A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“One Heart- One Soul”
Ephesians 4:2-3
2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Only by pride, comes contention, only by humility comes love; the seat of Christian unity is in heart or spirit. It does not lie in one set of thoughts or in one mode of worship, but in one heart and one soul. We must do our best to keep unity and peace. Peace is a bond that unites God’s people. The apostle here urges us to be in the bond of peace for the Joy and Glory of God and of our Christian profession.
Lord and Savior of all Your people, come to me. Fill my heart with Your love and joy. Keep my mind and heart and soul in peace and unity with You and Your people. I love You, Lord. In Your name I pray. Amen

"Breath and Hope"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
BY SANDRA RHYNES
“Breath and Hope”
Job 27:3-4
3 As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils, 4 My lips will not speak wickedness, Nor my tongue utter deceit.
Despair is such an ugly word, yet, we have all been there. All of us have at one time or another been deep in despair. Sometime so deep that we can’t find our way out, we feel like a dark PIT has engulfed us and we can’t see the top, all we can see is the bottom, because that is where we are. STOP and LISTEN…..there IS a way out!!! His name is JESUS CHRIST!!
Job found this out while he was scraping his sores with pieces of pottery. His friends left him and his wife wanted to. He was in despair and alone. Did you know how you act in the PIT is what gets you out of the PIT. You can stay down there and roll around in the miry PIT and continue to say, “Poor me” or you can go to Jesus and pray, keep reading your BIBLE and keep going to CHURCH and keep PRAISING and WORSHIPING Him and be able to get OUT!!! Oh, you can say, “Well you have never been in my shoes,” YES, I have. You don’t really want to die, you just want out of the PIT! I promise you--- if you do these things---you WILL get out of that old stinky PIT. As long as there is the BREATH of GOD is in your body---there is HOPE. PRAISE the LORD of HOST.
Lord and Savior, help me to run to You, and run from satan. I know satan wants me to stay in the pit of darkness and despair. I know satan means to kill me if he can. I speak to this darkness and despair in Your name, the mighty name of JESUS to flee from me. I stand on Your Promises to never leave me nor forsake me. Give me strength and courage. I take my HOPE in You, LORD and I accept YOUR PLAN for MY LIFE. As long as You are with me I am not alone. You are everywhere present. Amen and Amen

"What's On Your Mind?"
A BLAST FROM THE WORD
BY SANDRA RHYNES
“What’s On Your Mind?”
Psalms 42:1
As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
When I read in the Old Testament about David, the phrase comes to my mind about him being a man after God’s own heart. Did you ever wonder why, because he always prayed to the Lord. No matter what happened or how David felt---David loved God. David loved God with all his soul, mind and strength. In this same passage of scripture in verse 3, David is very distraught. He says, “My tears have been my food day and night.” Have you ever felt like that? Sure you have, so have I. Even though you are in the middle of sorrow and trouble---our souls we must “pant” after the Lord. We must make Jesus first in our lives. It takes effort to make Him first. You might say He is first, but, what is on your mind when you first get out of bed every morning. What keeps you awake when you go to bed at night? What do you hunger and thirst after? How can we expect God to answer our prayers when we do not heed His Word? Seek opportunities to know your God and Savior more and more. We must make time for Him everyday---no matter what!
Jesus, my Savior, Jesus, my Lord, I long for more of You. When I close my eyes I see a deer bending over a crystal clear brook---so thirsty—just panting and drinking the water. I see that now and my soul pants for You the same way. I love You, Lord I pray to stay in Your Word that You have provided for me. Give me understanding according to Your Word. Amen

"Win In 2010"
“Win In 2010”
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
Everybody wants to be a winner. They want to win in sports, win in life, win-win-win! No one wants to be called a looser. And everyone wants to be wise. I have heard it said that the way to know if a person is really saved is to be a fruit inspector. I will tell you what I had rather be---a fruit spreader. In Galatians it talks about the Fruit of The Spirit. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, kindness, faith, meekness and temperance. Let’s be fruit spreaders, we can spread all of these. Lets be winners. When you spread the love of Christ around-you win souls. How many souls do you want to take to heaven with you? Let’s be a tree of life and be real winners for Jesus.
Lord Jesus, I praise and worship You and You alone. Make me be a fruit spreader. By the Rapture or by the grave, we are winners either way. Make me a blessing to others and a soul winner. As Solomon prayed for wisdom, I do as well. Give me wisdom for Your Glory. Amen
