Christian Living: A Step Out

A Step Out

Ok, so for the last 14 days I took some quality time for just me and God. I needed it. I cut out food, socializing, the internet, and all secular activity to devote time with my Savior. Lots of revelation and breakthrough. I needed it. I needed to hear from God. And He spoke loud and clear.

In just 14 short days, my life has changed. I literally feel myself at a higher level. Thanks for checking in daily only to find that I wasn’t here. But I’m back and I’m sure I will have lots to talk about in the next few days. Right now I just want to eat something really good, and sit in front of the television. God Bless!!!

What is Jill Revealed

Welcome!!! If your visiting for the first time, just want to give you an overview of what this blog is about. This blog contains personal feelings, thoughts, encounters, experiences, lessons, and opinions of my day-to-day walk with Christ. Perhaps we are sharing the same journey, and so I believe we in the Body of Christ need to support one another. If you are inspired by my entries then by all means I want to hear from you. But please note that I am fully aware that you may not agree with all I express, but I ask that you respect me no less than a growing Child of God. Therefore, I will not accept, nor respond to negativity. I hope you are blessed and will check in regularly. --jill

Previous Meditation Scriptures

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. --Romans 15:5-6

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. --Psalm 46:10

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. --Romans 8:24-26

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. --2 Corinthians 1:3-4

…..through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. --Romans 5:2-4

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. --2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. --1 Peter 2:9

After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn't we drive it out?” He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer. --Mark 9:28-29

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. --Romans 5:1-5

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. --Romans 6:1-4

God didn't set us up for an angry rejection but for salvation by our Master, Jesus Christ. He died for us, a death that triggered life. Whether we're awake with the living or asleep with the dead, we're alive with him! So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you'll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you're already doing this; just keep on doing it. -- 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You. --Psalm 25:21

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. --Matthew 7:19-20

I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. --Psalms 16:7-8

Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. --Hebrews 10:32-35

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. --Luke 5:16

….These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. ---Revelation 3:7-8

It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. --Psalm 44:3

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. --Matthew 7:25

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you can ask anything in My name, and it shall be done for you. --John 15:7

My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek. Psalm 27:8

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. --Philippians 4:4-7

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. --Romans 12:1

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. --Mathew 11:28-29

Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing. --Ezekiel 47:12

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. --1 Corinthians 13:3-5

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us--they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. --Romans 5:3-4 (NLT)

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.... ---Psalm 30:11

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ---Philippians 1:6

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. --2 Chronicles 7:14

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. --Galatians 6:9

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you. --Hosea 10:12

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. --Micah 6:8
