You can take away my legs, but I will still stand for The LORD!

You can take away my arms, but I will still Lift HIM up!

You can take away my mouth, but I will still Praise HIM!

You can take away my ears, but I will still listen to HIS Voice!

You can take away my body, but I am still a part of the BODY OF CHRIST!

You can take away my nose, but I will still smell the sweet fragrance of life in CHRIST JESUS!

You can take away my feet, but I will still walk with The LORD!

You can take away my money, but I will still be rich in The LORD!

You can take away my house, but I will still have shelter in The LORD!

You can take away all that I have, but HE is my EVERYTHING, and you can’t TAKE AWAY!!!

YOU CAN’T take away my desire to serve The LORD, Love The LORD, Worship The LORD, Live for The LORD or my Salvation!

You Can Never Take Away What The LORD Has Given Me!

Amen

LORD, We Thank YOU!

     The worst thing that happened to someone yesterday could have been us.  LORD, We Thank YOU!

     We did not get a phone call in the middle of the night that someone we love, has died or was in a horrible accident – LORD, We Thank YOU!

     We are not in a hospital bed with a doctor telling us there is nothing more they can do – LORD, We Thank YOU!

     Yes, some people are dealing with the listed things above, but it is not us.  I only say that in a way to give us a different perspective on life. 

     No matter what we are dealing with in this life – there is someone who wishes they were us.  LORD, We Thank YOU! 

     If you need a reason to Thank The LORD – HE is GOD!

     “O Give thanks to The LORD, for HE is Good, for HIS Mercy endures forever.” (Psalm 107:1)

     “Let the redeemed of The LORD say so, whom HE has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” (Psalm 107:2)  LORD, We Thank YOU!

     “Oh, that men would Praise The LORD for HIS Goodness and for HIS Wonderful works to the children of men!” (Psalm 107:31)  LORD, We Thank YOU!

     “Give Thanks to The LORD, for HE is Good; HIS Love endures forever.” (1 Chronicles 16:34)  LORD, We Thank YOU!

     “Give Thanks in all circumstances, for this is GOD’s Will for you in CHRIST JESUS.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)  LORD, We Thank YOU!

Let's Get Back To Church

Penned by Pastor Bobbi Cloyd

Inspired by The HOLY SPIRIT

     Since Covid hit the scene, there has been a falling away from the churches.  Some of this is because some people were not going to church for the right reason in the first place, another reason is that The LORD used this time to sift the goats from HIS sheep, and another reason might be that some of us have become comfortable with not attending church. 

     There can be a lot of reasons that people are no longer attending church, but as CHRISTians, as True Children of THE MOST ALMIGHTY GOD – YAHWEH, we are called to assemble together.  We are all many members, but one body in CHRIST JESUS. 

     In our assembling, we gather together in The NAME of CHRIST JESUS and where two or three are gathered together – there The LORD is in the midst of them.  (Matthew 18:20)  We have an audience with The LORD when we gather together.

      In our assembling together we can encourage one another, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.” (Hebrew 10:25). 

     There is power in the assembling of The LORD’s people. 

     We see that this world is getting progressively worse, we must draw together as we can. 

     When we gather together, The LORD will speak to us. 

     When we gather together, The HOLY SPIRIT is present to lead and guide us in Worshipping our LORD in Spirit and in Truth.  Have you ever witnessed a church on fire for The LORD?  This is truly a grand experience.  “Praise The LORD, Sing unto The LORD a new song and HIS Praise in the congregation of saints.” (Psalm 149:1)

     Recently, I invited a friend to a HOLY GHOST-filled church and she said all she could do was cry.  She said she had never experienced a church where the majority of the people were praising The LORD on one accord and she could feel the presence of The HOLY SPIRIT. 

     Let us assemble in the building we call the church, the building we call The LORD’s Temple.  Let us, Praise The LORD, Praise GOD in HIS Sanctuary, Praise HIM in the firmament of HIS Power. (Psalm 150:1)  Praise HIM in Unity Together, lifting our voices to Praise our ALMIGHTY GOD.

     Brothers and sisters of The LORD, it is time for us to get back to church.  To bask in the Glory of The LORD when HE fills HIS temple – the church with HIS Glory. 

Amen
