Complaining and Murmuring : KJV – King James Version – Bible Verse List. “Neither murmur ye, as some of them [ancient Israelites] also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.” “Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.Aug 3, 2015

Good morning everyone, or whatever time it is for you right now!

I have heard a good sermon from my husbands Pastor friend Doug Helton of Calvary Baptist Church in Iowa. It had more than one message in it, but the main message was about how we all at times will complain when we should be giving thanks to our beloved GOD for all things. See the Pastors video below.

Pastor Douglas J. Helton Calvary Baptist Church St. Charles, Iowa

It is an easy habit to get into to complain, and a very hard one to get out of. Babies, Children, Teens, and Adults in all stages of life complain. Without a second thought to it. Not realizing we should not be doing it or are doing it.

We are blessed by GOD’s by will of the things HE has given us. As you read this blog, you are blessed. You have the life GOD gave you, healthy enough to be able to read the blog, the ability to read, to see it, and to understand it, to have the equipment that allows you to read this blog along with having the internet service. So that alone is at least 7 blessings right there! (add a smiley face here.)

So let’s continue to count our blessings each day. You will see GOD as been blessing you all the while.

With complaining, we will at times only see the annoying thing(s) 1st and not the true loving blessings that our GOD has given us. Our GOD does not like that from us to have this mindset. It is like when our earthly Dad will cook a good meal and when were hungry. It was a nice plate of veggies, grains and protein with some freshly squeezed juice with ice in it. Then we complain that the ice was too cold or not cold enough in the juice!

We all complain at times, and we complain about other people complaining! When you are around people who complain and you are trying not to, and you hear their complaints it can rub off on you. So then it can have you pick up their bad habits of complaining and not even realize it too. This is something the Bible will mention in these scripture below about us complaining.

Part of Pastor Doug Helton’s sermon on 9-1-19.

As I had thought about the message, I want to challenge myself as not to complain, or when it is at all possible to walk away from a person politely when they are complaining or point out the good in what they are talking about. Such as if they have an issues like the child did with the meal mentioned above…..I could say “at least you have ice. “The drink would not be cool without any ice at all.”

GOD knows what we need and we need to accept the current blessings so we will get more each day. Enjoy your day, and challenge yourself as to train your thoughts on not to complain but to give thanks to our GOD for all that HE gives us at all times. Stay in prayer as you go through your day to avoid complaining, because it will be very hard/impossible not to have the LORD in it to help you.

Praise and glory be to YOU dear beloved FATHER GOD at all times now and to and through all of eternity long!

May you all have a blessed day, please pass this blog forward with the words of GOD in it to others so they will be blessed as well too. Pass it forward! Stay blessed and know that our GOD loves us all!

Peace!

John 11:25 Context

22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 

23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 

24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 

28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

Good Morning everyone!

I do hope that where ever you all maybe on GOD’s earth today that you are in a cool place and are comfortable and safe. It has been hotter than usual here in New York. But right now, it seems to be cool compared to yesterday. I do thank GOD for that.

With all of this heat we are having I do think about when I would head out to the beach and enjoy the ocean water. I would swim in it to cool off or even just to look at it when it was too cold to really swim in it. It was so peaceful for me as a child. Calming i fact, like there was nothing to even think about really and I would fall asleep under my parents watchful eyes.

Enjoying the inner peace!

The only way to have true inner peace is to let go of the issues of the world and just enjoy what the LORD has made.

Peaceful thoughts in a peaceful scene

Church is not the only place that I do find some peace. It is with nature too, the beaches are one of the other places to be for me.

You can have concerns on your mind that you pray over and wait for the LORD GOD to take from you. And GOD will too. But also for me, once I am there looking at the ocean they are washed away!

It is as though the LORD is letting me know that HE “got this”…HE is taking care of my burden and HE will wash it all away! It will be no more to bind me down. I sigh a big sigh of relief knowing that GOD is in control!

Giving me a feeling of inner peace. Joy. And comfort. Knowing that HE has heard my heart calling out to HIM in prayer.

Giving me a feeling of being loved by GOD and HIS son JESUS at all times. Even as I write this to you. Knowing that JESUS is my savior, and has came on earth to sacrifice HIS life on the cross so that I may live, ALL mankind will live who believe and worship HIM!

Our sins are washed away into the sea of forgiveness.

When I think of the ocean or see it, I do think of how our JESUS has washed away our sins through our faith, trust and belief in HIM our savior!

So I do ask you all to remember what JESUS has done for me, you our loved ones, and all people we know. All who feel your sins are too great to be forgiven. It is for ALL people who have sinned, all we have to do is to repent. Simple.

Remember JESUS when you see the ocean, any clean water, lakes and streams, drinking water, bathing, even the rain from the sky. Remember what our JESUS came to do as a man here on earth, to save every single soul of all mankind so that they may live in peace with GOD and HIS son JESUS in heaven for all of eternity long. Water is everywhere when you think about it.

Even our bodies are made of 60% of water. So think about how letting JESUS is the living water you need to be 100% into your heart , mind and soul . With faith it will be done! Don’t test GOD, ask for HIS help.

I pray you all will be cool and safe and healthy. May you all be blessed by the reading of GOD’s word in this blog, and please do pass it forward for others so they will be blessed too. Amen? Yes Amen!!!

Peace!

No Outlet. Only one way to righteousness.

Proverbs 21:21

“He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.”

King James Version (KJV)

Dear FATHER GOD,

I do pray for every person that has walked the face of your earth. Be it not saved (yet) or those who have not come to you and your son Jesus for salvation. I pray that those who are reading this you will touch their hearts, open their eyes to what they are missing in pure unconditional love, peace, joy and the knowing that you are in control!

Those who have heavy burdens who need to leave it with you, and who do not know to leave it with you. That you dear FATHER GOD can get them through all of the weight and troubles that this world has given them. I ask for healing of the mind, body and soul for them all to seek righteousness! And for your beloved son Jesus!

For you are fair, loving, good, patient and forgiving at all times. We all need you, every person on this earth! I ask this in Jesus name FATHER GOD and I thank you!

AMEN!

Good morning to all of you!

I do pray that you will have a blessed day and until we all meet the next time of the reading of the nex blog GOD willing. For none of us knows when GOD will send his son JESUS to return. It could happen at any time that GOD sees fit.

Revelation 1:7

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”

King James Version (KJV)

no entry 2019
The LORD is warning all people of the earth of things we are doing to harming each other, the whole earth and our individual selves too. It is all confusion when we do not follow GOD’s laws. The thoughts and ideas we have that are not GOD based are of mankind’s. Man does not know better than GOD. So our ways are not of pure good, for we do things to our limited understandings.

We all make mistakes, and sin because we want to do what we want. Ever try to tell a 2 year old something that they are doing is not right right? And they will let you know thy do not want to listen if they are stubborn. If you don’t have small children around when you go to the grocery store on a saturday morning you might see a scenario like this there. The loving parent will explain to the child, “No you can not have only candy for dinner…” , and the will react. Turn away from the parent upset.

angry child in the candy isle 2019

We as adults can do the same thing towards our loving FATHER GOD. Trusting and loving our GOD is what will keep the joy in your heart. You will see there is nothing as perfect and dependable as the love and joy from our FATHER GOD. Nothing. You will always have joy in you when you know this is from GOD, and he is in you.

20190709_1825267396090891081342167.jpg

When our days are done on on this earth and the LORD calls us home….we are then in wait for judgment. We cant pull away and turn in defiance as a small child will because we want to have “candy”.

That part of our lives is done here in the flesh. There is no outlet from death once we are buried into the ground. JESUS came the first time to teach us the right way, the laws of our GOD. Righteousness as how he lived and spoke. How we should live . Salvation is when we trust and believe in JESUS as our savior sent by GOD.

Our final resting place will be where we will wait for our judgement. Our names will be put into the book of life if we deserve it. We will then see the face of JESUS. Our flesh is laid to rest, our souls in sleep until the skies will crack open with JESUS to the rescue for all of us who love Him!

Isaiah_26-3

Matthew 5:44 Prayer Lists. Pray for you enemies as well as your loved ones too.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs 2 Comments

Good morning , afternoon or evening to all who are reading this blog today. I do pray that you all will have a blessed day in the LORD!

As each year in time, it gets closer to the return of our JESUS coming again to take all of the people who love HIM away with HIM. We are here in this fallen world to cling to our faith in our loving GOD and HIS loving son JESUS. Our trust and prayers to our GOD for us to have eternal peace.

Confusion, defiance, going against all that is right and Holy by calling it wrong seems to be the normal way of things today. It must be close to what Noah saw in his days before the great flood.

And in all of this confusion we wait in prayer for our saviour to return. But while we are here we must pray for all those we meet in passing. Our families and loved ones. Our beloved friends who we hold close to us too as if they are family. And also our enemies, those who seek to do us harm.

These people who hate us , hate our ever loving GOD too. They feel the need to hate us too because they know that GOD is in our hearts….they can sense it. Even at 1st glance. They do not want you around. Period. They will have to answer to our GOD for all they do to us.

These worldly people will always have more friends than you simply because they will be around like minded worldly people. There are more worldly thinking people around than there are saved and love GOD.

It is our job as Christians to try to spread the good news about salvation to these people in a loving way. Never harsh. We should give them hope and an truthful answer to why things happen. We all have a burden to carry or a cross to bear. But because of the confusion, they will or may assume wrong. This is why we need to tell them about JESUS in a loving way and let them know we all are sinners too. No one is better than the other, the only man to walk the earth with out sin was JESUS.

You will find people who do not have a connection to our GOD everywhere there are pepople, for the devil is busy trying to steal souls.

So this is why I say we need to not only pray for our loved ones, but for all people we know. Friends or not, they need prayer as well as you and I do.

My prayer book.

  • 4 inches by 5 inches big notebook

I started a prayer book. My book is not a fancy one. I little spiral note book that is small enough to fit in my pocket or bag. Love how small and thick it is at the same time.

The first page has my prayer for all of the people I add to the book. I add the names and what the need is or not. The LORD knows their need and that is what is important their need. The LORD knows the details.

It will fill up fast when you see how many people might confide in you with the situations that they may have. When you have a peacefulness about you, people will come to you who are seeking GOD and want to have someone who cares about them around .

Not like those who hate GOD and have no intentions on changing, but those who want to know GOD and are aware that there is a GOD. They are “babes in the LORD” as how my Husband will best explain it. I think this is a good explanation!

I have heard of people praying for people and then adding them to their prayer list since a child. Some would have more than book from doing so for years. Each person will do so in the way that they feel the LORD is leading them to do it. There is no set formula but a sincere heart and compassion for the people you write in your prayer book.

Matthew 5:44

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” 

King James Version (KJV)

Our enemies do not realize what they are doing and the consequences that will come from it. They have not a clue. And if they feel there in a GOD, they may not care what our GOD thinks or GOD will not see what they do if they do so in secret. Yeah, but we who love and fear GOD know way better than that.

Here is some scripture to get things started in understanding why we as CHristians need to pray for all people. JESUS sacrificed HIS life on all of us people. So a loving prayer for all people is nothing compared to what our JESUS has done to save us all from sin.

Pray for all mankind, for we all need prayer. Everyone that you know and don’t know. We all will need to answer to our GOD for all of the wrongs we have done, thought, and said. Everyone.

Prayer will not hurt ever. And maybe with us praying for our enemies they will be saved, we do not know how the LORD will intervene in our favor. But we do know that he will because HE does love us!

Stay blessed and please pass this forward to the next person so that thay will recieve a blessing as well too.

Peace

King David, a man after GOD’s own heart.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
Picture from site: https://connectionpoint.tv/media/david-man-after-gods-own-heart

Good morning, afternoon or evening to you all depending when you read this post!

I do hope you all are well and are keeping in prayer. It is harder and harder for those of us who love the LORD to avoid the ways of the world and we may slip or back slide from what others may lead you to do for a time. But because we have the feeling of convection and repent not to turn and do whatever it was never again, we repent.

Those who do not have this feeling of repentance of sins because they love the sin and not GOD may not understand what it is that I am speaking of.

It is spiritual discernment.

We who fear and love GOD because we know HE is all powerful and has a watchful eye on us ALL….know HE is in control.

King David in the bible loved GOD. King David sinned with Bathsheba. Who was the wife of Uriah. King David becomes attracted to Bathsheba who is the wife of Uriah, one of David’s soldiers. The attraction is mutual although both know an affair would break the law of Moses. When Bathsheba discovers she is pregnant by David, the King sends for Uriah hoping he will spend time with his wife to cover her pregnancy. From 2 Samuel 11.

2 Samuel 11 King James Version (KJV)

11 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.

5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.

9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?

11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.

17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

20 And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.

23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.

24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.

26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.King James Version (KJV)

See, GOD is so cool, more than anyone could ever measure. This story about King David and this love he had for Bathsheba was complicated and deceiving. And it led to murder too.

But King David asked to be forgiven. https://biblehub.com/bsb/2_samuel/12.htm

But King David asked to be forgiven. In 2 Samuel chapter 12 you will read about David’s Loss and Repentance

13Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”

“The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die. 14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have treated the LORD with utter contempt,b the son born to you will surely die.”

15After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill. 16David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackclothc on the ground. 17The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.

You can read more about this here at this link. https://biblehub.com/bsb/2_samuel/12.htm

These situations in the Bible you will find are like the same situations that happen in today’s time. I feel the Bible is helpful to show how our ancestors who loved the LORD overcame this nonsense of the world through prayer and repentance. Only GOD was the judge then and STILL is today as well.

GOD judged King David, and gave HIS judgment on King David. King David repented asking to be forgiven. And was by our GOD. This is an excellent example as to how patient and loving GOD is still today.

I have heard many people say that GOD will not forgive them for what they had done. So they keep on living the way that they do. This is a lie that the devil is telling you. Plain and simple. This is why it is very important to read the Bible. For whatever sin you are going through right now….you can repent. No one is perfect. We need the LORD at all times and in all things.

Image from https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Philippians-4-13/

This is from Philippians Chapter 4:10-16

10But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

Let no one lie to you about the love of JESUS. Telling you negative things about GOD and the Bible. Read it for yourself with prayer. One you read it, you very well may find the situation that you are in right now. And how these people in those days got through it. The Bible shows you what will happen when you take GOD’s advice and when you don’t. What is righteous and what is not. What path you decide to choose that you want to live to be saved. Every thing we all do has consequences to answer to from our GOD.

Only GOD will be to right judge, not mankind. For mankind does not run heaven, GOD does. Period. I say all of this my friends so you will not be deceived by those who walk the path of the lost and want you to walk right along with them on it to damnation.

If you seek after JESUS and want HIM with you, just ask HIM to be in your life. He will do it. Give up the sin and ask for JESUS to help you at all times to keep you strong righteously. We who love the LORD GOD are happy to share this good news about salvation for we do NOT want to see anyone we know crash and burn. We who are true Christians depend on the LORD for righteous strength too!

We Christians who truly love the LORD do want everyone to hear the word of GOD, to accept JESUS as their savior and be saved! So we all can enjoy the happy reunion in heaven together with GOD and HIS son JESUS. You know? That will be so cool to see not only your family and friends….but the people you worked with, school mates and even those who were once your enemies that are now saved and love JESUS as much as you do!

Think about how awesome that will be!

Have a blessed day in the LORD GOD. Know that HE loves mankind so much that HE did send HIS only begotten son JESUS here on earth to save us all from our sins. Now we have to do our part, and accept JESUS and repent. And don’t forget to ask JESUS for help in all you do to stay connected to HIM. Thank GOD for JESUS at all times, AMEN!!!

Peace!!!

Don’t live by other peoples opinions. Only GOD is judge!

Good morning everyone! I do pray that you all are well! For this is another day that our FATHER GOD has made for us!

We all have been judged by one person or persons in our lives. Be it good or bad we are perceived to be one kind of a person by another.

There can be harmful effects from when people judge others by what is in their own hearts. For if they have evil in their hearts, then this is how they will judge you.

It will come out in what they say or do. The thought will come to them first, then the action. Nothing is subtle about being evil. Nothing. Even body language will open what is in a heart and mind too.

When we lean on the LORD GOD for guidance then we can be better prepared for the distractions of the world. Those who do not follow GOD’s plan, knowingly or unknowingly they follow satan and his destructive ways toward mankind.

Yes , temptation is a harmful evil distraction on humans being right for GOD. And when we are being distracted from doing what is right by people who are influenced by satan who are not trying to do right it is not a good thing.

It is good GOD sent JESUS to be our savior of our souls. We can not save ourselves. For no matter how hard we try to be right, we are not perfect and need JESUS to save and encourage us all. Not to put us down ever.

They who seek to put you down and make you feel like you are not qualified to be a painter, a pastor, and actor , model, doctor , lawyer may have been told negative things in their own life. So if they were judged to think that they can not achieve their dreams, this is how they feel about you. You can not either if they can not.

People will judge you on

  1. How you look
  2. Where you come from
  3. Your age, be it you are too young to know better, or too old to do a task.
  4. Where you live or where they THINK you live.
  5. The lifestyle they assume you live, because they live it.
  6. What you can afford and what you can not.
  7. Your faith. If you are a believer they assume you are not and vise-versa. All without even taking the time to know you at all. No conversations, or even knowing your name.
  8. Your born natural GOD given gender. If you are a woman you do not know how to fix our own car or a man SHOULD know how to fix a car. See , a woman may have been taught to change a tire by her Dad so she can get home. A man may live in NYC where he took cabs and mass transit and did not need a car.

I can go on, and I am sure many of you have been judged by our fellow humans. All this is to say, do not let those people who judge you put you down and disrespect you into thinking you are unable to do good.

That you can not achieve your dreams in being successful in your career. As long as you are right with GOD in how you live, let GOD therefore be the judge. Live your life to please GOD in all you do and you will have no regrets.

HE will send the right people around you, and you will bond with them. By increasing others faith by being positive and prayerful together. It is good to be around brothers and sisters in the LORD. The Bible reading and prayer with brothers and sisters is like having your “soul’s battery” charged together! The ways of the world is draining, and we need that charge!

If you can read the word at work, or school , or on a bus or train…..do so for your soul. It will block those that judge you harmfully. I have seen those that do harm to me get the same thing done to them. GOD looks out for all of HIS children that do love HIM!!!

Psalm 1 King James Version (KJV)

1.Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

King James Version (KJV)

Be blessed and never stressed. Pray with your friends and family to keep the bond strong with prayer. Keep each others battery charged and ready to face the ways of the world and all of the distractions in it! Please feel free to pass this blog forward to others so they can be blessed as well.

Remember, only our beloved GOD in heaven is qualified to judge you. And heaven is where we aim to be when our time here on earth is done! Amen? AMEN!!!!

Peace!

Chapter 145

1 (David’s Psalm of praise.) I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.

6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

We are as different fingerprints but united thru JESUS CHRIST!

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

fingerprint 6-9-19

Good morning everyone!

I do hope the weather is wonderful there so you are able to go out and enjoy it! It is another day that our ever loving GOD has created for us.

There are still some things in this world that GOD has made that amaze me each time I think about. Something that when we notice our hands and fingers and on others is the finger prints. They are all unique in their own design. Even on each hand they are not the same and do not match. And it gets even more complicated than that, not the same in each family with siblings, including twins!

Yet with the all the blood types that there are with mankind , we all can not share the same blood in any transfusion. It needs to match to be useful to help another person. And this is with all tribes (I do not like the term “race” since we all came from Adam and Eve) of people, we all have the basic blood types. Not all family members have the same blood type. Sometimes people will need a complete stranger from another family to donate blood to help heal them. I feel this is something that GOD has planned to keep us in check that we all need to help each other no matter what tribe or family they come from.

We mankind need to learn to love and bond with each other as how GOD is saying to do so thru HIS ever loving word.

Ephesians 4:3

“Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” 

King James Version (KJV)

We are all different but the same. We are all individuals making our own choices her on GOD’S earth as how we choose to live our lives. Be it by GOD’S loving plan or mankind’s confused plan.

We are individuals that are free to make the choices we make for ourselves. Yet we need to remember to love others as how we should love ourselves. Not in anyway shape or form as feeling you are greater than the next person, or any other person you meet.

Fingerprints. Being different but the same in the body of Christ is powerful when we go to minister the word of GOD.

Romans 15:5 – 15:6

5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

6 That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

But with unity amongst the members of the body of Christ , we can do wonderful things for the ministry of the word of GOD. I really do enjoy fellowship with those that are like minded as I am in serving and praising GOD and HIS son JESUS!

1 Thessalonians 5:11

 “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 

King James Version

 

The next time you look at your fingerprints or someone else’s, or even think about the common blood types, we are different but still connected. Somehow by either in a way or another by either two. The common human trait of fingerprints, most people have them. People have blood and in ways we connect thru that with the blood types and donations that those who need transfusions get, or even organ donations too.

Think about the next paper cut, or manicure you get and the scripture that tells us to fellowship. I will encourage you as well as your fellow believer in JESUS! Have a blessed day, stay in prayer at all times, stay incontact with our FATHER GOD and JESUS our savior! Read the word for wisdom and comfort., it helps me and it will help you as well too! Share this blog so others will have peace and blessings too. Pass it forward!

Peace!!!

Hebrews 10:25

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

Food for the soul! Food for the body!

1 Corinthians 10:31

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

King James Version (KJV)

My homemade chicken stew to be served over brown rice.

Good morning everyone!

I pray that you all will have a blessed day that our LORD GOD has made!

When we are hungry we need to eat, feed ourselves with what our body needs to survive. We feel weak, and will have hungry pains if we don’t get the nutrition we need.

For the body there is a good earthly stew.

For the soul, it is the Heavenly word of GOD. For we can be weak too in spirit and the soul if we don’t read and study GOD’S word along with prayer and faith!

You get strength and nourishment with GOD’S word. With guidance and love that is totally fulfilling!

It is good like a soulful stew for your soul to enjoy and fill your soul with its richness. Filling an empty void. The stew is seasoned perfectly. And it is right on time too. Never overdone. And it is what it is, good righteous nourishment.

1 Peter 5:7

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

King James Version (KJV)

But how will you know what I say about the word unless you have tried it? How will you be able to savor the words and feel it give the energy your soul needs, unless you come to the table GOD has prepared for us ? Unless we open the Bible and read it? Unless we allow JESUS to serve the meal to us?

JESUS is the mediator and the Heavenly host to our seat at the table to this heavenly to this meal.

Can you imagine what all is good, being loved and cared for so in the presence of GOD and HIS son JESUS? What it will be like as we sing praises to GOD? No one can this is why we need to feed our faith!

It is far more better than what we humans can ever understand to be in such love. We know that this life is not perfect. And there are times when things are “cooler” and doing better than others in the times when we come to a bump in our roads. But my friends heaven is THE place to be, and our major goal.

No calories to this meal! The will be no weight gain either. The gain you will get is from reading the word, accepting JESUS as your savior, repentance, and having no regrets in doing so! Even as rich and filling as it will be, it will give you a peace way, way, way more than you can expect!

Hunger and that empty feeling is filled!

To feel loved from a good meal from a loving earthly parent is nowhere close to what our heavenly FATHER has waiting for us as when our days are done as our JESUS let’s us in through Heavens gate to sit at the table.

I do love my GOD, and HIS son JESUS with all of my heart. I do depend on GOD my whole life. I do want to spend all eternity with GOD in heaven. To see my Heavenly FATHER. To feel that love that is not to be found in this world in any thing.

I am praying that any one of these blog posts will encourage someone to seek after JESUS to see if he is real, accept JESUS as their savior, repent and have a loving relationship with GOD the FATHER and JESUS.

If you feel that GOD is controlling, HE is not! For we are all given the freedom of choice. If GOD did not give us the freedom of choice , we would all be good and never breaking any of the commandments ever! We would never sin! This is why some people do things that are not GODLY such as not obeying HIS laws. You may not see a bolt of lightning strike down these people right now. GODS timing is not our timing, for HE is patient and loving. They have set their own paths and choice to go against GOD and listen to satan.

These people may change , and we may not be around to see it. So GOD is being fair with them, if they choose righteousness then they will be saved. Sometimes it takes something in their life to open their eyes as to what they are doing. GOD can do it, HE knows what will get their attention.

GOD knows what the future brings. People can change, or love the sin and die with that sin as they love it and not GOD. So don’t stop praying for them. Put your trust and faith into your prayers and let GOD do the rest. So that all people we know be it family, friends or people we meet in passing who are living or have died will all be at the table with us sharing GOD’S Heavenly food!

We want all of our loved ones and friends to get into heaven and we want to see our loved ones that have moved on before us who made it into heaven. Oh wow will we all be happy and praising our beloved GOD together!!!

23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

Collard greens my favorite veggie. Well one of them!

Proverbs 15:17

“Better isa dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.”

King James Version (KJV)

I am sharing with you different things I have made for Sunday dinner, not all made on the same day though. Too busy to do that because of the F/T 9to5 I have. And that’s cool. I do take more time in cooking when I am on vacation.

I pray that you all will have a blessed day. If you do not know JESUS on a personal level where you do trust and love HIM , I pray that you do. Believing in JESUS is not enough. Going to church is not enough. Praying to JESUS without trust and faith is not enough. We all need to trust in JESUS 100% as our savior ans know ….

Matthew 19:26

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

King James Version (KJV)

Have a blessed day! Share this post with people you know. Pass it forward. Stay in prayer and do not be ashamed to tell others about JESUS! If need be, share the word with them over a cup of coffee!

Peace!

Picking which of GOD’s laws you want to obey. Like an “La Carte” menu.

“What is an a la carte menu ? If you request just a piece of fried fish at a restaurant, rather than the fish platter that includes French fries and coleslaw, you can say you ordered a la carte, or a single item from the menu. … The opposite of a la carte is a table d’hôte, or “meal served at a fixed price.”

 

Good morning everyone! I do pray that you all will have a blessed day!

If you listen to people these days in time, may people do not really know what the Bible is about. They have not read it from cover to cover and they seem so confused when a Christian will ask them if they know JESUS.  This is after they say something like “I thank GOD for…” And this is in just casual conversation if the other person says they are a believer.

It is hard enough trying your best to be a Christian and follower of JESUS as it is with all of the negative things going on around you. You NEED to be close to GOD and accept JESUS as our savoir. There is no in between of it.

Many feel it is okay to not to deny yourself of an extramarital affair or sex before marriage. Or what is becoming more popular is same sex attraction. Nope. these bad habits will cause so much confusion and hurt feelings more than a little.

See when you fall and mess up with any thing besides sexual temptations, repenting and seeing your wrong will save you more unwanted strife. Even if you are not in a good way in your faith yet, think about this. Sex is a sacred act for a natural man and woman given to us by GOD starting with Adam and Eve.

Sex is sacred. By GOD. Made for us to be fruitful and to multiply the earth.

Genesis 1:28 King James Version (KJV)

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Diseases are passed from one person to another through body fluids. You may enjoy what you are doing be it for 5 minutes or what ever. but there are viruses out there that will kill you. Sexually transmitted diseases are not joke.
  1. You can bring that killer home to your spouse. Spread it to your kids as well because if you are the kind of parent that kiss your kids on the mouth, you can give your kids the sores you have on your mouth to your babies. And that would be awful! (Even if you don’t cheat, kissing your child on the lips is not proper)
  2. Marriages break up when the spouse who cheated is infested with what they have brought home to give to them. Even if they dont die from it, the fact that they came home with this issue lets the innocent spouse know what happened if they never has STD’s.
  3. If you are heterosexual , and not married to your sex partner you still can get infected. Even if you are living together, does not mean he or she will not cheat on you. There is no feeling of commitment in a relationship like this. It may work for some, but you are taking a chance of neer getting married. When a person is in a certain level of faith they will not even consider living without benefit of clergy and the law of GOD. No point when you want to do what is right by GOD to live outside of the law.
  4. Same sex attractions is nothing but confusion. They can not procreate as how a natural heterosexual couple can and are designed by GOD to do. They will have to find children from a heterosexual couples natural bond to take as their “own”. This is not really a true natural way as how GOD wanted things ro be. One person in these relationships is acting more as the male and the other as female as in the “mocking” of what a heterosexual couple will do. So in its way, this is NOT being fruitful and multiplying as in GOD’s plan because this same sex attraction can not. It can only indoctrinate not procreate.

    Leviticus 20:13

    “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” 

    King James Version (KJV)

  5. People with the mental condition called “Gender dysphoria” is a step up to cause even more trouble for all mankind as these people are altering their appearance to look like the opposite sex than what they were born to be. If a heterosexual person assumes who they are in a relationship is their opposite sex….and finds out this dysphoric person was lying to them it will cause serious complications. Some times with horrible conclusions for the dysphoric person. This mental state of mind can be cured and controlled  with medication therapies. But with how the way of the world is , people are into the money aspects of things surgery rules over the medication. The combination surgery, and the medicines , and hormone treatments that these people need to keep up appearances is more costly than visits to psychiatrists and than getting the medicine for the dysphoric mental condition.
  6. Children are affected from the sexual confusions by the parents. Be it from what ever sexual perversion we people might have, our children are affected by it.

Selfish desires create confusions because we decide we know better than GOD. We don’t. Shaking our hand up at our GOD because we were lied to by satan to fall into these temptations. The devil is laughing at us when we don’t listen to GOD.

GOD’s laws were made to give us joy and peace. No confusion as to what we are created to be. No apples wanting to morph into a banana or whatever. No enveying what someone else has because you want it when GOD is giving you what you need and we don’t see it. because we are watching others.

We humans need to read the word, and stay in prayer. GOD’s way is right, pure and loving. We don’t have to worry about if the man we are dating is a natural male or not when we wait on GOD to send us the right man. Although I will say paying attention to bone structure too will let you know if you are looking at a true male or not. A mans bone structure is larger than a womans, such as the hands, feet, shoulders and head shape. Leaning on and waiting on GOD is the best way on all things.

We all should think about all we do and to put GOD in all we do. Once we have accepted JESUS as savior we will want to do GOD’s plan with out giving it a second thought. Not to stay in a sin that is wrong by GOD.

Romans_8-28

 

I pray for all people I know to have their hearts opened and to repent who do not follow our beloved JESUS. Who do not love GOD, but love the sn that they are in. I pray that you will ask JESUS to come into your heart and to repent and be saved. To give you the strength to ignore the temptations and lies that the devil was telling you so that you will continue to be unhappy. Or in a false state of happiness. You may not believe me right now, but if you go to a quiet place and pray to JESUS, HE WILL answer you! Your eyes and heart will be opened. I tell you there is no joy on this earth like there is with our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS. Nope, there is nothing that closes close at all.

Remember, the devil lies to us all to make us all fall. But JESUS can pick us up. I wrote this topic today for love and peace and for the praise of our FATHER GOD. Not to judge. GOD is the only one who can judge fairly. I am just a messenger of GOD’S word.  For we all do sin every single day knowingly or not.

Have a blessed day, and may you all get a blessing from the reading of GOD’s word and the blessings of this blog. Pass it forward so others will get the blessing too!

Peace!
