If you believe all things to be possible and leave no room for doubt, what you ask or command will be done.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Faith that Moves Mountains

 

According to your faith, so you will receive.

 

Many will come in the last days, from every corner of the earth, and enter into the kingdom of heaven. But the self-righteous and pious, who thought they would be first, and yet lived their lives without faith, will not enter in.

 

If two agree by faith, my Father in heaven will grant their request. For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I am present with them.

 

If you believe all things to be possible and leave no room for doubt, what you ask or command will be done. This is why I tell you: whatever it is that you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and you will.

 

As you live your life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever you allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.

 

Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful and humble I read the Words of my Lord Jesus; ‘These words I have spoken to you, that in me, and in your obedience to them, you might find peace. In the world you will experience pain and trouble, but rejoice, for I have overcome the world.’ And I know I have not been obedient, yet because of Him I am forgiven, and through Him I learn about You, and I know in the Spirit which is alive in me, and through Him I am with You, and in You with Him in the Spirit I feel peace, the peace only You through Him who overcame that which I cannot will His Spirit lead me back home to You. I give thanks and listen attentively in His Words. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Seal the cross openly on your forehead and on your children’s, so that the demons, seeing the royal sign, will tremble and flee.

Isaiah 29:17-24

17  Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?  18  In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.  19  The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.  
Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14

4  One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.  13  I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!  14  Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the LORD! 
Matthew 9:27-31

27  And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."  28  When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."  29  Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."  30  And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, "See that no one knows it."  31  But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:

The Processes: Ask and It Is Given, Volume 2 (Unabridged) Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, which presents the teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, will help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve. As you listen, you’ll discover powerful processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life. It’s your birthright to live a life filled with everything that is good, and this audio program will show you how to make it so in every way!

There’s No Such Thing as "Business" Ethics (Unabridged) Best-selling author and expert on leadership John C. Maxwell claims there is only one rule for business. How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it’s clear. You know Enron’s leaders were in the wrong. But is it always easy to see where the line is in your life? What’s the standard? And can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. When the New York Times best-selling author, successful businessman, and former pastor was asked about his thoughts on business ethics, his response was, "There’s no such thing. There’s only ethics." Maxwell asserts there’s one ethical standard for all behavior. And you might be surprised by what it’s based on. Did you know that a variation of the Golden Rule exists in every major religion? In There’s No Such Thing as Business Ethics, Maxwell shows how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard (regardless of religion, culture, or circumstances). Along the way, he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common causes that get people off track ethically, and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to integrity.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in man. I thank thee that thou hast answered me and hast become my salvation

A Place for You

 

I go to prepare a place for you.

 

Know this: if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to be there with me; so that where I am, there you may be also. Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I must go away, but I will come again to you. If you truly loved me you would rejoice, because I return to the Father.

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful, yet humble that t is by Your grace and mercy alone that I walk, I do ask and pray for Your blessings indeed. That your hand would be with me and mine to keep us from evil and from causing pain. I pray that You would touch our hearts through the spirit of the Advent season awakening us to the importance to put and keep Jesus at the center of our Christmas; and that through and in Jesus take refuge in His love and passion for us by doing Your will for us first, above our desires, above all. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Isaiah 26:1-6
Psalm 118:1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27

8  It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in man.  21  I thank thee that thou hast answered me and hast become my salvation. 
Matthew 7:21, 24-27

21  "Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  24  "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;  25  and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.  26  And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;  27  and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it."
