Ephesians chapter 4 verses 31 and 32.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice

³² And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Recently I have seen two Christian gentlemen end a long friendship over a simple misunderstanding. Both men are stubborn and I have known them both for years. It just does not make sense to me as to how two people who do need to talk to each other on the basis of encouraging each other as only people who love the LORD can.

This new post is to show you that no one is perfect and those who think Christians are, you are very wrong. We are in the flesh as well as the rest of mankind. Those of us who seek after the LORD, love the LORD and have a communication with the LORD still will make mistakes in life . We need JESUS as the rest of all mankind does.

Those that hate the LORD and want nothing to do with HIM will always say mean things about people of faith to try to bring us down a notch or two to proudly say “See, I told you they were like that!” The evil hearted seek to destroy us at any given time for any reason. They will twist things/words around , or lie so as to turn those who see what we go through maybe discouraged into following JESUS. We should not do this to other true GOD fearing Christians.

My point is if you love JESUS you will take the time to see what the cause of the misunderstanding is. Not to sit back and point the finger. I have seen people get angry over things as simple as when you THINK a person sees you in a crowd or group setting and they should speak first. Do you always wait to see the person you know speak first? How do you KNOW for sure if they saw you and are just ignoring you? Have they done this sort of thing to you before or more than once? Think about it. If they have not then are you getting angry with them over something that is uncalled for?

Why wait for people to speak first? They maybe going through something that you may not see because you are thinking about yourself right now. And this is the point I am trying to make with this post.

When you have been a friend and a good friend with someone, and they are not being themselves then something is wrong. Take the time to figure it out. Sometimes it take prayer to gain the wisdom we need to see whats going on. Put the pride aside and seek GOD for answers. Don’t use the Bible as a tool to insult or control people in a harsh way. You will not gain your friend’s attention that way especially if they are going through a “trial” already. You know all well and good , we all will have our trials and tests of faith. You do not need to add to it.

No one wants to be called names or accuse of anything they are not doing. Remember who is GOD and who will be passing judgement when the time comes. This will be done for all mankind. Those of us who do love the LORD and those who don’t. I would hate to see anyone who was blamed for anything they did not do. Friends confront each other face to face. This is Biblical.

Matthew 5:21-24 (ESV)

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to   judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

As fellow believers in Christ, we have become brothers and sisters in the family God and fellow members of the body of Christ. We are individual members, yet we are one in Christ.

It is hard to not be angry with a person until you give it to the LORD for HIM to help. It is impossible to be able to handle a hurt by your self. It is the sin that made you angry, not the person themselves. Because they have judged you falsely which is not a good thing, then hurt you as well by the actions they did. Be it verbally or whatever. That’s like the expression throwing the bathed baby out with the bath water.

Ending a friendship is never a happy experience at all. But you sometimes need to when you clash with those not of the body of Christ. This site at “Beyond today” will get more into this at this link.

https://www.ucg.org/vertical-thought/ending-a-friendship

I even looked up friendship on Wikipedia too. This is something to think about before you cancel out someone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship

Picture is from : http://www.poccc.org/ministries/life-builders/men-of-honor-ministry/

I know when I head off to work there is a spiritual clash/warfare going on in there. Friendship is made with “birds of a feather and they flock together.” Instead of all of us adult people aiming to be polite and get our work done for the company there are people there who do not love GOD or HIS people and can sense us as soon as we walk into a room. We seem to spoil their day by being there to earn a living. Sad.

Keep your faith and allow your friend a chance to open up to you. For if you have known them for years, like 10 or more there is some there that you don’t see for some reason you are over looking. If they have never ever done them wrong do not do this person wrong either. The Bible speaks about conflict. Here are some verses on the seriousness of it. You can click on the link here. Have your Bible with you. There is a full-page of scripture here on “Bible online”

This year 2018 is just whizzing on by, and we do not know when JESUS will return to earth to take all of us who are in the BODY of CHRIST home to be with HIM. I tell you this is where we want to be away from all of the nonsense of this world. Why add to a persons trials by NOT doing the work of the LORD?

Prayer really does heal all things because only GOD can fix it. HE knows how we work and will make a way, HE always has for me and all of my loved ones as well. GOD will for you as well. Just leave it with GOD, don’t meddle in it, trust GOD. Trust GOD. Trust GOD, and trust GOD again staying in your trust in GOD! Your friendship will be when and if GOD sees fit.

May you all get s blessing from the reading and the sharing of this post and the other posts here. I do pray that you all will be well and what ever is burdening you to leave it with the LORD.

Peace!

Good morning to all! I do pray that you all will have a blessed Easter Sunday! For this is the day that the LORD has made! I am so grateful to see another day that our GOD has made for us.

Today is the celebration of the sacrifice that our beloved Jesus has given on the cross to save our souls. Jesus is the only key to heavens gates. And this is so cool, for we know that he has paid the price for all of the sins we all have done in our lives. For not one human can ever go and say they have never sinned. Not one, so this s why we all need JESUS!

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Just think, we don’t have to do any works to get into heaven, no favors, nothing but faith and trust in GOD and JESUS! Trusting in the LORD for all of our needs 24/7. You can have peace knowing that GOD sent HIS only begotten son here to earth to suffer and die for all of us who do believe in Him.

Thank  you dear JESUS for saving my soul! Thank you for letting me know that in the end all of us who do have faith in you and believe in you will have everlasting peace. I just sit back and smile knowing so.

No more heart ache and pain, no more mean people who come about to do evil to other people at any given time, no more death, to be with the LORD GOD in HIS heaven with HIS beloved son JESUS!

Heaven is where all good dwells and there is absolutely no evil! Yes! No sin and people who love sin around you. No temptations and weaknesses of the flesh for we will be all spirit enjoying all that is good from GOD the Father and creator of all heaven and earth.

Awesome.

For this is what JESUS has done for us. To make a way for all who do love Him to get into heaven from all of the suffering He went through as a man here on earth! When you look at Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ ” it will show you as an example of what JESUS had gone through in His short years on this earth to save all of mankind on the cross. But I do want to make this point, whatever color skin you believe JESUS to be pay more attention to what was done to save our souls. Because the meaning and purpose of JESUS coming is most important. You can tell what color JESUS is when He returns for sure besides reading the scripture in the Bible, and studying the history and locations given in the Bible.

Just keep your faith in JESUS, and not the lies given by man to confuse those who do not study the word and turn away from it. This is what will trip you up and distract you from the real truth. Our souls need peace and to be with a loving GOD, HIS son JESUS and all of the angels in heaven!

There is no one that can do what our JESUS did as a man here on earth to save all of mankind. JESUS is without sin, pure, right by GOD. All of the pain and suffering we caused JESUS to go through on the cross. Because of our weaknesses of the flesh. All of it was paid for us 1,985 years ago in Judea from when JESUS died at 33 years old from what I understand. Golgotha “The place of the skull”. Matthew 27:33

One post by a Christian site called “Christians standing with Israel ” gave some information on the location of the crucifixion here at this link. Always when looking things up have your Bible with you. Everyone has their own interpretation of what they have learned and may not be 100% even with the best intentions. Including me.

http://www.christians-standing-with-israel.org/where-was-jesus-crucified.html

So now knowing the tremendous things GOD has done with HIS son JESUS to save us because they love us so, why not listen to what they are saying and seek after them? Get your faith on and find peace. There is no sin that once you come to JESUS and leave that sin alone, love and follow JESUS…that you can not be forgiven. If you do not believe me, just ask JESUS.

Find a quiet place to yourself with absolutely no distractions and talk to JESUS. He will not lie. Ever.

May you all have a blessing from the reading of this word and sharing it with others.

Peace!

Hello everyone. I want to share with you the thought of a long gone tradition of Sunday dinner. Some of us are still blessed to be able to share it with relatives that would travel to see you and share that special meal. And this is a good thing.

What the delicious meal was , it was a way to bind with the family a special way no other human relationships did for me. As a child, it was all cooked by my grandmother who made everything from scratch and very time-consuming to prepare.

Family would come in and smell the food and begin to salivate. Hugging and kissing each other from not seeing each other for so long. We always had the LORD in all we said and did. And when the meal was on the table we all went in to the dinning room to eat.

We sat down and held hands, bowed our heads and prayed. Giving thanks to God for the safe trip to and for the blessing of the meal, and the cook. My beloved grandmother.

Acts 2:46 English Standard Version (ESV)

⁴⁶ And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,

As we live in a new era where things are not the same as it were even ten years ago, both parents have to work because of the cost of things going up so high. My both of parents worked too. And my point today is that we need to find time to pry together at our meals at home. Making these Sunday meals special for the children to remember and understand these traditions. And if you don’t have time to cook, eat out and say grace over your food there and in your car back home mention bible verses that pertain to this bonding.

John 6:35 English Standard Version (ESV)

³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

Children seem to remember scripture better with food when you mention bread…then they will remember the scripture with bread in it. Like they know about the homemade bread that Mom or Dad made, and will link the two together.

Deuteronomy 12:7 English Standard Version (ESV)

⁷ And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your households, in all that you undertake, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.

You can even if you have the time get into making bread that you and the children will help you with, and while it is baking go over some scripture to help them to memorize the word. Here is a site’s link to some scripture you might what to use:

Open Bible

https://www.openbible.info/topics/eating_together

This is my homemade bread in the “rise” mode on my “Breadman” bread machine. While this is doing its thing, I am able to multi-task. You can get these at yard sales or thrift shops for $5.

Bread is done and is going on a cooling rack before cutting in to slices. I am giving you the recipe I used to make this so you will be able to make and share bread with your family too. This is for a bread maker machine. I think it can be converted to a traditional oven as well. But you will have to hand knead it, and depending on your elevation how moist the dough should be. This machine will maker your dough alone and you can put the dough into your oven at 350. Not all recipes are the same for each bread machine. So be aware.

Makes 1-1/2 pound loaf

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

3/4 cup warm water

1 egg

1 TBS spoon of butter or oil

2 -2/3 cups of all-purpose flour

3 TBS dry milk

2 TBS sugar

1/3 cup raisins

1 -1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

1- 1/2 tsp dry yeast

Let the bread cool on cookie racks before cutting it. Enjoy your bread.

1 Corinthians 10:31 English Standard Version (ESV)

³¹ So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

As our kids grow up and are in the world with secular distractions around them and us, we need to encourage our children and make sure they stay in the word to keep the bonds not only with us the parents,  but with our GOD.

May you havea blessing for the reading of this word and sharing it as well. Pass it forward. Have a good day in the Lord.

Peace!

Deuteronomy 6:5

“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”

Father GOD I give you the praise and honor and love from all of my heart mind and soul, at all times. For with you and your beloved son JESUS whom I claim as my savior are my total comfort zone.

With you Father GOD do I trust in to get through each day of life that you have given me to make it through this world. You are the positive force in my life in this negative ways of the world. For with you Father GOD is my pure joy!

No one thing on this earth will give me the pure love and joy on this earth because of how much I know that you love me. Your love is perfect beyond measure!

For with your perfect love, the sending of your beloved son JESUS on this earth. To save the lives of all of mankind from the sins we all have done. To the sacrifice your beloved obedient son to save all of mankind is so far beyond the understanding that we mankind can ever comprehend!

Bless you FATHER GOD at all times now and through all of eternity long!!! I seek to be with you Father GOD when my time is up on this earth. To see your face, to hear Jesus say “Job well done” at the gates of heaven will be the sweetest thing I will ever hear. To be able to see you and your son in heaven, to live there for all of eternity long is the best “praise party” to ever be invited to!

So many trials I have been through in my life and by your grace I was pulled right through them all!  I thank you for saving me and blessing me so. My trust is with you Father GOD, for when I cry out to you with the tears in my eyes you know what I feel. I can not hide my feelings from you for you do know my heart.

I thank you Father GOD for your son Jesus, and sending him as the “key” to heavens gate. For I know as I live here on earth a place is made for me and all of mankind who have Jesus as their savior! What peace! What joy! What love! All from you and all that you do!

Praise and glory be to you dear beloved Father GOD at all times now and forever more to and though all of eternity long!

I love you dear Father GOD with all of my heart mind soul and strength!

Verses about loving GOD at this link. I just had to praise GOD alone today. For He gives me encouragement when I truly do need it and I know He will do the same for you as well. GOD is so good. I can not express enough how grateful I am to have Jesus as the savior of my soul. Here are some verses about loving GOD at this link below.

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Loving-God/

May you all receive a blessing for the reading of this post and all of my posts in this blog. Be encouraged at all times and stay in prayer, do not let the evil one distract you from the LORD.

Peace!

When I see anyone of any age fighting it make me uncomfortable. It is not a good thing to see. For what I see is the intense anger or hate that is making these two come at each other. Like this picture here, it is an uncomfortable thing to see 2 little ones fighting like this. Right? Since Cain slew Able in the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible, some siblings did not get along.

But you see, adults will go after each other the same way, and it can be worse. It becomes more complicated and destructive when these things do take place. With 2 people, families, neighborhoods, and countries. Over what? And as adults, why did not the two aim to get along? If it was a misunderstanding then it should have been addressed. But in the world of spiritual warfare, I really do know why. And this is sad. This happens anywhere there are people.

Children may not know better until a loving parent steps in and shows the children that this is not good what they are doing at all. I am hoping that this is what went down with these girls in the picture. The maybe on better terms now knowing that what was going on was not a good idea. I have seen siblings doing this sort of thing as a child myself and grew these same that I knew who could not get along were very loving and close when as adults.

James 4 :11

11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister^a or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.

I do no like fighting, guns or wars. They steal lives, mangle and hurt people, orphan children, tear up families, kill animals for sport and not food and clothing and distract those who love GOD into ways they should not be heading to. Keeping those who need a chance to follow GOD, and not getting it. Nations of people fought in Bible times and we will continue to do so until JESUS comes back in the rapture. All of us who love GOD are waiting for the return of JESUS and it can be at anytime.

We as believers in the word of GOD, who do love GOD and HIS son JESUS need to pray for all of the planet. The whole planet. The people, the earth all that is in it. We need to. If those who do not believe can’t do it due to little or no faith then who will. Each of us that has lived on this earth has seen , been in some type of war or fight. No matter what generation you belong to, you have heard about one on the news, or know of a relative that was sent to battle in the military.

When you think about it, we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Hating and killing each other instead of keeping our mind on the LORD. Not good. Many have not had the chance to know of GOD and HIS son JESUS if they are your neighbor or have lived in an area of the world where there are no people to minister to them. And it is not only in Africa like many seem to think. It is ALL over the world. It can be even in your own home with your loved one(s) who are lost in darkness walking away from JESUS. Leaving you alone to pray for them and lead them to GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS to save their souls.

I do not like wars, as I have mentioned it before. I am grateful for the service men and women who did their best to protect this country with their lives and limbs. They should be respected for it, they gave all they had. I have family that have served too, bless all of those who did for peace. But this would not need to be if we did not feel the need to kill off people who do not agree with us or they to kill us off either.

The kings and presidents of other countries should go out there on the battle grounds. That might stop it too. Those who feel the need to take out other countries usually are at home in the safety of military as they say fire at he opposition. If these same men or women were the ones made to go out and fight, they would rather not. Our sons and daughter would not have to fight.

Romans 12:18 Context

¹⁵Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. ¹⁶Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. ¹⁷Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. ¹⁸If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. ¹⁹Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. ²⁰Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. ²¹Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

It is very hard to do anything with out JESUS. To be like JESUS and to forgive those that hate you, is impossible without HIM. The devil knows what mankind weaknesses are and plays on it. He knows what to do , to cause strife among the people. Staying focused on the LORD is our strength at all times.

Prayer over your household, so that your children will come home safe and sound from school and be safe in school. Once prayer was taken out of the school the devil laughed because he was able to confuse the children and lead them into destruction and confusion of all kinds. Keeping them distracted from GOD.

These same children are now adults who are trying to influence our children who are not being taught about GOD and salvation , and those who are too as well. But once you have and continue to help your children to develop a good strong faith every night it will be their shield. Do not depend in others to teach your child about the LORD, you do it. You don’t know for sure what kind of person (in faith and righteousness level) you are trusting your child to.

Proverbs 22: 6

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

There on more verses here at this site about children and teaching them prayer at this site.

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Children/.

Once we go back to prayer, and teaching our children prayer, they will see the ways of fighting and war in unnecessary. The ways of GOD and peace are necessary.

May all who read this blog get a blessing from reading this and sharing it to others. Have a great day and enjoy JESUS as your savior! Praise and glory be to GOD at all times!

Upon my understanding of what church is, many of us have their very own opinions of it is different. I need to know more about why we as people who pray to the one and only true living GOD argue about faith and how to pray. And many of you who go to church have seen debates as well going on there that made it seem more like a political gathering than a pleasant fellowship of faith gathering. I have read in the word that we are the body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:27 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Church to many is a building where we all gather to give GOD praise and honor HIM in unity. To study the word through the Pastor or to have bible study. To have fellowship with like minded people. To have the religious ceremonies such as marriage, Christenings, funerals and Baptisms. Many loving and bonding Christian ceremonies go on in church by always putting GOD first in it.

Bickering like how the secular people do over a football game is not what I feel JESUS would do or would want us to do either. The secular crowd of people will only pay attention to Christians if they feel Christians doing something wrong. See or hear about us doing something wrong. Just plain out even doing anything they do themselves. They look to see imperfections and not knowing that all mankind is imperfect , for this is why we all need JESUS as savor. If they read they Bible they would know. For we can not save ourselves. We need to be united as believers and encourage one another. We need to keep in mind that those who don’t believe will say, “See, I told you they were like this or that. Christians fight too, so what is the point in listening to them?”.

A House Divided

(Matthew 12:22-30; Luke 11:14-23)

20And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 21And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 22And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. 23And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 27No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

How are we going to learn to be united as brothers and sisters for JESUS Christ if we re not focused on what JESUS is telling us in the word how to have the inner peace we all need to get through the nonsense of this world when we can not get along in a gathering in a building made to have Christian fellowship?

If one is confused and is looking for answer to what is this all about why these people call on JESUS, we have to be ready for an answer. If GOD is leading one child of GOD to say or do something that will plant the seed in someone, then being contradicting and discouraging will discourage 2 people. The one trying to encourge one person, and the one who needs to be encouraged to follow the LORD and be saved. We do not want to have anyone turn away from wanting to come to the LORD.

1 Corinthians 11:18

“For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.”

We are all one with JESUS when we have the love of HIM in us. When we believe in GOD and know that JESUS is our savior of our very souls. When we know just how much GOD loves us all to even send HIS son to earth and suffer as how JESUS did.

We should remember there is no divisions in mankind, we are al the same. But we choose what path we want to walk down in life. Be it GODS way or the worlds way. No color , gender , beauty standard, financial status, where you were born, or what title you have to your name . No rules made by mankind to divide mankind from one another. GOD is not a respecter of men, or women. You maybe a member of  a church committee, CEO of a company, or a King or Queen in a country. Every knee shall bow before GOD.

Romans 2:11 King James Version (KJV)

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

My point to all of what I was saying is we need to get into the mindset of unity with a JESUS heart. Connect with our savior and listen to HIS guidance in the word and with HIM talking to you giving you a loving push into HIS direction. No matter what country you come from, we need to lose the worlds standards. That are put into our faith and to do our faith as how GOD wants it to be. Not someone whose worldly and popular saying they are spiritual and changing the meanings of the bible to suit the lifestyle they live. We all will have to answer to GOD regarding the ways of the world, all of us. Me, you, the person walking by you , people in the movies we watch. Those that have died before us, and those yet to be born if the Rapture does not come before then.

Church is within us all, not a building. The building we go into was made for us to gather together and be sheltered from the weather. As we assemble together to join in praise and fellowship. This site, “The United Church of GOD” had a good post on it regarding what I am speaking of.

The United Church of GOD

https://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/bible-study-course/bible-study-course-lesson-10/the-church-is-not-the-building

Knowing the loss of loved ones from since I was a child growing up is not what we expect at any time. From my beloved Grandmother, Aunt, and even kids I played with have died that lived in the house next door to mine. One day we were playing one day and then there was a fire that captured them and took their life the next.

We all have known grief and sorrow at some point, even with those of us who have pets. They gave you unconditional love and joy while they where with you. And you can miss them and feel loss too, for you loved them just as much. And these pets will love you more than some people. Our pets are apart of our family.

The only way how to get comfort is in the LORD. I can not explain how many times I have had to talk to GOD and JESUS to pull me through all of the things I have gone through with the loss of loved ones. It is an awful experience to be in.  You really do feel a loss.

You think about those who were not saved, (to your understanding) if they made it into heaven. You saw no evidence of being saved while they were alive and around you. I tell you this is not something you need to worry about now for they are in the hands of the LORD. No matter at what level of faith you have assumed them to be in. Let GOD be in charge of that.

I can not include our pets, ( have lost a good dog named Cody 5 years ago and still miss him) for I can not find anything in the Bible where it says they will be there with us.

There are people who will get saved on their death-bed. They are able to talk to the LORD and find the peace that they need right then and there. Babies and children are so innocent that they maybe in heaven with the FATHER GOD right now if we read the scripture and understand it correctly.

Matthew 18:10

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”

Here is more verses about children going to heaven and finding some peace with it. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Babies-Going-To-Heaven/

You will always miss your loved ones, no matter how many years have gone by. Love does not die. We may not like the fact that they are gone, but they are in a better place and we don’t have the right to be selfish to keep them from going to heaven where they have peace.

On judgment day we will know exactly what true peace and joy is when we all get there that love from the LORD. Those of us that are left behind and are still living, should aim our best to be with the LORD when it is our time. For those that have gone before us and are saved WILL be there and we will see them again. Waiting for us to come home.

There are people who did not walk the path of faith and was very ill and about to die that got saved through accepting JESUS as their savior minutes before going home. Living a confused, mislead secular life. Not truly happy in life until they came to JESUS. You can read about some here at this site below.

On this site there are many people who have crossed over into the lane of righteousness! It is not an easy thing to do when you were lied to by the devil that you are too bad to change, or that you will never be forgiven of your sins. But then, you see this is a lie because our dear LORD JESUS came to save us ALL who believe in Him. Click on to this link to see who has claimed JESUS as their savior!

All this is to say, don’t give up the thought that the people you loved that have died is NOT saved. You can not be for certain as to what relationship loved one had with JESUS. You really don’t know for sure. Live your life to be with the LORD faithfully and be prepared for all of the blessings that GOD will give to you for your obedience to HIS laws.

I do not know if our pets will be included in heaven or not. We will have to wait for when we get there. I do not see anywhere in scripture to my understanding that they will be sharing paradise with us. We will not be in the flesh as we are right now, and the flesh wants one thing when the soul need another road such as heaven. I found some information on our pets going to heaven here at this site.

Bible info.com “Do dogs go to heaven?”

The site brings up some good points. Always have your Bible with you to refer to anything you read. Including what you read on my posts as well. We all need to see the scripture for ourselves to gain understanding and right with our GOD.

When you think about all of the nonsense of this world, find comfort in GODS love that HE expresses so lovingly in the Bible. GOD does not lie. HE is comforting in all of HS truths, laws and ways. We need HIM to keep afloat and stead fast to HIS gates of heaven. We are only here on this earth for a short time. We will be with our loved ones when it is our time as when GOD says so.

James 4:14

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

Tell your family and friends everyday, every time you are with them that you love them. Say good night to those whom you work with to leave on a good note until you meet up with them the next day. For you do not know when the LORD will call you home or them.

You want the LORD JESUS to say to you when you are standing at heavens gate. “Job well done my true and faithful servant! Come on in!”

May there be a blessing to the reader of this post and all of the other posts in this blog. And for those who share it to encourage others and give them some peace in their loss.

Peace!

You know what? When we praise our one and only true living God for all that He does for us it will may take all day. Our list will be long even in times of trouble when you are able to pull yourself through it. Seriously!

See when you keep your mind on the LORD in the midst of a storm even, you are can still give HIM the praise. You will see what you went through and know it is because GOD is with you, you were able to sail through it.

Praise GOD to be able to get up and see another day, have a roof over your head, food to eat when you are hungry, be able to help those when they can not, praise GOD to others for the blessings He did give to you, be able to talk with your voice for many have no voice at all, be able to see for many can not see at all. I can go on and on about praising GOD and being thankful that He sent His beloved son here on this earth to save us from all of the sins we have done our whole lives long.

There are many people out there with health/money/family issues you can see and can not see. No one person is perfect. Not one. Or ever will be. If you have ever been injured or was born with an issue of some type of health problem, just know none of us can say we are perfect. Some people are stronger in their mind more so than others and will smile every time you see them. Like those who have downs syndrome. I personally have never met one who was ever mean to me. Ever. It’s like they are a special blessing when I see one who will give me a smile when I need it or a hug. They are really cool people. Beautiful inside and out.

Being crippled did not stop Mephibosheth from having servants and fathering 2 sons. He sat at King David’s table and ate with him as one of the Kings sons. Mephibosheth was crippled from injury at age 5 according to the Bible.  He had what some may call a disability. That did not stop him from being a man of faith.

This is a learning experience with those who can keep a smile as they do. You may see they them as having a struggle. You may think they are not happy, but they have the same kinds of issues we do. Getting up going to work, wanting to get married, paying taxes, doctors appointments, keeping food on the table and paying bills.

I am saying all of this as to up lift each of us. We need to stay away as much as we can from negative people and thoughts. It is not easy because of the flesh and may slip for trying. But once we get in to habit of finding a peaceful place to be, even at work or school where you can have your solitude away from worldly non sense….you are doing good. Even if you need to spend time alone, so you can have clean thoughts and focus on the LORD and pray or just use your time to listen to Gospel music or Christian music that will give you a soothing peace. You need to feed your soul with good thoughts. Be around like-minded people for they want the same things you do. They mission is to be right with GOD and have accepted JESUS as their savior to get into heaven where all perfect love and peace is.

Ahhh!  To think about what JESUS has prepared for us in heaven is so wonderful. No more hate, no more pain, no more disabilities, no more non-sense of any kind and the freedom to love and praise GOD and His son JESUS all day long.

And another thing, when you are focusing your thoughts on scripture that alone can give you the peace you need. The men and women of the Bible and the situations that they had to go through are the same things we go through right now today. The only difference is , is that they were living that then and we are living it now with the technology we have today.

Praise GOD at all times. Here is some more scripture to read on this link for you. It is a link for “King James Bible online”

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Praising-God/

If we sit down and write down all of the things we are blessed to have right now and what GOD has done, I will say you will be writing for some time. Let us all give thanks to our Holy loving perfect FATHER GOD and for His beloved son JESUS every single day! GOD is so cool! And His son is like His Father too!

Psalm 150 King James Version (KJV)

150 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

² Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

³ Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

⁴ Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

⁵ Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

⁶ Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

As the warmer weather approaches I will hear about the parties some people are planning or have gone to. If you are on the check out line in a grocery store, these things are a common conversation with some and their peers. It’s like you are trapped into hearing this sort of thing from just wanting to get some milk and eggs for your family.

I was wondering how many people would come to a party where we all would just want to praise GOD for all of the blessings that HE has given them. Or to even have some prayer time to give a bond to all who are around you at this party in honor of our heavenly FATHER GOD.

We do have out birthday parties, wedding parties, baby shower parties, graduation parties, welcome home parties and so on. But have we just had parties to gather for fellowship, prayer and bonding with your family and friends to praise GOD?

I want to do this. I want to have my family and friends around where we can all gather around , praise GOD, give each other encouragement, hug or hold hands with the love of JESUS in our hearts. Just having an excellent time sharing the love of JESUS.

I would like to invite those who need to learn more about the LORD GOD who need some answers and encouragement. All while serving up delicious pot luck dinners , eating the good home cooked meals. Food, talk, smiles and praising GOD. You can have even more fun at a praise party than at a party where you will see people drinking and loosing control.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP

Here are some links to my favorite site for Bible verses. It is so cool because you can get this on your phone when you do not have your hard copy Bible with you!

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Praise-And-Worship/

For you will see that what they do there at that theme typed party, GOD is not in it. And they do not want HIM there. It could be an office party where the boss wanted everyone to be there, and you comply.  If you were ever invited to a party where there are those who lose control like that, politely and quietly leave. If you are new to the office, it is best to just show up and not stay. It is not for you if you choose to follow the LORD.

The best parties to have, is when there is love there. As having your loving family and friends there where there is good food, good clean games, good talk and laughter! Just enjoying each others company. But what if you know of a person who lives alone, or is in need of a good church to attend? We can invite them to our praise party.

There are many elderly who live alone and not by choice, who maybe lonely and just need to get out. Maybe they can not get out because of where they live and no one is able to help them to travel. Maybe there is a family that does not have much, or the spouse is ill in the hospital and they need to be around people to give them encouragement.

We all need JESUS, and we need JESUS at all times.

See, when you are in a party mood, it is a happy mood. And you can have some Bible reading before the meal. I say before so you will have people stay longer. And when the desert comes out it is the finishing touch. You can give out little Bible tracts that pertain to the main theme of this party. Giving praise to GOD. Here are some links to where you can print some out and hand them out during your Bible readings.

Psalms Chapter 117

¹ O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

² For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

4.   FREE CARTOON TRACT.COM

http://www.freecartoontract.com/are-you-a-good-person-english/

This site above “free cartoon tract.com” is interesting as how they made more like a cartoon. Still you get the point with scripture.

With these sites and with any site you will need to read the tracts with your Bible right next to it BEFORE you give them to people. Just because it says it is a Bible tract with scripture in it does not mean it is right. Many are may have false teachings.

Jack Chick.com is another site for Bible tracts, but his way of spreading the word is with a scare theme to it and many people do not like that. And if they get turned off with being scared and not showing a loving heart if JESUS in it they will not be interested and you can lose them. You may not be able to convince them to turn to GOD, accept JESUS as savior and be saved.

So research the best ones on these sites that show the  love of JESUS in it and not to scare people. We are ALL sinners, not one of us is sin free.

Praising GOD for all of the blessing HE has given us. There maybe some people who do not see the blessings they have, until we show them. Praising GOD is one blessing, being able to enjoy good company, having a roof over your head, food in your tummy, feeling loved by GOD. And for a “Babe in the LORD” as how my husband would say coming to a Praise Party will be food for the soul.

I get my inner faith battery charged when there are meetings and gatherings where we all can talk about the LORD and encourage each other by praising GOD! We all need this. No matter what level of faith you have, because there is power and strength in all of us that comes from the FATHER GOD of all heaven and earth and HIS beloved son JESUS!!!

So, whose bringing the dessert? (smile)

Have fun at your praise party! Bring tracts that tell about the love of JESUS and why we need HIM. Put a number of someone besides yourself if they need to talk to someone later or a good church to attend if they do not have one.

Be blessed and never stressed. May a blessing come to all who read this blog and the others, and for sharing and passing it along to others to read too.

Peace! 🙂
