May the GOD of HOPE Fill You

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on July 8, 2021
May the GOD of HOPE fill you with all JOY and PEACE as you TRUST in Him, so you may OVERFLOW with HOPE by the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Rom. 15:13
In a world filled with turmoil, corruption, crime, illnesses and disease to name but a few dark attributes of a fallen world, all of life seems hopeless to many people stumbling around in darkness with no light to see.
It is only when we reach toward the Light of the World, our precious Lord Jesus Christ, and trust in His omnipotent power to save, deliver and heal that we are filled with all joy and peace even in the midst of trials and temptations. It is only in keeping our eyes on the Most High GOD while the storms of life rage around us, that we are able to overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is by His power that we are delivered, saved, healed and able to overcome all the wiles of the evil one and his minions.
Peter walked on water till he turned his eyes from Jesus and considered the storm. It was already storming when he stepped out of the boat, but as long as he kept his eyes above the circumstances and focused on our Saviour nothing could stand in his way.
We are not to consider the storms that come our way, but to rather consider the One who stilled the storm. The very storms that were sent to break us, lose their power and end up making us stronger each time we face one of them.
The Word never said that we would not have trials and temptations on the road of life, but it did say that He would not leave us nor forsake us. In His power we are more than conquerors.
Stay blessed in Christ

 

There’s None can Snatch Me from GOD’S Hand

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on July 6, 2021

 

There’s none can snatch me from GOD’S hand
Though my demise the enemy planned
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed
The devil’s wiles I will not heed

 Through fire and water I have come
The devil’s plans failed one by one
In the midst of the valley of the shadow of death
GOD laid me a table and gave me rest

 Greater the One who lives in my heart
Than all the armies that hell could impart
If GOD be for me then whom shall I fear
Though the world turns against me, His love draws me near

 With His Word as my sword and faith as my shield
Where He leads I will follow for my life I yield
To my Saviour, Deliverer, Father and King
For He is my first love, He’s my everything

Thank-you, Father GOD, that You spread Your protection over me and surround me with Your favour as with a shield. Thank-you that whatever trial I might face today, I will not face it alone, for Your presence is always with me.
You are my ever present help in times of trouble.

You never leave me, nor forsake me.
You know my going out and my coming in.
There is nothing hidden from Your sight.
I love You, Father.
All glory, honour and praise Belongs to You alone. Amen

Your Name, LORD GOD Endures forever

Your Name, LORD GOD Endures forever
Your fame throughout all generations
You cause Your face to shine upon
Your children throughout all the nations
The entrance of Your Word gives light
And understanding to Your own
By Your Word You guide our steps
And lead each of Your children home

I Confronted the Enemy of my Soul

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on June 30, 2021

I confronted the enemy of my soul
And I took back all that he stole
In every area of my life
He’s tried to cause mayhem and strife

 The enemy’s underneath my feet
I laugh in derision at his defeat
He came to steal, kill and destroy
But all he’s managed is to annoy

 He sees me as a human being
But I’m a daughter of the King
Eternal spirit clothed in skin
And I have victory over him

 For Jesus Christ has made me whole
To be like Him is my life’s goal
I walk within His power and might
And daily I am His delight

 

Love is the Father

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on June 28, 2021

Love is the Father creating the Earth
Creating the Universe
Love is the Father creating man
Love is God’s perfect plan

Love is Christ Jesus being virgin born
In a stable, Christ suffering scorn
Love is my Lord laying hands on the sick
The Christ giving strength to the weak

Love is my Saviour falsely accused
In silence accepting abuse
Love is Christ Jesus, scourged, mocked and in pain
Spat upon, bruised and shamed

Love is the crown of thorns that He wore
The cruel cross that Jesus bore
Love is His grace on the cross to a thief
His death for our unbelief

Love is the gaping wound in His side
The Bridegroom’s love for His Bride
Love is forgiveness for all of our sin
Our life everlasting with Him

If We Sow Thorns

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on June 22, 2021
If we sow thorns, we will not reap roses.
Seeds always bring forth after their own kind.
Be careful of the seeds you sow and always sow them in love. Sow seeds of kindness and compassion. A smile can warm the coldest heart. A kind word spoken can bring fresh hope and can turn around a life bent on self destruction. Think carefully before you sow seeds. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Who is Like Our LORD [Inspired by Psalm 113:5-8]

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on June 18, 2021
Who is like the LORD our GOD, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.
He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children.
Praise the LORD. Psalm 113::5-8
Our GOD who is omnipotent, whose throne is above the heavens and earth, who stoops down to look upon this entire universe, knows each of us by name and even knows the number of hairs on our heads. This omniscient GOD sees everything at a glance, even the smallest life form deep within the earth and in the depths of the seas. He sees the hidden tears shed in silence and hears them when they fall. There is nowhere too dark for His light to penetrate, nor too distant for him to see.This omnipresent GOD is with each one of us,seeing our strengths and our weaknesses, our darkest deeds and our deepest desires. There is nothing hidden from His sight. He sees the needs of the homeless and the needy who trust in Him and provides them with food and shelter. He lifts them out of their world of hopelessness and sets their feet on solid ground. He hears the cries of the barren woman who trusts in Him and makes her a happy mother of children.
Our GOD alone is worthy of all praise.Bless His holy Name.

Threshing Sledge

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on June 16, 2021
“See, I will make you into a threshing-sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff. You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the LORD and glory in the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:15-16
God has given us the authority and the power of Holy Spirit who indwells us, to remove all the obstacles of the enemy. He has given us His armour and His sword. We should not complain to GOD about everything. We need to thresh the mountains that stand in our way and allow the wind of Holy Spirit to blow them into the sea. He has given each of us the measure of faith. We are not to look at the size of Mustard Seed faith, but rather we should look at its potential.That was the point that Jesus was making when He said how big the mustard tree grows. When we put our trust in GOD, all things are possible.
