Look on the inside   Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.  Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.  1 Peter 3: 3-4.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16: 7 It is in our nature to look at a person's appearance before we even know their name. As new creatures in Christ, He says to not to look at a person's outside, but the fruit in which they bare. Galatians gives us the fruit of the Spirit that we should all desire to have on this Christian journey. In fact we must have them in order to become the image of Jesus.  We will not always be able to tell what a person is really like by how they look.  Nor will a person be able to tell what we are like on the inside. There may be those who are beautiful and well pu...

To the Saints of Christ May the mind of Christ, our Redeemer, live in us from day to day by His love and power controlling all we do and say. May the Word of God dwell richly in our hearts from hour to hour, so that all may see we triumph ONLY through and by the power of God. May the peace of God, our Father, rule our lives in all we do and say that we may be calm to comfort te sick and the sorrowing. May the love of Jesus fill us as the waters fill the ocean so we will walk in full power and authority. May we love each other so that the world will know that we are disciples of God. Peace and Blessings to each of you.

         When Jesus comes back, He isn't coming back for just an individual, but will be coming back for a unified body. Therefore, as the body of Christ we must be able to speak the truth in love so that we may grow up in all things unto Him who is the head-Christ- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4. We are to bear and share burdens. Therefore, if a person is overtaken in any trespass, we who are spiritual restore them in a spirit of gentleness, considering ourselves lest we also be tempted. Galatians 6. We are to value one another. Two is better than one. If one falls the other can help him up. One is overpowered by another, but two can withstand him. and a threefold cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4. In God's Hands & God's Service, Mary

The Battle is Not Yours, But God's 2 Chronicles 20:1-29 They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.... Have you ever been up against something that wasn't your battle although it was happening against you? When we realize which battles we are to fight and which battle only God the Lord of host can fight, it is then we will be victorious. I have to take the example from Jehoshaphat. He sought the LORD for help. Second Chronicles 20:4-6 states: "So Judah gathered together to seek help from the LORD; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD. Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD before the new court, and he said, 'O LORD, the God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? And are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You.'" (2 Chronicles 20:4-6). When there are battles that are b...

     This has been a constant and continual revelation and illumination for me as I grow in grace. When the enemy tries to make me believe his lies, I begin to confess what the Word of God says about me. I am redeemed through the blood of the Lamb. (Ephesians 1:7) I am chosen in order that I might be for the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:11-12) I am rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of Jesus. (Colossians 1:13) I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21) I can do all things through Jesus Christ. (Philippians 4:13) I am complete in Christ Jesus. (Colossians 2:10)      These are just a few of the confession I make. And these confessions are for all who are in Christ Jesus. I don't know about you but I choose to believe the report of the Lord instead of what lies the enemy tries to throw at me.      I have heard various individual clam that they are not "worthy" and I wonder if the...

 Greetings,       Dove Ministry 378, INC was inspired by the Holy Spirit one day as I was writing in my journal in 2012. I wasn't sure to what extent the ministry would be developed and I am still walking by faith that what the Lord has started He will finish and maintain.      We invite you to take an active part in this Blog. As we post on various subject matters, please get involved and comment or ask questions. We are all in this together. Helping one another in Jesus' name and in the love and edifying of those in the Body of Christ. Again, welcome, welcome, welcome. I am looking forward to getting know each of you. Be Blessed. In God's Hands & His Service, Dr. Mary J. Bryant Servant of the Most High God
