Psalm 23:5 Dinner and fellowship.

 

Church_Supper_Praying

Good morning everyone!

It is starting to get warmer now in my area and we are planning what to sow in the garden, I do love to garden. Growing plants, flowers and food bearing plants is very relaxing. GOD has blessed the earth with food, and we need to learn how to prepare it.

1 Corinthians 10:31

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

Fellowshipping with other people of faith is good bonding. Other members of the faith will encourage you as you will encourage them. We are all apart of the same team and tribe of JESUS. So we need to show that love of Christ in all we do.

Matthew 5:44 King James Version (KJV)

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)
Yes it is easy to just avoid those who give you a hard time, as it is written in Matthew 5:44 but it is better to forgive than to hold on to a grudge forever.
We do forgive so we can be forgiven. And sometimes it feels as hard as trying to get a camel through the eye of the needle. But we do it. Over and over again too.
Sharing a good meal with your tribe is a good thing, an extension of your family. Bring something different to share with them for a meal and some scripture to share too.
Have some prayer for the soul and food for the body.

 

So here is something different I want to share with you. I have been trying my hand at some pickled eggs. I  just loved how this batch did turn out. They tasted like the very ones I had as a child. This would be great with a garden salad to bring to the table.

1 Corinthians 11:33-34 King James Version (KJV)

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

Looking for the ingredients that i remembered tasting in the eggs , i looked for a recipe that had those in it. I wanted a dill taste like what i had tasted in the very first egg i had eaten.

The eggs were in a jewish deli where they had the best pastrami I could even imagine. I mean I thought this was the best pork i have had out side of home. But then Mom said it was beef and I was totally shocked. So to ease the shock I took another bite.

But this is where the eggs come in. I saw these eggs on the store counter in the largest glass jar I have ever seen. Must have been about 30 or so eggs in it! All packed in the delicious juice.

 

And this picture is what I made. They were good with a salad too. I do not know if by going by this recipe if it Keto friendly or not.

This is a picture of the Ball jar I used. It took 10 eggs. What didn’t fit I made some egg salad.

Not my recipe, I got this from allrecipes.com

Give a Praise Party for GOD!

Taco-Dinner-2

As the warmer weather approaches I will hear about the parties some people are planning or have gone to. If you are on the check out line in a grocery store, these things are a common conversation with some and their peers. It’s like you are trapped into hearing this sort of thing from just wanting to get some milk and eggs for your family.

I was wondering how many people would come to a party where we all would just want to praise GOD for all of the blessings that HE has given them. Or to even have some prayer time to give a bond to all who are around you at this party in honor of our heavenly FATHER GOD.

We do have out birthday parties, wedding parties, baby shower parties, graduation parties, welcome home parties and so on. But have we just had parties to gather for fellowship, prayer and bonding with your family and friends to praise GOD?

I want to do this. I want to have my family and friends around where we can all gather around , praise GOD, give each other encouragement, hug or hold hands with the love of JESUS in our hearts. Just having an excellent time sharing the love of JESUS.

I would like to invite those who need to learn more about the LORD GOD who need some answers and encouragement. All while serving up delicious pot luck dinners , eating the good home cooked meals. Food, talk, smiles and praising GOD. You can have even more fun at a praise party than at a party where you will see people drinking and loosing control.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP

Here are some links to my favorite site for Bible verses. It is so cool because you can get this on your phone when you do not have your hard copy Bible with you!

https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Praise-And-Worship/

Psalms
Chapter 150

 

1Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

 

For you will see that what they do there at that theme typed party, GOD is not in it. And they do not want HIM there. It could be an office party where the boss wanted everyone to be there, and you comply.  If you were ever invited to a party where there are those who lose control like that, politely and quietly leave. If you are new to the office, it is best to just show up and not stay. It is not for you if you choose to follow the LORD.

The best parties to have, is when there is love there. As having your loving family and friends there where there is good food, good clean games, good talk and laughter! Just enjoying each others company. But what if you know of a person who lives alone, or is in need of a good church to attend? We can invite them to our praise party.

There are many elderly who live alone and not by choice, who maybe lonely and just need to get out. Maybe they can not get out because of where they live and no one is able to help them to travel. Maybe there is a family that does not have much, or the spouse is ill in the hospital and they need to be around people to give them encouragement.

We all need JESUS, and we need JESUS at all times.

See, when you are in a party mood, it is a happy mood. And you can have some Bible reading before the meal. I say before so you will have people stay longer. And when the desert comes out it is the finishing touch. You can give out little Bible tracts that pertain to the main theme of this party. Giving praise to GOD. Here are some links to where you can print some out and hand them out during your Bible readings.

Psalms Chapter 117

1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

4.   FREE CARTOON TRACT.COM

http://www.freecartoontract.com/are-you-a-good-person-english/GoodPerson-English-3-751x1024

This site above “free cartoon tract.com” is interesting as how they made more like a cartoon. Still you get the point with scripture.

 

With these sites and with any site you will need to read the tracts with your Bible right next to it BEFORE you give them to people. Just because it says it is a Bible tract with scripture in it does not mean it is right. Many are may have false teachings.

Jack Chick.com is another site for Bible tracts, but his way of spreading the word is with a scare theme to it and many people do not like that. And if they get turned off with being scared and not showing a loving heart if JESUS in it they will not be interested and you can lose them. You may not be able to convince them to turn to GOD, accept JESUS as savior and be saved.

So research the best ones on these sites that show the  love of JESUS in it and not to scare people. We are ALL sinners, not one of us is sin free.

Praising GOD for all of the blessing HE has given us. There maybe some people who do not see the blessings they have, until we show them. Praising GOD is one blessing, being able to enjoy good company, having a roof over your head, food in your tummy, feeling loved by GOD. And for a “Babe in the LORD” as how my husband would say coming to a Praise Party will be food for the soul.

worship dinner 2018

I get my inner faith battery charged when there are meetings and gatherings where we all can talk about the LORD and encourage each other by praising GOD! We all need this. No matter what level of faith you have, because there is power and strength in all of us that comes from the FATHER GOD of all heaven and earth and HIS beloved son JESUS!!!

So, whose bringing the dessert? (smile)

Have fun at your praise party! Bring tracts that tell about the love of JESUS and why we need HIM. Put a number of someone besides yourself if they need to talk to someone later or a good church to attend if they do not have one.

Be blessed and never stressed. May a blessing come to all who read this blog and the others, and for sharing and passing it along to others to read too.

Peace! 🙂

GODS blessings or the devils rewards?

opulent mansion 2018

I know many people who do say they would like to live higher up on the income scale to live fancier. Or to play the lottery so they can win the mega millions so they can buy more things. I can truly understand that if you are struggling to make ends meet and you are weary of that struggle. Wanting to catch up on your bills so you can breathe would be a relief.

And when we see many of the celebrities, sports figures. politicians and actors making the big bucks we want to as well. But you do not know exactly how these people have earned the money they have to live so opulently. They maybe living a bold lie as to have the public thinking it is all legit.

It may not be what you think. And if they are not praising GOD and living right by GOD…..you know it is not what you expect if the Bible is very clear as to how GOD wants us to live. Those that are open about the  lifestyles they live that are breaking the moral codes that GOD has set forth in the Bible, then this is not blessed. Why would GOD bless us for doing evil when in the Bible HE gave us lifes blessed instructions?

Not to say that those that are in the Church can do no wrong, it would not be fair. For we all are in the flesh and need JESUS to save us from our sins. But you will find evil and temptation where ever there are people, none of us are perfect. None of us are free from sin.

Living a lifestyle where you don’t think about GOD or have forgotten HIM because you can buy what you want and need anytime you feel the need, this may be the only heaven you will see.

Many succesful celebrities are for what GOD is against, like the sexual freedoms, vanity, lying, lifestyles, and other immoral things. The problem is that the public, starting with the younger children see this. And some of the immoral teachings are tought in school. Putting this nonsense upon our children to make them sway into thinking as how the teacher or school system wants our children to think. Once the removal of prayer had school happened I remember my parents saying the moral decay is evident. This led to a new outlook on life with kids becasue of being introduced to no moral leaders in school. No one to lead them into the right direction there in the schoool. If they see an adult do wrong and not get into any trouble from it then they will follow behind this “nice and likable” teacher. These teachers reward kids who listen to them for this is the way of satans people.

Forget if you teach about the ways LORD to follow JESUS if you do not do so yourself. If you are not strong in the word and love GOD will all of your heart, who will teach your child? And this is giving your child to be lied to by the devil as not to listen to you. Not to listen to the word of GOD. And not to listen to GOD period.

See, it takes a lot of money to be influential and to lead our children into destruction. The type of music and the type of images that are thrown at us all from the lost souls are not with GOD in mind first. They are sexual stimulations that will have people pulled in and addicted to this to where it will destroy alot of relationships our children will get into. Even if it is just a simple friendship to wanting to find a god person to marry. May not happen if they are not living the lifestyle of choice and not the one that GOD will BLESS!

Many very popular female are known for sensual gestures and whatever on stage. And kids are taken there some with parents to see the performers. These beautiful women have excellent voices could sing their hearts out. They do make top money , have hits. But they are seductive. Maybe they know what they are doing, maybe not. These are just some of the people out there doing the very same thing. I wonder what it would be like if they sang gospel songs?

Isaiah 57:3-4 King James Version (KJV)

But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.

I would say they may not be blessed….but rewarded by the devil for doing the things they do out in public.

I would not feel comfortable living in a house so large that I would need to use my 20 speed bike to peddle from one end to another. People do make their own choices but I could not do it, I would want to scale down. I would like my whole family living in the same house!

Philippians 4:19 New International Version (NIV)

19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Also, a prayer for blessings at this site too on Crosswalks!

https://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/debbie-mcdaniel/a-prayer-for-gods-favor-21-verses-of-his-blessing-and-sovereignty.html

 

The blessings that GOD will give to you will go beyond your understanding. You will be in awe. They will be no one that can touch it and take it from you. It came from GOD and it is all for you.

Stay in prayer, listen to waht GOD is telling you. Becasue when you do pray HE hears you. GOD does not want us to go and dwell in hell forever. He loves us. Never let something that is too good to be true, that has no signs of GOD in it fool you. You will know it is from GOD, because HIS blessings come from HIS pure love.

 

quote-hell-is-the-highest-reward-that-the-devil-can-offer-you-for-being-a-servant-of-his-billy-sunday-180801

Let GOD bless you with all of the things you will need and want in your life to stay on the path of righteousness. Don’t be impressed at the wealth you see others have or the advances they get, or the people they know.

You know GOD. You know JESUS. Depend on them only and you will have an abundant loving life with them in it guiding and protecting you and all of your loved ones at all times!

Be blessed and never stressed! May there be  blessing for the reading and the sharing of the word of GOD.

Peace!

Team JESUS! The winning team!

Team JESUS emblem 2018

I like to watch sports at times on TV. And I will see many people enjoying them as I watch sports with my husband. I see how happy, joyful, and faithful to the team they favor. They will stick by the team through and through. Will be ready to defend the teams they are on and will break up relationships too if they feel they are offending the their team. Such as with people who want to date others who like the same football team they are on only.

Wearing the team colors openly. Be it with the teams colors are in a uniform or just painting their faces. They will proudly stand in front of a camera and boast about the team and be loud. They will know all of the players, the score and plays made ,and the events that happened in past games. Really devoted fans.

The stadium will be packed in all kinds of weather, with a good chance of getting sick from sitting outside in the rain, cold or snow fall!eagles-fans-snowbowl-

But in this type devotion I GENERALLY do not see with a lot of people who say they believe in GOD. I wonder if these same people would go through all of that , to hear a pastor like Billy Graham or TD Jakes? If they knew that coming there in the same arena GOD would put the words into the pastors mouths that will lead them to salvation? I know that if the weather is bad enough those pastors would not want people to get sick or hurt, so they may through GODS wisdom have to postpone the event.

When I go into church there are some empty seats there, not always packed. When I was a child it was hard to find a good seat to hear the Pastor give his sermon. Elbow to elbow we all sat. Some had to go into the balcony if they were late. And we had to line up early outside of the church to get a good seat. I miss when church was like this. In the last ten years or more, things really started taking a nose dive in attendance.

Faith is strong with many in the worldly things of mankind. Pushing GOD aside unless they need HIM for something, like they are sick and don’t want to die, or they need money, or a mate. Otherwise putting GOD in the back pocket or rear burner. Using HIM as a tool. Not good. And GOD knows our hearts, so HE knows what we are doing and thinking.

No one want to feel like they are used, or taken advantage of. I just feel this is what we maybe doing if we know it or not and need to think about what we are doing. When you are in a good relationship with a person, you do not want to have the feeling they will be around you when they need you for something. Or call on you only when they need money or want something else.

You want a real relationship and bond. You want to be loved and respected as how you do for the people in your life. And this is what I feel is important about the relationship we all do need with GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS!

You want to know you are on the same page, same team as the person or persons you are in a relationship with. The only team I know that works for me is #TEAMJESUS! You have everyone righteous on your side and aiming to reach the same GOAL. (pardon the pun, there maybe more on the way!) You all read the same rule book, the Bible. You know who took the hit for the TEAM and this is our LORD and savior #KINGJESUS!

JESUS was not ashamed to do all that he could to save all of mankind from the sins we all have done our whole lives long. JESUS is the one and only son of the true living GOD, and He obeyed GOD and did HIS will here on earth! All that JESUS did was in love to save us from losing to the opposing team (satan) of the lost and unsaved heading to total destruction.

Be not ashamed of the gospel, be proud to say that you are on #TEAMJESUS!

Rock is on team JESUS 2018

The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson did so, and so can we all. He posted this on his twitter account.  https://twitter.com/therock/status/417352660191571968

When I see people who are well-known doing this I have a new respect for them. Faith is very important to have in the fallen world. If you become successful with JESUS leading you give praise to GOD. It is a good thing , it will encourage others too who do like to follow sports. Let them know this person has JESUS in their life.

Romans 1:16

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

 https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Romans-1-16/

If we are not on the same loving team as JESUS, then what. You can do all you want and need to do here on this earth with saying negative things about JESUS, denying HE has ever existed, not forming a positive relationship with JESUS all you want. But, then too do not be surprised when on the time when we are all on bended knee on that day of judgement what JESUS will say to you.

Matthew 7:22

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

 

Think about all of the people you love right now who push GOD and HIS son JESUS aside. It is sad, for you know they are not on the same team. Pray for them and all who have turned away from GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS. Get them drafted into the team through being a prayer warrior and keeping your faith strong. They need GOD and JESUS too.

May you reieve a blessing for the reading of this word, and to share it with others as well. Have a blessed day in the LORD!

Suffer little children, and forbid them not

Chridrens innocent sweet-love friendship 2018Matthew 19:14

“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

This picture and other pictures like this remind me of when I was a child. I lived in a nice house that my Parents owns and loved it. I had kids to play with that were my favorite kids to play with outside of my favorite cousins growing up. So to me they were like an extended family.

All of my friends were church goers and came from families that prayed and stayed in prayer. Our parents all worked, Grandmothers were the best cooks we knew. And we as kids all liked the same things to play with and the same types of games too. I saw my friends for who they were and not the color thing I just thought they looked like their parents and it was not a racial thing. My friends did too.

We enjoyed looking at the clouds and would notice on a beautiful summers day how the clouds would have different shapes. Like some would look like people, dogs, or a foot. Stuff like that. We made mud pies for our doll babies, had “pretend husbands” that were actually the brothers to some of the girls I played with. My friends came from all back rounds of color , African-American, Polish, Puerto Rican, Asian, Mexican and Jamaican. All in a middle class neighborhood. Nothing that is stereotypical, just people living together none of the “you people “nonsense then when we were little.

black children and white children as friends 2018

But then as were got older, like around 7 years old…things changed. It was something that my Polish friend and I didn’t see coming. Her grandmother (who was different from the other grandmothers) moved in with her. And I could hear on a summer’s day of her complaining about me playing with her while the window was open. “She shouldn’t be out there with that child….” along with some other things. I just didn’t want to believe she was talking about me. Because those things she was saying I was was an evil lie. This woman didnt know me from Adam as the expression goes.

I told my Mom about it, and it was not good. I think my Mom, when she got the chance let them know how she felt about it. But I was never able to play with my friend again. Nor was she to play with the rest of the kids who were not white. We both cried because of that, it was awful. We didn’t understand how you can do something like that to us. She lived right next door to us, and we would see each other more than the other kids.

Racial division is something that is pure evil. It is hate with no locgical GODLY reason to back it up. It keeps people from living peacefully with each other as how GOD wants us to do. What is the point in it? To keep people from living peacably with each other. A lot of evil is done from this, as what I am saying right now as to what happened to my friend and me.

Romans 12:17-1921st Century King James Version (KJ21)

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Kids learn from all of this. Now I don’t know how this has affected my friend right now or how she is living her life. I don’t know if she passed this on to her children or not. But I do know that what ever was told to her about playing with other kids that are not like her just because they told her we are all bad….may be something she got used to and just dealt with it.

I know I did not change what is in me. I wanted always as far back as I could remember to be like JESUS. Have a pure love in my heart which then give you an inner sincere peace.

John 14:27 KJV

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

More verses on peace of mind and inner peace: https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Peace-Of-Mind/

When children are born, they are not thinking about color like the adults do. Yeah as a child they do see that there are people who look different. But what they are thinking about is someone to play with who is small like they are.  Color is something that elders teach the kids for what ever reason they assume is right. But it is wrong. For all hate is influenced by satan. GOD IS LOVE!!!! Satan comes to steal your joy as he did for me and the friendship of my friend as a child.

We all need to teach our kids the ways of the LORD our GOD and not the evil ways of the world. For it is destructive, leading all humans in to the pit of hell if we are not careful.

There is no such thing as race. No such thing as one being superior to the other simply because they do not look like you. Dont listen to the devil and then pass this lie on to your children. They will suffer for it and live in confusion for the rest of their lives. Simply hating all people eventually, becasue they will not love themselves too.

Matthew 22:36-40King James Version (KJV)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

When we raise our children to hate we are committing a sin. And then we are teaching our children to sin as well….leading on to keeping this disease of hate going.  Once we all understand what GODs way is and follow it we all will be truly happier. For the devil lies to us to blind us from the truth of GOD. Stay in pray and stay close to GOD and HIS beloved son. For it is GODS heaven we want to live in, to be able to see GOD ever so lovingly smiling upon us with HIS son JESUS on HIS right hand side smiling upon us all too .

Praise and glory be to you dear beloved FATHER GOD at all times now and forever more and to all of eternity long. Thank you FATHER GOD for our savior JESUS Christ!

May you all have a blessed day and from the reading of this post, and for sharing it to others as well.

Peace!

GOD’s Truth of the devils lies, to whom will you listen to?

the lies of satan 2018

“You are not pretty”

“You are too pretty”

” You are fat”

“You are too skinny”

“We don’t like your kind…”

“You are too good.”

“You are not good enough, you are bad”

“You are not smart enough”

“How did YOU know how to do this?”

“Oh, this is not really all of that fattening, its okay to eat any kind of dessert!Calories don’t count!  Nobody gets fat from eating desserts”

“Don’t listen to the Boss, do the assignment like this as to how I am showing you. They will never know….”

“Don’t read the Bible, it is all made up by some old men years ago. None of that is true.”

“GOD doesn’t listen to prayers. Everyone is going to hell.”

“JESUS does not love you.”

“You are stupid for believing and going to church….”

“Everybody does this….(or that)”

How many times have you heard people saying thing like this and to hurt you, or keep you from doing the right thing? I have heard this and more since I was a young child and didn’t care what the non believers thought. I could see all of the trouble that they were in , had been in and were heading to again. They did not turn off of the path of trouble and destruction.

I was given the name of “goody two shoes” as a child by those who thought that was supposed to make me feel bad. But you know what, I happened to like being called that. Once they saw that I liked it they began to call me bad. Whatever will give you joy, there are just some people who prefer to do evil and to steal your joy.

I praise GOD for all of the situations that HE has kept me and all of my loved ones out of. There were always temptations in our way, and you can slip but never fall for the LORD will pick you up. It is the fact that you know you slipped up and are forgiven and given another chance because of the love that comes from GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS that we keep on going.

Whomever said sticks and stones will break bones , but words will never hurt you was not right in making up that rhyme. You will remember words that were told to you at times that cut like a knife leaving a scar. The first initial cut of the words sting and hurt goes away, but like I say it leaves a scar.

So many people have been hurt by words, and the list at the beginning I made, is just some “cuts” people say from being tempted by the evil on. See this does two things. It makes the person listen to the temptation, fall into going through with saying the mean words that the evil one put into their head. Then once spoken to the victim, the feel the hurt, and the response to the sin can go full circle depending on how the victim responds.

It could cause the person who was hurt to hurt back. A sin for sin. But who started it? The one that started the whole thing is sitting back laughing at the two humans. No he may not have made the 1st person walk over to the other with the evil intentions, but if he had left them alone there would be no confrontation and hurt feelings.

We all get people who seem to love negative drama around them at all times. But we need to stay in prayer too. Stay far away from the “sinful drama” lovers as much as possible.

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)

The evil watches the righteous to seek to destroy them at any cost. The hate that they have in them consumes them with every breath they take. Relentless and weary from no rest, they are hell bent to doing evil. But they forget who is in charge of all things. Our ever-loving GOD in heaven and the creator of all heaven and earth.

1 John 3:8

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”

King James Version

See? The word is what makes sense and gives me a calm feeling within me. It is true the evil one was here before mankind. He saw us being created and knows our weaknesses. We all need to know the evil tempts all humans even when JESUS walked the face of the earth satan tried to tempt our JESUS into doing wrong.

Here is a link to 6 things the devil is lying about on Beliefnet.com

http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/galleries/6-things-the-devil-will-trick-you-into-believing.aspx?   Read the list on this link for more encouragment.

1.Do not trust the enemy satan.

2.That happiness is unattainable.

3.That GOD’s word is not real.

4.are insignificant.

5.Church is not important.

6.You are insignificant .

7.Gossip does no harm and your words can not hurt.

The physical words out weight the spiritual world.

Psalms 28:7

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Knowing the truth in GODS words means we need to read it. Not assume from what anyone’s word is about the word. YOU read it yourself. Get strong in your faith and trust in the LORD. Stay in prayer. These secular people who are lost in sin and love sin do not want the LORD in their lives because of that. If GOD hates sin, we do too. They know the presence of GOD walking into a room and it is within us who love the LORD. 24/7.

Ephesians 6:10-18King James Version (KJV)

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Listen to the encouragement that our loving GOD has given us all through the BIBLE! The people in the Bible times have gone through the very same sins we all go through today. The difference is the people and that we have mass technology all over the world with more people.

GOD is good, right, loving , all knowing, all present and protective of all of his children who love HIM. Remember that always. Remember that JESUS loves us so, and wants us in to heaven as well. JESUS made an awesome sacrifice for all of mankind. That is showing how much JESUS loves us too.

May a blessing be to those who read this post and be encouraged, and for sharing it to encourage others as well!

 

Peace.

Grow closer to GOD.

Grow closer to GOD 2018

James 4:8

“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

 

I remember a pastor saying that (not his exact words) faith is something that has a cap or level line on it. It continues to grow through the trials that we go through each day. And we all go through something. No matter how rich or poor, location on GODS earth, what gender or skin color. There is always something but because of faith we will get through it while praising GOD for the help.

I remember as a child what I could understand about the LORD through church and family. Just how powerful GOD is with the scriptures that was read. It has shown me that good will always conquer over evil. There is no way that evil will prevail. GOD is so perfectly good, wonderful, loving and protective of all of us who do truly love HIM.  The Bible is clear on that.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

King James Version (KJV)

When we as humans seek to gain an understanding and the need to have GOD in our lives, it has to be developed.  We need not to lean on what we understand alone. Reading the word of GOD with prayer to HIM and knowing that JESUS is the one and only way into heaven is on the way to increasing our faith.

Don’t depend on the pastor , your parents, best friends, relatives or anyone else. Depend on your prayers to GOD to be answered with CONTINUING prayer. When you pray leave it with GOD, don’t try to think for HIM. Don’t meddle in the prayer, because then you will not see how HE is helping you to get through your situation. Leaving your burdens with the LORD, knowing that GOD sent JESUS to save the world is a great comfort. You know that you will be saved from all of the heart aches of this fallen world.

But you will need to trust in the LORD GOD, and let HIM fix it. If you could fix it you would have had the complete wisdom of not to get into a complicated situation you did not expect. Your faith will give you discernment. Such discernment like if you don’t feel comfortable going down a certain street, for not knowing there may have been a large fallen tree in that road. You would have heard your inner voice and soul warning you. Your souls connection with the LORD.

You have a connection with GOD when you have faith. And you also have a connection with all who do love GOD too, and you can sense it when you meet these people even for the very 1st time in life. There is a spiritual bond, sharing a GODLY righteous high. Discernment. You want this at all times.

With your bond with GOD the FATHER you will have a natural inner happiness that those who do not want GOD in their lives we NEVER understand and feel uncomfortable around you or even hate you for no reason. For the reason that the evil spirit that is in them is not the same GODLY one that is in you.

This is why we need to increase our faith so we can stand tall depending on GOD to protect us from all harm. When these people think they have the last laugh or feel that they have defeated you, you will see them fall from their own devices and plots.

I tell you faith is what will get you through anything you are going through right now like it has for me and all of my loved ones. You will get that swing at you but you will not fall down, with the love of JESUS returning HIS powerful swing and the enemy falling down instead.

Jesus defendng us in Ephesians 2018

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

King James Version (KJV)

I do trust in GOD. I do accept JESUS as my savior of my soul from all of the sins I have done my whole life long. No one is without sin, no…..one! And JESUS did say this in the Bible. If you feel that you have turned away from GOD because of the sins you have done in the past, then you need to get your faith in order. It is up to you to see that YOU have to make the choice.

JESUS gave his life on the cross so we could live in total peace knowing we are forgiven. This is part of the faith, to KNOW you are forgiven because of the sacrifice JESUS gave on the cross.

Not the hail Mary, going to church and making a presence, doing nice things for your close circle of friends, being a “spiritual” person and not making the full commitment as being a religious GOD fearing, JESUS loving person, giving large donations to charities to gain favor with GOD. You can give to charities, but not to use it to pay your way into heaven. If that were the case there would be all kinds of people paying their way into heaven. It would be worse than it is here on earth then….complete havoc.

The devil is a liar. If you feel that the sins you have done will keep you from getting into heaven he has lied to you. JESUS came to earth to save you and ALL of mankind who love , believe and trust in HIM. JESUS went through a lot of abuse , torment , pain, and to give HIS life on the cross just to prove this point! Don’t listen to the devil, he got you into the bad situation and is lying to keep you in it. Lying saying JESUS will not help you. HE has proven HE has forgiven you by what HE did on the cross. Dwelling on this earth as a man for 33 years being treated mean, abused and seeked after to be killed by the very people HE came to save from the sins they have done. Some did listen and were saved. Unfortunaly some stayed stubborn and will not be let into heaven.

JESUS is the savior for all of the world. No matter what you were told about you being too bad, it is still up to you what road you take from here on. Up to you. Gain your faith so that if you have children, spouses, parents, loved ones and friends that they will be saved too. You do not want your children to die and be sent to hell right? Well neither does our heavenly FATHER GOD want that for any of us.

I pray that this will bring a blessing to the reader of this post, and for sharing this post as well so others will be ecouraged to increase or gain their faith in GOD.

Psalms 34:17 and 34:18

psalm-34-18-largePsalms Chapter 34

17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

There are times in this world when situations will come to test the faithful. This is a fallen world, and there are many people walk about causing situations of turmoil. Be it they know it or not. Or even care of they do or not.

They will discourage many and lead them to feel that GOD is not listening, when HE is. HE does hear us and does see what is going on. We need to lean on HIM and not of our own understanding of what is going on in front of us. As humans we can not see the whole picture of things and do not have the wisdom or physical capacity to do so. So this is where our faith is tested and it will pull us through as it grows.

We do not have to worry about what we may “think” our enemy will do or is doing and how it will affect us. Yes you will hear people say evil things about you or what they will do to you. And even try to gang up on you with their friends and fellow evil doers. They are lied to and are led to do evil through the father of all lies and stories. They will use his age-old tactics to bring you down. Make you feel like you have no hope, no one loves you, or you have no friends. That you are all alone with no hope. But his is a solid lie. Remember FATHER GOD is a friend to all who love HIM and so is HIS son JESUS. They are believers bestest friends ever!!!

Evil is evil, a lie is a lie, fake is fake and the evil one will come at you and everyone else here on this earth to distract us from the truth that comes from our heavenly FATHER GOD and HIS beloved son JESUS.

Those that are lost and may think they have great power in politics, business and even on Churches if they are not right with GOD they will have to answer to HIM. Just like the rest of us. They will act as though they are GOD, they have no faith in HIM and feel they can do what ever they please because they were not caught in the evil they do and punished. That no bolt of lightning has come down from the sky to strike them down…yet. They are cocky and mean to everyone that is in their circle.

If you work with people like this they can harass you all day long make you hate your job and feel like you are walking around with a heavy burden. But see when you get like this your faith light or battery I should say is in trouble, your faith battery needs to be charged with the HOLY SPIRIT so you can be strong and make it through what they enemy is trying to throw at you to knock you down.

Here is where the word of GOD can get you going again fully charged and rearing to go!

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

I know many of us will go through things right after we have been in Church as have heard an encouraging message from the Pastor. It made you feel warm and happy with the feeling that you have been touched by the LORD. And as you are driving home with your family down the road still glowing from the feeling you recieved in church, a driver cuts you off and gives you the middle finger while cussing at you.
That is the evil one trying to steal your joy you are feeling and put anger in your heart and even to hate that person that drove past you like that. But just remember that is not from the LORD and you are on the right tract to total salvation. Your faith is increasing and the evil one is trying to decrease it. Keep your peace and just move on.
The evil one is very cunning, and was there when all of mankind was created and knows our flaws. For we are souls with flesh, not flesh with a soul. The souls with in us is where the faith stems from, and the flesh is weak and has to be in check every second of the day. We can not do this alone to get saved on our own, so this is why we all need JESUS. JESUS is the key to heavens gate, and our leader to the path of righteousness.
No matter what age you are in right now reading this. I know if you are a child going to school at home on vacation you too have met up with kids in school that have been very mean to you and seek to fight you. But these kids are lost souls too. They need the LORD, and maybe they are not taught anything about salvation and the love of JESUS.
When you are an adult in an office with co-workers. They are the same evil but at a different age with a different face. They seek to fight too, or even get you fired so you will not have a means to take care of your self, pay your bills and have a place to stay. Pure evil intentios from these people. But just be aware that with the GOD we serve, HE will not leave us in the hands of the evil one to suffer. Nope. He will protect us for it is in HIS word.
   Psalm 37King James Version (KJV)

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

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

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

These words that GOD says in the Bible will encourage us. The people back in the Bible times went through the same things you and I are going right this very minute. I do so love reading the word of GOD for I feel like HE is talking directly to me. Giving me the comfort that I need 24/7. We need to stay in prayer so that we can hear the encouragement that GOD is trying to give to us.

If you are ill, stay in prayer and let GOD into your heart and stay with you and don’t give up. And praise HIM now, and after when you are healed too!

If you are jobless, stay in pray and let GOD lead you to where you need to be, you never know what beautiful plan HE has for you to get the job you need and will love.

So whatever situation you are in, stay in prayer. Keep your faith. Trust in the LORD 24/7. Dont …..give…..up!!!

If you are harassed in the work place, church, school, or walking down the street just minding you own business…stay in prayer and know that all negative things are not from GOD. They are lies coming from he evil one.

Pray for wisdom, discernment, protection, faith, healing, safety not only for yourself but for all of your family and loved ones too. Pray for your enemies to be saved, you maybe the only one here on earth that will pray for them.

May you all have a blessed, happy, and healthy New Year 2018!

Peace!

The Blessing of Christ.

The pope praying to a Black Madonna and Child 2017

 

You know that the celebration of JESUS coming to earth will be done tomorrow on the 25th of December 2017. It is a holy day where those of us who know the real meaning of Christmas will honor it. It is like saying to the world , yes I have accepted JESUS as my savior. That I am grateful to GOD that He did send His son JESUS to save the world from the nonsense and sins we have all done all of our lives.

Many feel that this is commercialized and that is why they do not celebrate this holy day. But then if you are around these people long enough to understand that they have spent most of their money , time and effort on Halloween.  And this is not a good mindset to have, because it is Halloween that is the commercial holiday that celebrates darkness, evil, and death. Generally this celebration many do not see how evil it is right now because they will do all they want to do while doing works of evil. They got away with what they do, no bolt of lightening had struck at them from the sky sorta thing.

It is so good that we have an understanding , patient and loving GOD. For he knows who will listen and follow HIM and HIS son as best as we can. We can not do all of this alone with out JESUS. And this is why we joyfully celebrate the coming of our savior!

Black navitity scene 2017

Luke 2King James Version (KJV)

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And 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:)

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

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

And 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.

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

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

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

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

 

 

.Navitity 2017

 

 

Thank you FATHER GOD for JESUS at all times now and forever and for all of eternity long!

Christmas is the celebration of the savior of all mankind who have faith and love GOD and his son JESUS, life from the sacrifice from JESUS, GODS son coming to save all of mankind from our sins, HIS light, and all that is good from heaven above.

The things we do in the celebration such as reading the chapters in the Bible in the new testament that will speak of the nights and days before JESUS being born to Mary is awesome . When you think about all that Joseph and Mary went through during the labor, and where he was born. The conditions were not the cleanest at all from what it is told in scripture. Born where the animals would be, and if any of you know what a barn smells like then you can imagine what was going on.

JESUS went through a lot to save the souls of all of mankind from day one of birth. And then, imagine growing up in this world of sinners all around you. Being an adult finally and being accused of things that He did not do. The put to death in a horrible way after being beaten and stabbed too. All for the love of mankind.

I can not understand why people turn away from what is good, loving, peaceful and who would DIE for you. And you know what? People still abuse, and disrespect JESUS to this day. Saying such awful things, and these people are the ones who will not pick a Bible up to read it and see just how much GOD so loved this world. HE gave his only begotten son, to show us just that?

Many of us listen, and many of us mock HIM. But in the end every knee shall bow. They will see JESUS’s face, and maybe remember they will remember you or I saying what we know as lovingly as we know how to save them from being turned away from heaven and coming inside to meet the face of GOD.

Every single person I have met in my life, be it those who did evil againist me for what ever reason, I do pray that they will see the light. That the light from the LORD will shine on them and make it clear to them, and choose to be saved and follow JESUS. For JESUS is the key to the Kingdom.

Not doing good deeds to your friends or people you know or even don’t know. Not saying I believe in GOD and proceed to do what ever you choose in life that is not of GOD. The ways of GOD will get you into heaven. Not the ways of the world.

If you feel you have done things that you are ashamed of and that GOD can not forgive you, you need to think about JESUS. This is why we all need JESUS to b saved from all of the sins we have done our whole lives long.

This is why it is good to read the scripture, and not just take my word for it.

This is why I celebrate Christmas to say to JESUS thank you for coming to earth to save my soul from all of the sins I have done my whole life long.

It is not a commercialized day if you don’t make it as such. Just remember the true reason for the season. The birth of JESUS coming to earth as a little baby. No santa claus, no frosty the snowman, no snoopy , idols or what ever. It is about being saved from our sins through the sacrifice of the cross that JESUS bore.

You would not want your birthday celebrated without you involved in it would you? Then we should not do that to JESUS either. And he is more important than us humans or anything else of the world by a very, very, very long shot.

Yes giving gifts is cool to give to each other as it was done as how it was for JESUS. Not to buy the best and what cost the most, but what comes from the heart. Just like how the wise men did for JESUS. PLease still keep in mind it is the day of our LORD.

I pray that you all will have a blessed Christmas day and giving thanks to GOD for sending HIS only begotten son to save us all who do believe and love HIM and HIS son.

It is so comforting to know just how much we are loved.

Many blessings to the readers of this post and for those who pass and share this post to others.

 

Peace!

My comfort zone is in the LORD GOD.

The ten commandments 2017 2

Ten Commandments monument located in Goshen, Ohio

 

Everyone has a comfort zone in their lives. Something that they hold close to their heart at all times. People who love the world and the ways that the world lives and abides by and those of us who are Christians and do truly love the LORD GOD. Left and right, or up and down, we people choose as to how we want to live.

There are formulas, recipes, instruction books, manuals, and guide tools for every single thing you can think of in this world.  I do mean everything  for non-Christian things and secular things as well. But the one that is the most important guide tool to have in life is the Bible and what is in it. In the Bible you will find the ingredients for a healthy happy life . What the commandments mean to me.

The Ten Commandments.

1 Thou shall have no other gods before me.

This is where we do not pray or put the one and only true living GOD aside and worship anything or anyone other than HIM. Our GOD in heaven. What’s the point? If you seek to get into heaven where you can see GOD eye to eye, why worship anything else?

Thou shall not make for yourself any grave image.

Like Aaron did back in his time making a golden calf to bow down to, worship it and love it. This was made by mankind. That alone will tell you it is not right. No statues of people from in the Bible, or animals, or people not in the Bible. It is not logical to me to do so. Since when as a child I played with dolls. These dolls will not love you back talk to you or think and breathe life. So in comparison, these objects I see some people praying to wont either. The one and only true loving GOD of all heaven and earth will.

Thou shall not take the name of the LORD thy GOD in vain.

Well here is the thing, if you do not have faith in GOD you will say what you want. Maybe even more if you see people who do believe in GOD around as though to show them your disrespect to their faith in GOD and GOD as well.  It shows the people who do have faith that you are doing something that is not very wise to do. You will understand in a way you did not expect to. For it is written that every knee shall bow!

Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

Well there are many people who choose to make Saturday their Sabbath day and not the Traditional Sunday. When before JESUS was named the Christ and savior of all mankind, as a child growing up he practiced Jewish traditions. And that was to worship on Saturday. But then when we as CHRISTians that followed JESUS CHRIST we use Sunday as the holy day. For by the calendar I use Sunday is the 7th day of the week.

Some Pastors explained from the understanding of reading the word that the Sabbath was a day of rest made for mankind. And this is according to scripture. “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). This is something that is debatable until we do read the word o GOD. What did JESUS say? In order to know we can read the new testament.

Here is a link to some more info to get started. http://biblelight.net/cbn-sabbath.htm

Honor thy mother and thy father.

I do not call another female my Mother. Period. No other female deserves that respect and honor from me. Nor any earthly man as to be my earthly dad given the same respect. Period. This is me. I see other people will say…”this is my second Mother”. Putting the other woman on an equal level as their natural real Mother.  I can see if a person will say “She has been like a Mother to me for all of the love and help she did for me”. But no, I cannot put woman or man before my Mother or Dad on an equal level.

And I do know there are people who are adopted and don’t know their parents or in other situations. They are your Mother and Father now and are your new blessings. When you have good parents that took care of you and loved you more than they loved themselves, you give them the honor at all times. You will be blessed with a long , happy, healthy life according to what the scripture reads. “12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”

Cool, see how GOD will bless us even more after having good parents? Awesome!!!! For my Grandma, Mother and aunt are strong GOD loving women who took care of me as a child even before they had to do things for themselves. Thank you FATHER GOD for my parents and elders who love me.

Thou shall not kill.

I can see people saying that in self-defence it is different for they had no other way to handle an attack. But GOD said not to kill. Romans 12:19 “Dearly beloved , avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine ; I will repay, saith the Lord”

Thou shall not commit adultery.

See many people looks like today see nothing wrong with this. And when they have this mindset, they assume everyone else is doing this so it doesn’t matter. They will see everyone does it. This is not accurate for there is no way in the world that these people do know what everyone is or is not doing.

It is not just the actual touching a person, it is the thoughts, and looking at a person and thinking of the sexual desires for this person or persons they are drowning in. Porn in any media realm, secular music, famous people be it in show business , church work, or politics . You will find people who are openly admitting to adultery as though they were talking about how they bake a cake. It is nothing to them.

See the current news of all of the men that are caught doing sexual misconduct right from movie stars , politics and churches! PORN is the basis for these sexual addictions! Keep it out of your life and your house away from your children at all times. It is a corruptible evil poison to the mind.

But exposing the youth to this mental addiction is something they will have to deal with their whole life long. They will be a burden to many or annoying with this addiction they will have being exposed to porn and other sexual perversions wherever they go.

They will bring this addiction into any relationship they are in. Marriage will be poisoned and they will always be looking at other people and lusting after them. If they will not stop, it ill break up their family because they put the addiction before GOD, family and taking care of the family.

Thou shall not steal.

We all know about stealing, be it white-collar wall street to petty stealing of candy a child will do. It does not matter who does it , where, or why. We need not to do it. There are some who do this because they want to just eat a meal because they are starving, and only GOD as it is written can be the judge of this and anything else we all do.

Thou shall not bear false witness.

Gossiping, saying things that are stereotypically incorrect about people who you do not know who don’t look like you, spreading rumors out of spiteful means, trying to lie on a person to get them into trouble over something they did not do. What ever, If you are doing this to cause intentional harm and you know that is what you are seeking to do….well then you just bared false witness.

We all have to be careful of what we say and do to each other. We can bear false witness on  person when we lean our own understandings with GOOD intentions. So this is something to think about when we all speak of others.

Thou shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

covet

[kuhv-it] /
 1. to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others:
to covet another’s property.
This applies to anything that is your neighbors really. Anything, the wife, kids, house, dog, cat, money or car. If you want to have it and you don’t own it. Stay clear of watching what others are doing and getting yourself caught up into what they have and pay attention to the blessings that GOD has given you and is trying to get your attention so HE can keep giving you a blessing. Focus on the LORD, turn your eyes and mind on the LORD GOD 1st and foremost at ALL times. This will keep your mind-set on the path YOU are given to walk by GOD.
We all need JESUS to get through the guide tools of life.
None of us are without sin and are perfect. None. JESUS said so. This is why I need JESUS and you as well. These commandments are hard to do alone because there are many temptations out there. Some people will hear about you being a child of GOD and will watch you to see you make a mistake and say “I knew you were not a real Christian” . Testing you, and not really understanding what is going on at all because they do not read the Bible. Judging you and I by what the world understands. They see you get angry and will make a judgement. But GOD will get angry as well as HIS son JESUS over what is done to all of his people.

 

If they read the BIBLE they would understand this. GOD hates sin, not the people. The sin.

We all need JESUS because we all are sinners. The Ten Commandments are what will put us all in a wonderful comfort zone of peace. You know you are doing your best to please GOD and to say you accepted JESUS as your savior.

I do pray that all who are not saved will be saved from reading this post. because if you have a computer and even reading this off of your phone….here is more scripture you can read to give your more comfort. Here is the link to Exodus chapter 20. I would read the whole chapter so you are not getting this out of context.

May a blessing be given to all who do read this post and share it.

Peace!
