Powerful words to behold...

(Matthew 15:13) “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.” When dealing with deep wounded hearts many people, most of us, want the pain gone any way we can get it. Heartache is not fun and many people reach out to something natural as a way of escape. Natural remedies, whether diving into shopping, or working more, gambling or drugs and alcohol, these things are only temporary and then the when the temporary relief wears off, the emotional pain returns. God, the creator of the heart is the only one who can heal the heart permanently. The heart remembers and all the emotional pain that is put upon you or that you choose to hold on to will not leave until you choose to get rid of...

In this Christmas season the world will try to invade our thoughts with it's commercialized view of Christmas. While we can take part, giving gifts let us remember the best gift of all the Jesus gave us, HIMSELF--Salvation. Greet the Christmas season in with joy and thanksgiving, remembering that Jesus is the reason for the season. I love the Christmas tree and try to relate everything on it to HIM. 1.Tree--He is the tree of life 2.Tree Trunk-Brown bark--Humanity--He came in the flesh to take back the keys and understand & help us in our weaknesses 3.Lights--He is the light of the world & in us lights up our spirit 4. Ornaments--Receiving His Holy Spirit--we receive the Fruit of the Spirit--changing...

MATHEW 25:35-36 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in. 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. As children of God we should live a life that is unselfish and purposeful, but many haven't learned the art of sowing into others lives as the scripture above speaks of. I've found that there are two types of people in this world, and they are givers or takers. The question is which one are you? Our prime example was Jesus who sowed His life for others, He was totally selfless. Jesus was always concerned about others and their needs. His life was intentional, He came into this world to make...

Dear God, I am writing You this letter to tell You that You are awesome. I cannot get over all of the marvelous things You have done for little ol' me. I was such a screw up but You didn't care. You loved me exactly the way I am. However, You did not like the fact that I was broken and messing up, so You have been healing and changing me. It is brilliant, God, to hear Your voice. It is brilliant when You tell me to stop destructive behaviors and to stop seeking things that hurt me. I had always thought that I was "not able to do school." Some times I still think that. I've had attention issues since elementary school and couldn't concentrate if I heard people moving in their chairs or the sound of pencils either writing or...

Hello Everyone, I'm not going to pretend that life isn't hard, depressing, or messy at times. I have had my share of each, and each day brings its own challenges and struggles. Often in these hard times the Devil tries to whisper small nothings in your ears that travels to your mind and infiltrate the way of thought. Once the negativity gets to the Brain we often start to really believe those things. We question whether God truly hears our prayers. Praying for the same things and more each and everyday. But for some reason God didn't answer yet. Our faith becomes weak, we feel beat down, and succumb to the hardship in life. But can I just tell you something? I have learn this as it is stated in 2 Peter 3 Verse 8 " A day is like a...

Let us forget not, as we go through each day.

"Refuse all refugees" ... "We must nuke ISIS!!!" What does this mean? When the Lord decided that despite the fact that our righteousness is but filthy rags, when He noticed our wickedness, He chose to suffer and die for us instead of destroying us in His wrath. Jesus told us that we must pick up our cross and follow Him. He told us that we must die to ourselves and the things of this Earth. Are we truly followers of Christ if we are not willing to love these people even though they might cause us harm. What if Jesus didn't die for us because He knew that we were going to spit on Him, reject Him, mock Him, torture Him? What if He changed His mind walking to Golgotha? What then? Jesus told us that we must love...

Dearest Loved Ones, Have you counted your blessings lately? Like that chinese food that came in freshly cooked and not burnt! You Should! I've read many requests of those troubled with problems and out of sorts. Many times it's simply a test. Need a way out of no way? One way to please God and do his will is to give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:18King James Version (KJV) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. There are just a number of things we can be thankful for. The forgiveness of your sins, the amazing grace of God, the promises he makes and fulfills, his power, his love, his protection...there is no end to his blessings! hallelujah! Yet..wait..there are so many...
