Children are God’s blessings

 Proverbs 22:6 AMP


6 Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents],
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.


This Bible verse is so powerful and filled with words that are powerful - Teach, God’s Wisdom, God’s will. 


When you wake up in the morning, do you start your day with getting high on drugs or alcohol or other things, or do you send yourself and your children off each day with prayer?

A gift from God.


Now, what I hear from others is “keep it real”. Well I am keeping it real. This is information I hear from people first hand of how their parents would begin their day. 


The former things cost money, over time destroy the mind, body and soul; and the latter, is free and gives life, healing, health, happiness, and joy. 


In America, we over eat, over work, overspend, and do not get enough rest. 

Being too busy is not good. Actually, it is Satan’s way of keeping you from spending time with God, so that you are tiring yourself out to the point of frustration and discontentment - which leads to unrest, chaos, being unorganized, and backed up on what is really important in life - which is  having a relationship with Jesus.

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 AMPC 


1 Keep your foot [give your mind to what you are doing] when you go [as Jacob to sacred Bethel] to the house of God. For to draw near to hear and obey is better than to give the sacrifice of fools [carelessly, irreverently] too ignorant to know that they are doing evil.

2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.

3 For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words.


Just being at home and teaching your children to make their beds, how to change their sheets weekly, how to wash dishes, dry them and put them away - all the while you are teaching in love, not making the atmosphere like they are prisoners of war. There is so much wealth children can learn from you, how to communicate, building healthy relationships, patience, appreciating the things God has blessed them to have and how to take good care of them, as well as being productive at home actually increases creativity- which leads to success in life.

We walk daily through the door that God opens for us and are not grateful and thankful for His blessings. I explained to my children a few years ago that when you hold the door open for someone and they don’t even say “thank you”, it makes you mad. Well that’s what we all do to God everyday, who feel they are entitled to neglect their house, and everything in it - and may I add, complain about taking care of what you are blessed with - which is your rightful duty to teach your Children about God because they are His blessing to you. 


Is everyone helping do laundry? Do your children know how to fold clothes and properly put them away? Do you eat as a family at least two meals a day? Do you make time to read the Bible together? If you answered no to most of these questions then truly get in the word yourself and let God lead and guide you daily in a life that is filled with good.

We are not smarter than God nor do we know in what direction to turn most of the time anyway. Let your life be filled with light (Jesus) not dark (Satan) so when your children do step off temporarily into things that can destroy them, or take a detour, it won’t last long; and there will be some who will not steer off at all. So don’t underestimate God and His love for you. 


*****I would like to add, God doesn’t look at your past failures, mistakes, or anything that you feel is too bad for God to love you. He already loves you perfectly, and forgives you. His love never fails or never disappoints. *****

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
