1 Thessalonians 5:10

Hello everyone !

I hope you all are doing well and that you all keep your faith strong. Spiritual warfare is a test of faith that seems to be everywhere you go.

As my husband and I were studying the word today, he picked out 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verses 1 to 11. And it is encouraging to read. The tests of faith that believers endured back in bible days are the same tests of faith believers have now.

The day of the LORD! Is the title header in my Bible to describe 5:1-11.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

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

When you see what the apostle Paul wrote, you can understand his concerns. These apostles were ordinary men who have sinned like the rest of us. But came to faith through CHRIST JESUS 🙏🏾.

And through all they went through in life, they were saved through the guidance and teaching of JESUS.

I am sharing this with you this scripture to encourage you as well too. We all need it. So please pass this on to others to encourage all brothers and sisters as the apostle Paul did.

Peace and blessings ❤️

John 14:2. A GODLY mansion.

What does your ideal home look like?

John 14:2

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

King James Version (KJV)

It is ideal yo be allowed into heaven to dwell for all eternity with GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY Ghost . To be able to meet all of the Angels there, too.

Our FATHER GOD knows what I would like, so it is there awaiting. Perfect in color, size, and comfort.

No busy bodies near my home , watching what I do. So there would be no need for any kind of fencing.

The garden would be perfect for me and me alone, praising our beloved FATHER GOD for all eternity.

And I suppose my home will stay clean and smelling sweet without having to toil over constantly. The temperature would be perfect at all times. Never uncomfortable in a beautiful perfect mansion!

Always having our ever loving GOD watching over me. Being able to see HIS eyes and JESUS eyes. Being at peace. To me, all of those things are ideal!

Peace and blessings ❤️

To see JESUS face to face.

What are you most excited about for the future?

What else are we living for? What will give us perfect love and comfort? But to live for JESUS and to get your reward, to have your soul rest at the feet of GOD ?

See when you are saved and love JESUS the savior of your very soul ,you long to be with HIM when it is time to leave this fallen world or HE returns.

This world is not everlasting. But the unity , love, and peace that is in heaven. Like being in a warm, comfortable bed on a cold winter night. Getting a hug from your loving grandmother or mother when you need that hug. But even though those are pleasantly positive feelings, those feelings fall short of what comfort and love you will get in heaven!

To answer the prompt, I will say JESUS is what I am most excited about. Because of what HE done for all mankind!

Peace and blessings ❤️

Fellow believers you may know for a Praise Party!

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

We would have a “Praise Party” with a hood meal afterward!

Prayer and food brings people together who have that common bond.

Pastor David Lynn of Christsforgiveness ministries!

Mr and Mrs “H” of Homestead heart from youtube ♥️

Todd and Rachel from “That 1870’s homestead”

Wanda and Danny from Deep south homestead on youtube.

Scott and Keisha from leadfarmer73 and ladylead on youtube.

Pastor Allan Parr from youtube “The Beat”.

We would have a good meal. Enjoy each other’s company and fellowship as we got to know each other as we gave all praise to our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.

We all don’t have to agree on all things, but we would agree on salvation. The only way to heaven is through JESUS!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

Babies singing.

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

When I saw this beautiful baby with a beautiful spirit singing, Praise the LORD, I was filled with joy!

Teach your babies the laws of GOD while they are young. Before the world tries to steal their souls and keep them from entering heaven.

Even if you need to home school. For the schools are filled with evil. From what they teach to mass shooters.

Stay in prayer, and keep your peace and spiritual discernment at all times. GOD is good. Keep all children of the world in prayer!

Peace and blessings ❤️

1 Peter 5:8.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

What TV shows did you watch as a kid?

Warner Brothers to me made the best drawn cartoon. This is Wil.E Coyote and Road Runner.

1 Peter 5:8

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

King James Version (KJV)

As a child, I first started watching cartoons. I was fascinated with the artwork and wondered how they could make the characters move!

The style of drawing I like to watch was the Road Runner cartoons because the bad guy Mr. Coyote never got away with anything. Never got the Road Runner!😄😄😄

In fact, those devices or weapons of choice didn’t work. They would backfire, turning him into a crisp, leading him to speed off a cliff, or have a large rock stop him from chasing the Road Runner. 🫣🫣🫣

  

Isaiah 54:17

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

King James Version (KJV)

But not only was the Coyote persistent, but with all of the money , time, and energy he wasted to try to catch the road Runner, he could buy fried chicken from Popeyes.

Psalms 37:32

“The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Peace and blessings ❤️ Beep! Beep!

From one believer to another, a joyful experience.

Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses.

It started like this. Not as an interview , but a casual conversation. Because it would have been the same topic and conclusion.

In the breakdown, I had my Bible out to study some scripture. I was plugged into my phone to listen to a message from a Pastor. He mentioned some scripture, so I was looking it up.

I was spread out with my study Bible in NIV and a KJV, too. I saw her glance up. But continued listening to Pastor Voddie Baucham on youtube.

She has curly blond hair that fell past her shoulders. Her bright blue eyes shone through her eyeglasses. Pleasant personality, pretty plus sized woman.

Do what will help you to learn the word of GOD.

The other woman in the break room said,

“You know. I see you doing your study. That makes me want to di mine.”

“You are a believer, too?” I replied

“Yes, I am. I got away from it . Now I see you doing so, I need to now.”

I was thinking good met another believer. I hope she was sincere in her confession. I replied,

“Good, let’s give GOD a high five!” As we did that, we both bid each other a blessed rest of the day.

Another soilder on GOD’S team!

That was not really an interview where there was a list of questions. But it was a good time of getting to know each other.

Secular people are monolithic in their lifestyle and how they think. Not wanting Christians around them at all. Anything that is morally correct they seem to get hurt feelings from it. Giving them the spirit of conviction.

So when when you or I meet another true believer, thank GOD for that breath of fresh air!

Peace and blessings ❤️

Mark 16:15. To give glory and honor to GOD and JESUS foremost. GOD

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Why do you blog?

Putting GOD first and foremost. To tell everyone about the good news of the Gospel of JESUS. As a child of GOD, I want to share the love of GOD and what I feel in my faith for HIM and HIS son JESUS.

I want others to feel this joy I have because of my trust and faith in GOD and HIS SON JESUS, too, right along with me! What they have done, are doing, and will do for me and all of my loved ones.

GOD IS GOOD!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Mark 16:15

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

King James Version (KJV)

Those who do not understand me or why I have this joy in life will try to take my joy as something else and make it negative so as to steal my joy.

Making the smile i have as something negative. Because they are lost in the lies that told by satans whispers. These lost souls are the ones who listen to satan and not GOD.

Prayer, trust, and faith in GOD at all times.

GOD does not want any of us mankind to perish in to hell.

Pastor Voddie Baucham .Explaining faith and understanding why many who are lost. Please listen to the whole message with your Bible open.

No one earns their way to GOD. Many people are looking to be their own savior with arrogance. They will learn from what GOD will show them.

This is why I do this blog to plant the seeds that GOD will see fit to be nourished in HIS way and time.

Once that happens, all glory will be given to GOD!

Pass this forward to all you love and know who needs salvation!

Peace and blessings ❤️

JESUS came to show us the way!

Hello everyone!

  Thinking about what JESUS has done for all mankind, what had endured for all of us mankind can not be measured. HE is a gift from our beloved FATHER GOD.

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

King James Version (KJV)

JESUS was tempted but remained good. No sin did he commit. HE was tempted by the devil to sin when he was in the wilderness for 40 days and n ights. JESUS did not fall into temptation

JESUS remained strong against all temptation s. The devil tried to tempt our JESUS more than once and failed too

JESUS is strong and stayed on track even while satan was trying to distract JESUS. It did not work. JESUS stayed on track. Even when tempted.

He told us GOD’S laws. How to please GOD. The way into heaven that by JESUS alone.

Repentance, turning away from all sins and following JESUS.

And knowing that JESUS will never leave you, ever. And that’s a good blessed thing. 😀😀😀😀❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Peace and blessings ❤️

Genesis Chapter 6:19

Dogs or cats?

I love both cats and dogs! Our pets are our “fur babies”. They love us unconditionally. They know when we are upset or sad and want to give us comfort. They know we love them unconditionally, too.

Cody is and was our fur baby boy. He was so cool to show off when we were traveling with him state to state. He was a masculine looking samoyed or “smiley” dog. Sadly to say he is no longer with us.

He had crossed over and is with the LORD if pets go there. I am not sure if they do.😔 I find nothing in the Bible about it.

Genesis Chapter 6

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive

Cody. My samoyed who has been gone 5 years now and I miss so much.

Where I live out in the country, there are many cats. Mine was special to me. We named him Samson. He was so cool too

The cat you see in the pictures is not Samson. I have his pictures on a different device. So if I decide to post them later, I will.

Samson and Cody liked pork rinds as I do. My husband does not. So we had a special kind of treat to eat together. Cody and Samson were buddies by the way. So when I said,

“Treat, want a treat?” They both came to get a piece!

They were good company for us. Samson caught the mice and got rid of them. Cody protected us on our travels. And he loved riding in the car. Samson didn’t and stayed with friends on our trips.

They were cool fur babies. At least GOD gave me them to love. I miss them both. 😢

Peace and blessings ❤️
