"Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Prov. 18:21). As we come out of Resurrection Day at the end of March, let's focus on breathing life into ourselves and those around us with positive affirmations! Speaking encouraging scriptures and declarations are a great way to have positive impact on our spiritual, mental, and even physical health! Let's post a positive scripture or encouraging declaration each day here!

I've been very lost for the last few months. . .medical problems both physical and mental, spiritual rut because I can't seem to accept that He loves me no matter what, also because my past failures have been brought up by various people and the pain is so strong still.

Prayer Devotional for the Day
Dear Heavenly Father, we want to pray as David did, for deliverance from the great transgression of pride. Lord, show us any sin in our lives that we are blinded to seeing, so that we may repent. Set us free from those things that would keep us from becoming like You. Lord, I desire to have an humble heart before You and before others. Help me not to be condescending to others, but to prefer others and esteem them. May we all give honor to whom honor is due, and especially may we not only honor You, but also bring honor to You. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Praise God! Just like with how cutting edge network's were in the 90's, the Lord has blessed you, and trusted you with a network of His children way ahead of others. What an amazing blessing! Thank you Jesus.

May the Lord protect each and every member of our Refreshing Hope Ministry's Family in harms way, may He place a hedge and shield round about each and everyone, may He comfort and restore, meet every need, send out ministering angels to each and everyone regardless where ever! May we all be united in joint prayers for one another, for there is only one name under the heavens in whose name we ask and pray, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen (h5)

Touch Him
In Mark 5, there was a lady who had a bleeding disorder for twelve years. She had gone to many doctors and spent all her money trying to get well, but she only got worse. One day she heard that Jesus was passing through her town. She had heard stories of His healing the crippled and the blind, and something came alive on the inside. She thought, "He can do it for me, too." She said to herself, "If I can get to Jesus and just touch the fringe of His robe, I know I'll be healed."
But there was a huge crowd packed in around Jesus. It looked impossible. Most people would have given up, but not her. She started pushing her way through the crowd. "Excuse me, but I need to get by! I don't mean to be rude, but move out of my way!" People looked at her like, "What's her problem?" She was on a mission. She had a made-up mind. I'm sure she was weak and exhausted from the blood loss, but she fought her way through the crowd. One version says, "She kept saying to herself, 'If I only touch His clothes, I will be well.'" She could keep going because she kept the right thoughts playing in her mind.
When she reached out and touched the edge of Jesus' robe, He stopped and asked His disciples, "Who just touched me?" They said, "What do You mean? It's so crowded that everyone is touching You." Jesus said in effect, "No, they're bumping into me, but somebody touched Me. Somebody drew the miracle-working power out of Me. They touched Me expecting things to change." At that time Jesus looked at this woman and their eyes met. He smiled and said, "Your faith has made you whole. Go in peace. You have been healed" (Mark 5:34). Notice the key was her faith. When you believe, when you live with expectancy, your faith can stop the Creator of the universe. That's what activates His power.
In many of the healings that Jesus performed, He laid His hands on people. But in this case, the woman laid her hands on Jesus. Are you waiting for God to lay hands on you, so to speak? Are you living with expectancy, knowing that He's bigger than your problems, greater than that sickness, more powerful than that addiction? Or are you discouraged, thinking it will never change? God is passing by. He has all power. Don't just brush up against Him. Don't be passive and think you'll never accomplish your dreams, never start your business, never meet the right person. Your faith can activate God's power to do amazing things. Do like this woman—touch Him and believe it will happen!

Hello guys! I regret I missed te last few Saturdays. This is to catch up and cover this Saturday!! I have been sorts busy this last few days. I was working on fine turning my new resume to help with my obtain a job that fits me. I altered my thinking and won’t just take the first offer and get something that won’t fit me just for the money. My knee has been hurting for the past year or 6 months. Seems like forever but that just is because Im hurting and it won’t go away! I don’t have it scheduled but saw my surgeon today. We all decide that an arthroscopic surgery would be the best thing right now. Not much else has happened so, so signing of for now. God bless to all!
Love, hugs and kisses ~~~

It isn't that being a healthy weight isn't important, but like anything, if it isn't done in balance, it can become very unhealthy. It always makes me sad to see a lot of the child actors who grow up with eating disorders because weight loss apparently became so much of a priority that it took over their life. We serve a God who wants many beautiful things for us!

What Love!!! This gives us the power to rise from self pity, and walk free from the guilt and shame of our past or failures. " He who knew no sin, became sin for us" Hallelujah- no longer are we in bondage to sin- but can walk in the newness of life, through the power of Gods Grace. "Thank you, Jesus"
