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!

JESUS is a gift from GOD!

JESUS is the light.

Hello friends,

I do pray that you all will have a blessed, happy, healthy new year in 2023! Let us all move on ahead and give thanks for all GOD the FATHER GOD has given us all.

Ephesians 2:8

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”

King James Version (KJV)

And to remember the greatest gift given to all mankind is JESUS! The gift that will never wear out always works and never quit on us will never run out of power and will always be on time.

JESUS is a perfect fit for the soul at all times, always filling and truthful. Glowing with love and compassion. Understanding and will not fail.

Will never leave us to be lost and confused. Our compass in life to stay in the right direction of righteousness.

JESUS is more than a gift. HE is a blessing from GOD THE FATHER and creator. For without JESUS, we can not enter into heaven to be with GOD who dwells in heaven.

Thanks be to our beloved FATHER GOD for all of the blessings HE has given you this past year, 2022, and for those to come in 2023.

Learn from the things that happened in 2022 so that the good can be repeated that you have done. To keep on track and please GOD 1st. This is what I am trying to do as best as I humanly can.

Yes, it is hard to do good for GOD. But we do have GOD’S gift. JESUS!

Have a healthy, blessed, happy, safe new year 2023!

Peace and blessings to you all!

Hello friends,

I do hope you all are well and safe.

In this day and time, when we focus on the word of GOD we will get so much more that comfort in reading it we know how much our FATHER GOD loves us. Because of how our FATHER GOD is, HIS ways and laws being so true that we depend on HIM.

We all have our Mom and earthly Dads. Be it if they were in our lives in the past or in our lives right now. They are two people who came together to make us. They may have been good to us or not. But these earthly parents were not perfect and neither are we. Our heavenly FATHER GOD is. GOD never sleeps.

Isaiah 41:13

“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

King James Version (KJV)

But the only perfect FATHER we all have is the creator, FATHER GOD of all heaven, earth and HIS creation. Us. HE watches over all of HIS children. HE knows when we are hurting, and gives us comfort. When we call on HIM he is there. HE keeps us safe from those who are wicked.

When you trust in the one and only FATHER GOD you depend on HIM to get you through the days minutes and hours.

Our FATHER GOD has a bond with all of HIS children that is so perfect. And to think about the body of CHRIST JESUS that all of us who has accepted JESUS we are brothers and sisters in the body of CHRIST JESUS. For we all will dwell in heaven together Praising GOD and HIS SON JESUS for their grace and mercy.

1 Corinthians 8:6

“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

King James Version (KJV)

Our FATHER GOD is all we need to love and lead us through these days here on earth.

If our earthly Dad is not in our lives right now remember FATHER GOD is always present. Holding on to our hands.

Have a blessed day. Know that you are never alone. We have the perfect GOD who watches over us at all times even as we sleep for HE never sleeps

Please do pass it forward and share to others. You never know who may need to hear this message.

Peace and blessings!

The beginning of our puppet ministry is happening. :BJ Ministries.” Learning how to spread the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST by his encouragement. With puppets

We need to give the glory and praise to GOD through all of the righteous gifts GOD given has each of us.

And with what GOD has given us to use as well. We will encourage each other with the gifts for others to use their gifts as well too.

Our beloved FATHER GOD gave us our first gift. HIS SON JESUS who was spreading the good news of the Gospel first. JESUS is the 1st gift our beloved FATHER GOD has given us mankind.

So this is a different journey of beloved FATHER GOD is leading us in touching people.

1 Corinthians 10:21

“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.”

King James Version (KJV)

Don’t drink that red stuff!

Hello everyone!

It is now into the colder months of the year here in the north, and it is closer to the celebration of Christmas for when our beloved Jesus was sent to earth from heaven. It is now October!

But you know what, I have seen in August the display for the celebration of halloween. And this seems to appear earlier and earlier each year too. This to me in my opinion makes it seems like the end times are getter sooner and sooner. As though we are all being told to make up our minds regarding repentance right now.

Let us think about this celebration called halloween. Is something our beloved JESUS would celebrate to glorify GOD?

Do you know the origins of halloween?

Even if you do not partake of the rituals of demon worship side of it and just eat the candy and dress up, you are doing it on the day of halloween. You can eat candy and dress up any other day and all day if you choose. But the fact that it is on that day…it is still celebrating it.

I have heard some Christians say it is just getting candy and dressing up. But as I have said, you chose to do so on a day that is known by the occult to worship the demon called samheim. So it is like cheating on GOD to worship a demon.

Play it safe by our beloved GOD’s way, chose not to celebrate halloween. I do not even buy candy or dress up. And at the office I do not take or accept any candy that has any deplictions of halloween and the witches or ghosts on the wrappers. This is my thinking that I only serve one true and living GOD of all creation because there is only one GOD to me.

Keep your mindset on GOD. Stay in prayer. Read the scriptures in the Bible regarding satanic evil doings.

Bible Verses About Celebrating Halloween

1 Corinthians 10:21 – Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

Ephesians 5:11 – And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

3 John 1:11 – Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 – Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?   

Romans 12:2 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Ephesians 5:6-12 – Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.   

Romans 13:12 – The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Ephesians 5:7-12 – Be not ye therefore partakers with them.   

Romans 12:9 – Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Romans 12:21 – Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Ephesians 6:12 – 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.

1 Timothy 4:1 – Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 – Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  


John 4:23-24 – But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.   

Deuteronomy 18:9-14 – When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.   

2 Timothy 1:7 – For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

James 4:7 – Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

To be right with GOD is better than being right with the devil.

Stay blessed and in the hands of our beloved FATHER GOD. Pass it forward so others can understand and make the choice as to celebrate halloween or know there is only one true and living perfectly good GOD if all heaven and earth. And to accept GOD’s son JESUS as our savior and King!

Peace , blessings with GOD always leading you!

Philippians 4:9

Hello all and welcome to this blog.

I do pray that you all are well, happy and safe in these last days before our JESUS returns to bring all of us saint to heaven. A place where there is pure joy and no sorrow. And no pain. Ahhh!

I want to encourage you all about how I and my husband do feel about blessings from our ever loving GOD. They will come when you least expect them to and they are 100% on time.

Many of you who have been with me on this praise and encouragement to our FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS know I love to garden. And with gardening will come preserving your food until the next crop is to be harvested and the canning cycle returns.

So last year during the covid 19 at its peak there was a shortage of canning jars. And this meant canning jars of all sizes and shapes too. From wide mouth to regular. Gone, done until the next shipment whenever it was to come in! Being one who has learned to listen to GOD and my Mother, I would buy one more extra than I needed. Jars break or you do not have enough jars for the harvest. So I was prepared. But I still did check for jars. Even the Bale type with the wire closing for dry goods and storage. Zippo! I stopped looking and just waited to see what will happen for this year and was cautious about how much to plant.

But with waiting on GOD, those Bale jars came about when I least expected them to. Curbside for free after a yard sale. Clean with no food residue as though they were fresh washed and dried! But I didn’t find him, my husband did and brought them home. Now all I have to do is to sterilize them and clean up the wires or buy new ones to use for flour, sugar, beans or what ever dry goods with a couple of dry bay leaves in each jar to keep out any bugs!

Bail wire canning jar!

I am sharing this with you to tell you that our GOD is so awesome. I did not get those jars in September, or January or in the time when I was not ready to use them when the time was before planting season. I got them now when I can use them to store my beans, flour and sugar!

See, I got them when I can get them ready to use as of now. Our GOD will supply our needs. All we have to do is trust HIM, wait and see exactly what HE will do and KNOW HE WILL DO IT! GOD knows our thoughts. He knows what HIS children needs besides HIM. HE knows our aches and pains, when we will be hungry, HE sees what evil people will do to try to steal our joy, HE see us when we cry too. And our FATHER GD will wipe away the tears, HE will give us comfort, HE will make us smile at each wonderful thing HE will do!

Matthew 6:30 – 6:33

30 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?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

OUR GOD IS COOL beyond measure!

Philippians 4:19

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

King James Version (KJV)

I want to encourage you all who are going through a trial or test of faith. You will get through it. Do not listen to the devil saying anything negative that will have any doubt about the FACT that GOD loves you. For we all need to be in constant prayer and to continually build our relationship up with our heavenly FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS.

Even if today you are going through something, pray harder and wait and listen to our FATHER GOD. See, the devil does not want mankind to have a relationship with GOD and not to know anything about salvation through JESUS.

The devil wants all mankind to turn from GOD, loose the bond , put up a wall of sin, and to burn in hell. The devil will suffer in hell as well as all of the fallen angels and the lost souls of all mankind that listened to the devil and did not repent.

We NEED to know what pure , honest love is. It comes only from a perfect being. The only perfect being that there is , is GOD. And HIS son JESUS is part of this honest love that was sacrificed on the cross to save all of us. And does not want to see any harm come to those who love HIM and WANT to be with HIM in heaven at all times.

If you have children, would you want to see any of them burn in hell and torment for all eternity? If you are a good loving parent then the answer is no.

Friends, stay in prayer at all times. Read the word of GOD in the KJV Bible. Pray with your family and friends too. Share this blog with others so that they too can be blessed and know GOD and HIS son JESUS loves you!

Peace!!!!

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)

Hello everyone!

I do hope you all are well and blessed. For this is another day that the LORD GOD has given us all to do good in. and enjoy. And for us to enjpy and give thanks to our beloved GOD praise. GOD is good. And GOD is good all of the time!

You know as I was reading the bible about the desciples of JESUS. They were all common men who life there homes , way of life to follow our beloved JESUS. They were common as you and I are. And they were all sinners too. Like you and I who are saved now from accepting JESUS as savior.

Our beloved was a great teacher of GOD’s word. He had taught the word to the men He had picked as disciples, so that they would be able to spread the gospel of the word of GOD. These men had a lot of people that did not want to hear the gospel. And at first Paul the apostle was as such for he persecuted Jews who converted to Christianity.

With all of the sins and situations that we mankind has gone through, there was JESUS there to save us all so that when our time was up on this earth we had a way to get into heaven and have peace. To be able to see the face of our beloved GOD, and to dwell in HIS kingdom.

Reading the word of GOD will let you know how much HE loves us mankind and not the sin we are in. So this is why GOD sent HIS son JESUS to save our souls. Informing us how to behave in ways that will please our beloved GOD. Foe heaven is where GOD dwells. GOD runs heaven as how HE sees fit.

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)

Giving GOD the glory for being so patient with all of us mankind is more than any human will ever understand. I do thank GOD for JESUS and a way back home to our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS!

Please do pass this forward to others to read about the disciples. Get a blessing from reading the word of GOD. And to know our beloved GOD’s patience and forgiveness. Please click on the like button below and share. Thank and have a blessed day!!

Following the LORD GOD and HIS son JESUS!

Hello every one!

I do hope you all are well and safe! For we all are in the last days beforethe return of our savior JESUS. Those of us who truly love JESUS will be happy to see His return. For we will be be going into heaven. And this is what followers of CHRIST JESUS want to happen right now.

For being a Christian who loves GOD and HIS SON JESUS is not easy. There are people who resent having you around them. We make them feel uncomfortable because of how they live. The conviction of how they live eats at them. Not knowing really why they feel hate towards you.

And it takes only a split second from one look at you and a wicked person will hate a righteous child of GOD.

T z

It is better for us as Christians to endure having people reject you than to have GOD and JESUS reject you. Hell is real. And the consequences of loving sin is being separated from GOD.

Let those who mock you or don’t understand how you get through all of the trials that you get stand and wonder. It is by faith and trust in our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS!

Keep your communication with our Creator GOD open and strong . Satan seeks to stop the tie and love with GOD you may already have thru salvation. You have a way into heaven by accepting JESUS as your savior.

Remember 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.”

Pass this message forward. And have a blessed life as a seasoned Christian or a new one. There maybe someone right now who m ends to know that they are not alone in the struggle to stay on the path of righteousness. Please click on the like button below. Give GOD the glory and honor for all HE has done!

Planting seeds of Gospel of JESUS CHRIST to others.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone,

Welcome to this blog today. This is another day that our beloved FATHER GOD has made. Here in this blog, I always aim to encourage those who have taken the time to stop by and read it. It is good to share the word.

Hoping that anyone and everyone will have a seed planted of faith within them. For time is short and none of us mankind knows the day or time we when our beloved JESUS will return.

So as I go through life meeting people, I will try to plant a seed of the Gospel in them. You never know when you will see these people again.

What the seed of the Gospel planted is like when GOD has it to start to grow

I have come across in our Evangelism work for our Lord, people who will say they are Christian and not really understand what it truly means. A Christian is one who is a believer and follower of Christ JESUS and will spread the gospel of JESUS.

Evangelism definition.

So, from what I understand those of us who spread the good news of the Gospel are evangelizing. And this is so cool to know that this is what we are doing for our LORD JESUS!

So this means all of us who are believers who love GOD and HIS SON JESUS who spread the Gospel are Disciples. Evangelists. Followers of CHRIST JESUS.

Let GOD the seed nourishment to grow.

Get your seeds from GODS word in the Bible. And start planting and pray an allow our beloved GOD to have it to grow. Be patient and wait to see how our beloved FATHER GOD will work.

Have a blessed day in the LORD GOD. Please pass this forward to others so they can be blessed too. Please click on the like button below. And share, thank you!

Peace!

Genesis 1:11-12. GOD’s gift of food to grow.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello everyone!

I do hope all is well with you and all of you loved ones at all times.

In these days and times I see food in the stores not as stocked as it has been even a week ago. And when it is restocked the price of the items has gone up.

We have been led by the HOLY Spirit to growing our food and canning it for almost 10 years now. Then we have felt the need to have a garden to save money on groceries. Not thinking about food shortage. Just growing healthy foods with no chemicals.

So we got our Ball jars and lids with my 16 pint pressure canner and a water bath canner too. I got the USDA canning book that is free in pdf online and the Ball complete book on canning and went at it.

I watched a few of “Homestead Heart ” videos and thought that Marie Heart was such a professional at it, and a excellent teacher. She grew up canning her food and learning from her elders.

Making homemade tomato sauce with our homemade veggies!

Proverbs 21:20(NIV)

” In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but the foolish devours all he has.” It is all to easy in our modern society to get caught up in the cycle of buying our food one week at a time.

First time growing Okra!

When I had seen the flowers on may Okra plants, it surprised me at how beautiful they were! This was a chance to learn to grow them for pickling them.

Garlic growing well.

GENESIS 1:11


Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.

Start your garden indoors in a large container with grow light if you need to. But start. I got white buckets and planted peas in one and tomato in another. The buckets are all food grade and safe to use.

Grow your own, eat your own.

Pass it forward, save your seeds. Stay blessed !

Peace and blessings ❤️
