I am  learning as a believer we are to daily attach ourselves to the grace of God.Living in our own strength is nothing but hard labor and toil. This why Jesus said this in Matthew 11: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Jesus did not come to give us the burdensome of keeping the commandments in our own power. But he came to give us His  Holy Spirit  which makes us able to keeping the 10 commandments and it make it easy for us to do and carry. AS…

RAMBLING: Where You There?

I stood trembling a distance away and watched as the soldiers roughly laid Jesus on the cross which lay on the sun drenched ground. The blood from many wounds stained the cross dripping into the cracked earth quenching its thirst.

I saw the blood as it flowed from His head on which His crown of agony pierced his noble his noble brow.

I saw the roughly hewed cross soak up the blood from his his torn back. I heard the hammer as it drove each spike…

Recently, I went onto a chat site about God and Jesus that connected me with people around the world. They were there to help and answer questions, which they did with understanding towards my personal beliefs, which I thank them for. I am not a Christian. I do not believe in God. However, I do not think that because I don't believe in Him now, that I can't gain an understanding about God and Christ and the Bible. 

I would like to pose a question to you, and would be grateful for any…

"If a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully."

2 Timothy 2:5

In other words, it is not a bare striving, but a striving according to certain rules. But these rules are spiritual rules;…

It is time to get rid of the old wine skin an the old wine. And bring forth new wineskin and the new wine . We cannot mix in both the law and grace. You cannot contain in your heart the law with grace. Because it always going to be a struggle. After all the law reminds you of your sin. As the word of God says in Romans 7:7- So what are we going to say? That the Law is sin? Absolutely not! But I wouldn’t have known sin except through the Law. I wouldn’t have known the desire for what…

Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!

Issues and challenges of Life come and go,

defining me with my soul’s scarred essence.

Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!

Allow Your Presence to wash over me,

removing all evidence of sins’ stains.

Continue breaking the ungodly links of…

the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.

Open my eyes fully that I may see

the way You view me within Your Kingdom.

Let this divine, flooding confidence

gird me…

Have you envisioned

     our Lord upon The Cross?

Have you seen

     those considered lost?

Did you notice

     the absence of Grace?

Did you observe

     tears staining His face?

Can you imagine

     the agony of His pain?

Have you accepted the Gift

     of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion

     Love was brokenhearted

and divine reconciliation

     was quietly started.

Christ mourned the…

O Lord, I have purposed in my spirit

to sing of Your greatness and mercy!

Before You I humbly bow and kneel;

with my tongue, I exalt only Thee!

The enemy constantly surrounds me;

my joy they look to slyly steal.

You are my Maker and I’m the clay,

previously molded upon Thy Potter’s wheel.

Since Your words drip from my heart,

no longer can I remain silent.

Use me to write this poetry, filled…

with messages that are “heaven…

I am particularly saddened by yet another post about another celebrity who has given their life over to addiction & Satan.  Why aren't we saddened when Christians worldwide are being slaughtered for their faith in Jesus?   Are we that dumbed down?  What has the t.v. done to us...??  People are killing themselves daily & because it's a celebrity who does it, seems to bring sadness over the whole nation...???  I'm horrified & agonize every single day over the loss of life of our…

And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that (Job) has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. Job 1:12

Satan afflicts believers. Don’t underestimate him. He’s not an imp in red tights with a pitchfork. But don’t give him more credit than he’s…

Dear Friends,

Some of my friends are caught up in a cult group which teaches that Jesus Christ had lust in His flesh, and he prayed to Father for him to be cleansed from such sins. This group focusses much on sin than on Jesus. Their leaders have more authority than the word of God itself. Please pray that my friends would be saved from such group. Thanks !

Why living in legalism is bondage . Okay let's start with the view of legalism. Basically means of keeping all the Jewish regulations such as keeping all the 10 commandments and other things. WHen I was a little girl and my younger adult years  as well that's the way I use to act making sure I did not break one, well least in my point of view. I was like the rich young ruler. As the word of God says in Matthew 19:17-20-   “When you call me good…

"I am waiting for my payment for the past two months, every now and then I am making such prayers, really I don't want to do that. But my situation forces me to pray that way. Pray for my payment and some regular income please !"
"I have been invited for a church's youth conference in the month of May. I am in double thoughts. Please pray that I should return from the camp with a joyful heart. Or let God stop me from going there !"

O my Lord, my eyes are fixed on you;

nothing else matters or blocks my view.

I’ve purposed to set my heart on Thee,

knowing that You have a vision for me.

Remove these silly, earthly distractions

that interfere with our intimate connection.

I’ve been released from shadows of anonymity;

my future is certain, bound solely by Thee.

My desired has been renewed with holy fire;

teach me even more, before my life transpires.

You continue to sustain…

I am surely blessed, knowing…

that God’s grace continues to flow;

for I’m sustained by His presence,

wherever I am or divinely go.

I refuse to be consumed by uncertainties;

for by His grace, all fears are relieved!

My faith will be evident within my life,

which started… when I first believed.

From promises of spiritual prosperity,

I thankfully in praise, raise my voice…

giving utterances of His sacred Word

in which this joyful soul…

It hasn’t been that long ago that I learned I have Jewish ancestry. My parents joked about it so I didn’t take the rumors seriously. On my dad’s mother’s side of the family, they fled from Germany and left everything behind. We have no heirlooms/relics to remind us of who we are. It’s like an ancestral amnesia. If the family history wasn’t recorded in a history book about a small Iowa farm town, we might have lost the information. On my mother’s side, my grandmother’s maiden…
