1 John 4:4 (Amplified Bible)
4Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. Amen!

17 ‘In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—
and they will prophesy.
19 And I will cause wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below—
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
20 The sun will become dark,
and the moon will turn blood red
before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
21 But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved.’
God gave me this verse yesterday as I was driving home from church. Even though the earth is going crazy between flooding, blizzards in March in Texas, volcano's, tornado's, shootings, the economy and so on and so on. We are living in a pretty messed up place. I feel it's only going to get worse before it will get better which will be when He comes back for us! But I see him poring out His spirit just like He promised! He wants us to draw near to Him in these scary & difficult times. I can't help but be excited to see Him work even through these times!
16 But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress.
No matter what I go through in life "The good or bad" I will give Him praise for He will see me through. God is so faithful even though I am not always. I am thankful He is always working everything out for good for our behalf. I am thankful we are the head & not the tail. I am thankful He walks beside,behind & in front of us. I am thankful that we have the favor of God everyday if we ask for it. I am thankful His mercy & grace is new everyday!
