one of my favorite words.

THE POWER OF PRAYER


During this week as I was thinking what to write for my post today , I kept going back to one and that is the power of prayer. And prayers that our fellow bloggers need.



Psalm 4

1.answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness (uprightness, justice, and right standing with You)! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.

Mark 11:24
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will have received it, and it will be
yours.”



At this time we have so many bloggers that need our prayers. I have read a few new blogs this week ,I am so glad I did now I can pray for them in a time of need. One family has touched my heart, I think about them and pray for them daily. Please pray earnestly for Stephanie Nielson and her husband,(click on top where it says about Nie to read the story, they were in plan crash in Arizona. Please read more on this story

Please Pray with Me

Oh Lord our God

Sometimes it is overwhelming being here

on earth

things happen Lord that are just

unbearable

were so thankful that you are here for us

while we try to over come the

pain that we endure while we wait for

you patiently

at this time I would like to pray

for the Nielson family Lord

I pray that you be with the doctors

and help them as they make the

decisions that come upon there way

Please Lord be with the four children

while there parents are not able to

care for them

Please be with the family that is caring

for these children

It will be a long journey for this couple

I pray that they put you first and that continue

to have faith.

It is in your Holy name Jesus Christ

Amen

Faith

2 Corinthians 5:7

(for we walk by faith, not by sight)

~.We know that God is there even though

we can not see him.

We have faith

that he is there.

We have faith

that he is who he says he is.

We have faith

that he will do what he says he will do.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:3
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Hebrews 11:6
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him .

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.

Women Of Faith Infinite Grace

This was my weekend, it started at 7 p.m Friday night

and it went until Saturday 5 p.m.

This is my 3rd year and it always rejuvenates me spiritually. The music that they play and their prayers that they say are just as important to me as the speakers themselves. There were 15,000 women there this weekend (for where two or three are gathered together in my name I am there in the midst of them( Matthew 18:20)

It is a blessing to see so many women in one place praising our Lord Jesus Christ! We laugh together, and cry together, pray together, and sing together.

Every year I think about staying home. I think about how much I will miss my husband ,I think about the time I will miss from work, I think about the price of the ticket, but every year I go I think about how much God wanted me there!

Thank-you for letting me share my wonderful weekend with you. Maybe next year you can think about going also.

I had tears of joy in my eyes because I can just feel his presence there!

God Bless
