Recently a friend sent me a letter, asking me to be involved in a chain-letter asking people to send scriptures to one person and then to have ten other friends send scriptures to someone else. Instead of putting the "pressure" on ten other people to choose a scripture to send to someone they don't know plus figure out ten other people who want to be involved, I decided to send 11 scriptures to 2 people who are involved in the chain letter. Then I decided maybe more people would like to be encouraged by scriptures that encouraged me.
The Word of God, promises us that His word will accomplish all He desires it to. I pray that the Word of God will speak to your hearts and may the comments encourage and challenge you also.

Hebrews
13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and
forever.”
The character of God
never changes and His power to change lives is the same today as it has always
been.
2.
John 6:68
“Simon Peter answered Him, ‘Lord
to whom shall we go? You have the words
of eternal life.’”
There is no other
place to go for life than to Jesus.
3.
No man
comes to the Father except through me.
Salvation is through One man, the God man; Son
of God and Son of man, our Lord Jesus Christ.
4.
Psalm
107:8-9
“Out of the depths of my heart I cry to you. I desire to see the living God.”
Are our hearts crying
out in desperation for the presence of the living God? He desires to answer that prayer.
5.
Isaiah 42:9-10
“Behold, the former things have come to pass, now I declare
new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you. Sing to the Lord a new song; Sing His praise
from the end of the earth! You who go
down to the sea, and all that is in it. You
island and those who dwell on them.
God desires to continually
do a new work in our hearts and lives.
Let us praise Him for all He has done and all He will do!
6.
Isaiah
41:10
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about
you, for I am your God. I will
strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my
righteous right hand.”
Remember when life’s
struggles start to overwhelm us, we have a God that can and will deliver us
from all anxiety; just look to Him to
be your strength.

Romans
14:8-9
“for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die
for the Lord; therefore whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again,
that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.”
Are we allowing Christ
to be Lord of all the areas of our live or only part of it? Let us surrender all we are to Jesus, so He
will truly be Lord of everything in our lives.
8.
Galatians 5:1
“It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep
standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.”
Who or what is
controlling your life? If it is not
Christ, then you are not experiencing the freedom that God desires for your
life.
9.
Isaiah
12:2
“Behold God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and song and He has become my salvation.”
Lord, may we realize how strong you are to save and may our hearts and all that we are, burst forth in praise to you. Amen
10.
James 4:7
“Submit therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee
from you.”
To resist the devil
effectively, we must first submit to God.
Colossians 2:6-10
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the lord, so
walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established
in your faith, just as you were instructed and overflowing with gratitude. See to it that no one takes you captive
through philosophy and empty deception, according to the traditions of men,
according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to
Christ. For in Him all the fullness of
Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is
the head over all rule and authority.”
Remember where you
have come from and who you believe in, don’t allow man’s vain thoughts sway you
from following Christ and His direction for your life. He is the one who completes you and He is Ruler
over all.
