Keeping those scriptures before us which God gives to us by HIS Spirit

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

God brings scriptures to our attention to encourage us.  

 

When this happens, those scriptures are chosen by God for us to fit our need.  

 

For example:

 

In Pam Padgett's more recent need, God gave her this scripture:  Psa. 32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.

 

In my most recent need, God gave me:  Romans 1:16-17  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 

It is important to collect the scriptures which God brings to our mind and  keep them before us day and night (for a season) to strengthen us and encourage us in our assignments. 

 

As individuals, our needs at this point in time differ, but God fills those needs in our lives by calling to our attention scriptures or dreams which we need to keep before us.

 

I will share with you a few of my personal collection of scriptures which I keep on my Kindle photo album for easy access.  

 

I usually go over these scriptures daily to help me in the faith and to strengthen me in the assignment God has given me while HE keeps me on this present earth.

 

This may shock you, but I find it even harder today to keep the faith and do the work of God than it was 40 years ago.  

 

I believe this means the sins of people and the attack of devils has increased because we draw closer to the return of Jesus.  (See: Rev. 12:11-13)

 

Therefore I find that I need to do even more meditating in scriptures, for the time of Jesus' return draws nearer.
