Numbers 14:18. GOD is patient with us.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

It is time to get right with our beloved FATHER GOD. For those who will say I am not ready to do so and will do that later is taking a great chance in getting right with GOD.

Every single day I need to repent. Repent of the wrong that I know is wrong that I remember I did and those things I do not remember. We all are sinners. This is why we all need to come to JESUS and repent daily.

It is easy to go about life doing what you want, disrespecting GOD yourself and other people. It is easy to commit sins and not be fulfilled and keep doing them without complete satisfaction. And not realizing you will never get satisfaction from doing evil. Never, not in life and certainly not in death when you have chosen hell.

It is hard to be right. You have temptations you need to rebuke of that come at you in all directions. You work hard at being right, but you know you cannot do right unless you have JESUS help you.

GOD is patient with us.

Numbers 14:18 KJV

18 The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

HE is loving and has the last say in everything here on earth and in heaven. GOD knows what we think and sees what we do. GOD knows what is in the future of the choices that we make, and we don’t from being stiff necked and hardheaded people. We need to see for ourselves.

The devil messes with us humans. Distracts us from paying attention to what our beloved FATHER GOD is trying to warn us about what is going to happen. If we don’t listen to HIS warnings we will suffer from our bad choices. Instead of GOD good choices.

Friends, we are living in the last days if not the last minutes here on earth before our beloved JESUS will return. Then it will be all over. Judgement will then be in process and we all will have to stand before JESUS. Awaiting sentence.

Will JESUS say you can come into heaven, or will he turn us away and say,

“I never knew you.”

Those words will cut like a knife. You don’t want to be wone of those so-called Christians who do good works like it is paying their way into heaven. That is not the way into heaven. Only JESUS is the way. Period.

Our GOD is still patient.

GOD has been warning us of our mistakes, through natural disasters, sickness, wars and rumors of wars, hate crimes and the consequences of them too. Warning us to repent from what we do to each other, ourselves and the earth that we live in.

Let us fall on our knees before GOD and pray. Pray for the whole world and of the creation in it. I mean all creation too from the earth to the humans walking around in it. Waste not one moment of time for we do not know when it will be the last moment before JESUS returns.

Then our GOD won’t be patient when HE sends JESUS then! It will be done. The Heavenly court will be in session.

I say all of this because I don’t want to see anyone choose to go to hell. Heaven is were GOD is. Where pure peace and love is. No more pain, or crying. Where we can look into the eyes of our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS for all eternity long!

Peace and blessings.

Does Leprosy Turn Your Skin White Like Vitiligo?

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

When listening to a sermon by the late pastor Stephen Darby, he explained that leprosy was not what people assumed it was in the Bible. He said to read the Bible for yourself.

I needed to know. For with understanding of what the singer Michael Jackson had, it was Vitiligo. The same thing that Naaman in the Bible had, too.

When reading the Bible about the servant Gehazi, I was thinking about how deceptive he was to get valuables from the man that was afflicted with was was called leprosy.

What exactly was that disease really? To compare it with a leopard that has spots of dark and light.

Leopard.

I had always thought that this was what it was because they used the leopard to describe what it looked like to others.

Looking into it further, there is a disease where people can lose their fingers or become disfigured in other parts of their body. Called today “Hansens Disease”.

But that is what it was called leprosy, to become disfigured that way. Losing a nose , fingers toes or whatever.

Vitiligo is what happened to Naaman, who came to the prophet Elisha to be healed. That makes more sense when you read about this affliction Naaman needed healing for.

2 Kings 5:20-27 KJV

20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow

What is leprosy called nowadays?

According to Google:

Leprosy is now called Hansen’s disease. The term Hansen’s disease is often used because of the stigma associated with the word “leprosy”. 

Explanation 

  • Hansen’s disease is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae.
  • It affects the skin, nerves, eyes, and lining of the nose.
  • Symptoms can include blindness, loss of eyebrows, and nose disfigurement.
  • It’s a rare disease that doesn’t spread easily to others.
  • Treatment is very effective.

History

  • Dr. Gerhard H.A. Hansen discovered leprosy in Norway in 1873. 
  • Leprosy was once thought to be highly contagious and was treated with mercury. 
  • Chaulmoogra tree oil was used topically to manage leprosy for centuries. 

When we read the word of GOD,  we need to research it, too. Science backs up the word of GOD. In more ways than one.

Peace and blessings ❤️

Cold weather and snow.

What do you complain about the most?

It has been in the single digits here where I live when I started this post. And it’s still cold in the 20-degree weather. It’s not good for the body.

Or your car.

Or your home.

Or whatever else you can think of.

Or anything you need to keep warm and comfortable.

Humans are not made to live in those conditions. When you live in a climate where you are at an average temperature of 75 degrees above zero, that’s good. 😃

But when it’s hotter than 75 degrees, it starts to be a challenge to be cool. Avoiding those annoying biting bugs because they can smell your body chemistry once you begin perspiration.

So then the flip side of keeping cool and drinking plenty of water.

Or  your car’s AC.

Or your home’s AC.

Or whatever else you can think of.

And anything you need to keep cool or cold.

Complaining is not really good to do! Once you get used to one temperature being one way it changes. 😂

Just remember GOD is in control. And we will be alright.😀

Peace and blessings ❤️

Romans 15:4. Learning patience.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

Learning patience is perpetual as we live each  day until we are called home to be with the LORD.

We are all students in life. Going through tests of faith. We pass when we are allowed into heaven!

When we are praying for an answer, listening so we will hear the answer and learn from the LORD. Knowing exactly what to do. GOD will tell you wait, no, or do this or that.

I want to share with you an example of what I had gone through and how our beloved FATHER GOD answered me. As an adult, I continue to learn a new lesson in my life. To step back, be humble, be patient, listen, and wait on the LORD.

This year, there was below zero and single digit weather where I live. Serious stuff when you are used to having your water flow and pressure running when it’s above freezing weather. The weather is different now, changing.

A lesson to be learned was in progress.

When pipes decide to freeze up, it could be a whole line of pipe affected. So you insulate your pipes, use heat tape, heat lamp, and whatever is proper and safe to use that you know of at the time.

Cold sharp winds will always find a way to your pipes when you are unaware. But not all homes are made the same. But like I say, not all homes are designed and made the same. You find that out quickly.

Since our beloved FATHER GOD created all heaven and earth,  we learn just how powerful HE is. In situations when it is weather and other natural conditions, you can experience it.

We had our pipes freeze up. There was no water for a few days. And from previous experience when this happens, there will be a plug in the pipes. Either ice or sediment. So the pipes need to be warmed up.

Not my house, praise GOD, we don’t live in -15 degree weather!

Calling around to see who could help from different plumbers , they were coming up extravagant costs that would be equal to a good used 2022 year car.

Praying so hard for GOD the FATHER and HIS SON JESUS to intervene to send the right person to help. GOD did. After almost 3 weeks with no water, using a bucket with a seat as a potty, using stored and bought water. The water was used for cooking and bathing. That goes fast if you happen to like to drink water, too.

Our blessings came when our beloved GOD and JESUS sent two of our relatives who believe in GOD and love him too. GOD used them to help us.

And we did not have to pay anything for what they did from a new toilet to working on the pipes.

Giving our beloved FATHER GOD the glory.

Giving our beloved FATHER GOD the praise.

Being patient and watching how HE blesses!

Not only had we received the blessings but for those who helped us will too.

Patience, trust, and sincere prayer from the heart. Our beloved FATHER GOD hears it. Knows what we need. I feel GOD puts things into place even before we ask for help.

From Google:

According to the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, patience is a skill that can be learned through testing and trials. The Bible also says that patience can be developed by practicing walking in the spirit. 

Bible verses about patience

  • Romans 15:4: “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” 
  • James 1:3: “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience” 
  • Hebrews 10:36: “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” 
  • Romans 5:3-4: “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope” 
  • Luke 21:19-21: “In your patience possess ye your souls” 
  • Proverbs 15:18: “Hot tempers cause arguments, but patience brings peace” 

Another battle won by the LORD GOD! 🙏🏾

Peace and blessings be to you all❤️❤️❤️

Spam in any type of media or communication.

What do you complain about the most?

When you get home and are relaxed from your long day, this is what happens. You pick up your ringing phone, and a demon is on the other end of the phone.

Beware of the numbers I posted here because it is a scam.

They will try to accuse you of debits or unpaid credit cards and have your name and other information. None of what they have on you will be true. You don’t owe money.

They can’t tell you exactly who you owe , won’t send paperwork to prove that you do, will talk to nasty and get angry.

I pray for these lost souls that do this deception.

I looked on the internet for the location of this number, which called me from Almond, NY. They are usually landlines and spammers.

I am not going to give the owners the full name and address. What I am showing you is what is available free on the internet.

If you were to get a spam caller, look it up. See what’s going on for your sake. If they know about you, you have the right to know about them too.

Fair is fair.

Be safe and stay in prayer 🙏🏾 ❤️

Peace.

I not sure yet. Just give me a winning ticket then I will know. 😃

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

What would you do if you won the lottery?

If only I were a gambler and bought a winning  ticket. When I get that ticket, for sure, I would pay off all of my bills first. Get the bills out of the way.

Then I would be able to help my family seond, and my true friends third.

Of course, I would give to another ministry aside from this one here on my blog. I would ask GOD to lead me on that because of how people are in some churches and ministries.

But you have to be in it to win it. I don’t buy the lottery tickets to get money. That would be gambling, and it is not good.

So there is no chance of me winning the lottery. 🙂

Peace and blessings ❤️

Fried or oven baked chicken.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

I really don’t get tired of eating chicken when there are so many ways to fix it. And what to serve with it.

Any fresh vegetables or salad.  Mashed potatoes with butter or gravy. Seasoned rice or corn bread. Greens like Turnip, Kale, Mustard, or Collard.

When you are hungry and this what you waited all day to eat, saying grace to our beloved FATHER GOD is quick and to the point!😄

I hope that GOD will be patient and forgive us for rushing through our prayers 🙏🏾.

Have a blessed night ♥️

Peace ❤️

Matthew 4:1-11. Christians wilderness journey.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone.

This post today is late, for I usually have it posted hours before now. This did annoy me, for it seemed like there were distractions that needed to be tended to for no one else could tend to them.

When you are 6 years old, you look up to the adults in your life and think that you can’t wait until you are grown too.

When you see all of the responsibilities as a grown-up, you then miss being 6 years old. It can happen all at once in a year or a week. But you see what you were missing as a child.

Some good and some of it bad too.

Reading about our beloved JESUS in the wilderness shows me and you all that HE stayed focused on the end when all will be said and done.

Matthew 4:1-11

4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Reading the word of GOD can mean different things each time you read it and hit you differently, too. It will depend on what you are going through at the time. Like with Matthew 4:1-11.

It seems like just because you are a follower of JESUS and people know it, they test you. The wicked are watching you to see just what they can use to tempt you to get off the track of righteousness.

Persistent wicked non-believers people who have no true cause to hate true believers are listening to demons to distract you from your focus on GOD.

Praise GOD openly with your mouth. Stay in prayer.  Talk to GOD and HIS SON JESUS constantly 🙏🏾. People don’t have to know that you are communicating with GOD and JESUS. You can pray with your eyes open.

You could be at work. You can be looking at your computer and still be working. Don’t break your bond with them for GOD and HIS SON JESUS and the Holy Spirit that we can say is truly on our side ❤️

If you are going through a wilderness journey right now, pick up your Bible and read what our savior has gone through to show us the way.

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 ❤️

Cuss words and porn. Every last one, they both go together. 😡😡😡

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

If you have heard on cuss word, you have heard them all.

Hello everyone

I understand people who are in that way of thinking and lifestyle that say everyone does it. I am referring to those who use it without even being angry! Not to say it is okay then either.

Just even to describe a delious meal they have just eaten to another. “That was some good____! You need to get some of that!”

Don’t even tell them as nice as you can ,you would prefer they not use that kind of language.

Now, when the excuse is that everyone is doing it, they are lying for one thing they do not know everyone. And will lie again and say that they do.

The thing is, cussing brings negativity around you. The devil and his demons love to hear it. Like an invitation to have them near you. Tempt you to do more and more cussing.

Think about it. Porn is just as sinful,  that takes your mind and twists into perversion. It can be do addictive it can make a person sick physically from it as well as the mind.

What was bad in Bible days is still bad today.

Peace and blessings ❤️
