Our beloved GOD doesn’t send anyone to hell.

Hello friends!

I have heard many people say that GOD sends people to hell. And that HE hates mankind. This is not true. GOD is a loving, perfect FATHER GOD. If HE were not, then why would HE send JESUS to save our souls?

When you think about it, GOD sent JESUS to save the world and not to condenm it? Did not JESUS come to save all of mankind from our sins? And what about the sacrifice that was made on the cross and the death of JESUS on the cross?

JESUS is a gift from GOD. Our ever loving perfect GOD, who loves us so much that HE sent JESUS as a gift from heaven. A way out of this world into GODs world in heaven. Where there is perfect love and peace for all of eternity long.

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

King James Version (KJV)

Why would our beloved FATHER GOD send us such a precious gift such as HIS only son down to earth to suffer so by the very hand of whom HE came to save?

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8 – But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 John 4:19 – We love him, because he first loved us.

Isaiah 41:13 – For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

1 John 4:10 – Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Romans 8:35-39 – Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?   

Jeremiah 31:3 – The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

1 John 4:8 – He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Galatians 2:20 – I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

1 John 3:1 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Zephaniah 3:17 – The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

John 15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ephesians 3:19 – And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now the devil is telling making lies again as he had done to Eve in the garden of Eden to have her sin against GOD by lieing. And every time there is a chance the devil will lie to get mankind to turn away from GOD, JESUS and all that is Holy by GOD. Telling people that GOD hates them. Now see if GOD did hate us , we all would have been sent to hell.

But those who choose to turn away from GOD, and HIS son JESUS will be turned away at the gates of heaven too. If we reject the one who loves us perfectly and unconditionally at all times….then because we choose to leave from HIM, HE will still leave us alone. GOD is not going to force HIS self on any us if we dont want HIM in our lives. And the very lives HE gave us mind you.

John 15:13

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

King James Version (KJV)

Faith , trust and believing GODS word as true will encourage you. How will we know the truth of we dont read it for ourselves? Turning away from GOD and HIS son JESUS because you feel your sins wont be forgiven is wrong. Reading the Bible will show you all of the people who have sinned and repented and was saved. Starting from Genesis to Revelation.

The disciples in the Bible were not perfect men, they were common men. The woman at the well, the woman that was to be stoned for commiting adutlery. The Bible is very clear about these people. And they choose JESUS and was forgiven. King David was a man who sinned too and was forgiven. GOD loved them and forgave them.

Choose JESUS, repent and be saved. And HE will choose you at the gate of heaven and let you in.

Peace and blessing be to you!

GOD’S Love is perfect!

Hello friends!

I pray that all of you are well, who have stopped to read/share the word of GOD with me will be blessed!

When I think about the perfect, beautiful and ontime love that our beloved FATHER GOD has for all of us mankind, I am humbled!

1 John 4:16

“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.”

King James Version (KJV)

For a perfect, one and only Supreme being to the utmost to love, not only me but all of mankind is so perfectly awesome to beyond human understanding. It is a good thing to trust and believe in GOD!

For our beloved FATHER GOD sent our savior JESUS to earth. To save our souls. To save us from out of this fallen world. And when you see all of the confusion that is going around you, you are happy and more than grateful to be saved and grateful for JESUS.

Zephaniah 3:17

“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”

King James Version (KJV)

For GOD’S love is un-measurabley, perfect, and comforting. HE knows what we need even before we ask HIM. Because we depend on HIM.

JESUS, the one and only son of GOD, shines over us all to be the light. To show us the way out of darkness! All we have to do is accept the love gift of JESUS from our beloved FATHER GOD. Then, I will feel the warm and perfect love from GOD covering us at all times!

Have a blessed Sunday! Pass this message forward so others will get a blessing too from the reading of GODs word!

Peace and blessings!

Proverbs 13:24 “He that spareth the rod…”

Proverbs 13:24

“He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

King James Version (KJV)

Hello friends!

I do pray that your day will be blessed and never stressed. For there will be times when we may feel stressed and will need to remember that our beloved GOD is in control at all times. It seemes like every Christian I have been talking to has gone through something to test them. To distract them from our beloved GOD and HIS son JESUS.

But still we pray and move on just holding on to our faith and the promises of the word of GOD. As we wait for we wait for guidence in all we do, GOD is who we count on.

This applies to our children as well. For when a child is left to learn right and wrong on their own. There is a good chance that they were not raised in a home where they are belivers and faithful to GOD. And who has accepted JESUS as savior!

They will learn from the world and become disrespectful, disobedient individuals. What does the Bible say about children who are disobedient?

“Repeatedly, God warns children to honor their parents with loving hearts of obedience” (Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:2). Mouthy and sarcastic children who demean or belittle their parents’ leadership and decision-making are clearly on a path to destruction. King David’s son, Absalom, is one such example in the Bible.Jan 3, 2014″

Have you ever met a child who seemed spoiled and out of control out in public? Screaming at the top of their lungs because they didn’t get their way? Or running about in the store messing with people and things like little demons?

How about when you were in school as a young child, and there was always the one in class that disrupted the class? To the point where the teacher had to stop the lesson and deal with the out of control child? You didn’t get the lesson the teacher was trying to teach as well as the troubled child.

These people grow up and behave the same way in the workplace if they are able to get a job. And the point I am trying to make today if we, as the childs parents, dont discipline our child, they will not know right and wrong. And if we do not teach them the word of GOD, they will not understand salvation. Who GOD is, who JESUS is, and why JESUS was crucified on the cross.

We want our children to be saved from hell. To accept JESUS as their savior. To see the face of GOD when they die.

Bible Verses About Spoiling Children

Proverbs 12:1 – Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Proverbs 29:15 – The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Proverbs 23:13-14 – Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.   

Proverbs 23:14 – Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Pray for and with our children at all times. She them the GODLY way and not let the ways of the world lead them away from GOD and JESUS. For heaven is where our beloved FATHER GOD dwells. There is perfect peace and love there. And that is where all of us who love GOD want to be.

Have a blessed day, friends, sharing the bible, faith, and prayer with your babies!

Peace and blessings!

A blessing ahead for you

Hello friends!

I hope your new year has started off well! I do hope you are all healthy, happy, and blessed! This is the 1st week of the new year of 2023.

Many of us may have gone through some trials and tests of faith. But I tell you, after all is done and the smoke is cleared, we still have our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS!

We have the HOLY Ghost, too. The HOLY Trinity. We are never ever alone! We are always feeling the goodness of GOD’S love.

I have, along with my husband, have gone through some situations that only our beloved FATHER GOD could have intervened and corrected by HIS MIGHTY HAND!

All we had to do was to stay focused on HIM and wait. Things that no human could do to help or with what seemed like what our beloved FATHER GOD had sent a person to help through GOD. The timing was perfect and how it was done!

The fact that we were able to travel again after the covid restrictions were done. That was a blessing! Us getting sick or anything even close to it. Was another blessing! Having a good time seeing family after 3 years was another of the many blessings from GOD⁰!

But then there are things that had happened that had to get fixed in the house. The water and pipes. Geepers, it was something. Our pipes froze so bad we had no water. Had to get water to use for cooking, drinking , cleaning, and bathing. You don’t realize how much you use and need until you don’t have it.

I give GOD glory and honor for all of the wonderful blessings to help us.

Along with other things that seemed to need our attention at the same time, we got physically tired. A nap time was needed. So we tended to our needs too.

I recall as hearing my elders say when you go through stress, the devil is trying to distract you from a blessing from GOD!

I find this to be true. How many times when something would happen that was stressful, a blessing would come in and save the day!

Bible Verses About Blessings

Philippians 4:19 – But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

James 1:17 – Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Luke 6:38 – Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

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.

Numbers 6:24-26 – The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:   

3 John 1:2 – Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

2 Corinthians 9:8 – And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Proverbs 16:7 – When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Deuteronomy 28:1-68 – 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:   

John 1:16 – And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Matthew 6:30-33 – Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?   

Philippians 2:13 – For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Friends, if you are going through situations right now that are testing your faith, remember a blessing is coming.

Don’t be distracted by any confusion around you. It is not from GOD. The devil knows if he can distract you from receiving the blessings he did what he wanted to happen.

So stay in prayer. Please do read the scripture I have put into this blog. We all need to be encouraged about this so we can accept all the blessings our beloved GOD has for us!

JESUS is the light.

Hello friends,

I do pray that you all will have a blessed, happy, healthy new year in 2023! Let us all move on ahead and give thanks for all GOD the FATHER GOD has given us all.

Ephesians 2:8

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”

King James Version (KJV)

And to remember the greatest gift given to all mankind is JESUS! The gift that will never wear out always works and never quit on us will never run out of power and will always be on time.

JESUS is a perfect fit for the soul at all times, always filling and truthful. Glowing with love and compassion. Understanding and will not fail.

Will never leave us to be lost and confused. Our compass in life to stay in the right direction of righteousness.

JESUS is more than a gift. HE is a blessing from GOD THE FATHER and creator. For without JESUS, we can not enter into heaven to be with GOD who dwells in heaven.

Thanks be to our beloved FATHER GOD for all of the blessings HE has given you this past year, 2022, and for those to come in 2023.

Learn from the things that happened in 2022 so that the good can be repeated that you have done. To keep on track and please GOD 1st. This is what I am trying to do as best as I humanly can.

Yes, it is hard to do good for GOD. But we do have GOD’S gift. JESUS!

Have a healthy, blessed, happy, safe new year 2023!

Peace and blessings to you all!

Revelation 7:9. All people, all tribes from all lands.

Hello friends!

I hope all is well with you all and that you are having a blessed day!

When I read the word of GOD, I find peace and comfort knowing just how much HE loves us mankind by all HE has done to show it. It is so comforting to know that an ultimate and perfect powerful GOD can love us creation so much.

Patient with us creation too. Giving us all a chance to repent.

Just think about all of the people you have ever seen or heard from. Starting from your immediate family and friends to total strangers. To those you have gone to school with, college , church, and work with, too. To every voice and face you have had contact with. GOD has seen their face and knows their souls.

Don’t forget those you have never seen yet or may never see or meet on this side of heaven. But we true believers will meet in heaven when we all are called home

And those who have left and gone on before us will be there in heaven waiting for us there! Every one of our loved ones of family and friends.

Revelation 7:9

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”

King James Version (KJV)

No matter what. We do in life or where we go. Even to run with the bulls as a challenge. GOD sees what you do, and me too, as I do this post. Protected by GOD’S perfect grace and love. Personally, I don’t know of any Christians who would go and run with the Bulls! 😁

That GOD is so patient with us mankind HE allows those of us who like challenges to see for ourselves of the consequences if things go a bit off.🫣🫣🫣

I try to plant a seed of faith just because I know that from scripture we Christians are messengers of GOD’S word. As like any other people loving Christian. Once we plant the seed, we step back and give GOD all of the glory.

It will be cool seeing every nation, people, tribes, and language there in heaven 😍! All getting along in one mind and body to give praise, honor glory to GOD! Seeing the peace and love there that we always seemed after.

Peaceful scene. Imagine how much more peace we will have in heaven!

2 Corinthians 7 : 10. Repentance with no sorrow or regrets.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello friends!

I do hope you all are well and safe in these days and times and that your family is well too during these holiday times. As it gets closer to the time when JESUS will return we see things happening that seem to be the warnings in the Bible of things to come. It is good for those who do want to be with JESUS, and sorrowful for those who have been running from JESUS all of their lives.

Those who do not want anything with our beloved GOD and HIS son JESUS will not be going into heaven for they will get what they want. They have chosen to live by their way and not GOD’S on this side of heaven. For why would our beloved GOD force anyone’s soul to be in heaven with HIM if they don’t want to be there?

GOD will give those lost souls what they want, to spend their lives in hell with satan and the fallen angels that listened to satan too. This is very serious as to how we and what we chose. If one does not read the Bible, they are very easily turned away from GOD and HIS directions for a good simple peaceful life. They have no instruction from the Bible.

2 Corinthians 7:10

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”

King James Version (KJV)

I love reading the Bible. For it is the perfect instruction for everyday life. You know in the Bible there are Parables. These Parables are good examples of situations that can happen even today. There is no time limit for sin and the situations sin can cause. People are people. There are plenty of people who are rich and powerful. There are plenty who are so poor they have no food, and are too weak. Too weak to really do anything to help themselves get out of the situation they are in. All or any energy they have is to sit on the ground and beg for food.

Then there are those who are rich and powerful that have so much that they do not care about anyone in need. As to blame the poor for being poor, as though that is what they want to be. There are people who did have money and lost it became poor for whatever reason. Then became homeless. Living on the streets. This reminds me of Luke chapter 16 verses 19 to 31.

Rich Man And Lazarus Parable

Luke 16:19-31 KJV

Luke Chapter 16

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

The rich man named Lazarus died before he chose to repent, living a life with all he had wanted and needed. Powerful and able to buy all he needed. And the beggar was sent to heaven. Comforted by Abraham. Lazarus was left to suffer in hell.

The road we choose in life is up to each of us. When we meet people who do not know JESUS and are very good people , doing what is righteous but not saved they will stand before JESUS to be turned away from entering heaven. There are no words as to how awful that will be on that day.

Our beloved JESUS is the only way into heaven, not by just being nice. It these people had accepted JESUS as their LORD and savior they would have been let into with the other saved souls. And this is my point today in this post. Those who are like Lazarus right now before the return of JESUS who will not change and repent , are enjoying what they have right now. And will have regrets later for all eternity for not turning to JESUS and accepting HIM into their hearts.

Please do pass this message on to others so that they will share the blessing of GOD’S word and know. Know that only JESUS is the way to heaven and not works. And for those who have not accepted JESUS as their LORD and savior to learn what they need to do to be saved. For eternity is forever.

JESUS will be coming soon, we just do not know when.

Peace and blessings to you all!

1 Corinthians 8:6 Hold on to GOD!

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello friends,

I do hope you all are well and safe.

In this day and time, when we focus on the word of GOD we will get so much more that comfort in reading it we know how much our FATHER GOD loves us. Because of how our FATHER GOD is, HIS ways and laws being so true that we depend on HIM.

We all have our Mom and earthly Dads. Be it if they were in our lives in the past or in our lives right now. They are two people who came together to make us. They may have been good to us or not. But these earthly parents were not perfect and neither are we. Our heavenly FATHER GOD is. GOD never sleeps.

Isaiah 41:13

“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

King James Version (KJV)

But the only perfect FATHER we all have is the creator, FATHER GOD of all heaven, earth and HIS creation. Us. HE watches over all of HIS children. HE knows when we are hurting, and gives us comfort. When we call on HIM he is there. HE keeps us safe from those who are wicked.

When you trust in the one and only FATHER GOD you depend on HIM to get you through the days minutes and hours.

Our FATHER GOD has a bond with all of HIS children that is so perfect. And to think about the body of CHRIST JESUS that all of us who has accepted JESUS we are brothers and sisters in the body of CHRIST JESUS. For we all will dwell in heaven together Praising GOD and HIS SON JESUS for their grace and mercy.

1 Corinthians 8:6

“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Our FATHER GOD is all we need to love and lead us through these days here on earth.

If our earthly Dad is not in our lives right now remember FATHER GOD is always present. Holding on to our hands.

Have a blessed day. Know that you are never alone. We have the perfect GOD who watches over us at all times even as we sleep for HE never sleeps

Please do pass it forward and share to others. You never know who may need to hear this message.

Peace and blessings!

2 Timothy 1:7. GOD has not given us the spirit of fear.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello friends,

I do pray that all of you are well and safe and sound in these days and times. And that you all are leaning on the word of GOD and not the ways of the world. For even though the ways of the world is popular, it is not right by GOD and HIS ways.

We should not fall into the peer pressure that is around us, or be concerned about being ignored or over looked either. For those who do these things, are not of GOD. And do not have the love of the LORD GOD and HIS son JESUS in their hearts. It does not matter what the world thinks of us believers for only GOD is in control. It never has been since it is the judgment of GOD that should concern us. How can those who are wicked lead those of us who are righteous follow JESUS?

I will tell younger people the same thing, for peer pressure is horrible for kids in school and even on the internet when they are bullied.

There is no reason as to why we need to fear or concern ourselves if we are liked by those who choose to send their souls to hell? There is no need to fear. Let us all know that our beloved FATHER GOD is in control, HE sees what these evil doers are doing and are plotting against the righteous. They do not even know what is coming for their eyes are not on the LORD, their eyes are on evil.

2 Timothy 1:7

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

King James Version (KJV)

When you listen to the news, or what others are saying about things going on at school or work. Pray. Listen to our beloved FATHER GOD, for many times the people who are talking fear are of the world and they do not depend on GOD. They are not followers of JESUS Christ. They see things so different than believers it is like hearing a person from another land speaking another language. Or culture you are not familiar with!

Just as if this was the tower of Babel of the Bible where people began to speak different languages! ( Genesis 11: 1-9). And you are looking at people who are so different in appearance than what true believers should or would look like ….. it is out of place to you.

So with this worldly culture, is something not to bring fear to us believers. I will tell you, we need to stead fast in study and prayer to our beloved FATHER GOD. The road to righteousness seems to get more narrow as time goes by and the road to destruction gets wider and wider.

Matthew 7:14

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

King James Version (KJV)

The Bible is the written word of GOD. It is to give us comfort and peace and touches the heart of mankind with knowing HIS love is perfect. To show us all how to live without complications…just peace and righteousness. To be in heaven where GOD dwells and there is so much love, no more pain, no more crying, and no more evil should be where all people would want to be.

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.”

King James Version (KJV)

Fear is a liar. It is not of GOD, and it will keep you confused. Let GOD lead you in all of your ways at all times. For GOD knows all things. GOD is the creator and knows how you function. Trust GOD, accept JESUS as your savior if you have not done so as of yet. JESUS may return right now so be ready now!

Pass it forward to others so they will know the truth of GODS word and love too! Please click on the like button below and share this message! Thank you and have a blessed day!

Peace and blessings!
