Thoughts About New Years Resolutions

Good morning world wide family! It is so awesome to start my day wishing you all well and praying for you to have a really great, blessed and peaceful day today. I pray that you have been enjoying your New Year thus far and will continue to grow in the purpose and destiny that the Lord created you to fulfill and that you continue to grow in your personal, intimate relationship with the Lord, the Creator of the Universe and our Heavenly Father.

We can call our God  Abba Adonai because these are 2 of His Names. Abba=Father and Adonai means Lord and Master. The Holy Spirit taught me that when God was asked in the Old Testament what they should say His Name was; He told them to say His Name is “I AM.”  We can add to this His other Names because He is the fulfillment of everything that we need every time we need anything.

Let me give you an example: If I was feeling sick I would call upon God as Jehovah Rapha because He is the Lord my Healer, and Great Physician=I AM Jehovah Rapha. When I have a need for provision I refer to God as Jehovah Jireh because He is the Lord my Provider=I AM Jehovah Jireh. When I need peace in my life I would refer to Him as Jehovah Shalom because He is The Lord my Peace=I AM Jehovah Shalom. When I need direction in my life I refer to Him as Jehovah Roi because He is the Lord my Shepherd=I AM Jehovah Roi.

I thought this revelation was so very awesome. There is power in His Name. There is power, healing and help in calling upon the Name of Jesus. There are so many other Names of God. I can share them in the future. When we don’t know what else to do or say we can simply call on the Name of the Lord. He hears us and He will answer us. He is a Mighty God. The Only True and Living God.

PROVERBS 18:10….”The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower. The righteous man/(woman), runs into it and is safe.”  Amen! What an awesome scripture.

I just briefly wanted to mention New Year’s Resolutions. This is of course only my personal opinion. I think it is so great to make new and inspirational goals for ourselves. And a great time to do this is always the beginning of every New Year. We should always aspire to grow and challenge ourselves. Stretching ourselves beyond our comfort zone.

We should definitely always be learning and growing in the Lord. The Bible says God takes us from glory to glory. The Holy Spirit is our Teacher, our Paraklete. The Bible- the Holy Word of God is our instruction book for life.

However when we do not reach our goals or fall short of our resolutions we should never ever give up. When we fall we must always get back up. We do not have to do this in our own strength. In fact God totally wants us to depend on Him for everything. He is our Heavenly Father-Abba. He loves it when we call on Him. He created us with a need for Him. In our hearts is a “God-shaped void”. Only He can fill this; not another person, not education, prestige, a great job, material possessions, degrees and certificates. Only God can fill our every need. Let’s let Him this New Year 2016!

As I mentioned before, lately when I write to you I experience technical difficulties. This makes me think that I am writing what I should be, what the Lord wants me to and the devil, the enemy of our souls does not want this TRUTH to be known so I must publish this now because this entire letter just went off the page and I had to retrieve it. (In the natural, I am not that computer experienced.)

God bless you all, world. You are always in my prayers. I love you.

 

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR WORLD! MAY YOU PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS! …3 JOHN 1:2

Hello in ‘2016’ my world wide family. It is so awesome to be able to greet you all first thing this morning in this new year! I love you all! Most importantly Jesus loves you all!

I pray that we all partake in this upcoming year filled with JOY from the LORD Who is our STRENGTH,  and the PEACE that passes understanding from JEHOVAH SHALOM. I pray for all of the PROVISION that we need throughout the world and that those who are greatly financially blessed will have a desire in their hearts to help those who are less fortunate. I pray that God exceedingly abundantly blesses those who already extend themselves to others. I pray that we all put our trust in OUR PROVIDER,  JEHOVAH JIREH. And please let us all forget our past and move forward. Lets learn from our mistakes and glean wisdom. I pray this all in Jesus Name and thank You Lord.

NEHEMIAH 8:10 …Nehemiah said to them, ” go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This day is Holy to the Lord. Do not be grieved, for the JOY OF THE LORD is your STRENGTH.” 

PHILIPPIANS 4:4… And the PEACE of GOD, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in CHRIST JESUS.

PHILIPPIANS 4:19…And my GOD will meet all of your needs according to HIS RICHES in glory in CHRIST JESUS.

EPHESIANS 3:20…Now to Him Who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power  that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen!

I wanted to share that during this most blessed season of Christmas that we just celebrated, I noticed a lot of dissention. I witnessed strife between spouses and children that were sad because of the relationship of their parents. I noticed people who were so stressed and distressed over this Christmas holiday time. And I heard of many that were actually suicidal.

You know for those of you who are not already aware; if you really knew how God brought His Only Son into this world for us it would amaze you. Jesus totally entered this world into what we would consider undesirable circumstances to say the least. He left His glorious throne in Heaven and God His Father, to come here to earth to be born with the purpose of living as our example and then dying a tortuous death for our sins, and arising from death and returning to live in Heaven so we can live with Him for all eternity in Heaven

I will be sharing this story with you in some detail in my next letter to you. I would do it now but I have been having some technical difficulties with this page of mine/ours, and I need to see if this letter that I have just written to you will even post. I wrote a letter to you during Christmas and only the title posted, the rest was blank. (Go figure! Has anyone ever read the “Screw Tape Letters” letters by C.S. Lewis? Awesome book! It describes some unusual activities.)

Until next time God bless you all and protect you with His angels!  I love you.

 

Have you heard this saying; “The WORD works if you work it.”

Good evening my world wide family.  As usual it is so awesome to be speaking to all of you. I pray that you are all well and protected by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ because He is our Strong Tower, our Refuge and very present help in time of trouble. I pray that He is meeting all of your needs and the needs of your families because He is Jehovah Jireh our Provider. I pray that you are walking in Divine health and being healed because of the Ultimate Physician Jehovah Rapha and being led moment by moment by our Good Shepherd Jehovah Roi. I ask that the God Who created the entire universe and everyone and everything in it by speaking His Word, keeps His angels around you and gives you peace from Jehovah Shalom. I speak His peace into the atmosphere. I ask this all in the Mighty Name of Jesus and I thank You Lord.

Well the CHRISTmas season is upon us. I hope that we are not getting stressed and spending too much money. It is so awesome to be able to have a special time to share gifts and special meals and celebrate  with our families and loved ones and beloved friends and co-workers.

Please remember that God our Father was the Ultimate Gifter. He gave His Only Beloved Begotten Son, Jesus to die for us so we can choose Him and  live with Him for eternity. This is the true meaning of Christmas. And this salvation is free and yet it is priceless. The price has already been paid and it didn’t cost us anything; but it cost Jesus everything.

The Bible says this: John 1:1-3…”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him and without Him was not anything made that was made.”

Then the Bible goes on to say in John 1:14…”And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

I love those verses! It shows how truly powerful God’s WORD is. His Word was/is His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. And God left us His Word the Bible to guide us daily in every way. And Jesus left us His Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in His WORD. And when we speak forth His Word we are BELIEVING and having FAITH in His Word that His Word is TRUTH and what we speak in agreement with our Heavenly Father will come into fruition to bring Him glory! That is so awesome!

And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. (ROMANS 10:17). The Lord said to me, “you have seen well for I am watching over my Word to perform it.”( JEREMIAH 1:12)   The Lord says He has exalted His Word above His Name. (PSALM 138:2).  God says “So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth and It shall not return to Me void but It shall accomplish that which I please and prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (ISAIAH 55:11) 

The saying that I mentioned at the beginning of this was “The Word works if you work It”. Let’s work God’s Word. Let’s speak His Word forth into the atmosphere. Let’s agree with the Truth that we find in His Holy Word. We don’t have to be swayed to and fro by ever changing circumstances. His Word is the answer. His Word supercedes time. His Word brings protection for our generations, health, provision, prosperity so we can be a blessing to others and God gets all of the glory. It is all about Him and His Word/Jesus.

I pray for all of you to be richly blessed as you explore God’s Word, the Bible for yourselves. God bless you always. I love you. Good night for now.

 

 

Let us STAND UP for JESUS in love all Christian soldiers!… I begin with me.

Hello again my wonderful worldwide family. I love you all so much with the love of Jesus Christ my Lord. I pray for you all that you are living and abiding and finding your peace, strength, protection, healing, love, and wisdom for living in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that you are filled with His Holy Spirit and protected by His angels wherever you may be. I pray this in Jesus Name. I thank You and praise You Lord. Glory!!

Today I want to share my own personal feelings about a couple of things. I am so touched by the current very powerful story of a hero that gave his life to save a co-worker in the San Bernadino, California terroristic shooting that just recently occurred. Powerful! What an awesome hero. Thank you HERO! I pray for all of the family and co-workers of this hero. Every time I think of this story  since I heard of it yesterday, I cry.

The co-worker that he saved said he held her so tightly to protect her from the bullets and she remembered the 3 words he said “I got you”. She lived and is recovering because of this hero. Praise God! He sacrificed his life.

You know the Lord has “got us”, everyone of us. The enemy of our souls would have us think that everything is dark now days and great evil is taking over. I proclaim that this could not be further from the truth. Jesus is Lord, He is the TRUTH. He lives today and Reigns. He conquered death and evil, satan and his demonic forces. He conquered terrorism that kills and destroys and humanism that allows the murder of unborn children, and poor laws to be made that over turned our votes. He conquered all of this and more at the Cross of Calvary over 2000 years. He is the Hero of all heroes! He sacrificed His life for all of us, while we were yet sinners. We are called to follow His example in love and prayer.

He calls us to be his warriors in love, in the power of His grace and mercy. He calls us to stand up for Christ and our fellow man. He calls us to stand in the gap between the living and the dead. To intercede for others, for the world. To be prayer warriors.  He gave us dominion here on this earth. Let us walk in this dominion to represent our Lord, and bring Him precious souls. We are here living now in this generation for such a time as this. Let’s be heroes, let’s invest our lives in the lives of others.

I’m sorry to break the news to you but  our heroes are not those that play sports even though they are very gifted by God. They are not those actresses and actors that can act extremely well because of their gift from God. They are not the physically beautiful models that are blessed with their beauty from God. Our strength gets weaker, we get older, we may not be able to memorize our scripts as easily,  our physical beauty fades. The Bible said that it is what we do for Christ that lasts.

Our heroes are those that STAND UP for the Lord. That put their lives on the line for what they believe in and  purposefully do the will of God. To speak out for those who do not have voices to speak.

I want to say thank you and pray for all of our heroes here on this earth. The First Responders, the Police, the Firemen/women, the Paramedics, all of the soldiers of all of the branches of the military here in the United States of America, the Doctors and the Nurses and all of you/us who are willing to STAND UP AND REPRESENT regardless of the cost and sacrifice. (You know who you are. It is in you, you were born to be a hero.) I pray that you will all come into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ so that after all of the sacrifices that you always make for others here on earth,  we can all spend eternity together in Heaven.

I am so very proud of another story I just heard on the news. I believe it involved 2 politicians of some office. (Sorry I’m not exactly sure of their office.) But they were in controversy about the public lighting of a “CHRISTmas tree” in a public ceremony. The lady politician said she was offended and did not want it to be referred to as the CHRISTmas tree lighting and wanted it to be called a tree lighting.

The gentleman politician STOOD UP and said he was offended by the idea of not calling it a CHRISTmas tree lighting. It was decided that it was called the CHRISTmas tree lighting. Praise God for Victories big and small! I believe they further stated that the lady politician did not attend the ceremony and even resigned??  Really??? To resign over this??

We need to STAND UP! We need to keep God and Jesus Christ in our country, our schools, our families, our CHRISTmas. Actually that sounds really backwards….We need to acknowledge that it is because of the One and Only True  God Who created Heaven an earth and everything and everyone in it by simply “speaking us into creation and forming us from the dust of the earth.” It’s all about Him. I pray that we all recognize this while we still have the chance because we will all die one day. We do not know when that day will be and we need to be ready before the day of Christ’s Judgment. God Bless us everyone.

JOHN 15:13…(Jesus says)…” Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for his friends.”

Update…

Hi family.  That was really strange. I just wrote a long message to you all and more than half of it was just deleted. That is why the message I just published looks strange. Sorry. I don’t know what happened. God Bless you all!

Merry Christmas and Joy to the World because of Christ Jesus our Savior Who was born, died for us all and LIVES now and forever!

Hello my World Wide family and blessings and glad tidings of great joy to you all wherever you are in the world.

ISAIAH 9:6..”For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 

 

JOHN 12:32…(JESUS SAID):” AND WHEN I AM LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME.”

 

I would like to take a moment to say a prayer for all of the victims and survivors of the recent shooting in San Bernadino California. God be with you all and bring you peace and comfort. Our hearts and prayers are with you.

Until we talk again, I pray that none of us stress during this holiday season over materialistic wishes and that we don’t over spend and go into debt. I pray that we are all thankful to our Lord for our families, health, our many blessings and the chance to make lasting memories as we gather together. I pray that we don’t forget the less fortunate but instead we bless them also. And mostly I pray that we worship and are thankful to Jesus Christ, the Christ in Christmas. I pray in Jesus Name, Amen.

 

Push through to Victory! …P. U. S. H….Pray Until Something Happens! Prayer changes things.

Hi world wide family!  I pray that you all are well and safe, prosperous and blessed, joyous and in peace, saved and sanctified and protected by the Lord Jesus Christ and His army of angels, the Heavenly host. I pray that you are basking in your personal relationship with the One and Only God Who created the entire universe and yet desires to spend every moment with YOU personally. I pray this in Jesus Name and thank You Lord…..Life doesn’t get any better than this!

For clarification ultimate prosperity to me means having a personal relationship with the Lord. Of course I know that Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider does provide all of our needs and He also blesses us exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or imagine as He says in His Word. But to me He is my blessing. I have had excessive material wealth and intermediate wealth and times in life with no material wealth.  I now live a simple life with the Lord and feel like I am wealthier than ever!

See, I can write more frequently now that I am having a break from Bible College. I am going to try to write to you as the Lord puts ideas in my heart  because time is of the essence and I am here at such a time as this to bring my Lord glory and precious souls, so I need to be busy about my Father’s business.

It is my heart’s desire that anything that I share may help anyone that may need help at the time that they happen to read one of my blogs. When this does happen, you need to know that it is not just a coincidence that you read the blog at that time. As the saying goes; there are no coincidences with God. He directs our paths.  [ This includes our internet paths : ) ]    He is Jehovah Roi-the Lord our Shepherd.

If I ever make any mistakes such as quoting a Scripture incorrectly or anything else; please forgive in advance.  (I am so not perfect of course.) Also know that the Holy Spirit will bring it to my attention and when He does I will publicly apologize to all of you and make a correction.

However if I ever share anything that is from the Lord and it is Truth and it brings conviction which would then lead to transformation; that would actually be desired.  The Lord has called us to be ‘Peace Makers’, not ‘Peace Keepers’. He has called us to obey Him and be transformed by the renewing of our minds and not be conformed to this world…… This is such a great way to live!

ROMANS 12:2..” And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

I had some thoughts from the Lord today that I wanted to share with you. What we go through in this life is for the purpose of allowing us to be a shining light of HOPE to others who will go through the same thing.

*  We arise from pain to praise through perseverance, prevailing and pushing through using God’s principles for living.

*  We arise from brokenness to blessings through believing the Bible and belonging to the Lord.

*  We arise from weariness and waxing and waning to winning through worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

*  We arise from being a victim to VICTORY through valiantly and victoriously overcoming as we heed  His voice.

JOHN 10:27..” My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”      … (He knows me, He knows you. Please hear His voice and follow Him.)

If you are going through something painful in your life right now you are not alone, the Lord is always with you and the pain will not last forever. You will survive, revive and then thrive.

PSALM 30:5..”For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night but joy comes with the morning!

If you have hit rock bottom; remember you can only go UP from here. If you have made some bad choices, we all have. It’s what you do now that matters.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13..” No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, He will also provide the way of escape, that you may endure it.”        (Let’s be wise and take the way of escape He provides.)

In the future I will share some personal testimonies of a life time of the Lord saving me from myself and circumstances and other people and restoring me and using me to bring Him glory. It is all about Him!

Until we talk again, I pray that the Lord blesses you and keeps you and makes His face shine upon you and is gracious to you and the Lord turns His face toward you and gives you peace.  ( prayer from Numbers 6:24-26)  Peace from Jehovah Shalom.

Our Lord is good all of the time, and greatly to be Praised! He is our mighty Leader and we are mighty in Him.

Hello my world wide family! I have missed talking to you-a lot! I just finished taking my final in Bible College. Yeah! I will have more time to talk to you and share the Lord with you. I really do miss my studies when we have a break from Bible College. But I will be doing my own personal studies and reading awesome Christian books in the interim as the Lord leads me.

My heart and prayers go out to the survivors and the victims of the terrorist attacks in Paris. May God Himself heal your hearts and give you strength. May He encamp His angels around you to protect you and lead you personally to Himself. Jehovah Rapha-the Lord our Healer is the only complete answer at such a time as this. I ask this in Jesus Name and thank You Lord in advance.

Where evil abounds, Grace much more abounds. This evil that is running rampant today has no chance of winning. The battle has already been won by Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary. We as Christians  are fully equipped in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. There is no greater power. Rise up Christians all over the world! Pray!

EPHESIANS 1:21…”Now He is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else, not only in this world but also in the world to come.

COLOSSIANS 2:15…”And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them by the Cross.”

2 CORINTHIANS 10:34…”For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”

EPHESIANS 6:10-13    “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground; And after you have done everything to stand-(STAND!)” (emphasis mine) ……

In another blog I will tell you what the full armor of God consists of, for those of you who don’t already know. This is found in Ephesians 6:14-18. Feel free to look it up in the meantime. We should “suit up in our armor daily!”

God bless you all and all of your generations always with every blessing. The primary blessing being to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, Magistrate of magistrates and One and Only Great Potentate. I love you. Even most importantly Jesus Loves You and is with you always even until the end of the world. Lean on Him, count on Him, give your strife, pain and needs to Him. He will provide. Jehovah Jireh-the Lord our Provider!

Talk to you all again soon!

 

Sometimes it’s just the “Little Things” that are really ‘Big Things’ that give us just enough joy or hope to make it through another day victoriously.

Hello my World Wide Family.  I pray that you are all well and living out the destiny and purpose that God created you for. I pray that you are all enjoying Divine health and healing and that you prosper in every way as your soul prospers. I pray that you are living every moment joyously and to the fullest; loving the Lord, loving your spouses and children, loving your neighbors, loving your jobs, homes and communities. Even loving your enemies like Jesus told us to do. I pray that we follow Jesus’ example and love in the manner in which He taught us to love. I pray for all of the victims of the recent earthquake and hurricane. I thank You Lord for hearing my prayer and I pray this in  Jesus Name. Amen.

It is interesting and sad to me that when these disasters occur and they are televised on the news; we hardly ever get to see the huge disaster relief responses of all of the awesome Christian organizations.  Thank you to everyone of you who always respond. I would hope that we could consider making donations to these organizations so they can continue their powerful work for the Lord. Thank you also to all of you missionaries who live in these places and take them the Gospel of Jesus Christ and help them to rebuild their lives, hopes and dreams. This life that we spend here on earth is so very brief compared to the eternity of our lives that we will spend after we take our last breath here. Are we all prepared for eternity? There are only 2 possible destinations, Heaven or hell.

John 14:6   Jesus said to him,” I am the Way , the Truth , and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 14:23, 24  Jesus answered him, ” If anyone loves me, he will keep My Word, and My Father will love him and We will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. And the Word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s Who sent Me. “

 

 

Well I had been trying to get this cover for my car for quite awhile. The sales person told me to keep checking back with him and when one became available he would give it to me. I was really tired after working one day but I felt like I should stop by the shop. I really didn’t want to but I thought; what if it is the Lord letting me know that a cover is now finally available. So I went.

I spoke to the sales person and he said he didn’t have one yet but to keep checking. That was ok, I wasn’t discouraged.  I thought, it must not have been the Lord after all and started driving off. Just as I reversed my car to drive off, the sales person was opening my door and said “here I just found one, I don’t know whose it was but it’s yours.” …………Praise God so much!

In the scheme of life, that was a little thing. It was a big thing to me and I am very grateful. And even more important than that is to know that the Lord, the Creator of the whole universe and everyone and everything in it; cared enough to let me know that I should go to that shop on that day at that time and I would get my  cover. We serve an awesome God!

Psalm37:4  Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Well it’s late now and I’ve got to go. I love you all and even more importantly Jesus loves you all. God bless you and keep His angels around you every moment of your lives.
