Month: October 2017

Hello my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I am doing what I do best; sitting in a coffee shop doing my Bible study and thinking about you. I just had to say hello to you all. Also I wanted to share a couple of thoughts, or actually a couple of revelations that I believe I received from the LORD.

Dear LORD thank You so much for this time to pray to You Father and to thank You for Who you are and Whose we are. Thank You mostly for Your Son, our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

Thank You that You provide for us as Jehovah Jireh, the LORD our Provider. You lead and guide us as Jehovah Roi, the LORD our Shepherd and You heal us completely; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and physically as Jehovah Rapha, the LORD our Healer.

Thank You that we are never alone because You are always with us LORD and You protect us with Your angels. Thank You that You are calling anyone that You feel will benefit from reading this site with the purpose only to draw all people to You and bring You glory LORD.

Father we cry out for victims everywhere LORD. They need You. They also need all of us who are able to help them. Call us LORD. Send us to help these people. Provide for us so we can help provide for them. Bless us so we can be a blessing please LORD. Let them feel Your presence LORD.  We thank You in advance. In Jesus Precious Name. Amen. Glory to God!

Today as I was walking the chihuahuas I had a experience that I felt was so cool because I felt God used it to teach me something new. Every time I take my dogs for a walk, I carry a small bag to pick up their “mess” when they go. (I know that’s grose but so is leaving it all over other people’s yards.)

Any way; I was passing this one house and I heard a lot of noise as if someone was banging on their window and then urgently running out onto their porch.  Then I heard them loudly saying something that I did not understand because I did not speak their language.

I asked the lady if she was speaking to me. She started angrily pointing to her yard. I pointed to my little bag and she said “oh”. I went on my way and she calmed down. I was unaffected by the ordeal because I didn’t speak her language and I didn’t really know exactly what she was saying.  Apparently she thought I had just let my dogs mess on her yard.

Then I felt like the Holy Spirit was sharing the following awesome epiphany with me. When people are trying to hurt my feelings, slander me, belittle me, yell at me or treat me poorly; I can choose to be unaffected because they are not “speaking my language”.

You see, as a follower of Jesus Christ, I am called to walk in love even when others don’t. I am called to speak words of love and life even when others hate me. My language should be God’s love language. I am not supposed to take offense which could then lead to bitterness and possibly hatred. I am called to “speak a different language.”

The second “parable” happened when I was watering my yard and trying to soak it so that I can dig up the dirt and crab grass and prepare it for new grass seeds. (I don’t really like doing yard work and this is ridiculously hard….there I vented.) Now back to the story…

Anyway, I soaked all of the grass areas and then began digging up the areas with a hoe. Even though all of the yard had been watered; when I struck the ground in some areas, dirt and dust flew up into the air. When I struck other areas; water and mud flew up. (This was not fun.)

What I felt that the Holy Spirit was teaching me at that time was that His WORD the Bible is available to us. Jesus died for all of us. God is not a respecter of persons. Then why do some hear His WORD and come up “dry” (like the dry dirt). They don”t grow in the LORD. They don’t flourish, they stagnate or loose interest.

Then there are others who hear the same WORD that is offered to them. They soak it up. They can’t get enough of it. They read it, they hunger after it. They hunger after the LORD Jesus Christ Whom is the WORD made flesh. They receive so much living water,  (like my areas of dirt that shot up the water), that they can’t even contain it all. (Exceedingly, abundantly.) The water (the very life and love of Jesus), just shoots out of them. Out of the overflow they can affect others for Christ and become world changers for the LORD.

MATTHEW 13  THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER

This is an awesome parable from our LORD. Sorry it is too long for me to write it all here but to me it is like this experience with the dirt in my yard.

Wow, the time has flown by. The coffee shop is closing. I have to go now. Until we speak again please remember I am always praying for you all and I love you. Most importantly Jesus loves you. God bless you and all of your generations.

Hello my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much! I am so excited to be able to have this privilege to write to you at this time. I have been driving here and there to my children and grandchildren’s homes. I have been trying to be there for each one of them during this time in their lives.

I am trying to do my part to impart Jesus into their lives. I want to speak forth His WORD, His Truth that Supersedes fact; into the third and fourth generations like God has commanded me to do. I take this very seriously. In fact there is really nothing as serious as this responsibility. And of course, I love them so very much!

Dear LORD God Almighty, we come to You with humble and hope filled hearts of praise and worship to You. We love You LORD. Thank You that we have You to talk to and to share life with. Thank You that we are never alone nor forsaken. Thank You that You protect us with Your angels. Thank You mostly for Your Son, our LORD Jesus Christ.

LORD God we continue to pray that You comfort and restore all of Your people who have been devastated all over Your world. We have seen so many incidents as of late. LORD we also pray for those who suffer alone, in silence Father. Those who have no earthly person to help them but they have You LORD. Please let them know this LORD. Let them feel Your Holy Presence and give them strength to persevere.

LORD please send Your laborers to these people. Raise up Your Prayer Warriors and Your World Changers for  the glory of You LORD. Protect all of these Your people for all of their generations. We thank You in advance and pray this in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. Glory to God!

I was thinking about ‘The One’. I am writing to ‘The One’. That is the one person who is solely suffering silently. The one person who wails from the depths of their innermost being. Who mourns monumentally. The one who hurts horrendously. The one who cannot ever imagine relief from their dire distress and immense darkness. The one whose soul is tethered to hopelessness and helplessness.

But I am here to tell you from personal experience that their is hope, and there is help here today. I know because I was ‘The One’. This hope has a name and His Name is Jesus. This drastic distress and devastation will not last forever! Your mourning will give way to the magnificence of a meaningful life with Christ. Your suffering will succumb to the healing love that Jesus lavishes upon you.

Your pain, your shame, your isolation, your devastation, your grief, your brokenness, your sickness, your sadness was all paid for at the Cross of Calvary. Jesus took all of this upon Himself and set you free from your shackles of bondage. He said “it is finished!” and it was. Believe this, receive this. You can begin your new life of joy in Christ today, right now. Please allow God to set you free and restore your life. Call out to Him. He is waiting to hear from you as a Loving Father reaches out and longs to hear from His beloved children.

When I was the most broken that I have ever been in my life; I can remember sitting in my car in my driveway in the late, chilling, dark of the night and sobbing uncontrollably. I was crying out to God from the very depths of my soul and spirit. I felt in my spirit at that time that God was telling me that He would turn my mourning into joy and because I was sowing seeds in my sorrow; I would reap with songs of joy. I could not even fathom at that time that this could possibly happen. But, I am here to tell you; it did! Glory to God, He is faithful to His WORD to bring It to fruition. His TRUTH supersedes fact!

PSALM 126:5    THOSE WHO SOW WITH TEARS WILL REAP WITH SONGS OF JOY. (niv)

ISAIAH 61:3    TO APPOINT UNTO THEM THAT MOURN IN ZION, TO GIVE UNTO THEM BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING, THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS, THAT THEY MIGHT BE CALLED TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE PLANTING OF THE LORD, THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED. (kjv)

ISAIAH 61:7    INSTEAD OF YOUR SHAME YOU WILL RECEIVE A DOUBLE PORTION, AND INSTEAD OF DISGRACE YOU WILL REJOICE IN YOUR INHERITANCE. AND SO YOU WILL INHERIT A DOUBLE PORTION IN YOUR LAND, AND EVERLASTING JOY WILL BE YOURS. (niv)

ZECHARIAH 9:12    RETURN TO THE STRONGHOLD, YOU PRISONERS WITH HOPE! THIS DAY I DECLARE TO YOU THAT I WILL GRANT YOU DOUBLE REPARATION. (cjb)

JOHN 19:28-30    AFTER THIS, JESUS, KNOWING THAT ALL THINGS WERE NOW ACCOMPLISHED, THAT THE SCRIPTURE MIGHT BE FULFILLED, SAID “I THIRST!” NOW A VESSEL FULL OF SOUR WINE WAS SITTING THERE; AND THEY FILLED A SPONGE WITH SOUR WINE, PUT IT ON HYSSOP, AND PUT IT TO HIS MOUTH. SO WHEN JESUS HAD RECEIVED THE SOUR WINE, HE SAID”IT IS FINISHED!” AND BOWING HIS HEAD HE GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT.  (nkjv)

ISAIAH 53:5    HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES, THE CHASTISEMENT FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.    (nkjv)

Well I have to go for now. Until we get to talk again; I love you and will be praying for you. Most importantly, Jesus loves you. God bless you and keep His angels around you and all of your generations always.

 

Good morning my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I have been away spending some special alone time with the LORD. (Yes that means without Chihuahuas for a few days-I do miss them.) I wanted to write to you again before too many days pass.

Dear LORD God, Creator of the Universe, we come to You today with praise and worship for Who You are and Whose we are. As the lyrics state in the song: You are the Good Good Father that’s Who You are; and we are loved by You, that’s who we are. Thank You that You love us. You not only created us; You also want to do life with us. You are with us in the midst of any and all of the devastation that we face. You are a very Present Help in times of trouble.

Thank You that You loved us so much that You gave Your Only Beloved, Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die a horrendous death for us. So that we can choose Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior and live for eternity with You in Heaven. You know the gripping pain that we feel over the loss of our loved ones.  You were there to feel the pain of Your Son while He was being crucified on the cross for us.

LORD please protect all of these, Your children for all of their generations. Heal their hurts LORD. Cover them with Your Grace and Mercy. Let them feel Your Presence. Keep Your angels around them please LORD. LORD please restore and revive and heal Texas, Florida, California, Puerto Rico, Japan and every where else and all of the lives, communities, cities, states, and countries that have been devastated. We ask this in Jesus Name and we thank You in advance.

I had thought back to this one time in my life when I was feeling unappreciated at my place of employment no matter how much I gave and how hard I worked.  This caused me to experience very low self esteem.

I had noticed this opening for an alternate position at another place of employment. I thought that I could do this in addition to my current job. I thought this would be a great answer to prayer. I thought this would help build up my self esteem by doing a great job at this new place of employment and showing them how valuable I am.

I applied and got the job. I tried hard and learned what I needed to learn to be proficient during my orientation. I made myself available whenever they needed me to be. This company was a privately owned company.

Within a couple of months the owner told me that she would no longer need me. I was emotionally devastated. I had counted on this new job to help lift up my self esteem that my other job was destroying. Now I am not wanted. Again!

About a month later the owner said that she could use me again. (Emphasis on the words “use me”.) I felt a little better. There was a little glimmer of hope that my self esteem might improve now. They must have noticed that I have some worth. By now I sure didn’t feel like I did.

That quickly came and went. The owner once again said she no longer needed me. I didn’t even respond to her at that point. This was all too painful. I was crushed. I felt so disposable. I have actually felt pretty disposable much of my life.

I had been sharing what had happened to me with some Christian friends and asked them to pray for me. Then I was in a prayer meeting at church one night and I felt in my spirit that the LORD was clearly telling me that He did not want me to have that position. He knew, (of course He knew), that I wanted that position so that I could build up my oh so fractured self esteem.

The LORD told me that I am to have my hope in Him. I don’t need “self esteem”. It’s not at all about me in the first place. It is all about Jesus and He esteems me so highly that He sacrificed His Own Life for me and for you.

Once again, the LORD healed me from my hurt and He began a new process of greatly needed life long recovery. He has taught me that no matter what people do; He is always faithful. He can always be trusted. He is always the Answer to everything I ever need. He is Awesome. Glory to God!

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)

I CORINTHIANS 1:9   GOD IS FAITHFUL, BY WHOM YOU WERE CALLED INTO THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.   (nkjv)

LUKE 16:15    AND HE SAID TO THEM, “YOU ARE THOSE WHO JUSTIFY YOURSELVES IN THE SIGHT OF MEN, BUT GOD KNOWS YOUR HEARTS; FOR THAT WHICH IS HIGHLY ESTEEMED AMONG MEN IS DETESTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD”.   (nas)

Well I have to go for now. Until we talk again please remember that I love you all so very much and most importantly, Jesus loves you! God bless you all. I will always be praying for you.

Good Morning my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. Imagine that; I am writing 2 days in a row. Yay! I wanted to also mention; I have been able to wear shoes again now for the first time since my foot surgery. Yay again! God is so Good. Jehovah Rapha. The LORD our Healer.

Dear LORD, Thank You again for another day to be alive and come to You to praise and honor You. We worship You for Who You are LORD and not just for what You do. Although everything that You do is amazing! Please LORD bless all of Your devastated people Father. Let them know that You are with them and will never leave them nor forsake them. Protect them with Your angels LORD.

Please LORD send forth Your Christian soldiers to the hurting to help them and share Your love with them. Send those people who will be Your Heart and Hands here to help Your hurting people. Send me LORD to do whatever Your will is. Bless all of Your World Wide Family LORD for all of their generations. We thank You in advance LORD. In Jesus Precious Name. Amen. Glory to God!

I had a short story to share with you. I have a very beloved relative who was currently making some poor choices for their life. This is not who they are. This is not who they are going to be. I fervently pray and fast for them to turn around and surrender their lives to the LORD Who will change them for all eternity. (And they most definitely will in Jesus Name! This is a promise in God’s WORD!)

PROVERBS 22:6    TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO: AND WHEN HE IS OLD, HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.    (kjv)

This relative had gotten themselves in some trouble and the police had been called. We were all praying for him as soon as we found out. The officer had compassion and mercy on him because he is very young. He told him that he needed to change and stop trying to mess up his life.

We were ecstatic for this answer to our prayers. We were  also wondering if our family member would really appreciate this grace gift that he had received. Would this be a pivotal moment in his life to help him want to change his life? Did he need some consequences to keep him from making such poor choices. We were also praising God for this outcome. Of course the poor choices that we each make can affect us for the rest of our lives.

Much to our dismay; it wasn’t even 4 hours later that he made another poor choice for his life and was placed in jail. I wondered how he could have just squandered such a miraculous gift and second chance that he had been given 4 hours earlier. He received a full pardon and it was wasted.

Isn’t what we do with Jesus Christ? He died in our place to take our sins and give us His complete pardon. He redeems us and sets us free.  What do many of us do? We squander this most precious gift from our LORD.  We say we aren’t interested. We will run our lives the way we want to. We feel that we know what is best. (We really don’t!)

Now my loved one, who was just freed 4 hours earlier, is spending a long Holiday weekend in jail. The potential charges seem ominous. His life may now be adversely affected forever at such a young age. He had just recently resumed his college classes and was trying to make some positive changes.

We prayed and waited and he waited and hopefully prayed. I had gone to a small night time church gathering. We serve those who are currently homeless. As I pulled up the Pastor said he was glad that I was there because he needed to go and  purchase the food to feed them and asked if I could share God’s WORD with them. (Speak or preach a small sermon.)

1 PETER 3:15    BUT SANCTIFY THE LORD GOD IN YOUR HEARTS: AND BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN ANSWER TO EVERY MAN THAT ASKETH YOU A REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR. (kjv)

I spoke of “the storms in our lives.” We had just had the tragic storms in Texas and Florida and now our family was having a personal storm. I shared that our storms don’t have to ruin us and can actually make us stronger when we let the LORD lead our lives and help us through.

I shared some of the details of my current storm with my loved one and that I was praying and counting on God only. I shared that I did not know how this would turn out well but God was in control regardless and He knew and I trusted Him. I told the church gathering that I believed that I would have a testimony to share with them about this circumstance.

In the natural it seemed impossible. But we serve a Supernatural God! How could my loved one be set free now after he messed up again after just being set free. Would he spend a lot of time in jail, possibly years? When would the trial be? Would his young life be ruined? These were thoughts that tried to haunt my mind.

I had to fight off those thoughts by keeping my eyes focused on the LORD every moment of every one of those days that he was incarcerated.  I kept praying and fasting for my loved one. I spoke God’s WORD from His Bible of TRUTH that Supersedes fact.

Then all of a sudden one of those days. Our loved one called for a ride home. The charges had been dropped and he was free (again!!) I got my testimony! Praise the LORD so much! This time my loved one is making better choices. I think he is more appreciative. This time he had received consequences and grace.

He will make good decisions for his life. He belongs to Jesus. He was bought with a price; the Precious Blood of Jesus. There is hope for our loved ones. Stand in the gap for them.

Well I have to go for now. I love you all so very much and most importantly Jesus loves you. Until we talk again, God bless you and protect you all and all of your generations.

MATTHEW 21:22    AND ALL THINGS, WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING, YE SHALL RECEIVE. (kjv)

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18    WHILE WE LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: FOR THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; BUT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL.

ROMANS 4:17    ….AND CALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE.  (pp)

 

 

Hello my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. It has been awhile since we last spoke. I must admit it was because I got a bit discouraged. I noticed that the poem that I had written on my last post  was very incorrect in format even though I had very carefully typed it and it looked like it was correct before I pushed post.

I guess this has something to do with not being able to re-adjust the original way that this program is  formatted and perhaps the ‘wrap around formation’. Please remember I have not been very computer literate in the past; although I am working diligently on increasing my skills. I only put my confidence in the fact that the Holy Spirit led me to write this blog and taught me how.  I have a lot to learn. Pray for me.

I then  started to feel that I don’t really have much to offer other people even though it is my deepest heart’s desire to help others find their hope and help in Jesus Christ like I did and always do continually. I want for all of you to know that He alone can fulfill all of your needs all of the time if you allow Him to.

Then I remembered the Christian saying; (sorry I don’t know where it originated.) “When you don’t know what to do next for the LORD, do the last thing that He told you to do.” So here it goes. I am back attempting to write inspirational thoughts to you.

My only purpose in doing so is to bring the LORD glory, pleasure and for precious souls to be saved for all eternity. I pray for you all fervently and always. I always want to share God’s WORD, the Bible with you because He uses this to change lives. This is His TRUTH that Supercedes fact. The most relevant Book for all times and all generations, for all eternity.

ISAIAH 55:11    SO IS MY WORD THAT GOES FORTH FROM MY MOUTH: IT WILL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID, BUT IT WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I DESIRE AND ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH I SENT IT.

Dear LORD God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, We come to You today to give You Praise and to Worship You. We do this LORD in-spite of the tragedies that are occurring more and more frequently all around us. LORD God please bless those who have now lost family members in Las Vegas and continue to bless and  restore lives and cities in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Los Angeles area and every where that devastation has hit LORD.

LORD we count on You Father. Keep Your angels around us and all of our generations. LORD there are oh so many who suffer every day that we don’t even hear about. Those who are being persecuted and killed for their faith and belief in You Jesus. Protect them LORD, give them strength to persevere Father. We love You and praise You. We trust You and give You our lives. Lead us to fulfill the destiny and purpose that You created us for. We are not here by accident.

Teach us to help others LORD. Show us how to give of our prosperity to all of these people in dire need. Help us all to be generous LORD and teach our future generations to be generous and to love all others regardless of race or culture, status or religion. If we were generous there would be no poverty. LORD bless those who never have food to eat nor clean water. Use us to send them resources and to go to them as Missionaries.

Thank You to all of You who have been helping hurting people in other countries for years  and for a  life time. LORD bless and protect Your “First Responders” of every type of service; Military, Police, Firemen, Paramedics, Christian Organizations. We love You and Praise You LORD. In Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s Precious Name we pray and thank You in advance. Glory to God!

I have to go for now. I really just wanted to write this because I felt that if I didn’t write something now, I might not want to write again. We of course have a very real enemy of our souls-the devil and he does everything he can to discourage us and keep us from doing God’s work to help others.

I love you all so very much and most importantly Jesus loves you. I feel more inspired myself now that I have written. I will write again soon. Until we speak again; God bless you all and all of your generations.
