How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?
I am a newbie at making soap. Love making soap! I love it more when it turns out how I want to!😄😄😄
Trying it in one of those big white old fashioned soap molds from a flea market
Soapmaking us like being in chemistry class in high school again. You need to be accurate. Wearing goggles, long sleeves, windows open, rubber gloves measuring cups, vinegar for any skin contact with the lye and a good digital scale
My silicone mold I bought off of Amazon. For me, it’s easier to remove my soap batch for cutting.
My husband loves it. The first recipe came perfectly fine.
Proverbs 31:12
“She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.”
King James Version (KJV)
It the second one that came out yucky from a new recipe that I might have messed up with the amount of oil that made it too hard.
And no, I didn’t take a picture of it. I was not satisfied with it.😊😊😊 Even though it was usable.
But all and all it is fun. Trying out new molds that don’t require any cutting. They are preformed into bars of soap. Just pour and pop out of mold when done!
Learning from my mistakes lead me to.stick with the 1st batch until I get the recipe well under my hat.😉😉😉
I have heard of many people serving the LORD in their own homes since a child. And I had thought that was different but didn’t understand as to why people choose to do so. Who would be the pastor there was the first thing I had come to my mind. You are limited to the people you meet, no new people to come by and to worship with you.
And then to say, well suppose you are getting the wrong message that our beloved FATHER GOD had wanted us to learn and to hear? But as an adult I can understand as to why some people have chosen to serve the LORD at home with other like-minded people.
Many Churches these days and times have gone about worshiping our beloved GOD on their own terms and ways of the world. Picking and choosing what they want from the Bible to obey. Taking away and putting in words or taking out words in the Bible too. This is not good when there are people who are looking for answers to obtaining true faith in GOD.
Newbies need to understand what salvation really is. And why we need JESUS in order to get into heaven to be with our beloved Creator. We cannot make it on our own good deeds, for if we could we all would be able to get in by what we have done and then boasting about it when we got in.
There are many reasons that people prefer to have home church, when they are comfortable with it. It could be because the group of people that will pray and fellowship with is a smaller group of people. It could be because of Church hurt too. It could be because of the teaching of the word was not being addressed properly. Not ministering to the people as how GOD would have it.
Having your own Church service at home means you need to be extra careful to follow the word of GOD as how GOD sees fit so we all can be right for HIM. Tell everyone about JESUS and why our savior is our savior! Creating a Church family were everyone is family. To be careful of those who are not sincere and have that devil in them to stop your worship.
Matthew 18:20
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
As disciples of JESUS we need to keep the word going around the world as how JESUS would do it. To encourage others to do the same and keep the body of Christ JESUS held together by unity and faith.
What they have said is what I was thinking. The mega Churches out there really can’t get to know you and be as personable as the Home Church.
This is just a thought as to how we all can continue to attend Church when the community money making Churches have let you down and are not giving you the guidance you are looking for. Some to look into, pray over and think about to do for our LORD. GOD willing this is what we will do if it is GODS will.
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.
The look on my face when strangers or people you are not friends with ask personal questions. Those who usually don’t talk to you and ignore you.
” How old are you?”. Is just one of the personal questions a gossip will ask. Along with “How much money do you have in the bank, and where do you bank?”
A conversation held with a person who really doesn’t know you and is not a good friend who asks personal questions is usually a trouble making gossip.
They ask you things they should not. Because of my spiritual discernment, I am wondering why they need to know. You would not ask personal questions if you are in the mindset of allowing others their personal space.🤔🤔🤔
I have learned as a teenager that when females are jealous and compare themselves to other females, they become jealous. Due to not minding their own business.
The process of asking personal questions is to gossip and slander the person they are jealous of. No good comes from the culprit of telling others business. Never. If you see the news on television, you will see gossiping right after the weather forecast. So gossiping always there for the world to see and hear.🤥🤥🤥
I will use my spiritual discernment with people when having conversations with them. Because you need to protect your personal space to avoid distractions from doing GODS will. Staying on the path of righteousness. And keeping your personal space to yourself. 🙂🙂🙂
The devil uses weak people to cause problems for others. So beware of what you share with whom.
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?
Hello all.
The only one whom I would consider is like JESUS, whom I love so. But only JESUS is strong and wise to have come to earth to have us mankind.
And if I had to pick a day in HIS life just one, I would not be qualified. I aim to do his will, but because I am just human, I am not even worthy to tie HIS shoes.
There are no humans I would want to be ever. You may think that someone is doing better than you from the outside appearance.
But they could be totally wicked. Or I’ll mentally and / or physically. They could be extremely attractive people. Blessed in that aspect.
They can have riches and fame, too. And will head straight to hell when they die.
So this is why GOD does not want us to envy others. GOD will supply us with what we need.
I love sharing the word of GOD through all social media.
It goes before my paying job that I am blessed by GOD to have. But with the fact I work with secular people, it can be challenging to tell them the good news of the Gospel of JESUS.
When I have talked to people who do not know about salvation, they look so puzzled if they are not saved. But if they take the time to listen and think about what I have said , you can see them going through a thought process.
But for those who don’t want to hear about salvation, they get angry. It is as though a demon is taking over them before you. An expression on their face will change to a snarl.
When those who don’t love GOD, find out you do at work. It seems to get angry knowing that they are feeling convicted of what they do that is ungodly. (This picture is an exaggeration, of course. 😉)
Let people continue to do what they do. You told in love, and they listen in hate. The devil wants to keep their soul chained to hell with him. It is now left to the person as to what path they choose to walk on.
Finding another member of the body of Christ JESUS to share the word with is pure gold!
I have found one person that I have a common interest in our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS. And she is a blessing. She brings fresh air into the office. There are others who believe too working there.
But they are not at the same level of faith. Meaning we depend on JESUS, we love JESUS, and we pray to GOD. We study the word.
So this is why I love my job of spreading the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST. As I encourage others, I get encouraged too as I tell about salvation.
I hope all of you are well and good. And that you be strong and stay strong in your faith in our beloved FATHER GOD and JESUS. This world is going into more and more lost ways that lead those who don’t believe in GOD in a fog.
I love going to a Church that is righteous, warm, friendly, and truly loves GOD ❤️. That teaches salvation as to how our beloved JESUS had done.
Sadly I find there are more than one Church in my area that doesn’t seem to know what salvation is. They teach the opposite of what is Biblically correct to the people who attend.
One of the churches we went to taught about the Easter bunny and had overlooked the real reason for celebrating Easter. We saw no reason to return. You can’t mix pagan idols with JESUS.
Another was one of those mega churches that were into making money and had more than one branch or location in our city. Once we, my husband and I found this out, we had not been back. They were selling t shirts and other things with the church logo.
Another church was racist with the idea that they were the superior race the pastor had said this in the church. I picked up on it before my husband did. This was a 99% white church. Churches should not be all one color. Or disrespect those outside of one’s color. That is a sin. Breaking the commandment of loving others as how you love yourself
Another overlooked a married gay couple and had them sit up front in the church. These women are not learning the truth about this lifestyle. And they have disrespected a Holy ceremony by GOD. Seeking to have it blessed by GOD too. Our beloved FATHER GOD is not going to bless a sin that mankind will decide to do.
It is very hard to find a GODLY church. You walk into churches, and people are not dressed respectfully before GOD. The “Come as you are” doesn’t mean coming into church wear pajamas, or shorts, or anything you would wear to a nightclub.
Nowadays, it seems like there are more nonbelievers and trouble makers than there people who came to church to hear about salvation and for fellowship with others.
We would love to find a good GODLY church. A church that feels like an extension of your own family. Just like it was when I was a child attending a church that my family went to for generations.
The main reason for going to church is to worship GOD.
Pray for our churches and pastors. People may slip and fall. Pastors are people. They need to be prayed for and over, too. They can make mistakes like the rest of us mankind.
There are so many lost pastors leading lost people who are looking for truth when they are being told lies. People need the LORD GOD and HIS SON JESUS.
I hope you all are well and safe. Today is another day that our beloved FATHER GOD has made.
Life as a true believer in GOD and HIS SON JESUS is not perfect due to this not being heaven. But a fallen world where our faith in GOD is tested. And temptation is around us trying to steal our connection from our beloved FATHER GOD.
Temptation is annoying. As you know, you have to be strong and resist the devil and his nonsense. Sin is on satans mind constantly and wants us to be the same as he.
Living a confused life without JESUS guiding us mankind would be like walking into a dark room with no light for the first time. Bumping and falling into everything!
JESUS came to earth as in the form of a man. To teach us and show us the way into heaven so we could be with our beloved FATHER GOD for all eternity in heaven. Our Creator who loves us.
JESUS down to this fallen earth to teach us the formula of a good life to live. It is a simple, clean, honest way to live. To avoid sin is to avoid trouble and unhappiness.
Those 10 commandments that Moses was given by GOD were written in stone for a reason. So they could not be erased or rewritten by mankind. Just like the expression “written in stone” to mean you can’t cross it out with a pen or erase it.
Following GOD’S truthful formula for life will lead you away from worshiping false gods. Or images.
Not using the name of our beloved FATHER GOD vainly as in a cuss word or saying HIS name recklessly.
Doing GODS will on the Sabbath to worship and praise GOD. Not to party or do any labor.
Respecting your mother and Earthly dad. Never being mean or neglecting them at all. Loving them.
Not taking life from another person just because. This could mean not only physically but taking away the ambition to achieve good GODLY things that will honor GOD too. No bullying or harassing others. Killing the good intentions they have to do GOD’S will.
Leave other people’s spouses alone and love your own spouse. No sex outside of marriage. That will break up your marriage. No cheating, which is adultery. Don’t even look at others lustfully, even if you are single people.
Don’t take what is not yours. By putting unnecessary burdens on others by taking away their needs and joy. Causing them to do without what you have taken.
Lies and malicious slander told on innocent people causes harm. It is bearing false witness on your neighbor. It is gossiping, invading a person’s privacy to intentionally seek to do harm.
When we see people with nice things, there is a difference between wanting to buy an item or thing that a friend or neighbor has rather than to think about stealing or just taking it. Or admiring it. Just because you like it and want that exact thing they own too.
We all need JESUS. And it is impossible to get thru these commandments without JESUS. Because we can fail at these every day. And we may do these sins without knowing it.😔😔😔
It is good that we serve a forgiving and loving perfect GOD. To be without our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS would be horrible all because we didn’t trust JESUS for help!
There are many times in life when you may realize that JESUS has sent you a lifesaver. All you had yo do was to turn around and reach for it. He has helped you more than just once.
It may have seemed far away and hard to reach that lifesaver. For it to pull you out of your troubles. But had you kept your eyes on JESUS, and he you got out of your distress.
You grabbed hold tight, and JESUS pulled you into safety out of the deep water. You still hold on even out of the deep water. Because you are not fully out of the water , you are able to stand in it now. You are not in heaven just yet!🙂
You are holding on by faith. Knowing you feel safe and don’t want to slip back into temptation. You made your mistakes. You have learned that you can not make it to dry land without our beloved JESUS.
When you have repented, you feel like you are free and your burdens have been lifted off from you. You feel clean and lighter like you have lost 100 lbs or more! Feeling renewed.
Psalms 55:22
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
King James Version (KJV)
Trust in JESUS at all times. He knows all that you are going through. He can see what is going on. Just go to JESUS in prayer and trust. And believe HE will help you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
You know what? I don’t want to see anyone enter onto hell. Even if they are my worst enemy. There is always a chance that they can stop sinning , repent, and turn to JESUS to be saved.
Being caught up in the air into heaven. Those who reject JESUS will be rejected at the gate of heaven by JESUS.
I am no one that I would consider special. I am just someone who loves GOD and HIS SON JESUS. It gives me so much joy when I speak with them from my heart.
I can feel the warmth and love coming from them that is so comforting. Nothing here on this earth can even come close to comparing this feeling to. Because it is perfect coming from our GOD the FATHER.
When you speak to those who are equally yoked with you, there are joyful smiles of agreement together. There is a connection within the unity in the body of Christ JESUS.
This is cool❤️❤️❤️
Everyone should feel this type of pure, clean, righteous joy from our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS. When we know people who turn their back on JESUS now, we warn them.
But many are lost. And all we can do is tell them and let them decide. People need GOD. GOD doesn’t need us, HE is the Creator!
Some are stubborn and don’t want to listen. Pray for them. Leave it with JESUS. And wait. Let them be awakened by the light of JESUS from out of the darkness!
