If you want Joy, Real Joy...ask JESUS
to come into your heart and find His
LOVE and PEACE!
Identity of Jesus
Jesus is declared in scripture (Word of God) to be the Great I AM......He answered the questioning pharisees (religious people of that day) “I AM”. He said to the Samaritan woman at the well who spoke of a Messiah (sent one) to come “I am He”. An ancient prophet spoke of this coming one as “The Prince of Peace, Mighty God and Wonderful Counselor”. No-one ever counseled like Jesus. We see that with the woman at the well and various people who came to Him.
After all, many of us go into this stage of life all the time. You might well call death the 'curtain' between Scene 1 and Scene 2. We're in Scene 1 now....we play the part. There's no doubt about that. The Coming of Christ might well be called the 'interval' between this establishment and the next – the commencement of entering into the new.
The Word of God clearly states that “whoever believes in Jesus will not perish – banish in a state of chaos – but have everlasting life – in His Presence, and abundance of riches in Glory”.

sensitive about each-other's shortcomings than we were in
years gone by.

"Let's live in Contentment - Happiness is more tangible that way,
not so far from our grasp"(JV) Would you care to join me?
Contentment is a good thing, it is not dependent on circumstances for our
peace of mind. Can you see the beauty of that? Maybe you will after reading this post.
A family member said these words to me today:
"I am going to enjoy what I have in life.....I am going to be content with the things
that I have and not bother with the things I don't have.
Here in this post are some practical encouragements for day to day living

I call this phenomena revealed by Heart Specialists, Neuroscientists, Psychologists and Various Physicians (collectively) the CHEMISTRY OF LAUGHTER. I've gleaned the following Information from various sources of research.
LAUGHTER IS GOOD for your MORALE and also your IMMUNE SYSTEM.........It Releases Endorphins in your body that are "Feel Good Chemicals" It can be a sure weapon against stress and if practiced regularly - as part of your Lifestyle - it can help to prevent and sometimes relieve Stress Related Illnesses.
At this time, The Lord is calling many of us to walk closer to Him. To come closer - like we were when we first loved Him – and stay in that place of
fellowship with Him.
So many of His children are estranged from Him for months or even years and it was never meant to be that way. It partly has to do with how we are introduced to Christ through the modern day church system, not just the world.
Yes church as we know it Today – with buildings and services – actually commenced with the Roman emperor Constantine in 330 AD, not with the Apostles as is commonly thought.
And we should be thankful receivers when someone blesses us.
Especially The Lord!
So many times we forget to thank Him or do not
recognize what comes from His Hand.
He is so patient and Gracious - let's learn to have a
THANKFUL SPIRIT.
Some principles will be shared here that will inspire many of you to a new
found freedom in these areas. Yes? Come with me.
Someone said unkind and careless words this week I felt I would
really like to bless following a gift she received that she was looking forward to.
How Closely do you Know Him?
Confidence is about a person, it's always about a person – not a theory or a technique. So build your confidence around the Person of God. Spend time in His Presence. This is the way we come to know Him. Acquaint yourself with Scriptures that speak of His Goodness, His Grace and Kindness.
Many of us need a clear picture of Him – situations and circumstances may have clouded our Image of Him. Even lots of sermons can do that. Especially if they don't portray Him well.
