Psalms Chapter 34

¹⁷ [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

¹⁸ The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

There are times in this world when situations will come to test the faithful. This is a fallen world, and there are many people walk about causing situations of turmoil. Be it they know it or not. Or even care of they do or not.

They will discourage many and lead them to feel that GOD is not listening, when HE is. HE does hear us and does see what is going on. We need to lean on HIM and not of our own understanding of what is going on in front of us. As humans we can not see the whole picture of things and do not have the wisdom or physical capacity to do so. So this is where our faith is tested and it will pull us through as it grows.

We do not have to worry about what we may “think” our enemy will do or is doing and how it will affect us. Yes you will hear people say evil things about you or what they will do to you. And even try to gang up on you with their friends and fellow evil doers. They are lied to and are led to do evil through the father of all lies and stories. They will use his age-old tactics to bring you down. Make you feel like you have no hope, no one loves you, or you have no friends. That you are all alone with no hope. But his is a solid lie. Remember FATHER GOD is a friend to all who love HIM and so is HIS son JESUS. They are believers bestest friends ever!!!

Evil is evil, a lie is a lie, fake is fake and the evil one will come at you and everyone else here on this earth to distract us from the truth that comes from our heavenly FATHER GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS.

Those that are lost and may think they have great power in politics, business and even on Churches if they are not right with GOD they will have to answer to HIM. Just like the rest of us. They will act as though they are GOD, they have no faith in HIM and feel they can do what ever they please because they were not caught in the evil they do and punished. That no bolt of lightning has come down from the sky to strike them down…yet. They are cocky and mean to everyone that is in their circle.

If you work with people like this they can harass you all day long make you hate your job and feel like you are walking around with a heavy burden. But see when you get like this your faith light or battery I should say is in trouble, your faith battery needs to be charged with the HOLY SPIRIT so you can be strong and make it through what they enemy is trying to throw at you to knock you down.

Here is where the word of GOD can get you going again fully charged and rearing to go!

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

¹⁵ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁶ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁸ Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

These words that GOD says in the Bible will encourage us. The people back in the Bible times went through the same things you and I are going right this very minute. I do so love reading the word of GOD for I feel like HE is talking directly to me. Giving me the comfort that I need 24/7. We need to stay in prayer so that we can hear the encouragement that GOD is trying to give to us.

If you are ill, stay in prayer and let GOD into your heart and stay with you and don’t give up. And praise HIM now, and after when you are healed too!

If you are jobless, stay in pray and let GOD lead you to where you need to be, you never know what beautiful plan HE has for you to get the job you need and will love.

So whatever situation you are in, stay in prayer. Keep your faith. Trust in the LORD 24/7. Dont …..give…..up!!!

If you are harassed in the work place, church, school, or walking down the street just minding you own business…stay in prayer and know that all negative things are not from GOD. They are lies coming from he evil one.

Pray for wisdom, discernment, protection, faith, healing, safety not only for yourself but for all of your family and loved ones too. Pray for your enemies to be saved, you maybe the only one here on earth that will pray for them.

May you all have a blessed, happy, and healthy New Year 2018!

Peace!

You know that the celebration of JESUS coming to earth will be done tomorrow on the 25th of December 2017. It is a holy day where those of us who know the real meaning of Christmas will honor it. It is like saying to the world , yes I have accepted JESUS as my savior. That I am grateful to GOD that He did send His son JESUS to save the world from the nonsense and sins we have all done all of our lives.

Many feel that this is commercialized and that is why they do not celebrate this holy day. But then if you are around these people long enough to understand that they have spent most of their money , time and effort on Halloween.  And this is not a good mindset to have, because it is Halloween that is the commercial holiday that celebrates darkness, evil, and death. Generally this celebration many do not see how evil it is right now because they will do all they want to do while doing works of evil. They got away with what they do, no bolt of lightening had struck at them from the sky sorta thing.

It is so good that we have an understanding , patient and loving GOD. For he knows who will listen and follow HIM and HIS son as best as we can. We can not do all of this alone with out JESUS. And this is why we joyfully celebrate the coming of our savior!

Luke 2King James Version (KJV)

2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

² (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

³ And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

⁴ And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

⁵ To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

⁶ And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

⁷ And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

⁹ And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

¹² And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

¹³ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁶ And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

¹⁷ And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

¹⁸ And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

¹⁹ But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

²⁰ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

.

Thank you FATHER GOD for JESUS at all times now and forever and for all of eternity long!

Christmas is the celebration of the savior of all mankind who have faith and love GOD and his son JESUS, life from the sacrifice from JESUS, GODS son coming to save all of mankind from our sins, HIS light, and all that is good from heaven above.

The things we do in the celebration such as reading the chapters in the Bible in the new testament that will speak of the nights and days before JESUS being born to Mary is awesome . When you think about all that Joseph and Mary went through during the labor, and where he was born. The conditions were not the cleanest at all from what it is told in scripture. Born where the animals would be, and if any of you know what a barn smells like then you can imagine what was going on.

JESUS went through a lot to save the souls of all of mankind from day one of birth. And then, imagine growing up in this world of sinners all around you. Being an adult finally and being accused of things that He did not do. The put to death in a horrible way after being beaten and stabbed too. All for the love of mankind.

I can not understand why people turn away from what is good, loving, peaceful and who would DIE for you. And you know what? People still abuse, and disrespect JESUS to this day. Saying such awful things, and these people are the ones who will not pick a Bible up to read it and see just how much GOD so loved this world. HE gave his only begotten son, to show us just that?

Many of us listen, and many of us mock HIM. But in the end every knee shall bow. They will see JESUS’s face, and maybe remember they will remember you or I saying what we know as lovingly as we know how to save them from being turned away from heaven and coming inside to meet the face of GOD.

Every single person I have met in my life, be it those who did evil againist me for what ever reason, I do pray that they will see the light. That the light from the LORD will shine on them and make it clear to them, and choose to be saved and follow JESUS. For JESUS is the key to the Kingdom.

Not doing good deeds to your friends or people you know or even don’t know. Not saying I believe in GOD and proceed to do what ever you choose in life that is not of GOD. The ways of GOD will get you into heaven. Not the ways of the world.

If you feel you have done things that you are ashamed of and that GOD can not forgive you, you need to think about JESUS. This is why we all need JESUS to b saved from all of the sins we have done our whole lives long.

This is why it is good to read the scripture, and not just take my word for it.

This is why I celebrate Christmas to say to JESUS thank you for coming to earth to save my soul from all of the sins I have done my whole life long.

It is not a commercialized day if you don’t make it as such. Just remember the true reason for the season. The birth of JESUS coming to earth as a little baby. No santa claus, no frosty the snowman, no snoopy , idols or what ever. It is about being saved from our sins through the sacrifice of the cross that JESUS bore.

You would not want your birthday celebrated without you involved in it would you? Then we should not do that to JESUS either. And he is more important than us humans or anything else of the world by a very, very, very long shot.

Yes giving gifts is cool to give to each other as it was done as how it was for JESUS. Not to buy the best and what cost the most, but what comes from the heart. Just like how the wise men did for JESUS. PLease still keep in mind it is the day of our LORD.

I pray that you all will have a blessed Christmas day and giving thanks to GOD for sending HIS only begotten son to save us all who do believe and love HIM and HIS son.

It is so comforting to know just how much we are loved.

Many blessings to the readers of this post and for those who pass and share this post to others.

Peace!

Ten Commandments monument located in Goshen, Ohio

Everyone has a comfort zone in their lives. Something that they hold close to their heart at all times. People who love the world and the ways that the world lives and abides by and those of us who are Christians and do truly love the LORD GOD. Left and right, or up and down, we people choose as to how we want to live.

There are formulas, recipes, instruction books, manuals, and guide tools for every single thing you can think of in this world.  I do mean everything  for non-Christian things and secular things as well. But the one that is the most important guide tool to have in life is the Bible and what is in it. In the Bible you will find the ingredients for a healthy happy life . What the commandments mean to me.

The Ten Commandments.

1 Thou shall have no other gods before me.

This is where we do not pray or put the one and only true living GOD aside and worship anything or anyone other than HIM. Our GOD in heaven. What’s the point? If you seek to get into heaven where you can see GOD eye to eye, why worship anything else?

Thou shall not make for yourself any grave image.

Like Aaron did back in his time making a golden calf to bow down to, worship it and love it. This was made by mankind. That alone will tell you it is not right. No statues of people from in the Bible, or animals, or people not in the Bible. It is not logical to me to do so. Since when as a child I played with dolls. These dolls will not love you back talk to you or think and breathe life. So in comparison, these objects I see some people praying to wont either. The one and only true loving GOD of all heaven and earth will.

Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy GOD in vain.

Well here is the thing, if you do not have faith in GOD you will say what you want. Maybe even more if you see people who do believe in GOD around as though to show them your disrespect to their faith in GOD and GOD as well.  It shows the people who do have faith that you are doing something that is not very wise to do. You will understand in a way you did not expect to. For it is written that every knee shall bow!

Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

Well there are many people who choose to make Saturday their Sabbath day and not the Traditional Sunday. When before JESUS was named the Christ and savior of all mankind, as a child growing up he practiced Jewish traditions. And that was to worship on Saturday. But then when we as CHRISTians that followed JESUS CHRIST we use Sunday as the holy day. For by the calendar I use Sunday is the 7th day of the week.

Some Pastors explained from the understanding of reading the word that the Sabbath was a day of rest made for mankind. And this is according to scripture. “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). This is something that is debatable until we do read the word o GOD. What did JESUS say? In order to know we can read the new testament.

Here is a link to some more info to get started. http://biblelight.net/cbn-sabbath.htm

Honor thy mother and thy father.

I do not call another female my Mother. Period. No other female deserves that respect and honor from me. Nor any earthly man as to be my earthly dad given the same respect. Period. This is me. I see other people will say…”this is my second Mother”. Putting the other woman on an equal level as their natural real Mother.  I can see if a person will say “She has been like a Mother to me for all of the love and help she did for me”. But no, I cannot put woman or man before my Mother or Dad on an equal level.

And I do know there are people who are adopted and don’t know their parents or in other situations. They are your Mother and Father now and are your new blessings. When you have good parents that took care of you and loved you more than they loved themselves, you give them the honor at all times. You will be blessed with a long , happy, healthy life according to what the scripture reads. “¹² “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”

Cool, see how GOD will bless us even more after having good parents? Awesome!!!! For my Grandma, Mother and aunt are strong GOD loving women who took care of me as a child even before they had to do things for themselves. Thank you FATHER GOD for my parents and elders who love me.

Thou shall not kill.

I can see people saying that in self-defence it is different for they had no other way to handle an attack. But GOD said not to kill. Romans 12:19 “Dearly beloved , avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine ; I will repay, saith the Lord”

Thou shall not commit adultery.

See many people looks like today see nothing wrong with this. And when they have this mindset, they assume everyone else is doing this so it doesn’t matter. They will see everyone does it. This is not accurate for there is no way in the world that these people do know what everyone is or is not doing.

It is not just the actual touching a person, it is the thoughts, and looking at a person and thinking of the sexual desires for this person or persons they are drowning in. Porn in any media realm, secular music, famous people be it in show business , church work, or politics . You will find people who are openly admitting to adultery as though they were talking about how they bake a cake. It is nothing to them.

See the current news of all of the men that are caught doing sexual misconduct right from movie stars , politics and churches! PORN is the basis for these sexual addictions! Keep it out of your life and your house away from your children at all times. It is a corruptible evil poison to the mind.

But exposing the youth to this mental addiction is something they will have to deal with their whole life long. They will be a burden to many or annoying with this addiction they will have being exposed to porn and other sexual perversions wherever they go.

They will bring this addiction into any relationship they are in. Marriage will be poisoned and they will always be looking at other people and lusting after them. If they will not stop, it ill break up their family because they put the addiction before GOD, family and taking care of the family.

Thou shall not steal.

We all know about stealing, be it white-collar wall street to petty stealing of candy a child will do. It does not matter who does it , where, or why. We need not to do it. There are some who do this because they want to just eat a meal because they are starving, and only GOD as it is written can be the judge of this and anything else we all do.

Thou shall not bear false witness.

Gossiping, saying things that are stereotypically incorrect about people who you do not know who don’t look like you, spreading rumors out of spiteful means, trying to lie on a person to get them into trouble over something they did not do. What ever, If you are doing this to cause intentional harm and you know that is what you are seeking to do….well then you just bared false witness.

We all have to be careful of what we say and do to each other. We can bear false witness on  person when we lean our own understandings with GOOD intentions. So this is something to think about when we all speak of others.

Thou shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

covet

If they read the BIBLE they would understand this. GOD hates sin, not the people. The sin.

We all need JESUS because we all are sinners. The Ten Commandments are what will put us all in a wonderful comfort zone of peace. You know you are doing your best to please GOD and to say you accepted JESUS as your savior.

I do pray that all who are not saved will be saved from reading this post. because if you have a computer and even reading this off of your phone….here is more scripture you can read to give your more comfort. Here is the link to Exodus chapter 20. I would read the whole chapter so you are not getting this out of context.

May a blessing be given to all who do read this post and share it.

GOD is so cool, loving and wonderful beyond what we simple humans will even understand.

My husband and I want to have a ministry that will touch people as we are led by what GOD will have us to do. This blog is part of it, but we want to do better and more as how GOD will inspire us to do so. We had started a “Go Fund Me Page” for Christian Ministry, https://www.gofundme.com/jjmaslinsartanddesigns.

But because he did fall ill as we were trying to get it to take off, I had to put it to the side to see where GOD was leading us then. Why was all of this happening at this time. Right at the time I started it …..things had gotten worse for him. He woke up needing to be sent to the hospital’s emergency for not being able to breathe.

But somehow we did know, it all was a distraction from the evil one to take us away from the ministry we both wanted to do.

1 Corinthians 7:35

“And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.”

But you know, when you want to do what is right for GOD because you love HIM and HIS son JESUS…..sometimes there will be s bump in the road. Our bump in the road came when he became so ill that he had to in the hospital for months. It was a very hard and trying time for the both of us.

The very people who we had thought were good friends, Christians that attended church every single Sunday and who knew the Bible from end to end looked down their nose at us and turned their back to us.  Some secular people thought it was funny to make light of what we were going through and laughed too when they found out that my husband was ill.

All of the hospital stays and emergency rooms at all hours of the day was grueling. Seeing doctor after doctor until there was one doctor that tested to see what was wrong and found out what was wrong. They could not see what we were really going through, only the LORD could. I am so grateful for GOD helping and healing us. I am sure there are many of you who have gone through something similar. But I tell you from my heart, I was faithful to GOD and prayed every single night, during the day as well.

Philippians 4:6 – 4:9

⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

⁹ Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

This is all to say that all of us need to depend on GOD and not the world and man kind. It has brought us a new understanding in our faith and closer to GOD. You grow every single day I faith anyway as you learn how to lean on the LORD. Walking by faith.

But the true friends that we found to be true when told of what we were going through came through so fast and asked if they could pray for us even before we could say all that was wrong. My one good friend from childhood sent me a bottle of blessed oil that you see in the picture.  She had her Pastor bless it and sent it to me in the mail for we are miles apart right now.

James 5:14

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:”

King James Version (KJV)

When you have trust and faith in GOD and need HIM to lead you in all you that you do, HE will do just that. I tell you I could not get through with all of the doctors appointments, paying bills as best as I could, making sure that he was taken care of , going to work full-time, and then the house as well. I needed and still need the strength to get through every thing still from here on in life.

The healing of the hands and the anointing of the oil is awesome. You have the faith of all of the people who blessed it and sent it to you along with your own to get the need taken care of. Faith is what you need to get this understanding. And you will get the understanding from having a loving trusting communication with GOD the FATHER and HIS beloved son JESUS.

The oil my friend sent to me that was used was olive oil. And I tell you as soon as I touched the box it came in even , I felt relief. I know that GOD and JESUS are with me anyway, but it is good to feel another blessing.

 Leviticus 8:12

“And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.”

King James Version (KJV)

I will say that the oil is comforting with your faith and prayers from all who are children of GOD as you are too. It is such a blessing to be around people who are believers, brothers and sisters in the LORD.

Here are some more verses on anointing oil in the Bible.

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Anointing-With-Oil/

Be encouraging and encourage each other. We all may have a cross to bear that you are unaware of just because all of us handle things differently and have a different bond with GOD the Father than the next person. Let GOD be the judge of what is in a person’s heart and lean not on your on understanding.

When you get past the situation you will be able to give thanks to GOD. For now, my husband is back home and getting the rest he needs and doing better! See what I mean? GOD is good!

Ephesians 5:20

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;”

King James Version (KJV)

Praise and glory be to GOD ALMIGHTY at all times now and forever and forever more and through all of eternity long.

May a blessing be to all who read this post and share it.

Peace.

Smile, GOD loves you!

I love to look at happy faces. And when it is a beautiful baby smiling , I think that this child is blessed to be able to have a happy smiling face like this little one. The caption is what I have thought as well with the little ones…..they are being told they are loved and have the Angels from GOD watching over them.

2 Timothy 4:18

“And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

“How I sleep knowing GOD is in control!” I have seen this in the babies of my own.  This photo by the way is from #INSTAGRAMs #Frobabies. So I am sharing this blessing with you all.

When we get older and are introduced into the world we loose that comfort zone like this when we happen to meet up with people who have turned away from GOD or do not have faith and feel they don’t need GOD in their lives.

You know, when you see a person who is always seeming happy and do have their lives together….like they don’t have a care in the world? Or they don’t have a cross to bear or no issues that are concerning them at all? We should not judge. We all have things we need GOD to help us with, burdens that we need to leave with GOD because only HE can fix it. Only GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS. These people are smiling becasue the LORD is giving them pure heavenly joy through it all.

But you and I do pull through it and you will smile because you know that the FATHER of all FATHERS is looking out for you. Holding you close to get you through it all. Like the baby below.

Here is another picture from #Frobabies that just made me smile was a Dad holding onto his baby. The baby has a burden right then with the oxygen tubes, and the Dad is showing so much love in this picture holding on to the little one.  I got inspired and wanted to share my thoughts on how I feel that GOD does for us but on a greater scale.

John 16:33

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

I come to the FATHER all f the time with a burden and HE gives me comfort and joy each and every time. It is done with HIS hands , holding me close to HIM. Keeping me safe at all times in my life! GOD is the perfect loving heavenly one and only true living GOD of all time and eternity!

Me being a grown woman now, I still smile and feel like the first picture knowing that our GOD is in control. You may get an upset once in a while but your faith will keep you settled in heart and mind. For the FATHER and HIS SON JESUS will give you the comfort that you will need.

Isaiah 54:17

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”
These scriptures can be found at this link about “Protection from evil”.

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Protection-From-Evil/

And you know with faith you can see the word of GOD and HIM leading you, just where you need to go, and whom HE will send in your life that some how both of you can help each other. GOD the FATHER speaks the truth, and so does HIS son JESUS. And we need to remember that GOD sent HIS son JESUS here on earth to save us from all of the sins we ALL have done our whole lives long. So when you read the word, know it is GOD telling you and I just ho much HE does love us!

Philippians 4:8 – KJV
