"Royalty"

06.25.2015


To my brothers and sisters in Christ,                                                                        

We are royalty the children of a King called by God to live a Holy life.  Our children are gifts from God so let us celebrate them and be a Holy example, as we speak and act in sincere Love and provide them the grace that God gave us.  Let’s journey in our walk of faith being guided by our fear and reverence unto God, as we grow in our likeness of Christ.  

Shine not so others see you, shine so that through you others see Him.”

“Heavenly Father, I pray that your Spirit will awaken us, enable our eyes to see, our ears to hear and our hearts to respond.  Rid us of our selfish desires that we may live our daily lives in accordance to your will, bringing glory and honor to your name.  In Jesus name, Amen”

Finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind, be alert and keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:10-18) NIV

Here is a trustworthy statement: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task.  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.  He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.  (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)  He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.  He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. (1Timothy 3:1-7) NIV

Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. (Proverbs 4:23) NIV

With Love,
