Living For the First Time!

4 weeks ago today, I began a new journey with God that I wanted to share with all of you!

I was down, in pain, hardly able to move, and so depressed beyond what is normal, I just wanted to die.  There were reasons for it, but the people  that were causing me to feel that way were being controlled by the devil who would love nothing more than to keep me down and useless and unable to be used by God!  His demons were holding me back in my thought process.  The devil was keeping me captive in my fear, dread and agoraphobia to the point where I was refusing to leave my house! 

And then God stepped in!  He began to reveal Himself in a way that I've never known before.  He showed me that I had a choice to make.  I could either continue to just lay there and die, or I could get up and  do something about how I felt and move on with Him instead of this nothingness inside of me that was literally eating me alive!   God reached down, pulled me up out of my pig pen full of mud and whispered in my ear that He isn't finished with me yet and He needed me to come Home so He can accomplish what He has had planned for me all along!  Since the foundation of the World, God has had a plan for me!  (See Ephesians 1:4).

I am a New Creature in Christ Jesus!  Yeah, I know, how many times have I thought/said that, but I've never truly LIVED IT HOW HE SAID TO!  How about you?  Can you identify with that statement as a Christian?  I am a "bond servant" (See Romans 1:1), and I am called by God to live the life He would have lived!  It really isn't that hard to do for me because I have had His hand on me my whole life!  And SO HAVE YOU!  YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE IT YET!  

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears."  (See 1 Corinthians 13:4-10).

Just never give up.  Never give in, and above all check what you're hearing in your head against what God says about you in His word!  You'll be able to dispel those lies that the devil sends into your head all day long in no time!  Just have the faith of a little mustard seed and watch God grow you!  (See Luke 17:6). 

So stand strong in your faith in God for He loves you very much and so do I!  Lord, please bless those who read this, and if they don't know you Lord, help them to take a leap of faith and ask you to forgive them for their sins and to come into their heart and indwell them with your Holy Spirit so they can live life to the full!  (John 10:10).  In Jesus name, Amen!

Love Will Restore The Shining City on The Hill

"If we ever forget we are One Nation Under God, we will be a Nation gone under!"  Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th President of The United States of America.

Right now, more than ever in our life times, things are happening around us that are not just hard to understand, they are frighteningly similar to things some of us have been hearing all of our lives in Church.

There is a tension amongst certain groups of people that is really scary but totally describes what the bible says in Matthew 24 when Jesus said, "you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom."  We have had "nation against nation," in the 1st and 2nd World Wars, but I also know that Nation means "race," in the Greek, so the racial tension we are seeing is part of the "birth pangs," Jesus is talking about!  And what about the weather we've seen?  That should really give you all a clue!

But this racial tension, this class warfare with Occupy Wall Street where people have been raped, and now we have a murder on our hands out of the protest, along with millions of dollars in damage done by smashing windows, etc., and just plain ole behaving badly!  Some of those kids just want to WORK!  I don't want to say all of them are bad, because I know how hard it is for young people to get a job right now!  

We have racial tension, we have class warfare/division with so many out of work, and so many having more than we do.  It's hard not to be jealous but we must not covet what other people have!  It's a commandment, "Thou shalt not covet," is what it says!  

We are watching people be stricken, assaulted, raped, maimed even murdered in the Occupy movement, a young man named Trayvon killed in some sort of scuffle with an over zealous neighorhood watchman, two white reporters from the Virginian Pilot, sitting at a traffic light minding their own business when their car is surrounded by 30 black men who attacked them and then let's not forget the 19 yr old white teenager, who was just walking along minding his own business who was attacked by 2-3 young black men "for Trayvon," they said as they were beating him.  He was in the hospital in critical condition!  Some of these stories were not covered by the media and it was shocking that they weren't! 

It seems as though our country is caught up in a sort of unspoken civil war.  People with different political views, etc., clashing, not getting along, and of course those who are wealthy being demonized because they worked hard?  I've never heard of such a thing!  They may have more money, but how do you think we invented the middle class?  It's those companies that employ the middle class and give them the opportunity to do better in their lives, which most middle class people like me are happy with, because we know that without our bosses we wouldn't have a job.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH US AMERICA?  DO WE NOT SEE THAT THE HOUR IS LATE HERE?  Jesus said, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."  (John 13:34).

Honestly?  I am very frightened by some of this tension we see happening in our streets.  Greece is withdrawing money at an astounding rate, and they say they are not going to be able to keep up with it!  It's a run on the banks in Greece!  As of Friday they were hoping for some sort of help from Germany, but Greece's wealthiest people are leaving the country for more business friendly waters to save the money the government would no doubt try to punitively confiscate from them if they do stay!  (Sound familiar? Think Nazi Germany?) 

Remember to "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.” (Deuteronomy 31:16).

Lord  give us the strength to admit we need Your help, and that Your divine providence is the only thing that can help our Nation now.  Help us to pray, teach others with patience, love others with even more patience, being Fishers of Men, and help us to always remember to pray for REVIVAL Lord!  That with the Help of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can once again be the "Shining City on the Hill as Ronald Reagan dreamed we would always be.

The sun hasn't gone down quite yet America!  Return to your faith!  Return to God!  He is calling your name!  Don't you hear Him yet?

   
Love will Restore the Shining City on the Hill!
 

What Does Love See?

I was abused in every way imaginable from the time I was little until I was kicked out of the house, and then I continued the abuse by abusing myself!  The memories of all that are very painful to dredge up, so I finally let my past go!  When my mother, the one who tormented me all my life,  died a few years ago, a lot of that pain died with her, because the Lord in His infinite mercy, told me she was His and that I would see her again some day.  I think God did that because He knew that I would torment myself wondering if I had witnessed to her enough, and I would worry whether she had made it into heaven or not.  She apparently did make peace with the Lord and asked Him for forgiveness so she could go Home and I am grateful to God for that!

I remember, I had just gotten off the phone with her the Thursday morning before she passed, and I remember hanging up the phone and  thinking out loud "Oh geesh Mom, you're going to leave us on JFK's anniversary!"  Then the guilt hit, "What will her friends think of me that her own daughter didn't come to see her before she died," even though she kept telling me she didn't want me there, and it was at that moment of torment and guilt that the Lord wrapped his arms around me with a peace that "surpasses all understanding"  (Philippians 4:7), and I audibly heard in my head, "It's okay.  She's mine."  My Mother Beverly Jean passed away on November 22nd, 2009.  She passed on the very day I had said she would.  The anniversary of JFK's assassination.  Pretty weird huh?  That's how I know it WAS God!

At the funeral the pastor, who didn't really know any of us, told a story about a black water beetle, and how when it dies, the shell opens and releases a bunch of beautiful dragon flies into the air.   At the graveside service, the pastor had us praying and like a good Christian girl, I bowed my head and closed my eyes, but my mom's heathen but very lovable friends didn't and they were all treated to the sight of a beautiful dragonfly floating over the beautiful red roses that draped her casket, right in front of her picture!  It just sort of stayed there for the prayer and then floated away again and it was gone before I saw it, but I didn't need to!  I had about 50 people telling me all about it at my Mom's house at the reception!

Now folks, that is GOD!  That is how He works!  He showed all of my mother's fallen away friends that HE IS GOD AND THAT HE IS REAL!   I came out of that experience understanding in my heart that all the things that she believed about me that were so wrong, were cleared up when the Angels came to escort her to Heaven!  When she died, she INSTANTANEOUSLY KNEW THE TRUTH ABOUT ME!

Do I think I was loved?  I do now more than I ever have.  I know now with a full heart how much my parents did love me, do love me and always will love me.  You see, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."  (John 10:10), so don't let Satan and his minions keep you down like he was doing to me!  I needed to let the past go and get out of my own head! 

I now know what God see's when He sees me!  I have let go of the past and am now moving forward to the grace and glory of Jesus Christ that awaits me!  For "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,   let us throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."  (Hebrews 12:1).  

Jesus thank you for putting the pieces of my life back together, and I pray for all who read this, that they will see your love in a whole new way Lord!  God bless all who read this!  Let them Renew their strength, let them Mount up with Wings like Eagles, Let them Run Lord and not grow weary, Let them Walk and not grow faint! (Isaiah 40:31).

He's Changing Me from the Inside Out

Are you on a road that is destructive?  Are you walking in Faith?  Are you alone?  Are you scared?  Are you covered in the blood of our Savior Jesus or are you a lamb whose gone astray?  A Pearl of Great Price was paid for your redemption and most of you have heard the Gospel, the story of Jesus, but what have you done with your knowledge of Him?

Have you relegated Him to the shelf of history or is He a real friend, guide and helper, someone you think of as a very intimate friend?  Is your relationship with Him uncertain?  Is it cold?  You know full well he will spit out those of us who are neither hot nor cold?  

Is Jesus really REAL to you like He is to me?  It can be very difficult trying to understand and comprehend the ways of God.  But I will tell you something.  He is changing me in every way possible, and my life is overflowing with joy right now like I have never felt in my life!   Just 4 weeks ago, I wanted to DIE!  

I want you to experience the same kind of joy that I am experiencing!  I want you to experience the forgiveness and healing power of Christ!  I want to share my Jesus with you!  He wants to meet you where you are, and He accepts you as you are.  He loves you, for He made you to be the person you are going to become through the power of His Holy Spirit that will dwell within you! 

Please accept the gift of Salvation through Jesus?  It is a free gift, all you have to do is tell Jesus you accept His gift, that you know He died for your sins, and that you wish to be forgiven and live for Him!  He's always right by your side, so when you call upon Him, He will be there! 

Ask Him to forgive you for your sins so you can come home with the rest of us when the time comes?  He is at the door....He is so close and I can feel His presence almost every moment of the day now!  I am having an amazing, totally awestruck, breath taking journey from this life to the next and I just can't wait to meet my Jesus!

I hope you are blessed by this post and if you need someone to pray with you, or for your situation, please don't hesitate to call?  1-888-359-5439.  I hope you are having a good evening and that you are blessed with family around you and love in your lives. 

 God Bless!
