God is faithful in all His ways.
We may not understand everything that happens in our lives. However, what we can do is understand that God loves us and He will withhold no good things from us. We must be obedient to God's Word and the leading of Holy Spirit. In all our getting, let us get an understanding. God is for us, so who can be against us? God favors YOU!
Something to C.H.A.T. About
Character, Habit, Action, Thought. Your character has been formed and continues to be formed by your own thoughts. Your mind is very powerful. That is why we need to hide God's Word on the inside of us so that we can think on those pure, proven, and powerful things (Phil. 4:8). Scripture teaches us that our lives are surrounded, fashioned and groomed by our thoughts (Proverbs 23:7). And as you might imagine, we are the result of what we have been thinking. The enemy is seeking for someone to devour, and you need to believe and know that he is aiming for your "thoughts." As you think, then your action (choices and decisions) will be based on what you have thought. Keep it up and those choices and actions good or evil will manifest in your life and the world will know what you have been thinking.
This presentation was first delivered on December 8, 2010 at one of the elementary schools in Georgetown County (using educational examples instead of religious tone). This program helps to instill values in anyone who is willing to make a decision to listen carefully and to do something positive about what they hear during the presentation.
We need to make full use of our time. If we are going to chat, then CHAT is something worth spreading to everyone, especially our youth.

As I was meditating on my bed several weeks ago (February 2009), I heard in my spirit "Christian summer." I did not hear a full explanation of what it meant. All I know is that I had never heard those words together like that before. I knew it was a special message from the Lord. I heard the word "Christian" along with the word "summer."
I believe this is the new season that God's people have entered into. We have been through a time of coldness in our lives and in the church. The people of God have been in training and being prepared for a new season. The time has come for us to display all that we have been taught and trained to do for the Kingdom of God.
Did you plant any seeds while you were in your former season? Did you plant your seeds in good soil? Are you expecting a harvest? It is HARVEST TIME dear ones--but you will only reap what you have sown!
Don't let the summer pass and you are still not saved or doing the things required of you. We must go to the forefront with boldness and redeem mankind from destruction by administering/proclaiming the pure word of God. There is no time left for trying to "out preach" each other--competition time is over. Our motives for ministering must be genuine--pure.
Summer is here, come on out of that closet and let others taste of your good fruit placed on the inside of you by our heavenly Father. Is your fruit ripe? Come on out of that closet and let the beauty of the Lord shine through you---you have been covered and in hiding from the world long enough. It is time for the beauty of the Lord to shine through you.
As James Chapter 1 tells us, we must be unspotted and un contaminated by this world so that our religion is pure. What do people see when they look on us? Can they see "flesh" or can they really see "Jesus" in you.
Can we really say like Peter, James, and John: "Look on us."
This is the Christian summer. Think about what happens in the summer season. Do you enjoy the summer in the natural or earthly realm? Then you will also enjoy summer in the "spiritual realm."
Blessing!
