Don't Let the world or the past control your life in the present or tomorrow.
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
*I pray your trust isn’t in humans. They will let you down when our Father will not.
Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
*Don’t think on the worldly things, but on our Father & be blessed in all you do.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
*Have God in mind with all you do & it all works out in the end.
Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
*Nothing you can say to that!
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
*You can handle it all and God WILL give you a path out of troubles, just choose it wisely and know where that path came from.
2 Corinthians 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
*One mind = yoked together in the same thought and that thought is in Christ Jesus and His word. His word brings that peace of mind. Live it and be true Christians = Christ like, showing God’s love to everyone.
Philippians 4:6-7
6-Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7-And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
*Let your Father know your needs & it shall be given on His time not yours. Believe it to be & He will see to it. If you don’t show your faith, why would He do it? He want to hear from us and wants our love. Doesn’t every parent?
Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
*Faith, believe, trust in Him as He is always with you.
1 Peter 5:6-7
6-Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7-Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
*Just as every Father should, Just give your all to Him.
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
*There comes a time when you have to leave that worldly thought and focus on FACTS. Christianity is the fact. God’s word gives you the means to know how to live in this world. The Bible is the instruction manual for this life in the flesh.
John 6:32-35
32-Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33-For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34-Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35-And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
*His Word sustains us that hunger for it. Don’t rely on man to feed you. If you only get a few verses when you go to your church, it’s up to you to go and seek more to be feed when you are hungry. Too many churches are not doing their work anymore. It is an everyday walk, not a once a week pew warming. You would starve if that were the case.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
*Why would you! You have FAITH.
Proverbs 12:20
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
*Once you have that FAITH, you have peace of mind. With that comes joy. Nothing can bother you like it did anymore.
Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
*You’re a Christian, so it is time to let that be known in your heart and be at peace.
1 Chronicles 28:10
Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
*You become that house, when you accept Him into your heart.
Psalm 42:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
*Yes, WHY?, When you have The One true God behind what ever you do in life, (IF) you have faith in Him.
Psalms 103:
8-The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
11-For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
13-Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
17-But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18-To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
* ”fear”
= reverence or love. You have no reason to “fear” our Father (IF) you
follow Him and love Him.
Ephesians 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
*You have that power, it is in Christ Jesus name to do great works, use it and stand as true Christian men and women of God. Rebuke any and all evil in your life.
Deuteronomy 32:10-12
10-He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11-As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12-So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
*The LORD protected Jacob & led Him. This is set as example to us that our Father is over us, wings spread in protection of things coming against us. I might add, this is the 1st occurrence of the word “apple”.
Matthew 6:25-28
25-Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
*The flesh is going back to dirt. You better be thinking about what is next for you. Your soul is more important than this body.
26-Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
*Do you think you are less than a bird to our Father? He provides the means for the birds so you better believe He will provide the means for you first.
Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
*(IF) you
have FAITH in God our Father, and have given Him the time in your life to come
to understand His letter to you, The Bible, than you have nothing to fear. (IF)
you haven’t, it’s never too late if you have a breath in you to get started.
Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
In His service, and love to all. Todd Davis, Pastor of Open Vail Ministry
