Koffee With Kelli

Acts 7:54-60 - The Stoning of Stephen.  Saul was there, Paul... holding the garments of those who where stoning him.    God used Stephen filled with the Holy Spirit to boldly testify that Jesus was the Messiah, that he fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, and the law.  Stephen witnessed to Saul.  He planted seeds in Saul's life.  He died not knowing who Saul would become - the apostle Paul.  You never know when you are being used.  You may have the ball in your hands, shoot for the 3 pointer, and never get to hear the crowd roar as the ball rolls on the rim through the net.  God is using you. I pray you are blessed and encouraged today!

Romans 5 - Trials build endurance and endurance character.  I am definitely a character, but I love Jesus - what about you?  It's not too late to start running with Jesus.  He loves you!  He died for you!  In Romans 7 Paul, the author of the book, says the things he wants to do he doesn't, and the things he doesn't want to do he does.  We are all sinners - but he still loves us and wants us to choose him! I pray you are blessed and encouraged!

Jeremiah 29:4-11  No matter what you are going through in your life, trust Jesus.  Read his word, and be encouraged!  Part of trusting him is being ok with our circumstances because we know he reigns victorious.  I win because of am on the winning team, no matter where life takes me.  AMEN!   I pray you are encouraged, and blessed today!

Thank you for listening to Koffee With Kelli!  In this podcast I discuss the consequences of a hardened heart towards God and the results that come from it.

Psalm 37:23 "The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand." Romans 8:15 "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry 'Abba!  Father!'" Psalm 139:8 "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, no pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Run to the Father - your "daddy".   to listen to Cody Carnes, Run to the Father:  https://youtu.be/HTHS4W1bPj8 Be blessed and encouraged.  He loves you like a daddy!

If you haven't read "Evidence Not Seen" by Darlene Deibler Rose, I highly recommend it.  It's truly inspiring, and helps with perspective.  Be blessed and encouraged!

Genesis 4:7 "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” God knows your heart.  You can fool everyone around you, but HE knows (Psalm 139) Keep reading your bibles! I pray you are blessed, and encouraged.

Genesis 3:1-7 'Did God really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?"  Satan is still using the same tactics on us that he use on Eve.   1 Peter 1:1  "Peter an Apostle of Christ.."  Know who you are. Get into the word so that you aren't deceived.  Be bless and encouraged.

John 13:36-38; Luke 22:31-34; Job 1:6-12  Satan must go to God before he does anything.  Remember that God is in control, even when you don't understand.  God will bring you through the sifting, and use the trial for his Glory.  Go and use it to strengthen your brothers! I pray that you are encouraged and blessed!

Jesus forgives, do you know him?  Pharisee did not recognize who Jesus was.  Luke 7:36-50 Anointing by the sinful woman.  "... Therefore, I tell you, her sins have been forgiven - for she has loved much.  But he who has been forgiven little loves little."   The demons know who HE is. Demon-possessed in Gerasene.  Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39  "When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.  He shouted at the top of his voice, 'what do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?  Swear to God you won't torture me!'" He loves you, you are worthy of his love! Natalie Grant - Clean:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idm7RlwrZVw Be blessed and encouraged!
