LIVE LOVE

Without. Running on E. Starving for affection. Untouched. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually neglected. Hurting desperately, longing for change. Most of these words describe families around the world. People that exchanged vows and made promises, "for better or worse," and then let their love grow cold. Worse can come quickly if you or the person you are married to is not with you truly in their heart. Starving for love... sadly, barely touches on what many individuals in the Body of Christ are experiencing. Why? Fear mostly. Lies. Unbelief. Greed and selfishness. Anybody want to show the world with their life..."GOD IS LOVE..." I John 4:8 If we would grow a backbone where our wishbone is, many many would be delivered from their self made hells and would choose the way of the KINGDOM of God. Oh that men would worship the God who made them and ask him for direction and walk in humility and live in the freedom He gives!

How do you know? When will you know? What do you think you know? "God speaks one way and yet another though man may not perceive it." (Through Rick & Bubba or Job 33:14) There are 'Words of Knowledge' and there is self deception. There is gathering to you what your itching ears want to hear, and then there is true discernment that comes through the Holy Spirit. Just because someone says they have the Holy Spirit does not mean they actually do. Test every spirit. More frequently than we realize we interact with angels of light (and I don't mean the good kind.) Peeps in the body of Christ strongly convinced, fully believing, that they have heard from the Lord on a certain issue or matter that they were seeking confirmation on. Along with visions, dreams, and confirmations, they have received other "words" from random individuals that confirm the 'words' they previously received. It is downright scary when their "words" include others ...

My dad passed away 11 years ago. He was an infantry sergeant in the USMC. He served in the vietnam war. Forty years ago he became a vietnam disabled veteran. Just yesterday my mom received a package in the mail from USMC, they finally got around to sending my dad his metals. Evidently paperwork was misplaced sometime between battle, surgery, or his date of discharge. I know at least a few folks that are seeking earthly recognition, working themselves to the bone for what? Exerting energy on wordly achievements, temporary titles and positions that cannot and will not satisfy. It is good to work diligently, as unto the King. Quite a few people aiming for and working towards retirement. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. As the system decays, some of the stuff people build their dreams on turns to maggots and rust right before their eyes. "They will not be ashamed or disappointed those who put their hope in HIm." Romans 9:33 Fumbling is human nature, downright sad, and disappo...

WOMEN --- We need to check our nagging mistrust at the door. Do you honestly think your husband wants to come home to an interrigation? Hows about putting some of that energy and thought into how much more you could be serving him, loving him, and appreciating him. Yes, some of us are good at multi-tasking, but do not allow your thoughts to travel and wonder about in foolish speculation while you're doing housework, taking care of the children, or cooking. There is alot to be done. It's hard to accomplish something with excellence if you are divided and are doing it with half of your heart. Food taste better when it is cooked with love. Home is a place of rest when strife is not a welcomed guest. If there is strife, do not let it come through you. Do whatever you have to do to get rid of a wrong attitude. Cry your eyes out to God, go for a run, jump in some icecold water. Do not allow a rebellious and critical spirit to be in you, bitterness, envy, or resentment is all that wil...

Mmm this is a sore subject that many probably would like to avoid. Plenty of avoiding the issues are going on these days, so I'm going to address it and possibly give some of you a bloody nose. MEN - Let's talk about what we are not talking about. Those who claim to be Chrisians, followers of Christ, husbands and fathers who have allowed hateful, cruel, and worthless things to come out of your mouth. Destroying the very ones you were created to protect and cherish. Shut the hell up! There is no excuse for your behaviour, your lack of self control, your filthy cowardess self righteousness. Giving place to the devil by stabbing your own flesh and blood. Assaulting your wife, sons, and daughters with arrogance and pride and sickness of self. The ungodly treat their families with more gentleness and compassion than you. You wonder why your prayers are not answered, but you have not the slightest bit of remorse for your harsh dealings and ill treatment with your covenant partner. T...

How can the older teach the younger, if the older folks don't begin to take some steps towards maturity themselves? Some people are in a forty or fifty year old body, but their maturity level is not a day past ten years old. Let's face it. Immaturity strikes again, day after day, all over the place. Why? Because we refuse to face the issues, we avoid the facts and conflicts, and this has been the habit since our youth. It's what we are used to so we just keep on going in that same mentality, immaturity. Maturity comes when we make ourselves vulnerable, when we are willing to pass through whatever might be coming. It is good to face difficulty and conflict. Overcome the obstacles and deal with the problems and hardships of everyday real life. Then you will begin to get a taste of what mature adults must grow through. A part of growing up is taking responsibility, wrestling through the good and bad, and patiently enduring and attempting to comprehend people, personalities, si...

So you ever wonder why your prayers are not answered? Or does it seem that maybe God is not hearing you? What could possibly be wrong? Afterall, doesn't God love us all and isn't he there to give us whatever we want, whenever we want, no matter what? Maybe according to the world's religious standards, but the one true living God is not what you make him out to be. He cannot be controlled. He can be pleased. He can be sad and sorrowful and hurt. He can be loved and honored and cherished. So what could be preventing your answers from coming? (in the event that you do pray) "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me..." Psalm 66:18 "For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths." Proverbs 5:21 "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." Proverbs 16:77 News from the motherland -- you cannot do whatever pleases you and think that God is okay with...
