Month: February 2017

Good morning my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so much. I am supposed to be studying for my test right now but I just wanted to say hello first. I am taking a break from studying for a minute. I studied today for hours in one of my favorite coffee shops. It was nice watching the couples walking by, many holding hands, celebrating Valentine’s Day. You could feel the Love in the air.

I watched the last minute shoppers scurrying around to purchase their gifts. As for me; small gift cards to my children and grandchildren and special doggie treats for my Chihuahuas. My Valentine’s Day was filled with the love of the Lord like every day of my life. His Love is the best love to me and it is available to everyone all of the time and unconditionally. Life doesn’t get any better than that!

Dear Lord, Thank You for Your pure love that you bestow freely upon all of us, Your children. Thank You for loving us so much that You gave Your Only Son Jesus Christ to die for us so that we can live with You for eternity. Call us unto You Lord so we can experience this intimate personal relationship of love with You every moment of every day.

Please help those who feel that they are unlovable to know that You love them and You never leave us nor forsake us. We can go through life with our heads held high because we are sons and daughters of the King of kings and the Lord of lords, Magistrate of magistrates, the One and Only Great Potentate. Lord let Your people know that no matter what our circumstances may be here on earth, we can still rise above our circumstances and experience real joy in You. Your Holy Spirit leads and guides us.

Please Lord continue to bless our ‘2017’. Please protect all of these, Your people for all of their generations and keep Your angels around them. We ask this in Jesus Precious Name and thank You in advance. Amen.

I was thinking of how my 2017 began this year. I usually like to fast from eating starting on the last week of December and continue for 40 days. I make smoothies and protein drinks, soups, etc. This year I was so sick for a month. It really caught me by surprise. Even though I have almost passed away 4 times related to cancer and complications from  surgeries; I never get sick. If I start to get sick I speak God’s healing scriptures and pray and I end up well…Praise God!

This time I did the same; I prayed constantly and spoke God’s all powerful WORD but this time  I needed to go to the Doctor and get a “Z-pack” also. (For those who don’t know this is  a powerful antibiotic.) The problem was that I was too sick to even drive myself to the Doctor. I had to go to work and I would come home and sleep for 12hrs. If I was off work, I slept 36hrs straight. So I didn’t get my antibiotics for weeks. This was not the way I planned to start my year.

What I think that I learned from this was that this year the LORD wants me to Rest in Him. It was not about me fasting or making other sacrifices this time, this year. (I did fast from watching TV and sweets though.) God says that obedience is better than sacrifice and this year I am focusing on being obedient (or more obedient); especially when it comes to keeping  a good attitude, even when people hurt me over and over. I want to be a conduit of God’s Love.

I have also experienced some heartbreaks in family relationships that have caused me a lot of pain. But I focus on God’s WORD that says that He works all things together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

Any way I just wanted to share these thoughts. Many times we have many lofty ideas about what we are going to do in the New Year and the improvements that we will make and the things that we will give up. This is all very good.  Setting goals is awesome. Striving to better ourselves is to be admired  God says we should write down the vision and make it clear.

However when there are those times that life doesn’t work out the way “we” planned, we can still find joy and satisfaction in the new circumstances a lot of the time. Even if the circumstance aren’t good we can always Rejoice in the LORD! We can rest assured that God has His Divine plan and purpose for our lives and nothing catches Him off guard. He knew everything that would happen to us before we even arrived here on earth. We all have great purpose and destiny. Trust in the LORD!

I have to go for now. God help me with my test…please!  The study of Apologetics is no joke! It is intense.  Until we get to talk again, I love you and keep you in my prayers. God bless you always! Jesus loves you.

JOHN 3:16    FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. (NIV)

DEUTERONOMY 31:6 BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID OR TERRIFIED BECAUSE OF THEM, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD GOES WITH YOU; HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. (NIV)

1 SAMUEL15:22    WHAT IS MORE PLEASING TO THE LORD: YOUR (BURNT OFFERINGS) AND SACRIFICES OR YOUR OBEDIENCE TO HIS VOICE?  OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE….(NLT)

HABAKKUK 2:2    AND THE LORD ANSWERED ME, AND SAID, WRITE THE VISION, AND MAKE IT PLAIN. (NIV)

PHILIPPIANS 4:4    REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS; AGAIN I SAY REJOICE! (ESV)

ROMANS 8:28    AND WE KNOW THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.  (NIV)

 

Good morning my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. You are all awesome. It is an awesome privilege to be able to speak to you all this morning. Jesus Loves You!

Dear Lord, we come to You with open hearts desiring for You to fill them with Your pure love. We ask that You give us love not just for those who are close to us but also for those who have been deemed to be unlovely and those that have hurt us once or many times over. Also those we don’t agree with and those we do not choose to be around.

We know Lord that we are human and we fall short in our frail human state. However Your WORD the Bible states that we can do ALL THINGS IN CHRIST JESUS Who strengthens us. We ask that You live through us Lord to reach Your people who are hurting. We thank You that just as we are never alone, because You are always with us; they are never alone either. Please help all of us to always have a keen awareness of this Lord.

Please bless everyone this day Lord and all of their generations. Some of us in our part of the world are finishing up our day and some of us are beginning it now at this early morning hour. We all live in different time zones. You live outside of time Lord in eternity. You are the Creator of time. You are magnificent. You choose to be in our lives with us in our short time here on this earth, and then for all eternity for those of us who choose to spend eternity with You.

Please Lord call everyone of us to You in a mighty way. Show us Your Omnipresence, Your Omnipotence. Let us utilize Your Dunamis Power from Your Holy Spirit that You bestowed upon all of us who believe in You and have accepted You as our Lord and Savior Jesus. Help us to be Your World Changers! We are Victorious in You Lord. We thank You in advance. In Jesus Precious Name. Amen! Glory to God!

I know I have shared some of this information before in previous letters to you. I wanted to share some of the most uplifting, inspiring, Spirit filled resources with you all because I want you to be able to listen to TV or radio, or “surf the net” and find these resources whenever you desire. So here are some awesome preachers and resources.

Channels: TBN-Trinity Broadcasting Network. On Direct TV it is channel 372. It is on 24/7. The preachers and programs are all awesome and inspiring. They recently added another channel to their family of channels. This is the Hillsong Channel. It is channel 371. The Original Hillsong Church is located in Australia with Brian and Bobbie Houston. They are a global church and some of the other locations are in Hollywood, California, New York, Arizona, London. (Those are the ones I have heard about.) Each of the Pastors have their own style and are all excellent and inspiring. The Pastor in New York is on fire for the Lord!

They will be having the Hillsong Conference in LA, CA this year in November. Lets go!! They will also be having the Colour Conference in LA this year. Yes! (We truly are a global family, this is awesome!)

There are many other Christian channels: Daystar, GOD TV, CBN and many radio stations. I love Drive Through History the show that actually takes us to Israel and where Jesus lived. I also love the Messianic Jewish Rabbis who preach.

Some other preachers that I love so much that are on fire for the LORD are John Gray. He is one of the Assistant Pastors at Joel Osteen’s church, Lakewood Church in Texas. He is powerfully anointed for the LORD. You can see him on TBN on “John Gray’s World”, on Wednesday nights. They offer resources that you can enjoy in your own home also. Joel Osteen is also awesome-very positive.

Wednesday night is an awesome night for preaching. I also love Beth Moore. Oh my gosh, she is amazing to me. She brings God’s WORD, the Bible alive. She has many teaching resources on books of the Bible.

I love Robert Morris, Leon Fontaine, Steven Furtick, TD Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Joseph Prince from China, Joyce Myer. I’m telling you, all that I love to do on my extra time when I’m not working, going to church, Bible College or studying is watch these Pastors and so very many more. I could not name all of the most awesome, anointed Pastors that the LORD is raising up at such a time as this to do His work, to be His world changers to share His love! They all have awesome books, CDs, DVDs, resources. (I also get as many of these as I can. I love to listen to them when I am driving.)

Of course the One Most Important source of information alone is God’s WORD the Bible. Oh my gosh, there is nothing like reading His WORD. The Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John contain the very Words that Jesus spoke. The entire Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit Himself. Life doesn’t get any better than this.

There are so many awesome local churches. Please get yourselves plugged into this awesome support system that God created. He calls us, His Church, His Bride. We are the Bride of Christ. We all need support, people to pray with and talk to, we need community. We all need to reach out to others. Let’s purposefully look for the hurting people and try to help them. I really think that giving to others is such a blessing. I know I get way more blessed than the people that I am blessed to be able to give to. I love to be able to be used by the LORD. What a privilege!

I know I have mentioned the International School of Ministry. (ISOM). There is nothing like this. My life has been forever changed. I am so grateful. This Bible College is located around the world at different locations. I do not know the list of locations but it could be found on-line. Also the classes can actually be taken on-line.

I know that some of the things that I write may seem basic, but I do not know how much everyone who may be reading this actually knows about the LORD and I want you all to know HIM and have a personal intimate relationship with HIM because I love you.

Well I have to go for now. Until we speak again, I love you so very much. Most importantly Jesus loves you. God bless you and your families always and God keep His angels around all of you.

PS….Sorry for my typing errors. I try to proof read but I do notice I make errors.

 

Hello my most awesome World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I am so blessed to be able to talk to you all again. I am at one of my favorite coffee shops and  was thinking about you and couldn’t wait to talk you, I have missed you all as usual.  This semester in Bible College, learning Apologetics has been pretty intense so far. We have been learning about many of the different religions in the world. The more I learn, the more I love Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The One Whom God says is the only way to Him. The more I learn, the more I have full assurance and peace in knowing that Jesus Christ is Lord.

I wish that all of you could have this knowledge also. And not only have this knowledge but have this personal relationship with God the Creator of the Universe Who loves you all so very much. So much in fact that He gave His Only Son to die for us for the remission of our sins so we can live for all eternity with Him, those of us who accept this Gift. This life here on earth is oh so brief; then we enter eternity. Where will we be spending it? The choice is ours now.

Dear Lord God, we come to You with gratitude in our hearts for Who You are. We love You Lord. Thank You for all that You always do for all of us Your children. Call us all unto You Lord Jesus. Touch our hearts and minds. Show Yourself to us  so we can all know that You are The Way, The Truth and The Life Lord Jesus.

Thank You that You are protecting everyone of these Your children and their families for all generations. Keep Your angels around them Lord. Provide all of their needs. Let them feel Your presence. Let them know they are never alone and that You love them so much with Your perfect love. Fill us with Your love for one another.

Thank You for freedom here in America Lord. We pray for freedom in all nations to be able to know You and worship You and not be persecuted for their belief in You. Awaken us here in America Lord to be Your Heart and Hands to a hurting world. Don’t let us be a sleeping church Lord but help us to be on fire for You at such a time as this in this generation in which we live.

Lead us and guide us with Your Holy Spirit. Fill us with Your wisdom and Your WORD, the Bible. Use us to do Your will, to properly represent You Lord. To bring You glory, pleasure and precious souls. We love You and Praise You and thank You in advance. In Jesus Name, Amen! Glory to God!

As many of us know, America seems to be in a great period of unrest at this time. There have been protests and even riots. There have been hateful statements and even threats. This is not the way in which we are to live. We are to be peaceful and loving. Of course we are blessed that we have the right to speak our minds but we should do all things in love.

It does no good to anyone to stir up strife and hatred. I am looking at the bright side of things. God is greater than any political party. He is ultimately in charge. It is He Who will ultimately raise up kings (leaders) and bring others down. He can use anyone to do anything that He wants done.

1 TIMOTHY 2:2  PRAY FOR KINGS AND ALL THOSE IN AUTHORITY, THAT WE MAY LIVE PEACEFUL AND QUIET LIVES IN ALL GODLINESS AND HOLINESS. (NIV)

I am personally thankful so far that any harm that might have been done to Israel at the UN meeting and vote in Paris was thwarted.

GENESIS 12:3    I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU AND CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU. ALL THE FAMILIES ON EARTH WILL BE BLESED THROUGH YOU. (ISRAEL)

I want to be blessed in America. I am also thankful that there has been talk against abortion. The killing of those innocent ones without a voice. I know that it has been great; all of the progress made for women. We can continue to progress as women. Women can have freedom of choice. So why not make the responsible choice to either choose God’s plan of celibacy until marriage which would be the ultimate good choice.

Or, if not this choice then at least be responsible and use birth control protection instead of acting as if you are caught by surprise when you become pregnant when you did not want to be pregnant, and then killing your unborn child. We can do better than this America. We are more educated than this. We have birth control protection resources available everywhere-even in public schools and especially in Free Clinics if you cannot afford a Private Medical Doctor.

PROVERBS 31:8    SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL WHO ARE DESTITUTE.

I heard that our new President only takes $1.00 salary annually and that he even donated to the US Treasury. Those are both very positive and have not been done in American History.

We actually need to put our trust in the LORD. He alone is our Supreme Leader, our Provider, our Divine Healer, our only source of Peace/Shalom and Pure Love. We need to rise above world systems as our source and pray to God Who delights in caring for His children. I will be thankful for America to again be proud to be One Nation Under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Well, I have to go for now. This place is closing. Until I get to speak to you all again, I love you so much and even most importantly, Jesus loves you. God bless you all every moment of every day!
