Laughter

Laughter
"Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving:let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!" -Psalm 95:2

It is wonderful how the memory of a funny story or a particular incident can bring joy to my heart and laughter to my lips years later.Laughter has power to turn a seemingly sad day into a happy one. It is good for me and also for those with whom I share my laughter.
When I laugh, I feel the positive effects throughout my body. As I relax, any tension I may have felt dissipates. I am positive & upbeat. Sharing as much joy as I can each day through laughter and smiles allows me to be an ambassador of goodwill. What a privilege it is to share the gladness of my soul with others!

Affirm This: Through laughter, I share the gladness of my soul.

Light at the end of the tunnel(angel message)

Three days ago as I was going for my early morning walk I was coming around the bend & I saw the brightest light I had ever seen, it scared me so I looked away, but I couldn't help but look back & as I did I saw a long, long, long tunnel & out of this tunnel came a bright ray of white light & the spirit began to speak" You must tell them that no matter what it is I am there, no matter how they feel I am there, no matter what they are going through I am there. I am the source so no matter how big it may be I am bigger, no matter how bad it may seem I am the solution,bring it to me, leave it with me my hands, they are the most capable hands that it can be it, I am , I am, I am the way the truth, the light, there is light at the end of the tunnel & it is I, I AM".

I was not impressed to write that message when I received it , but as I arose this morning the angels told me today was the day, so blessings from my angels to you!

Our sucess in God

Matthew 26:33 "Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended."MATTHEW 26:33Just like Peter, we are often more confident of ourselves than God is. Many Christians are devastated when they fail in some area that they thought they had long since grown past. We need to realize that as long as we are in this mortal body, we cannot fall asleep at our battle station against the works of the flesh. If we do, our flesh is just as capable of sin as anyone else's. If we fall, it should concern us but not surprise us. We should simply realize with Paul, that "in my flesh dwelleth no good thing," get back into the spirit through confession and forgiveness, and go on with Jesus.The Lord has never had anyone who was qualified working for Him. Peter wasn't qualified, and even at our best, neither are we. If we realize that we are nothing and have nothing, then we are prime candidates to be used by God.Peter went on to become probably the best known of the twelve apostles. The Lord used him mightily. But He didn't want him, or us, to forget that it was Christ in Peter and not Peter himself who was great.This also illustrates the extent of our Father's love and forgiveness. If God not only forgave Peter for his sin, but also reinstated and advanced him, then surely we have not pushed God's grace beyond its limit. Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more.God doesn't see us as a failure - just a learner. God can redeem the worst "failure" and work it together for good (Rom 8:28). We need to think like God.

Let Go, Let God

Let Go, Let God
"Trust in the Lord, and do good...... And he will give you the desires of your heart" -Psalm 37 3-4

I have learned not to give up when a door closes in my life because I know that God is opening a window to new opportunities.
So if I come to what seems like the end of a relationship or a way of life, I trust God and let go of all anxiety about such a change. Then I let God open the way to the new blessings that are in store for me.
As I let go, God shows me the way God gives me strength and courage to take the first step in a new direction or to go back one step, if that is necessary. As I let go to let God, I release fears and concerns about the future. God is guiding me to the place where I will find the greatest peace and fulfillment.

Affirm This:
As I let go and let God, I experience true peace and fulfillment.

Have a wonderfully blessed & productive day!

Affrimative Prayer

Jesus, our greatest teacher, guided us in the use of affirmative prayer when he said, "So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mk. 11:24). While situations may not always work out the way we would like, we can know with assurance that God's will is actively at work in our lives.
To affirm is to state positively ; to pray is to speak to God . When we are using affirmative prayer, we are using positive statements of Truth and thanksgiving to speak to God.
. For example, affirmation reads: The ever-present life of God heals my body and renews my soul. To personalize it for our prayers, we can say, "Dear God, thank You for healing my body and renewing my soul."
To help your thoughts create your own positive awareness, try using some of these affirmations:
Thank You, God, that Your will is being done.
I am wise with the wisdom of Your Spirit, God. I am joyous, loving, and caring-just as You created me to be.
I release my concerns into your care and keeping, dear God, knowing that You have my highest good in mind.
My life is filled with joy and happiness.
By using a positive approach in our prayers, we can visualize and plan for the future with faith that the power of God is continually blessing our lives with unlimited possibilities. Affirmative prayer leads to an awakening of our spiritual selves. In faith, we pray giving thanks in advance that God is meeting our needs in ways that are best for us. In love, God responds to those prayers, even before we have spoken them, by providing us with the divine ideas necessary to guide us to all that we need to live life fully. . . joyfully… peacefully.
Affirmative Prayer AffirmationThe transforming power of God within enables me to release all fears and concerns and claim my inheritance as a child of God.

Loving Presence

Loving Presence
" My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Exodus 33v14

I may not know what the future holds for me, yet I do know that good waits for me in the unknown: God is there. Wherever I go, God's spirit is within me and goes before me.
Becoming quiet, I allow myself to get in touch with the loving presence of God with every fiber of my being. Knowing that God will never forsake me, I am relieved of fear and worry
God is powerful enough to have created the sun, the moon and the stars and yo have sent mighty rivers surging across the ground to forge immense canyons. Yet God is gentle enough to have created the delicate petals of a fragile flower. God created me, and being a part of God's majesty greatly blesses me. God is so Good!

Affirm this: As I quiet my thoughts, I experience the loving presence of God

Today(angel message)

Greeting,
I want you to think about something very simple today, you know how when you were a small child & something would go wrong in your life you would yell to the top of your lungs for help and Mom or Dad would come running at top speed? They would come to you aid no matter what they were doing, they would stop & be right by your side. Well the Angels wanted me to tell you that is how it is also when you call on your Source, that no matter what is going on at that moment your Divine help is there to assist you in all that you need, you have but to ask, there is no need to go down any path alone, but you must understand that you have to ask for the help of your Source & your Angels. Otherwise they just sit there bored waiting on you, yes you ,waiting, waiting, waiting for you to tell them what to do! Activate your help this day.

Prosperity

We all want to more prosperous not just in things but in health, spirit & love here are a few things I would like to share with you today!
Make a commitment to get yourself and keep yourself in the positive stream of life.
Refuse to indulge in casual conversation about the bad economy, the high cost of living, or about anything you really do not want to say “yes” to.
Eliminate such thoughts as “I can’t,” “I’m afraid,” and “There is not enough” from your consciousness.
Talk only about the things you want to see live and grow.
Keep your thoughts centered in the ideas of abundance, sufficiency, and well-being.
Occasionally give yourself a consciousness booster by affirming something like: God is my instant, constant, and abundant source of supply.
Remember, you are one with God­—the source of all that you will ever need.
Affirmation: God is my source, my all-sufficient supply. I have all I need to nourish, sustain, and prosper me today and every day.
