Ask Yourself

We effect

As christian in the world today we maybe the only Bible some see, and trust me when you tell a lost person you are saved they will watch you like a hawk to wait for you to slip up. And of course we do and we have to explain we are not perfect but forgiven. But what about the person who claim to be a christian and freely sins and acts just like the world think how many people that person is effecting by doing so. I heard one pastor say how many people do you send closer to Hell by the way you act as a christian.
You see many lost will say well you know John-doe over at that church well he is at the bar every Friday night with me, so he is no better then me. Well now you have a lost person who has totally turn from GOD because John-doe the christian, see WE EFFECT.

Romans 14:21
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.

Everything we do effects others, we need to think of them constantly. And live as GOD would want us to live - to glorify His name and Kingdom.

Can you sleep good at night?

Pray for Japan

Hello
My heart is so heavy for Japan. Words can't even express what they are going through. I pray GOD's comfort, peace, and strength for the vitims and their families. Japan has a long road ahead of them. BUT my main prayer is that people will come to know JESUS through this tragic event.
After this happened I thought about the end times and what the Lord says:

Matthew 24:1-8
1 And Jesus went out , and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down . 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately , saying , Tell us, when shall these things be ? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying , I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled : for all these things must come to pass , but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Our Father is coming back SOON!

Share

I have not been on here in awhile. I have totally missed it, And so I have a lot of blogs to post from my quiet times.
I hope all have been blessed and well.

On to the Bible Blog......

Ephesians 3:7

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of GOD given unto me by the effectual working of His power.

Here Paul is writing to the church at Ephesus, (and all believers). GOD has not called everyone to be apostles, pastors, or even evangelist, but He has called all to share the gospel.

GOD always gives us opportunities to share to others about Him and when He does He equips us with wisdom, words, courage and power. Whenever you have a opportunity to share make sure you don't turn away for that blessing. I know I have in the past and til this day I hate myself for it, I missed a blessing GOD would of had me do. We need to make ourselves available to GOD and others. Focus on the other person needs and GOD will show that person your caring heart and Himself. Be loving as CHRIST is!

JESUS and the Twelve

JESUS chose twelve apostles to serve with Him during His ministry and to provide leadership for the church after His ascension. Twelve probably were selected because this number corresponds to the twelve tribes of the Old Testament Israel. Chosen by JESUS after He prayed all night, the twelve included 2 sets of fishermen brothers, a tax collector, and a traitor. Among the twelve , Peter, James and John were particularly close to JESUS.

The Twelve:

1-Simon Peter, leader of the apostles
2-Andrew, brother of Simon
3-James, son of Zebedee and brother of John
4-John, the beloved apostle
5-Phillip, from Bethsaida
6-Bartholomew
7-Matthew, tax collector
8-Simon the Cananite(probably Simon the Zealot)
9-Thomas, from Galilee

10-James, son of Alphaeus

11-Lebbaeus
12-Judas Iscariot, who betrayed JESUS.
*Matthias was chosen by the apostles to replace Judas after the ascension of JESUS.

"Disciple" is a learner of follower
"Apostle" is a person who is sent with a special message or commission.
ALL 12 are both. JESUS called them to follow Him and sent them to carry on His work after He ended His earthly ministry.

10 Blessed years

Hello to all!!

Today my husband and I have been married 10 wonderful, blessed years. When GOD sent him to me and me to him GOD knew exactly what He was doing. People tell me and him all the time we are like two peas in a pod, we are different but we really complete each other. I can honestly say we are better people together then alone, he makes me a better person. Like I said 10years and we still act like we only been married a year, as my friends say we act like newlyweds.

Our marriage is strong in GOD and each other.

I can not really explain how much I love him in words!! BUT I truely thank GOD for putting us together.

Jason(HoneyBunny),
I love you more!! ;)


Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.


In His Name
GOD bless you and yours...

Happy Valetines' Day!!

John 15:9
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness".

Red - Black - White

JESUS took His red blood and washed my black heart white as snow.

PRAISE GOD HE TOOK THIS DIRTY SINNER(ME) AND SAVED ME FROM WHAT I DESERVE(HELL).

Our GOD is a GOD of grace, forgiveness, love, compassion, etc.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We all know it, but really think about what a wonderful, gracious GOD we have to send His son to die for us.

The Crowd...us...

Hello! FRIDAY!!
It is a cold, rainy day today. But thanking GOD for it. I pray everyone had a wonderful week this week.

Huge crowds followed JESUS......

Matthew 12:15

But when JESUS knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all:....
(Read it in whole Matthew 12:15-21)

I believe some or more of the crowd just came to JESUS for healing or just to see him heal someone else, yes many believed(praise GOD)......

So many times I hear people say they don't believe in GOD and he is not for them, but when trouble hits in their life the first thing they do is cry out to JESUS. um, to me they are like some of the crowd: heal us or let me watch you heal.

Just like this crowd in JESUS' day we(Christians) to may want CHRIST to bring great and visible victories in out lives. But JESUS work is often quiet, and it is only going to happen to his will and perfect timing, NOT ours.

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
In His Name
GOD bless you and yours....

TRUE HEALING IS WHEN YOU ASK JESUS IN YOUR HEART AND MAKE HIM LORD OF YOUR LIFE!!

The Vine

Good day to all!!

John 15:1-6

1I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw
them into the fire, and they are burned.

CHRIST is the vine and those who claim to be followers of CHRIST are the branches.

The fruitful branches are believers who are living union(following)CHRIST and produce much fruit. But those who turn their back from following CHRIST are the unfruitful and they will be cut off(separated) from the vine. Unfruitful followers of CHRIST are as good as dead and will be cast aside. Those who won't bear fruit for GOD or who try to block the efforts of GOD's followers will be cut off from the divine flow of life, the vine. Without the vine you can not survive.

Fruit is not just soul-winning it is also, prayer life, love, seeking and listening to GOD, our attitude, etc...

Abiding in CHRIST means:
-Believing
-Having Him as LORD of your life
-Doing His will
-Faith and Trust in Him
-Read His Word
-Fellowship with other believers

When the Branches bear much fruit GOD is glorified!!
John 15:8
Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.

The Author

Good Monday to all!!

I know many times I have blogged about the Bible. But yesterday my pastor said something that I really liked and pretty much puts it clear. I will get to that in a minute.

How important is the Bible to you?

We all say it is important, but do we picked it up Monday thru Saturday? Or do you even carry it to church on Sunday? Do we defend it like we should? Do we share with others?

Do you love the author?

Ok, on to what my pastor said that will sum all the above up:

There was a lady who had every novel ever written, she read all of them and some twice or more. She had them from left to right down rows on her huge book shelves. Her favorite would start left and go down to the bottom to her least favorite. Well one day she met a man and they began dating, they were madly in love. Few months passed and she invited him over for dinner. When he walked in he was totally amazed over all the novels she had. She told him how she read every novel ever written. He said I actually wrote a novel couple years ago. Well she knew she had to have it so she said hold on I know I have it. She began to look on her shelf starting at the top because she just knew it had to be one of her favorites because she loved this man. As she continued to look she made it to the bottom and there the novel sat. Well after he left she began to read the novel again and when she finished it she put it on the top with her favorites because she looked at it different, she loved the author.

If we love the author, we will love his words?

2 Peter 1:20-21
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Psalms 1:2-3

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

MIL Birthday!

Today my mil turned 60, I don't think see would mind me putting that on here, because she don't look it anyways. We are going to celebrate tonight for dinner then cake at their house. The reason I am putting this on here is because I want to thank GOD for all his blesses on me and my family. He is so good to us.
Family is so important it is my back bone in my life. GOD said family is......

1 Timothy 5:8If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

 Proverbs 11:29

He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.

 

Talk Type to you later....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

GOD bless you and yours.....

Love...Who?

Galatians 6:10

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Galatians 5:14

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love they neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 22:37-39

37JESUS said unto him, thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Romans 13:8

Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

I could type more and more verses of GOD's word about loving others. *ding,ding,ding* You think it may be important...lol GOD would not of put it in His word so much if not. So we need to take heed to it.

Who should we love?

First above all our LORD, then others(others meaning ALL).

Why is love for others(all) so important?

We are in debt to CHRIST for the love He has poured out on us. The only way we can even begin to repay this is by loving others(all). Plus, the LORD told us to!! :) and when you are saved He changes your heart where you want to love others(all).

What if there is someone who is hard to "love"?

Trust me there will be at some point in your life, at least in my life there is. But I love them in the name of JESUS, but fleshly it is just hard to! So what we can do is make a list of that persons' good parts and just focus on them.

And plus, don't ever be mean(or mean back) to that person. Life is short and GOD wants us to L-O-V-E!!!

All the time I hear parents telling their children "the golden rule" (treat others like you want to be treated) and the whole time some don't even know it is straight out of GOD's word. :)

So ending with this:

Love as CHRIST loves.

Treat others(all) as you want to be treated.

Is it Worry or Concern? 2of2

Hello!!

Matthew 6:34

Take therefore no thought(don't worry) for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

There is a difference between worry and genuine concern. Worry immobilizes you, and may cause fear to rise up. But concern moves you to action.

So, that being said:  planning for tomorrow is time well spent; worrying about tomorrow is time wasted.

Concern=Planning:

Making goals

Make schedules

Trusting in GOD's guidance

Worry:
Makes your plans interfere with your relationship with GOD
Makes fear rise up

Don't let worries about tomorrow affect your relationship with GOD today.



In His Name
GOD bless you and yours.....

What can worry do? 1of2

Good day to all!! I have been so blessed by our SAVIOUR. More then I will ever deserve.

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought(don't worry) for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

What can worry do?:

1.damage your health

2.consume your thoughts

3.disrupt your productivity

4.affects the way you treat others in a negative way

5.reduce your ability to trust in GOD

GOD bless you and yours....

Poof! It's yours....um No!

Hello All!! Hope everyone is feeling their blessings.

           

                                          

14:13-14

13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the son.                                                        
14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

JESUS does say we can ask for anything, but we must remember our request must line up to GOD's will. GOD will not grant request outside of His nature or will. He is not some magic genie that you rub and poof! it's yours, so your selfish desires are met. So that new expensive sports car that you want  may not be what GOD thinks you need.  

Plus, if we are truly following GOD and seeking His will in our life then I believe our prayers/request will be in line with what He wants for us and what we need.

I prayed for something for so long. Then only day I thought man I am praying all wrong I am praying for my selfish desires not GOD's will. So, I totally changed that prayer:

 Lord,
 You know what I stand need of and what I want, only give me what is in your will, that your name be glorified. amen.

See, Only GOD knows what is best for us. What we think we want or need may not be good for us and GOD knows that.

Who formed the New Testament?

Good day to all!! Pray blesses each of you with a wonderful weekend!

Who Formed the New Testament?

John 16:13-16
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you. 16 "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me." 
                                          

JESUS said the Holy Spirit would show them "things to come".

• Their mission.
• What they face.
• What their efforts bring.
• The final out coming.

The disciples did not fully understand all this until after JESUS' death and the Holy Spirit came.

Then the Holy Spirit revealed truths to the disciples that they wrote down in the books that form the New Testament.

John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.


In His Name
GOD bless you and yours....

Just a Prayer Away....

Good Morning!!

We have all done things that are wrong, and we have failed to obey GOD's laws. Because of this we have been separated from GOD our Creator. Separation from GOD is death; but, by ourselves, we can do nothing to become united with GOD.

JESUS was not only a man; he was GOD's son. Because JESUS never disobeyed GOD and never sinned, only he can bridge the gap between the sinless GOD and sinful mankind.

JESUS freely offered his life for us, dying on the cross in our place, taking all our wrongdoing upon himself, and saving us from the consequences of sin--including GOD's judgement and death.

JESUS took our past, present, and future sins upon himself so that we could have new life. Because all our wrongdoing is forgiven, we are reconciled to GOD. And, JESUS resurrection from the dead is the proof that his sacrifice on the cross was acceptable to GOD, and his resurrection has become the source of new life for whoever believes that JESUS is the Son of GOD. All who believe in him may have this new life and live in union with him.  Eternal life with JESUS is just a prayer away....

                                                                                                   

Romans 5:8
But GOD commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us.

Romans 10:13
For whosoever call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved.

JESUS PAID IT ALL,  ALL TO HIM WE OWE!! SIN HAS LEFT US A STAIN, BUT JESUS WASHED IT WHITE AS SNOW!!

Thank you LORD!!

I was saved on June 9 @  14yrs old. All the glory to my SAVIOUR JESUS!!

(Oh, I will Keep reposting this every once in while!)

Lets Fellowship.

Hello to all! Hope everyone is having a blessed day. Where we are located we are had a winter storm..YAY, well not so much YAY, but yay.....lol. But really it is beautiful.

There is fellowship and then there is christian fellowship. And there is a difference.

                                           1 John 1:1-4

1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4We write this to you that your joy may be full.

3 Principles to true christian fellowship:

• Being grounded in the word of GOD.
• Unity of Believers.
• Being Daily renewed through the Holy Spirit.

True fellowship is social and spiritual togetherness, only made right through a relationship with GOD.

Thank You to those who serve Our Nation

I wanted to just share something that touched my heart. I learned from it and I think you will as well.

First, I want to thank the men and women who are fighting for The United States of America. Everyone of them and their families are sacrificing much, including their lives; which brings me now to what I wanted to share.........(I am going to try to make a long story short...try)

There was a Marine platoon(I believe that is what they are called) these men became very close. They pretty much were like brothers, because of course they spent every waking hour together. One of the marine soldier, lets call him David, was a christian and he would talk about the love of GOD and what JESUS done on the cross. Many of the others were christians as well and some even gave their life to the LORD under David's witnessing. But there was this other marine soldier, we will call him Ben, who did not believe in GOD or the blood JESUS shed. Day in and day out David would witness to Ben, with no avail. Then one day the platoon leader comes to all the soldiers and told them to get ready they are headed out for an assignment. While they are under fire and hiding from their enemies David was still witnessing to Ben, again with no avail. One afternoon they were under heavy fire and pretty much cornered by their enemy without radio communication; the platoon leader told the platoon that he is sending two of them to head south to get help from a near by platoon. He told Ben he and another fellow marine were chosen to do this. The platoon leader looked at both of those men and said you have served your country bravely and we are all proud, but I know one of you is not going to make it back. After he gave the two final instructions, David went to the platoon leader and said he wanted to go and take the place of Ben. The platoon leader looked at him and said are you sure? and then David replied oh yes I am sure. The platoon leader look puzzled then asked why? David just looked him straight in the eye and said that Ben is lost and don't know JESUS and if he dies he will spend eternity in hell, and then said, I am saved by the blood of JESUS and I know where I am going, to be with my SAVIOUR. The platoon leader looked even more puzzled and said are you really sure? David smiled and  replied yes with all my heart, I don't want him to die without JESUS. The platoon leader smiled and said ok. The platoon leader went to his platoon turned to Ben and said change of assignment you are not going. Ben had a relieved look on his face and was joyful. Ben did not know David asked to take his place. When Ben went to tell David that he was not chosen to go anymore he could not find him. He asked another soldier where he was. That soldier then informed Ben that David was chosen to go out. Ben was worried about his friend. A day and half passed and the other platoon moved in to help. After they all were back safely Ben began looking for David, the platoon leader met him and informed him David did not make it out. Ben said that was almost me. The platoon leader said yes it was, but David came to me and ask me if he could take your place. Ben looked up at the leader and said what?.  The platoon leader then began to tell Ben what David told him and why David choose to go and not Ben. Ben stood there tear running down his cheeks look up to Heaven and walked away. Two weeks later Ben received a letter in the mail, he opened it and it was a letter from David post dated the day they left for assignment. Ben began to read the letter and this is what stuck out......Ben I pray to GOD that he will use me in anyway that you will be saved. In that letter David witnessed to Ben writing GOD's word. Ben again with tears falling, he kneeled down and accepted JESUS as LORD of his life. Ben was called and is now a preacher overseas to other marines.

John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


What I learned:
Witness, never stop
Love others
JESUS was the one who took my place
