[i][i]Zeph 3:16-17 - Fear not -- do not let your hands sink down. The Lord your God is here with you now, the strong warrior who saves you! He will rejoice over you with joy and victory. In His love He will silence all condemning and make no mention your past defeats. Instead, He will dance around you with singing.[/i][/i]

Let the YAHVAH be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. Psalm 35:27

I LOVE Zephaniah 3...it's a scripture that many have been getting in this season.

Hi Linda Marie Irish,

Is that a picture of you? you have the most beautiful smile and the verse is so wonderful, just what I needed to hear this morning. I am praying for my breakthoughs and I am dedicating the next seven days to Him who lives forever.

Isn't that a wonderful word from God...it makes me so happy every time I read it, and yes that is a picture of me..thank you for the compliment. The joy of the Lord is my strength (smile) amen !!! God Bless You

Linda, I forgot to replt to this post, sorry for that

But the day you posted it, I woke up so down and felt so beaten and defeated because of one situation. And before even fellowshiping with God I logged in to this website and read the scripture and immediatelly realised that God is speaking and that I saw the situation through my eyes not through God's eyes. I was literally ready to give up. But after reading it, I gave in to God and denied the thought of giving up. Isn't OUR GOD wonderful, He always finds ways to speak to us.

Thanks for posting the scripture.

Hi Nub,

I was feeling exactly the same, just on the verge of giving up throwing in a towel and believe me somethings are just not that easy to carry on our own until God intervenes. That verse really revived me, God speaks everyday that is so wonderful to know only if i could recognise it. thanks once again Linda

Sure, we can not rely on our own strenght. If, for instance, not this scripture/encouragement from God through Lind, I would have been struggling on my own until now. But now I just let everything go and am enjoying His love.

AMEN...AMEN...AMEN.

this scripture...in the word of God did the same thing for me. I am being tormented for doing good in Christ Jesus...I am being slandered and robbed -for blessing and caring for the unloved, but God in His goodness has been letting me know that He has myback ...oh yes. He has our back- He is the one on that white horse that comes to save us. Praise the Father of us...that He loves us so. We are favored...do not forget that for a moment. We are loved and adored we are favored and by grace we are grafted in to the Kingdom of God by faith, by Grace....We are children in the Royal family of god....ponder this . really

Thank you Linda,

some of us needed to hear that so very much, I needed to hear God telling me that He loves me. although it is quite an obvious statement to us the believers, I so wanted to be reminded of God's Love towards us- exactly what you have posted to us...

I feel spiritually very sick this morning, and this encouragement did it for me
I need some kind of peace for a change
