Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat, sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Hebrews 12:16-17 I was that profane fornicator. I would do anything for the love of a man back in the day. And that day was not so long ago. I thought that I knew all the ways to convince a guy to marry me- to want to be with me forever. I let them live with me in my home, bought them things (cell phones, cars, shoes, dinners, whatever) and played house with 2 guys so long, that I actually THOUGHT we were married (if you can imagine). Fifteen years with one, 20...

This I have learned...I can never learn enough of God's unconditional love. For each day, is a learning day...and each day is presented with a new challenge in the restlessness all around. It is not easy, and of long ago... this was made known...seeing and hearing many things of many...this I know...I must keep a close consciousness of God's Presence, to help and guide my thoughts and actions in every day events, for I too am weak, but rest assured...with His Presence, I am allowed the strength and courage to overcome and deal with many obstacles' each day...believe it. For not keeping close to His Presence...can become overwhelming despair and misery for those that know not...for there lies the burden...of knowing those close...

As I stood in an all but empty apartment this morning, I realized, yet again, just how blessed I truly am: 1) I wasn't involved in the violent domestic altercation in this apartment complex this morning that required at least 10 police officers. Thank You (LORD I ask you for salvation and restoration for those injured souls) 2) My lights have been turned off, but, I was able to get dressed and apply my makeup by the natural light that YOU provide. Thank You 3) I've been stripped of just about everything, but I can still rest on the floor. Thank You 4) I don't have use of a car right now, but, I do have use of my legs and feet. . . bless all the people who offered me a ride. Thank You 5) A church in walking distance. Thank You 6)...

An act of faith shall be in prayer, for prayer being a demonstration of a dependence upon God, ever-mindful...prayer without ACTION... shall be useless. For of the gifts, but not putting them forth are to be evidence of having no faith...for one cannot be idle...for the journey requires sacrifices and hard work...make no mistake! To pacify ones self in believing otherwise...one can expect only as much as one is willing to put forth. For does not God honor our faith, and the Divine Spirit of God shall be MOVED by ones faith... with ACTION! Know this and know it well. 'mirror, mirror on the wall...what is it that YOU see'... God love all that are 'close by'.

Back about a little over a year ago, when I was coming towards the place of knowing that I needed to surrender my whole life to Christ but being unwilling, this video really helped me: /> She is so joyful. I can attest to the truth in everything she said would happen because I have also come to the same conclusion that the heartbreak is worth it once you encounter Jesus. I personally had to give up a lot of things that I thought were my "identity," so that I could find out what He says about me. He loves us so much! If you are afraid of giving up things that you feel are your only source of comfort, don't be. If you truly seek Him, you will definitely find Him!

by ### It is not enough for us simply to believe in God as creator, the maker of all things. We also have to believe that He’s a God who yearns to do the impossible in our lives. The Bible makes it very clear: If we don’t believe this about Him, we don’t trust Him at all. In my opinion, no amount of counseling will do a person any good if he doubts God for a miracle. Don’t misunderstand— I am not against Christian counseling. But it is useless to counsel someone who is not fully convinced God can fix his problem, no matter what the problem may be. Couples must believe that God can save their relationship; otherwise, my counsel is in vain. Things may appear absolutely hopeless to them; they may have built up years of resentment and...

Making a choice...on worldly terms...or on God's terms. A disturbing illusion... living on God's terms, yet appeasing and yielding to the terms of the worldly community is a profound separation of grave consequences, as complacency has left a spiritual vacancy throughout the community, far and wide. Make no mistake, experience is a great teacher of life happening.

I have been attending bible study more often but sometimes I feel like I don't know enough to participate in the discussions. What are some of the most common scriptures that can help get me started and give me a better foundation? What are some of your favorite scriptures and why? PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT Thanks for your help

Why is it so difficult for Christians to discuss the deep spirit realm of GOD’s presence? I often want to tell people, particularly other Christians, about my face to face encounter with God. It seems like there is always an air of disbelief, especially if the person with whom you are sharing has not had a similar experience. This drives me crazy because I want to tell it to everybody, but I feel like I'm under some kind of vow of secrecy. MY ENCOUNTER: In June 2009, I saw God’s face in a vision; well, sort of. He appeared in the heavens. I could only view the outline of His features. It was as if His face was protruding through a snow white sheet of latex. It felt as though He had no race, yet embodied all races. His image filled the...
