Vignettes Bigger and Better Always! But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”  I Corinthians 2:9 What Do You Think Of Yourself?  Examine your thoughts this morning. Ask yourself what you truly think of yourself. Have you made up your mind that this, what you are living now, is all there is for you? Are most of your thoughts about yourself for good, or are your thoughts of you steeped in negativity, basically given up hope already, definitely not focused on God's best for your life?

When we pray to or petition God,  He does not turn and say to Jesus, They asked Me for something. That blesses My heart. All things are possibl...

Vignettes Who Do You Say I Am? He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Matthew 16:15  Who Was Jesus To His Disciples? Who do you say I Am? When Jesus asked His disciples this question, the Spirit-led answer Peter gave was,  Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.  (Matthew 16:16 KJV).

The disciples also knew Jesus intuitively because they knew by the witness of the Spirit in them that Jesus was the promised Messiah of God, the...
