I Refuse to Be Discouraged
I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
And here's the reason why . . .
I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who love me,
And I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful,
Jesus is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening,
Beginning to end.
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.
I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
As through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on his face;
The battle's His, the victory is mine;
He'll help me win the race.

FORGIVENESS ANNIE, OIC
FORGIVENESS
ANNIE,OIC
In him we have redemption through his shed blood also the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace.
It is vitaly important that we forgive. Ourselves and others, It is important to God and to ourselves as it affects our health and our emotions as well as our attitude. The scripture says that in Jesus we have redemption, this means if we have it we must give it. Many of us in the body of Christ today have a hard time forgiving. We find it difficult to let go of past hurts and wrongs. What if God treated us the way we treat each other. We would be in danger wouldnt we. We chose from day to day what we are willing to forgive and what we want to hold on to. But, Gods' word tells us to forgive, he dosent give us an option on this. If God tells us something it is considered a commandment. I am not talking about the 10 commandments. No one could keep them, that is why Jesus came and died for us. I am talking about things Gods' word tells us we must do in the new testiment. Jesus told us in the new testiment that we are to love God with all our hearts minds soul and strength and love each other as ourselves. He also said if we did not forgive others the father would not forgive us, in fact he went as far to say our prayers would not even be heard. What if Jesus kept a list of wrongs on us based on how bad we hurt or grieved him. Does the thought of doing anything that would hurt the one who died in your place grieve you? It should. However, we do it every day. Every day that we chose to hold on to unforgiveness and bitterness and we keep record of wrongs we are hurting the one who gave his life for us. How, because he told us to love and forgive.I am so thankful that our God is so awsome that when we ask for forgiveness he forgives and remembers it no more. How I wish we could be more like him. Can we? I want to forgive and remember it no more. Today chose to forgive everyone who has wronged you. Wipe the board clean of all hurts and transgressions done to you. Say yes, I chose to forgive and give it to God. Lord heal me of all my hurts, take it from me I want to remember it no more. Even if you dont tell that person themselves, tell God. He knows anyway.
Through the shed blood of Jesus Christour sins are forgiven according to his riches and grace we have access to the power of his shed blood today to say I am chosing to forgive all hurts and wrongs done to me today in Jesus name, bless them and keep them through your grace and mercy in Jesus name. amen.
Lord Jesus, you give us all the grace we will need to forgive those that have hurt and wronged us and in your name we will for we love you and want to glorify you.
Amen. Be blessed and healed in Jesus name today.

I AM PERSUADED! Annie, OIC
I AM PERSUADED
by Annie, OIC
Romans 8:39
"For I am persuaded that neither life nor death, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things yet to come, nor heigth, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to seperate us from the love of God."
Are you persuaded? Have you come to the saving knowledge of this scripture? Are you still struggling in your faith? Are you still swayed by people, or circumstances? Are you persuaded that God loves you based on your goodness? Fill up on the meat that is in this verse. Say to yourself and your foes "Iam persuaded". No matter if I live or die today nothing can seperate me from the love of God. No angel or demon or their powers can seperate me from the love of God. Nothing that is present in my life today nor anything that is coming shall seperate me from the love of God. Neither the heigth nor depth of the circumstances in my life today will seperate me from the love of God. No other creature on earth nor under the earth can seperate me from the love of God. Say to your enemies or those against you today, " no matter what you may say, think, or feel about me today or ever will ever seperate me from the love of God!! God loves me, Jesus died for me, no matter what you, your friends, or your family think of me or whether you like it or agree with it or not, nothing can seperate me from the love of God!!! Nor will it ever be able to ever!! So say, think, and feel what you like about me, I am persuaded that nothing can seperate me from the love and acceptance of God!!!
I thank you Jesus that you love me and that nothing can seperate me from your love. In Jesus name. amen.

"Whatever You're Facing" Annie, OIC
"Whatever You're Facing"
Annie, OIC
Luke 22: 61-62 ( notes taken from The Confident Woman Devotional)
The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him saying, "before the cock crows thrice this day you will deny me." Then Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Bitterly means with painful greif. Jesus told Peter that he would deny him. Peter denied that he would. When Peter was recoginized as a follower of Jesus he became fearful. He did not know how to respond as seeing his Lord in chains was more than he could bear. Even though the Lord warned him he did not listen. We are not so different today, we think we are. We judge the first church but are we any stronger or more confident in our trials I think not. They sold all they had and distributed it among each other. They lived together and prayed together. Do we. I think we could learn of them more than we have. Are we as the body of Christ listening to him today? Or are we like Peter and say, not me Lord, I would never. I think we should be very careful in the day and hour we are living in. We need to humble ourselves and say,"speak Lord, for thy servent is listening."When we see trails and tribulations all around us we too become fearful. Remember that God is not a man that he should lie. So listen today if he is warning you about something, say Lord what should I do about this?
Lord Jesus, In reading about Peters' denial I know I am not so different from him. I humble myself before you today and ask for wisdom and discernment, strength in times of fear. Help me to be still and listen to your still small voice. Help me not to be presumptuious and fearful of your Holy Spirit. Give me strength and courage, boldness to face whatevers coming in this day and hour we are living in. In Jesus name I pray amen.

CONSECRATION Annie, OIC
CONSECRATION
Annie, OIC
Mt 6:30
"If God so clothed the grass of the field...shall he not much more clothe you?...
We should never let the cares of this world come in and make us forget that all things come from God's hand not ours. There are days when we as God's children get upset with each other and get jealous of each others blessings. We will do well to not forget that just as God clothed the grass he will also clothe us.
Instead today we should concentrate on doing God's work. If we will be about the father's business, he will be about our business. Consecration means continually setting yourself apart to one particular thing. Ask yourself today, "am I continually separating myself from the cares of the world and considering God's work?" If not do so, and in return be clothed in the love of Christ.
Prayer:
Psalm 9
I praise thee o Lord, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name. for I have fallen in love with you my king. I will be glad and rejoice in you alone. For you are God of the most high who cares for the anguish of my soul. Amen.
My Daily Prayer
Lord, I come to you to worship you for you are great and greatly to be praised. I open my heart to you,teach me from your word. In Jesus' name. amen

Love Is Priority Annie, OIC
Love Is Priority
Annie, OIC
The greatest of these is love…
When you are called to love as Christ loved you risk rejection.
One of the most important fruits of the Spirit is love..
Loving is exposing yourself to hurt and rejection. We as Christians must accept in advance before we do any ministry works that there will be rejection. There is Healing in Christ for rejection, for although people reject us God does not. He binds us up and heals our broken heart. We are to receive our healing for the hurt and pain caused from years of rejection.
John 1:11 says, “ He came unto his own an his own received him not.”
When we are hurt and rejected by others we must understand that we are then fellowshipping in Christ’s sufferings. For all the years I spent being rejected and hurt I did not understand that it was God’s permissive will for me to go through those years to birth his anointing in me. I had no idea it was for my good and that I was partaking in His sufferings. Now that I know that I can cherish it knowing it was all for His Glory .Then I knew it was not in vain, that in return gives me my beauty for my ashes. He has purged me in fire and sat me on a rock. I am highly blessed and favored of the Lord.
Mark 8:31: He than began to teach them the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, that he must be killed and raised to life on the 3rd day.
Know this beloved of the Lord, there is life after rejection, even if it is rejection of someone you loved greatly. Know that they did not reject you; but the Christ in you. God takes that very seriously.
Proverbs 30:22-23
An unloved woman who is married makes the earth tremble.
Did you know that verse was in there? I didn’t’. Think about it. An unloved woman who is married. That was me for many years. I felt unloved, rejected, and felt like nothing I did was good enough. But, it was not in vain. God has promised me 100 fold for my hurts. I believe Him. He is not a man that he should lie and know that whatever your going through he will use as well.
Psalms 27:10
“The Lord receives me.”
Thankyou Jesus that every time I have tried to give my love away in your name it was not lost. You never let it fall to the ground. Your word says love never fails. Even though I have thought I was a failure every time, you were there to catch it and you will give it all back to me. You Lord receive me. I love you. Amen.
