To The Person That Pick-Pocketed At That Large Event. You Are The One That Stole The I-Phone & Wallet. Did You Know That Jesus Died So You Could Be Forgiven. Just Ask Him & Then Change Your Ways.

I wrote this just as the new day was starting but held off in publishing it until now. I now know why that happened, one of the scripture verses I read a few moments ago is to be added to this. God is great and greatly to be praised because He knew all along that I was going to read this scripture today and it will tie in all that I am writing about in this blog. Give thanks to God for He truly is great.
Hebrews 1: 1-4
"In the past God spoke to our ancestors at many different times and in many different ways through the prophets. In these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. God made his Son responsible for everything. His Son is the one through whom God made the universe. His son is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of God's being. He holds everything together through his powerful words. After he had cleansed people of their sins, he received the highest position, the one next to the Father in heaven."
This happened to someone I know. This is also a testimony to the power of praying for those God has you pray for. When one is raised in a small town atmosphere and then moves to a large metropolitan area you may find yourself being overly trusting of others and your guard may be let down at times.
So, you are with your friends and then you get separated from them and realize that someone stole your phone and your wallet too. How do you connect with them to meet up again with them so you can go home? You cannot when there are thousands of people at the event you are at. What does one do? I suppose you begin walking in hopes that you will get home eventually. This is where the testimony comes in...I pray a certain prayer daily and I was able to see that the favor of God was with this person on their journey home. Truly, God's favor was with them. They walked for about 30 minutes in an area of town that I have been in before and lock my car doors even in daylight when I was in this area. This person walked in this area and no harm came to them at all. Let me tell you more about the favor of God. They get to a bus stop and the bus driver lets them on the bus after they explain what happened to them without having any money on them to pay the fare. They are dropped off closer to their home and then this person hails a cab and explains the story to them also. The cab driver actually let's them use their cellphone to place a call and trusted them that they would pay them for the fare once they got home.
That is the favor of God and protection of God too. Living in a larger metropolitan area you always hear stories on the news of someone getting robbed or held up at gun point. God took exceptional care of this person and all the thanksgiving and glory goes directly to God. Thank you God, a million thanks to you. I also in advance thank you a million thanks for the one that reads this and turns their heart to you and invites Jesus into their heart to change their ways and will live with you in eternity forever. I have the faith to believe that Holy Spirit has me writing this very moment in time to reach out to the lost and miserable. Know that Jesus loves you and if you would just ask Him to forgive your sins and you have sincerity in your heart when you ask He will do that for you, He really will. When I prayed and asked Jesus into my heart He forgave me of my sins. Even now, if I sin I ask Him for His forgiveness and He forgives me.
Why keep that sin and guilt inside of you when He died on a cross and three days later He rose from the dead and He is alive right now? Ask Jesus to first forgive your sins. Acknowledge that you are a sinner He already knows that since He is God right? Let Him forgive you. Then acknowledge that He is real and alive and that He did die on a cross and three days later He did come back to life when He rose from the dead. He came to the earth just to sacrifice His life so you could have eternal life with Him in heaven for all eternity. So you (if you choose this) do not have to live for all eternity in hell. Calm yourself and take a deep breath and then ask Jesus to come into your heart and be the Lord of your life. You must realize that eternal life in heaven is not by what you can or could do but it is through Jesus coming and taking away your sins so you may have life with Him forever. I trust you are being sincere with this prayer and if you are Jesus will hear that prayer. Speak from your heart to Him and He will listen and respond. Did you know that the moment in which you invite Jesus into your heart all the angels in heaven listen to this prayer. Isn't that amazing that they listen to hear your very prayer. The bible also states that the moment you pray the prayer your name is then recorded in The Lamb's Book of Life. The decision you just made will be the best decision of your life. May I suggest that you tell someone that you gave your heart to the Lord. May I also suggest to you that getting a bible and reading one chapter a day starting with the New Testament will be a tremendous help to you. By reading this you will get to know Jesus and about His life and what He did while He was here living here on earth. Congratulations.
PS: After the fact, we prayed together so no anger would come into their heart and open the door to the enemy and for them to also forgive them. I also reminded them that Jesus died on the cross not just for us but for this person too, He did not want them to live in hell for all eternity. Never be ashamed to pray with someone when Holy Spirit is nudging you to do so and the other person is willing for you to pray with them. That is the safest place to be, trusting in Holy Spirit to guide your steps.
PSS: One more thought on this subject. Thank you Lord for the people you put in this person's path to allow them to get home safely. I ask you to bless them in a mighty way for their kindness. If they do not already know You Jesus may they have the opportunity presented to them to meet you and if they already know You may they receive a double blessing for extending a Christian helping hand out to one in need. You truly are awesome Lord and I give thanks in my heart that you are in my heart.

I Am Learning So Much Reading Through The Bible, A Chapter Out Of 6 Different Sections Each Day. Holy Spirit You Are Amazing!!!

My bible is truly coming to life in me as I read from it via the suggestion from the former missionary. Thank you Holy Spirit for placing this person before me the day that they showed up. You continue to amaze me so much Holy Spirit as you continue to give me divine revelation as I read through the bible this time. Some of the revelation is in the form of being practical but other revelation is a deep insight to me and it allows me to then pray in a different manner of prayer. I am able to target and zone in on things in a deeper way. You truly do amaze me Holy Spirit. I am not ashamed to honor you and give thanks to you for all the world to read for you are great and glorious and I will sing praises to God throughout the ages.
I have read scripture verses many times throughout the years and probably seen or read some of them many times too. Why was it not until today that I realized that the Psalms are actually divided into 5 books. Did you know that? Some of you probably do know that. For those of you that did not have knowledge of this before today this is the break down: #1 Psalms 1-41; #2 Psalms 42-72; #3 Psalms 73-89; #4 Psalms 90-106; #5 Psalms 107-150. I guess today was the day I paid attention because I just realized this as I was about to start reading book #5. Why did I not pay attention to this prior to today? I guess today was the day I was to catch the revelation.
As I was walking this morning I was talking silently with Holy Spirit to contemplate what I would write about today. Now, this was prior to reading the bible and catching that revelation too. I was thinking about a situation and how someone said they were going to do something and never followed through on it. That can become frustrating if you allow it to do that to you. I then thought about my own life and asked forgiveness of God if I said I was going to do something and I did not follow through. It is funny how one minute you could be thinking about a short coming of another person and Holy Spirit will cause you tho think about short comings in your own life. I am so glad Holy Spirit is there to bring remembrance to our memory so we can have the opportunity to ask forgiveness of the things that need to be asked forgiveness in our own very life and turn around the pointing of the finger in another persons life. Thank you Holy Spirit.
So I am walking and I get an acronym to describe the word LIAR.
This is what I am shown and then after reading scripture I looked up the definitions to bring greater clarification to the meaning shown to me.

Letting
Inappropriate
Associations
Reign

The definition of inappropriate means not suitable or proper in the circumstances. Unsuitable or improper.
The definition of associations means a connection or cooperative link between people or organizations. A group of people organized for a joint purpose.

I will leave the rest up to you to figure out the connection to the word liar. You probably made the connection that hanging around with inappropriate associates can cause one to lie. You do become like those you allow to enter into your life and hang around with, be it good influences or bad influences. Who are you hanging around with these days?

So I finish this research and oddly enough many weeks ago I did a search on the words "bottomless pit." In reference to its meaning in the bible. I had this piece of paper in my bible and that is what I used to jot down the other definitions. I will share with you what I found when I researched the bottomless pit weeks ago but now I will first share with you what definition I found today. Bottomless pit is something that drains all one's energy or resources. Are you hanging around with people that can cause this to happen in your very life?

I Google searched bottomless pit weeks ago and came across a Christian website and these are the notes as I jotted them down back then. I will put them is quotation marks but I did not write down the source, so sorry for that. Back when I researched this I thought I was just getting the info for my own knowledge, never did I dream that I would be sharing it will all of you.
"Bottomless Pit: Immeasurable depth bottomless pit of Revelation 9:1-12 holds a unique type of demons/home of the beast who makes war against the 2 witnesses at beginning of millennial kingdom-the bottomless pit is where satan is bound it refers to the place where angels who sinned are reserved in chains of darkness for judgement. The same angels who abandoned their own home. God uses it as a holding place for the most evil of angels, including satan himself and those who tried and failed before the flood to thwart God's plan to bring the seed of the woman into the world. The inhabitants of the abyss are released for a very short time during the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation to fulfill God's purpose namely, to torment the wicked. These prisoners of the bottomless pit hate humanity and seek to destroy them, but God controls their terror and limits their power."

Well, that must have been for some one's knowledge that may have been seeking Holy Spirit about that subject. I encourage you to pick up the bible and read from it and you will glean so much if you allow Holy Spirit to share with you. One more thing, you will not receive this knowledge without being a "born again" believer in Jesus Christ. You see, the light is not shed abroad on you if you do not know Him as your personal Lord and Savior. Want to know Him? Let me share with you how you can become a believer. All you have to do is confess that Jesus came into the world via the virgin birth, He walked and lived on the earth for a season, he performed miracles and healed many and set them free from the bondage of satan and evil spirits and then He died on the cross. He then rose from the dead three days later and came back to life and He is still alive right now. He is waiting for you to ask Him into your heart. Why not accept the invitation? That was the best thing I ever did in my life, was to invite Jesus into my heart and forgive my sins and make me a new creature a new creation. Just quiet yourself and ask Jesus to forgive your sins, you must first be willing to admit to yourself that you are a sinner. A sinner is a sinner no matter what degree the sin is. Did you ever lie, including those white lies that you may have been taught were really not lies. Listen, a lie is a lie is a lie. You cannot sugar coat it to not make it a lie right? Then acknowledge that Jesus did die on the cross and shed His blood so you could have life in Him not just today but for all eternity. It is not by any works that you did perform or could ever perform it is by what He did to set you free. You will be with Him for all eternity in heaven. Thank Him for that and ask Him into your heart. He will come to you and He is waiting for you to ask Him into your life.
Enjoy your day today and the start of your new life in Christ Jesus. PS:  welcome to the "born again" family of God.

Look What I Saw Today

I was blessed to be able to see this series of views as I was reading the bible today. I captured the different phases as the sun rose. How can anyone ever even question when looking at the sun rising in the sky that God is God and He creates such beauty for us to enjoy.
Do you ever look into the sky and admire God's handiwork? I do and I am most thankful that He allows the viewer to enjoy His creations.

Eileen Fisher: "Ask Me to Come into Turbulent Situations"

Eileen Fisher:"Ask Me to Come into Turbulent Situations"The following corporate prophetic word was given by Eileen Fisher on July 30, 2013 during her weekly Prophetic School of the Holy Spirit meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado:




"Will You Let My Peace Have Its Work?"



I hear the Lord saying, "My peace I give unto you. I give it to you. Will you receive it? Will you let it melt away every worry, every fear, and every stress? Will you let My peace come in, to pour over you oil of healing – into your mind, into your bodies, into your spirits, into your souls?



"Will you let My peace open and close doors? For even when a door is slammed in your face, will you step back in grace, and say, 'I thank You, Lord, for Your peace that leads me'?



"Will you let My peace have its work? Will you let My peace complete what it was told to do? For I am called the 'Prince of Peace,' and when you encounter the peace, you are encountering the 'Prince of Peace.'



"Ask Me to come into turbulent situations. Let Me come and still those storms, just as I brought My peace in the middle of the night, when there were storms bringing a tossing about. One was tossed this way; one was tossed the other way; one was fearful, crying out. And yet I slept, for I knew that I was in my Father's arms, resting on His lap. (Photo courtesy: MyBible.com)



"I would ask you to learn this lesson well. When turbulence is all around you, and when the no's become the yes's that you do not want to hear, and the yes's become the no's that you do not want to hear, you stand in peace and say, 'I surrender unto You, Lord.'



Conquer Turbulence



"Have a heart of submission. Have the will of submission. Learn not to be at war with My will, nor My timing, nor with My ways. But live with peace, and let no man rob your peace. Let them not enter in to your territory, and steal your peace, and bring their turbulence. Instead, let your peace conquer their turbulence.



"For many of you are like My ships that I send out among the waters that are turning, and twisting, and casting My people this way and that way. And there is no direction, and the night is dark, and they do not see the stars, even for guidance. And I send you in with My peace – to speak My stillness – to where they can hear My Spirit.



"You cannot hear My Spirit in turbulence, only if you strain, but I do not want you to strain. I want you to be still, and become familiar with My peace. For the enemy knows not peace. He cannot counterfeit My peace. He cannot touch My peace, for I took the victory over peace.



"When I was declared the 'Prince of Peace,' I own peace. Let My peace own you. Speak it into your household. Speak it against fear, and stress, and worry. Speak it over your bodies, into your minds. Let My peace be the ruler of your soul. Let My peace be the ruler of decisions.



"Be not fearful when I give you a check in your spirit. See that as if I have sent a storm to say, 'Be still and wait.' Do not fight My peace, but let My peace embrace you.



"Understand, every time My peace takes more territory in your life, you become more in My territory. Let Me own your turbulence. And I want you to own My peace.



"Embrace My Son, the Prince of Peace"



"Claim peace – peace with those around you, but even far greater, peace within yourself. Make peace with yourself, so that you can recognize the visitation of My peace that is upon you. For My Son was the peacemaker, My Son was the offering of eternal peace. Enter in to His work on the Cross. Partake of the peace that He died for. He died that you could live in His peace.



"Once again I say, 'My peace I offer to you.' I extend My hand of peace. Not flippantly, not without realizing the value and the cost. For within that hand, I offer you back My Son. And I say, 'Take My Son. Embrace My Son, the Prince of Peace.'



"Be not fearful, but let Him embrace you fully, just as I embraced My own in the storm. Let Him embrace you in your storm. And you will come to know Him, too, not only as Redeemer, as Savior, as King of kings, Lord of Lords, Healer, and Deliverer, but you will come to know Him and claim His dominion as, 'The Prince of Peace, Him whom you bow your knee to, and Him whom holds My hand within His hand. And He in turn will devour My turbulence, and in exchange, I will be melted away in His peace.' Choose My peace," says the Lord your God.



The following corporate prophetic word was given by Eileen Fisher on August 13, 2013 during her weekly Prophetic School of the Holy Spirit meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado:



"I Put Upon Your Head Dignity, Honor, Strength, and For Some, Understanding"



I hear the Lord say, "Lift Me up. When I am lifted up and when I am exalted, then everything else will rest under My feet. For I said in My Word that the earth is My footstool.



"Know I can change all things in an instant. I change evil to good, weakness to strength, sickness to health, death to life, fear to faith, sorrow to joy. For with Me all things are possible. Allow My Spirit to hover. Allow My Spirit to go into your heart, to where there has been pain, rejection, abandonment and fear; where there is such confusion, that you are exhausted from trying to figure your own way out of the jungle.



"For I am not only the God that makes a way where there is no way, but I am the way. I will come with the sword of My Spirit when you are too tired, and I will cut a pathway. I will say, 'Rise up on the wings of an eagle.' And let My Spirit come and rise under the eagle, for you will have the peace of My Spirit, and you will have the strength of an eagle. You will have the sight of the eagle, but the gentleness of a dove. I am not the author of confusion, or pain, but I am the Author of love and gain.



"Forgive those who have wronged you. Let no man, and I say again, no man, no organization, no past, no present, no future – hold the key that would hold you back. Give Me back the key. And do not return to the prison of shame, or regret, or the what if's, but hold your head in dignity. Practice this.



"Learn to walk as I've created you to walk – with your head held high, with respect, with dignity, with honor. For tonight I put upon your head dignity, honor, strength, and for some, understanding. You don't even know the questions, for the answers I want to give you.



"Let My peace come. Let My peace settle down the storm. Let My peace draw you unto Myself, and let My peace be the covering over you. For did I not say I have sent you, and left you, My Comforter. He is My blanket. Let Him comfort you. Let Him comfort you. Let Him cover you. Let Him be the One that fluffs the pillows and gives you the dreams of My Spirit. Let Him be the One that sits with you to be the Comforter, so you feel warm and safe and secure. And let Him be the One that causes you to rise up; and tells you when to rise.



"For as you learn to rest, you will watch the test pass away, and you will watch the rest sustain you. For in My rest, there is strength," says the Lord your God, "Rest in My way."

I Miss The "Summer" Coke Ad, Do Not Like The Diet Coke Billboard Signs. You Decide. Lexus So Glad To See Inviting Billboards Around Town Again. The "Live" Billboard People Were On The Bridge The Other Day Sharing Their Message, Found A 3rd Favorite Song Too.

Well, I sure do miss the "Summer is Open" billboard signs for Coke. They were replaced with the new Diet Coke billboards. This puzzles me a bit since Coke Zero is the popular soda drink of choice. Maybe they are targeting people to get their sales up in Diet Coke. From the picture you will see that it is not the easiest sign to read.

Lexus, on the other hand, also used the color white but used it to stand out in their billboard sign. I so love their billboard campaign ads when they bring the car to you on the billboard. It makes you want to go and check out that car doesn't it? What do you think?



Last week the "Live" billboard people were out on the bridge again during the morning traffic sharing their message with the passer-byes (probably not a proper word but I like the way it sounds.) They really do want to get their message out there don't they?

I played the Chris Tomlin CD again today and found my third favorite song, Jesus Son Of God.

My 2 New Favorite Worship Songs

Are you thankful that God saved you? I am. The best part of the first song is about 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the song. At that point turn up the volume and listen to the music. The louder the volume the better it sounds. This is my new favorite song in which I have "repeat" set in my car when I listen to this. The presence of God is real, listen to this and invite Holy Spirit to join you.

My second favorite song on this CD is  Crown Him (Majesty)

New Recipe (I recently tried): Ricotta & Squash Galette. I Made It Twice & It Is Excellent Why Not Try It Today?

I was waiting for an appointment and reading a magazine while I was waiting. I saw an interesting recipe and so I took a picture of it. That is what I am sharing with you today. I will post the picture I took of the recipe for you to enjoy. I have made this twice so far. I did adjust it a bit. One one side I add chopped jalapeno peppers (fresh picked from a plant on my patio). The fresh dill also comes from one of the plants on the patio too. I even planted (in pots) plum tomatoes and cherry tomatoes too and I enjoy picking the harvest as they ripen. There is just something "great tasting" when you plant vegetables and then the harvesting of them. Tomatoes just taste better when you do the work for the fruit to come forth do you agree?
The second time I made this recipe I also added cooked crumbled sausage to it. It enhanced the flavor too. This is a great meal and all you need to add to it is a refreshing side salad. I made a salad of fresh (pickle size) cucumbers (peeled and thinly sliced) and tomatoes (from a local farmer) with vidalia onions and I had a little bit of avocado I chopped up. I then seasoned it with garlic salt and pepper and then olive oil and white wine vinegar. I then add to it fresh picked chives (that I grow.) Good dinner.  I did go to a local farmer and that is where I bought the squash for this meal. If you are in an area that allows you to support the local farmers why not bless them and then you will be blessed also from the fruit of their labor when they planted, tended the garden and then harvested the fruit of their labor.
I also made brownies too. I like to add chocolate chunks to the mix and it seems to make them more rich after they are baked. I then made a cocoa butter cream frosting and then I decorated a few pieces with peanut butter malted milk ball candy. Have you ever tried one? I also like to make a trip to a local Amish goods store on occasion. They purchase in bulk and then package items for you to purchase. Think of it like this...in you mind envision a malted milk ball. Do you have that image in your mind right now? Great, now if I were to cut one in half this is what you would see: malted milk in the center then surrounded by peanut butter and then coated in milk chocolate. They appear to be larger in size than the standard malted milk ball candy.
