Pleasing Him

Jesus did not die only for that one purpose,
you know..
 so that you could just go to heaven.

God wants you to have the most wonderful life.
He wants to live in You.
Think about this for a minute.
Live in You.
He does not want to sit around 
 just waiting for you at those pearly gates.

But he wants to LIVE IN YOU.
Because he is good and perfect.

All the food you would ever want.
Defeating all the illness and diseases.
Discouragement and fear wiped out.
Accept Christ into your heart today.
Be filled with his Holy Spirit 100%
And we will receive from him whatever
we ask because we obey him and do
the things that please him.


Colossians 1:27
For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles,
too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you.
This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
James 1:17
 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father,
who created all the lights in the heavens

Ephesians 2:6
For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us
 with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.

1 John 3:22
 And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.

Giving and Living the way God intended it

Giving and Living the way God intended it.

Well thats what is happening, all across the United States of America.
If you have heard the stories of those who have humbled themselves, and have
helped others to pay off their layaways at the kmarts annonomously.
You must be rejoicing over their kindness and generousity!  

The giving is happening not just at kmarts, but at electric companies,
mortgage payments, grocery stores, gas stations and in every area of peoples lives.
Annonoymous is growing. not into just one person but many peoples.
It is almost like a wild fire. The flame is being fanned by Rejoicing in the Lord.


Matthew 6:2
When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets
in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity!
I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.
(((Annonoymously)))

Mark 4:24
Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen,
the more understanding you will be given —and you will receive even more.

Share these verses and watch the generousity and kindness overflow all around you.
Speak about the giving that others are doing. Fan those Flames! Give God Glory!

Kindness and Generousity it dwells within the hearts of the Righteous!
His servants! The servants of Jesus Christ! For they stand on the word of God.
Believing his word to be Truth. When Jesus stated that when we Give we shall Receive.
By Golly. We know it is truth
.
Luke 6:38
Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down,
shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap.
The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. ”

John 3:27
John replied, No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven.

You might not think you have anything to give. Pray, ask God to reveal what you
have hidden, that he may reveal how you can help someone. He will answer you.
He will even provide it for you, as John had said
"no one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven"

Acts 20:35
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard.
You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons.
Give as freely as you have received!

 

cleansing our souls

Restoration occurs when we take responsibility for our actions.
Owning up and confessing our sins to God can set anyone free.
There is true power in confessing our sins as it cleanses our soul.
Psalm 32:5
Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself,
“I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.” And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Confessing our sins doesn't mean that we are a bad person.
Not confessing your sins can cause you not to prosper.
Proverbs 28:13
People who conceal their sins will not prosper,
but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.Confessing our sins is simply giving God permission to work in us.
Allowing the Holy Spirit to wash us clean and give us a new life.
Being set free from sin can only happen when you confess your sin to God.
Restoration doesn't come from hiding things from God.
Colossians 3:10
Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.

Really? Do you think that God does not know your sin?
Being Obedient in him, that takes confessing your sins.
How can you hide anything from God?
God hears and sees everything. You are not alone.
Job 34:21
For God watches how people live, he sees everything they do.
Ask him to reveal those hidden things in your life that are causing you to sin.
Lay down your sins before the Lord. Be Forgiven. Be Healed.
We’re not doing God a favor by praying each day. We are doing ourselves a favor.
By confessing our sins to the Lord, He forgives us. He cleanses us. 
It gives God a chance to forgive you, when you pray.
Praying and confessing your sins, allow the Holy Spirit to renew you in Christ.
It is like taking a refreshing shower.
1 John 1:9
But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all wickedness.

A lost key

The key of the little honda car liked to stick.
So we decided to get a new key made.
As George was putting the new key on ring,
He made the statement, Now don't loose the old one.
I put the old key into my pocket. The next day I went out to start
the car with the new key.
Nothing.
I could not get the new key to work
The cold getting to me.
 I decided, I would try again later.

The next day.. George said lets go out and see if we can start
that car. Grab the Keys.. Yep. KEY..S...


Searching and searching, frustration kicks in.
Hours of looking, even in some of those places
that I knew the key had no place to be. But, I looked anyways.

I sat down on the couch. And begin to pray.  George just coming in from outside, looking for the key, begins to loose his temper.
 He asks me
How can you just sit there, like you don't even care?

I replied, what good will it do if I get angry, or cry about it?
That is not going to change the fact, that I cannot find it.
Besides, I just sat down and was praying, asking God to reveal it to us.

You see, If God can look down and see one lost soul,
Or name each and every star, or know exactly how many hairs on your head.  Matthew 10:30  And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Well then surely he knows the where abouts of my key.
so Into prayer I went. I asked GOD to reveal that which is hidden, lost (the Key) and let it be found. Open our eyes that we may see.

Daniel 2:22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
      and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
      though he is surrounded by light.

George Figures out the trick to make it work.
So out we go out and start the with new key.
We check the oil and fluids and as he walks towards the house
he says
Bunny you are not going to believe this..
LOOK... The Key.. as plain as day..

We must have looked over that walkway 20 times...
Not once did he or I see it.

Sometimes things get misplaced. Even our daily walk with Christ.
Ask God to reveal those things that are hidden. He may show you more than just a key.

Matthew 13:44 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.

.
 Yep.. I LOST the orginal key.. 

Landon Micheal born stillborn

Tonight I found out that my neice and nephew lost their baby.
Landon Micheal was born stillborn.

The tears I shed were not only for April and Jesse, and not only for Landon.
The whole family were eagerly awaiting the birth of this child. My sister,
who would have been the grandma. The heartbreak when you loose a baby is so
overwelming.


Having Lost 2 of my own babies during pregnancy.
It stirred up all those emotions, from those years ago.
The emptiness. Loneliness. The shell I climbed into.

I asked my hubby.

"Why would God allow any baby to die like that?"

His reply was so gentle.
He said, "because they had to be flesh in order go to heaven.
God spared them from this world.  From sin.
God will only let you endure what you can handle.
Maybe those babies couldn't endure the earth

Maybe they were specail.  In Gods eyes"

Somehow I just felt so blessed to have been one of those moms
that had lost 2 babies. God knew that I would seek him for compfort.
That I could endure the anguish of a broken heart,  For the sake of another to be with
the Lord.

Please lift up April and Jesse and all the family members in Prayer that God will
be the compforter for them.

1 Corinthians 10:13
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

Psalms 139:13
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

2 Samuel 7:16
Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me ; your throne will be established forever

1 Chronicles 16:34
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
