Ephesians 6:11-6:17

JJ Maslins Art and Designs 3 Comments

Hello everyone,

I hope you all will have a blessed day. For each day is a blessing from GOD. And we need to prepare ourselves for the day through talking and praying to GOD the FATHER 1st and foremost! Because GOD is the creator and is in control of all things.

We who love GOD and HIS son JESUS are the target for those who do hate JESUS! We are persecuted each day by those who are against our beloved savior. Some may not even know why they hate you at first sight, but they will let you know in their own way. They can even be in a conversation with another person, turn around and give an evil glare at you.

Ephesians Chapter 6

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:

We must prepare ourselves with scripture, read it and believe it. This is why it was written with the instruction and inspiration from GOD to the apostles for the Bible we need to read for encouragement. It is the recipe for a good life and to walk in faith to please our beloved FATHER GOD.

It is good to know that GOD and HIS son JESUS is on your side. I tell you it is a very secure feeling. As long as you allow GOD to lead you in your steps. When these secular people will test you for whatever reason as to why they do it, stay firm. We may slip but our savior will catch us before we fall. March on, do GODS will in comfort and joy.

Past slip ups and mistakes will remind you each time you remember them to continue to pray. Depend on JESUS, and all HE had done save your soul. Past mistakes might remind you also that you are not perfect and need JESUS to guide you through this fallen world. For JESUS did walk through this fallen world and never sinned, so HE understands. There isn’t any way we can make it through in this world without JESUS.

Be strong and keep your faith. You will be tested. When or if you slip you have JESUS to pull you up. Stay away from those who are not on team JESUS and who do not love GOD. For when these people see that you are a Child of GOD, they will do their best to turn you away from who truly, truly loves you. Our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS.

Peace and blessings to you all.

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

When I was growing up as a child, halloween was all about candy. Trick or treat. I learned about it from attending school. Classmates would bring that celebration from what they have been doing into school.

Or the teacher would bring the idea in to introduce it to us kids by just telling it was trick or treat dressing up to get candy. Good, clean, fun as she explained it.

See, I would get candy when I wanted it all year round. And I didn’t see what the point was with this day to make it more special than Christmas. And halloween was always at night.

As a child, I went to bed at night. I didn’t go door to asking for candy. I saw the only difference between halloween candy was the way it was wrapped for halloween.

I didn’t fit in with kids who celebrated it anyway. Those of us kids that got along were teased because we were weird Church brats. That’s okay, considering how those kids turned out as adults. Nothing good.

Wanting to know more about this , I did research. Halloween has Celtic pagan roots from Europe that were brought here. The pagan pagan was of English, Irish, and Scottish peoples. They worshiped the demon Samhain on the 31st of October every year.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain

I am not telling you what to do, just informing you of what I learned regarding celebrating this event.

You will choose to or and celebrate or not. With anything you do does not have GOD in it and celebrates the opposite of what is righteous, reconsider it. This is your soul you need to protect.

The gathering of your friends and family can be done without adding evil to it. JESUS will return at any time. And to be caught celebrating samhain is not good. 😔

Please research for yourself. Read GOD’S word. Google info on halloween. It is better to repent and right than to regret later from being wrong.

Pre-computer days were like….

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

1 Corinthians 10:31

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

When I was a kid we didn’t have a personal computer. Those computers were only in offices, schools, or any city offices. Like what you saw in the movie “Ghost ” with Whoopi Goldberg.

Imagine that we couldn’t look things up that were current for the moment. Like the weather or to print out needed information or craft patterns or recipes.

I personally don’t know what it would be like without a computer because even our cell phones are hand-held computers.

Sheet music, too. I would have to depend on regular snail mail. Or drive down to the music store to get sheet music. There are no printable pdf files to download to save time and money either

Nehemiah 2:18

“Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.”

King James Version (KJV)

With no computer, there are no updates to go on a computer or having it crash. Losing information you were typing up to save in a file so you can turn it in for your report for school or work.

The thing about this blog is that I can reach people all over the globe. The computer can get it done in minutes as compared to weeks via the postal service.

Matthew 24:14

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

King James Version (KJV)

As in all things we do in life ,we as Christians should put GOD first in all we do in our lives. Give glory to GOD at all times. In everything we can humanly do.🙂🙂🙂

As we download our Bible apps on our phones!

Peace and blessings ❤️

Loving our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS!

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

Not being a perfect person who walks the earth. Only our beloved savior can claim that as when HE walked this earth.

I will say that I do love GOD and HIS SON JESUS with my whole heart, mind soul, and strength.

To be right with GOD is my righteous desire. Heaven is where I need to be when my days are done. To be able to see The Creator of all life.

So I would consider this a trait that I do value.

The people that are close to me be it family or friends thinks the same as my husband and I do.

So when we pray together, there is unity. This is something we all share as a trait as family and friends.

That is a comfort zone. Fall of us to be like-minded.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Thank you dear FATHER GOD!

How do you express your gratitude?

In prayer, I do give thanks to my beloved FATHER GOD and JESUS for all that they have done for my very soul!

Everything I have is from GOD. From my life to all of the things I have, my health, and my salvation to start from. To my family and all that GOD has given me.

Thank you dear FATHER GOD!

On bended knees at night with my hands clasped over a meal before traveling. And thanking GOD for our safe return home.

Thanking him for all of the things he has given me all my loved ones.

For all of the good people I know that love GOD as I do. Who will pray with me when I need it.

For my husband, who is a praying man who loves GOD and his son JESUS, too.

On my knees, I humble myself before a great and powerful loving GOD. The one and only true living GOD. Every night to give GOD thanks.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

Playing my bass guitar perfectly first for starters.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

What skill would you like to learn?

Hello all,

As a child I always loved the Bass. The standard acoustic 6ft tall concert Bass! The sound of the instrument.

Easy enough to plat it pizzicato but harder with the bow. The bow was more for classical music. While playing by hand was more for Jazz.

But if you decide to use your instrument for gospel music, that’s even better! At least this is my opinion. 😄

Psalms 150:4

“Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.”

King James Version (KJV)

Here is something it am working on. “Nobody greater “

Why this one? Because there is nobody greater than GOD. And I love GOD and HIS SON JESUS with all of my heart to play and praise like King David had done in the Bible. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

The tribe of JESUS day. “Day of salvation”! 10/31/23 Leaving halloween alone.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone,

You know what will happen on the 31st of October this year and every year. The holiday that some celebrate called halloween. I don’t think many people even care about the origins of this pagan holiday because they will be partying during that day. Going to bars and getting into trouble from too much strong drink.

With the children getting candy and other sweet treats to eat that is giving to them from going door to door they children are used to this and wait for it every year. Dressing up in customs of witches, demons and skeletons to celebrate death.

See JESUS is the truth and the life. LIFE! Not death which is the opposite of what JESUS is representing to all mankind.

The celebration of a pagan demon named samhain by the ancient Celtics around 1900 years ago in the countries of England, Ireland and Northern France from what I understand from looking thing up. So that didn’t start here in this country of the USA.

The sad thing about this Celtic pagan celebration is that that it is getting more and more prominent each year with the decorations being more and more elaborate. More demonic too.

In these days and times, the celebration of what is righteous and HOLY seems to be overlooked and covered up, put aside. Ignored. The celebration of football gets even more respect with the team colors tailgate parties with elaborate foods and face paintings.

We Christians need to stand up for JESUS. Celebrate 10/31/23 and every October 31st from here on as a blessing of another day of life and not death.

With the creativity I see with those worshiping this Celtic pagan holiday, we Christians can do the same thing but with celebrating JESUS and salvation. Praising JESUS every time we get. Saving souls. Inviting people to do this with you.

Bring a dish, bring your bible, bring a bag of candy and treats to the children will not feel left out. Have biblical period costumes to wear and tell others the meaning behind it. Have bible games to play which will enhance your Bible study.

Talk about salvation, for if you do bring someone to the “Tribe of JESUS” or “Day of salvation” party they will need to understand what salvation is. There is so much we can do to bring people to JESUS. And to leave the halloween for the dead, not for those who live right now.

we Christians need to come to unity on the name of this celebration. I came up with two, but we will need to be consistent on it. What would you call it?

Peace and blessings to you!

2 chronicles 36:16 Messengers of GOD.

Giving glory to GOD and HIS SON JESUS.

Hello everyone

I hope all of you are well. And that our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS is with you at all times guiding you in all you do.

None of us can do well without GOD in our lives. For without HIS light, we dwell in darkness. For GOD’S light is unmeasurably brighter than our sun!

When taking some quiet time by yourself to get a relationship with GOD and HIS SON JESUS, we all will understand the meaning of salvation. Through confession, prayer, and the reading of GOD’S word.

None of us Christian people who are truly saved want to see anyone burn up in Hell forever. We know that the only way into heaven is by JESUS.

This is the very reason why many people tell others about JESUS. This is why there are more and more street preachers and true messengers of faith being seen everywhere you go. Throughout all forms of media!

Romans 10:13 Context

10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 

12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 

13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 

15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 

16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

It is never good to disrespect anyone at any time, especially when you insult a child of GOD. Saying and doing evil things as to stop them from doing passing the word on.

It is important for messengers to get the truth told about the good news of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST. For we messengers want everyone to repent, turn to JESUS, accept JESUS as their savior, and be in heaven when their time is up here on earth.

To carry out the Gospel of JESUS will save those looking for answers to life or have those who are stubborn mock the messenger.

2 Chronicles 36:16

“But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.”

King James Version (KJV)

Many people won’t go into a church when they feel that their sins are too great to be saved. But I tell you the devil is a liar. They can be. The apostle Paul was a sinner. He was killing Christian people and became a messenger of the Gospel of JESUS until he died. He had repented.

GOD is perfectly good and loving. This is why he sent JESUS as a savior. I say all of this, for there might be someone reading this may need to read this to be led to JESUS!

Have a blessed peaceful day !❤️❤️❤️
