 we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive

My dear friends, I am so excited to share with you, today, a foundational truth, that if you have not already heard and received, will be of great benefit to you. It will possibly assist, in the continual process of the transformation and renewal of your mind, (Romans 12:2) and will in turn help you to have a more effective prayer life, and victorious walk with the Lord.

For most of us, our lives flow along quite smoothly, with only a few bumps in the road. We may meet with certain  obstacles or periodic detours, that are extremely challenging.  Some obstacles are stubborn, and just seem to take their own leisurely time to shift, but they do move eventually with patience and guidance!

My friends, I don't know about you, but I so love the Word of God!
Many times, after I have completed my daily devotional and the reading of the Word.  I hold my Bible in the palm of my hand, thank God for it, and just marvel at what it is, that I actually hold. I never fail to contemplate the wonder and excitement of God’s Word and its power in my life.

My dear friends, I wonder if you are familiar with these words of our Lord.

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (KJV)


When you read these words, do you actually believe them?  I don’t mean at the mind level, I mean deep in the recesses of your heart.

Wow! - I had another awesome and blessed day of worship today.

I truly love my Sundays.

My day of rest, a truly refreshing day, when I need not attempt to fit God into  my day, as all my activities for the day, are based around worship and devotional time with Him - He is my day. It's a day, when I can truly pour myself out to Him in worship, revealing all contents of my Alabaster box. </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thefaithlounge/SWLv/~3/BAY40nD-Wdc/diverse-sundays-are-my-refreshing-days.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Carole in the UK)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hqg2kCUrhAA/TcdzczpGh4I/AAAAAAAABJk/p6FsbaeRtLQ/s72-c/worship-6.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>13</thr:total><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uNXS1E0jMwn03RY29rRqhYiReds/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uNXS1E0jMwn03RY29rRqhYiReds/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

Greetings my friends, my PC has been down for the last two weeks, therefore it has been a little quiet at The Faith Lounge. I have taken the opportunity to carry out more in depth Bible study and have had a great time with the Lord, as He has been loading down to me, creative ideas for my online ministry, which I am so excited about.

Hello, my friends,  welcome to another Faith Bootcamp, where I am led to mobilize my fellow brethren, as we all continually battle to live out the truth of who we are in n Christ.  May we boldly press foward, together, bearing up one another, as did Aaron and Hur for Moses, in his hour of need. Exodus 17:11

Welcome my friends to this first Wistful Wednesday. Thank you for dropping by. May the peace of our heavenly Father, be with you, as He refreshes you today.

Recently, during a time of devotion, I was meditating and reflecting on the wonderful goodness of God.

I used to experience difficulties, sleeping right through the night. Previously, I have woken in the early hours of the morning, with a sense of urgency to begin solving problems, which had been left unresolved the day before. I had often lain in bed, churning over problems in my head, conjuring up different scenarios to resolve those problems.

My friends, have you ever received a word, which has left such an impression, that it felt like a key that had unlocked a hidden treasure. I was given such a key last week, by Cynthia over at Prayer Notes, when she left a comment on my blog. Her 'word' really stirred me up and set me on a quest to know the ways of God even more. Isaiah 55:8.
