Dear Kathleen...
It's always surprising to get your soulfood of the day really correspond to the situation I face currently. I should say that you, my sis, must be endowed with certain gifts to foresee something....he...he...I really think so. May God always tells u what to say to people so u truly are His instrument.
With constant awe
Dear Kath,
Thank you so much for your very encouraging message. Really it energizes when I look to the words of our wonderful God.
May God use you as great source of motivations for others.
Kathleen, I have just logged back into my account and it was a wondeful blessing to see you comment, thanks so much for the Word and the truth that you left on the page. How are you?
'Keep your heart with all diligence,
for out of it spring the issues of life..'
Proverbs 4:23
Today's Scripture reading emphasizes the importance of caring for our heart.
Are we keeping spiritually fit?
WEIGHT: Do we need to lose the weight of unnecessary burdens and cares?
PULSE: Are we maintaining a steady rhythm of gratitude and praise?
BLOOD PRESSURE: Is our trust greater than our anxiety?
DIET: Are we enjoying the life-giving nutrients of the Word of God?
Have you checked your heart lately?
To keep spiritually fit,Consult with the Great Physician...
O Lord, You see what's in the heart...
There's nothing hid from You;
So help us live the kind of life..
that's filled with love for You...Amen...
Kathleen,
That's a really good comment about thte heart. I have a very good friend at church from the Phillipians. Have you ever been to another country?
Blessings! Your sister in Christ, Deborah

Dear Kathleen,
I am Happy to get your comment.The Word of GOD and Prayers nurture us.OUR LORD ID MERCIFUL.WE THANK AND PRAISE HIM.MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.MAY HE BE WITH YOU AND GUIDE YOU
Kathleen,
A very good revelation from God' Spirit indeed! We are so often concerned with the health of our bodies & our physical heart, but neglect the things of the spiritual heart & growth of the inner man in Christ! Doing these things that He told you will cause us to be full of the Holy Spirit & God's joy, which will bring strength & vitality to our bodies as well.Bless you for your faithful 'sowing' of God's truth.
Hi Kathleen, Thank you for the devotional. I especially enjoyed the prayer poem. Did you write that? I love poems.
With the happenings in Russia, the Olympics in China and America's dollar is just about worthless I have been thinking about Christ coming back. Have you studied Biblical prophecy? I have read the Left Behind books and a few books on this issue. Very interesting and exciting. With each day we are definitely getting closer.
Have a great day and I hope to hear from you soon.

JESUS has always many who love His heavenly kingdom, but few who bear His cross. He has many who desire consolation, but few who care for trial. He finds many to share His table, but few to take part in His fasting. All desire to be happy with Him; few wish to suffer anything for Him. Many follow Him to the breaking of bread, but few to the drinking of the chalice of His passion. Many revere His miracles; few approach the shame of the Cross. Many love Him as long as they encounter no hardship; many praise and bless Him as long as they receive some comfort from Him. But if Jesus hides Himself and leaves them for a while, they fall either into complaints or into deep dejection. Those, on the contrary, who love Him for His own sake and not for any comfort of their own, bless Him in all trial and anguish of heart as well as in the bliss of consolation. Even if He should never give them consolation, yet they would continue to praise Him and wish always to give Him thanks.
Hello Kathleen. I hope to find you well. Thank you for the heart message. You are right. We do need to keep a good lookout on our heart. Only God knows what is truly inside of us. I pray he finds light in each of us. Praise God and God bless you too. Your Spiritual Sister in Christ, Mandy <>< :-)
There are some who open their mouths just long enough to change feet. We say that we have our foot in our mouth when we say something that is embarrassing, foolish or wrong—something we wish we had not spoken.
It is better to slip with your foot than it is to slip with your tongue. In either case, a fall is the result. When we slip with our foot, we hurt ourselves; when we slip with our tongue, we can hurt others as well as ourselves (James 3:3, 8).
When a person says little, people consider him to be wise. We can prevent a lot of slips of the tongue by learning to listen and to pause and think before we speak. There is no antidote for foot-in-mouth disease. Sometimes it destroys the whole person. But we can start anew each day to be better than before. Prevention is the cure.
recieved an email and thought i should share it with you
There's Power In The Name Of Jesus! -
"Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:18b-21 Do you know the power there is in the Name of Jesus? May we never forget that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to save His people from their sins.
This is a very important fact for you to know as you stand for the healing and restoration of your marriage. You need to know that there is only One person who can rescue and save your spouse and His Name is Jesus. The next hindrance that we are going to learn on the Lord's Day is not praying in Jesus' Name. Jesus taught His disciples to use His name. "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:12-14 Do you know the power in the Name of Jesus? When you do not know what else to pray and you are hurting from the pain of separation or divorce cry out saying the name, "Jesus." If you are feeling weary, tired, discouraged, or distressed, say the name, "Jesus." He will hear your cry and meet your needs.
Every day pray short and long prayers as regularly as you eat. There is such power, healing and deliverance praying in the name of "Jesus." "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:16 These scriptures are very powerful when you read them by themselves.
I encourage you to do your homework and read all the additional scriptures that I have listed. The secret to having prayers answered is remaining "in Christ." The closer you and I live loving and serving our Lord and Savior through prayer, studying scriptures, and worshiping Him, the more our prayers will be in alignment with His person, His character, His will, His nature and according to the powerful words of the Jesus Christ. Then our prayers will be more effective when we pray because we are being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and wanting to serve and pray for others as the Lord taught His disciples.
Today as we go and worship the Lord may you pray two scriptures with your husband or wife's name in them. I pray that you have already started praying your spouse's name in scripture. There is such power in praying God's Word with your husband, wife or child's name in them. Remember that God's Word will not return void. (Isaiah 55:11) May you pray for your beloved spouse and lift up all prodigals, as we all pray in agreement and in unity in the mighty Name of Jesus.
"I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'" Acts 26:17-18 "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 2:38-39 Let me share how one day when Peter and John were going into the temple at the time of prayer how they shared the power of their Lord Jesus. You and I must be willing to be used every day sharing the love and power of our Lord Jesus Christ and proclaiming that God can heal and resurrect hurting and dead marriages.
"One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him." Acts 3:1-10 Then Peter continues to speak to all the people who saw the beggar jumping up and down, praising God.
"You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see." Acts 3:15-16 Are you trusting in your Lord? Jesus Christ has all your answers, if you call on the Name of Jesus. Today, examine your heart. Whom are you trusting in each day, yourself or in Jesus Christ? When Jesus walked on this earth, He did many miracles, raised people from the dead, healed the sick, lame, the blind, and He delivered people from demons.
You and I must never forget that your spouse needs to be delivered or set free from the sins that they have been involved in. Your Lord Jesus Christ is able to set free anyone from the addiction of pornography, sexual immorality, alcohol, drugs or gambling, hardness of heart, or unforgiveness. Nothing is too hard for your Lord Jesus.
When you write and tell us of your circumstances, I want to cry out to you and say, "Call on the Name of Jesus. He is the only One that can change your life. He is the only One who can set your spouse free." If Jesus does not do it the day that you want, then remember the story of Mary and Martha who had to wait for the best friend, Jesus to heal Lazarus who was very sick, but Jesus was late and Lazarus died, but JESUS, raised him from the dead. Your Lord Jesus Christ will raise and heal your dead marriage from the dead, IF you keep calling on the Name of Jesus walking in faith and victory. Never give up on your Lord Jesus Christ. What is a better alternative? Whom are you going to serve?
There is victory in the Name of Jesus and Satan will have to flee! May I share the lyrics of the chorus,"In The Name Of Jesus:" In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, We have the victory; In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, Satan will have to flee; Tell me who will stand before us, When we call on that great name. Jesus, Jesus; Precious Jesus; We have the victory!(Author Unknown - Used by Permission CCLI #1273562) What powerful words for you and me to learn to sing. We need to call on that great Name to save us from all the enemies' darts. Satan is defeated and is trying to give us fear and anxiety due to many of our circumstances, but our Lord Jesus is greater than any other problem. Turn to your Lord Jesus and trust in His mighty power. Never forget that Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord came down to earth to shed His Blood for all sinners! Remember, every knee will bow down to Jesus. Now start calling on the powerful Name of Jesus!
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11
Homework:Look up additional scriptures: Matthew 1:21; Mark 9:38-40; John 20:30-31; Acts 4:15-22; Acts 5:17-41; Acts 15:25-27; Acts 16:16-34; Acts 21:12-14; I Corinthians 1:1-3,10; I Corinthians 6:9- 11; Colossians 3:16-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; 2 Thessalonians 3:5-7; I John 3:21-24.

hi my friend
when i was 10 years old i opend the Bible the firts reading was ( A voice of one calling in the desert ,Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him)
this verseit's Continuance with me all dayes i heard this voice
thanks to u to add me as a friend
Almost every day I see you sharing so much encouragement on these pages, what a blessing you are. May the Lord less you back a hundred fold for all you give.
In the love of Jesus.
Bob
A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband.
For many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom,
and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was all she
wanted.
As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband
had purchased the diamond ring.
Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study.
Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her.
He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible,
with the wife's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, 'With all your
money you give me a Bible?' And stormed out of the house, leaving her
husband.
Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She
managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family,
but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she
should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.
But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram
telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed
all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately
and take care of things.
When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's
important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it
years before.
With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her
ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
'And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven,
give what is good to those who ask Him?'
As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of
the Bible. It had a diamond ring, with her name engraved on it --
the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom.
On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words.'LUV U ALWAYS'.
How many times do we miss God's blessings, because they are not
packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this.
Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; but remember
that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKAGED THE WAY YOU WANT IT,
IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKAGED THE WAY IT IS.
ALWAYS APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS;
THEY USUALLY LEAD YOU TO BIGGER & BETTER THINGS.
'The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.'
HOPE IN THE LORD'S FAITHFULNESS...........
- taken from the book of Lamentation 3:19-40:
19 The thought of my suffering and homelessness
is bitter beyond words.[a]
20 I will never forget this awful time,
as I grieve over my loss.
21 Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:
22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends![b]
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”
25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
to those who search for him.
26 So it is good to wait quietly
for salvation from the Lord.
27 And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of his discipline:
28 Let them sit alone in silence
beneath the Lord’s demands.
29 Let them lie face down in the dust,
for there may be hope at last.
30 Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them
and accept the insults of their enemies.
31 For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.
34 If people crush underfoot
all the prisoners of the land,
35 if they deprive others of their rights
in defiance of the Most High,
36 if they twist justice in the courts—
doesn’t the Lord see all these things?
37 Who can command things to happen
without the Lord’s permission?
38 Does not the Most High
send both calamity and good?
39 Then why should we, mere humans, complain
when we are punished for our sins?
40 Instead, let us test and examine our ways.
Let us turn back to the Lord.
My dear friends....
this is the time for restoration... to our true relationship to God...for He is faithful en just...Amen....
DEAREST CHRIST FOLLOWING FRIEND]
DO COME BACK TO US WITH NEWS OF MIRACLES AND THE WONDER OF JESUS. GOD WILL GO WITH YOU AND WE EXPECT GREAT HAPPENINGS KATHLEEN.
I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALL THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD IN ABUNDANCE...

- Galatians 5:16
Our society sends many conflicting messages;
the Bible does not.
The Word of God tells us not to listen to our lusts
but to follow God's way,
depending fully on the Spirit(Gal 5:16).
If we do that, we will not live the anxiety that results from
following mixed signals....
God's signals are meant for our protection,correction and direction.....
Present your life to God today,
Give Him your all without delay;
You'll know true joy and gladly say,
"I've found the way to live!"
try to do these my friend.. en be a great living epistle to each en everyone in this site...God bless u all....

Your Lord Jesus Christ is able to set free anyone from the addiction of pornography, sexual immorality, alcohol, drugs or gambling, hardness of heart, or unforgiveness. Nothing is too hard for your Lord Jesus.
When you write and tell us of your circumstances, I want to cry out to you and say, "Call on the Name of Jesus. He is the only One that can change your life. He is the only One who can set your spouse free." If Jesus does not do it the day that you want, then remember the story of Mary and Martha who had to wait for the best friend, Jesus to heal Lazarus who was very sick, but Jesus was late and Lazarus died, but JESUS, raised him from the dead. Your Lord Jesus Christ will raise and heal your dead marriage from the dead, IF you keep calling on the Name of Jesus walking in faith and victory. Never give up on your Lord Jesus Christ. What is a better alternative? Whom are you going to serve?
There is victory in the Name of Jesus and Satan will have to flee! May I share the lyrics of the chorus,"In The Name Of Jesus:" In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, We have the victory; In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus, Satan will have to flee; Tell me who will stand before us, When we call on that great name. Jesus, Jesus; Precious Jesus; We have the victory!(Author Unknown - Used by Permission CCLI #1273562) What powerful words for you and me to learn to sing. We need to call on that great Name to save us from all the enemies' darts. Satan is defeated and is trying to give us fear and anxiety due to many of our circumstances, but our Lord Jesus is greater than any other problem. Turn to your Lord Jesus and trust in His mighty power. Never forget that Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord came down to earth to shed His Blood for all sinners! Remember, every knee will bow down to Jesus. Now start calling on the powerful Name of Jesus!
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11
Homework:Look up additional scriptures: Matthew 1:21; Mark 9:38-40; John 20:30-31; Acts 4:15-22; Acts 5:17-41; Acts 15:25-27; Acts 16:16-34; Acts 21:12-14; I Corinthians 1:1-3,10; I Corinthians 6:9- 11; Colossians 3:16-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; 2 Thessalonians 3:5-7; I John 3:21-24.

BRONX
A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband.
For many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom,
and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was all she
wanted.
As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband
had purchased the diamond ring.
Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study.
Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her.
He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible,
with the wife's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, 'With all your
money you give me a Bible?' And stormed out of the house, leaving her
husband.
Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She
managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family,
but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she
should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.
But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram
telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed
all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately
and take care of things.
When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's
important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it
years before.
With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her
ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
'And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven,
give what is good to those who ask Him?'
As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of
the Bible. It had a diamond ring, with her name engraved on it --
the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom.
On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words.'LUV U ALWAYS'.
How many times do we miss God's blessings, because they are not
packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this.
Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; but remember
that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKAGED THE WAY YOU WANT IT,
IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKAGED THE WAY IT IS.
ALWAYS APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS;
THEY USUALLY LEAD YOU TO BIGGER & BETTER THINGS.
'The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.'
HAVE A GREAT DAY
god bless

- taken from the book of Lamentation 3:19-40:
19 The thought of my suffering and homelessness
is bitter beyond words.[a]
20 I will never forget this awful time,
as I grieve over my loss.
21 Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:
22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends![b]
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”
25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
to those who search for him.
26 So it is good to wait quietly
for salvation from the Lord.
27 And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of his discipline:
28 Let them sit alone in silence
beneath the Lord’s demands.
29 Let them lie face down in the dust,
for there may be hope at last.
30 Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them
and accept the insults of their enemies.
31 For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.
34 If people crush underfoot
all the prisoners of the land,
35 if they deprive others of their rights
in defiance of the Most High,
36 if they twist justice in the courts—
doesn’t the Lord see all these things?
37 Who can command things to happen
without the Lord’s permission?
38 Does not the Most High
send both calamity and good?
39 Then why should we, mere humans, complain
when we are punished for our sins?
40 Instead, let us test and examine our ways.
Let us turn back to the Lord.
My dear friends....
this is the time for restoration... to our true relationship to God...for He is faithful en just...Amen....
