Sharing the good news of salvation.

Hello everyone!

That you all for dropping by my blog home 🏡 ❤️! I hope all is well with you as we all mankind is blessed to see yet another day 🙏🏾.

GOD is good. And good ALL the time. There are no other GODs. No such thing. Only one who looks out for us and loves us mankind more than we can humanly understand in our human brains. Ever.

Sending HIS only begotten Son here yo this earth to save the souls of all mankind who have accepted JESUS as their savior.

And for our beloved JESUS to love our beloved FATHER GOD so as to be an obedient loving son by doing GOD’S will.

Let us think about what our savior JESUS went through to come here to earth from a perfect Heaven. Where all is clean, peaceful, loving, good, beautiful and comfortable. All beyond our human intelligence.

To arrive here to see what nonsense we mankind is doing to the earth,each other and ourselves. The smell and stench of sin, the results of it. From being defiled from our mischief to ourselves and the whole earth.

It was bad how we treated JESUS too, from in the womb to the grave. To give us stubborn humans the way home on that narrow path to Heaven.

Telling others about JESUS is a must, way less in what only JESUS has and can do. If you love GOD and HIS SON JESUS you sincerely want all people you know to be in Heaven when their time is up.

I know i want all of the people I meet and know to hear about the good news of salvation. Many people I have met feel that the sins they have done were just too horrible. And that our beloved JESUS would turn them away.

Conviction, and listening to the devil keeps them from turning to GOD. Others may feel hate and anger towards GOD because of what has happened to them in life

Life is NOT perfect for anyone. For when it rains, it rains on everyone. Believers get wet too. We all are sinners. Believers repent and repent daily! Those who think that we who love JESUS don’t sin is wrong.

This is why GOD sent JESUS as a sacrifice for our sins.

Only JESUS is pure and the perfect sacrifice for the sins that we do knowingly or unknowingly. See? You may assume you don’t do anything wrong, but if you have flesh you do. Reading the word of GOD will open your eyes to the truth.

It is putting pride aside, getting on your knees and seeking forgiveness every single day. Staying in contact with our beloved FATHER GOD and JESUS that will guide you through the confusion of this world.

You will gain spiritual discernment as our beloved FATHER GOD will talk to you, lovingly telling you what is right in a loving way. HE does for me and all believers who do wait on GOD.

It feels so good to talk about JESUS and all HE has done for all of us mankind to like minded people. But they already know the good news. And you know you will meet them in Heaven.

It’s the ones you know and don’t know who are not saved that we need to share anyway we can in a loving way. The good news of JESUS CHRIST. Be it in social media or face to face we must share so they will know. 😀❤️❤️❤️

To walk on the narrow path with all who have accepted JESUS as their savior 🙏🏾.

Peace and blessings ❤️

1 Peter 3:7. Honoring your spouse .

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

I hope all of you who read this will have a blessed day by GOD’S grace and love. Praise and glory be to our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.

I want to say that the family unit, as good as GOD has commanded it to be, is under continuous attack by all kinds of evil. This is something that only GOD can fix with our constant prayer to HIM.

Some of us mankind do not truly understand the law of marriage. It can cause all kinds of confusion when we don’t read the word of GOD. Some people divorce over the wrong reasons. Such as the spouse not liking to eat out or not liking the same TV shows.

Adultery is a legitimate reason for divorce.  But still, our beloved FATHER GOD doesn’t like it when we divorce. Obey the laws of GOD and pray over our marriage at all times. The sexual sins that attack marriages are out there that will destroy all righteous marriages.

Marriage is sacred. To be honored. It is a gift from GOD for one naturally born man and one naturally born female. There are only 2 genders that GOD has created. Period.

For as how GOD created man and woman to be fruitful and multiply through procreation. This is how we have children. This is why there are many people on earth.

GODs word from the Bible….

1 Peter 3:7 – Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Colossians 3:19 – Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Ephesians 5:25 – Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

James 5:16 – Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Ephesians 5:28 – So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Genesis 2:18 – And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Ephesians 5:33 – Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Genesis 2:24 – Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 – And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  

1 Peter 3:1-22 – Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;  

Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

1 Corinthians 7:5 – Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

1 Timothy 5:8 – But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Ephesians 5:21 – Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Matthew 5:28 – But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Proverbs 18:22 – Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

Malachi 2:14 – Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

When you are married, you have a special bond. You love your spouse and have no desire for anyone else. You have respect for our beloved FATHER GOD plan on how we can live in comfort with your spouse.

You should be able to trust them, respect them, and sexually desire only them. GOD will see this and will bless you for being obedient to HIM.

Marriage is special. The wife takes the name of the husband, for he is the head and covering over the wife. She doesn’t keep the name of her earthly Dad. She is giving her husband the respect and acknowledging that she is under her husband’s covering. The covering of a good man of GOD is a blessing.

Uner your husband covering.

1 Peter 3:1-22 – Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;   

Proverbs 12:4 – A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Proverbs 31:10-12 – Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.   

Colossians 3:18 – Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Ephesians 5:33 – Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Once married, you are united as one unit. Each one is happy to please each other. And as you do this, our beloved FATHER GOD sees this too.

Love each other, pray with each other, and pray for each other. Dress with respect for your spouse as married people in modest attire. Both the husband and the wife to dress modest. For you will attract those who have lustful intentions like flies over garbage.

You don’t need or want that. Let people see the light of JESUS in you to testify the light. Not to see your flesh exposed to lustful eyes of those who walk in darkness.

I say all of this because if we do not respect what our beloved FATHER GOD sees as righteous and sacred, we will pay for our lack of respect by GODS judgment.

None of us should want that. Ever.

Peace and blessings ❤️

We each have a job and talent.

Learning a talent at a very young age.

Hello everyone!

Think about this. Going to a store to buy food, where did it come from? Who prepared it?

Your clothes, shoes, and accessories had to have someone design them too. All man-made  designs came from the earth that our beloved FATHER GOD originally designed. We just took from the earth and made it into something else.

Not all of us have the talent or interest in doing all things. It is the righteous talent that GOD has given each of us to survive in this life. We can’t possibly as humans know all things nor have the time to do it

We might pay money, barter, or trade. For what we do as a righteous talent and collaborate with each other to get the things we need.

In Unity, among us bringing a talent to the table. This aids each one of us in peaceful coexistence with those who are like-minded. Helping to help each other.

Growing your own food in your backyard, in a small space.

If we all realized this thought of helping each other, learning a trade skill such as growing food, raising farm animals, making clothes,  weaving, cooking, herbal medicine, repairing cars, motors, water preservation ,and whatever else we all might be able to live more off grid.

Especially with those of us who love the one and only true living GOD.

Being able to build your own home. That’s a talent too.

Romans 12:6-9 KJV

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

I see people less and less knowing how to do simple trades and skills like cooking from eating out every day. Not knowing how to sew  from just buying clothes instead.

Look at the commercials on TV with the prepackaged meals delivered to the home!

Not growing food, just only depending on the grocery store. So much that if the grocery store shut down for a week, what then?

Watch and pray at all times. Depend on GOD and not people. As you pray to GOD, listen to what HE is saying. Live by GOD’S order, accept JESUS as your savior.

Then, when HE speaks, you will hear in faith what HE is telling you. We are living in times when we need to get back into learning survival skills that our elders knew when we were children. With the spiritual discernment that our beloved FATHER GOD has given us.

What are your talents? Maybe I might need to barter with you one day🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 in a righteous  transaction. 🙂

Peace and blessings ❤️

Stay in prayer 🙏🏾 ❤️

1 John 3:15

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
Love thy neighbor!

Hello everyone.

As we head off into 2025, let’s learn from our past mistakes so we won’t do them again. For it seems like many of us still want to hold onto what is evil. And one of the things is hate.

1 John 3:15

“Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.”

King James Version (KJV

Not many people understand just how deep and serious racial hate is. And how it hurts not only the victim but the villain as well. GOD doesn’t approve of any of us hating each other.

Yesterday, I was called the “N” word by a coworker in the ladies’ room at work. She will never say a kind word. Always give me that glare of hate. But alone in the bathroom, she spoke that. Yes, in 2024.

Report it? It would be her word against mine. I would be the culprit. And she would get away with it.

GOD is handling it right now. 🙂

I am always polite,  but when someone is like this, I leave them alone. For they are filled hate with this from first eye contact. And without even saying a word. 😳😳😳

Those who say that there isn’t any racism anymore are the ones who are racist. They are denying it to cover up what they do say and think about people who are not like them.

Not good. Never defend what is evil, for that is also defending satan.

Satan hates all mankind and doesn’t want us united in peace worshiping the one and only true living GOD together.

Hate, violence, arguments, lies, and anything that is negative towards each other is a sin.

Think about this,  do you think that our beloved FATHER GOD wants this evil in HIS heaven?

No. This is why satan was kicked OUT of heaven. Satan doesn’t want any mankind in heaven either.

If you are a person who is racist doing what is evil, report it. Don’t think it is not your problem and you don’t want to get involved. You are wrong. You are allowing this evil to continue. You are allowing satan to cause problems and spread hate.

This type of hate will backfire onto innocent people who are not racist.(there are many people who do stand up against racism and are good people. )But because the victim will not be able to trust those who look like the racist. Thinking that they are racist too when they truly are not.

Racist are deceiving people. They will gather up others who are not racist to hate a person through lies and false accusations. That will cover up the true meaning of their hate.

For example. “I don’t like Cheryl because she always works at her desk and keeps to herself like she thinks she’s better than us.”

We want peace who love GOD and HIS SON JESUS. Those who hate GOD do not. Stand up for what is right by GOD. Not the world.

Let us bring in the new year 2025 with our eyes open to the truth by learning from our mistakes. Go by what GOD says to do.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace ✌🏾and blessings ❤️

Probably the same as just about everyone else.

List your top 5 grocery store items.

Food

I will say food and according to what the meal plan is for the week. Juice,  milk ,butter,  bread if I didn’t bake any, and eggs.

Paper towels, bathroom tissue, and facial tissue, too.

Besides food paper products.

Clearing products. For laundry and household.

Gasoline. I still own a conventional old-school gas running vehicle. And I am grateful to GOD  to have.

Peace ✌🏾and blessings ❤️

GOD, Jesus, and the HOLY Spirit.

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

I am going to tell you why.

See, as with many of us humans dwelling on this earth, we all have trials and negative situations that can happen from time to time.

I depend on my beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS with the Holy Ghost for direction and comfort.

All through my life, things happened. I had no control over what had happened that I didn’t like that was not of my choosing. And there were things that happened I did in error of my own choosing.

By GOD and HIS grace, I made it through. Trusting GOD. Giving praise to GOD for all HE has done ❤️❤️❤️

When you read the New Testament in the kjv of the Bible, it states of all of the nonsense and evil that was directed towards our beloved JESUS.  This shows the patience our Beloved JESUS had with mankind as how mankind treated HIM! JESUS even avoided falling to the temptations of satan too.

JESUS showed us how we need to be to be acceptable as Christians. How we should treat each other. How to love each other in GOD’S design. Not by the way mankind thinks it’s okay to do.

My FATHER GOD for HIS grace, my savior JESUS to save my soul, and the HOLY Spirit for comfort. 🥰🥰🥰

Peace✌🏾 and blessings ❤️

Hmmm.

Share what you know about the year you were born.

Let me see.

Well. I don’t remember a thing! Too young to even know what was happening. And that’s good.

I would not have liked to know what I put my beloved mother through that day. causing her those labor pains.

I just thank GOD we both got through all of that.😃.

GOD is good.

Peace ✌🏾 and blessings ❤️

With spiritual discernment.

Are you a good judge of character?

The connection through JESUS!

Basically, yes. I can.

I can usually tell where a person’s heart is after talking to them in a few minutes. And it has to with the type of words they let out of their mouth. And there are times just a look and attitude along will warn me of what’s going on with them.

Sarcastic remarks, cussing when they are not even angry, judging me by Stereotypes by the color of my skin and THEN saying something ignorant 🙄. This is coming from a negative spirit.

Now, if I meet a person with a calm spirit who will freely talk about JESUS and salvation without me even mentioning JESUS 1st, then I know I am talking to another member of the body of Christ JESUS. Or if I do 1st, we stand in agreement and praise our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS 🙏🏾 together ❤️.

Just like at work, people you work with who usually have a pleasant expression on their faces may show a look of concern or pain. You  know,  and if you have compassion, you ask, are they okay. You know their character from being with them.

Peace ✌🏾and blessings ❤️

How can some people celebrate Christmas without  JESUS?

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment
The only reason for the season!

Hello everyone.

I used to wonder why some people celebrate Christmas and had no faith or no thought of praying to GOD.

There is the Christian way that is the truth, and there is a secular way that is not the truth.

They would talk about what their kids wanted for Christmas or the dinner that they were making.

They love Christmas, and it is the most favorite time of the year. Loving the lights, and even having a park,their homes and desks at work with lights too.

I waited to hear anyone mention our beloved JESUS at all. Not once. Now, it gave me more thought as to why.

Christmas has become so commercialized with pagan symbols replacing the Christian symbols ! No navitivity scenes , no baby JESUS  , no acknowledgment of the true meaning of Christmas! Sad.

Don’t bow down to symbols.

When I was growing up, my grandmother told me that the reason for the star on the tree recreating the star that the wise men folled to see the baby JESUS. I do put a Christmas tree for that reason as to represent the birth of JESUS. There are no pagan thoughts of any kind in what she told me. That may have come after what my grandmother had told me why we it was done . Christianity came first in our house.

Instead, I see elf on the shelf, santa, snowmen, and Christmas trees that are not decorated to celebrate our beloved JESUS, but it celebrates something else. Like the scrooge, that green man the grinch.

The Grinch is in a santa suit.

Where is JESUS in the hearts of people nowadays? There is no reason for secular people to understand this Holy holiday by just  looking at Christmas movies without Christ.

If they who are secular don’t have faith and read the Bible, then they are only celebrating to have a good time and get gifts.

That is what satan wants. Is for all of us to turn away from GOD and HIS SON JESUS. It seems to be working with a lot of people too.

If we continue to ignore our savior JESUS and not teach our babies the truth about salvation  and the truth about Christmas, we will see more and more people mocking GOD and HIS SON JESUS on all Holy holidays.

This is so sad . You see the faces of those who reject JESUS,  who will be turned away at the gate of heaven.

JESUS is the only reason for the season , stand up for JESUS!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Luke 2:7 Context

4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 

5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

 6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

 8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 

9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people

Peace and blessings ❤️

JESUS!

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

I am going to say the one and only son of the one and only true living GOD. JESUS!

No one could ever, never, do what my beloved JESUS has done as a man walking the face of this earth to save the souls of mankind.

JESUS healed the sick, had the dead to rise again , healed the brokenhearted, and taught the truth about the word of GOD and salvation. Loved mankind so that HE gave HIS life. 😔

No one.

I thank GOD for JESUS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
