Death

What can be said about death? It is a subject most of us avoid if we don't know where we are spending eternity. You hear most say they died because it was his or her time. When a child dies you hear God needed another angel.

I don't know what book they are reading because that is not what the Bible says at all. In Psalm 91 God himself says that He will satisfies us with long life. Another Scripture in Proverbs says that in one hand is riches and honor and the other hand long life.

We were on vacation this last week only to come home and find out a friend has died. We didn't know him well he was someone we bought supplies from. A very good man that we always enjoyed visiting with. Let me tell you this though it wasn't his time to go. He was in good health not overweight but the thief that comes to kill, to steal and to destroy attacked his body and he was gone. They might of been able to save him but couldn't do surgery because his blood pressure was to high.

I pray all of you know Jesus as your Saviour. The devil doesn't care who you are. He hates you and hates you even more if you love God. He will attack you any chance he gets. If you are a Christian believing in the blood of Jesus we have promises from the Word. In Psalms 91 it also says that God gives His angels charge concerning us to keep us safe in every way. You have to believe that though.

I know about those angels. The devil has tried to kill me more than once. I believe Psalm 91 so I believe that I have angels around me 24/7. My family also is well protected with angels.  On our way home from vacation we were just driving along when a semi wanted our lane. There was a car on one side of us and a semi on the other. The angels were present and all was well.

 Is Jesus your Saviour? He is coming soon but before He comes this world is going to get worse. Accept Him today. He died for you and loves you very much.

Blessing over you

This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it. For some of us that isn't always easy. Rejoicing in the midst of whatever storm we might be going through. If we are in the midst of a storm that is exactly what we should be doing.

Rejoicing will always bring results. We can never change our circumstances only God can. So when we get all upset about whatever is going on in our lives it changes nothing. God will change every circumstance if we allow Him. I have said it before what are you saying? Our words are so very important. The Bible says we have the power of life and death in our tongue. So in the midst of a storm what are you saying? Think hard about it. Our enemy the devil just wants to kill, to steal and to destroy us as Jesus says in John 10:10. Sometimes the enemy stealing is self inflicted by our own mouth. Don't say what the storm is say just the opposite.

If the devil is attacking you in your health say what God says. By the stripes of Jesus I am healed!  If it's financial say my God supplies all my needs. If it is fear say God has not given me a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind. Find your promise for whatever you are going through and line your words up with the Scripture.

My husband and I are on vacation. Yesterday as we are driving the devil came with his package that he wanted me to sign for. No way! That is when your words better line up with God's words so you can have the victory. I prayed and spoke good words then I just started praising God by singing songs. It wasn't long and I was feeling better. The word works in every situation. Our flesh doesn't always want to praise but we must get the Word out for our victory to come.

When my children were growing up sometime they came to me in the morning before school and told me they didn't feel well. I always told them to get ready for school but if after they were ready they still didn't feel well they could stay home. Most of the time after they were ready they ended up going to school because once they were up and doing something they felt better. The devil loves to see us down so when we give into a attack on our body and just lie around feeling sorry for our self we will not get the victory we need. We all need couch days but not because we are sick.

So what is your storm? I pray that you are blessed Spiritually, physically and financially. I pray that all your needs are met according to God's riches in Christ Jesus. I pray that you know that sickness and disease comes right from the pit of hell and stand on the fact that Jesus went to the cross just for that. I pray that every Christian knows that Jesus wasn't poor and we don't have to be either. So many promises in the Word about provision we should never go without.

Don't be in the dark about what Jesus did for you on the cross. Darkness is from hell. When you are afraid of the dark what do you do? You turn on the light. Jesus is our light turn Him on. Speak boldly to your situation and see God work results.

I pray you have every need met today. You need to make Jesus your Saviour if you haven't already. That is what is required of you in order to enter Heaven when your life here is over. It's a shame but allot of Christian's stop there yet there is so much more Jesus died to give us. Get your Bible out and find out what God says about your situations.

So this is the day the Lord has made rejoice and be glad in it. God loves you, Jesus died for you and the Holy Spirit was sent to help you, guide you and to comfort you. Reach out to Him today He is waiting to reach out to you.

So when someone says to you how are you? Instead of telling them how you really are how about saying I am blessed beyond measure. If any of you listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio when someone says to him how are you his reply is better than I deserve. He is a Christian that knows what God has given him. Be blessed!

Hidden Wealth

Isaiah 45:3 - And I will give you the treasure of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places in order that you may know that it is I the Lord God of Israel who calls you by your name.

Another translation says I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord the God of Israel, who summons you by name.

As Christians do we believe what that says? Some of us do. Others think that God wants us to be poor or barely getting by in this world. How that must hurt God's heart when we don't take what He wants to give us.  

I hear people say it isn't all about money.  Yes it is. Take a married couple for example that never has enough money. What happens? Stress, fighting and maybe divorce. That can't be God's will since He said that He hates divorce. We will always need money to live on this earth and much more than we needed before.

There are so many Scriptures that speak of God's faithfulness to us when we are faithful to Him.

Without money how would we preach the gospel? We wouldn't. How would churches make it? Without money we would have to live sponging off of everybody else.

God's prosperity starts with tithing. Ten percent isn't really allot when you look at it. It is only ten cents on every dollar. Our paychecks for example are many one dollar bills so it just looks like a lot more. It is still just ten cents on every dollar. That is all God wants back from us. He gave us the ninety percent to spend.

We need to all be tither's in this day and age. We have the promise from Malachi that after we tithe God will open the windows of heaven and pour us blessing we don't even have room to contain. He goes on to say He will rebuke the devour for our sake.

We have to start somewhere and tithing is a good place to start. Then there are offerings to give. One of promises that follow is: Give and it shall be given onto you good measure, pressed down shaken together will man give onto you.

Man will give onto you. The word says that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous. Who is righteous? We are if we made Jesus our Saviour.

I looked up some of the definition's for the words in that Scripture. Here is what I found.

The definition of treasure is money, jewels or precious metals stored up or hoarded. Something of great worth or value. A collection of precious things. A person esteemed as rare or precious.

The definition of wealth is abundance of valuable material possessions or resources. Abundant supply.
Abundance of valuable material possessions or resources.

Abundance means a large amount of something, an abundant amount of something. Some synonyms for abundance are: barrel, basketful, heap, multiplicity, plenitude, ton and truckload.

Hidden means being out of sight or not readily apparent. Concealed.

Secret means kept from knowledge or view.

Hidden wealth of secret places. Psalm 91 verse 1 talks about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High God. The meaning of dwell is to live as a resident. We are residents of the Most High God. Our home is with Him when we leave this earth. Heaven has a street of gold. There is wealth there. Since we have never seen the wealth in Heaven it is hidden to us. The same God has hidden wealth for us on this earth.

Ever notice how when you are praying for something and after you get done you also think you know how God will bring it in for you? Notice that He doesn't bring it the way you thought. He brings it in a whole different way. He does it His way. Hidden Wealth in secret places.

I have a home business that I am so glad God didn't hide from me. It's wonderful. We have a Godly president of the company. He started this business not because he needed the money but because he wanted to help others make it in this world. I intend to be a millionaire in this business. Why? So I can always have money to help others. That should always be our heart.

Everybody needs to have there own business. In this one I market for things all of us are already using. No change in buying habits. I would love to give more info so email me if you are serious about changing your family finances. (email at the top of page) The only person that gets rich at your job is your boss. Owning your own business means owning your time.

I don't know about you but I am about to have the wealth in hidden places.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you Discipline

I like listening to Joyce Meyers. She is so good and so down to earth. She says that you can't stand on faith for big things when you don't even have faith over the little things like dirty dishes in the sink.

She is right. In this world we need discipline more than ever. The Bible also says that a lazy man shouldn't eat.

Lazy and discipline go together. Are you lazy or are you undisciplined? In this world we need to be disciplined so we are not lazy.

How can we ask God for other things when we can't believe Him to help us to get our house cleaned. God gave us our home's. If we don't take care of them why should He give us anything else.

I am a very organized person. I want everything to have it's own place. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think I go as overboard with organizing like I use to. Also organizing things comfort me. My husband spends time in the basement when he needs to unwind. He makes things from wood. That works for him for me I just find some area in the house and reorganize it. It's like eating comfort food with no taste or calories.

So getting back to the question. Are you unorganized because your lazy? Do something about it. Clean your room while organizing what has to be organized. Paint that kitchen where the paint is peeling. Mow that hay field you call a yard. Whatever it takes just do it then you will be ready to go to God and ask for the bigger things.

God says when He can trust you over the little things He will set you over bigger things.

Start this new day the right way TGIF Today God is First. When we put Him first He will put us first. When we show Him our disciplined lives He will be able to move on our behalf. Trust Him today you might be surprised!

Authority

On the authority of the Holy Word I rise up and take my stand. I'm a blood bought child of the Living God who is the Great I am. I'm an heir to all that heaven holds and no principality can ever take away my royal crown given on His authority. The words come from Suzanne Jennings and Bill Gaither. Actually they come from the Bible but Suzanne and Bill put them in a song. Google the song you will love it. The name of it is On the Authority. Bill Gaither did the music for it.

 Powerful and true are those words. We need to always rise up against the schemes of the devil with the Word of God. Remind him that you are blood bought and he will not harass you in any way. Remind him for example that those are your children given to you by God and he can't have them. If your body needs healing remind him that by Jesus stripes you are healed. He has to listen to that name of Jesus. The Bible says every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. That includes the devil. Don't wait until glory to have victory have it now.

God is bigger than anything we will ever go through on this earth. When you said the sinners prayer and made Jesus your Saviour if you stopped there it isn't enough. You have to receive Him as your Lord also. Make Him Lord of everything in your life. Put Him in charge. You will see results.

Heirs to the Kingdom of God. Isn't that cool? Anything in heaven we can have on earth. Street of gold, pearly gates, no want, no tears, no lack. That's all waiting for us someday. Let's believe and take all that right now. God wants to give it to us.

Don't let the devil steal from you. Demand it back in Jesus name.

I pray God will open your eyes to all that Jesus died to give you. Be blessed!

Kill, Steal & Destroy

John 10:10 says the thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I (Jesus) came that they might have life, and might have it more abundantly.

1 Peter 5:8
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Don't let it be you roar back at him in Jesus name.

In this life we will be attacked. The Bible tells us so. We have authority to overcome it in Jesus name. Actually if you are being attacked that tells you the devil is mad because you are living for God. Don't worry though God is bigger than him and the victory and testimony is yours.

We will always win the battle. The battle belongs to the Lord. Don't give the devil an open door for attack. Make sure you are living for God and doing His will. Don't chum with the wrong people, watch the wrong movies, go to the wrong places.

We can't chum with the whole world. We aren't meant to do everything this world offer to us. I believe some things are just meant for us not to touch. When we don't follow God we open the door for the devil's attacks. Proverbs says that a bad friend corrupts good morals. I taught that to my kids but it holds true for everyone young and older. If we are hanging with the wrong people doing the wrong things we will get into trouble. When we are spending times with the wrong people the ones that we should be with encouraging are left behind.

So don't let the devil come your way to steal, kill or destroy. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and you can't go wrong.

While my children were growing up I had to forbid certain activities and friends. I don't for one minute regret how I raised my children. The little things that we think aren't important or don't matter really do.

For example one of my daughters use to spend some time in the summer with my sister. In that town was a restaurant they went to often. I was in that restaurant once and the hair on my arm stood up. I knew that some of their decorations or beliefs were evil. I always let her go stay with my sister but told her she wasn't allowed in that restaurant. Did she listen to me? Yes she did.

With the same sister my daughter would go to Great America. A theme park in IL. She had permission from me to go but she was told not to go on any rides that had the name devil in them. We think things like that don't matter. I believe they do.

We have to be parents to our children not friends. God put them in our care and He is their to help train them if we ask. Proverbs says to train them in the way they should go and they will not depart from it when they are older.

The second part of the Scripture John 10:10 Jesus says that we might have life and might have it more abundantly.

That word might say’s to me we have a choice to chose life. It also says that after we choose life we also have the choice to choose to have that life more abundantly.

It is our choice if we are going to take God at His word. Are we going to walk in everything God gave us? If we don't walk in it we are taking Jesus name in vain. Salvation, healing, prosperity and victory belong to us.

Jesus died a horrible death on the cross for all of us to have abundant life.

Abundantly means: In large quantities, rich, abounding with, marked with great plenty, amply supplied, occurring in abundance.

Abundance means: wealth, relative degree of plentifulness.

We need to accept the whole package in order to live abundantly on this earth.

The bible says that all our sins are forgiven and forgotten. We are saved by grace through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God. That gives us abundant life.

We are healed by Jesus stripes. The victory belongs to us before the devil tries anything. That gives us abundant life.

Ps 112:3 Wealth and riches are in our home. We have prosperity in this world. The wealth of the wicked is laid up for us. That gives us the abundant life. Don't be one of those Christians that think God doesn't have wealth for us. How can we help others if we don't have wealth?

We have authority over the devil that gives us life abundantly.

We have the favor of the Lord that gives us life abundantly.

We have the authority to lose and bind on this earth that gives us life abundantly.

The victory always belongs to believers that gives us life abundantly.

So when the devil steals from us we have to demand it back. The bible says in Proverbs 6:31 but when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house. Let’s demand everything he owes us back in Jesus name.

Let's remember to do what Eph. 6 tells us to do. Put on the full armor of God. (If you look at the blogs from 2010 and find Aug. 26 you will find a very good confession on the armour of God. Or you can just put armour in the search box at the top).


Be Blessed we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

Praise!

Praise Him in the morning and praise Him in the evening. The Bible instructs us to do that. It isn't hard when you know how much He loves all of us.

He will never leave us or forsake us. What a promise. The Holy Spirit is always there to lead us, guide us, comfort us and protect us.

I pray for every person reading this. I pray that you all know the difference between Jesus being your Saviour and Jesus being your Lord. To enter in the gates of heaven you just have to know the Saviour part. Jesus died for your sins. Take it one step further and make Him Lord. Lord of everything in your life. Look to Him for everything you will ever need.

God wants to give us His best. We have to reach out and take it.

Have the best day and be blessed coming in and be blessed going out.
