Texting in the chapel.

Good day, afternoon, and evening to you all. I do hope that you all will have a blessed day no matter where you will be on GOD’s earth!

I want to share something with you all. I have a chapel in the building where I work. And on my break, I sometimes go there to get comfort from GOD or pray.

When going into the Chapel this day, two women I work with were in there….texting. it is their business what they do. But when your heart is not right it shows. See, some people who do not have a Bible will use there phone to look up scripture. But this was not the case here for it was very obvious as to what they were doing.

As soon as I came into the small chapel, they rolled their eyes looking at me and with an attitude left. The JESUS in me chased them out without me even saying one word! LOL!!!

I proceeded to get on my knees and did what I needed to do.

Coming back into the office, one complained to another one of her friends that I came into the Chapel. So that I would know exactly what she thought about me interrupting what she and her friend was doing.

I don’t care what she thought. I do care what GOD thinks about me, for it is HIS heaven I want to be in for all of eternity as how GOD sees fit.

They were not in the church because they love GOD. They were in there doing their own thing that had nothing to do with GOD and giving HIM worship.

The fact that when I came into the chapel, and they glared at me wasn’t right by GOD’s ways. These women do not share a loving Jesus heart.

We all need to step back and think about what we are doing in our lives.When we see a person we are angry with for no reason wanting to worship, in the chapel to seeking GOD and HIS divine comfort.

GOD so awesome and forgiving. If either of these people decided to repent and seek after GOD and HIS son JESUS , they would listen to the person.

GOD and JESUS would not have a cell phone in their hands distracting them from listening to their prayers or mine , or yours in need of help or comfort.

Share this blog post and let others get a blessing too from it and some peace. There are always similar situations in life we all share with those who are unsaved and do not want anything to do with GOD in heaven and all of us who do sincerely love HIM.

Ephesians 4:32. Compassion like JESUS!

compassion 2-24-19

Ephesians 4:32

“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

King James Version (KJV)

As we go through life we all may have issues and complications in life that will cause us to go through trails and tribulations that we did not expect to have to go through. For none of us have perfect days.

But for the grace of GOD do we get through things when we trust and believe in HIM. There are distractions in our lives that will cause us to make a wrong turn and stubbornly not listen to our GOD.

GOD sees the whole picture in our lives, so as we go as how HE is leading us, we are remaining in GODS plan for us. Of course we can go on and do things our way, but we as people do not see the whole plan. We do not have this kind of wisdom.

So therefore we should never judge a person for any reason when you see them down and out. For seeing that JESUS has compassion for us enough to sacrifice his life for us on the cross, we can do the same for all people.

judging by stereotypical thoughts that were handed down to you from as a child is not right. You may have never seen this person ever before, so you do not know them at all. A person who is on the street with no place to go, has to have a good reason as to why they are there.

They may have been lawyers, cops, wealthy business people, mothers, fathers, well-educated people or doctors. All you see is someone who is living on the sidewalk. You may assume they are mentally ill, someone addicted to drugs, lazy and does not want to work, or someone who does not want to be around people.

If these people didn’t want to be around people….then why are they out in the open? Out were there is the most human traffic around them? They are usually people who are from the area they are living on the streets from. They used to live in the neighborhood with family, and full-time jobs. Have gone to school and graduated from college too.

A turn of events in the wrong direction.

We all need to learn to have a heart like our beloved JESUS. Many people are so lost that they can not hear the LORD for the confusion that they are in.

Mark 6:34

“And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.”

King James Version (KJV)

Mark 6 verse 36 kjv
Remember we all need JESUS to lead us out of the misery we maybe in….and even in our lowest level of misery. When we are down and can no longer stand on our own, our JESUS will pick us up when no one else will.
JESUS is so awesome. HE was sent to earth by GOD who loves us all so that he sent HIS only begotten son so that we all me live. But we need to believe i n GOD first and foremost and accept JESUS as our saviour.

John 3:17

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

King James Version (KJV)

Love and treat others as how you want to be treated.

May you all receive a blessing from the reading of GODS word and sharing this blog so others may be blessed too!

JESUS is LOVE! He won’t let you down!

Jesus is love 2-17-19
Good morning , afternoon and evening everyone!
I want to share with you a song by a group called “The Commodores” from their Motown CD “Hero”.
When you listen to it…if you have JESUS in you it will make you feel warm and touched. You know JESUS is love because when you talk to JESUS in prayer and just in need of comfort this is the same feeling you get.
This is not the only song I have felt this way, but this is just one I am sharing with you. JESUS is the one you can depend on when people fail you. People will fail you, so putting any dependency on people is not the best thing to do for people are not perfect.
The lyrics to “Jesus is love”
Father, help your children,
And don’t let them fall by the side of the road.
Mmm, and teach them to love one another,
And heaven might find a place in their hearts;
‘Cause Jesus is love.
He won’t let you down,
And I know He’s mine forever,
Ah, in my heart.
We’ve got to walk on, walk on through temptation,
‘Cause His Love and His wisdom will be our helping hand.
And I know the truth and His word will be our salvation.
Lift up our heart to be thankful and glad
‘Cause Jesus is love.
He won’t let you down,
And I know He’s mine deep down in my soul.
Jesus is love.
I want to follow your star wherever it leads me,
And I don’t mind Lord, I hope you don’t mind.
I want to walk with you, and talk with you,
And do all the things you want me to do,
‘Cause I know that Jesus, Jesus is love, I know,
And if you ask, I’ll show love is the word forever,
Ah, in my heart, help me, heart, heart.
I know, I know, I know, I know His love’s the power,
His love’s the glory forever, ever, ever, ever.
Who can bring you love?
Who can bring you joy?
Who can turn your life around?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Who will pick you up, ooh, where you fall?
Who will stand beside you? Who will love us all?
Hey, Jesus, Jesus.
Who can heal your body? Who can make it strong?
Who can help you to hold out a little while longer?
Oh yeah, Jesus loves you, Jesus wants you,
You can call Him, He will answer.
Call Him in the morning, call Him in the evening
Songwriters: Lionel Richie
Jesus Is Love lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
Remember GOD first when you go through your test and trails of faith. As we go through
issues of the day in life, our help will always come from the LORD in perfect timing.
Perfect as only GOD can do as perfect. Praying will have JESUS be the intercessor for us
to GOD.
You maybe going through in your life right now where as you do not understand why you are going through it, have no clue. You maybe going through something where secular and so-called Christians are testing you because of the way that they live and see your JESUS light shinning in you and seek to put it out.
They seek to ruin your good name and integrity and make you look as evil as they are. Stand firm, and keep your faith for your blessing will be coming soon and you will praise GOD for the help.
This is a fallen world. Prayer and clinging on to the savior tight is how we get through this. And you will get through it because GOD the Father loves you so that he gave HIS only begotten son JESUS to save us from our sinful lives.

1 John 4 King James Version (KJV)

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

King James Version (KJV)
Remember with every single sunrise and every breath you take ….JESUS does love you!

J.J. Maslin’s Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project 2018

Brooklyn art library sketchbook project 2018 8

Drawing to give glory to GOD.

Hello everyone!

I am getting back into the drawing that I love to do. One of my daughters who likes to draw well herself is doing the same thing. It is a peaceful state of mind to be in when I draw.

And when it is for my FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS it makes it more special to me. She led me to the “The Brooklyn Art Library” who has been doing this project for years now and I am able to participate now so I sent in for a sketchbook.

The Brooklyn Art Library
Address: 28 Frost St, Brooklyn, NY 11211

Phone: (718) 388-7941

I am a born and raised Brooklyn woman, so this is what got my attention. I do galleries as well, and wanted to do something different and this was it.

They will send you a blank sketch book to put what I call “some of you” into it. And I see so many ideas from other artists who have started on this project before me. All done  with such talent and inspiration that it touched me as well to get going.

But you know what? Seeing that many people have done what was inspiring to them, I had to do the same. For GOD encourages me, HE leads me and makes me feel good and gives me joy. So why not share this joy?

Brooklyn art library sketchbook project 2018

I got the 5 x 7 size and my daughter got the tiny sketchbook.  I found out too late about the tiny one to do , but the larger one is just as cool. I like them both, but seeing I am used to drawing in larger

Penciling my theme and what I was feeling to put my sketchbook under the themes that were given us to pick from. Mine was “This and that” there were no themes for GOD or religion so I picked what they had that would closely fit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My book is in the Brooklyn Art library

“Let GOD lead you” – #S230468

Project: The Sketchbook Project VOL. 14

Current Status: Received — 360.4-10

 

I have sent my book in last month, and I did so via small flat rate USPS box so it would not get squished in any way going to get to its destination in ne piece.  I hope to be able to let you know more about how it turned out. I paid for it to be digitalized so anyone who wants to see it will be able to as it travels around in the book mobile.

I am currently waiting for Sketchbook #15 to arrive here so I can start on it as well.

If you are a Christian artist, sign up for it and spread your joy where ever you can. Its fun when you do it. Many people will like it and some may not. But that goes with ANY type of art.

Peace and many Blessings.

TRUST in GOD!!! Let GOD lead YOU!!

Proverbs 3:5

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” 

King James Version (KJV)

 

Good morning people,

I do pray that you all will have a blessed day today. For this is another day that they LORD has given us to live and give HIM praise!

Each one of us that walk the face of the earth will have our ups and downs. It is how we deal with it and to whom we head to for help.

We maybe going through something where we are out of money to pay our bills like the federal employees that were going through the shut down , or laid off from any other type of job.

We maybe sick going through such a pain and sickness you can not see the end of it as you pray for relief, or it could be a loved one going through a sickness. You may be in tears as you pray to the FATHER GOD for relief from all of this because you can not bear it any longer.

Revelation 21:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

We could be going through something where a person at school, work or even at church is out to get even by trying to steal your joy because they do not have joy in their heart.

Psalms 28:7

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.” 

King James Version (KJV)

I have learned to trust in the LORD more and more each day of my life because not only of what I may do, but what others may try to do to me just becasue I am a child of GOD.

See there are many people who do not know of GOD. They do not know JESUS and why He came to earth. They have no clue. I need to keep my faith on check each and every second of the day.

Any one who loves the LORD will be distracted from our direction, but we do not have to get off track. We just regain our focus and keep trusting in GOD. For there is where the true comfort and joy we all need rests. Some of us may not understand that yet, but I do pray that we all will before JESUS has to return.

Distractions will lead to slipping up. Doing our best to be right can not be done alone. We need JESUS to hold up like training wheels on a bike as we pedal along on the JESUS track. And I will tell you sometimes the peddling gets so hard and almost impossible for me that I need JESUS to make it possible holding me steady and giving me a gentle comforting push! Amen!!!!

Praise GOD and thank you dear GOD for JESUS!!!

Deuteronomy
Chapter 28:1-2

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God

 

Trust in the Lord GOD 2-3-19

 

Find peace, and patience as you pray and ask our beloved GOD for help. HE will help you in all that you do in life, but better than you will ever imagine.

GOD has helped me make it through the things of this world that I could never have done alone, and on my own accord. My understanding on things is limited as a human being. GODs wisdom is beyond our understanding, this is why we NEED to trust in GOD. There is no way we could ever get the whole picture, we as humans have no way of doing so ever.

 

Psalms 147:5

“Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.” 

King James Version (KJV)

Trust in the LORD, pray, let GOD be GOD, wait , be patient, and listen to what GOD is telling you to answer your prayers. Part of the holy communication with you and the LORD is to sit back and listen too!

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” 

King James Version (KJV)

Trust GOD in all your paths 2-3-19

Be blessed and never stressed,  keep hold onto GOD, keep your focus and walk away from distractions that will cause your to get off of the pass to JESUS who will be the mediator between you and GOD.

May all who read this blog with the words of GOD in it be blessed, and those who pass it forward for others to be encouraged as well.

Peace!!!
