Are you as excited about Jesus this Monday morning as you were in Praise and Worship Service yesterday ???? Amen........That the life we live would be glorifying to Christ Jesus, not just Sundays but everyday.
Praying that God would be Glorifed in my Life today ~~ Blessings, Ella
Ph'p:1:12: But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
Ph'p:1:13: So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
Ph'p:1:14: And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Ph'p:1:15: Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:Ph'p:1:16: The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Ph'p:1:17: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Ph'p:1:18: What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Ph'p:1:19: For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Ph'p:1:20: According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Ph'p:1:21: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Ph'p:1:22: But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Ph'p:1:23: For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Ph'p:1:24: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
Ph'p:1:25: And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
Ph'p:1:26: That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
Ph'p:1:27: Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Ph'p:1:28: And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
Ph'p:1:29: For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Ph'p:1:30: Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

There's definitely a season that's just come upon us.
I feel that God is causing us to judge ourselves - our hearts - our motives - our very beliefs. And I believe this is a great blessing because I believe it's a season of grace before what's to come when God will judge the church.
Oh may we be found strong enough to go through what's coming and still speak in boldness without fear.
Excellent verses Ella.
Beautiful post, as always Ella. Thank you for feeding my soul, dear friend.
Love ya
Ma TK
Deb ~ I agree, even in fellowship this past weekend there was such a sense of purpose. Not about us but rather all about Him.
Hugs, Ella
TK ~ God is Faithful....wanting to draw close to Him.
Love Ya too!
