Hold Your Ground

1 Chronicles 11:14

In this passage, David and Eleazar find themselves surrounded. The odds were against them. Or was it? Just as Elisha saw heaven's army ready to fight against the Syrian army, there was an invisible force at work.
One can assume David did not fight in his own strength, but his strength came from the faith that was bred by experience. This was not his first battle.
Instead of waving the flag of surrender, he and his leaders stood their ground.
They stood their ground, and the Lord saved them.
God saved them in response to their faith. Their faith moved God.
Had they no faith, they would have run in fear, faith's opposite.
When we feel surrounded, stand your ground in the word and prayer. Do not give in to the reasoning of the carnal mind- "I may as well give in", "this is how everyone would handle this". Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.

Warmest thoughts and prayers, Chantel

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

all we need , is in Him

Colossians 2:8-10, 12 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. sin nailed to the cross - image from web Philosophy, traditions, and all the other ways man uses to try and  understand God can only get us so far- if anywhere at all. Sometimes fooling with the newest method and the trendiest biblical insight, or perspectives, takes us in circles. The surest way to learn God, and to get understanding of His Word is through the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that only the Spirit of God can know the things of God. And everything that is God, can be found bodily in Christ. In Christ we a...
