Old Writing - May 11, 2006

Good Morning!!!!! I will praise the Lord with all my soul, and all that is within me..... Praise His Holy Name. Please take the time to read the Living Water today. It kinda goes along with what I was talking about yesterday. God wants so much to be close to us. He wants us to draw nigh (near) unto Him, and He to us. We should desire to be named 'A good friend of the Lord' - no longer calling us servant. He wants so much to be invited into our/your day. If you stomped your big toe this morning and hurt really bad, this may seem like something really small to call on the Lord for, but the Lord wants you to call on Him even in the little things. Nothing is too small or too insignificant that isn't important to Him. In these last days, a relationship with the Father will be very important. You nor I want to hear the words 'Depart from me for I never knew you'. That will not be....that can not be me! I refuse to hear those words. Just as you would work a...

Tell Somebody!

Good Morning and Praise be unto our Lord who along is worthy to be praised! The Lord is good all the time. I am so thankful this morning that I know His voice and voice of a stranger I'll not follow. Do you truly know and understand how good God is? Let this be what you think on today! I can not stress to you how important it is that we begin to get our lives in order for the Lord Jesus' return. I want to explain to you that it's not enough that you've said the sinner's prayer. Yes, it's part of it, but it's not the only thing that you'll need to do. Some will say the sinner's prayer and think that they are set to make it into heaven. Or they might attend church everytime the doors are open, and thing this will get them into heaven. But it's not enough. You can not say the sinner's prayer and live anyway you want to, no that will not work! You have to make the choice each day when you wake up to live for Him, to serve Him. Don't put off ...

Sons and Daughters

I was up late the other night; I couldn’t sleep. So I just began to thank the Lord and told Him how much I appreciate Him – you know just loved on Him. I began to listen, and I heard that we are all children of God. We were all made/birth in His image, but we are not all sons and daughters of God. He showed me this in this illustration: A billionaire father has twelve (12) children, but only four (4) were mature enough to run the family business and would truly enjoy the benefits of the inheritance the father had for the children. These four (4) walked, talked, studied and mimicked their father so they could continue and have the success their father had and had put in place for them to have. The other eight (8) didn’t put forth the time or the effort to truly learn of or from the father. They never really cultivate the relationship with the father. They had access to the father; they saw him in passing. They said their hellos and goodbyes so quickly; they so busy living and...

Two Truths

There are many things in this world that are true, and some that are false. There are many things that are right, and things that are wrong. In my thirty-seven (37) years of life, I have come to the conclusion of two definite truths – One (1) Jesus loves me (us) so very much, and two (2) the devil hates me so very much. These are true. Sometimes I think back on instances in my life, and think “It amazing that I am still alive.” But I know now that God had a plan! Jesus loves me (us) so much to the point of dying for us! Jesus died for you and me, and if you think of that in a personal way – ponder it – ‘Man, someone gave their life just me.’ Now I would probably give my life to save the lives of my children, but I a complete stranger; I’m gonna have to go with a solid no. It would definitely have to be God if I were to die for someone else; I ‘m just being honest – it’s preservation of life. Jesus probably could have backed out of dying, but He wanted God’s will, not His wil...

Calling Things to be Not as Though They Are

Praise the Lord: I want to encourage you today to continue to fight the good fight of faith. No matter how the storm(s) rage around you, continue to stand on the Word of the Lord. He is faithful that promises, and He is no respecters of person - meaning if He did for one He can and will do it for you. We have really got to get on the good foot here. If we don't, we will be defeated when we're suppose to be victorious. For far to long, we have been saying things that are contrary to what the Word of God says. Yes it might "look like" it's going on, but that's not what the Word of God says. We can call those things to be not as though they are. My daughter is only 4 months old, and I pray that she is an obedient and respectful child. I have learn to confess things that I want to be in my life. I pray that as for me and my household we will serve the Lord; if one in the household be saved, then rest can be saved. We can stand up against the enemy and win. Don...

As Unto the Lord!!!

Hello All: As you all my know, I will be giving birth to a little baby boy this April. I can't wait! I can't wait to see what he will look like; for him to see me and the world. I apologize for not writing as often as I should, but I'm here to give you some encouragement as usual. We as Christians should walk in love at all times, but that can be difficult sometimes with certain people. I am learning to do things as unto to the Lord. Do I like it? Not all the time, but it is allowing me to grow in an area that needs maturing as a child of God. Sometimes my husband will say that he will take our two (2) yr old daughter a bath, and I wind up having to do it. I use to get a little irritated when he didn't keep his word and do what he said he will do. But the enemy will use little things like this to keep strife and discord in your household, in your marriage. The Word of God tells us that it's the small foxes that spoil the vine. We all have things that just irritate u...
