Welcome!


I would like to pick up where I left off in my last publishing on 6-15-18, on the power of faith. Although there is so much more to learn and digest on this subject, I would like to give you what I have learned practiced and know to be true thus far. 

   This can turn into a deep subject matter, however, I will work at not allow that to be the case for this publishing.   
   
   Once we accept Jesus into our heart the Father God becomes our heavenly Father. It's like being adopted. Only Our heavenly Father is far greater than an earthly parent, He is love, peace, and joy,  and, He cannot lie.  He would cease to be God if He did, He has to stay true to His word. That's another reason He can't go against anyone's will, He gave us each a free will and can't take it back. 

   Faith is a spiritual force and the currency of heaven. The first time I heard the latter part of that statement I thought of currency as in money, but then I thought of a current of electricity moving with power. Faith in God gives Him that power as we raise our hands in surrender, taking them off of the situation, it frees God to be God in our lives. Because we trust Him, we trust that what He said is what He will do. We may not like the journey or the process, but that is where trust in Him comes in, believing He, as our heavenly Father, has our best interest at heart.  

   I have found that people who don't keep their own word have a difficult time trusting God to His. It says in Matthew 5:37 "But let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes's, and your 'No', mean 'No'. MEV. 
   
   As I have said before, I am cautious of what I say because I am bound to my word. I am learning God is bound to His word as well, if He says something He will do it. I have taken Him at His word in some big situations in my life, He did not disappoint me. It's easy to trust someone who has never let you down and has always been there for you, always keeping their word. 
   Years ago I heard a well-known man of God make the following statement, (it's not word for word, but really close); 
   It's not hard to trust someone who cannot and will not fail, because He is God Himself. 
He was teaching about faith. 

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are three in one and cannot be explained. But once you receive Jesus into your heart there is a sense of peace and joy that are like none other. I have seen God take someone who was hard, mean, selfish and rude and turn them around in the blink of an eye. Only the God I serve could have done something as supernatural as that. 
   
You cannot see air, but you trust when you take a breath it will be there because you have experienced it all of your life. That's an example of how I am with God, I cannot see Him, but I know He is there, giving me life.

Welcome!

I am going to continue with my thought process from the posts on 6-10-18 "while loading the dishwasher", please go to that publishing if you would like further explanation.


What I have been studying and meditating on are my rights as His/Gods child. I have heard the following analogy used on a few different occasions while listening to different teachings.
   -If you have an inheritance but you don't know you have one, you can't claim it and receive what is rightfully yours-.

  We as a body of Christ have fallen so incredibly short of what our heavenly father has for us. Jesus paid an awesome price for us with His blood redeeming us back or buying us back with His blood.

I have a lot on this topic running through my thoughts, I will do my best not to be all over the page.

   One thing I know to be true from personal experience is, you can not be a rebellious child of God and expect to receive His best for your life. He has a perfect will and a permissive will. He will let you do what you want, He has to, He gave every man a free will and He won't over-ride it.

   I have taken many wrong turns in life, facing the consequences of them, thinking it was just the way it was. I knew I loved God, but I also felt there was more to life as His child, at least I hoped there was, so I set out to find the missing ingredients.
   On this journey, I have learned a lot! One huge thing (to me anyhow) is that obedience is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15:22

   I will admit, I only understood to a degree what this scripture meant until my eyes were opened as I seen it unfold. I am convinced obedience will open doors to answer prayers that would not have been opened otherwise.
   In my case, God was releasing me -- telling me it was time to leave a church where I was on the praise team. I did not want to leave and did not understand the "why" behind it at all, but, I know the voice of God and knew I needed to go. At first, I thought He just didn't want me on the team anymore, but as I stepped off the platform the last night I was scheduled to sing with the team, I knew I was not only stepping down from that position but that I was to leave the church also. So I did.
   The very next day I received a call, my obedience paid off and opened the door to the answer to my prayers. Nobody can tell me that that step of obedience wasn't directly linked to my answered prayer, because I know without a shadow of a doubt that it was.
   I was led to go to another church which has opened other doors for me through divine connections. I had to trust God that He knew best even though I could not see any light at the end of the tunnel. He does not live in time as we do, He knows the end from the beginning and what we need to do to reach our full potential in Christ Jesus and His finished work on the cross. We just need to trust Him, knowing He knows best.

   Through that one huge act of obedience, I have learned to listen to what God is asking me to do,  whether it is through His written word or the many other ways He speaks to me. As long as His written word confirms what I believe He is telling me to do, I'll do it, He will NOT go against His word for me, you, or anyone else.
I have realized also that there is timing for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1. I am learning to wait on that timing, but to move when I know it's the right time.
I am learning so much about what my rights as His child are, Lord willing next week I will continue with my thought process on the power of faith.

Welcome!


   Since my last post 6-3-18, 😐 as I was sitting down to writing this blog I stopped, asking Holy Spirit to show me what to write I felt as though I had nothing to stay.
   I got up out of my chair and walked to the kitchen, as I was loading the dishwasher many subjects came to me, among those subjects included a thought about the following.
    It doesn't matter "who" you are, what matters is "Who's"you are.

It's good to know people and have contacts, but ultimately promotion and everything good and perfect come from God.
 It doesn't matter what my last name is, and it doesn't matter what your last name is. What matters is if we have accepted Jesus into our heart. If so, we have been adopted into the family of God, we are His kids. If He he asks us to do something as long as we do what He has asked us to do, He will do the rest.
   I used to think that If I would have been born into another family (this, that, or the other) or if I was the daughter of popular people (this or that). But the truth is I was born into an amazing family! The family of God! And, my Heavenly Father and Brother Jesus are more popular than what I could have ever imagined, and, they own it all!
Psalms 50:10-- For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. NKJV 
1 Corinthians 10:26-- for "the earth is the Lords and all it's fullness". NKJV

Truth be told you can have all of the money in the world and life can appear to be grand from the outside,  but unless you have asked Jesus in your life there will always be a void and emptiness on the inside. Unless you are a part of the family of God, it really doesn't matter what your name is.
   Money doesn't buy happiness, Jesus already paid for our happiness, peace, joy, and true prosperity with his blood. Money can't buy that!



John 3:16--For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. AMP    

2 Corinthians 5:17--Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. NKJV 

Galatians 4:6--And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying "Abba, Father! NKJV 

 Romans 8:17--and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ... NJKV

Welcome!

   Since my publishing on 5-28-18, I have been moving forward in many areas.

   As I was sitting down getting ready to read a newsletter from a ministry, I was reminded of something my best friends grandson said to me the other day as I was taking him to play with my grandson. He said, "are we there yet?" I replied, "almost,  just down the road and then three more turns". I told him there were only three turns but having only been to my grandson's new house a few times myself, I miss informed him. So I asked him to count the turns until we would arrive at the destination. "Okay", he replied, one, two, three, yeah! There is their house.

   This scenario reminds me of how we are with God when we have been on a long journey to the promise. Asking, "When God?" I know I have asked that a time or two. How long is the road, how many turns or bumps in the road am I going to travel until I'm there? How many Christmases, birthdays, anniversaries are going to pass without seeing the manifestation of the promise?

   I personally went through that very thing for seven years, it seemed like the answer to my prayer took a lifetime. It had been so long it seemed as though my situation was going to remain the way it was, but, I wouldn't let anything but what Gods word said come out of my mouth when it came to that situation. I was holding on to His promises against all odds and everything everyone was telling me. The Bible say's "God be true and man be a liar" Romans 3:4. God showed me through that situation that He is faithful!

   Sometimes the answer to our promise is based on someone else's obedience, God cannot go against man's will. It could be forgiveness on our part, or, perhaps busting the gates of hell with prayer. Sometimes it's simply a matter of being still before Him and listening to His direction that will lead to the answered prayer. Perhaps it's simply a matter of trusting Him, waiting, and not taking the matter into our own hands. The Bible says "the just shall live by faith" Hebrews 10: 38.

    I also know that we cannot have unforgiveness in our hearts.
 In Mark 11: 24-25, it reads "I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if believe that you've received it, it will be yours. V25. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your in heaven will forgive your sins too". NLT


 Other times the answer comes gradually, that happened with one of my grandsons. He was born premature and had a bleed on the brain, the doctors said he would be a vegetable, but Gods word said something totally different. Every day on my lunch break I would take my little book of promises and walk the stairs in the stairwell quoting Gods word concerning healing over my grandson. I called him, "smart boy" because our words are a creative force. Today He is a smart healthy teenager.

   Whatever our situation God is faithful! Isaiah 55:11 read "So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire,  And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. AMP

I also know we have an enemy that is fighting the answer to our prayers.
   In Daniel 10: 12-13 it reads "...don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come to answer your prayers. V13. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Micheal, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of  Persia. NLT

Whatever situation we are facing, and whatever answer to our prayer we are waiting for, God has done His part He defeated Satan and all of his demons.
   Colossians 2:15 reads "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil against us], He made a public example over of them [exibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross". AMP

   John 19:30 reads So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,"It is Finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit". NKJV. He gave us the victory through in Jesus Christ, He took the beating, was nailed to the cross, Gave up His spirit, went down to hell and disarmed satan. finished work on the cross!

HOLD ON!!! Don't give up! Don't allow negative thoughts to bombard your thinking, renew your mind with the word of God!
This I know! HE IS FAITHFUL!!!
