Work like you don't need the money. 


Love like you've never been hurt. 

Dance like nobody's watching. 

Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
Serve like you’re serving Jesus.

The winds of discouragement have been raging once again. God led me to these promises from His Word to share. They reply perfectly to the lies of the enemy. This is the God I serve:
Isaiah 54:10  Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed,     yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:17  no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. 
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," 
declares the LORD.
Psalm 31:20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them 
from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.
Psalm 32: 7-8 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

 Johnny’s Mother looked out the window and noticed him  "playing church" with their cat.  He had the cat sitting quietly and he was preaching to it. She smiled and went about her work. A while later she heard loud meowing and hissing and ran back to the open window to see Johnny baptizing the cat in a tub of water. She called out, "Johnny, stop that! The cat is afraid of water!" Johnny looked up at her and said, "He should have thought about that before he joined my church."
