Do not look at your life; Look at Jesus

Num 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Num 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

Num 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. ]

[Deu 8:11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
Deu 8:12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
Deu 8:13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
Deu 8:14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
Deu 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Deu 8:16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; ]

[Mar 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mar 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. ]

My Glory and the Lifter Up of My Head

Consider Jesus Christ...

Heb 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
Heb 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Heb 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Heb 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Heb 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.]


Dont consider yourself. Consider Jesus, and believe and pray without ceasing and fight until it passes.

God has put some women in my heart: women that have a testimony. Remember Hannah whose heart was breaking. She did not go to her husband to 'make it all alright', she went to God, her heavenly father. There is something that happens when I lay down on the floor with my head against the earth, crying out to the God of my help. He hears and answers. Hannah did not have a man to help her, she had the God of Israel; and that was alright. The God that has the courage to help a woman that is in distress.
He is my glory and the one who lifts up my head. He will lift up your head and your countenance will no longer be downcast.
Mary said of the Lord, "Be it unto me, according to your word".
The woman with the issue of blood said "if I touch but the hem of his garment, I shall be made whole".
Joechebed, the mother of Moses, put her son in a basket on the river Nile. She trusted in God to save her child from death.
Rahab saved her entire household: she trusted and was full of courage for the cause of the God of the Hebrews.
The Hebrew women trusted him and received strength to bear: it was written of them that the Hebrew women are lively. They be delivered ere the midwife gets there.
The Shunnamite woman said to the man of God, do not lie to me-man of God. Her husband gave her a dying child, and she went after the man of God and got that boy brought back to life.
God has put in a woman the heart and courage to cry for herself and her children...to cry and He hears and answers.
Sarah received strength to bear a son in her old age, judging Him faithful that promised. God preserved her life from apparent childlessness and from the courts of Pharaoh and Abimelech. She was not defiled in the courts of Pharaoh because the Lord looked upon her.
Leah was blessed with sons, including Judah, of the line of the Lord Jesus. She was hated and unfavored by her husband, but the Lord loved her. She was in a contest with her sister Rachel and she won.
Esther put her life on the line for her people in the name of the Lord God of Israel. Her life was preserved and she was favored of the King. Her people were delivered from their enemies because God raised up a woman 'for such a time as this'.
Jael was full of courage to annihilate the enemy that lay in her tent. In the strenght of the Lord she did not flinch.
Zipporah stood between the Lord and his servant Moses. In wisdom and graceful courage, she saved the lives of her husband and her sons.
Abigail saved the lives of all the males in her household from death by the sword of David. David remembered her and protected her in his house. She begged for the life of her wicked husband Nabal, and God gave her a man after His own heart for a husband.

God thinks on the lives and affairs of women...

The Law Will Bring You Down One Way or Another

It is rather easy when one sees somebody else fallen into a sin that your self righteous heart cannot conceive "How could they?". It is easy to point a finger and feel all good about yourself. After all, you are righteous in your own eyes.

But if you are not obeying the gospel and believing God daily, the law in your heart will snare you with something else FOR SURE. Walking in the flesh will yield some form of death, everytime.

[Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. ]

So humble yourself, and examine yourself whether you are in faith or not. Whether you are believing or being a phony.

[2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? ]

So dont sweat Eliot Spitzer's troubles. Not taking up your cross daily and obeying the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is just as wicked as Thou shalt not commit adultery-And heaven knows you would never do that....
