  • The Day of Small Things from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. As with many of my messages, this was a word for me, but I will share it with you as I found it encouraging. I have been building a new social media website for Refreshing Hope behind the scenes for months. It is a massive undertak...
  • Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send ou...

    Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea...

Going Down For The Last Time

  • My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10:27 ESV

    The star of the show that we were watching took some really bad knocks and it looked like he was going down for the last time. Somehow he found some inner strength and soon pulled himself together, got back up and gave the bad guy what was coming to him. The hero always gets back up after a knock down.

    Life can be full of setbacks, disappointments and failures but the God we serve is stronger than all and no one is able to snatch us from Him. God is stronger than any addiction, demon, person, task or circumstance that you face today.

    The only thing that truly matters is your relationship with Him. When you are in His hand nothing is going to touch you without Him allowing it for some purpose. I am not saying that you will never be sick or in need. I am saying that you will never be alone, and you will never be lost because our God is able to sustain you.

    He is able to make all things work out for your good. Even the things that were meant to harm you will instead promote you. You will not go down for the last time because God will always give you the strength to get back up.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that you give me the grace to always get up when I fall. Help me see things the way that You do and draw my heart to You, in the name of Jesus.

    Note: Good morning! We will be continuing to the next chapter of our online Bible Study tomorrow morning, but for those who would like to catch up, here is the link to all of the chapters. You are welcome to start any time :)! Bible Study

Pastor you are on a roll. GOD is so Good. That when things start to happen that you are not ready for. He draws you closer to him. I had to learn not to pull back. But to be still in his presence. He places divine intervention in my path. Such as Refreshing Hope. When I come here. I know that GOD is Real, he is Able, and it will be alright. Thank you Refreshing Hope

Amen. Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking through Pastor Dion this message. I needed to be reminded and encouraged that God is in control,He has the power and ONLY say in what He allows to take place in our lives. If we make bad decisions it's on us but, God can even turn those around to educate us and hopefully,prayerfully not make the same mistakes multiple times. To pass the test,to learn and move on the first time is what I desire oh Lord my God,in Jesus name Amen.

Pastor Dion, you said "Even the things that were meant to harm you ..."  - Looking at Joseph in the OT, things that meant to harm him such as his jealous brothers ... but the Lord God meant it for good, he became a lowly servant, almost a picture of our Lord Jesus, in Egypt, serving others for a very long time, but then he became 2nd in command, fulfilling God's plan - because God meant it for good!!!

So often, when I look back at my life, and it hasn't been a bed of roses, like it is for so many of us, but it always was the mighty hand of God that added the finishing touch due to his goodness and mercy, praise His holy name!!!
