Holly Ridge Happenings

I have always thought that Noah was safe inside the Ark because he built it according to God’s specifications. I thought that perhaps it was the strength of the gopher wood and the soundness of the architecture that ensured that the waters of the food would not come into the Ark.

But today I encountered a verse that shifted this whole paradigm. Let’s read what Genesis 7:16 says. “The animals going in were male and female of every living thing as God had commanded Noah. Then God shut him in.”

Church is not something you go to, it’s a family you belong to. 

When you wake up say: Jesus, I love you.

When leaving the house, say: Jesus, come with me.

When you feel like crying, say: Jesus, hug me.

When you feel happy say: Jesus, I adore you.

When you do something, say, Jesus, help me.

When you make a mistake say, Jesus, forgive me.

When you go to sleep, say, Thank you, Jesus, and cover me with your Holy Mantle. God loves you.

When God wanted to create fish, He spoke to the sea.

When God wanted to create trees, He spoke to the earth. 

But when God wanted to create man, He turned to Himself. 

Then God said:  “Let us make man in our image and in our likeness.”  

Note: If you take a fish out of the water it will die; and when you remove a tree from soil, it will also die. Likewise, when man is disconnected from God, he dies. God is our natural environment. We were created to live in HIS presence. We have to be connected to Him because it is only in Him that life exists.

The Mastery of Self

No one is responsible for your emotional reactions except for you. Others can say and do anything they like but what happens inside you is only the result of what you are thinking and feeling. We are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts, some canoes, and some are drowning. Just be kind and help whoever you can.

Happy New Year from me to you.

Simple truths to repeat when you’re in a spiritual battle.

God’s got this the Lord fights for me. Jesus Loves me, Not today, satan, I am a child of God. He is able. It is finished. His Grace is sufficient. Joy comes in the morning. I am not alone. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Fear has no grip on me. Christ is enough for me. He has overcome the world. I am a new creation in Christ. Jesus conquered the grave. Sin doesn’t define me, Christ does. Be still and know God is good.
