When John the Baptizer sent word to Jesus, he was not in fear or doubt.
Matt 11:2-3 When John was in prison, he heard about the things Christ had done. So he sent his disciples 3 to ask Jesus, "Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?"
He had lived a life in obedience to Holy Ghost. He knew Jesus, his followers needed to know Jesus and to follow… Continue

We all face change. How we deal w/ it though can make all the difference. As I and those around me face change, Holy Spirit has told me, “for some things to happen, other things have to take place.” God has His Hands on my life. That has to be what I, not just hope but, believe and trust. He wants and knows what is best for us. He stands behind His Word. He stands behind His Word. He stands behind His Word.
1 Pet 1:13 Therefore,…

When Jesus came and walked as a man, He had a human nature.
Heb 2:18 Because Jesus experienced temptation when he suffered, he is able to help others when they are tempted.
Heb 4:15 We have a chief priest who is able to sympathize with our… Continue

We seek God and His counsel. God has shown us His ability to speak to us in so very many ways. He spoke light into existence. When He told the Israelites to take the land, His Power was w/o question. David put Goliath down w/ a stone. When Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of baal, to show the people whom they should serve. After the 450 prophets carried on to no avail. We read in… Continue

2 Cor 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. NIV
But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me.… Continue

All through the Word we are told, “ take courage,; take heart; be of good cheer; be comforted.
John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Ps 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! Mark 6:50 because they all… Continue

( this is not a clever made up story, to make a point to anyone. this just happened a little while ago and I felt lead to share)
I find myself in a wonderful position. Not all of the bills are caught up. I still have things wrong w/ my body. But, as I sit down to eat my homemade chicken potpie, a feeling of gratefulness sweeps over me.…

We want as well as need to know the Will of God. It is His Will that is perfect not our own.
Rom 12:2 tells how to know what His Will for us is. The NIV says :Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.Then…

You know how when we look at something and we identify it as, let’s say blue.
Then we have something else to compare it to that maybe more blue, a true blue.
Then all of a sudden what was blue is no longer as blue.
So it is w/ our lives. As Christians we must follow the teachings of Christ.
And the leading of Holy Ghost, that is what our spirits responses to, nothing else.
Anything other than that we get in trouble. From envy to insecurity, and everything else.
When…

When things take place in our life, we struggle for understanding at times. We find ourselves questioning God, we want and need answers. Nothing is wrong w/ any of that, however we are asking the Creator of all things. Complicated would be a understatement, to…

Be on the lookout for those who who come as sheep, yet they are not lamb but wolves. They may not all start the same way, but they do end the same. Some may come as weak and in need of help, others may offer the solution you have been waiting for. But it ends the same way, their goal is to rob you of what they can. It may be money, it may be fellowship, or it could be peace. Some act as sheperds, in John 10:12…

“If only” two simple words but, w/ them a very great power. A power in which we can gain wisdom, or the power that an anchor has on a ship. I think also, “if only” allows us the protection not to be hurt again. “I would be able to do that, “if only...”
One definition of “if only” is: an… Continue

A little longer then a year ago, we were devastated by the actions of some people ,we hold very near and dear. We were lied about, then they gossiped about all of it. All the while we were going through a most difficult time. This is one of the things I wrote, right after all that. Hope you enjoy.

When it comes down to it, it is a mindset. A way of life.
We decide to serve our Master, we gave ourself to Him. We all have "things" we all come to a place where we must chose.
It seems easy to understand when we stub our toe, it hurts. We walk a little different for a time. We get the flu so, we adjust how we care for ourself. Those things just seem simple, "how life is."
To our sprit serving Him is the same way. We are lead to read the Word, we bow our knees…

I came across this, thought some might see what I saw:
...This is the story: The king of a certain country was growing old, and he had no son to succeed him. He announced to his people that he would choose an heir to the throne from among the young men of the country by a competitive test which would give all an equal chance. On the day appointed a great number of young men presented themselves. A certain test was made, and some failed while others passed. Then other tests came, and each…

When one step forward, two steps back is progress.
God wants us to be trusting Him.
We all have times when it appears we are getting no where fast.
The power that lives and breathes in Hope, is what we need to continue.
There was a time that Jesus taught that, His body and Blood they needed to consume.
Many turned away, Jesus turned and asked His disciples, “will you leave also?”
They answered, “where would we go Master?”
When we face what seems impossible to…

I have shared things from my past, throwing rocks and fits. Turning my back and things like that.
But, the sum total for all those things comes down to this. If I were to walk away, where would I go ?
Do I think, His Love for me is false ? Or in some way, I could change His Love ? I wonder if we believe
that if we fight, kick and scream, He will help us quicker ? If somehow He can be stronger or make a special
exception just "us." We give our hearts to Jesus, we…
