And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body… Continue

God want us to end up in heaven

GOD IS AWESOME

4/18/08

I have been feeling down because I miss my son. I know I am not the only Mom out there that has a child who leaves home for one reason or another but this is my story. My son left for basic training in the army in February. Him and I have been close until these past two years. I have been praying for my son -today he called me.

Blog Numero Neuf: When the Spirit Calls

If the Spirit calls you to pray, just pray. If you have someone on your heart, someone you've been thinking about, just pray for that person. I certainly don't know why/how but your prayers might be what God uses to keep someone from harm. Your prayers might just be what delivers someone from spiritual warfare.

What if when you thought about that someone, when you got that "feeling" about that someone, that person was at war and you were being called as re-inforcement? what if you… Continue

People Are Precious

People Are Precious

JOHN 3:16 BBE

16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only

Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to

destruction but have eternal life.

We may be too familiar with John 3:16 for its message to impact

us as it should. When it says that God loves the world, it

means the people of the world.

God loves people -- even the sinners. ALL the people of… Continue

THE CENTER OF GOD'S WILL

THE CENTER OF GOD'S WILL

The safest place in the world is to be in the center of God's will."

Those were the words of a woman has spend most of her life sharing the love

of Jesus Christ in a culture so different from ours that most of us who were

listening to her story could not imagine living the life she described. She

has moved into a culture where life-threatening experiences were the norm,

Please help me

I haven't been here since I first signed up. I'm really sorry to all the people who so graciously reached out to me in friendship... I'm just... really tired, really discouraged.

The thing is... I don't know where I'm at. I know God in my head... I accept the Truth on an intellectual level. But my heart feels cold and dead. I see my Christian friends, and they seem SO spirit filled, so close to God. And I wonder, whats wrong with me? Why don't I have that? What am I doing wrong? When… Continue

Fruit of the Spirit - The Nine Biblical Attributes

The fruit of the Spirit is a physical manifestation of a Christian's transformed life. In order to mature as believers, we should study and understand the attributes of the ninefold fruit:

Love - "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him" (1 John 4:16). Through Jesus Christ, our greatest goal is to do all things in love. "Love is patient, love is kind. It… Continue

Blog Numero Huit: Stuff

Am I wrong in not feeling comfortable about praying for adversities that I bring into my own life?

I feel wrong about praying for things that "I knew better" and yet still chose to...

I also feel wrong about not praying about these things because it might just be pride.

Am I thinking "I broke it,therefore I must deal with it on my own?" as if I could!

see....It's one thing to say to God "Father, I was minding my own business doing what you command when..." but… Continue

Lets Lay The Foundations.

I was born into a Catholic Protestant marriage but got put into foster care because they were unfit to be my parents, lets not go into detail of why. But I was fostered by a Pagan (specifically Wiccan) family. THEY ARE NOT SATANIST OR EVIL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT! Sorry but a lot of people have a go at them because of it, they are very nice people and have taught me a lot about their religion but have never pressured me into becoming one myself, they know it’s my decision and have only taught me… Continue

Satan tempts Jesus

Matthew 4:3-10.As you read these scriptures you will see that Jesus response to all three temptaions was to quote the Word of God, Which is to show us His Followers the power of scripture in battling the the evil one(see Deut. 6:13;8:3; Ps. 91:11,12). There was nothing morally wrong with turning stones to bread; Satan was tempting Jesus to do a miracle outside of the Father's will. This explains why Jesus quotes Deut. 8:3. Bread alone does not sustain… Continue

??? TGIF ???

This something that I thought would be neat to do instead of just saying "TGIF" on Fridays. We should say something like "TGIS" every day, because every day we wake up is a blessing! So let me know what you think "TGIS" means and I will reveal the meaning of this acronym next Friday! Go ahead and be creative and tell me what you think it is?…

Psalm 45:4

In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth , humility and righteousness: let your right hand display awesome deeds. Psalm 45:4

What a wonderful word for me today. As the scripture came to mind I was praying that the Lord would display his wonderful, awsesome, and marvelous deeds on this earth. I stand in full faith that God wants to release the declarations of heavens goodness on his children. The earth as a whole, that those who don’t believe may believe. It is our… Continue

Trust God

It is better to trust in God than to trust in man. Psalm118:8

I shall not be afraid.
What can mere man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4

Offer sacrifices of righteousness'
And trust in the Lord. Psalm 4:5

Prayers Needed

Dear Friends,

Your prayers are needed! We found out yesterday that my Mother has a tumor in her throat. The dr didn't say that it's malignant, he won't know for sure until the biopsy, but from the way he was acting, he sure seems to think it is. She has a CT scan this week and the biopsy next week, so please pray for her. Thanks and God bless.
