Thank You from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about the importance of being thankful. Jesus lived on Earth as our example, and He was so thankful and full of praise. No matter what you have been through, there are still some things that you can be thankful about. An imp... -
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalms 32:8 NIVRecently when the Lord was ready to start something new in our life, He started closing out the old. Of course we panicked, tried giving more, praying more, fasting more, serving ...

Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. James 3:10 WEBHot, ti...
Facing The Giants

O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in Your salvation how greatly he exults! You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Psalms 21:1 ESV
I was scared when the call came because I had grown up on a farm and had no formal education in computers, but I knew the Lord wanted me to go help them. Later when I walked out of the accountant's office, I was amazed at what had just happened. I had repaired their corrupted client database with years of tax returns in a few moments, and did not have a clue as to how.
Computers were a hobby of mine. The accountant firm had gotten my number from someone and called me out of desperation. At the time, there were not many people in our area to call. Computers were still rare in those days and everything was done from a command prompt. It was before Windows and what we call the Internet.
I prayed all the way there and had it fixed in a few minutes. They thought I was a genius. This became common. Before long I was making five to seven calls a day just like that. Sometimes when I simply touched the keyboard, it would be fixed. It was simply a lot of prayer. I prayed everywhere I went. God opened the doors, and I went, praying all the way. For the next seventeen years, we worked together. We still do.
When God opens the door, step through it. Do not let your fear, education, or anything else hold you back from what He has. Goliath backed down the entire Israeli army, until one teenager stepped out and killed him. When He gives you a job to do, He will give you the ability to do it as well. God will go with you. You can face this giant.
Prayer: Father guide me this day and come with me wherever I go. Push me forward into the deeper plans that you have for my life and anoint me for the work that you give me to do, in the name of Jesus.

Thank you for the encouragement, Dion! I needed it!!! :)
As my first day as a new business owner, today’s devotional is spot on. Thank you
Aww, happy that is moving forward, Evan, may He bless the work of your hands!
May the Lord guide you into all that He has for you Evan, help you make the right decisions, provide, protect, and bless you in Jesus name.

Amen Lord
Thanks Dion, I have been asked to do a healing service at a small church here at the beach. When I was first asked, I can not tell you how excited I was. Now I have had a chance to think about it and I am thinking what if God does not show up? I know God is always here, but the thinking is very strong.
Sounds exciting indeed, Jim :)! I believe that if you show up, He will, too!
Jim, Noah could only build the ark.... God had to send the rain. When He began to push me into working on computers, some company would call with a complex problem like a corrupted income tax database and I would be ready to say "no", but I would feel Him say "Go, and I will go with you." And He did! All you can do is show up and He does the rest. Be blessed, you will do fine! :)
Amen! The Lord sees us through everything and NEVER fails! How truly Blessed and thankful I am to have such a wonderful God who has my back! I hope everyone has a Blessed day!
Amen!!
