This is a life or death situation, are you sure you want to read on? Today I want to encourage you to think about your salvation, are you Born again? I believe that God loves you and me.  Because we serve a living God, I believe God wants to have a personal relationship with both you and me.  Through our salvation, we are able to find out what our purpose in life is and we will receive the gift of eternal life. Your past Romans 3: 23 reminds us ‘For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.’  As I read this scripture I am reminded that I am a sinner and so are you. A price to pay, for our sin Romans 6: 23 reminds us ‘For the wages of sin is death.’  When you work at the end of the week or month you will receive your wages.  The same principal applies to sin, at the end of your life you will pay for your sin, death.  When we die we are separated from the living God.  There is another way … The Lord Jesus paid f...

As I think about these words today I want to do something my husband has been telling me for such a very long time.  According to him, one should sit down and write down your hopes and dreams.  He feels that one should visualize it in 3D. I also know that the Lord said that He looks at our thoughts and intent of our hearts. (Heb. 4: 12)  So to my mind, I believe that the Lord wants us to be Holy as He said so in His word ‘Be holy because I am Holy.’  My hope and dreams are so much more than I can imagine and I want them to be sanctified to the Lord for His approval.  I know that when I obey God, He is with me.  (Ps. 14: 5) As you think about your own sanctified imagination I do want to remind you to draw near to the Lord.  As the Lord God to help you move forward.  Let Him guide you and help you with your hopes and dreams. Prayer Lord God, please help me and my friends sanctify our imagination according to Your word, so that we...

Zechariah 7:8-10 (TLB) 8-9  Then this message from the Lord came to Zechariah. “Tell them, to be honest, and fair—and not to take bribes—and to be merciful and kind to everyone.  10  Tell them to stop oppressing widows and orphans, foreigners and poor people, and to stop plotting evil against each other. As I reflect on my journey of fast; these couple of weeks, I need to confirm how humbling it has been for me.  I have come to realize that I am so spoilt and that I actually am very blessed in being able to enjoy any kind of food. I have been reminded on so many occasions that I should not think evil of other people, believe that all people are good and that I should not allow my temper to rule my head.  I have also come to learn that by focusing my thoughts on the Lord for the day changed my entire perspective of the people around me. It is my heart’s desire, to draw closer to the Lord my God, I don’t want to be a disappointment and I have ...

Psalm 25:1-7 (AMP)  A Psalm  of David. Abba Father, O LORD, my God to you I lift up my soul.   O my God, in YOU I place my unwavering trust and in YOU I rely for Your steadfast confidence.  Please do not let me be ashamed or my hope in You be disappointed; please do not let my enemies triumph over me. O my LORD, as I wait for You expectantly I know I will not be ashamed, and those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed and face  humiliation and embarrassment. Please, LORD, let me know YOUR ways and teach me YOUR paths. Guide me in YOUR truth and teach me, for YOU are the God of my salvation; for You and only You I wait expectantly all day long.  Please remember, O LORD, Your tender compassion, and Your loving kindness, for they have been from of old. Please forget the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your loving kindness please remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LOR...

My prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord God praying Psalm 84. Abba Father Praise be to You for the privilege to come to church and bring praise to Your Holy Name, O LORD, God Almighty.  My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. O LORD, even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young - a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in YOUR house; they are ever praising YOUR Name.  Selah Blessed are those whose strength is in You, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.  As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. We gor from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. O LORD, Almighty, please hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob.  Selah Look upon our shield, O God; look with favo...

It is cold today, it's supposed to be Sumer.  I feel excited and looking forward to Christmas with my children.  My dress is hanging in the cupboard, my goodness now to lose a couple of pounds, too much cake! Don't laugh it could have been you.  I bake cakes for extra cash and with the cake money I was able to buy my dress, the number is correct but it seems I have put on an extra pound here and there.   Lord give me the strength to watch my eating habits and think before i put anything into my mouth.  Deut. 28: 8  The Lord your God will bless your work and fill your barns with corn.  Amen  Thank you Lord

Matthew 5: 13 - 16 13  “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery]. 14  “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;  15  nor does  anyone  light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.  16  Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds  and  moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven. Can you hear God's voice calling you? God wants us to enjoy our food each and every day, we also realize that when it comes to our food it is a gift from God.  We have something to enjoy and it makes us happy.  Some of our dishes require salt to enhance...

Psalm 119:105 New International Version (NIV) נ Nun 105  Your word is a lamp  for my feet,      a light  on my path. O Lord, thank You for reminding us that Your Word is a lamp for our feet, a light on our path. Create in us a sense of occasion and help us approach Your throne with the correct manner of occasion. Lord Jesus, open our eyes and ears to the Words in the scripture. In Your Holy Name amen

Proverbs 10: 12 12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. Have you noticed relationships are so difficult to maintain?  Working on forgiving and overlooking another's faults are one of my focused during my fasting period.  To be honest, so people just know how to irritate me.  So I have to really pay attention to my words, the way I react and be graceful in my approach. I am currently learning to filter my words and I am also learning to take other people's feelings into consideration.  I don't want to offend or hurt other people. Today let me encourage you and let me tell you it is difficult and I am learning so much but God has been so graceful towards me I can only thank Him.  My filters are working, I am able to wait and see what the outcome is. Prayer Abba Father, Lord as I think of the people who offend and hurt me, the people that took advantage of my kindness, the people that hated me.  Lord Jesus I forgive and overlook ...
