The Beheading of John the Baptist

"At her mother’s urging, the girl said, “I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!”
(Matthew 14:8 NLT)

"Happy are those who are attacked on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs."
(Matthew 5:10 BBE)

Jesus is the Sower of the Seed

"But the Word of the Lord (divine instruction, the Gospel) endures forever. And this Word is the good news which was preached to you."
(1 Peter 1:25 AMP)

God Never Fails!  His word never fails.  His will never fails.

In the Name of Jesus

Philippians 2:10-11

"At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

"Behold I am with you always."(Matthew 28 :20)
God Never Fails!

A Pearl of Great Price

"Again the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it."
(Matthew 13:45-46 AMP)

When you find the Pearl of Great Price, all these things will be added to you!

The One Thing Necessary

"But the Jesus said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!  There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
(Luke 10:41-42 NLT)

Ask for the One Thing Necessary: The Holy Spirit!

All things work together

Everything is as it should be.
No fear. No worry. No doubt.

Romans 8:28
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

Isaiah 55:8-9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

      

The Holy Spirit is the Source of Power

"That night the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”
(1 Kings 3:5  NLT)

Ask for the Holy Spirit.  Again ask for the Holy Spirit!

My grace is sufficient for you

"Blessed the men whose strength you are!  They go from strength to strength."  (Psalm 84: 5, 7)

"I promise to be your strength in proportion to the trust you place on me."  -  Jesus

Restore our fortunes

Psalm 126: 1-2

"When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

With Jesus is the fountain of life

Jeremiah 2:12-13

"Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water."

Beware of the temptations to wealth and comfort.

Chosen and appointed before birth

Jeremiah 1:5-6

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Then Jeremiah said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”

Say not: I am too young or I am too old.  Or too poor or too rich. Or too sick or too healthy. Mission comes with power.

Mary Magdalene has seen Jesus

John 20:15

"Jesus said to Mary Magdalene , “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

"Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” 
You too be an evangelizer today

Come Lord Jesus

Revelation 3:20

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me."

Come right in Lord Jesus!

I leave the rest to God

We are nothing without You, LORD

Isaiah 26: 12

"Lord, You will ordain peace (God’s favor and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us and for us all our works."
(Isaiah 26:12 AMP)

Children know some secrets

Matthew 11:25

"At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children."

What does God reveal to the little ones?  The mystery of the death of Jesus Christ.

God upholds His city.

"If you will not believe and trust and rely [on God and on the words of God's prophets instead of Assyria], surely you will not be established nor will you remain."  (Isaiah 7:9 AMP)

Unless your faith is firm, you shall not be firm.

Lift up the Cross

Matthew 10:38

"And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."

Where is your cross?  Family, Finances, Job, Health, Property, Worrying about the Future?   Rejection of the cross is rejection of Jesus Christ.
