LIVE LOVE

There is never an in between is there? We pretend like there is, but the truth will always be one of two choices. Hot or cold. Light or darkness. Truth or lie. Everybody says they love God, but their lives tell the true story of what it is they believe. Many are deceived. Real relationships and true friendship is serious stuff. There is no maybe involved. It's not what you make it. The outcome of your relationship with God or another person is a simple choice. It will always consist of what you have or have not invested. It takes time to know someone. There is a scripture passage that first drew me to reality when I was eighteen years old. "IN THAT DAY YOU WILL SAY TO ME: LORD, LORD I did this in your name and did that and I will say unto you DEPART FROM ME WORKER OF INIQUITY I NEVER KNEW YOU." He's saying this to someone who thinks they know Him. They are even doing things in His name. Hmm crazy huh? Sounds like a Christian, looks like a Christian, but when the l...

I am asking all who believe in the God who raises the dead, sets the captives free, who forgives all of our iniquities and heals all our diseases to pray for my mom. I believe Isaiah 53:5 and I Peter 2:24 and Proverbs 4:23 that clearly states He nailed it to the cross and took it in his own body on the tree, and by His stripes we were healed. His words is life and healing to our flesh HERE AND NOW. (Not later when we don't need it anymore.)

1 year has past since I was in the head-on collision. Thanks be to God for sending His word and healing me just as He said He would (Psalm 107, 103, Proverbs 4). What a faithful Father I have! His love never deminishes for His little ones EVER. If you are someone who has passed through situations that are overwhelming and you have received reports that have come back negative or the circumstances seem to be unchanging, long and drawn out...HOPE NOW IN GOD. PRAISE HIM MORE AND MORE. When my body was racked with pain and I could not straighten up, God sent His messengers (flames of fire/my friends) to encourage me to cling to His word and believe nothing else. (Thank you for visiting me and loving me the way you do my dear friends and family.) What I felt was not what would be if only I would believe. Our thinking always limits us that could be why His word tells us not to depend on our own understanding. He is so much greater! I was told a great numbe...

" And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent..." Acts 17:30 A few days ago I walked on the beach and took some pictures of the oil debris that was washing up on shore. The thoughts that were coming to my mind is: This is out-of-control and uncontainable without the Lord's help, we are helpless. Then Acts 17:30 came to mind. REPENT. ALL MEN EVERYWHERE. REPENT. Throughout the scriptures people willfully sinned and consequences happened, when the people repented their deliverance would come. On the beach today looking at the orange shirts that say COMMUNITY RESPONDERS. Thinking about what would happen if each individual responded to the difficulties in their local community with as much effort and prayer support as possible. Those people are roasting out there on the beach in full gear, walking around with brooms, garbage bags, and dust pans. Gathering up what's being washed up on shore. Something's off wh...

Women who fear the Lord speak right and worthy things. Bless and do not curse. Build up and do not tear down. You are to be a refuge of rest for him, a refreshment, doing him good and not evil all the days of your life. How priviledge I am to have friends that speak praise of the head of their household. How worthy to give thanks and praise for what God has so graciously given. Praise is fitting and right and glorifies the Lord. Weeks ago I was visiting with a husband and wife who greatly reverenced one another. Who clearly had an understanding that as they treat one another, so they intreat the Lord God Almighty.  A few days ago again in another conversation with a different friend, I was exceedingly thrilled to hear my friend thanking God for her husband who is her true friend. She tried to describe how wonderful he is and how much she loves who he is and how he is. I wonder how many spouses murmur, complain, badmouth, and disrespect their husbands thinking that...

"GOD SAID...GOD SHOWED ME..."  It gets old listening to a broken record. Do you realize that your behaviour and speech is continually encouraging others to be just like you? There are multiple forms of manipulation. Emotional, mind, relational, religious, guilt tripping, so forth and so on. Just because a person puts God's name in front of or behind a comment or includes it somewhere while attempting to convince you of his or her point, does not mean that what they are saying is truth. People have personal agendas. Some are obvious and some are well hidden. You have nothing to fear if you have a genuine relationship with your Creator. Practice living His word and doing those things that are pleasing in His sight, and make a conscious effort to examine yourself daily in light of His Holy truth and love. Renew your mind so that you will be able to test approve what is the acceptable, perfect, pleasing will of God.  (Romans 12...

Preparation is a MUST. One day you are here and the next you are not. We do not know what tomorrow might bring. Everything we are or are not doing effects others now and in the days to come. We would do well to remember the benefits listed in Psalm 103. The events of a single day are continually changing. One minute the sun is shining brighter than it ever has and then within that same hour we look up and heavy thick clouds are rolling in unexpectedly. Later on you go for a walk and step in poo, and at the end of your exercise time you are standing down-wind of the honeysuckle bushes. One morning you might be contemplating an idea or possibility, next thing you know you are living smack dab in the reality of that dream coming true.  The fulfillment of it had nothing to with your abilities or lack thereof, but everything to do with the faithfulness of the One who created you and has given you everything you need for life and godliness. We can prepare for...
