Post something positive!

I love that verse. And the Psalm that says, "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40:2

In prayer yesterday He told me He would plant my feet on solid ground and make straight the crooked paths!
I will take this as confirmation!:)

Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Peace!
Amen!

2 Thessalonians 3:3 "But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one."

Protection from the evil one always puts a picture in my mind of His glorious very large angels, covering my home to keep the fiery darts away! Well, however He does it, it's calming :)

It always feels so amazing when you get a confirmation of something God has said.
I love it! and yes it does feel good!:)
We never know who we might be blessing when we share our testimony with one another and you sharing that scripture was just so on target....is anything coincidental with God....I don't believe so....I think He has everything perfectly planned out for us as long as we acknowledge Him in all our ways!

Philippians:

" Whatever happens, keep living your lives based on the reality of the gospel of Christ, which reveals him to others.

Then when I come to see you, or hear good reports of you,

I’ll know that you stand united in one Spirit and one passion—celebrating together as conquerors in the faith of the gospel.

And then you will never be shaken or intimidated by the opposition that rises up against us,

for your courage will only prove as a sure sign from God of their coming destruction and that you have found a new life.

For God has graciously given you the privilege not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for him.

For you have been called by him to endure the conflict in the same way I have endured it—for you know I’m not giving up."

Yes Nancy, 'glorious and very large angels' is about right. When we first moved here I 'saw' a glorious and very large angel clothed in gold armour and carrying a sword on guard duty on our front steps.

I don't know - I just did a search , copy , and paste from biblegateway.com (I think)
I use that site all the time....it has tools to parallel alongside whatever version of translation you are reading at the time....
example I can read scripture in the KJV, ESV, NIV, NKJV all at the same time....but it sucks for offering cross references.

Sorry off topic....back to the OP and topic at hand!

Oh what an awesome and comforting site to see while moving into a new house! God made the way for you to walk into a home you knew you would feel safe in :)
For months now, I have been wanting to get back into my graphite drawings. I keep picturing in my mind how things are like in the spiritual world. My idea is just drawing parts of my neighborhood with demons hanging from the eaves of homes, trees on cars, etc...but then I see a few of Gods mighty angels between them and some people. The demons are not bothering the ones who walk down the street doing all sorts of mischief as Satan already has these people where he wants them. It has been years, decades really since I picked up my art supplies so...most likely pretty rusty...of course I could put it Picasso style, then it wont matter if I am symmetrical or not, LOL!

BE wary of graven images and anything made trying to picture anything in heaven.

It would be lovely to see some of your artwork Nancy.
