-Joy Notes- “Fills Your Mind”

February 23, 2016 / Joy Lyons / Leave a comment

Bible meditation fills the mind with God through concentration on his Word.

Psalm 1 begins with a promise of blessing for anyone who meditates on the Scriptures. In Jesus, the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us.

All true worship focuses on the exalted Lord Jesus, whom God the Father raised from the dead and placed upon heaven’s throne.

~Joy Notes~ “Faith Adventure – Worship”

February 23, 2016 / Joy Lyons / Leave a comment

Worshiping God in spirit and truth
allows us to see him and what he is
doing.

When we make adjustments to be a part of his plan, he takes
care of our life’s itinerary and accommodations.

His plan for us, however, might not be the easiest
because it’s full of challenges and adventures.

Life with God is never boring when we trade the certainty of our small life for the uncertainty of a faith-adventure.

Worship allows us to walk in communion with a loving God who knows how to take us beyond our frailties and fears.

The wonder of worship is that it “enables us to emerge from the straight jacket of our oversensitive preoccupation with our ‘feelings,’ We rise into the presence of God through a contemplation of Him in His goodness, beauty, and truth, and especially His redeeming acts.

THE JOY OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS ♥
Psalm 23:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
IN JESUS NAME, EXPECT the best by faith!
Expect blessings! Expect healing! Expect the Lord’s love! Expect His help the one Who made heaven and earth! Expect wisdom and understanding from His Word! Expect the Presence of the Holy Spirit and power with all His gifts and sweet fruit of love, joy, and peace! Expect the answer to your prayers! Expect His perfect will for you, His good plans for your life! Expect the King of Kings to look upon you as His very own prince or princess, son or daughter! You are a child of the King! Expect abundant life and grace for every occasion! Expect the LORD’S goodness in the land where you live your life with Him!
Say to Him, ” My soul waits silently for You alone My God, for all my expectations, my strong hope is from You! You only are my rock and my salvation, my glory, the rock of my strength, my refuge, my fortress, my deliverer,You are the One who lifts my head! Amen! ”
(Ps 62, Ps 18, Ps 3:3).

~Joy Notes~ “Blessings in Disguise”

February 13, 2016 / Joy Lyons / 6 Comments

*** For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. *** (2 Corinthians 4:15)-(KJV)-
———————————————————-
I have tons of things to be thankful to God and it goes endlessly because every single seconds that passed there were always blessings. I can’t even think of something that I can’t be thankful to God knowing that they are what we call “blessings in disguise”. It means they may be unpleasant at the moment but the end of it brings wonderful things for or in us.
———————————————————-
As I sat down right here typing these words, I can’t help but feel in awe on how great our God is that He richly blessed us even if we don’t feel we deserved it. Thanks to the GRACE of God.”
———————————————————-
*** All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. *** (2 Corinthians 4:15) -(NIV)-

-Joy Notes- †”Strongest of All Living Things”†

February 13, 2016 / Joy Lyons / Leave a comment

Trees have to be the strongest of all living things. Even close to death they are able to stand. At the very most top of a tree is one leaf and one branch lifting, forever straining, reaching to towards Heaven. It is the source of their strength and the root of their power to withstand every fall. †Only one Side to this Coin,”In God We Trust”† __________________

YOU ARE CHRIST’S OUTREACH! HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET!

~♥~ Lord Jesus Christ, Loving Saviour, when I touch You with humility and love, I can touch others with Your love and be Your hands and feet. I am a living human being that is Your outreach. May my words and my deeds give you Honor and Glory as they let others feel Your touch. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen.

Heb 6:10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

~Joy Notes~ “Hold on to JESUS”

February 2, 2016 / Joy Lyons / 2 Comments

When we hold on to JESUS it makes your load easier to bear, He’s your place of strong hold, your strength. He’ll carry you through. No one will help you the way He will! We need to develop a habit of running to Jesus instead of people when we have trouble. We should seek Him rather than consulting our own wisdom or asking others opinions! Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.

~Joy Notes~ “Allowing God to Lead”

February 1, 2016 / Joy Lyons / Leave a comment

I have come to the point that I just want to take what I can from the Bible as God reveals it to me and just be the best servant to Him as I can. I am blessed coming in and shall be blessed going out. Allowing God to lead me in ALL things .. no matter how small or how large they may be GOD is Always In Control.

The sooner we realize that … The better off we ALL Shall BE!

I am and you are Wonderfully Made, Even if someone has wronged you or me and it looks like they have the upper hand, even if it looks like things are never going to change, we need to keep reminding ourselves, We have an advantage. God is in control of our destiny. He’s fighting our battles for us.

He is our vindicator, and it’s just a matter of time before things change in our favor.

-Joy Notes- “Faith Grows” Part1

January 30, 2016 / Joy Lyons / Leave a comment

Faith that is in you starts small, but it grows over time.

As you walk with the Lord, talk with the Lord, and rely on the Lord and His provision, that little seed within you will grow and become unshakable. Faith grows with time – Stay encouraged – Let it grow.

Luke 17:6 \o/ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

————————————————————————————————————————

Faith grows with time – It takes root – Stay encouraged – Let it grow.

Be with me this day, Father God, and provide the things that I need to grow. Strengthen my faith and guide my steps with Your Holy Spirit, in is the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Luke 17:5-7 Contemporary English Version (CEV) The apostles said to the Lord, “Make our faith stronger!” Jesus replied:If you had faith no bigger than a tiny mustard seed, you could tell this mulberry tree to pull itself up, roots and all, and to plant itself in the ocean. And it would!

~Joy Notes~ “REFLECTIONS ON FORGIVENESS”

January 30, 2016 / Joy Lyons / Leave a comment

LET’S FORGET THE PAST IT IS NOW A CLOSED BOOK ..WE CAN NOT BRING BACK A SINGLE DAY OF IT! LET’S STRECH FORWARD AND REACH TOWARD TO WHAT IS AHEAD AND IN STORE FOR US . LETS DRAW FROM THE LESSONS WE HAVE LEARNED FROM IT AND ALWAYS PUT OUR BEST FORWARD … MISTAKES HAPPENS AND GOD FORGIVES US BUT HOW HARD IS IT FOR US TO FORGIVE AND MOVE ON?

NO MATTER WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED OR BEEN SAID IN THE PAST … TOTAL FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE WE ALL MUST MAKE. IF OTHERS DO NOT FORGIVE REMEMBER THEIR FORGIVENESS IS NOT YOUR CHOICE … ONLY YOUR FORGIVENESS OF THEM IS UP TO YOU … ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!

TO ANYONE THAT MAY HAVE HARMED ME, HURT ME OR GOSSIPED ABOUT ME … I CHOOSE TO FORGIVE YOU. I HAVE SENT MESSAGES TO YOU ALL … IT IS ALL IN GODS HANDS NOW … HOW WILL YOU REACT?

TO ANYONE I MAY HAVE HURT OR HARMED BY WORD OR DEED I HUMBLY SEEK YOUR FORGIVENESS … IF YOU GIVE IT THAT IS WONDERFUL IF YOU DO NOT I WILL SURVIVE FOR I HAVE DONE AS GOD HAS LEAD ME TO DO IN THIS MATTER … I HAVE FORGIVEN ALL AND HAVE ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
GOD HAS FORGIVEN ME…WILL YOU?

NOW AND FOREVER A CHILD OF GOD,

AS ALWAYS IN HIM …(momma)… Joy
