Proverbs 13:24

“He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

King James Version (KJV)

Hello friends!

I do pray that your day will be blessed and never stressed. For there will be times when we may feel stressed and will need to remember that our beloved GOD is in control at all times. It seemes like every Christian I have been talking to has gone through something to test them. To distract them from our beloved GOD and HIS son JESUS.

But still we pray and move on just holding on to our faith and the promises of the word of GOD. As we wait for we wait for guidence in all we do, GOD is who we count on.

This applies to our children as well. For when a child is left to learn right and wrong on their own. There is a good chance that they were not raised in a home where they are belivers and faithful to GOD. And who has accepted JESUS as savior!

They will learn from the world and become disrespectful, disobedient individuals. What does the Bible say about children who are disobedient?

“Repeatedly, God warns children to honor their parents with loving hearts of obedience” (Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:2). Mouthy and sarcastic children who demean or belittle their parents’ leadership and decision-making are clearly on a path to destruction. King David’s son, Absalom, is one such example in the Bible.Jan 3, 2014″

Have you ever met a child who seemed spoiled and out of control out in public? Screaming at the top of their lungs because they didn’t get their way? Or running about in the store messing with people and things like little demons?

How about when you were in school as a young child, and there was always the one in class that disrupted the class? To the point where the teacher had to stop the lesson and deal with the out of control child? You didn’t get the lesson the teacher was trying to teach as well as the troubled child.

These people grow up and behave the same way in the workplace if they are able to get a job. And the point I am trying to make today if we, as the childs parents, dont discipline our child, they will not know right and wrong. And if we do not teach them the word of GOD, they will not understand salvation. Who GOD is, who JESUS is, and why JESUS was crucified on the cross.

We want our children to be saved from hell. To accept JESUS as their savior. To see the face of GOD when they die.

Bible Verses About Spoiling Children

Proverbs 12:1 – Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Proverbs 29:15 – The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Proverbs 23:13-14 – Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.   

Proverbs 23:14 – Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Pray for and with our children at all times. She them the GODLY way and not let the ways of the world lead them away from GOD and JESUS. For heaven is where our beloved FATHER GOD dwells. There is perfect peace and love there. And that is where all of us who love GOD want to be.

Have a blessed day, friends, sharing the bible, faith, and prayer with your babies!

Peace and blessings!

A blessing ahead for you

Hello friends!

I hope your new year has started off well! I do hope you are all healthy, happy, and blessed! This is the 1st week of the new year of 2023.

Many of us may have gone through some trials and tests of faith. But I tell you, after all is done and the smoke is cleared, we still have our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS!

We have the HOLY Ghost, too. The HOLY Trinity. We are never ever alone! We are always feeling the goodness of GOD’S love.

I have, along with my husband, have gone through some situations that only our beloved FATHER GOD could have intervened and corrected by HIS MIGHTY HAND!

All we had to do was to stay focused on HIM and wait. Things that no human could do to help or with what seemed like what our beloved FATHER GOD had sent a person to help through GOD. The timing was perfect and how it was done!

The fact that we were able to travel again after the covid restrictions were done. That was a blessing! Us getting sick or anything even close to it. Was another blessing! Having a good time seeing family after 3 years was another of the many blessings from GOD⁰!

But then there are things that had happened that had to get fixed in the house. The water and pipes. Geepers, it was something. Our pipes froze so bad we had no water. Had to get water to use for cooking, drinking , cleaning, and bathing. You don’t realize how much you use and need until you don’t have it.

I give GOD glory and honor for all of the wonderful blessings to help us.

Along with other things that seemed to need our attention at the same time, we got physically tired. A nap time was needed. So we tended to our needs too.

I recall as hearing my elders say when you go through stress, the devil is trying to distract you from a blessing from GOD!

I find this to be true. How many times when something would happen that was stressful, a blessing would come in and save the day!

Bible Verses About Blessings

Philippians 4:19 – But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

James 1:17 – Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Luke 6:38 – Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

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.

Numbers 6:24-26 – The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:   

3 John 1:2 – Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

2 Corinthians 9:8 – And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Proverbs 16:7 – When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Deuteronomy 28:1-68 – And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:   

John 1:16 – And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Matthew 6:30-33 – Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?   

Philippians 2:13 – For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Friends, if you are going through situations right now that are testing your faith, remember a blessing is coming.

Don’t be distracted by any confusion around you. It is not from GOD. The devil knows if he can distract you from receiving the blessings he did what he wanted to happen.

So stay in prayer. Please do read the scripture I have put into this blog. We all need to be encouraged about this so we can accept all the blessings our beloved GOD has for us!

Please do pass this forward so that others will receive the blessings our beloved GOD and JESUS has for us. Please click the like button below.

Faith to the one and only true living GOD. Not “mammon “!

Mammon in Hebrew (ממון) means “money”. The word was adopted to modern Hebrew to mean wealth.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for stopping by this blog today. I do pray that all is well with you and your loved ones.

Not everyone loves GOD or will be equally yoked with you. Even if they Say that they pray to GOD. It may not be the same one and only true living GOD you pray to. It could be mammon.

They could be Buddhist, or J.W.”S worshipping in a kingdom hall. Or something like money that a particular person might worship and love more than our beloved GOD or mankind.

It is hard to find other like minded people who truly do love GOD and are saved. For many people these days do not even know GOD and HIS SON JESUS. They may have never been told about them.

All they may know is how to make money, in any way shape or form. Not thinking about the negative consequences that will come from it.

Matthew 6:24
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

King James Version (KJV)

This is sad when I meet those who are care less about others and only seek to gain some fame and fortune thru money. Being popular and well liked only because of money.

Always having a crowd of people about them, and when the money is done and gone so are the so called friends. Their paper “god” has left them to be with others filling their pockets for a time being. Until that whole process is repeated with the next lost soul.

The GOD I serve has never left me ever. And HE never will leave me. Our beloved FATHER GOD loves me. He said so thru sending HIS only begotten Son JESUS to save our souls.

Trust on GOD for what you need. Not people, things or money that will b never last forever. GOD will though, for GOD is eternal!

Deuteronomy 33:27

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

King James Version (KJV)

GOD is our refuge. A safe place. A good place. A loving place to dwell in as well!

Please do click on the like button below. Share this blog, and give encouragement to others. Money can never buy happiness . For we should tell others the good news about our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS!

Peace and blessings be to you all now and forever!

Being positive around negativity.

Good day to you all. I do pray that you all are and will have a blessed day!

We all need to be and stay encouraged 24/7 by our every loving FATHER GOD. We can not even wake up to get our air to breathe each day without HIM.

Avoiding negative situations can be a test of faith. It is not easy as there are so many people who do not know the LORD, or who do but still struggle hard with being positive.

If we were to be alone or away from negative people for some time , we wou.d relax and enjoy the peace. Many of us can not do this for jobs, family , health or whatever else that may distract us from the LORD.

It takes some prayer and practice to be positive as humanly possible with the help of JESUS to lead the way. Shaking off the nonsense of the day, and just having that JESUS time to yourself in a nice quiet space. It could be in your car when you are on your breaks , or when you are the 1st one up in your busy household at your kitchen table with your Bible.

Positive words to incorporate in our thoughts and talks after reading the word and knowing scripture first and foremost are excellent. They will also have others to speak them too. Encouraging one another with compliments too.

Heaven is a good place to be, there is GOD, JESUS, the Angels and all of the good people whose name is written in the LAMBS BOOK of LIFE.

As we with a JESUS heart we can lead others to JESUS who maynot truly know what to do to get to JESUS to be saved. They must confess the LORD JESUS as savior and let HIM into thier lives.

So with giving each other praise, encouragement, and the love of JESUS with us we will plant the “seed of faith” for those around us. And for GOD to nourish the seed into a flown grown born again saved soul.

Have a blessed day, share this post with others so that they too can recieve a blessing from reading GODS word! Pass it forward in faith and prayer.

Peace!
