Do We Add To The Chaos Or Do We Bring Peace?

Triumphant Victorious Reminders
Inspired by the Holy Spirit
Written by: Teresa Stevens Criswell



When you walk into a situation...do you add negative insight to an already difficult situation? Or do you provide an atmosphere of hope? A safe place for others to thrive?

As we ponder those personal questions - here's how to activate God's faith, hope and love...be aware of God's character - how He is immovable and unchanging - no matter pop culture or circumstances or even other people's annoyances or shortcomings - just because we recognize those things does not mean we were ever meant to focus on them.  

This is a Triumphant Victorious Reminder that God is not moved by our ever changing moments of despair or joy - nor is He moved by our current status - He is not even "fickled out" by our upbringing or lack thereof - nor is He moved by whether you worked hard all your life or if you are just plain lazy...He is compelled by Himself because He is faithful and is the God of integrity and character and in this He has purposed to infuse His character and integrity  into our being so we may exercise His ability through our lives to receive the mandate to spread the Gospel of the Good News with not just our words but with our lives, displaying the Kingdom of God which is Righteousness, Peace and Joy!

Let's go...let's go in His peace - the Shalom of God that causes nothing to be broken or missing in Jesus name! What about those moments when we see things broken and missing?  We have the opportunity to change from mere sight to vision by doing something - and that "something" is utilizing our faith in God that "calls those things that be not as though they already are..." - now that's the life in Him we get to live with victory to spread hope and joy into others!

Psalm 91
Micah 6:8
Galatians 6:9
Romans 4:17

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell  "Love your enemies.  Do good to those who hate you.  Bless those who persecute you and pray for those who spitefully use you..." ~ Luke 6:27-38 ~ True story... So how's this one for revealing God's royalty in the midst of a verbal slap? The setting of this story is on a college campus involving one of the girls I get to encourage whose name is Rebecca and another young lady whom she did not know, who had some mean, choice words. "I need to talk to you! Take your sunglasses off because when I talk to you I want to see your eyes." Rebecca shocked, took her sunglasses off, thinking to herself, "I think she has the wrong person." "You're a fake 'B with an ITCH' and I see you walking on campus all the time so happy and I see you're full of sh*%. There's no way someone could be THAT happy all the time". Rebe

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell "Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established." ~Proverbs 16:3 ~ It was Monday and I was doing the normal thing; driving to the grocery store. I was planning on going to this particular store which I enjoy frequenting. However, this day I was convicted to commit even this 'to do' moment to Him. I prayed to the Lord to guide my steps and as I was driving I was led to go to a different store which I do not like to frequent because of the great lack in customer service. But as I looked back upon that irritation, for me to complain about not having a good customer service experience is truly not suffering. Perspective was put back into its proper place...I was reminded to have options to go anywhere while others experience true suffering was insulting to those who truly suffer; especially for the cause of Christ Jesus. Hence, as I drove to this particular store,

To understand the significance of this story, you'll want to read that story first :) Paused with awe. "What? Another story involving a penny?" I am overwhelmed by the resounding testimonies that have been relayed back to me either by phone, email, text message or in person. "Teresa, I got a 'God Kiss' today as I found a penny." "Teresa, I was at work and on the floor in the bakery department there was a shiny penny." "Look! I found a penny in my jacket pocket." "Teresa, I thought of your mom today. I received a God Kiss as I found a penny." "I'll never look at a penny the same way again! ;)" Sharing some of the text messages and comments from my last post , I am delighte
