Therefore I Urge You, Brothers

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 8, 2024
Therefore I urge you, brothers, in view of GOD’S mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to GOD – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD’S will is – His good, perfect and pleasing will.
Romans 12:1-2
It’s not by trying, but by dying. We are transformed and our mind renewed, when we spend time in the Word of GOD and in His presence. Anything we try to change in our own strength, is going to fail.
Any fruit we bare by works, belong to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Such fruit might look good for a while, but it’s going to end up rotting.
If we’re to bare Holy Spirit fruit, we need to walk in the Spirit every day. It is, after all, Holy Spirit’s fruit, not our own. His fruit is holy and eternal as it grows on the Tree of Life. We cannot bare this fruit, if we are not abiding in the Tree.
Stay blessed with every Spiritual blessing as you abide in the shadow of the the ALMIGHTY GOD.

Oh LORD GOD of Israel, there is no GOD like You

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on December 4, 2024
Oh LORD GOD of Israel, there is no GOD like You on Heaven or on Earth – You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. You have kept Your promise to Your servant David my father; with Your mouth You have promised and with Your hand You have fulfilled it – as it is today.
2 Chronicles 14-15
Praise GOD who always fulfills His promises!
GOD doesn’t just give us His Word; He is the Word! Whatever He says, is. The worlds were created by His Word and without His Word, nothing was made, that was made. (Jo 1:1-5) GOD’S Word is always yes and amen. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. His Word can never fail. What He promises will surely come to pass, as surely as night follows day.

Do Not, Therefore, Fling Away Your Fearless Confidence

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 30, 2024
Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of GOD and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
Heb. 35-36
Sometimes we need to wait patiently, with fearless confidence on the LORD, until He fulfills what is promised. There are times when failure seems inevitable. It is then that we are to stay calm and focus on the Word in the face of adversity. It is at this point that Satan applies extreme pressure on us to give up and let go of GOD’S Word. Having come so far, don’t do so. We cannot succumb to Satan’s pressure without flinging away our confidence in the promises of GOD. There’s no middle ground. When it comes to standing on the WORD, we’re either on or we’re off.
Patience has the courage to refuse to believe what Satan tries to prove in the physical world. When Satan’s pressure says that GOD is not working on our behalf, patience rejects it as a lie. Patience knows that when faith is exercised to receive a promise from GOD’S WORD, success is inevitable.
Stay blessed as you keep your eyes on , the Author and finisher of our faith.

Worship is More than Getting Lost in GOD’S Presence,

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 25, 2024
Worship is more than getting lost in GOD’S presence, although that is wonderful and I, for one, wouldn’t change that for the world. However, I believe that a higher form of worship is a life-style. It’s the way we think, speak and act every moment of our lives. It’s the way we respond to injustice, to pain, to trials and persecution and to temptation. It’s loving what GOD loves and hating what GOD hates. It’s the unconditional giving of ourselves to GOD, fully trusting Him to complete the work that He has begun in us. has already given Himself irrevocably, unwaveringly, to us.
Of course, none of us are perfect, so we are sure to mess up at times and that’s okay. GOD is quick to lend a helping hand at those times. Instead of concentrating on the negative, we should stay focused on the times we get it right. It is at those times that our worship is bringing GOD the highest glory.

GOD Made Him Who Had No Sin

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 23, 2024
2Cor.5:21 GOD made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might be made the righteousness of GOD.
Our state can never change our standing. Our state can change every other day, but our standing remains the righteousness of GOD.
We can judge our state by our standing, but we cannot judge our standing by our state.
Our state can influence our testimony, steal our joy and get us into a ship load of trouble at times, but our standing is unshakeable.
Praise GOD for the finished work of !

We Deceive Ourselves

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 19, 2024
We deceive ourselves when we think that we
Can sow to the flesh and not reap corruption
Or sow to the wind and not reap the whirlwind
For sin has a way of reaping destruction
Sin takes us further than we want to go
And sin keeps us longer than we want to stay
It’s tentacles trap us with lies and deceit
And costs us much more than we want to pay
Sow to the Spirit and reap life eternal
Break up your fallow ground
As you sow righteousness, you will reap grace and mercy
And in fruit of the Spirit abound
When we live in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit
The evil one loses his hold
Be imitators of GOD as you walk
Walk in love, purified as pure gold

Gossip Assassinates

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 17, 2024

Gossip assassinates people’s characters, alienates families, destroys relationships, annihilates friendships, causes havoc for the victims In churches, schools and places of employment, and often is the cause suicides because of the devastation it reaps. There’s a saying that goes: “Be careful of the words you speak and keep them short and sweet. You never know from day to day which words you’re going to eat.” On Judgment Day mankind will give account of every idle word spoken. (Matt 12:37)

When It Causes Pain

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 13, 2024
When it causes pain, tramples on your dreams, undermines your self confidence and tears down your self esteem, let it go. Don’t allow the destructive weeds to flourish in the garden of your heart.
GOD has planted something beautiful within you. Allow it to grow and give it space to flourish.

Speak Words of Life

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on November 11, 2024
Speak words of life, not bondage
Your words are a powerful force
They can set you free, or chain you
Your words will set the course
You set spiritual law in motion
By every word spoken aloud
Be careful of idle words you speak
Speak words of faith, no doubt
Pray the solution, not the problem
And never speak defeat
Never speak in condemnation
Never speak words of deceit
Your words, like electricity
Can bring forth pain or gain
Control your tongue and it will bring
Prosperity, not shame
And always be Word conscious
Every spoken word is seed
Whether seeds of good or evil
So to every word give heed

THANK-YOU, LORD, FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on April 12, 2023

Thank you, Lord, for Your faithfulness..

When we speak these words in praise from the heart, we not only express, but also increase our dedication to the LORD. In saying this, we recognize that all we have, comes as a result of GOD’S promises to us – as a result of His faithfulness in our lives. This type of praise recognizes that we can be dedicated to GOD, because He is dedicated to us. This type of praise recognizes that He is dedicated to our joy, our peace and our growth and that GOD has dedicated Himself to our personal joy and fulfillment.

How dedicated is GOD? [Romans 8:32] says: He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him, freely give us ALL things?

GOD is FAITHFUL. He deserves the praise and the glory for His unwavering faithfulness.
