From: "Dwayne Savaya" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gods Work Ministry Inspirational and Encouragement E-MailDear Friend,I hope you are doing well and are in the best of health. I am doing welland am thankful for the goodness and graciousness of our wonderful Lord. Wecan depend on God when everything else fails because He has promised thatHe would never leave us nor forsake us. No matter the trials or hardshipsthat come before us, the Lord is our faithful Father and He is our strongtower of protection and sustenance. Take comfort and know that God is stillon His throne and in His sight All Is Well. I hope this message on standingfirm in the difficult times of life encourages your heart to continue on because the Lord will never leave your side. (Hebrews 13:5) (Psalm 61:1-4)It is easy to feel like giving up when the obstacles of life seem so great,but it is in this time of trial that we must dig our heels in and stand firm knowing that things will get better sooner than later. Many times when we face difficult situations, a sense of fearful anxiety grabs a hold of our heart making us question how we will get over that problem. In thistime of spiritual warfare, we are to remember Whose we are and take hold ofthe promises that are found in the Word of God. (Ephesians 6:13-14)When I go through difficult situations that tempt my peace and my calmness,I quote many scriptures such as 2 Timothy 1:7 which declares "For God hathnot given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a soundmind." Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help introuble." 2 Samuel 22:33-34 "God is my strength and power: and He makethmy way perfect." Psalm 28:7 "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoicethand with my song will I praise Him." The promises of the Lord are Yes and Amen and nothing by any means can harm God's elect people. In the beginning He was, and is still and will continue to be for all time. The Lord is our solution because in Him is fulfilled the answer to our hearts cry. When situations come nigh unto youtrying to steal your peace and make you question your purpose or destiny,you need only to think of the greatness of God and realize that He createsnothing without a purpose and plan in mind. You are here for a specific reason and until that purpose has been fulfilled, you are not done yet.Even though there is a spiritual battle constantly going on and the enemytries his best to take our peace and calmness and replace it with his fearand worry, we are promised the Victory through Christ the Lord. We need only to stand firm in resistance knowing that our God is Mighty and at themention of His name all demons must bow. (2 Corinthians 1:20) (Philippians 2:9-11)Rejoice in God's goodness and confess with your mouth that your heart istrusting in Him. God's peace that surpasses all understanding will guardyour heart and mind through Christ Jesus our Lord. Trust Him all the daysof your life and know that weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning. (Psalm 28:6-8) (Philippians 4:7) (Psalm 30:5)Read and meditate on these scriptures:Psalm 18:1-3 "I will love Thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock,and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I willcall upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies."John 14:27 Jesus declares "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."Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: thereforechoose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."Philippians 4:4-7 "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Letyour moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful fornothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.Today's Selected Poem: THROUGH THE STORMSClick here to read --- http://www.Godswork.org/enpoem9.htmToday's Selected Testimony: THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONYClick here to read --- http://www.Godswork.org/testimony57.htmIn Christ's Service,Dwayne SavayaGods Work MinistryPlease feel free to visit the Website to read more Encouraging andInspirational stories, poems and testimonies.

JNM * daily devotional
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] daily devotional Matthew 1:21Thou shalt call his name Jesus. When a person is dear, everything connected with him becomes dear for his sake. Thus, so precious is the person of the Lord Jesus in the estimation of all true believers, that everything about Him they consider to be inestimable beyond all price. "All Thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia," said David, as if the very vestments of the Saviour were so sweetened by His person that he could not but love them. Certain it is, that there is not a spot where that hallowed foot hath trodden-there is not a word which those blessed lips have uttered-nor a thought which His loving Word has revealed-which is not to us precious beyond all price. And this is true of the names of Christ-they are all sweet in the believer's ear. Whether He be called the Husband of the Church, her Bridegroom, her Friend; whether He be styled the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world-the King, the Prophet, or the Priest-every title of our Master-Shiloh, Emmanuel, Wonderful, t he Mighty Counsellor-every name is like the honeycomb dropping with honey, and luscious are the drops that distil from it. But if there be one name sweeter than another in the believer's ear, it is the name of Jesus. Jesus! it is the name which moves the harps of heaven to melody. Jesus! the life of all our joys. If there be one name more charming, more precious than another, it is this name. It is woven into the very warp and woof of our psalmody. Many of our hymns begin with it, and scarcely any, that are good for anything, end without it. It is the sum total of all delights. It is the music with which the bells of heaven ring; a song in a word; an ocean for comprehension, although a drop for brevity; a matchless oratorio in two syllables; a gathering up of the hallelujahs of eternity in five letters. "Jesus, I love Thy charming name, 'Tis music to mine ear." Evening Devotion Matthew 1:21He shall save His people from their sins. Many persons, if they are asked what they understand by salvation, will reply, "Being saved from hell and taken to heaven." This is one result of salvation, but it is not one tithe of what is contained in that boon. It is true our Lord Jesus Christ does redeem all His people from the wrath to come; He saves them from the fearful condemnation which their sins had brought upon them; but His triumph is far more complete than this. He saves His people "from their sins." Oh! sweet deliverance from our worst foes. Where Christ works a saving work, He casts Satan from his throne, and will not let him be master any longer. No man is a true Christian if sin reigns in his mortal body. Sin will be in us-it will never be utterly expelled till the spirit enters glory; but it will never have dominion. There will be a striving for dominion-a lusting against the new law and the new spirit which God has implanted-but sin will never get the upper hand so as to be absolute mona rch of our nature. Christ will be Master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. The Lion of the tribe of Judah shall prevail, and the dragon shall be cast out. Professor! is sin subdued in you? If your life is unholy your heart is unchanged, and if your heart is unchanged you are an unsaved person. If the Saviour has not sanctified you, renewed you, given you a hatred of sin and a love of holiness, He has done nothing in you of a saving character. The grace which does not make a
