How Long Shall I Be With You?

I enjoy reading the Bible and I write of this often of how Jesus was with His disciples constantly, teaching them many things by His actions, wisdom, and divine power. Although they were not Holy, being in His presence infected and affected them profoundly. They had some big shoes to fill; but Jesus gave them help ; which is the Holy Spirit, that was with them and in them always as they walked on this earth. We as Christians, have that same Holy Spirit in us as well.            John 14:23-26   Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC   23  Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him. 24  Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe  and  obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear  and  heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent ...

Can I Love You This Much?

Goodness scares so many people! Those who reject good in their life, have had many struggles, live in an environment that bleeds tragedy, poverty, and chaos. They are surrounded by negativity in all situations, Word, thought and deeds! That mindset keeps their lives in "fear of" where they feel - "There is no hope"! Much of what we experience in our lives is a choice, and a mindset; as mentioned above. We feel and believe - this is how life is, so "we" settle in and receive more of it. I Corinthians 10:1-14 AMPC   For I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, that our forefathers were all under  and  protected by the cloud [in which God’s Presence went before them], and every one of them passed safely through the [Red] Sea, And each one of them [allowed himself also] to be baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea [they were thus brought under obligation to the Law, to Moses, and to the covenant, consecrated and set apart to the se...

Who's Driving?

Authentication and Authorization!

We have to take authority over everything the devil comes against us with that is not of God - cancer, addictions, worry, depression, doubt, divorce, diabetes, fear, sexual impurity, suicide, and many more debilitating diseases and chronic conditions that destroy us physically and mentally. Fear is our biggest weapon Satan uses to get you focused on the danger and pain, more than focus on who took our pain and suffering thousands of years ago so we wouldn’t have to. This is how we succumb to defeat! "I GIVE UP" “The seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!  And He said to them, I saw Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven. Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.  Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject t...

Okay So Who Am I?

I am not who you say I am! If God says I am successful, then I am successful. If God says I am righteous, then I am righteous. If God says I am loving, then I am loving. If God says I am wealthy, then I am wealthy (not the world’s definition of wealth) God’s wealth is defined as good health (that leads to a quality of life), love (God’s love is servitude, gratitude, and seeks the good in all people and all things) and joy (God’s joy keeps your mind and heart in a state of, “What is good about this day, instead of focusing on what went wrong - and meditate on that more than the other! It’s a good place to be! I will give you a scenario of how we allow a negative thought to consume us. For example, “It’s hot in this room”. Now if you keep telling yourself it’s hot, it’s hot, it’s hot, it’s hot - yep, I know you are saying, “Okay, I get it! It’s Hot! Before you know it, you become irritable, touchy, and even angry. Whereas, you have a mind set that it is hot and there is no relief. ...

Where you "Lead" I will follow!

God we have lost our way in this world, running around in the dark, not sure where our steps are taking us - so we grab hold of others who we feel can lead and guide us! "Others" do not know in which direction they are going either.  Luke 6:39 AMPC " He further told them a proverb: Can a blind [man] guide and direct a blind [man]? Will they not both stumble into a ditch or a hole in the ground?" Imagine holding on to someone in a dark place who can't see what's up ahead as well. One false step could take you over a cliff; with no turning back, yet we put our trust in that person, following their lead. Those who live in "safe mode" fear going out in deep waters and perhaps never experienced God's love and power and those who are in constant chaos and turmoil repeatedly stay in that environment - only because it's familiar and fear God because nothing in their life has changed for the better. So both parties stay stagna...

My Heart Speaks Beauty!

There's this beautiful cream sweater I have had my eye on for the past two days that caused me to be in "Awe" of the design and beauty of it! I did not purchase it as of yet; however, I did pray to God, if I should buy it. Well, as of today, I have not received a resounding yes or no; but I did receive something more powerful and impacting that caused me to truly meditate on what the scripture in I Timothy 2:9-11 AMPC is truly saying . It reads as follows:  "Also [I desire] that women should adorn themselves modestly and appropriately and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with [elaborate] hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing, But by doing good deeds (deeds in themselves good and for the good and advantage of those contacted by them), as befits women who profess reverential fear for and devotion to God. Let a woman learn in quietness, in entire submissiveness." Although these verses are connected to how, as Christians, we are to ad...
