Jesus is Still the Same

2012-01-21T14:31:00.004-05:00

What has changed about our Lord Jesus? Nothing. Do we expect Him to act the same or do the same things as He did in His ministry here? Has He lost any power or has the Holy Spirit left Him?
Isaiah 61
1THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] [a]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Jesus accepted the scroll of Isaiah at
the place where it was written,(Luke 4:18-22)
18The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],

19To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day [l]when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.
20Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing [attentively] at Him.

21And He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture has been fulfilled [m]while you are present and hearing.

22And all spoke well of Him and marveled at the words of grace that came forth from His mouth;

2 Peter 3:8
Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
TIMELESS..

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).

Did the Spirit of the Lord ever leave Jesus? NO
Has He ever changed? NO
How long is a year with God? TIMELESS
Therefore Jesus is still healing, delivering and telling the poor that He is still there for them. Hallelujah !!!

We are poor in many ways especially in spirit and soul and in body.

What is in a Name?

2011-11-12T12:12:00.000-05:00

For instance in Muskoka here we use the name of Norman Bethune to attract visitors worldwide. His name as a surgeon who helped folks in wars gives Canada a nice taste in the mouth of global citizens who are christian and communist.
He did not live to a ripe old age but what he accomplished on earth was amazing. As a pastor's son he knew about Jesus who also lived a short life here but impacted the entire world.
What is in a name seems to carry a lot of clout here and about. Hopefully the positive outweighs the negative. I wonder about using my last married name or sticking to my maiden name if I am to be famous. Perhaps only my first and second names should be known then the buck will stop here with me instead of going on through the families.
We hope to have a great and wonderful effect on this old world that lasts for eternity. How this comes about only our Lord knows and daily brings it into being. A name of reknown takes a lifetime to build and may only become famous after our death. The nice thing about it is the ties that bind other folks together because of who we are or were.
I guess that the main thing is the main thing after all. Be who we are and be all we can be. Leave the rest to destiny and fate that is resting in the hands of the Lord Jesus.

Feeling Like I do not Belong

2011-07-14T16:52:00.003-04:00

Have you ever continued through years of your life feeling like your

not in the right place even though you were born there? How about

in your marriage after 40 years or your family after 63 years?

Feeling truly unwanted, uncared for and intolerated seems to be the

normal in some people. No matter how often you are included in the

happenings of the day a deep down core level voice says ' they

include you because they have to as you are family, a blood

relative.'

Does every interest you have seem out of place in the house where

you dwell? Are your beliefs beyond the grasp of others or lesser in

their expressed ways? How often do you feel overcome with grief

because unwelcome seems stamped on the doors even in your own

family.

What does God feel in me? Is it the same for Him or am I sensing

how I act towards Him? Do God and I have enough in common to

get along well in our relationship? What is it Lord? Why is this not

going away after forever.

According to your Word, the Holy Bible we are not permanent here

on earth and we do cohabit with ones not of the same mindset. We

are just passing through into eternity not looking at this world as

our home after all. Is this thought so deeply embedded in us that

we cannot feel content even with our fleshly brothers and sisters.

Is that why we find friends that mean more to us than our own kin?

Is that how come we enjoy like minded people? Temporary versus

eternal and permanent. The head is not the tail nor the eye the ear.

We need to always search for another the same. We need to feel

connected, close, clonish. A soulmate , a kindred spirit, one heart,

one mind, one body.

Is that what You want God? To be one with me and I with You? Let

it be dear Lord, let it be. Cause me to be molded into You, to be a

part of Yourself , to be interested in the same things and people

that You are into. Help me to fit into You and adopt Your ways.

Make me over anew and baptize me into loving others as You do.

Your love appreciates variety and enjoys differences, colors, shapes,

sizes, textures, sounds. What an incredible feeling that must be.

Adoption can be very uncomfortable and hard to live in. Is that why

You comfort us Holy Spirit? We need to feel a part of God and His

family before we can function as one with all. All for one and one

for all sounds great and must feel wondrous.

What do you do When?

2011-06-18T12:58:00.001-04:00

We are told from our youngest days that Daddy will take care of our troubles. Daddy will fix it and Mommy will make it better with a hug and a kiss. Eat this and you will feel good again or watch this movie or read this book and your troubles will pass, we are advised as we age. In our oldest stages we hear things like it is okay, just another bump in the road.

There has to be something more original, more secure, more in keeping with who we are. There is surely a better way to handle our many trials, tribulations and unwarranted attacks on our persons. Life has to have a positive for every negative. Every natural has to have a supernatural too.

I have found that if I am overwhelmed by a sister's cancer, a mother's invalid state, a daughter's divorce, grandchildren's dilemmas, dying cousins my own age, dying friends of days gone by and daily news reports of wars and natural disasters that are happening all together in one time slot, I must have help. I must know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me.

It turns out there is a light to focus on and the name of the light is Jesus Christ. If I follow His leading I will come out of all of this in good condition. If I try to work it all out I will go insane and my body will get sick onto death. So I choose to follow and live myself.

Jesus has a Daddy, Father God who He is willing to share and He will ask Daddy God to not only fix things but kiss us all better.
If we love Him He will work all things for our good. I do love Him and expect Him to bring good out of all this calamity.

This is called faith and it is activated by calling on the Lord God Almighty of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob, our modern day Israel. Why suffer alone and lose the battles of life when we can have Father God the great Jehovah lifting us up out of despair and holding us close to His heart?

Jesus walks on water with us and calms the storms.Jesus Christ is the way and we can stick to Him getting where we need to be at precisely the right time. In chaos Jesus tells us to focus on Him and see that our hope is in God alone.His other names are Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.
Jesus is all of these and more than enough for every human being on the earth and in Heaven.Call on Him, follow Him and rise above every circumstance imaginable.

Publishing His News

2010-12-22T20:26:00.000-05:00

I do not know much of anything about the publishing business or being published. The little I have experienced goes from one extreme to another. I can spend a small fortune or get it done free of charge. Free of charge gets you no publicity but word of mouth which is still a good thing. Some advertising is low key but is it reaching the audience you desire the most?
I wrote an e-book with great fervor of soul and published it on free ebooks.com. I also wanted to publish it in hard cover for the computer illiterate crowd as it contained vital information for all. That is a very costly venture that I intend to do one day not for the gain or the fame but to include all peoples in the e-books warning of eternal dooms.
Woe is me if I stay quiet about the Lord's information concerning souls that do not heed His will,way and plan. I have been told that what the Lord orders the Lord pays for. Does that mean that I put it on my credit card and He will get the money to me before payment is due?Does faith require me to start production believing that it will be a best seller and the cost will be covered.

Jesus IS Coming anytime now.

2010-09-15T14:13:00.003-04:00

At the last trump His appearance is expected. The dead in Christ shall rise and us who are waiting and watching for His appearing will be gathered up to meet our Lord Jesus in the air. How about Friday(eastern time) at that last trump in Israel? Are we ready? Do you have other plans for that day?

Will the sweet Holy Spirit urge us that morning to spend the day with Him? Will Father God speak rapture into our souls at that particular moment? Will we seemingly know for sure with a deep,deep certainty that the time of our redemption is now?
Will we be occupied with heavenly things and endeavors? Is there an ingathering happening in our families that we are not aware of?

What dreams and visions are the prophets in our time seeing? Is there any indications on the horizon? Has the Lord spoken into our hearts of His returning for us? Listen to His heart. What are you hearing? There is an excitement growing in me to expect Him..

Stuff happens to draw folks to certain places at certain times for certain happenings.
Recently all but 2 of my children and their children have literally moved in to our home. What is being said here Lord? Each day that we get closer to that last trump in Israel I get more elated with the possibility.

So I say `Come quickly Lord Jesus.'

God Hates

2010-05-27T13:46:00.001-04:00

( Prov.6)

16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

Deut.12

30Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

Psalms 11
5The Lord tests and proves the [unyieldingly] righteous, but His soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence.

Levitcus 7
18And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination,
and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

Deuteronomy 17:1
Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 18
9When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

13Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

14For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Worry, Stress and Fear Conditions

2010-05-05T12:35:00.003-04:00

Worry, Stress and Fear Conditions

Recently the Lord God Almighty through His wonderful Holy Spirit alerted me about this very thing in my life. A lack of trust in the Lord was the cause with doubt of what the Lord says feeding it. I was alarmed that I had fallen into this hole of despair where darkness surrounded me and the only light was when I looked up to Jesus my savior and deliverer.
I called out to Him in repentance for losing my God focus and listening to the rantings of lies that cause me to lose sight of His great faithfulness. How could I, a seasoned veteran of the Jesus movement be so careless and allow the spirit of stupid to take over?
Worry is my enemy that slips into my mind and soul to overwhelm me with businesses that are not mine. To pray is to release our cares thus helping others bear their burdens to the Lord. We are not to hang onto them and maul them over and over trying to figure ways and means to get people out of their predicaments. That is God's business.
Stress is a result of worry to the max and blows us up like a balloon. It shows up in our bodies as sickness and pain. It shows off in our minds, our souls as messed up thoughts. It shows in our spirits as a weakening force. Only God can help us to restore.
Fear is the reality of what we have accepted as normal, as human. Fear will cripple, maim, and paralyze and terrorize our bodies, souls and spirits. The torment of fear is unparalleled. Anxiety feeds on fear. Stress absorbs fear like a sponge and fear multiplies and grows more fear.
In a dream the Lord showed me how that because of fear of bats I have been a hindrance to my husband's blessing of others. He has a wonderful ministry of helps that is so needed in our wicked world and my allowing fear to operate in my thoughts and emotions gets in his way and kicks in at the worst times.
Bats have never harmed me or anyone else that I know. They have been very good for our environment in eating mosquitoes and moths and other flying things that can do us bad. Sometimes they have gotten into an area where I am living and startled me . I am sure the fear in them of me was greater than the fear in me of them.
My heart will attest to the damage that fear can do and my muscles that tense up painfully scream at me to smarten up. My adrenal glands have been so overworked by my fight or flight modes that serious overload has caused them to be exhausted.
Jesus teaches the way of peace . He is the very prince of peace.
What is my problem? Forgetting whose child I am and not giving everything up to God including any fear or dread that are unfounded as being of the Lord, my creator.
Worry, stress and fear are not for the child of God. Trust means t-total, r-resting,u-under, s-severe,t-testing. We can do all this through Christ who strengthens us.

Be Baptized Now

2010-01-30T10:39:00.004-05:00

Last night I had a very restless sleep.An urgency in my spirit would not allow full rest. It seems that Jesus our Savior is indeed on His way to earth to catch away those waiting and watching for Him. Being born again is great but there must be a following into baptism by immersion signifying the Lord's death and burial and coming up out of the water as in His resurrection.

How many, many born again of the spirit ones have not went forward to be dunked in obedience to Christ? If it were not important surely Jesus would not have required it of us. Where do we get off making the rules? The message I received in that night was to tell others to take action and be baptized as I had already done many years ago as a teen.In Matthew's gospel chapter 28 our Lord Jesus gave plain instructions.
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

All things like loving others as yourself after loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. We can only love our enemies with His presence in us as He is love.
Where can we be baptized? Any pool of water or tank or muddy river is fine. I myself was guided under the water in a little lake in my hometown as were my four children twenty years later. When can we be baptized? As soon as possible is the best time and apparently sooner than soon now.(urgent command)Who can do the baptisms? Those who have themselves been baptized and who are wise in winning souls to Jesus the Christ.Who can be baptized in water by immersion? Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God is called to be baptized as is illustrated by Philip and the treasurer of Queen Candace.Acts 8:26
And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians,who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer,so opened he not his mouth:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,and preached unto him Jesus.36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water:and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

So I urgently cry out to everyone to get ready for the coming of Jesus by obeying His will,way and plan for His church. Be baptized in the name (presence) of the Father God, the Son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit. Amen

Calling All the Hatherley Tribe

2009-06-15T11:40:00.002-04:00

According to John's revelation he saw us before the throne of God at the feet of Jesus the lamb of God, His Son. Jesus the Christ was slain to redeem us to God. So I am calling all of the Hatherleys back to the God of their forefathers who loves us all dearly. Our forefathers, our grand parents loved and served God the Father, Jehovah, God the Son, Jesus and His Holy Spirit.

The Lord remembers those who preached the gospel and those who interceeded for them. Our God has not forgotten the horse riders who went from town to town to encourage all men to turn to Jesus. Today He is saying to the now living Hatherleys, 'come back'. Come back to God the Father through his Son Jesus by way of His Holy Spirit's empowering.

The Heavenly Father draws us to Jesus, who saves us by His death and resurrection and fills us with His Holy Spirit. Let yourselves be drawn to Jesus. Let yourselves be saved and set free. Allow the Lord Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit. He will enable you to love God and yourself as well as others. He will empower you to forgive all others as well as yourself.

He says that without Him (Jesus) we cannot do it. With Him we can do all that He says we can do. Come !!! As surely as you are a Hatherley and belong to this tribe, you are also a christian's grandchild. Follow in your grand parents footsteps that lead you to Jesus' feet then into His strong carpenter's arms of love, mercy and grace. Hurry home to where you belong. Do not procrastinate. The call is for now. The message is clear. Listen !!!

Home is in the hearts of those who truly love you. The Father's heart, Jesus' heart and the Holy Spirit's heart. Leave me a comment with your name and place in the family. Make a now decision if you do not know Jesus as your Savior yet.
He says 'call upon Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know.'

ONE AND ONLY ONE GOD

2009-04-20T13:41:00.004-04:00

One and Only One God
Have you ever wondered how simple life could be if there was only
one God? Considering how many, many opinionated voices there
are in this life wouldn't it be awesome to you to know that there is
only one you must heed to enjoy life here and now?
When I read a portion of script written for me by the Lord of Glory
through a prophet man named Isaiah over two thousand years ago,
I marveled. It was such an incredible truth that I dearly needed to
know for sure and for certain.Being tired, overwhelmed and confused is not what I call real
living. Having to follow directions just to be told further down the
road that 'no that was misdirection' is so time consuming and
frustrating. The truth you know absolutely sets you free to get on
with your journey in this life and the life to come. So here is that 'yes, this is the way,walk in it'. In Isaiah 44:6-9 in the Holy Bible (Amplified)
6Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and
his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the First and I am the Last;
besides Me there is no God.(B)
7Who is like Me? Let him [stand and] proclaim it, declare it, and
set [his proofs] in order before Me, since I made and established
the people of antiquity. [Who has announced from of old] the things
that are coming? Then let them declare yet future things.
8Fear not, nor be afraid [in the coming violent upheavals]; have
I not told it to you from of old and declared it? And you are My
witnesses! Is there a God besides Me? There is no [other] Rock; I
know not any.
9All who make graven idols are confusion, chaos, and
worthlessness. Their objects (idols) in which they delight do not
profit them, and their own witnesses (worshipers) do not see or
know, so that they are put to shame.

In Isaiah 44 in this particular portion I delight to accept His word on
it that I need not fear or be afraid of offending any other God as
they are man made. There will be no God Wars coming or any other
judges over us. He is our sole provider and the only one to whom
we must give account of the deeds we do.
In our day when there are so many divorces and remarriages our
children know firstand what it is like to have to answer to more
parents, step parents, and live in boyfriends and girlfriends as well
as grandparents and step grandparents, not to mention all the older
step siblings and aunts, uncles cousins etc.. These kids are deeply
impacted and their lives are too complicated for them to handle.

I have seven grandchildren who are heavily under these
circumstances with no let up. Life is not simple to them.Their hearts
have been broken at a young age. Their dreams are shattered and
hopelessness fills them at times.Multiple marriages open the children up to more abuses, more
confusions, and more spoiling on special occasions when one parent
tries to outdo the other part time parent. They are torn between
families and bosses. Their futures call to them to escape, run away,
find a place of peace.
So it is when one has way too many gods to please or appease.
That constant feeling of being watched by gods all around them
leaves them feeling very uptight and nervous. Some choose to
believe that there is no God. That is their escape.
I thank God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost that this wonderful
news has reached me and can touch your life too with a knowing
we can trust and rely on one true and living God. What a relief for
all mankind!

Two Unforgiving and Condemned Men

2009-03-04T14:25:00.003-05:00

Segment One
In a dream Oct.23,2007 I witnessed two men meet on a street divider and two shots rang out as one. They are both dead leaving many unanswered questions.
You can write a story about it is the impression I get. I am so terrified my heart is racing and strongly horrified. The Holy Bible reads in Ecclesiastes 8:8 There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, neither has he power in the day of death; and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
These two men find themselves unable to kill one another truly. They had thought death was the end but found that they simply popped out of their old bodies and were still fully aware. Two worlds were now before their eyes, mine and their new one.
Scrambling for the guns that they had used to disengage their old life from the new one they discovered that their hands went through anything from their old existence. The people that gathered only gazed at their old dead bodies and were totally unaware of their souls' presence.
Suddenly a bunch of people showed up from the new existence and started prodding them and calling their names. They were mean men and women and were also unseen by the present world.
Unable to get away from the new ones they were pushed and pulled, pinched and kicked, hit and scratched into submission. They were taken out of the past living and out into the country down into a dark shaft in the ground.
Deeper and deeper they were dragged into darkness, dampness and heat. Death was no longer a concern but this new existence was inescapable. The place of the wicked dead, they were told was a culmination of every evil thing and deed.
They would have all of eternity to experience every horror and to know every form of torture. No food, no drink, no family, no clothing, no light with no escape.
Regret encompassed their thoughts. If only filled their minds. Unknown future clamped down on their hearts like a secure vice. The realization that they were in hell and it could only get worse ripped them apart and held them in a depressed state.
They could only wish now to be mentally gone, to not remember the good times on earth and the teachings of Heaven. But the truth haunted them constantly and all hope was gone of ever seeing anything good again.
The torture continues. Time is no more. There is no schedule, no end to pain and suffering and the next unknown happening. No seeing anymore, groping around in the darkness, always trying to find their way out but only encountering strange creatures and insects that bite and chew on them and scream loudly.
Other souls there were experiencing the same ordeal and taunting voice reminded them of their future full of starvation, thirst, horrific odors and sounds. "This is your eternity" is yelled out and "this was your choice".
Accusations were many like. "You chose to not forgive your fellowman so you cannnot be forgiven. You chose to live by violence so you shall be violently treated. You chose to do your evil deeds in the dark so you shall have darkness forever. You chose to not share and help others so you will not be helped or have anything. You chose to hate so you will never be loved again. You did not answer kindly when others cried so your cries will go unanswered too. You deceived others and you have been deceived. You reap what you sowed forever.
Segment Two
Destitute forever in an unseen existence, sometimes so alone but never at peace; only loneliness so deep it was unutterable, a huge void.
The memories of family and friends and all loved ones makes it more unbearable as the possibilty of them coming to this place without them or each other, separated always and eternally is too much.
Pain wracked nerves and emotional wounding goes on and on and on. No music, no singing, no television or games. No agreement about anything. Total inharmonious circumstances with no let up, no breaks, no addiction relief. Gaping flesh wounds, flu symptoms, fevers, chills, boils, cancers, heart attacks, strokes with every conceivable and unconceivable evil with full awareness. No comfort, no pain medicine, no drugs to help you forget, itching deepest itching.
Wrong choices bring wrong outcomes. Snakes, spiders, scorpions,fleas,lice, ticks in abundance. Flying things, creeping things, crawling things. The expectation of cruelty and torture never leave them.
Over time the fading memories of anything good get further and further apart and only bring regrets and deep soul searching of remorse. Hatred overcomes them in each session of remembering. Self hatred for the ungodly choices, hatred for every person who led them to make ungodly decisions, hatred for all that was good because it is out of reach now and for always ,eternally.
Sexual desire is gone completely. No pleasant memories of any sexual encounter exists here. Tears flow incessantly. No numbness can even break the pain level. Excruciating body pain and emotional pain. Pain! Pain! Pain! Rejection! Rejection! Rejection!
Hotter than an oven, burning flesh,stenchy, and smoky causing coughing and spasms. They know every form of pain, every form of suffering. This is not a nightmare. It is real and it is not going away.
Dehydration, utter weakness, sore throats from screaming. No mercy, no love, no grace, no pardon, just sentence upon sentence. Slander, accusations, lies, deceptions, teasing, taunting, no peace, no joy, no happiness. No answers to any questions. No books, no movies, no buildings, no light, no bed, no chair, no pillow, no grass, no trees, no sky, only a cave-like,thick,stenchy space filled with horrors.
Someone and someone else have no hope, no life, no sense of time anymore. Their misery far exceeds anything they had known on the earth. They feel exhausted, weak, sickly, unable to move. Who, what, when, where, when and how are useless words without any knowledge. News is not. Whatever is at any given moment is all there is. Time is not.
Their names do not matter anymore. Their accomplishments in their former lives mean nothing. Hell is real. That is all that matters now and forever. There is nothing else and no one else to blame it on. They know that they are getting what they chose and forever is forever after all.
Excuses don't hold any weight. Reasoning is no more. Rights, attitudes, opinions don't exist. Any thought of God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit result in their dropping to their knees and confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord. Every thought of God = knees and confession.
Can a man get used to these conditions knowing that death has already been experienced and this is the judgment? NO, there is no getting used to any thing for them.
There is no stopping any force of evil here. There is no end to the reaping, no cancelling the harvest of ungodliness here. They are doomed, damned, and desecrated. They feel everything and can't stop it. They cannot help themselves or each other.
Every chance to prove themselves worthy to escape the judgment and Hell is gone,long gone. Their short lives are ended and their forever deaths are just beginning even after six thousand years.
Segment Three
These two men's families move on as they say on earth, back into life and living. New people, new wives or girlfriends, new fathers for their children. All of their belongings would go to others or the garbage. No turning back time.
No becoming a new and better person counted worthy to escape hell and being so-o-o-o lost. All is lost even their soul as the Bible warned. Weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth it said would be the sounds and emotions of the place of the forever damned. Now they are experiencing it first hand from their own mouths and hearts. No tender touches just absolute degradation.
Why would anyone choose this place? There is no logical answer. How long is forever? No one knows as it has not been experienced yet nor ever will be. Unending song! They chose their own forever, forever.
Rumors abound but they are all lies, deceptions, false hopes, cruel misconceptions. Not even knowing anything for sure or for certain because the Bible is not available here is a torture to their souls.
The two unforgiving men can issue no warnings to those on the earth. No communication is possible with the outside world. Woe, woe and more woe is inevitable. These forever bodies will not cremate fully, will not decay fully and will never die fully.
There are no tools, no utensils, nothing to make anything or work with their hands or minds. Nothingness and still more nothingness except for the promised pain and misery.
Everyone here has fibromyalgia, or cancer growths, worms, arthritis, heart disease, strokes, aids, leprosy, disfigurements, and or mangled parts.
What in Hell did they want? The menu is horrifying. The scenery is blackness unending. Breathing in smoke always with not a drop to drink.
Why did they choose hell? There are definite rules and regulations and every conceivable judgment and sentence served. There are no 'rock stars' starring. There are no 'idols' being idolized. They are all in intense misery, intense strife. There is no mail, no messages, no phone calls, no birthdays, no holidays, no Christmas, No Easter, no anniversaries, no calendars, no clocks, and no pin points for marking anything on anything.
Who goes to Hell? Who belongs there? How do you choose that place? Unbelievers in Christ, disobedient to God, unforgivers, haters of their fellowman, sinners unrepentant, ignorers of God and His laws of doing right, and anyone who does not know the greatest Judge of all the earth,Jesus.
To know Jesus in an intimate and loving way is to obey Him and follow after Him in loving Father God Jehovah and His Holy Spirit.
Rejected by God and given over to destruction never to be rebuilt, never to know anything positive. Held captive, enslaved by torturers, no thoughts of breaking free to do the right things.
Totally lost in blackness and blindness, their senses offended by evil sounds,smells and tastes of sulphur, always awake, forever insomnia envelops them.
Truth reigns here. Every lie is proven to be just that, lies. No one is this place can unjustify their being put here. Their knowledge of the present time is truth and the possibility of blaming someone else for anything is gone.
Part 2 Segment One
Understanding their plight is too clear and inescapable. All hope is lost. The future only promises more of the same unthinkable horrors.
Echoes of past sermons about loving God and loving your fellowman fill this abyss. Love your neighbor as yourself resounds clearly, It is too late for them. They will not ever know love for themselves or their neighbors or God. Hatred abounds!
To know truth and yet be unable to embrace it is a wickedness that grieves their souls. To finally see the light in such an unseen place adds more grief and sorrow.
To feel such rejection, utter and complete is unbearable. To know that death will not, cannot take you out again and it is not an escape or remedy after fearing death in your former life is such a wound to their souls.
Nothingness would seem a good thing except that it is followed by extreme, horrific actions in hell. Temptations do not exist in this location. There are no choices to be made, no decisions to even consider. It is all so final, so etched in stone, so undoable.
All thoughts are a dead end. Who could have imagined any of these not happenings? Life had been so free for them. Everyday had been so alive with choices. No going back No returning. No time travel, only certain judgment.
The one glimpse of Heaven will be at the judgment seat of Christ. Seeing Him in all of His glory and riches and honor will be the last look at real life. That time will cause even a deeper and darker emotion for eternity. To hear Jesus Christ say 'depart from Me, I never knew you' will scream in their spirits and remain with them eternally. To be thrust out of His sight by the angels that adore Him will cover these men with shame maximized by the truth that love, true love is refusing the entrance into Heaven, the place of bliss.
The lake of fire that burns forever now waits for them to be judged, sentenced and thrown in with death, hell and the grave. False prophets, teachers, evangelists, preachers and hypocrites will all have the same fate. No exemptions. No playing favorites by the Lord or angels. It is so over, so done, so finished, so unalterable.
No one ever gets comfortable. Pain increases steadily with no fainting, no comas, no opting out. The spider webs of confusion are gone. Clarity is too good and finds no way out, Words are useless and nonfunctional. They have no more authority, no more say or vote in anything. They cannot prevent their family nor friends from coming to this hell hole. Every chance at making a difference in anyone's destination is gone for all eternity.
Starkness of mind is so not a good thing when you want to forget or lose consciousness or feel numb. How long is forever and eternity? How intense can it get ?
Segment 2
Some people have visited Hell with Jesus and were allowed to return to tell the world to repent and be baptized in Jesus. Still there are those that refuse to believe and receive Christ Jesus. Others believe and receive but give up because they are not willing to forgive their fellowman for atrocities done them. Jesus said that we must forgive to be forgiven. There is no unforgiveness allowed in Heaven among us.
God help us to forgive and let God take care of every little or huge matter. Vengeance is His and He will repay each and every evil. Nothing or no one can escape His judgments.
They had thought that dead was like totally extinct, not another thought, word ,nor deed ,nor feeling. Death was supposed to be the sleep beyond sleep into nothingness, no eternity, no awareness of anything or anyone anymore with no memories,no dreams, and no nightmares. How wrong they both are. How very,very wrong. Hell is the negative side and Heaven the positive.
Daily or is it nightly or is it both there are new arrivals in this evil pit. Always the same questions and tauntings. Always and never do exist here and changes are not to be expected or can be. What is forever?
No hopes,dreams expectations of good are present or ever will be. The fire is always hot, the strange creatures are always present in person, not imagined. These men are terrified to move or speak for fear of being attacked unmercifully.
Broken, battered, bruised and bidding for a death that dies truly. Begging for mercy, pardon and grace. Oh how their hearts yearn for the earth, the fullness of the earth, the air, the trees, food and water. Why, oh Why could they not forget the wonderful way it was?
Shock wave after shock wave hits them. Just when they settle it in their minds that they are here forever the shock of stinging pain would reset their thoughts in panic mode. Then an adrenalin rush with escape, get out slamming into their hearts.
Who is responsible for not letting them know of their fate? Shouldn't they have been terrified to come here so much so that the necessary steps would have been taken? Who sucked them into believing that there was no such place?
God was fair and tried to warn them didn't He? Jesus spoke of it and gave His life to open the way to Heaven. The choice was clear.
Segment 3
Last year, last month, last week,last night, yesterday does not compute. It is all one long unending night, one super long unending age, eras upon eras, eternity.
Progress is not present. Goals are never met let alone set. There is no change in government, no votes to be cast. Whatever was, was and has no comparison to now. Nothing new, nothing scheduled, not another appointed appointment.
It was appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment according to the written word. That sermon was preached globally but who believed it? Maybe one sixth of the population received this truth in the twenty first century.
Hell must mean all negative things forever. It also has to mean separation from God eternally. Not that God has not been there. He was there to create it and He was there again two thousand years ago after the people of the earth crucified Him. It was a brief encounter with Satan when Jesus took the keys of Hades and Hell. Jesus is a lion not a pussycat.
No one gets in here without Jesus' keys. None get out without Jesus' keys. Satan is defeated and will have his time to be tortured for a thousand years, let lose for a time and then thrown into the Lake of fire with death and hell.
Hell was originally created for Satan and one third of the angels of Heaven that fell with him. But as people chose to follow the devil and not Jesus, hell had to be enlarged. Choose you this day whom you will serve. You cannot serve God and mamon. You will hate one and love the other, the Bible reads.
Choose life or death. One need not even describe Heaven in comparison to Hell. Anyone here would gladly trade places. To be a travel agent for Hell you would think that you would have to be a super collossal sales person. But no, you just have to hide the facts and depict it as a temporary joy ride in which you never get caught by the authorities.
Hell's description is avoided and made out to be a fairy tale, a distorted or at least exaggerated fable. Lawbreakers see it as a paradise for thwarting other criminals as if it were a free for all. Deception is a name for a place like this. Not April Fool's day but all fool's eternity.
What compares to the experiences known and unknown here? God only created this one hole with many legs never wanting to enlarge it. He gave His Son Jesus the Christ to prevent people from coming here. If only mankind could grasp that kind of love and forgiveness.
There is no looking forward to any good event in the place of the wicked dead. No colours exist that you can see. Rainbows are definitely a thing of the way, far past. A cool breeze would be greatly appreciated. The air flow is stagnant, sewerish and causes regurgitation as in morning sickness unlimited, unending.
Exercise is null and void as these men are afraid to move in case of stirring up something cruel next to them. Piercing, blood curdling screams come now and then unannounced , untimed. The actual cause is untold. One can only guess or imagine the reason. Questions, questions, unanswered mind boggling questions.
Fear has torment according to the word of God. Fear, terror, horrification, adrenalin rush after rush, then heart attacks. A band about the chest that tightens unmercifully until the ripping pain encompasses their back and front. Excruciating ebb and flow of pain.
King's blood was the price paid. Not just any king would do. It was the spotless, pure blood of the King of kings and Lord of lords. His blood was the ransom. With His broken body it sealed a New Covenant for the whole entire world if only they would believe.
No wonder His word says 'You are not your own, You are bought with a price, the blood of Jesus.' No higher price can be paid. No higher ransom is available. All that could be done was done at Calvary, Golgotha, the place of the skull.

The Blood Trail of Jesus Christ

2009-02-10T11:29:00.002-05:00

The world is trying so hard to keep God out of the government and
the religions of the world and every day life as well as nature. How
can it be when Jesus claimed it all the day that He gave His life for
all?
When we follow the trail of blood that Jesus shed our understanding
of His redeeming plan opens up for the earth and the people. It started in the garden of Gethsemane as Luke the doctor that followed Jesus as his savior, states . Luke 22:44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Nature received the drops of redemption gladly .Jesus was arrested here in the garden and taken to the governing body of the religious order in Jerusalem the capitol city of the world to be.
He was beaten by those who should have embraced His presence and again His blood trail continued on to the government of the enemy Pilate who represented the world leader.The soldiers of Pilate continued the bloodshed in an unmerciful fashion by scourging. As a Galilean Jesus was sent to the visiting Herod from His region whose only interest in the miracle worker
was to get more miracles that would personally entertain the ruler.Jesus' blood continued to impact the rich and famous until He was condemned to death by His own people and religious leaders.
Through the streets of Jerusalem His blood dropped steadily redeeming as He weakly climbed the hill of Golgotha to Calvary.Crucifixion, a thorny crown,the scourging of 39 stripes with
the whips released His ownership of all things and all peoples. Paid in blood was God's plan and it worked.Wherever Jesus walked that day opened the way for salvation. It included nature, religion, prison, government, market place, the common man, the capital's streets and the highway to the world, the place of the skull (death), the grave and finally the mercy
seat of God in Heaven.
How dare we even try to eliminate the presence of the Son of the Great Jehovah God after His payment of the redemption of all things. We can all have the greatest hope of eternal life by accepting our redeemer as Lord and Savior.Even our finances were covered as the money His betrayer got was thrown on the temple floor and used to buy the Field of Blood to bury strangers in.Matthew 27:8.
If we need help in any of these areas we can count on Jesus to give us His personal attention and aid. His trail of shed blood was exactly what we need to know about and adopt into our own lives. Let Him in gladly as the owner of all.

Israel at War

2009-01-17T15:31:00.002-05:00

Israel at War
How do you accept what has been happening at the Gaza strip? What do you believe about the fairness of it all? Where do you draw the line for or against Israel?
My understanding of what is going on in Israel and Gaza has been fed over a few months now as I accepted a newsletter about the country of the Jews. Hearing the news and getting the information from the Israel side are very different and had I not known their God personally I would have made a great error in judgment.To accept their way of exercising defence is at first light an upside down version of patience and slow to anger.
If any rockets started being fired where I live a quick end would be in store for the people who had the nerve to even think so terribly. I would not want to be in their shoes ever as that would be a lifetime shame in their family.
Israel has given too much of her land away and her people have suffered far more than necessary. We go to sleep each night saying "I'll see you in the morning". Can they truthfully say that or must it be faith that says "God willing, I will see you in the morning". Threats from close neighboring countries of nuclear war leave them on edge all the time.
I for one will support Israel's claim to defend herself and live on with no doubt that she deserves to have life and liberty. I love God and Jesus His Son and so His people the Jews where ever they dwell. May the Lord have mercy upon the innocent ones who are caught in the middle of war.
ihttp://www.theisraelproject.org/site/c.hsJPK0PIJpH/b.672581/k.9AD8/For_freedom_security_and_peace_in_Israel_and_the_Middle_East.htms the newsletter I receive often and I am so glad to learn all that I can to help the Jewish nation of Israel.

SUICIDE as a Way Out?

2008-10-31T13:11:00.003-04:00

Suicide as a Way Out
At any age or stage of life people are committing suicide. Why? What reasons are that strong? How can one even consider such a huge opt out?

As a young mother of three children and another on the way I reached a point of despair. The work load was too great and the finances too small. I was prolific and birth control measures were not effective.A young teen in our community had just been successful at taking his own life that was pre planned, journalled and laid out in his art work. In my desperate state of mind I reasoned that if he could do it so could I.As I contemplated on how and when and taking my kids with me, I heard an voice that reminded me that I was not my own but His.

I replied to Him that if He wanted this life He was welcome to it as I was so unable to cope anymore. I gave up my rights to myself again and put myself and my children into His hand of love and mercy and grace.I was spared the shame of opting out of this arena and our families were spared the awful grief, accusations and guilt that follows them for the rest of their lives.

Because I believe in God the Heavenly Father, the Great Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit I was saved from self destruction. Without them I would have caved in to the exit. If the Father of all living had not spoken to me at that precise moment the hell I would have encountered whether I lived or died would have ruined me forever.
Being old and full of days I have since heard of and seen many families destroyed because of a member of their clan or a friend feeling that life was not worth living anymore and so going through death's door into eternity. Troubled souls abound in our time in every country on the face of the earth. Only the realization of God's capable ways can save any of us.

Knowing that the Lord of all is on our side and wanting to deliver us from fear and our inabilities we can go on daily expecting Him to intervene for us. As I gave up to Jesus my future He sent a lady that knew my husband to visit me. When she saw that my house was a terrible mess and I was looking pale and tired she went into action and faithfully came weekly to my aid. She even went to my husbands boss and explained that my husband needed to take some time for us and go on a holiday.Jesus overdelivers all the time. This dear lady asked for nothing and gave us clothing for our kids. Her husband lent us money to buy a car paying it back one hundred dollars a month. Her only suggestion was to pass on the favors when we were able to some other needy family, which we have done several times already and will continue to do.

Suicide is not an option for any christian as it makes our God seem to be unable to keep us well in our minds. It also shows us how much faith in His love we lack. God forgives us of all sin except one and that is against His Holy Spirit. As we ask Him to forgive our unbelief, He will, and fill us with more understanding to trust Him daily to provide everything we need for our spirits, souls and bodies.We need to pass on the love and forgiveness to all others as well. That is what He suggests strongly. He says that if we forgive others their tresspasses, He will forgive ours. No suicide needed! Forgiven we deserve more chances at life and living His way forever.

Blessed to Receive and Give

2008-10-28T11:35:00.004-04:00

Blessed are......for they shall receive.....Whatever state we find ourselves in we are blessed because the answer is on it's way according to Jesus the Christ. There are rewards for some of the conditions we exist in. There are necessary changes coming because of what is going on in our lives. Through it all Jesus says to be salty by adding flavor to situations and continue to show folks the way.HIM.All this is found in Matthew 5:1-16.

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying: 3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. For instance I have seen the death of my father, my brother-in-law, two darling neices, a nephew and my grandfather (just before my wedding day) in the space of ten years. The hole that was left in my heart each and every time as I mourned could only be filled again by the precious Holy Spirit who is the Great Comforter. My blessing was knowing God as my personal comforter.

5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth .[Meek folks are powerful but do not use their power to have their own way, but accept the will of God for their lives.] 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. [ Like all of my friends and relatives I had opportunities galore to do my own thing and go my own way but the teachings I received and accepted as my own were those of Jesus the Christ.

My choices caused a hunger deep within for all His goodnesses and mercies and a thirsting after more knowledge of Him and His ways of life. As a result I had a better life of peace even in the midst of some stormy times.]

7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. [Yes there are times when we want to make someone pay for wrong doings but we do wrong as well and expect mercy ,so we must be merciful to receive mercy.]
8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. [Our hearts only become pure as we accept Jesus and His saving grace. Then we can see God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit at work in our lives.What a blessing that is.]
9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. [Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He encourages us to seek the ways of peace through love His greatest commandment. Having been raised in a large family of eleven children we learned how to love one another and keep peace between each other at a young age.]
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
On many occasions in my life I have been put down, slandered, told to shut up as I tried to tell others about Jesus as Savior and Lord. Some that I have witnessed to who would not believe His story have since died violently. One was killed in a vehicle by a customer in his eighteen wheeler as she was on her way to work. Ironically this truck driver had the same last name as mine, but was not related to me. Therefore I am blessed with a great reward in Heaven. My heart cries,'Oh that that reward was her soul with mine in Heaven'.
In my teen years as a new born again christian I was tempted by young men to consider other religions and beliefs. One such man tried to get me to read a large book about how we evolved from creatures into human beings. I refused stating that that was not biblical. After a few dates I decided that we had no future together as he wanted to be a millionaire without God. Several years later he was in Arab countries seeking his fortune. He suffered a heart attack over Israel and they put the plane on the ground for him for help among jewish people that he rejected. He died in Israel. I loved him and was so sad that he never received Jesus to save him and bless him as Jesus has blessed me.

Salt and Light 13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. It is crucial to do what Jesus says here as glory is given to our Heavenly Father because of how we work all this out. There is not a better purpose in this life than causing others to glorify our Father in Heaven.
Being salty and adding flavor to situations around us will make us valuable and accepted. Our blessings are many to be had if we allow them into our lives and become better not bitter. Always look forward to the kingdom of Heaven, the Comforter, inheritances, mercy, seeing God in person,being called a child of God, and being filled with His righteousness. Letting the light or understanding that we have out in the open to help others grasp the essence of life through doing good deeds will bring praise to our Heavenly Father who blesses us all.We have received freely and we will give freely to all who ask the understanding that we have of God. What a blessing!

Signs that the Lord is Destroying a Nation

2008-08-30T12:12:00.001-04:00

Have you ever wondered why certain things follow certain things and the outcome is always the same?Are you aware that there are signs of a nation's sure disaster? Do you think about the possiblities in your own nation as these signs develop in your land?

There are universe laws. There are laws of nature. There are laws of God. Whether or not we believe in them, they are still operating. Knowing what the laws are in any land can save you a tremendous amount of grief. Keeping the laws elevate you to the best position to enjoy any country in our present day.

I was skimming through a chapter in the Holy Bible learning about the fall of a nation in Isaiah.Prophets like Isaiah warned mankind constantly that they were overstepping their boundaries in God. In this instance the Lord wanted to warn Jerusalem and Judah in the middle east of their impending doom. He knew that they would not listen, but in all fairness He gave them the facts and left them to their own ways.

In Isaiah chapter 3 a sure sign that God was on that pathway to destroy was that He allowed women and children to rule over the city and country. At this time no sin was hidden as the people became open and unashamed to flaunt their unrighteousness. As a result their punishment began with famine,drought, and oppression.

In verse 10 the Lord tells the righteous that it will be well with them for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Whew, I say for in our day and time we are ruled by such wickedness with womens lib and abortions on demand, gay lib and children running our schools. The ones who see and know and understand and love on God will reap goodness and mercy and lovingkindnesses.

Isaiah 3, King James version,http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah 3;&version=9;
Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem

1 For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts,
Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
The stock and the store,
The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water;
2 The mighty man and the man of war,
The judge and the prophet,
And the diviner and the elder;
3 The captain of fifty and the honorable man,
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
And the expert enchanter.
4 “ I will give children to be their princes,
And babes shall rule over them.
5 The people will be oppressed,
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the elder,
And the base toward the honorable.”
6 When a man takes hold of his brother
In the house of his father, saying,
“ You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your power,”[a]
7 In that day he will protest, saying,
“ I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
8 For Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the LORD,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10 “ Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.” Oppression and Luxury Condemned
13 The LORD stands up to plead,
And stands to judge the people.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment
With the elders of His people
And His princes:
“ For you have eaten up the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord GOD of hosts.
16 Moreover the LORD says:
“ Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
And walk with outstretched necks
And wanton eyes,
Walking and mincing as they go,
Making a jingling with their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the LORD will uncover their secret parts.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents;
19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
The perfume boxes, the charms,
21 and the rings;
The nose jewels,
22 the festal apparel, and the mantles;
The outer garments, the purses,
23 and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
24 And so it shall be:
Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword,
And your mighty in the war.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn,
And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.

I enjoy knowing what is going on with where I live in God. I like to see His acts of mercy and grace that will come as a nation repents and returns to keeping His laws. I love my sisters in my country but I also realize that they need to understand that men are designed to rule in God's kingdom. We women are not as clued into what men are all about and tend to think of them as stupid and brutish. We fail to recognize them as God like and more able to be in charge. Each generation becomes more and more child like and women inspired.

Have you seen the signs of destruction in Canada and USA? As a whole our countries are in a very unstable mode when disallowing prayer and Bible study. How else will the children change and realize their true destiny in God's kingdom when they are untaught?

Why Gold, why Jewels?

2008-07-18T15:11:00.001-04:00

In the outpourings of the Holy Spirit we have noted many miracles, signs and wonders.
Some healings and miracles we understand as they were terribly needed or death was imminent.But the gold fillings and the gold teeth and the gold dust on people and their clothing has been a questioned item.

Also there have been jewels and precious stones appear in folks hands and laps and on floors. What can all this mean? I have accepted it as a sovereign act of God lavishing love on His children until I read about the original temple that King Solomon built . In 2 Chronicles chapters 3 and 4 the description of what was added to the structure in the form of decorating at a cost of over 600 million (600,000,000) dollars is staggering. Everything was covered in the purest gold with precious stones on the walls too. Carvings on walls and doors and elaborate wreathing of gold and silver.

All of that has changed hands as the temple was destroyed. The later rebuilding of temples for the Lord God Almighty were not as wonderful and costly. As I pondered about the reasoning for our modern day happenings in God's people both Jew and Gentile, it came to me that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we can expect that He will do things to build us up in body , soul, and spirit. As a gift giver He will lavish on His temples whatever He pleases. The more we spend time in His presence, the more we can expect.

Soaking in His presence for hours at a time is becoming more natural to the church that follows Jesus closely. In soaking in the Glory of the Lord wonderful healings and freedom from addictions come. So it seems that the Lord is comfortable with gold as He paves His streets with it and at times covers us with it as well (gold dust that is). The precious stones are in His walls in the New Jerusalem of Heaven and Jesus has always shared with His own. Expecting signs and wonders because we belong to Him is becoming our way.

Because He possesses what is His and will decorate and care for anyone that truly wants to be so loved and accepted in the beloved, we will keep on spending time with Him. I have a son that has to have infusions periodically. He has to stay still for a few hours to receive the drugs that he needs to help alleviate some symptoms of anklosing spondilitis. As we stay in the presence of our Lord we will experience infusions of His Spirit too. Check your mouth from time to time to see fillings turn to gold or new fillings and gold teeth. I did and I was both pleased and satisfied.

As to the carvings I wonder if the tattoos are part of that as lots of Christians are getting art in the skin using their bodies like a canvas to express their beliefs. One such man is Todd Bentley whose team is heading up the Florida outpouring with the theme 'come and get some'. He sometimes wears a t-shirt that says Jesus loves me and my tattoos.

I hope this answers your questioning heart about gold, jewels and carvings etc. in the believers in Christ Jesus. I felt that some could be missing out on the unusual as they have their Christian beliefs in a box and uncertainty prevents them from indulging in the soaking places around the world. I urge you to try putting on some Christian music and lay comfortably before the Lord and say to Him 'Come Holy Spirit, and pour into me and decorate your temple however You please.' Stay a while and then a while longer in worship and praise and adoration. He will come and love on you His way.

Healing Rooms

2008-07-18T15:07:00.001-04:00

'Healing Rooms' are springing up all over the world as more believers in Christ Jesus reach out to a hurting, sick world. You will find them in the smallest and largest communities ready and willing to pray off the illnesses and diseases that plague us in every stage and every level of life.

Jesus came to give us abundant life and He has not changed His mind. As time goes on we can expect many people to be free of all their distressing ailments as they trust Jesus to do it for them. The Healing Rooms are designed to give us a place and a time via appointment to meet in prayer with Jesus and volunteer believers. Together we can agree for our healing, deliverance and salvation .

Thank God Jehovah and His Son, Jesus Christ who through the Holy Spirit bring us this joyful way of receiving our health and strength to enjoy the true abundant life and living. The same way we go for a doctor to help us we can turn to the Lord to tell Him of our problems in every area of our lives. He really is a great Savior and Lord of our bodies, souls and spirits.

The rooms are easily found and should be easily accessible for wheel chairs and crutches. The folks who do the praying with us are trained to agree in prayer, not to diagnose, treat or counsel us. We can rest assured that no harm is done and every individual is kindly accepted. If need be we can go back as often as we will until all the symptoms disappear.

No charge for any time spent there is applied. Jesus said " Freely you have received, freely give." These rooms may have a rental fee but they are gladly paid for by many offerings that other thankful friends give. Any fears or misgivings leave us as we enter the first waiting room and listen to some relaxing music. Sometimes you are healed in this room as Jesus can not be boxed in to any set way of doing His work.

There will always be more than one person with you in the next room to agree in prayer as well as other prayer people elsewhere believing God to do His healing. I myself have experienced the laying on of hands as they pray. I have received a wondrous healing from fear, anxiety, worry and stress concerning driving or riding in an automobile. The tension I had felt previous to this prayer time was painful. My head would pound with pain and my back would tighten up. Confusion at any movement outside of my car in traffic reigned. I needed help.

Many have experienced and enjoyed and even took the course to join in prayer to help others. Jesus always accepts us as His followers to go and give back what we can by reaching out to the needy and suffering. There are no denominational barriers or race, culture or age limits. There is no christian, jewish, buddhist,islamic,moslem or other requirements to receive prayer. Way to go Church!

Muskoka Healing Rooms is where I took some training so that I too could help others for Jesus. My time is well spent and I receive no monies or rewards except for the utter joy of serving the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus the Christ , Son of the true and living God. Hallelujah!

Beginning Signs and Wonders

2008-07-18T15:04:00.001-04:00

Mary must have seen Jesus doing private signs, wonders and miracles and so decided He must share His ability with others. Why wine? What is the significance of water into wine? Wine affects your spirit and can cause your heart to sing and be merry. It is also a cleanser, relaxer, restorer and all round comfort if not overdone. Mary instructed the servants to do whatever Jesus said.

Six waterpots were used. Six being the number of man. We were carried in water in our mothers wombs and now Jesus commands us to be born again or be carried in spirit or new wine of the Holy Spirit. John baptized in water but Jesus baptizes in the Holy Spirit and fills us just like a waterpot to the brim.

"Draw some out now and take it to the Master of the feast." Jesus says in John 2:8. When people draw on spirit filled followers of Jesus it is like a sweet wine with all the benefits of peace and joy that we experience when we are filled to the brim. Signs, wonders and miracles do happen as a result of expecting from a person fully yielded and filled to the brim. As a spirit filled individual with the new wine of the Holy Ghost we must always get a refill after moving in the workings of the Lord.

We manifest His glory when we allow the Master to brim us up and draw on us to help others. This is happening 'big time' in Lakeland , Florida in the new outpouring of the Holy Spirit with the Todd Bentley team. Todd tells folks to come and receive or get filled up to take back to their nation and let others draw on them for their infilling for healing, needs, miracles,and comfort. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter.

The healing rooms springing up all over the world are manifesting the glory of Jesus as they pray and lay hands on the sick and crippled and diseased. Every person carried by the Holy Spirit can offer their time and prayers and laying on of hands to the lost and dying world. Refilling is a must and Jesus will see to it as He requires us to be continually filled with purpose for others.

Let there be a beginning of signs in each filled person to affect the rest of God's creation. Doing whatever Jesus tells us to do with each case and trusting Him to fulfill His word to never leave us nor forsake us. Amen!

Journaling with Jesus

2008-07-18T14:54:00.004-04:00

Amazing grace flows from the heart of the Lord towards His children and as we wait for Him to speak, He will! We can write it down and read it later. It is so wondrous what He says to us as His love cannot help but reach out and enjoy His children.

Sometimes or most times we get the answer to our petition or a new idea or an interpretation to a dream we had. There is nothing quite so thrilling when you see it come to pass according to the words you wrote from Jesus. Such bliss knowing He cares enough to listen and respond.

Journaling opens up a whole new way of learning about ourselves from God's perspective. On our own level we miss a lot of things that stand out to others and Jesus. He wants to train us up in the way that we should go to accomplish our destinies. Authors understand the need to suddenly write whatever comes to their minds and Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. He writes on our hearts and reveals what He has put there to us as we write.

A lot of mysteries exist in this life and the Lord of Glory is the solver of all of them. There is nothing that He does not know and is willing and able to let us in on. The ideas we have about things depend on our past and our history. Especially in relationships we draw conclusions of our own about people based on where we have been with them in our daily walk of life. But Jesus understands changes in people that take place in the heart. He has a profound sense of what it is we should say and do in our relationships that can become strained if we react out of yesterdays involvement instead of where they are at now.

When we ask the Lord to give us the reason why a certain person is acting the way that they presently are and journal it with Jesus we are startled at the reply. I have had ugly occasions where I was confounded as to how to react. On one of those happenings Jesus told me that the person was feeling unappreciated and used. The solution was simple and it worked quite well. As I expressed gratitude to that one the atmosphere changed totally around.

I was really glad that I listened to God, the Lord and applied what seemed undeserving for that other person but was deeply needed. Jesus knows how it is all supposed to work and as we obey Him, because we love Him, the changes are miraculous. As a result of hearing and following through with God we find that He will share future events with us as well. This is an awesome time! His sharing is not that we should do something about the situation but that we should know that we are trusted and forewarned in some cases.

I hate to miss these journaling mornings as they enthuse and excite me to be in His presence knowingly. I write this piece of information to recommend to all that Jesus is waiting for you to take the time to call with expectancy. He does want you to know what is in your own heart from His heart.

Life After Death

2008-01-30T17:10:00.000-05:00

Man wonders about life after death and usually basis their belief on experiences of their own or someone else's that is close to them. Does this mystery captivate you betimes? Perhaps I can help to clear up the nagging question in your soul.

In the Holy Bible , King James version, is one recording of the answer in 1 Corinthians 15: 35-58. In verse 51 Paul calls it a mystery.

Some will ask. How are the dead raised up? With what body do they come?

All flesh is not the same flesh? Man ,beast, fish, and birds, celestial, terrestrial,sun moon and stars are all different. Resurrection is a different matter also. Living again in a different way, in a different body, that is spiritual instead of natural. Being heavenly instead of earthly is resurrection.

Jesus Christ along with many others at that time had died and been resurrected in bodies unlike the natural earthly ones we are accustomed to. In these glorified bodies they could go through locked doors and suddenly appear and disappear. Still they could be touched and eat food and drink. Jesus floated upward out of sight when He left the earth. He is supposed to come again in the same way according to the angels present there at that time. Acts 1:9-11

Jesus raised several people from the dead, Lazarus being the one buried for four days. It is not recorded that any of these ones had the heavenly body but returned to their former state, only healed. My sister Geraldine was brought back to life by a hospital team in Elliot Lake. Her experience was peaceful as far as the time out of her present body. She found herself in a waiting room being asked by Jesus if she wanted to continue on to Heaven or return to earth. She replied that she had two young children and so should go back to them. She returned to her bruised body as the work to revive her was strenuous.

Resurrection involves a changed body that becomes incorruptible, glorious, powerful and spiritual. Immortality is awaiting the human body,soul and spirit because it is the will of God for the human race. Where each of us goes in these new bodies is also decided by God at the white throne judgment.

I dreamed once that I was at the top of a set of stairs that are not normally seen in my mother's kitchen. I was waiting there with a room full of people saying where is she? It is after nine o'clock. I called to her and she came out of her room looking radiant and happy. She flowed up the stairs in a lovely white dress right past me into the arms of a large man similar to my father who went on to be with Jesus in 1980. Over his shoulder she was waving to an old friend that had also gone on home to glory earlier. At present my mom is ninety-one and a half. Am I to go ahead of her ?

This kind of dream is in keeping with the Christian belief that if we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved and death will have no power over us. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8

The Kenyans are going through some terrible tribal conflicts right now and christians are targeted and losing their lives for Christ. They are now in His presence, their KING, their GOD, their MASTER, their SAVIOR. and they are hearing "Well done thou good and faithful servant. Enter in to the Joy of your Lord"!!!

Perfectionism

2008-01-18T12:40:00.000-05:00

I never thought it possible to be perfect or have perfectionism allotted to me as I am laid back and passive and have a live and let live attitude. How about you? Does it seem that perfect is a description of you and your ways? You might be very surprised who calls you perfect.

My eldest son, the genius was on his way out the door for a busy day of appointments. I asked him what it meant to be perfect to which he replied that he did not know but had a feeling that I was ready to tell him. I was indeed and excited to relay the message of God to him.
Being perfect would seem impossible in this world but God says all things are possible if you believe. When one says it is a perfect fit for them when they are considering a new challenge you automatically think that it must meet their exact specifications for their lifestyle, talents and favourite things to do.

Perfectionists work at a thing until it is exactly how they want it to be. To them it is now perfect. Parents expect their children to be perfect and get everything right at least the second time. To feel perfect one has no health concerns, no social battles, no upcoming financial upheavals and certainly no zits.
To have a perfect wedding one must manage to bring at least a dozen people into harmony along with a hundred details that please the bride and bridegroom. The weather must cooperate and the guests must time it just right to attend the ceremony. The gifts must be only what they need or ask for.

None of these describe being perfect like Jesus Christ does. According to His word in the Holy Bible in
Matthew 5:43-48 (King James Version) it is actually a possible thing to be perfect by obeying Him.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Love is a choice we make. We do not love the acts of the enemy but the person or persons. Loving someone as a mother, brother, father, sister or brother , a friend must happen to fulfill the Lord's word and to be perfect like Father God Jehovah.
Doing good and blessing our enemies requires action as in rebuilding a country after a war. Giving food to those who hate us can often bring about a friendship. Praying for and not against our haters seems like a tough call but the Father honors such prayers and places His seal of approval on the words of our mouth concerning them.

After preaching this word of perfection, Jesus did all that He commands us to do . He died on a cross after much persecution , curses, hatred from His own people, and prayed that all of this would not be held against them and they would all be forgiven. Perfect Jesus the Christ now enables us to do the same.

Many missionaries are now in our time being perfect as their Father in heaven is. Many laymen and women are loving unto their death and praying that the slayers not be held accountable for these crimes.
Some men and women are married to their enemies and loving their spouses to the end of their lives. Such love is truly tested and tried daily wearing on the souls but strengthening the spirts of just men made perfect. The choice to obey Jesus Christ our example is becoming more and more prevalent. Love's way is God's way because God is love.

Expect to be given opportunities to practice loving your enemies in spite of themselves. As a christian look for, go out of your way to find and bless an enemy or persecuter or hater or and abusive user. Obedience will bring a smile to your face, a humming in your heart and energy to your spirit as it feeds on Father's approval.

What Will it Take for us to Believe?

2008-01-05T16:31:00.000-05:00

God's prophet Elijah said it ain't gonna rain no more, no more and it did not. A drought ensued.
God said go and stay by the brook Cherith before the Jordan and I will cause the ravens to feed you flesh and bread each morning and each evening.
When the brook dried up because the drought lasted a long time, about 3 years. God told Elijah to go to a widow in Zarephath and she would look after him.
Elijah obeyed God and the women met him at the city gate. She obeyed Elijah as a prophet of God and lived out the drought with the miracles of never ending oil and meal.
During Elijah's stay with her household her little son died of an illness. After Elijah prayed and God gave the boy back his life, the widowed mother declared her belief in Elijah as that was proof enough. 1Kings 17: 23 &24
23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives!”
24 Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth.”

The same thing happened in Jesus' ministry on the earth. People saw his miracles of healing and provision but failed to believe in Him until they saw Him risen from the dead. Thomas is the example of this in John 20 24- 29
24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

My sincere hope is that we will not wait to believe Him only by seeing a resurection from the dead as that is not a common occurrence. It is happening sporadically here and there in this earth but it never hits the global news as it should.

Doubt your doubts is good advice. Believe your beliefs in a big and huge way. Expect miracles for sure but believe in the miracle worker Jesus the Christ the Son of the living and true God of all.

Unfolding Parable of the Healing Water

2007-11-21T12:32:00.000-05:00

Unfolding Parable of the Healing Water

We have read and we have heard many a sermon of the healing water that has trees planted by it that bear fruit each and every month and the leaves are medicine. We assumed that that would be in our future in Heaven as no such trees and foliage exist on our earth. Surprise, surprise ! The River of God has started to flow out from the throne in Heaven onto the earth.

I was reading about that particular river this morning and wonder of wonders I really grasped it and understood the allegorical message in Ezekiel 47: 1-12. The River is the Spirit of the Living God Jehovah. The sea is humanity, the fisherman are the evangelists, the trees are righteous men raised up for this flow of His Spirit to feed and heal many that will be in the way of the River.
Swamps and marshes are shallow people that will not receive much of the word and so will be given over to hard hearts as salt hardens like Lot's wife.

King James Version (KJV)Public Domain
Ezekiel 47 1Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
2Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looked eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
3And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
4Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
5Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
6And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
9And it shall come to pass, that every thing that lived, which moves, whither soever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river comes.
10And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En gedi even unto En eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
11But the miry places thereof and the marshes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
12And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

We christians who love the River will be allowed to fish for men as Jesus told His disciples . The Leaders of this movement will bear fruit always and release healing through their good works . As long as we stay by the river receiving it's healing flow we will live, truly live by the Spirit of the Lord and be led by His Spirit. The great multitude of fish in this parable is our harvest to share with Jesus. As we eat of the trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord He will be glorified.

The very many trees on both sides of the River will provide enough food and medicine for all the multitude of the harvest. Hallelujah ! Praise the Lord! The dead will live again and proclaim the Glory of the Lord. The Toronto Blessing or Father's Love is happening all over the world now and the nets that are spoken of are on the Internet and satellites etc..Wow!

We must eat more of our leaders fruit and drink more of the Holy Spirit's medicine being released through them in the form of teaching such as John Arnott's booklet on forgiveness being the ultimate cure for many diseases which I have experienced first hand. I am also learning to move on the word of God whether or not I fully understand it. The 'Healing Rooms' are rising all over the world to open the way for christian and non christian alike to be healed.

Supernatural Things

2007-11-06T15:21:00.000-05:00

Things that come into being supernaturally go out the same way. I consider everything that has happened to me that is out of the ordinary as supernatural. When Job was attacked by Satan and restored by God, they were supernatural acts.

Because of disobedience I lost my health and because of obedience I am regaining it. These are supernatural and above our natural comprehension. I can now expect God's best and receive only good from His hand and heart. I can expect restoration that is supernatural with no natural explanation.

Is it not wondrous that the Lord Jesus loves us even when we are His wicked servants? We are still His even when His anger is kindled against us. Thank God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit for such amazing love that is certainly supernatural.

Two unforgiving Men Part 2 (segment 3)

2007-10-31T15:02:00.000-04:00

Last year, last month, last week,last night, yesterday does not compute. It is all one long unending night, one super long unending age, eras upon eras, eternity.

Progress is not present. Goals are never met let alone set. There is no change in government, no votes to be cast. Whatever was, was and has no comparison to now. Nothing new, nothing scheduled, not another appointed appointment.

It was appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment according to the written word. That sermon was preached globally but who believed it? Maybe one sixth of the population received this truth in the twenty first century.

Hell must mean all negative things forever. It also has to mean separation from God eternally. Not that God has not been there. He was there to create it and He was there again two thousand years ago after the people of the earth crucified Him. It was a brief encounter with Satan when Jesus took the keys of Hades and Hell. Jesus is a lion not a pussycat!

No one gets in here without Jesus' keys. None get out without Jesus' keys. Satan is defeated and will have his time to be tortured for a thousand years, let lose for a time and then thrown into the Lake of fire with death and hell.

Hell was originally created for Satan and one third of the angels of Heaven that fell with him. But as people chose to follow the devil and not Jesus, hell had to be enlarged. Choose you this day whom you will serve. You cannot serve God and mamon. You will hate one and love the other, the Bible reads.

Choose life or death. One need not even describe Heaven in comparison to Hell. Anyone here would gladly trade places.To be a travel agent for Hell you would think that you would have to be a super colossal sales person. But no, you just have to hide the facts and depict it as a temporary joy ride in which you never get caught by the authorities.

Hell's description is avoided and made out to be a fairy tale, a distorted or at least exaggerated fable. Lawbreakers see it as a paradise for thwarting other criminals as if it were a free for all. Deception is a name for a place like this. Not April Fool's day but all fool's eternity.

What compares to the experiences known and unknown here? God only created this one hole with many legs never wanting to enlarge it. He gave His Son Jesus the Christ to prevent people from coming here. If only mankind could grasp that kind of love and forgiveness.

There is no looking forward to any good event in the place of the wicked dead. No colours exist that you can see. Rainbows are definitely a thing of the way, far past. A cool breeze would be greatly appreciated. The air flow is stagnant, sewerish and causes regurgitation as in morning sickness unlimited, unending.

Exercise is null and void as these men are afraid to move in case of stirring up something cruel next to them. Piercing, blood curdling screams come now and then unannounced , untimed. The actual cause is untold. One can only guess or imagine the reason. Questions, questions, unanswered mind boggling questions.

Fear has torment according to the word of God. Fear, terror, horrification, adrenalin rush after rush, then heart attacks. A band about the chest that tightens unmercifully until the ripping pain encompasses their back and front. Excruciating ebb and flow of pain.

King's blood was the price paid. Not just any king would do. It was the spotless, pure blood of the King of kings and Lord of lords. His blood was the ransom. With His broken body it sealed a New Covenant for the whole entire world if only they would believe.

No wonder His word says 'You are not your own, You are bought with a price, the blood of Jesus.' No higher price can be paid. No higher ransom is available. All that could be done was done at Calvary, Golgotha, the place of the skull.

Two unforgiving Men Part 2 (segment 2)

2007-10-31T14:55:00.000-04:00

Some people have visited Hell with Jesus and were allowed to return to tell the world to repent and be baptized in Jesus. Still there are those that refuse to believe and receive Christ Jesus. Others believe and receive but give up because they are not willing to forgive their fellowman for atrocities done them. Jesus said that we must forgive to be forgiven. There is no unforgiveness allowed in Heaven among us.

God help us to forgive and let God take care of every little or huge matter.Vengeance is His and He will repay each and every evil. Nothing or no one can escape His judgments.

They had thought that dead was like totally extinct, not another thought, word ,nor deed ,nor feeling. Death was supposed to be the sleep beyond sleep into nothingness, no eternity, no awareness of anything or anyone anymore with no memories,no dreams, and no nightmares. How wrong they both are. How very,very wrong. Hell is the negative side and Heaven the positive.

Daily or is it nightly or is it both there are new arrivals in this evil pit. Always the same questions and tauntings. Always and never do exist here and changes are not to be expected or can be. What is forever?
No hopes,dreams expectations of good are present or ever will be. The fire is always hot, the strange creatures are always present in person, not imagined. These men are terrified to move or speak for fear of being attacked unmercilessly.

Broken, battered, bruised and bidding for a death that dies truly. Begging for mercy, pardon and grace. Oh how their hearts yearn for the earth, the fullness of the earth, the air, the trees, food and water. Why, oh why could they not forget the wonderful way it was?
Shock wave after shock wave hits them. Just when they settle it in their minds that they are here forever the shock of stinging pain would reset their thoughts in panic mode. Then an adrenalin rush with escape, get out slamming into their hearts.

Who is responsible for not letting them know of their fate? Shouldn't they have been terrified to come here so much so that the necessary steps would have been taken? Who sucked them into believing that there was no such place?
God was fair and tried to warn them didn't He? Jesus spoke of it and gave His life to open the way to Heaven. The choice was clear.

Two unforgiving Men Part 2 (segment1)

2007-10-31T14:49:00.000-04:00

Understanding their plight is too clear and inescapable. All hope is lost. The future only promises more of the same unthinkable horrors.

Echoes of past sermons about loving God and loving your fellowman fill this abyss. Love your neighbor as yourself resounds clearly, It is too late for them. They will not ever know love for themselves or their neighbours or God. Hatred abounds!

To know truth and yet be unable to embrace it is a wickedness that grieves their souls. To finally see the light in such a seeless place adds more grief and sorrow.
To feel such rejection, utter and complete is unbearable. To know that death will not, cannot take you out again and it is not an escape or remedy after fearing death in your former life is such a wound to their souls.

Nothingness would seem a good thing except that it is followed by extreme, horrific actions in hell. Temptations do not exist in this location. There are no choices to be made, no decisions to even consider. It is all so final, so etched in stone, so undoable.
All thoughts are a dead end. Who could have imagined any of these nots. Life had been so free for them. Everyday had been so alive with choices. No going back No returning. No time travel, only certain judgment.

The one glimpse of Heaven will be at the judgment seat of Christ. Seeing Him in all of His glory and riches and honor will be the last look at real life. That time will cause even a deeper and darker emotion for eternity. To hear Jesus Christ say 'depart from Me, I never knew you' will scream in their spirits and remain with them eternally. To be thrust out of His sight by the angels that adore Him will cover these men with shame maximized by the truth that love, true love is refusing the entrance into Heaven, the place of bliss.

The lake of fire that burns forever now waits for them to be judged, sentenced and thrown in with death, hell and the grave. False prophets, teachers, evangelists, preachers and hypocrites will all have the same fate. No exemptions. No playing favorites by the Lord or angels. It is so over, so done, so finished, so unalterable.

No one ever gets comfortable. Pain increases steadily with no fainting, no comas, no opting out. The spider webs of confusion are gone. Clarity is too good and finds no way out, Words are useless and unfunctional. They have no more authority, no more say or vote in anything. They cannot prevent their family nor friends from coming to this hell hole. Every chance at making a difference in anyone's destination is gone for all eternity.

Starkness of mind is so not a good thing when you want to forget or lose coonsciousness or feel numb. How long is forever and eternity? How intense can it get ?

Two unforgiving Men (segment 3)

2007-10-31T14:42:00.000-04:00

These two men's families move on as they say on earth, back into life and living. New people, new wives or girlfriends, new fathers for their children. All of their belongings would go to others or the garbage. No turning back time.

No becoming a new and better person counted worthy to escape hell and being so-o-o-o lost. All is lost even their soul as the Bible warned. Weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth it said would be the sounds and emotions of the place of the forever damned.Now they are experiencing it first hand from their own mouths and hearts. No tender touches just absolute degradation.
Why would anyone choose this place? There is no logical answer. How long is forever? No one knows as it has not been experienced yet nor ever will be. Unending song! They chose their own forever, forever.

Rumours abound but they are all lies, deceptions, false hopes, cruel misconceptions. Not even knowing anything for sure or for certain because the Bible is not available here is a torture to their souls.

The two unforgiving men can issue no warnings to those on the earth. No communication is possible with the outside world. Woe, woe and more woe is inevitable. These forever bodies will not cremate fully, will not decay fully and will never die fully.

There are no tools, no utensils, nothing to make anything or work with their hands or minds. Nothingness and still more nothingness except for the promised pain and misery.
Everyone here has fibromyalgia, or cancer growths, worms, arthritis, heart disease, strokes, aids, leprosy, disfigurements, and or mangled parts.

What in Hell did they want? The menu is horrifying. The scenery is blackness unending. Breathing in smoke always with not a drop to drink.
Why did they choose hell? There are definite rules and regulations and every conceivable judgment and sentence served. There are no 'rock stars' starring. There are no 'idols' being idolized. They are all in intense misery, intense strife. There is no mail, no messages, no phone calls, no birthdays, no holidays, no Christmas, No Easter, no anniversaries, no calendars, no clocks, and no pin points for marking anything on anything.

Who goes to Hell? Who belongs there? How do you choose that place? Unbelievers in Christ, disobedient to God, unforgivers, haters of their fellowman, sinners unrepentant, ignorers of God and His laws of doing right, and anyone who does not know the greatest Judge of all the earth, Jesus.

To know Jesus in an intimate and loving way is to obey Him and follow after Him in loving Father God Jehovah and His Holy Spirit.

Rejected by God and given over to destruction never to be rebuilt, never to know anything positive. Held captive, enslaved by torturers, no thoughts of breaking free to do the right things.
Totally lost in blackness and blindness, their senses offended by evil sounds,smells and tastes of sulphur, always awake, forever insomnia envelops them.

Truth reigns here. Every lie is proven to be just that, lies. No one is this place can unjustify their being put here. Their knowledge of the present time is truth and the possibility of blaming someone else for anything is gone.

JESUS is a LION not a Pussycat

Segment Two ( 2 unforgiving men)

2007-10-27T14:33:00.000-04:00

Destitute forever in an unseen existence, sometimes so alone but never at peace; only lonliness so deep it was unutterable, a huge void.
The memories of family and friends and all loved ones makes it more unbearable as the possibilty of them coming to this place without them or each other, separated always and eternally is too much.

Pain wracked nerves and emotional wounding goes on and on and on. No music, no singing, no television or games. No agreement about anything. Total inharmonious circumstances with no let up, no breaks, no addiction relief. Gaping flesh wounds, flu symptoms, fevers, chills, boils, cancers, heart attacks, strokes with every conceivable and unconceivable evil with full awareness. No comfort, no pain medicine, no drugs to help you forget, itching deepest itching.
Wrong choices bring wrong outcomes. Snakes, spiders, scorpions,fleas,lice, ticks in abundance. Flying things, creeping things, crawling things. The expectation of cruelty and torture never leave them.

Over time the fading memories of anything good get further and further apart and only bring regrets and deep soul searching of remorse. Hatred overcomes them in each session of remembering. Self hatred for the ungodly choices, hatred for every person who led them to make ungodly decisions, hatred for all that was good because it is out of reach now and for always ,eternally.

Sexual desire is gone completely. No pleasant memories of any sexual encounter exists here. Tears flow incessantly. No numbness can even break the pain level. Excruciating body pain and emotional pain. Pain! Pain! Pain! Rejection! Rejection! Rejection!
Hotter than an oven, burning flesh,stenchy, and smoky causing coughing and spasms. They know every form of pain, every form of suffering. This is not a nightmare. It is real and it is not going away.

Dehydration, utter weakness, sore throats from screaming.No mercy, no love, no grace, no pardon, just sentence upon sentence. Slander, accusations, lies, deceptions, teasing, taunting, no peace, no joy, no happiness. No answers to any questions. No books, no movies, no buildings, no light, no bed, no chair, no pillow, no grass, no trees, no sky, only a cave-like,thick,stenchy space filled with horrors.

Someone and someone else have no hope, no life, no sense of time anymore. Their misery far exceeds anything they had known on the earth. They feel exhausted, weak, sickly, unable to move. Who, what, when, where, when and how are useless words without any knowledge. News is not. Whatever is at any given moment is all there is. Time is not.
Their names do not matter anymore. Their accomplishments in their former lives mean nothing. Hell is real. That is all that matters now and forever. There is nothing else and no one else to blame it on. They know that they are getting what they chose and forever is forever after all.

Excuses don't hold any weight. Reasoning is no more. Rights, attitudes, opinions don't exist. Any thought of God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit result in their dropping to their knees and confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord. Every thought of God = knees and confession.
Can a man get used to these conditions knowing that death has already been experienced and this is the judgment? NO, there is no getting used to any thing for them.

There is no stopping any force of evil here. There is no end to the reaping, no cancelling the harvest of ungodliness here. They are doomed, damned, and desecrated. They feel everything and can't stop it. They cannot help themselves or each other.
Every chance to prove themselves worthy to escape the judgment and Hell is gone,long gone. Their short lives are ended and their forever deaths are just beginning even after six thousand years.

Two Unforgiving Men

2007-10-27T14:13:00.000-04:00

Forgiveness Testimony

2007-10-24T18:22:00.000-04:00

Dona Hatherley testifies to 'forgiving everyone and everything or remain unforgiven herself.'
For 28 years I suffered with fibromyalgia. In November of 2006 I was delivered and set free to heal.
A few years ago the Lord came into my room and sat on my bedside for 3 hours. I was in the midst of a horrendous burning pain in my body and bones. I was unable to move. I pleaded with the Lord to touch me and heal me. He did neither.

About the time that the awareness of His presence left me the pain lessened. I also learned of some products that greatly helped me and kept me comfortable but not free of the disease.
When I went for prayer in November of 2006, the healing evangelist Billy Smith, asked me if I knew what was causing the pain . I knew and answered him that unforgiveness and bitterness were known to cause it. He agreed and acknowledged that I had tried to forgive but this forgiveness had to be public.

He led me in a prayer and declaration to forgive and pardon everyone that had ever hurt me. Then he held my feet and commanded the healing. This was in Barrie, On..
The scripture that this is based on is the parable of the large and small debts with the Master and the servants. Also the Lord's Prayer 'forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors'.

Recently I was given the opportunity again to forgive publicly as I had been involved in an accident in Feb.2007. This involved 3 insurance companies because of a whiplash that I had received.
By a word of knowledge a visiting man of God asked if there was anyone there with a issue concerning a pickup truck. Murv and I went forward and I had to publicly speak forgiveness to these 3 insurance companies and ask the Lord to pardon me again.

If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Do you ever struggle with unforgiveness issues? Do you think the verse in the Bible that says Confess your faults one to another that you may be healed is the public notice that we forgive we heal?

After many years of unforgiveness I have to really concentrate to forgive each moment, all the time, every trespass. Some call this being rapture ready !

Mention the Lovingkindnesses of the Lord

2007-10-15T12:51:00.000-04:00

In Isaiah he encourages us to mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord and the Praises of the Lord. Chapter 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us....

The Lord the great Jehovah has bestowed on us health, strength, children and grandchildren, houses and lands. He has given us His mercy and grace, His Holy Spirit and His only begotten Son,Jesus Christ. He has provided our sustenance and given us joy to enjoy His plenty. He has pardoned us and saved us from Hell and delivered us from sin and Satan.

7 I will recount the loving-kindnesses of the Lord and the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us....(amplified)
7 I will talk about the kind things the Lord has done.
I'll praise him for everything he's done for us( new international version).
Praise the Lord for keeping us and nurturing us in spiritual things, teaching us His wondrous ways and covenant benefits.
Praise the the Lord for healing us continually and forgiving us always.
Praise the the Lord for the fellowship of the saints in glory and the sonship of the Father.
Praise the the Lord for the inheritance with Christ Jesus. He has made us and created us and now in Christ we are joint heirs with His Son.Hallelujah !!!
Praise to the Lord for freedom to worship and love and adore our Lord God Almighty and speak of Him as often as we will.
Praise to the Lord for an attitude of gratitude to usward.
wow !!!
Praise to the Lord for helping us live up to our full potential in Him.Glory !!! I am with Isaiah on this and say yes, yes, yes to mentioning the lovingkindnesses of the Lord and praises to Him..amen.

Come and See

2007-10-10T16:45:00.000-04:00

Come and see is the only way some of us can believe. Sometimes because something is indescribable or unimaginable you have to follow and experience it yourself.
Jesus used the terms 'come and see' and 'follow Me', as did his new disciples. John 1:37-51 of the Bible describes Jesus encounters with John, Andrew, Philip, and Nathaniel.(King James Version)
37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
The terms are still the same. We need to still call to others to check it out and see for yourself. Until people accept Jesus as Savior, Lord and Healer, they will not be able to understand His will, His way and His plan and the teaching of the cross will appear foolish to them.
In this passage the question was asked "Where do You dwell?" Jesus now dwells in Heaven in the city of the New Jerusalem. We will see that wonderful place the moment we leave this world if we are believers in Christ Jesus.
We want others to know the Christ and say continually 'come and see'. Read the Bible and gain understanding. Ask the Lord Jesus questions and receive the answers first hand. Find Jesus for you as we have found Jesus for us.
He is so recorded. He is so described. He is so apparent in His Word the Bible. He is as close to you as the mention of His Name and wants to show Himself to you in every area of your life.
The invitation to come is in the last book of the Bible also written by John. Revelation 22: 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
20He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I gave this article to Ezine articles.com but they responded with an opinion from #32 that it had no content, no information etc. I did not realize that everybody already knew this tidbit of information .lol Bless you for reading this far then...Dona

City Visits with Jesus

2007-09-24T13:53:00.000-04:00

In the city of Nain after Jesus came there was no more need except in the unemployment area. Even then Jesus offered to employ them in the gospel. Starting in the book of Luke in the Holy Bible (or Holy book of books) we envision Jesus and His entourage approaching the gate to Nain. Coming out was a funeral procession heading to bury one of their dead.

Jesus spied the one most affected by the trauma and spoke an order to the mom of the corpse. Luke 7:11-23 (King James Version)

11And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.

12Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.(Could you stop crying for a stranger?) 14And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

16And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.( WOW!) How will we react when this happens in our cities? What kind of a reception will there be for such a person as Jesus with that authority? Wouldn't you want that kind of timing for someone you love? The fear of death would leave us immediately and we would want Jesus to stay with us forever.

20When the men were come unto Jesus, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Imagine that! The lame and crippled cannot stay lame and crippled, the blind cannot stay blind, the lepers cannot remain lepers, the aids and plagues of any kind cannot be there, the deaf cannot stay deaf, the dead cannot stay dead, the poor are not to be poor anymore. A city where there are no blind, no deaf, no sickness, no disease, no cancers, the dead live again and there is no need financially. Who could possibly be offended? Those who rely on negative happenings to make their living.

Doctors, lawyers, funeral directors, crematoriums, disability factories, pharmacists, drug companies, traffickers, pushers and every negative profession would have to relocate or change careers. No more paraplegics or quadriplegics, weak or insane among us.

Is any of this possible where you live? Yes! Jesus will gladly come to your city and perform all the miracles, signs and wonders. When? Pray that it be soon for your sakes and the sakes of all your families, friends and neighbors. Invite Him daily and expect that He will answer that prayer with perfect timing. He is scheduled to show up as soon as Father God gives His Son the word. In the meantime we can lay hands on the sick and see them recover too !

God Draws Lines and Sets Limits

2007-09-20T13:48:00.000-04:00

The greatest Architect, the most powerful limit maker, the best designer is God.His temple plans perfect, His rules for His House regulated by Him spell out man's place in the scheme and God's place as separate. In the book of Ezekiel of the Holy Bible chapters 42 to 44 explain a lot of what our Great God Jehovah designs, limits and plans for His space.

Did priests die who did not keep the rules? Yes! Did man ever lose sight of who's who in the zoo? Yes! Was there ever a time that rules were broken and mercy applied? Yes!
Even now God has places for His use and His rules apply. In our time the Lord of Glory reigns in areas of our lives. Thankfully mercy also has a part in some circumstances.

In Ezekiel the lines drawn produce squares.When we are square with one another it means that all debts are paid (or forgiven) on both sides of the relationship. When straight ways are followed there are no hidden agendas or unscrupulous dealings.

The sin of man is to not walk straight and not be square with God. We try to hide our self-seeking, adulterous ways but they are open and they are clear to our Lord.

To us blood produces stains but to God the blood means cleansing and purging and purifying. Jesus the Christ did all that with His blood and sprinkled the mercy seat in Heaven for us. Our soldiers give their lives' blood to cleanse the world of captivity and release love to their fellowman.

When we surrender ourselves spirit, soul and body to Jesus Christ and as Paul the Apostle says in Romans chapter 12 be living sacrifices as is a reasonable service , we are in fact being what the Lord desires. To be at the Lord's beck and call is to be that living sacrifice, wholly acceptable to God.

God has drawn lines for His people to operate on. Stay within the lines where Holy Spirit sets us and we do well. Outside the lines is spoiling is spoiling the picture therefore messing up your life.The greatest architect knows limits are necessary and good. Limits produce the best design and keep order in the house.

Jesus Christ provided the pattern for eternal life. Following Him, doing exactly what He says when He says it will work the perfect pattern. Sweet!

God has Certain Orders, Certain Choices and Certain Desires

2007-09-19T17:51:00.000-04:00

As long as God's people honor his certain ways we are blessed and we are kept by His power. To do our own thing for God is not acceptable.To learn His desires and act on them is pleasing to Him and can and will result in our happiness and joy in knowing we are doing His will.

1 Chronicles 13 in the Holy Bible tells us how King David of Israel was attempting to retrieve the ark of God.(Not Noah's Ark) David was not using God's rules to move it and as a result a man dies. The Ark of the Covenant is left untouched for 3 months before David finds out how he was supposed to do it. In the following chapters 15 and 16 Israel uses God's method and God's choice of people to do the job. All is well.

In chapter 17 David wants God to be in a house like the palace but God says no as He has dwelt in tents for several generations now and prefers it. His choice it is. Then God decides that one of David's sons will build God's House later so David starts to gather building material for that time to come.

Why shouldn't our Father in Heaven have preferences? How is it that we suffer consequences when we fail to ask His opinion or desire?Who is this King that accepts only His will to be done? God, the real true and living God. Recently I read a strange article in a news page online that was today actually and I wondered at such stupidity.

Wed Sept 19, 11:32 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A court in Nebraska is being asked to cast judgment on the ultimate judge -- God. ADVERTISEMENT

State lawmaker Ernie Chambers filed a lawsuit Friday against the Almighty -- acknowledging he/she goes by numerous aliases -- for causing "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues" and other alliterative catastrophes.

The suit, Chambers vs God, asks the court for a "permanent injunction ordering defendant (God) to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terrorist threats" which affect innumerable persons, including Chambers's constituents.

It asserts that God is "the admitted perpetrator" of such acts and said that God's omnipresence gives the local Douglas County District Court jurisdiction in the suit, adding that God's omniscience eliminates the need to issue a formal notice of the lawsuit.

Chambers told local media he filed the suit to make a point about frivolous lawsuits frequently seen in US courts, citing a recent one against a judge.
He asked the court to award him an unspecified summary judgment against God, or, in the alternative, issue a permanent injunction against God engaging in the damaging acts cited in the filing.
Neither God nor his/her spokespersons could be contacted for comment. (end of article)

We can praise and bless His Name and exalt Him above all else.We can enjoin others in a corporate praise and worship. That is His will and way and plan and complete desire. How dare we try any other way but His. Our own ways lead to death. We must find out what our Lord God Almighty desires and just do it. His will, His way, His plan.

Holy Spirit Given to Give Gifts

2007-09-18T15:08:00.000-04:00

Sometimes things are not the way you were taught and you find it out as you travel through life with the Holy Spirit as your guide, teacher, and helper. Somehow I had the notion that He could be gotten by simply asking for Him from Jesus. When I read about His coming in the Book of Acts the second chapter it seemed that everyone present received His Presence. And so it was.

What I failed to understand was that when He fell on others later on it had something to do with Peter and John who are apostles of Christ. Philip did not have that power or gifting nor did Stephen although they were full of the Holy Spirit themselves. When I received Him it was after a lot of tarrying and pleading that was probably unnecessary. What I needed and finally got to was a man of God who was gifted in that way. Surrender to God's way of doing things seemed to be what worked.

Holy Spirit is a gift from Jesus Christ who is given to gift the Church of Jesus Christ in whatever way He deems. Some people ask Holy Spirit for certain powers or gifts and others use the ones He has installed in them at His coming to them. He has the authority to give whatever He chooses whenever He chooses to whomever He chooses.

So if you desire Him to be present in you find a person gifted in giving Him by laying on of hands and prayer. The Father in Heaven gives His Spirit to those that truly love Him. Therefore you may or may not receive Him if the love of God is not in your heart. He will not be gotten for gain nor can you woo Him if you are not sincere.

We do indeed need Him to get through this earthly time His way. We need to be taught, guided and helped in every area of existence to accomplish what we were put on the earth to do. I have heard of the Holy Spirit falling on people who are very alone and very in need of His help or are so in love with God that they are pining away for His presence. He knows when He is so wanted as Jesus and Father God send Him then.

We should leave it up to Him as to what gifts we can handle as some of the gifts as so in demand that it is a bit overwhelming to the gifted one when others find out they have what they are looking for. All of the gifts have a godly purpose and are not for personal consumption or gain. Being famous for what ever gift or gifts He bestows on you can change your whole life whether you like it or not but withholding is not allowed either or at least I would not recommend it Jonah.

The Toronto Blessing outpouring of the Gift called Holy Spirit is an example of how great a hunger there is for God and His Gift. Without Him we are dry and thirsty. With him we overflow.To experience Holy Spirit in daily life is way far different from the usual. He will take you places doing things that only He could talk you into. He gives you such courage you will surprise yourself in situations that he makes for you.

What would you chose? Dull and boring humdrum or exciting and invigorating. He is life eternal so there is no boring places in Him. Life will not just pass you by as He enjoys and likes to share it all with us. It is the Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom and His kingdom is peace, joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost. He has not given us a Spirit of fear but of power,love and a sound mind. We need Father's Gift to be gifted and to give to others whatever He gifts us with.

Dona Hatherley creates roads to wellness in all areas of life by pointing out ways and means as well as the expectations you can have from God's viewpoint.

Vipers Become Lovers

2007-09-14T12:15:00.000-04:00

John the Baptist, son of Zacharias, received his word from God in the wilderness not in a Bible school. His baptism was of repentance for remission of sins. John called the people a generation of vipers fleeing from the wrath of God to come. (Bad fruit trees are hewn down).

He told them to bring forth fruit worthy of repentance. Stop relying on who their father was. It has no bearing with God who can raise up children for Abraham from stones. John said to share all, stop cheating, be fair in judgment and non-violent. Be content with your wages. Luke 3:2-18 (King James Version) Read it here for yourself too. All this preaching and teaching was in fulfillment of the prophet Isaiah's words of the way of the Lord which is to share, be fair, stop cheating and be non-violent.His way is straight. No valleys, no hills or mountains ( no differences between rich and poor). No crooked way as cheaters have. The rough ways of the violent should become smooth with no catches. And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

It was from these prepared ones that Jesus got His first disciples. John further spoke of One coming whose shoes John was unworthy to unlatch, who would baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire to purge, gather and burn the chaff. The disciples had been vipers who turned out to be lovers of God and man after their conversion to the truth of John, Isaiah and Jesus.

Now in our time the same is true as Jesus is coming again. What fruit is in our world still? We see poor, rich, unfairness,violence and worse. We see the murder of the innocents.Love? We hear many sermons about wealth gathering. Some say it is not how much you get but how much you keep. Wrong! It is how much you give to the poor to raise them up that show sharing is still the way of God.

Jesus paid for our sins at Calvary and as we repent and turn away from all this wrongdoing to produce the good fruit worthy of repentance, we shall be saved. It is a daily, hourly repentance.

What the Lord Jesus finds us doing upon His return is what will count for our eternal destination. Are we doing all we can do for the preparation of His coming? Has His message changed? Share,care and love one another as ourselves. Love God enough to obey Him.

Neither John the baptist nor Jesus Christ got to stay on the earth very long. They delivered God's message to mankind and left others to carry it worldwide. When Jesus returns He should still hear us preaching and teaching God's way and He should find the fruit of love strong and healthy among us. We do not want to be labeled vipers (any of various venomous or supposedly venomous snakes,a malignant or spiteful person,a false or treacherous person.)We want to hear well done good and faithful servant. Keep on preaching and teaching, loving and sharing.

Faith Recognizes Authority

2007-09-11T15:04:00.000-04:00

Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith as is reported in the book of Hebrews.
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before
him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne
of God.
Luke tells us in chapter 7 that Jesus says He has never seen such great faith expressed as
when a centurion sends some jewish leaders to Jesus because he needed a favoured servant
healed. He said thet Jesus would only have to speak the word and it must happen because of
Jesus's authority. Faith recognizes authority that is real and given from above.

Jesus was given authority over all the power of the enemy to undo the works of Satan.
Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.When we are authorized to come against
the enemy and subdue him there is nothing to stand in faith's way.

Without the believer's authority there is great danger as told at a later time. Acts 19 (King
James Version)
13Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had
evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

14And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

15And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

16And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed
against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

17And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on
them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Authorized ones are known by our enemy.

Because of what Jesus has done we can have healing as part of the salvation package of God.
Deliverance is also part of it and the authority of Christ by His shed blood at calvary is
given to us to use to undo the works of the devil who has had the authority from God to harm
anyone disobedient to God and His word.

Faith teaches us to repent and receive the salvation package, a gift from the great God
Jehovah Who has all authority to authorize what He will.Jesus said 'I come to do the will of
Him Who sent Me.' Faith recognizes authority and moves to do the impossible.

Build your Queendom

2007-09-08T12:13:00.000-04:00

As a woman I have always felt a lesser being. Men have dominated my life making me feel less able, weaker, slower, smaller, unworthy, undeserving. When the Lord showed me today that I could build a queendom as He granted 5 sisters an inheritance in Numbers 7: 1-7. God made a way for Esther to become queen and over 50 years ago God opened the way for Elizabeth to become the queen of U.K. and the commonwealth of which Canada is a part.

1chronicles 7:24 speaks about a female who built 2 towns, Upper and lower Beth-horon and Uzzen-Sheerah. Her name was Sheerah. I also looked through my Melaleuca leadership in action magazine and realized that it is mostly women who started the businesses. Mostly " " start churches and keep them going volunteering their time and talents.

I must believe that God did not short change me and that everything I need has been put into me for success in every area of my life. To believe in yourself as God does is not a bad thing. Build your queendom from within using what the good Lord has given you to use. It is all good stuff and your sins are forgiven.

The only holdup is your unbelief. Step up and enter in to your destiny. Do well and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Encourage other women to do the same. Start again if need be and expect only good things to come of it.

Jesus had women in His entourage that helped Him build His church. They went with Him to preach and teach the gospel, fully equipped with the same Holy Spirit as Jesus has.

Women are able to surge ahead if given the opportunity. We have business minds and ministry hearts. Opportunity knocks on womens' doors too. The days are gone when you need a cover like Remmington Steele to go forward and succeed. Men are seeing the light. Women can do it too. Queendoms are becoming normal.

Jealousy of God

2007-09-07T13:41:00.000-04:00

A king who revered and honoured the Lord God in every way in Judah called on the great God Jehovah through Isaiah the prophet of God. Judah needed God's intervention to escape the coming Assyrian armies' takeover. God answered and sent the armies back to their land after His Angel killed 185,000 of their soldiers in one night.That is One Angel, one night, one enemy beaten. Wow!

33By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 34For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

35And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 36So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

37And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that
Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

This history is told in the Holy Bible in the second book of Kings, chapters 18 and 19. A huge lesson is to be learned here.

Why did God help Judah and not Israel this time? He found no idol worship in Judah nor any other god being consulted. Judah was clean before Him. Judah was following God alone. Israel had been taken captive because it served other so called gods as well as the true and living God Jehovah.

In Canada, U.S.A., and other christian countries we are as Israel was at that time. We have accepted foreign gods with anti-Christ ways and called it freedom of religion. Idiots is the only term that comes to mind! Our countries were established on the foundation of Christianity. One God, the Great Jehovah, one teaching, one church of Jesus Christ.

Now we wonder why so many nasty things are allowed to happen to us in our nations by the Lord our God, the True and Living One. HELLO!

Warning signs are all around us. We must get back to the God of the Bible, the God of
Israel, Isaac, Abraham and all the wonderful prophets of the Lord. God will not share His glory, His countries, His nation.

Was 9/11 not a wake up call for all of us? Is New Orleans and all the terrible weather not enough to stir us to repentance? We must expel all other teachings and idols and enemy religions before we are taken over by wicked forces and destroyed. Stop the insanity!

The enemy has infiltrated our lands with the guise of new found freedom in Christian societies.Sin abounds and grace abounds much more so far, but our God is a jealous One, a consuming fire and our time is running out to call on Him and have us answered. When He checks us out what does He see? We must act quickly and send out the message throughout our christian based countries. 'Serve the true and living God or leave our lands.'

Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. Do we want the Angel of the Lord on our side or on the enemies' side. God will use them to cleanse His countries. Fast, pray, repent, expel the enemies of God the Lord, the Great Jehovah.

Do you know Jesus as Savior and Lord?

2007-09-06T14:45:00.000-04:00

That is my main concern in posting so much information about God the Lord. If you miss having Him you will spend eternity in a place of torment and fire. Pleeease do not ask for any savior but Jesus Christ. He is the one and only way to God the Father. Call on His name and be saved for all eternity in bliss, in heaven, in His lovely presence. He is the King of kings who has given you the time of day in every way possible. His love endures forever, His mercies without end to those who want Him in their life

Just say Jesus sincerely. Ask Jesus, the annointed One to help you receive and believe before you step into the eternal place. I beg of you to listen with your whole heart and call Jesus. God's Son and God's provision for all the world.

God asks Questions?

2007-09-06T14:38:00.000-04:00

After telling Jeremiah, a prophet of Jehovah God in Israel, what He was planning and purposing to do to a certain nation the Lord asks some questions that only one who knows God could possibly answer. This is all recorded in the Bible in one of it's books named after it's author Jeremiah. Chapter 49:19(b)~

His first idea for a response was 'Who is like Me?' We who know Him have to shout triumphantly 'No one on the earth compares to You Lord God. Since He makes all the rules His next asking about the possibility of anybody worldwide having anything to say about His doings seems pointless. 'Who will appoint Me the time and prosecute Me for this proceeding?' There is no court or Judge in any time zone that could have any bearing on God's time or what people dare to accuse Him of.

The last want to know He has is simply to cause us to look around and realize the truth. 'What earthly national shepherd can stand before Me and defy Me?' Will any government or military leader,army, airforce, navy even consider going against Him or doing the opposite to what He tells them to do? Not if they really know Him. He is unbeatable, unstoppable and unapproachable when He takes any form of action. Wow!

In this same chapter in verse 13 God says that He has sworn by Himself. There is nothing more certain than God Himself. All the earth's people that are, will be or have been put together with every conceivable weapon cannot stop God's plans or purposes. We have no say in what God is about. No king, president or prime minister can change Father God's mind or heart when He decides on any issue. He carries out His plans using anyone including rulers, military, elements of the earth, even animals.

When He says: in verses 32 & 36 'I will scatter them to all 4 winds... I will bring their calamity from every side... verse 35 I will break the bow...( their main weapons) verse 37 I will cause dismay, terror of their enemies... I will bring evil... I will send the sword... verse 38 I will set My throne of judgement there... I will destroy from their kings and princes... and verse 39 in the latter days I will turn back the captivity and restore the fortunes of... then that is exactly what He will do in spite of all else.

He is the great God Jehovah of Israel. No one stands in His way. No one stands against His will. God asks questions just to answer them for us Himself and thus we get to know Who is in control at all times.

Different When Jesus Christ Comes?

2007-09-05T17:35:00.000-04:00

In the Bible there is a story told of a time when a wicked queen was destroyed with her belief system as well as her followers.2 Chronicles 23:17 (King James Version)
Public Domain

17Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Destroying the house of her god Baal brought the question to mind 'will it be any different when Jesus comes to rule and reign on the earth as King of kings and Lord of lords?'

Destroying the houses and priests of abortion, whoredom, gambling, terrorists, deceit, debauchery, hypocrisy, plagerism, buddha, islam, hinduism, publishers of evil, evil movie makers of filth and fashion, pornography even churches that do not follow the Lord Jesus and love God truly is certain.

The earth will be cleansed of all evil and the Lord's house will be honored and lifted up. No more time nor place will be given to any form of ungodliness.

Jesus the Christ will rule with a rod of iron. Correction will come. No escaping His will, His way, His plan. His word will be followed and carried out to the letter. Nothing can be left undone. No one can be lawless any more.The God of the universe will have His way in all things, in all places. What a great day for all the saints and angels of the Lord. Hasten the glorious day Lord God Almighty our Father in Heaven.

The coming of the Lord Jesus is closer than when we believed in Jesus as Christ and Lord. Each day will be gathered in His sight and held accountable for all deeds done good or bad. Wow ! Oh that it were today! Oh that it were now! Come quickly Lord Jesus !!!

Are you ready to see the day of the Lord come? Have you had enough of the wickedness of man? Can you even grasp the awe and splendor of the earth as it truly worships God as King, Jesus as Lord, Holy Spirit as Master. A whole new atmosphere is coming. A wholeness on the earth as at the beginning. Father God in charge! Jesus our Savior ruling and reigning in all of His glory, Holy Spirit empowering all the saints to reign with Jesus!

What a day that will be! What a time to be living on the earth! A thousand years of peace and freedom to do His will! That is fifteen life times for man. Excellent the plans of the Lord God Almighty! Hallelujah!

Investing in companies that destroy and clean up buildings would probably be the way to go . Sudden destruction for theses evil places is imminent. Maybe the angels will be given the job eh? So what do you think? Will it be any different when Jesus comes?

If You can Believe Jesus Christ

2007-09-01T11:47:00.000-04:00

To work for anything or anyone else but Jesus Christ is unprofitable. Food and clothing and shelter can be provided by the Lord who is the Great Provider if you can believe Him. Jesus requires all our time and effort to get His message out. He will take care of all our needs as He depicts in John 6 of His Word. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?language1=en &version1=9&search=John+6

In verse 2 the multitude came to Him to see miracles of healing. Jesus showed them the miracle of feeding 5,000 people with 1 serving of fish and bread from a child. In verse 26 the people caught up to Jesus on the other side of the Lake and He said that they had come to Him now because He had fed them miraculously.

He encouraged them to labour with Him and work the works of God believing on Jesus as God's Son. Why do we not get it? We lack faith in Jesus. Trusting God for all our needs is not laziness. Work His works,signs,wonders and miracles.

Opportunity is all around us and Father can draw whoever He will as Jesus states in verse 44. Are we willing to believe that Jesus is the Christ and His work is to do the will of the Father God in Heaven through us like Billy Smith and his wife of Texas do? Evangelists who work the miracles, signs and wonders see the sweet provision of the Lord of the Harvest. We can too!

Let's Talk About Jesus

2007-08-31T19:12:00.000-04:00

Let's Talk About Jesus
By Dona Hatherley

Let's Talk about Jesus, The King of kings is He, The Lord of lords supreme, Throughout eternity, The great 'I am the way, The truth, the life the door.' Let's talk about Jesus more and more.

This chorus I learned as a child was ringing in my heart one morning and would not leave me until I actually talked to Jesus and asked what it was He was saying by way of this song.

It is noted by His Highest Majesty when we talk to one another about Him whether by voice or email or courier. It is recorded and referred to by the Lord betimes. There are rewards for favourable talks about Jesus, Father Jehovah and Holy Spirit. He hears, He blesses. Malachi 3:16 (King James Version) Public Domain [A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan] http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=46&chapter=3&verse=16&version=9&context=verse

16Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Jesus said that if He were lifted up He would draw all men unto Him. To lift someone up denotes praise and boasting and exhalting with words of their good deeds. Are you drawn to someone who is held in high esteem by your neighbour? Is there an urgency to get to know a person who others adore, love and talk about constantly? Do you feel compelled to ask for more information regarding this wonderful acquaintance?

Let's talk about this Prince from Heaven who came in the form of the most vulnerable of humans, a baby. His purpose was hidden from the majority but the few who were clued in sought Him as Heaven's precious gift to mankind. Jesus was in danger His whole life under Roman rule and kept a low profile until His ministry time at the age of thirty three.

During His preaching,teaching and healing period He was courageous, brave and bold as a lion of Judah. No one compared to Him as was testified by friends and foe alike.~John 7:46 (King James Version) [A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan]

46The officers answered, Never a man spake like this man.(After being unable to arrest Jesus) John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. ( Here the disciples had to choose to remain with Jesus after others left Him)

It is comforting to know that there is no other to look to for salvation, deliverance and redemption. I was glad to hear that He was the one and only to have to go through for my peace, joy and love. What a relief to not have to search any further for the door to Heaven and God the Father of us all. The truth of His message hit home in my heart and spirit.

Follow Me was His simple command. Do what I do and say! Trust Me! Believe in Me! We need this plan more than ever in a day when chaos breaks into our lives and we do not know which way to turn. Jesus said if two or three are gathered in His Name, He would be there in the midst. Wow !

Imagine being in the presence of our king just because we want to be. There is not a monarch on the earth that can bless his or her people that way. Knowing that He will come to us as often as we gather in His name is an awesome privilege the few take advantage of but the majority of believers miss out on.

Jesus the Christ, Son of the Living God and Father of us all, our Creator is waiting to hear His name not in a curse or slang way but in a loving, devotional atmosphere as when Benny Hinn has a crusade. Let's talk about Jesus more and more to have His presence and to receive

His rewards for the faithful. To fear Him is to revere Him. What is not to love in such a Savior? What is not to talk about when we are so loved that He came to die in our stead?

I am having too much Fun !!!

2007-08-11T16:19:00.000-04:00

Having Any FUN Yet?

Recently in an email I was asked if I was having any fun yet?
The author suggested that all work is wrong and fun things to do for a small part of your day is necessary to get you accelerated . Breaking away from the usual to enjoy doing what you really want to is healthier, invigorating and a fountain of youth.

He also requested that his readers make a list of 21 fun things we could do or do do already. He wanted them posted on his blog to encourage folks to enter into a playful time.

I did the list and ended up with 44 things and could have gone on with more. I then realized that I was at the other end of the balance and should perhaps give up a few fun things in order to do well with my on line business.

Here is my list of enjoyments:

1. painting (art)
2.music, guitar,piano
3.weight lifting, rebounding, treadmill
4.walking
5.listening and seeing wildlife
6.reading
7.movies
8.grandchildren visits
9.scrabble
10.Bochii
11.croquet
12.fishing
13.swimming
14.boating
15.parties
16.fixing things
17.teaching
18.gardening
19.photography
20.canoeing
21.telling stories
22.small airplane rides
23.my cat( plays fetching marbles )
24.talking with my 91 year old mother
25.giving time, money,things to others
26.leading someone to Jesus Christ
(my all time high)
27.hearing funny,real stories
28.holding hands with hubby
29.zoos
30.bible study
31.soaking prayer
32.listening to Jesus, Father God and Holy Spirit
33.my church family times
34.dancing
35.bubble bath
36.talking with my daughter and sons
37.watching horses
38.sunbathing
39. eating out
40.learning new things
41.sewing
42.restoring people
43.counseling
44.shopping

what can I possibly give up? I am truly living the abundant life here and now. The only thing that propels me on to marketing is wanting my husband home full time as he has worked steadily for 44 years now. He needs a semi-retirement job and if I do well he can have it.

So how about you? Do you have any enjoyment time? Do you have a list of things you can do in a break for an hour or two midday?

The idea is that if you have something to look forward to midday that it will spur you on to hurry and get through your deadlines. I will have to cut back on all my pleasures and include some good old honest work for goodness's sake.

Try what you need to do and the Lord will bless your leisure time as well. Send me your list if it differs from mine but please no offensive stuff as some have done to the aforementioned author.

One Year Anniversary

2007-08-07T10:38:00.001-04:00

One year ago in May I started a Blog with no knowledge of how it works here on Blogger.
I find it very refreshing to write about things and people that are so important to me.

The learning on the internet is really like a fountain of youth again because you can go in any direction with it and learn even more.

I started a home business, writing articles, communicating via email and studying a lot about health and wellness. Wow! You could spend your life doing all of this and become very addicted to all of it.

I pray for balance in my life but struggle with the temptations to use too much of my valuable time on-line. I guess we all wrestle with our slots of hours, minutes and yes even seconds. I read that every interruption makes it longer to get through your actions as restoring focus is slow.

Being a grandma, mom and wife is a full time experience especially in summer. I love it when I get to query my little ones and my 18 year old grandson alike. The answers are priceless and delightful. Their perspective on all things is wonderful.

Happy anniversary to me! Thanks to Blogger I am more fulfilled. Thanks to Jesus, I have something to say and thanks to Ezine Articles I have readers as well .It is all sooooo good.

WELCOME MONEY

2007-05-29T13:08:00.001-04:00

In days gone by I refused to be rich or marry a rich man. What ever could I have been thinking? Besides noting that the wealthy were targets for the thieves and kidnappers, there was the element of greed, temptation and lust of the flesh, pride of life that endangered my eternal life.
Somewhere along the timeline of this life the conclusion was arrived at that we were far better off making ends meet and living from paycheck to paycheck.

Even knowing that Psalm 24;1
The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein: Haggai 2;8 (King James Version) 8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts and Matthew 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible, I have persisted in my aversion to more than enough.

Until now little has been asked of me in the way of giving as nothing extra was in my hand. My hearts cry for more so that I could give more has not been answered . Is this the way for all home makers or have I missed that boat?
It occurred to this Granny that possibly God the Father had a word for me about this.

Since a lot of our problem with understanding is rooted in our minds where judgments,vows and promises are made I took stock of the way I view finances and why that perspective is mine.

Turns out that fear rules there in my pocket book keeping it tight shut from any incoming filthy lucre. Why? My family means so much more than anything in this present life that a determination to protect them kept the ebb and flow of finances still. Stagnation resulted as no faith was in action that would trust God with all the details.

Jesus told people to give unto Ceasar the things that are the governments and to God the things that are Gods.Matthew 22:18
Therefore taxes must be paid along with every purchase and service and land owned. Silly me messed the message up because of fear.

Recently repentance in my spirit caused an opening in the financial department for all incoming monies. The love of money was not found there but the good use revelation was present. Needs are great in Christ's Church and are to be met by His faith walking christians with open hearts and open wallets to receive and give out again.
No squandering,no with holding of goods or services will be tolerated.

Give and it shall be given unto you, pressed down, shaken to gether, running over shall men give into your bosom.Luke 6:38.
Riches are not to be held onto but shared where needed. My door is now open to winnings and givings and instead of hating money I say 'welcome to money' to be put to good use for the Master of my soul. I will trust the Lord and His angels to cover me and mine in spite of the thieves and robbers and vile kidnappers. After all the chief thief and killer is Satan. Has my Savior and Lord not kept us out of the vilest one's grasp all these wonderful years? Yes He has.

"I had a Dream"

2007-05-25T11:56:00.000-04:00

May 25,'07 I awakened from a morning dream trying to figure
out how I could possibly get a mentally challenged young man
and a wheelchair occupant to go to the back of a line-up in
a financial institution.

Sounds cruel and uncalled for and prejudiced eh? The dream
seemed to be callous, hard hearted and totally lacking
compassion.
In this night vision, we were in a bank I will not name but
was familiar to me. The atmosphere was still and without any
positive emotions.People were lined up to deal with their money.

In a particular rigid row I spotted my oldest grandaughter
Ashley, a 15 year old. Playfully I entered the spot in front
of her. I also ushered a wheelchair person in front of me and
a mentally challenged young man behind him as is my custom
with such folk.

I thought the bank was cold before I acted but I could feel
everyone's blood pressure rising so high that my aura melted
away. Not a word was spoken unless glares count. I spoke
quietly to the content man in front of me that we and our
wheelchair friend should abandon our stolen place and get to
the back of the line. He would not budge.
End of unreal story.

As usual my question went to the Lord of dreams and I asked
for the interpretation. It turns out that no matter what
your relationship, no matter what your position in life, no
matter what your disability, or ability , you never, never,
never get between a person and their money, family, friend
or foe.

World goods,finances and views can be tightly woven together
and cause us to be unkind, unthoughtful, uncaring and rude.
Jesus warns us of this in His Bible.
He says to take no thought for tomorrow, the Lord knows what
we need and give and it shall be given unto us. Love is the
ultimate goal for every christian and time allows lovers to
be at the back of the line, no problem.

Is He saying what I think He is saying?

2007-05-02T20:13:00.000-04:00

Unknown God

2007-04-26T11:39:00.000-04:00

Do you want to know who He is? I forgot that there are some of us who do not really know and cannot know without a preacher. As I studied this portion of script I felt prompted to tell anyone and everyone who has this need that there is a place to find out and accept the 'Unknown God'. A wonderful man named Paul recorded it for us all in the book of Acts,chapter 17:23-31. Enjoy!

for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood[c] every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

More understanding of God your heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ can be found at BibleGateway.com in passages such as Isaiah chapter 42:5-9 and 42:8-20 and chapter 45:5-8. Worship the Unknown God of love and truly enjoy eternal life starting now.

Born Disabled to Manifest the Works of God

2007-04-13T16:20:00.000-04:00

Born Disabled to Manifest the Works of God

A blind man from birth accepted the blindness as permanent and spent his life begging for help. Likewise lame, slow learners, allergic, dumb, deaf,and every birth defected one are living it as a forever condition.
Recently my mindset was changed hopefully forever to accept the terminology 'yesterday, today,and forever', to only apply to Jesus Christ.
I was reading the book of John located in the Holy Bible. In the ninth chapter the question was asked 'who has sinned,this man or his parents'?

King James Version (KJV)
[A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]

John 9
1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

8The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
Jesus healed a blind man even though the man was born that way in order to manifest the works of God. Since I believe Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever I will also believe that birth defects of any fashion whether a part be missing or broken can be healed and manifest as a work of God who created us in the first place.

Fibromyalgia Pain Management

2007-01-19T14:46:00.000-05:00

Because of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and fibromyalgia (a painful autoimmune disease), I was barely coping with life and living. Each day I awoke from fretful sleep saddened to still be alive in such misery.

Finally after 28 years of using every resource available I was introduced to the cure. Forgiveness because I had been forgiven was and still is the main issue. The Lord Jesus tell us that if we forgive we will heal. It works pure and simple. Scientists have acknowledged this to be true as your body becomes acidic with negative moods while every positive feeling brings positive juices to your body that heal it.

After forgiveness you can help the healing along with good food, great supplements and great cleaning and personal care products. Three days after using the supplements and replacing our laundry and dishwasher soap with the cleaning products, I was out of my lengthy, miserable excuse of a life.

It turns out that the chemicals in my cleaning, laundry and dish detergent were in fact slowly killing me. The best ones to use to clean the air as they work have the healing tree oil in them called tea tree oil from Australia. There are different grades of the oil. Use only the purest, highest grade products.

The next thing to tackle is keeping the blood sugar level as it controls your energy . I use a product that accesses the fat cells to use the stored fat for energy. The plus here is that if you are overweight that is a wonderful help too. You also gain longer stretches of go power that enables you to exercise more. It is useful as well to keep the burning in your muscles to a minimum.

Glucosamine in a combination that has something to control queasiness is a must to replenish your joints. Keep it in your system on a regular basis as with anything you take doses of.

Start weight lifting for beginners as soon as you are in less pain as stronger muscles will help alleviate strain. Even if all you can do is sit start with some arm lifts with low weights such as a can of beans in each hand for 4 times here and there throughout the day. You will also be amazed with what a little jigging to music and a little bouncing will accomplish.

Dancercise is now my favorite time of the week with a qualified instructor. It is low impact exercise for balance-control, strength and energy. The group atmosphere is a wonderful healer as well.

Now if I overdo it and have unnecessary pain I take an occasional tylenol or entrophen for the muscles to relax and any inflammation to be settled. Pain management can be tricky but control is key with good food, great supplements, exercise, positive emotional times and learning to 'let it go' so there is no bad buildup in your soul and therefore your spirit and body.

Later posting updating my healing May 2,2002

In the late fall of 2006 (last year) I attended the meetings of one evangelist named Billy Smith who taught faith in Jesus as our healer. Billy looked into my eyes and asked what was my illness. When I said it was a type of arthritis he asked me if I knew what the cause was. I answered 'unforgiveness, bitterness'. Yes, he said and you have tried to forgive alone. But this requires confession before witnesses and agreement in prayer. As he led me in a prayer that others there agreed with ,I was wondrously freed of any pain and disability.
Isn't Jesus wonderful? Yes it was embarrassing. Yes I felt shame. But it was sooooo worth it. Now apart from a whiplash recently experienced I really am in great health.

When You do not Know what You do not Know

2006-10-17T18:31:00.000-04:00

Today I will start right in with the reason I had to write a confession about what I did not Know,in the sense that I understood not. It goes way back to a book called Job. In the thirty third chapter I became aware of my plight and quickly repented of my former action that caused my dilemma.
1BE THAT as it may, Job, I beg of you to hear what I have to say and give heed to all my words.
2Behold, here I am with open mouth; here is my tongue talking.
3My words shall express the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall speak what they know with utter sincerity.
4[It is] the Spirit of God that made me [which has stirred me up], and the breath of the Almighty that gives me life [which inspires me].
5Answer me now, if you can; set your words in order before me; take your stand.
6Behold, I am toward God and before Him even as you are; I also am formed out of the clay [though I speak with abnormal wisdom because of a divine illumination].
7See my terror [for I am only a fellow mortal, not God]; I shall not make you afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon you.
8Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10But behold, God finds occasions against me and causes of alienation and indifference; He counts me as His enemy.
11He puts my feet in the stocks; He [untrustingly] watches all my paths [you say].
12I reply to you, Behold, in this you are not just; God is superior to man.
13Why do you contend against Him? For He does not give account of any of His actions. [Sufficient for us it should be to know that it is He Who does them.]
14For God [does reveal His will; He] speaks not only once, but more than once, even though men do not regard it [including you, Job].
15[One may hear God's voice] in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men while slumbering upon the bed,
16Then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction [terrifying them with warnings],
17That He may withdraw man from his purpose and cut off pride from him [disgusting him with his own disappointing self-sufficiency].
18He holds him back from the pit [of destruction], and his life from perishing by the sword [of God's destructive judgments].
19[God's voice may be heard by man when] he is chastened with pain upon his bed and with continual strife in his bones or while all his bones are firmly set,
20So that his desire makes him loathe food, and even dainty dishes [nauseate him].
21His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22Yes, his soul draws near to corruption, and his life to the inflicters of death (the destroyers).
23[God's voice may be heard] if there is for the hearer a messenger or an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him [how to be upright and in right standing with God],
24Then [God] is gracious to him and says, Deliver him from going down into the pit [of destruction]; I have found a ransom (a price of redemption, an atonement)!
25[Then the man's] flesh shall be restored; it becomes fresher and more tender than a child's; he returns to the days of his youth.
26He prays to God, and He is favorable to him, so that he sees His face with joy; for [God] restores to him his righteousness (his uprightness and right standing with God--with its joys).
27He looks upon other men or sings out to them, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me, or He did not requite me [according to my iniquity]!
28[God] has redeemed my life from going down to the pit [of destruction], and my life shall see the light!
29[Elihu comments] Behold, God does all these things twice, yes, three times, with a man,
30To bring back his life from the pit [of destruction], that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
For many years I have seen this bright spot in my mind's eye, as if I am in a pit looking up at the sky.And I wonder 'how can this be?' Apparently pride and judging others can get you thrown into a pit that you dug for them because you think that they are less than you are.
We are what we are by God's choice. Rich or poor, bond or free is His placement. Where and when is up to Him. Why do we think it has anything to do with us? It is His will, His way, and His plan. Our choices consist of obedience and acceptance or disobedience and rejection of God. Obedience is by far the greater choice. Acceptance of Him as our savior, Lord, deliverer and healer is a must or the pit awaits-hot and horrible, utter destruction.
I feel as if I have been and am in a pit because of my reluctance and wrong thinking of others. Who am I to judge and who am I to condemn? I am nothing without Jesus Christ and His righteousness. How can it be that I did not know this sooner, know with understanding and embrace His choice for all? God help me? God forgive me? god deliver me from this pit I dug for others. Pray for me Jesus. Let Your righteousness be rendered to me because of Your mercy. When will we see and stop digging pits for others? When will we stop judging and stop looking down on anyone?
Idid not know what I did not know.Now I see and say 'You are God, I am not.' End of story. You make oak trees, asp and ash trees,pine and palm trees.Your choice! You make beavers and buffalo,lizards and tree toads. your Choice! Not all of Your critters can be together for many and varied reasons. Your choice again Lord.
Existing in a pit we have dug for others makes me cry' oh God, hear Jesus for us and deliver us from ourselves and our pits. Change us to know You and Your choices. Make us over fresh and new. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit to hear and obey You. Alert us when we start to think in that wrong direction,Jesus, please. Flash the danger signals.Totally change our thinking. Let mercy, pardon,compassion and understanding become normal for us for Your glory, Your praise, Your adoration. You lead, guide and direct- Your choice, Yours. Make us what You want us to be to each other for our God reigns in all the earth.

Obese because You resist God the Holy Spirit?

2006-10-17T18:19:00.000-04:00

A young man named Stephen was stoned to death literally for pointing out to church leaders their resistance to God the Holy Spirit. Read it here in the book of Acts. Acts 7 Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation
Acts 7
1AND THE high priest asked [Stephen], Are these charges true?
2And he answered, Brethren and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our forefather Abraham when he was still in Mesopotamia, before he [went to] live in Haran,(A)
3And He said to him, Leave your own country and your relatives and come into the land (region) that I will point out to you.(B)
4So then he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, [God] transferred him to this country in which you are now dwelling.(C)
5Yet He gave him no inheritable property in it, [no] not even enough ground to set his foot on; but He promised that He would give it to Him for a [a]permanent possession and to his descendants after him, even though [as yet] he had no child.(D)
6And this is [in effect] what God told him: That his descendants would be aliens (strangers) in a land belonging to other people, who would bring them into bondage and ill-treat them 400 years.
7But I will judge the nation to whom they will be slaves, said God, and after that they will escape and come forth and worship Me in this [very] place.(E)
8And [God] made with Abraham a covenant (an agreement to be religiously observed) [b]of which circumcision was the seal. And under these circumstances [Abraham] became the father of Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac [did so] when he became the father of Jacob, and Jacob [when each of his sons was born], the twelve patriarchs.(F)
9And the patriarchs [Jacob's sons], boiling with envy and hatred and anger, sold Joseph into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him,(G)
10And delivered him from all his distressing afflictions and won him goodwill and favor and wisdom and understanding in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and all his house.(H)
11Then there came a famine over all of Egypt and Canaan, with great distress, and our forefathers could find no fodder [for the cattle] or vegetable sustenance [for their households].(I)
12But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our forefathers [to go there on their] first trip.(J)
13And on their second visit Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh and his origin and race.(K)
14And Joseph sent an invitation calling to himself Jacob his father and all his kindred, seventy-five persons in all.(L)
15And Jacob went down into Egypt, where he himself died, as did [also] our forefathers;(M)
16And their [c]bodies [Jacob's and Joseph's] were taken back to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of [silver] money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.(N)
17But as the time for the fulfillment of the promise drew near which God had made to Abraham, the [Hebrew] people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
18Until [the time when] there arose over Egypt another and a different king who did not know Joseph [neither knowing his history and services nor recognizing his merits].(O)
19He dealt treacherously with and defrauded our race; he abused and oppressed our forefathers, forcing them to expose their babies so that they might not be kept alive.(P)
20At this juncture Moses was born, and was exceedingly beautiful in God's sight. For three months he was nurtured in his father's house;(Q)
21Then when he was exposed [to perish], the daughter of Pharaoh rescued him and took him and reared him as her own son.(R)
22So Moses was educated in all the wisdom and culture of the Egyptians, and he was mighty (powerful) in his speech and deeds.
23And when he was in his fortieth year, it came into his heart to visit his kinsmen the children of Israel [[d]to help them and to care for them].
24And on seeing one of them being unjustly treated, he defended the oppressed man and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian and slaying [him].
25He expected his brethren to understand that God was granting them deliverance by his hand [taking it for granted that they would accept him]; but they did not understand.
26Then on the next day he [e]suddenly appeared to some who were quarreling and fighting among themselves, and he urged them to make peace and become reconciled, saying, Men, you are brethren; why do you abuse and wrong one another?
27Whereupon the man who was abusing his neighbor pushed [Moses] aside, saying, Who appointed you a ruler (umpire) and a judge over us?
28Do you intend to slay me as you slew the Egyptian yesterday?
29At that reply Moses sought safety by flight and he was an exile and an alien in the country of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.(S)
30And when forty years had gone by, there appeared to him in the wilderness (desert) of Mount Sinai an angel, in the flame of a burning bramblebush.
31When Moses saw it, he was astonished and marveled at the sight; but when he went close to investigate, there came to him the voice of the Lord, saying,
32I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob. And Moses trembled and was so terrified that he did not venture to look.
33Then the Lord said to him, Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground and worthy of veneration.
34Because I have most assuredly seen the abuse and oppression of My people in Egypt and have heard their sighing and groaning, I have come down to rescue them. So, now come! I will send you back to Egypt [as My messenger].(T)
35It was this very Moses whom they had denied (disowned and rejected), saying, Who made you our ruler (referee) and judge? whom God sent to be a ruler and deliverer and redeemer, by and with the [protecting and helping] hand of the Angel that appeared to him in the bramblebush.(U)
36He it was who led them forth, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea and during the forty years in the wilderness (desert).(V)
37It was this [very] Moses who said to the children of Israel, God will raise up for you a Prophet from among your brethren as He raised me up.(W)
38This is he who in the assembly in the wilderness (desert) was the go-between for the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai and our forefathers, and he received living oracles (words that still live) to be handed down to us.(X)
39[And yet] our forefathers determined not to be subject to him [refusing to listen to or obey him]; but thrusting him aside they rejected him, and in their hearts yearned for and turned back to Egypt.(Y)
40And they said to Aaron, Make us gods who shall [be our leaders and] go before us; as for this Moses who led us forth from the land of Egypt--we have no knowledge of what has happened to him.(Z)
41And they [even] made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol and made merry and exulted in the work of their [own] hands.(AA)
42But God turned [away from them] and delivered them up to worship and serve the host (stars) of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: Did you [really] offer to Me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness (desert), O house of Israel?(AB)
43[No!] You took up the tent (the portable temple) of Moloch and carried it [with you], and the star of the god Rephan, the images which you [yourselves] made that you might worship them; and I will remove you [carrying you away into exile] beyond Babylon.(AC)
44Our forefathers had the tent (tabernacle) of witness in the wilderness, even as He Who directed Moses to make it had ordered, according to the pattern and model he had seen.(AD)
45Our forefathers in turn brought it [this tent of witness] in [with them into the land] with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations which God drove out before the face of our forefathers. [So it remained here] until the time of David,(AE)
46Who found grace (favor and spiritual blessing) in the sight of God and prayed that he might be allowed to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. [II Sam. 7:8-16; Ps. 132:1-5.]
47But it was Solomon who built a house for Him. [I Kings 6.]
48However, the Most High does not dwell in houses and temples made with hands; as the prophet says,(AF)
49Heaven [is] My throne, and earth the footstool for My feet. What [kind of] house can you build for Me, says the Lord, or what is the place in which I can rest?
50Was it not My hand that made all these things?(AG)
51You stubborn and stiff-necked people, still heathen and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you are always [f]actively resisting the Holy Spirit. As your forefathers [were], so you [are and so you do]!(AH)
52Which of the prophets did your forefathers not persecute? And they slew those who proclaimed beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, Whom you now have betrayed and murdered--
53You who received the Law as it was ordained and set in order and delivered by angels, and [yet] you did not obey it!
54Now upon hearing these things, they [the Jews] were cut to the heart and infuriated, and they ground their teeth against [Stephen].
55But he, full of the Holy Spirit and controlled by Him, gazed into heaven and saw the glory (the splendor and majesty) of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand;
56And he said, Look! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at God's right hand!
57But they raised a great shout and put their hands over their ears and rushed together upon him.
58Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him, and the witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.(AI)
59And while they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, Lord Jesus, receive and accept and welcome my spirit!
60And falling on his knees, he cried out loudly, Lord, fix not this sin upon them [lay it not to their charge]! And when he had said this, he fell asleep [g][in death].
How many times has Holy Spirit spoken to us about changing our eating habits? I was told "Change your eating habits." Rather than resisting apple pie, brownies, pastas, breads, donuts, pizza and buttertarts I resisted God the Holy Spirit. Why? What good did it do me? None.
Now I am obese. No, I am looking obese. I am really the temple of God the Holy Spirit. For a few months now I have been negligent about entering into a seven day plan for 7 weeks that is to prepare me to become obedient to God the Holy Spirit.
I received three copies (is that a sign or what?) of the Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin and his 7 week plan of health and wellness. Today the Lord convicted me of being as these church leaders .Not listening to God the Holy Spirit is a terrible and foolish thing to do.
Once again I must repent and turn from my wicked way Lord, and ask for Your kind forgiveness. Please strengthen me and help me to overcome obesity by obeying You. To obey is to be not obese. I wrote in the front of our one copy of Jordan Rubin's book ' The Great Physician's Rx for Health and Wellness' a note. It says 'Why do we resist the Holy Spirit? Stupidity. Fatal.'
Jordan and David Remedios MD are missionaries to the church,bringing us back to right eating, exercise and hearing God the Holy Spirit about practical things.

How to Avoid War

2006-09-08T18:00:00.000-04:00

That is impossible! Or so it would seem. We live is an imperfect world because of all the imperfections brought on by mankind. As I perused the script in the book of Isaiah a story told by the Lord to the author caught my attention and blew my former thoughts away regarding the causes of captivity,war,strife and therefore devestation with the uprooting of millions of people at one time.
In the fifth chapter of his book Isaiah relates a parable concerning his people that God was making it clear to them about their upcoming war. As the story unfolds we read of the causes and effects of what the Lord God Almighty calls unfairness, oppression, greed, sin and iniquity. A complete lack of justice and rightness bring on the horrors of battle which is enabled by the hand of His Majesty on High leading to the dispersion of the innocent and the guilty. Let's read this amazing account of Isaiah's word from His Lordship and consider the work of God's hands and the operation of His mighty plans to stop the filth of man's actions.
Isaiah 5 (Amplified Bible)Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation
Isaiah 51LET ME [as God's representative] sing of and for my greatly Beloved [God, the Son] a tender song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard [His chosen people]. My greatly Beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill. [S. of Sol. 6:3; Matt. 21:33-40.] 2And He dug and trenched the ground and gathered out the stones from it and planted it with the choicest vine and built a tower in the midst of it and hewed out a winepress in it. And He looked for it to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. 3And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between Me and My vineyard [My people, says the Lord]. 4What more could have been done for My vineyard that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to bring forth grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? 5And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten and burned up; and I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down [by enemies]. 6And I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned or cultivated, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 7For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant planting [the plant of His delight]. And He looked for justice, but behold, [He saw] oppression and bloodshed; [He looked] for righteousness (for uprightness and right standing with God), but behold, [He heard] a cry [of oppression and distress]! 8Woe to those who join house to house [and by violently expelling the poorer occupants enclose large acreage] and join field to field until there is no place for others and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9In my [Isaiah's] ears the Lord of hosts said, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and beautiful ones shall be without inhabitant. 10For ten acres of vineyard shall yield only about eight gallons, and ten bushels of seed will produce but one bushel. 11Woe unto those who rise early in the morning, that they may pursue strong drink, who tarry late into the night till wine inflames them! 12They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, neither do they consider the operation of His hands [in mercy and in judgment]. 13Therefore My people go into captivity [to their enemies] without knowing it and because they have no knowledge [of God]. And their honorable men [their glory] are famished, and their common people are parched with thirst. 14Therefore Sheol (the unseen state, the realm of the dead) has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth without measure; and [Jerusalem's] nobility and her multitude and her pomp and tumult and [the drunken reveler] who exults in her descend into it. 15And the common man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humbled. 16But the Lord of hosts is exalted in justice, and God, the Holy One, shows Himself holy in righteousness and through righteous judgments. 17Then shall the lambs feed [among the ruins] as in their own pasture, and [among] the desolate places of the [exiled] rich shall sojourners and aliens eat. 18Woe to those who draw [calamity] with cords of iniquity and falsehood, who bring punishment to themselves with a cart rope of wickedness, 19Who say, Let [the Holy One] make haste and speed His [prophesied] vengeance, that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it! 20Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent and shrewd in their own sight! 22Woe to those who are mighty heroes at drinking wine and men of strength in mixing alcoholic drinks!-- 23Who justify and acquit the guilty for a bribe, but take away the rights of the innocent and righteous from them! 24Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be like rottenness and their blossom shall go up like fine dust--because they have rejected and cast away the law and the teaching of the Lord of hosts and have not believed but have treated scornfully and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.25Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against His people, and He has stretched forth His hand against them and has smitten them. And the mountains trembled, and their dead bodies were like dung and sweepings in the midst of the streets. For all this, His anger is not turned away, but His hand is still stretched out [in judgment]. 26And He will lift up a signal to call together a hostile people from afar [to execute His judgment on Judea], and will hiss for them from the end of the earth [as bees are hissed from their hives], and behold, they shall come with speed, swiftly! 27None is weary or stumbles among them, none slumbers or sleeps; nor is the girdle of their loins loosed or the latchet (thong) of their shoes broken; 28Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. 29Their roaring is like that of a lioness, they roar like young lions; they growl and seize their prey and carry it safely away, and there is none to deliver it. 30And in that day they [the army from afar] shall roar against [the Jews] like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress; and the light [itself] will be darkened by the clouds of it.
In verse 7 the Lord is looking for fairness and rightness. What does He find but oppression and a cry for help. In verse 12 there is no regard for the Lord's work nor considering the operation of His hands. God points out in verse 20 that they call evil good and good evil.Darkness is light and light is darkness to them. In verse 21 He says they think they are wise and prudent or shrewd. This only brings woe from the great creator. We see the injustice in verse 23 even in our day.Because is big in verse 24. Rejection of God and his holy word, His laws that teach us to love and care for one another as well as despising, hating, throwing out our only means of survival, Our Father in Heaven.
Verses 25 to 30 speak of the Lord's anger,smiting, war, captivity, darkness and sorrow. He will use other peoples to declare His war and carry out His fairness that exalts Him above all others and His righteousness wherein is His holiness.
Is it any wonder that the earth is suffering because of greed, injustice, sin and iniquity that raises it's ugly head in unison to stir up the anger of a Just and holy God? War does clean up on all these areas of wrong doing. Our Father and God knows how to put a stop to the world's greed and vanity. He can sweep out any and all of it while remaining exalted and praised and sanctified.

Words and Keywords

2006-09-08T17:43:00.000-04:00

Words, words, words are the ultimate deciding factor in your life and in your death whether temporal or eternal. Words make you or break you in every realm of your existence according to the Word of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jesus is described as the Word who walked among us in John 1 (Amplified Bible) Amplified Bible (AMP) Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation

John 1

1IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word ([a]Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God [b]Himself.(A) 14And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.(E)

Why are we not taught to measure our words carefully? Freedom of speech does not mean that we are free to say whatever we please without consequences. Freedom of speech does mean that we are free to say the right things, at the right time and in the right place.

In Matthew 12 there is an interesting reading written in red because it is what Jesus said. 30He who is not with Me [definitely on My side] is against Me, and he who does not [definitely] gather with Me and for My side scatters.

31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy (every evil, abusive, injurious speaking, or indignity against sacred things) can be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the [Holy] Spirit shall not and cannot be forgiven.

32And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Spirit, the Holy One, will not be forgiven, either in this world and age or in the world and age to come.

33Either make the tree sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for the tree is known and recognized and judged by its fruit.

34You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.

35The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.

36But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak.

37For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

We are justified or condemned by our words. Even on Google, Yahoo, Dogpile, etc. the keywords have to be right or we end up in the wrong place on hellish sites where we are certainly violated in our ignorance. Our everyday words have to agree with God's Word or we end up in the wrong place. It is hell. According to the scriptures 'every liar shall have his part in the Lake of Fire.'

It is awesome and powerful to know the right words to say at the right time, in the right place. A word in season is a well timed, ready to be received and effective thing, in the right circumstance. It can change a life drastically for the good.

God help us to speak out of a right heart as the Bible says 'out of the heart the mouth speaketh'.

To be accountable to the Holy One with our words is overwhelming to say the least. Some of us do not weigh our words on God's balance. We are in trouble. I am told that the search engines on the internet will make or break a marketer depending on the Keywords you use and even the repetition of words can cause you to lose your place in the rankings. Sometimes you are totallly displaced because of your word content. This is devestating to an online marketer.

Jesus said that our words will in the end judge us and decide our place for eternity. Father God will ask us 'what did we say about His Son Jesus and what did we say about His Holy Spirit?'

To speak against Jesus is forgiveable upon repentance but woe is we if we speak against His Holy Spirit. For that there is no getting away with it and results in a permanent eternal place in the Lake of Fire. This warning, these cautions come from God and we do well to heed them. Words spoken and written turn out to be far more than we realize and often, so often we must repent and take our sayings back as long as we are able. Some of our words do cut and wound the hearts and spirits of those we love most.

Words and Keywords hold power and authority.

Why do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

2006-07-27T14:04:00.000-04:00

Being a 'baby boomer' I naturally expect to do well at all times. Today however I was reading a book called Job, written many eons ago. A very informative book about a blessed man who came under a major test.One of three old friends of Job's was commenting on how the wicked are always punished, so Job must have done some very wicked things for all these horrible things to have happened to him, all at once.Job replied out of his misery that he was innocent, and all this wretchedness was from God, anyways. But that he also believed his redeemer lives! Job, chapters 18 and 19.I also believe that, for our Jesus, God's son, is proclaimed as our redeemer , now and for all time. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. That, my friend is life on this earth.The outcome is in the hands of the Lord. Our attitude must be that the will of the Lord be done, good or bad. I have experienced both along with our clan of over a hundred folk.Like the untimely death, of our father who always said 'it is better to wear out than to rust out' and 'I want to die in the bush with my boots on'. He did both wear out and die in the bush with his boots on, while getting his winters wood to keep warm.
Three years later, one our dear brother-in-laws was struck by a flying branch off of a tree that he felled. In his casket he made us smile because he had said that 'he would never be caught dead with a totally bald head' which he had as a result of an operation that was performed on his head after the blow he suffered. His reference to the bald head was because our brother was completely bald at a young age, in his twenties and refused to wear a wig.
Three years after that a young husband of our neice was suddenly killed in a car accident leaving her with a young child and a baby on the way. Bad things do happen to good people.
A sister of 5 years of age was also taken from us, as a result of a drunken driver coming off the road on her side while she was walking to be with her sister.I too was struck by a truck with an elderly gentlman driving, while walking home from Sunday school. Thankfully, my injury was minimal.
Other bad things have happened in our large family, but they are far outweighed by good things like 3 sets of twins, many healthy newborns, all 11 marriages lasting, many graduations, many home owners and a mom that is 90 years young. They are among our blessings.
Now I am truly blessed to be able to say that of late the Lord is showing me great favor in fields I never would have dreamed possible. This article is a dream come true where I can express and vent my feelings of love, joy and peace that are overflowing from my heart.We can truly say that you can trust God and expect Him to get you through all things that happen in your life too. Never despair when you can utter a prayer. He is there for all of us !Recently in July,06 we had a great family reuninon in French River, On, Canada at Deer Bay Park. here our two sisters and brother-in-laws run a small family campground on the French River. They graciously give us all free campsites for an entire weekend and allow us space to play games, have tournaments and enjoy a fishing derby. We also have a potluck supper together as we celebrate a birthday or wedding anniversary or a new baby in the clan.This year was Mom's 90th and the first 5th generation baby was present. Thank God for the invention of the digital camera. Many, many photos give us lasting pleasure as we compare the changes in the children and grand/greatgrand children.
See the hand of the Lord in bringing us all safely to and from the reunion year after year. His love enables us to get along really well. His watch over the weather supplies us with wonderful sunny days filled with laughter and merriment.
As God was with Job, so He has been with us continually enabling us to thank Him in good times and in bad. Nothing takes God our Father by surprise and He prepares us for things unseen .We Bless the Name of Jesus each day in all things. Why do bad things happen to good people? They happen to us all from time to time and it is part of the plan to show us what we are made of and just how much trust we do have in God and His Word.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DescriptionBecause life happens to the best of us and leaves us bewildered and questioning, I felt moved to share my own experiences with others of like kind.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the Author (text)Dona Hatherley creates roads to wellness in all areas of life by pointing out ways and means as well as the expectations you can have from God's viewpoint.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Please the Lord God Almighty

2006-07-27T13:57:00.000-04:00

How To Please The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, MAKER AND CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE GREAT GOD JEHOVAH.
As King of kings and Lord of lords and God of gods, His Worship is also His Majesty and appears in all of His splendour to the saints of Glory.What is there left to do that could possibly get His attention enough to smile on us with the pleasure only a Father of His calibre could know?
HE OWNS EVERYTHING seen and unseen. He as God knows everything.Nothing is hidden from the Lord past, present or future. His awareness of us is total and complete. There is little we can do, say or be that is pleasing to our Father in Heaven unless it is done with a fully surrendered heart.
This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased.Matthew 3:17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.Matthew 3:16-17 (in Context) Matthew 3 (Whole Chapter) Matthew 17:5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.Matthew 17:4-6 (in Context) Matthew 17 (Whole Chapter) 2 Peter 1:17For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.2 Peter 1:16-18 (in Context) 2 Peter 1 (Whole Chapter)
What pleases the best of fathers is to have a son follow in his footsteps of integrity. Doing what he sees his daddy doing, saying what he hears his daddy saying and being what he knows his father is in every good area of dads life.
David was a man after God's own heart. How did king David of Israel know what God's heart was like?1 Samuel 13:14 God spoke to king Saul after he had displeased the Lord.But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.1 Samuel 13:13-15 (in Context) 1 Samuel 13 (Whole Chapter) Acts 13:22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.Acts 13:21-23 (in Context) Acts 13 (Whole Chapter)
The first man that our Lord God created out of the dust only pleased Him for a short span of time. The bliss that Adam knew with the heavenly Father was short lived and changed to great fear after the fall from the highest regard a man has ever had.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
10And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
How indeed can you and I enjoy such a privilege as hearing a well done or a thankyou from the judge of all the earth and Heaven? Peter, James and John were given a clue on the mount of transfiguration. They were told to hear Jesus which also meant obey Him.Matthew 17 1And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
2 Peter 1:17 (King James Version)King James Version (KJV)Public Domain 17For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Jesus said , John 14:15If ye love me, keep my commandments.John 14:14-16 (in Context) John 14 (Whole Chapter) John 14:21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.John 14:20-22 (in Context) John 14 (Whole Chapter
To know Him is to love Him and therefore obey His every command as you would a mighty general in your country's military. For He is greater than any man that has ever or will ever live. There is no comparing the Son of God to anyone or anything. He truly outshines and excels in all and above all.
Are you feeling it is useless to even try to be in a position of honor where His Majesty glances your way with pleasure in His eyes? Does it seem to you an impossible dream that the Lord of Glory, the Great I Am would utter one word of praise to you? How would you feel knowing that that smile, that chuckle you just glimpsed and heard in your spirit was from Daddy God for your heart only?
Pleasing our Almighty God is not the monumental (emphasis on mental) task you might expect. For you see He is always ready, willing and even anxious to express His Love of all Loves to you. He already gave us His most prized person Jesus Christ and will send Him again to the world to recapture the earth forever.
To please the One who loves us the most entails our believing how absolutely true the Bible is when it states John 3:16 (King James Version)King James Version (KJV)Public Domain 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Please Him by believing Him and receiving the rewards of that. John 6:29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.John 6:28-30 (in Context) John 6 (Whole Chapter)
Doing what is right in His sight and like David repenting immediately and making restitution when you fail to move in the direction He has chosen for you. I am writing this article because it is His choice for me. I fought it long and hard reasoning that there are too many voices calling man to repentance already.
Flowers bloom where they are planted among many other plants and so must you and I be what He has decided, where He has picked out for us.That is pleasing to the Great God Jehovah, our Lord God Almighty and Savior of mankind.Wonder no more how you can please Him. JUST DO IT! Passionately, fully given over to His will to love on His Son by loving all those who need His love in word, action and truth.
John 15:12 Jesus said,This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.John 15:11-13 (in Context) John 15 (Whole Chapter)9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

~~~WELCOME to our Blog..~~~

Dona Hatherley creates roads to wellness in all areas of life by pointing out ways and means as well as the expectations you can have from God's viewpoint.

Today I am better than I have been in 28 years. That is how I am able to start this new way of life on line. "How can this be?" you say. I am so glad you asked.

Two years ago Feb.04,04 I was approached, no begged , to try some new products for health. NO, no, no I responded because I was so-o-o tired of promises that did not come true. BUT, I gave in and have not regretted it. I am really glad that these effective products were brought to my attention. Because of hypoglycemia- low blood sugar, and fibromyalgia- a painful autoimmune disease, I was barely coping with life and living. Each day I awoke from fretful sleep saddened to still be alive in such misery.

Three days after using the supplements and the cleaning products, I was out of my lengthy miserable existence. It turns out that the chemicals in my cleaning, laundry and dish detergent were in fact slowly killing me. And the supplements I had tried from various sources were ineffective to say the least. Now I can cope so much better as long as I use the above mentioned products.

Another great discovery is that my sin of unforgiveness led me into this pit and after repenting and publicly forgiving everyone that had ever tresspassed against me I am healing faster. yahoo !!!

As an added bonus I am able to learn again and discovered a love for the internet. Here I can offer folks an opportunity also to join with me getting this wonderful news out to the world. Hope deferred makes the heart sick and I knew that all too well.

Now I can say with confidence that ' there is a way to get well and I can get it to you'. Physical, emotional, financial healing is an amazing outcome that I relish for you and yours with love in Jesus .
So once again I say WELCOME to our blog where we can interact and discuss lovely and not so lovely things pertaining to the Lord God Almighty Jehovah.

From My journal of May 08,06 I requested of the Lord that He would grant me all the promises He breached with my grand parents and my husband's grandparents. According to His word in Num.14:34 and surrounding passages, the Lord destroyed most of His people because of their unbelief and their blatant disobedience. WOW, where does that leave us? Anyway He came good on His promised land with the grandchildren of the few who did obey and believe Him.

That leads me to believe that we too can expect to receive the promise of abundant life with all that entails that our grandparents and parents lost out on. Now you say 'have you lost your marbles ,you cannot accuse God in Heaven of a breach of promise'. No, not me. God himself said it in His own book of Numbers.

Ten times the Hebrew people disobeyed the Lord God almighty ! They Knew His awsome power! They had seen many miracles and heard His thunderous voice. What were they thinking??? Unfortunately their unbelief cost them everything. The same holds true for us with God's Son, Jesus the Christ.

Believe means adhere to, trust in completely, surrender in faith . My folks were poor as was my husbands' people. Neither father could believe that God wanted a 10% offering entrusted to Him that He could multiply back to them. Sad to say, the families suffered needlessly. Therefore the abundant life alluded us all. But now I see that we can receive that promised abundant life that Jesus talked about and poor does not have to be our lot in life. As an apostle of joy says 'I tried poor and I tried rich. I liked rich much better'. The moral of this story is that you too can believe God for the abundant life and the breached promised stuff. Hence we learn and receive at our blog.
