Psalms 126:5 Context

2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 

3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 

4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

5They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

 6He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Child crying tears of joy.

Hello everyone , than you for stopping by to read my blog! I do hope you are all well and good. I hope you all are able to get out where you are and see some sunshine.

I want to share a blessing with you that has happened to me. We were having issues with our car. So my husband asked our Pastor if there was any mechanics he knew that could help us get the car worked on. He mentioned a man who was a member of the Church whom he trusted to get his car what it would need done.

So, my husband made an appointment and was able to get things done for our car. New brake line was put it in and then the inspection was put on the car and it passed! Prayers were answered! And we thanked our GOD with big smiles. All we had left to do was to pay the bill for the repairs. We knew through us praying the car would pass inspection! Expected blessing!

Philippians 2:13

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

King James Version (KJV)

Unexpected blessing was next. As my husband went to pay the repair bill for the brake line….he was told the bill was already paid for! I did not see it coming and I cried! Just like the child was surprised when he saw his room in the video!

Already paid for in full, just like our JESUS has paid in full for our salvation! We owe nothing!

GOD worked through the people in the church to help us and pay for the car to be fixed. There are not too many Churches out there in this world that will do that. And this is the 1st time it has ever been done for us.

This is what a Church family is. Your family that us united by the body of CHRIST, not just by blood lines as your natural family at home! This was awesome for us, just like the child in the video with his Mom.

Our GOD knows what we need and will supply our needs, and we at times may never say a word. But GOD knows our heart. HE knows what we are feeling deep inside. HE knows what you can afford to buy and what you can not. So therefore this child in the video got a house and a bed of his own to sleep on. This video made me cry, for no child needs to be homeless, from newborn to the elderly. No young child especially for they are the future of the human population.

3 John 1:2

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

King James Version (KJV)

In these times when we are STILL in a pandemic, being kind to one another is healing too. When GOD leads you to do HIS will and not of our own, we will prosper and do well.

Philippians 4:19

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

King James Version (KJV)

Thank you FATHER GOD for all of you wonderful blessings! Praise and glory be to you dear FATHER GOD now and for all eternity long! Thank you for your beloved son JESUS!

Have a blessed day everyone, share the blog so others will be encouraged too!

Peace!!!

Psalms 23:4 Having comfort in our Father GOD!

Psalms 23:4

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

King James Version (KJV)

Good day everyone, I do hope all of you are safe and sound. Fear not in this time of the pandemic for our FATHER GOD has all of us protected who do believe in HIM and love HIM too. Cool! 🙂

In these last days and trying times, have no fear for our beloved GOD is in control at all times! Even as we sleep.

Thank You Father God for all that you do. As trusting very young children towards our good earthly dads…we reach out to YOU.

We all need to be aware of what is going on about us and continue to watch and pray, and listen to what our beloved GOD is saying to the whole world. The saved and the unsaved as well too. Be prepared and do not fret.

I am in the process of preparing with the upcoming seasons and signs. Get your house in order and make sure you have food. Yes our GOD will supply, but it is up to us to listen as to how HE is supplying it.

If you garden or can your food, this is a good time to get your canning jar when you see them on sale. Lids and bands too, can not have enough of them.

Luke 21:11

“And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

King James Version (KJV)

Information about food storage

I came across many people who know about food storage on YouTube. But those who mention our GOD and who do pray I tend to pay more attention to. The videos you see that I have posted are as such.

Homestead Heart’s video on canning BUTTER!

Ezekiel 14:13 KJV

“Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:”

I say all of this so that we will remain in prayer and listen to what GOD is saying. Pay attention to the signs. Read the word of GOD which will be a part of letting us all believers know what these signs are.

Just be closer to GOD, focus on HIM, tell your loved one to do so as well. Many of us may have people who are not saved and can not understand what is happening and still are in the love of the world and its sinful ways. Pray that they will be saved, and accept JESUS as their Savior.

1 Corinthians Chapter 3

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, [ye are] God’s building.

Hello everyone!

How are you doing today? I do pray that all is well. For this is another day that the LORD GOD has made for us to live in and to give HIM praise too!

As we meet new people each day we may have a conversation that is just a general one of the weather or something like that. Or even the cost of living. Those of us who love to talk about how good GOD is and HIS son JESUS will always find a person who feels the same as you do, and will be able to give a testimony on the greatness of our GOD.

This is good to do, for there is always someone who will overhear what we say as Christians and may need to have encouragement in their lives. I do so feel that you do not actually need to talk directly to all people. Let them see the fruit you bear so that a seed of faith can be planted in them.

Even though I confess to knowing JESUS and have accepted JESUS as my personal savior, I still so do enjoy hearing the word of GOD from one person who has the same mindset as I do. I feel connected and charged when I do. So sharing the word does the same for me as hearing it.

Planting the seed of GOD’S word to all who have an ear. Those who may want to know a Christian , and will come to you when they may need an encouraging word. They will then know who they can come to to even pray for them.

Many people were talking about GOD and prayer when the COVID19 first came about early this year in full force. Then , slowly crept back into their old sinful habits . Being mislead by others, who have little faith and wisdom of the word of GOD. They seemed to have forgotten like the israelites in the day Moses how the LORD GOD has pulled them through the pandemic alive.

So now the pandemic is on the rise once again from those who have lost concern for being careful and clean about things. Passing this deadly pandemic about, not understanding what they are doing and have done.

This pandemic will be around as long as those who do not care about it’s spread.

And this is something to think about. All of us who stay in prayer, keep our faith and trust in GOD will be led by HIS wisdom as what to do and be safe. GOD will answer your prayers in these times like HE has done so before for you when you prayed and HE answered you.

Encourage others to pray and read the word. For the word is so very comforting. I have read passage in the Bible that have meant one thing to me, and then the next time more was revealed to me the next due to what I was going thru for the next time.

Feed your mind and soul with the word of GOD. So that you will always feel full and satisfied with GOD’s love and JESUS that is in your inner soul!

Feed your mind so that the ways of the evil one will not clutter your thoughts pr distract you from the ways of GOD. It is the presence of GOD, being in heaven that you seek, to be with HIS son JESUS for all of eternity in peace.

Planting the seed of faith with all who listen, give them a chance to know the truth if they never have heard the word of GOD. And if they have heard the word then it will remind them of it too.

Have a blessed day, share this blog and pass it forward to others so that they will get a blessing too. Thank you for stopping by! 😀

Peace!!!

Proverbs 24:19 “Fret not thyself because of evil men…”

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone!

Thank you for stopping by to share the love of GOD and for HIS son JESUS with me.

Life between heaven and hell. Why is there evil in the world? Why does GOD allow evil to exist? We all are living in a fallen world from the original sin. And this is the result of it. What was chosen then to do against GOD’S will was the 1st rebellion.

And we as the children of that have been either choosing to follow GOD’S will with the help of JESUS, or disobeying GOD.

Many people love money and power and will do all kinds of evil to get it. So, with this in mind , this is why there are poor people in the world where they have nothing because it was denied or taken from them by force , abuse , deception or lying. And this is not a new thing. People in the Bible have been deceptive. Look at what the servant of Elisha named Gehazi did in the II Kings chapter 5. He was greedy and got punished for it.

When people do evil they do get punished and will be judged by our GOD justly and perfectly in GOD’s way. We may not see it happen as how we as the victim may want it to. But GOD does do what is needed to protect us all who truly do love HIM.

Ecclesiastes 12:14

“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”

King James Version (KJV)

The evil one will distract us from the road of righteousness, and will do all that he can to turn us away from GOD.

  1. Taking prayer to GOD out of school, and replacing it with wiccan celebrations (halloween) and other idol worshiping. Not a good thing.
  2. Celebrating halloween that is a wiccan holiday for those who worship satan, be it at the workplace and in our schools. Having our child confused with candy and dressing up as fun and getting good tasty treats.
  3. Having our children around other children in school who do not believe in our FATHER GOD influenced to do things that are not good and say that it is and it is fun. This is why we need to always pray for our children and read the word with them everyday too. For everyday the evil one will try to steal our children’s souls.
  4. Men and women who want to be the opposite gender that they were born to be altered to resemble the opposite gender. They can not be changed to be anything other than what they are. They have gender dysphoria that can be cured with medication so they can live a normal hetoralsexual life. It is a mental thing, as an example people like Bruce Jenner has the same mental condition and has impregnated more than one woman before he said he wanted to be a woman….see this link. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7746615/Gender-dysphoria-curable-scientist-claims.html
  5. GOD wanted us to be fruitful and to multiply , and this is genocide from evil on all of mankind. Mocking what GOD made right. Once a person is tricked and confused into surgery…they can not have children. And they should never marry and adopt a poor child into a house of confusion of 2 men (or 2 women) pretending to be male and female or any same sex relationship. Marriage is a sacred event made by GOD. Not mankind. This is GOD’s way of how GOD wanted things to be. I am just a messenger who loves GOD and HIS word. https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2018/03/21151/
  6. Vauling money and power more than people. Being greedy and lying to get whatever it takes to have power. So now we have a generation of people who do not love GOD but money, and know of no moral ethics. So they, the 20-somethings, do not understand the things that they do may not sit well with GOD more so that any other generation. Not good.
  7. Not listening to or understanding that our beloved FATHER GOD is warning us all through this pandemic COVID-19 how we need to repent from all sins.

1 Timothy 6:10

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

King James Version (KJV)

Pastor Ravi Zacharias, I listened to him speak for years and he had passed away May 19th 2020. I do miss him speaking, but it is good that we have YouTube to hear him speak on this issue of evil in the world.

You may not agree with me, but I do ask that you read the word of GOD. Just don’t take my word for it. Study it for wisdom, pray to our GOD for wisdom and understanding first and foremost. For GOD’s words are true. The confusion of this world is not of GOD.

We ALL are in the middle of Heaven and hell.

The evil you see is a small taste of hell, and the good you see is a small taste of heaven. I think this is why we go through what we do, to choose what path we want to walk on to get to heaven or hell. If one loves sin well you can see the confusion and destruction they “think” want to be in. Until judgement day arrives at any time from this second on.

Those of us who love GOD already know what joy truly is. What will make us smile and feel an inner joy that gives you a wonderful warm comforting feeling within us at all times. We will have hard times to get through, but the key word is we will get “through” them with our beloved JESUS.

Romans 8:18

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

King James Version (KJV)

I pray that you all will have a blessed day, a peaceful day and that our beloved GOD will give you all the comfort that you will need! Thank you for stopping by, and feel free to pass this message forward! Let me leave with you this last bit of scripture to read and remember…..

Revelation 21:4

“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.”

King James Version (KJV)

Peace!!!

Leviticus 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols or graven image.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by today.

Today is another day that the LORD GOD has made! I thank GOD for a sunny day today. We could have snow and I would rather have summer time weather.

Leviticus 26:1

“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.”

King James Version (KJV)

There are many images of people and things that get in the way of us keeping our attention on our beloved GOD. People since the time when Moses went up on the Mountain called Sinai in Exodus chapter 9… he came down the mountain to see what horrible things the people of Israel were doing when Moses went up the mountain for 40 days.

Aaron made an idol, a golden calf for them by their request for them to worship.

Idol worship is still done all over the world and yet those who do this wonder why GOD has allowed bad things to happen to them. They have turned their back on GOD and will not want to hear people talk about GOD and worshiping HIM. But will want GOD to protect and bless them at all times. They pick and choose as to how they want GOD and HIS son JESUS in their lives.

Which I feel idol worshiping in one of our problems. This idol worship we maybe doing can be money, sex, drugs, people, man made items, such as flags, statues anything of the earth. And we may not even realize what we are doing when we do so! The only being we should have before us is our ever loving GOD.

For an example. I see people get all caught up in the celebration of July 4th, and that it represents the 13 colonies that were free from the king of england. From what I understand as how history explained it when I studied it in school.

They came up with a flag had all of the 13 colonies represented on it. This has been glorified/idolized by many ever since. It is one thing to like the flag and the respect the history of it. But to idolize it no.

Definition of idolize

transitive verb: to worship as a godbroadly: to love or admire to excess …the common people whom he so idolized— The Times Literary Supplement (London)

Isaiah Chapter 44

9 They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

The earth is GOD’S creation. None of us own it. We share, we do not take from others to claim it as your own.

Psalms 24:1

“(A Psalm of David.) The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”

King James Version (KJV)

Greed, hate, and power is an evil condition that has spread this disease all over the world.

Proverbs 8:13

“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”

King James Version (KJV)

See my point is, we need to be unified, and to serve the same GOD, know that JESUS is or savior. Ignore the symbols and idols others make respectfully and move on. For you truly know who should be glorified. GOD and HIS word of GOD.

Don’t idolize anyone or thing on or in this as our GOD has said. For we then are close to making that thing or person a god. Not good.

Exodus 20:3 – 20:6

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

Let us stay focused on what GOD will have us to do at all times.I is so easy to be distracted and get off the tight track. Stay in prayer, keep your eyes on the LORD. Things will get tougher as we go along with the COVID-19 still around. Focus, focus and focus on heavenly things of our GOD at all times and stay blessed!

Peace!

Church Ushers

Hello everyone,

I want to share something with you I remember as a child growing up in our family church. The Ushers. Thy were so polite, neat and well dressed. Pretty much like the pictures you see here.

Picture credits: https://www.nationalchurchushers.org/schoolofushering.cfm

They would always show you to a good seat. Never anything in the back unless YOU asked to sit there.

Picture credit: https://www.nationalchurchushers.org/schoolofushering.cfm

If by chance you needed any assistance they would do their best to give you some help. If a person needed a drink of water because they were feeling ill….they would get it to them asap!

Picture credit: https://www.nationalchurchushers.org/schoolofushering.cfm

They had hand signals that I was unaware of what they were doing at the time too.

Picture credit: https://www.nationalchurchushers.org/schoolofushering.cfm

Oh yeah, and they had on the whitest gloves I have ever seen too.

Picture credit: https://www.nationalchurchushers.org/schoolofushering.cfm

The grand walk they did at the end of service , was awesome. I reminded of a movie where you would see people who were let into heaven walking in there humbly and happy dressed in white to greet our beloved GOD.

Get ready for JESUS so we all can do a grand humble walk into heaven and have eternal peace!

Many Blessings!
