Month: September 2022

Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. It is great to be able to talk with you all. When I write about topics, or when I speak to people one on one or in public settings, and share God’s WORD, it is because God has been helping me and therefore I want to help anyone that I can. I want to be used by God to bring Him Glory and to help His people whenever possible. We are all in this life together. We are all the Human Race. Let’s all love one another, share and be kind and helpful whenever we have an opportunity.

God always teaches me to either deal with an issue, have more understanding about a topic, a better grasp of a situation, more love for His people or more wisdom from His WORD the Bible. It is never as if I have mastered anything. I am God’s student each and every day, and moment by moment while I am in this Journey called Life. This is called the Sanctification process for those of us who have given our lives to Jesus. The Holy Spirit leads and guides us.

When I share something, I am talking to myself as well as to you. I am attempting to build myself up in the Ways of the LORD as well as you. When I share about the LORD, I am very careful to try and represent Him the way He wants to be represented and to share His WORD of TRUTH. The TRUTH that Supersedes fact. I do have opinions like we all do but I like to focus on the LORD. If I do share an opinion I will mention that it is just my opinion. Of course I am human and fallible. The Holy Spirit will teach and exhort me when I am wrong.

Dear LORD God Almighty, thank You that we have You to come to in prayer. Thank You for Who You are and Whose we are. Thank You for giving Your Only Beloved, Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die a horrendous death to take away the penalty of our sins even though He was without sin. We can never thank You enough. Thank You Jesus for dying for us so those of us who accept You as LORD and Savior can spend eternity with You as well as this life right now. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit our Comforter Who does this life with us. Who teaches us, guides us, gives us wisdom, comforts us, and leads us to Jesus.

Please LORD remove our scales and blinders from our eyes. Help us to clearly see our need to repent for our sins and our need for You as our Savior. Please send Revival and Regeneration. Please protect Your children for all generations. Place Your Hedge of Protection around us and keep Your angels around us. Lead us to fulfill the destiny and purpose that You have created each one of us for. We thank You in advance. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen.

Sometimes I think about the fact that I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and have been prescribed medication. My life has changed. Depression has caused some changes, and changes that I have gone through in life have caused the depression. I take a low dose antidepressant and I tried to stop taking it to see if I would be OK without it.

I have worked in the Mental Health field and with Psychiatric patients. We tell them not to stop taking their medication just because they feel better because the reason they feel better is because of the desired effects of the medication. So knowing this, what did I do? I stopped taking my medication. It was the strangest thing. I could not stop crying. If I didn’t have anything serious to cry about, I would cry while watching commercials.

I have studied medications, effects, side effects, patients, diagnoses, but I had never read that a medication could literally stop someone from crying. It got so ridiculous with me crying all the time that I quickly started taking my medication again and guess what? I stopped crying all the time. I was amazed.

We all have imperfections, problems, situations, sin in our lives, and some of us have sickness, either physical or mental. We can still choose how we will deal with our own issues. Even if they have changed our lives or our lifestyles. We can make the Decision to Not live a Defeated life! How do we do this?

For me, I need to pray to my Heavenly Father all the time because when I am weak then I am strong. He never leaves me nor forsakes me. I need to stay in His WORD the Bible. I read it daily, I love it. I watch Preachers on TV, YouTube, listen to them on podcasts, listen to the audio Bible, go to Church, and read books by Christian authors. I do my best to defeat depression. Until God completely heals me, depression will not destroy me. I will continue to do His Good Work.

Here are a few examples of Powerful Preachers: Francis Chan, Jack Hibbs, Jonathan Cahn, Beckett Cook, Priscilla Shier, Isaiah Salvador. Those who are deceased but their powerful preaching message continues on: Charles Spurgeon, Smith Wigglesworth, CS Lewis. All of these are Awesome and there are many more. Be careful though, there are deceivers out there, those who speak half truths, who preach a weak, powerless Jesus who is not the Jesus of the Bible. That is why you have to know God’s WORD for yourselves.

Remember Jesus is Pure Love. He is also the Righteous Judge. Read in the Book of Revelations how Jesus will be when He returns. Please do not think that it is OK to simply call yourself a Christian and continue in your sin. Becoming a True Christ follower will include the Fruit of the Spirit. Your life will change in the LORD. Jesus loves you too much to leave you in your sin. He changes you from the inside out. He changes your heart. I can definitely speak from experience.

GALATIANS 5:22-23 But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

My oikos/sphere of influence/family, friends may have changed a lot and gotten significantly smaller, but I can still reach out and do my part right where I am. I can be loving, kind and supportive. I can help when help is needed and always pray for them. I can also reach out to the whole world with finances and prayer.

2 CORINTHIANS 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (nkjv)

DEUTERONOMY 31:8 It is the LORD Who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (esv)

ROMANS 3:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD.

1 JOHN 1:8-9 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the Truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He, (God), is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Well, I need to go for now. Until we get to speak again, Please remember that I love you and am praying for you and all of your generations. Most importantly, Jesus loves you.

Hello my Most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all. I am so happy to be writing and talking to you again, (and so soon). This year of 2022 is really flying by isn’t it? God tells us in His WORD the Bible that our lives here on earth are just a vapor. After our lives here end, then begins Eternity. Are you ready? Are you preparing for eternity?

JAMES 4:14 WHEREAS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN VANISHES AWAY. (nkjv)

Dear LORD God Almighty thank You for giving us Your ‘Manual for Life’, Your Holy Spirit Inspired Bible. Whenever we don’t have the answers or feel depleted, discouraged, depressed or despondent; we can come to You in prayer and we can read Your WORD for answers and guidance.

Please open our hearts, minds, souls and spirits to hear from You and Your WORD. Call us unto Yourself, show us Your purpose and destiny that You created us to fulfill while we are here on this earth. We desire to bring You Glory, Honor and Precious Souls.

Please bless and protect everyone of Your people and all of their generations. Keep Your angels around us and give us Your Wisdom and Your Perfect Love and Peace from Jehovah Shalom. Thank You in advance LORD. In Jesus’ Precious Name. Amen.

I was glancing through the comments for this blog. I noticed that out of almost 500 comments, they seemed to all be from some types of robots. (Except maybe 2 comments.) I could only imagine that if my identity was wrapped up in social media and obtaining likes and followers; I would be quite devastated and maybe even become depressed.

When I started writing this blog years ago, I wrote a statement of disclaimer. I said that I was only writing this because I felt the LORD wanted me to. The Holy Spirit taught me how to set it up by leading me to various sites which had directions on how to formulate a blog. I stated that I would not be able to answer any comments because this blog is only to bring Glory to God and to write what I pray about and feel that God wants me to write. Even if it helps one person to get saved and begin a relationship with God the Father, The LORD Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit= the ONE Triune God, it is worth it.

Fortunately my identity is not dependent upon social media nor any person or people groups for that matter. My identity is found solely in Jesus Christ. His WORD tells me who I am and Whose I am. I belong to Him. I freely gave my life, my will, my freedom of choice that He gave to me; all back to Him to do with as He pleases.

It wasn’t always like this. I spent many of my teenage years and my twenties pretty much only caring about what others thought about me and living however I pleased. I also spent those years being the worst sinner that I knew. Not only outward sins like doing drugs, cussing like there was no tomorrow, becoming pregnant while single by a man whom I didn’t know was married, and being promiscuous, but also sins of my heart and attitude.

ROMANS 6:6 FOR WE KNOW THAT OUR OLD SELF WAS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM SO THAT THE BODY RULED BY SIN MIGHT BE DONE AWAY WITH, THAT WE SHOULD NO LONGER BE SLAVES TO SIN.

GENESIS !:27 SO GOD CREATED MANKIND IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED THEM; MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20 DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR BODIES ARE TEMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS IN YOU, WHOM YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD? YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN, YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. THEREFORE HONOR GOD WITH YOUR BODIES.

Jesus has truly set me free. This change in my life wasn’t a once in my lifetime thing either. It is a daily change, a daily choice to live more and more like Jesus Christ. I am daily being changed, sanctified, transformed and set apart from living with the desires of this fallen world and to align my desires with Christs’. I am so unbelievably grateful. I am a new creation.

I am able to grow immensely in maturity in the LORD. I am able to get to know Him more and more as I read His WORD and pray daily. (Pray all through the day some days, just to keep my mind and emotions in check.) I can think with His Mind and Love with His Heart. I have Him to turn to when I am sad or weak or going through yet another tragedy or loss.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:16 ….BUT WE UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS, FOR WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. nlt

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.

I truly am free to live for an audience of ONE. The ONE and ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY. There is nothing like life with the LORD. Wont you try it?

Until we get to talk again, please remember I love you and am praying for you all and all of your generations. Most importantly, Jesus loves you!

Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I am so glad to be writing to you all around the world. I Truly Love You. I want to tell you the TRUTH. Will you please listen? Jesus tells us in His Holy Book the Bible that He is the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life and no one comes to the Father, (God) except through Him. Will You please believe Him when He tells you the Truth?

Dear LORD God Almighty our Heavenly Father and Creator, we come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior by the Power of the Holy Spirit. You are the One Triune God. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We come to You with thanksgiving for Who You are and Whose we are. We belong to You. We love, praise and worship You. Please teach us to love one another.

Please prepare our hearts, minds, souls and spirits to hear, truly hear Your WORD, obey Your Will and live our lives Your Way. Please LORD be with all of Your people who are broken hearted and devastated by tragic loss and death. Those in Ukraine, Uvalde, China, the Middle East, throughout the United States and Your entire world where there have been senseless attacks, hatreds, prejudices, persecutions and killings. Holy Spirit please comfort all of the loved ones who are left here to grieve. Surround them with your angels. Draw us to You.

Please protect Your innocent children everywhere LORD. Keep Your angels around them. Lead them and guide them. Keep them from being bullied, abused, molested, neglected, sex trafficked. Let them truly enjoy the innocence of their youth, the way You planned life for Your children.

We repent of our sins LORD as individuals and collectively as nations of Your world. Call us to Yourself in a mighty way. Make Yourself known to us. Fill us with Your Perfect Love so we can bestow this love upon others. Upon our families, neighbors, strangers and enemies in the manner that You instruct us to love. Bring us to repentance, revival, and regeneration. Call us to accept Your Son Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior. We thank You in advance. We ask this in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

JESUS SAID TO HIM,” I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME,” JOHN 14:6 (nkjv)

If I did not love you, I would not care whether what you believe is true or not true. If I cared more about myself and my own comfort level than your eternal salvation; I would not risk being disliked or being called insulting names just because I told you the TRUTH. People risk jobs, incomes, platforms, being ostracized and hated by family and friends and strangers. I care more about where you are going to spend your eternity than I care about my comfort. The choices are Heaven or hell. We each make the choice during our lifetimes by ourselves. We also will each stand alone before Almighty God to give account of our lives when we leave this earth. What will be your choice?

This is why I so urgently want you to choose to live your lives here and now with Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior, following and obeying His directions for life found in His Bible. There is no greater, more fulfilling way to spend this life. I truly know this. I was caught up in all matter of sin before I became a Christian.

We need to all repent for our sins. We all sin, every one of us. There seems to be such a stigma about the words repent and turn from your sin and follow Christ Jesus. There shouldn’t be. If you hurt a loved ones feelings because you were insensitive or you hurt anyone in anyway, you would (hopefully) say that you are sorry. Wouldn’t you even more want to apologize/repent to our Creator, our Heavenly Father Who cares for us and provides everything for us? He never leaves us nor forsakes us. People leave and betray us all the time.

We hear a lot about ‘freedom of choice’ now days. We act as if we as human beings came up with this right. We did not. God our Creator is the One Who gave us freedom of choice. He did not create us to be robots. He gave us the capacity to give and receive love from God and from other humans. He gave us a full gamut of human emotions. He gave us the power to choose. Our choices have consequences both while we are alive during this life’s journey and the moment we die the choices we have made have consequences for the rest of our eternity.

ROMANS 3:23-26 FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN JESUS CHRIST, WHOM GOD SET FORTH AS A PROPITIATION BY HIS BLOOD THROUGH FAITH TO DEMONSTRATE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, BECAUSE IN HIS FORBEARANCE GOD HAD PASSED OVER THE SINS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY COMMITTED TO DEMONSTRATE AT THE PRESENT TIME HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT HE MIGHT BE JUST AND THE JUSTIFIER OF THE ONE WHO HAS FAITH IN JESUS.

Jesus Christ was tortured and crucified on the Cross for OUR sins. He had no sin. He arose on the third day and sits at the Right Hand of God the Father interceding for us. He is Alive! We serve a Living God. No other religion or world view can make this claim. Their leaders are dead. The Bible is Alive and the most relevant Book for ALL generations. I challenge you to read It. You will see. Start in the Book of John in the New Testament.

Throughout history, Christians, true Christ followers, have made the decision to tell the world the TRUTH about Jesus Christ, regardless of the cost. From the time of the first century church, multitudes have been persecuted, martyred, imprisoned, hated, tortured and lost loved ones just because they LOVED others enough to tell them the TRUTH. We want to follow the example of Christ and be obedient to His WORD the Bible.

JOHN 15:13,14 GREATER LOVE HAS NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. YOU ARE MY FRIENDS IF YOU DO WHATSOEVER I COMMAND YOU. (spoken by Jesus) (nkjv)

Until we get to talk again please remember that I love you and I am praying for all of you and all of your generations. Most importantly, Jesus loves you.
