learning to live like Jesus and beginning to see the world thru His eyes
My story with God
Oh man......such a long story. To be quick, the demonic realm is REAL. Through this battle, I have come to know Jesus and He is helping me through this and I will never be the same....nor would I want to be. My heart sees differently now. I still have a lot to change about myself but He is guiding me now. And things are beginning to feel lighter....for lack of a better way to describe it. I am so thankful for His precious grace and forgiving heart. Without Jesus I was so far out in the wilderness...
A beautiful man once said, "Believing is one thing. KNOWING is another."
Not many people will ever gain the KNOWledge that God IS real like I have...at least not in this life. No doubt. Absolute knowing. That is my greatest blessing. And once you KNOW....well, the rest of your life looks a lot different to say the least. I cannot possibly go back to my old ways. That would mean denying my own truth. And we all know you can't lie to yourself and make you believe it.
I am just a simple, deeply passionate soul who's lived in the darkness and fought her way out. But I could not have done it without the grace of God. There are things unseen that are on a mission to destroy us and I have met them face to face. Literally. And it has been a blessing to face the horror of the total absence of God. In that darkness, I found the greatest and most intense Light.
Thank You Jesus. I will live my life to show my gratitude. And thank You for dying to save me from myself. Thank You for loving me.
I owe You.
Other stuff about me:
I love having the ability to see the beauty in such a screwed up world. I wish that all people could see through my eyes. Things would be very different.
I am willing to defend those who cannot defend themselves and always have been. I know no other way. I was a soldier long before this country made one out of me.
PROOF OF SALVATION.........
The proof of salvation is not agreement or mental ascent to a doctrine or teaching. but rather a changed life. believing that jesus is the son of God does not change my life. believing and following his teachings leads to a changed life, and this process is called sanctification through discipleship.paul said therefore if anyone is in christ,he is a new creature(2corinthians:5:17).
i'm honor to be your friend but more honor to have you as a sister in CHRIST JESUS HOPE THIS SITE HELP YOU AND CHECK OUT THIS 1 TOO http://battleinchrist.com/index.htm
Just want you to know that you are special and you know it, but don't let that ever work against you. Do not get prideful or arrogant because you know God wants to use you. I do not think you are prideful, that is not what I am saying, but we must always be on the offensive and see what's coming. A vey common pit is the pit of pride.
So all Praise to the Lord beloved. I thank Him for the strength I see in you. I know you may feel weak at times and beat down, but you are a warrior, just do not forget that is not by might nor power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.
BTW- GREAT PICS and beautiful kids
Love you with Godly Love :)

DEAR SISTERS&BROTHERS,
I'M ATTENDING ON COURT CASE TOMARROW(4.3.10),AS I HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN TAHT COURT CASE...WITH OUT MY ANY INVOLVEMENT.THIS CASE RUNNING FROM 2000 YEAR.HENCE,KINDLY PRAYN FOR MY DELIVERANCE FROM THE CASE,PLEASE!
Bro.RAJESWAR.,
Would you be my friend again hahahaha. My previous account locked on me and does not allow me to log in, so I created this new one. So will you be my friend again hehe
please! :)
I checked you bio. and you are very young in the faith. I should have checked sooner and I would not have come down so harsh on you. Please forgive me. But posting any video that would refer to the President of the United States as the anti-Christ is offensive because it is judgmental in the extreme. Let's let God do the judging, that's His job not ours, let's love one another, building each other up, not pointing fingers...OK?
Sorry for the delay in responding to your emails but I wanted to take the time to give you and thoughtful and prayerful response.
I am going to respond to your email on a point by point basis. Sometimes I will repeat myself or have difficulty communicating my ideas logically but please know that everything that I communicate to you in this response comes from a heart of love for you and for all that the Lord has chosen to draw to Himself to the Glory of the Father.
I forgive you. But I just don't see how that video was in any way racist and I didn't create it anyway, ya know?
Thank you for your forgiveness. I notice that your first words to me are words of forgiveness! this shows that you have a soft and compassionate heart and that you are quick to forgive and abundant in loving kindness! And let me again apologize for my hasty, knee jerk, response to the video that you posted about the President being the anti-christ.
I hate that video and all like it because it pollutes that Christian community with lies and hate. However, I should not have directed my outrage at you I should have directed my outrage at the offensive and disgusting video and not at yourself personally. For that I do again apologize. A thousand times I beg forgiveness!
Now to the video in question:
Sadly this video was created by a Baptist church in Florida. It would seem that some in the South, even some Churches in the South, have a hard time letting go of the old ways.
I see where you're coming from but I feel that if he fits so many characteristics of the bill, then should we not let people know that they might need to be watching closely? There are many many things about him that just don't seem to add up on a non-religious level as well.
What exactly are the ‘characteristics’ of the Anti-Christ? Where in the Bible is this list of 19 characteristics found?
If you search the scripture you will know that there is no list of 19 characteristics of the anti-christ.
I am a veteran. I served my country honorably and I was a die-hard patriot when I enlisted. I will never see things the same way again. And I am no longer a die-hard. I've seen too much that goes against my beliefs.
President or not, he's human and has the capacity to be the one we are watching for right?
First, as the Bible states there are many anti-christs we have to ask which anti-christ?
Second, and more important, we are to be watching and waiting for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, not the anti-christ.
Would it not make sense once you've put all the pieces together that the anti-christ should be a man in power? Look into this because I think it's worthy. You can do as you wish but I pray that you are granted the clarity to see the truth, whatever it may be.
What is the truth? Is the truth a lie? Are lies the truth? Of course not. We know that a truthful person always speaks the truth. A truthful person does not mix the truth with lies nor does a truthful person mix lies with half truths. We know this to be true. Study the video. Count the number of lies and half-truths. How can this video be truth if it is so polluted with lies?
The video was simply created to shed light on the possibility, not to fully condemn. And Obama's BLASPHEMOUS remarks about the bible and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount reveal that he is NOT A MAN OF GOD.
The President doesn’t have to be ‘A MAN OF GOD’ he’s the president not the pope! And his blaspheme is between himself and his Father in Heaven. Let God be the judge not you and me.
That's according to God's word, not mine.
Spend time in God’s word and in prayer. Your Father so wants you to be close to Him. He loves you, and our President, with an everlasting love.
I have no harsh feelings against you. I really don't. I just want people to be open to whatever the truth may be, whatever the cause.
This is the real crux of the problem isn’t it? What is truth? What is the difference between truth and falsehood? Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. Keep following Jesus. Keep in prayer. Continue to seek His guidance through His word. And you shall find the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.
You are on a good road now Jessica. Your travel companion is Jesus. He will not forsake you. He will never leave you. He will Love you always. These are his promises to you. The battle is in his hands. Trust him.
Your words are music to God's ears. Be the example of "Christian". That is how you will influence others. They will know us by our Love!Only God can change people. I know exactly how you feel about sharing what you know. It will be who we are in times of "storms" that will make the difference.
I remember when I came to know. I was praying for God to remove the doubt in my heart. There was a moment in deep prayer when God showed me the truth. I was there, in His presence, asking Him "Are You real?" It was humbling, and rather funny, too -- it was as if God was waving His hand in my eyes saying 'Hello? Hello? I'm right here.... See Me?'
It was life changing.
That was many years ago, and since then, I've been through all kinds of trials and despair. But what you have said is true: once you know, you cannot possibly go back to your old ways.
I hope and pray that people who read your profile will be moved to find out for themselves. If only every Christian knew...!
MY DEAR Sis.JESSICA,,,

AND,KINDLY KEEP ME,IN YOUR PRAYERS !
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!I'M PRAYING FOR YOU,YOUR MINISTRY&YOUR FAMILY!
