Life is Stronger By Brenda Drake

The Word of God gives assurance; Jesus is stronger than any threat of death.  I believe one day I will walk through death’s door into new eternal life.  Jesus has taken away the sin that separated me from the presence of God.  Now I am a part of life; for Jesus is Life, Truth and the Way from the threat of death.

Life is Stronger

Life is stronger than death when you belong to Christ.
Life lives on when God in you delights.
Eternal life with Jesus is as walking through an open door.
Death’s threat does not cause fear anymore.
Jesus is life; He is Savior in every way.
He took our place; so we could experience His eternal embrace.
Because of resurrection-power, death’s hold is loosed and the soul released.
Because of Jesus’ sacrifice there lies ahead perfect peace.
The power of Jesus over the grave,
Is life-giving truth; from sins hold saved.
Jesus died and rose again to rescue the lost.
All who believe and come by way of the cross,
Have the same hope in their final quest;
Because of Jesus they find eternal rest.
Those who are not acquainted with the truth that sets them free,
Will not His resurrection power receive.
They will die only to live without God in their life;
A hellish existence: forever without Christ.
God so loved the world He sent His Son to die in their place,
Who-so- ever will believe, will receive His amazing grace.
They too are of God’s family a part;
Never to be separated again from the Father’s heart.

Romans 15:13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost

John 11:25-26
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Be Strong IAM is With You By Brenda Drake

In my own strength I have to admit I am a wimp; but with Jesus I am strong.  With Jesus behind me, for me and in me how could I still be described as a wimp!  As long as I remember Jesus is the One who helps me fight my battle I am able to claim I am more than a conqueror.

Be Strong, I AM is With You

Be strong, alert, and courageous, I AM is with you.
With God on your side you are able to more than this do.
Strong means to trust God is in you strong;
With His strength you will sing victory songs.
Alert means to stay focused on Christ;
Ready, willing, and able, to in His strength fight.
Courageous means you know God is for you and He lives within.
With fearless determination you know because you belong to Him.
He is with you, in you and walks ahead.
He fights your battles when you are Spirit led.
Be strong, alert, and courageous and you will see,
God is with you indeed.
The world flexes its muscles but God laughs at its display.
Soon all will know the truth in its terrible array.
Place your faith in the Word; adhere to its wisdom from above,
And you will one day be face to face with the Word; enraptured by His love.

Ephesians 6:10-11
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Eat the Scriptures By Brenda Drake

As the world hurls more and more hard, unpalatable things for us to consume, the more confused, sick and depressed we become.  Our life it seems is turned upside down and backwards; conflicting with all we have known and trusted as truth. Indeed we are discovering some things we thought were true are not.  There is one measure of truth that is true and right; the Word of God that many refer to both as Jesus and the bible.  Jesus is Truth, Life and The Way.  Jesus is the Word of God that spoke life from the cross to show the way to all who would hear. There is strength in the Word when it is ingested. In it we find sure knowledge of the sad condition of our sinful soul. It tells of the love of the Father who provided through the sacrifice of His Son our redemption, and it spells out the unimaginable love of Jesus that willingly took our sins on His back to bring us to restore our fellowship with a Holy God.  The sweet Holy Spirit makes the Word clear as He teaches, guides, and leads us to our eternal home to forever dwell in one accord with Father, Son and Spirit.

Eat the Scripture

To dine on My Word, is as I wish for you to do
Eat all the Scriptures you can put inside of you
Drink of the waters that quench the thirst you have inside
Never quench the Spirit by not eating right
As the body needs fuel to make it run
The spirit man needs the food that is prepared for him.
He cannot function properly if he does not eat.
He will be defeated and will become weak.
Some children are under-nourished because of lack of trust.
If they would just read the Word they can be and do as they must.
You have not, if you seek not, if you seek you shall find.
All needed armor in every battle of every kind.
You have the choice to be strong or weak.
The more wisdom consumed, the mightier your strength.

1 Peter 2:2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 3:18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
