Words To Live By

Phil 1:19-24 KJV

19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

TODAY'S PROMISE

I long to be magnified in your life.

WORDS TO LIVE BY

No matter what is going on in my life or what my situation may be, I know that through the help of the Spirit of Jesus and the prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ, I WILL stand as a victor to the praise and the glory of God.

While I live I live by Jesus and His anointing, and if I die I gain all the more for while I live through the anointing I will continually produce abundant fruit in the spirit, joyfully doing what pleases my Father. Yet if I die I will live in the physical presence of Jesus enjoying my mansion and my fellowship with the saints of heaven and will no longer have to struggle against sickness, poverty and sin.

God is good, and He has left the choice between life and death with me. Even though I desire to go be with Jesus, I know that it is important that I serve those on earth, winning them for Jesus and bringing the kingdom of God into their midst. So, I lay claim to God's promise of a long and satisfying life, and I shall remain in my body until the appointed time of my death!! His praises shall continually be in my heart and spoken through my words!

As long as I'm alive in this body, there is good work for me to do. If I had to choose right now, I hardly know which I'd choose. Hard choice! The desire to break camp here and be with Christ is powerful. Some days I can think of nothing better. But most days, because of what is happening in this world, I am sure that it's better for me to stick it out here. My walk with Jesus is one of persistent courage and unwavering boldness. I refuse to give up on my faith, because I know that He is faithful to keep His promises. He will do what He said He would do, because He has done what He said He would.
Our Father God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever!!!
