Dear all,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil 1:2
Word: Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Phil 2: 5
But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10: 42
Thought: In the Spiritual warfare we need to remember that we are in the ultimate winning side – Christ Jesus is the Victor.

Dear all,
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. II Cor 1: 2
Word:
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalms 46: 1 – 3
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15: 1 – 4.
Thought: How can I receive strength and confidence?
LORD Jesus is our eternal refuge and gives strength and confidence in all circumstances.
Have a Victorious walk in Christ

Dear all,
Grace and peace be to you in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Word of God:
“Faith can move the mountains of obstacles”
Fight the good fight of faith… (I Tim 6:12)
This is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith (I John 5:4)
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Heb 4: 12 -13
Thought:
The word of God is living, life-changing and dynamic as it works in us. The demands of God’s word require decisions … a strong and firm decision in Christ. We must also let it shape our lives.
Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known!
Hold the Gospel banner high! On to vict’ry grand!
Satan and his host defy, And shout for Daniel’s Band!
(Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876)
Dear all,
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word of God:
Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalms 43: 3
Keep your conscience clear. 1 Peter 3: 16
You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing. Psalms 65: 11-13
A couple of thoughts:
Have a Victorious walk in Christ
The Journey Team
Dear all,
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace and bless you as a channel of blessings.
Acts 14: 17 says “He sends rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts”.
Let us receive His blessings and share the blessings with many nations.
Thought:
True happiness is in Christ Jesus and it is not based on the things that we have. We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose our attitude toward each situation. The secret to a joyful heart is filling our minds with thoughts that dwell on the things that are true and pure (Philip 4: 8). This was Paul’s secret as he faced imprisonment because of the Gospel of Christ Jesus and it can be ours as we face struggles in our daily life. Check your attitude. Examine, in the presence of God what we allow to enter our mind and what we choose to dwell on. We may need to make some positive changes. Seek to do what is right and walk humbly with the LORD Jesus Christ in this faith journey (Zephaniah 2: 3).
Let us be the Church (Romans 12:3-5) and be tentmakers like Aquila and Pricilla’s family (Acts 18:1-4; 18-20; 24-26).

Dear all,
May God bless you and keep you in His presence and His peace during this Christmas season and years to come.
Word:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us, a Son is given”. (Isaiah 9)
Thought:
God sent us the light of the world LORD Jesus Christ to show His light to those who are in darkness.
God sent us the Savior to seek and save those who are lost.
Pass it On! Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads us!
Be strong and glad!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed new-year 2020.

Dear all,
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word: Mark 2: 1 – 12
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+2%3A1-12&version=NIV
Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Verses 3 – 5.
Thought:
Jesus came not only to heal physical problems but also to solve the sin problem. If we have not yet come to know Jesus, we are paralyzed in spirit, as powerless to help ourselves as was this paralyzed man. If our faith is still too weak to carry us to the point of healing, the faith of “four friends” may be enough to get us there. Adapted from Every Man’s Bible, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Dear all,
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14.
Word: The Vine and the Branches
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A1-12&version=NIV
15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. John 15:1-12
Thought:
The spiritual root system is the fundamental foundation of our growth in Christ Jesus. Remember to rely on Him for everything. His promises are kept for you and will come true in His time. May God give us the patience to plan according to His master blueprint and wait and receive His blessings. The key idea is to trust and obey to accomplish His vision in our life.

Dear all,
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. II Peter 1: 2
Word:
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Romans 8: 11
Thought:
The Holy Spirit is God’s promise of eternal life for those who believe in Him. The Spirit is in us now by faith, and by faith, we are certain to live with Christ forever. He is the power source behind the spiritual rebirth of every Christian and He gives the power to live a victorious Christian life in this world.
How did Christ’s resurrection influence your spiritual walk?
We can trust God with anything because the resurrection changes everything.

Dear all,
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love. II John: 3
Word: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. John 10: 11 and 14
Thought: The voice of the good shepherd tells us that we are not defined by what we did, but what He did for us on the cross.
Jesus gives us life. The life he gives right now is abundantly rich and full. It is eternal, yet it begins immediately. Life in Christ is lived on a higher plane because of His overflowing forgiveness, love, and guidance. Have you taken Christ’s offer of life?
Pass it on! Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads us!
