How Would I Know

HOW WOULD I KNOW by Kathy Troccoli (CD)LOVE & MERCY

If it wasn't for the times that I was down
If it wasn't for the time that I was bound
For all the times I wondered How I would ever make it through
All of the times the I couldn't see my way And I had to turn to you

(Chorus) How would I know you could deliver
How would I know you could set free
If there had never been a battle
How would I know the victory
How would I know you could be faithful To meet all of my needs Lord, I appreciate the hard times Otherwise "HOW WOULD I KNOW"

I remember all the times I had to cry
And at the time all I could do was wonder why
Why a God so kind and loving Allow me to go through all this pain
If I could see into he future Then I would know the joy I'd gain

How would I know you could make a way out of no way
How would I know if I never had a need
Brother, I know what you're going through
Sister, I know cuase I've been in your shoes
But I can truly say that I know what God can do

(chorus) How would I know you could deliver How would I know you could set free If there had never been a battle How would I know the victory How would I know you could be faithful to meet all of my needs Lord I appreciate the hard times Otherwise "HOW WOULD I KNOW"

Resist the Devil

"A vitally important strategy for surviving this war, then, is to guard your mind. The more you allow Satan to engage you on that battlefield, the weaker you will become—the more susceptible to his wiles. He will fool you into thinking that you’re strong enough to handle a little bit of wrong thinking—but you cannot entertain evil thoughts in moderation. The key is to immediately reject all wrong thoughts (2 Corinthians 10:5). The more you challenge his advances, the stronger you will become and the less effect he will have on you. “… Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). This is the key to surviving the war against immorality.

Instead of plopping yourself down in front of the boob tube, for example, use your leisure time to build your mind—filling it with good things that will provide ammunition in this war (Philippians 4:8). Read a good book, exercise to stay fit, or take a class to learn about something. (Incidentally, the Imperial College Bible Correspondence Course is an excellent way to learn about your Bible! It’s a three-year course that we offer absolutely free.) Update your knowledge and skills to be a more valuable employee. Fix things around the house, do some gardening or landscaping and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Develop a hobby or two, visit the sick, write letters or cheer someone up with a phone call. Volunteer at the local library, zoo or charity. Play games with your children. Spend time with them! There are many better things to do than watch an inordinate amount of tv. You will be happier because of it, and so will your children."

prayer

faith2

"Once we identify a problem in our lives, we verbalize its remedy. We do this in prayer. We remove thoughts of illness and failure and fear. We replace them with hope -- with knowing that God will do what is best for us. If it is right for us that the prayer be answered, then God will work the miracle. We don't deny the presence of a problem; we don't hide our heads in the sand. And we certainly don't lie to ourselves. But we do deny the power of a problem over our divine right to remove it.

We have the right. That's how good God is."
