Here's An Idea ... Maybe Cut Funding To Illegals & Take That $ To Help Victims From The Helene Hurricane. Don't You Think That $ Is Better Spent Helping Them In Need Now.

We are a very generous nation, and our people need help now. People that live in our country legally, pay taxes, worked hard in their lifetime and possibly their retirement residences have been destroyed by the recent hurricane. I am thinking out loud again, but someone needs to. Why are we helping illegals flooding our country with cash payments, food assistance and God knows what else they are receiving. I see the devastation as JLR Investigates reports on the storm damages. When I view his reporting videos I can't help thinking that in some instances everything is gone for some people and families. Literally gone and how are they ever going to build back up again. Not very business owner had insurance, how are they going to build back that business. Hey, here is a novel idea, take back the freebies given to illegals and give them to our citizens in their time of need. This is a no brainer when you look at it. Why are our people not getting freebies but total strangers that are flooding our country illegally are diving in some instances nicer cars then we have. We made the car payments to pay off our vehicles and upkeep also of them and how are these indigent illegals affording nice cars to drive in. I was at a retail store last evening and I saw 2 males nonspeaking English people checking out with a cart full of clothing and paid it appeared to be crisp look 100.00 bills. I heard the one clerk say to the person checking them out there was no need to check the 100.00 bills to see if they were not counterfeit. The same woman waited on me and I said in a kind way that I sure hope my taxes were not paying for their purchase. I then asked the clerk if she ever worked overtime and she said yes so, I shared how a vote for Trump would mean no tax on overtime. I don't think she wanted to hear that. Why are clerks speaking in another language with customers why can't we all be privy to what they are saying for this is America and the last time I checked we speak English. Uh oh, I spoke out loud again. My foreign family learned the English language so why do we hear so many other languages out there. Do they not want to learn our language? Oh, guess how I paid for my purchase, I work and paid for it with my earnings.

Why do I have to watch JLR Investigates to get updates on this situation and the major news networks are not covering this. These people need help especially in North Carolina, who will help them.

Just Ordered Another Book

A friend I worked with @ 82 years old (may be 83 now) just wrote and had his memoirs published. Looking forward to receiving this book in the mail. See, not all books one reads must be by ministry authors. Good people living good Christian lives have stories to share also.

Ordered A New Book The Other Day, To Be Released In October.

I watched bits and pieces of the interview clips, and it compelled me to watch the entire interview. So glad I did, and I am posting it in the event you would like to watch this poignant, sincere interview. Does it amaze you how others do not show or extend kindness to this elegant, soft spoke First Lady. They only somehow seem to highlight and lift up maybe more boisterous First Lady's. Such a shame in my opinion.

You know, a family member said they thought my mother would have liked to have read this book. Way back before Yugoslavia was divided into individual countries I travelled there as a member of a Croatian tamburitza folk group. We took a ride in a small boat on the body of water with a tour guide showing us the beautiful Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. 

I like having a First Lady that emigrated from a country in which our family emigrated from at one time many years ago.  Never be ashamed of your family heritage because that is the very heritage God called you forth from when your mother and father came together, and the miracle of your birth came forth. From what I understand there was a Bishop in our family heritage years ago. Yes, the land of the old country is beautiful but so is the land in which I reside in, Land of the Free because of the Brave that fought to defend our country. Without those hero's would we have such a beautiful country? So much to be thankful of this very day. The breath of God breathed into me and I was born and introduced to this glorious life.

With me clearing out my ministry books in my library I found a useful purpose of 2 sets of the same book I had by 2 authors, Joan Hunter & James Goll. I needed to raise up the height of a television in 1 room and I used 1 of each book to place under the television to raise the height and it worked. Imagine that.

New Music CD I Purchased & I Love It.

Let me share 2 songs from this music CD that are blessing me immensely. The one song is mulling around in my mind as I write this. So thankful for music. Music lifts my soul no matter what is going on around you in the world. May you be blessed with this beautiful music and may it lift your soul also. 

The CD is by Misha Goetz, titled, "Weight of Glory". The song mulling around inside of me now is "Aaronic Benediction" with her father, Marty Goetz also singing with her in this song. The other song that touches my heart is "Mary's Song (Magnificat)" with Emmy Rose. Prior to this music CD it was an Anne Wilson song, "My Jesus". Did I tell you how important music can be in one's life.

President Trump, Still Praying For You Daily.

President Trump, please know that if I am praying for you daily then just imagine how many others are being faithful to pray for you also. Try to imagine that possibly people from all around the world are praying for you. God is good and He is most faithful. May I suggest an observation if I may ... people today don't want to hear about a missed opportunity in 2020, let that go and let bygones be bygones and focus on the today and now. Meaning to stay focused on the accomplishments of your prior administration and the plan in which you envision for the future of our country.

Don't Call It A Blessing When It Might Be A False Blessing In Disguise, May I Explain ...

I would like to share with you something that recently happened in my life. Nowadays people can and do label all sort of things under the title of "BLESSING" but is it truly? Let's look at this if I may okay.  It was a couple of weeks ago when I was getting the house ready to receive guests for dinner and a house guest coming for a short visit. I was at Hobby Lobby, and I saw a Fall themed outdoor welcome sort of mat that I thought would look nice, so I placed it in my cart to buy. I am at the checkout and see someone I used to work with checking out before me. I also noticed a whirly type of garden ornament that caught my attention in a cart near the register. Like a cart where customer items were placed to be put back on the selling floor because they decided to not purchase when in line paying for their purchases. The store clerk was in this rushy type of mode and didn't pay attention to what they were doing. Instead of actually scanning the bar code on the outdoor mat they just asked me is it the 11.99 or was it maybe 15.99 mat I had. Instead of taking that split second to actually ring it up with using the barcode even though I showed them it was 11.99 they did it their way. I also inquired of the whirly item and they replied it was 8.74 or something like that. I had been in search for one of those for several weeks then and I said to them what if it doesn't work well since it looked a little flimsy and they replied to me something to the affect for 8.74 are you really going to return it. It was the attitude and rushy type of mode that did not settle too well with me.

I am heading back home and happened to look at my receipt and discovered their rushy actions caused them to only ring up the mat for something like 1.19 and I think there might have been a discount on that too if I am not mistaken but do not recall because I no longer have the receipt. I call the store and ask to speak to the manager, and I do. I explained what happened and how it was rung up not correct. At this point I was not going to go back as I was heading home and asked if I could go to my local Hobby Lobby and pay the difference. They replied to not do that since each store has their own inventory and told me since it was the store error to just keep the mat, and the store will take the loss for being rung up incorrectly. They were going to speak with the clerk about the error and the attitude also, since I replied to the manager that that costs the store money as a loss.

I think nothing of it, and I guess you could call it a blessing right? How in reality can it be a blessing to one when another takes a loss on it, I am proposing that question to you. So, when I would be outside watering my flowers and would look at the mat it just never really registered to me as the 1.19 blessing mat. It was nice and all but not some spectacular print on the mat that would just wow you when looking at it though. It was this past weekend to go Saturday Holy Spirit begins to nudge me to go back to the actual store even though the tag is off, and I no longer have the receipt with me to make it right and pay the difference owed in money. I was asking Holy Spirit how I even begin to explain this odd transaction I am about to partake in. He is ever faithful, and I just asked to see a manager and explained what happened to me. We figured it out. so, the money was handed to me as a refund amount on the 1.19 mat and then they re-rung it up at 11.99 less 40% discount on Fall items and then I handed back the cash and added the difference to make the transaction completed. See, it must have been maybe 2 times throughout this transaction how I shared of how my walk with Jesus or my relationship with Him was much more important than getting a 1.19 mat. I was actually wearing the tee shirt I made with purchasing all items from Hobby Lobby at the time to make the tee shirt "JUSTICE FOR JEFF".

This store blessed me in allowing me to purchase the items needed to follow through with making the tee shirt Holy Spirit gave me the design for. You just never know when and where I will show up wearing this particular tee shirt to hopefully see justice revealed on what actually happened in the life of Jeff. You all are hearing a one-sided story in which the man-made appointed overseer to look into this story never reached out to people on the other side to hear their story is what is being shared with me, why is that? That is called unequal or biased justice in my opinion. Is there anyone out there that will research and investigate the full spectrum of this tragic story. A man's name/legacy is hanging in the balance here. Is there a Joshua Simone, Wake Up & Win podcast, Brother Elving, or Julie Roy's report out there that will take the time to delve into this for truth to be revealed and not just 1 sided story shared. I have spoken with some of these people that could be connector pieces to the puzzle and what they are saying and what they experienced is not quite lining up with the other side. Please do a deep dive look into this to settle it once and for all.

I met a friend at the cemetery this past Saturday and showed them the grave marker of Jeff and we sat for a couple of hours and talked on one of those nice marble benches nearby. We prayed a powerful prayer in agreement that either the people repent, and we truly would like to see true repentance, or the evidence be exposed/revealed. We locked hands and prayed this prayer right by Jeff's grave. We also prayed for healing to take place of the families that go to the cemetery to see the graves of those they buried there. We even saw a worker finding a place to place the flag for the next grave to be dug. It was a beautiful day weather wise and so much so I came home with a little bit of sunburn on the back of my neck from the sun. We also prayed for family salvations of those visiting this cemetery because the work of Jeff Jansen has not gone away because of the many souls that gave their hearts to Jesus when he did crusades, meetings, etc. Imagine this ... you are in heaven and each day possibly someone comes up to you to thank you for telling them about Jesus. In a split moment I saw it like this ... Jeff does not take the thank you but faces toward God Almighty to give the honor to Him. that was my experience. Then we talked briefly of how when the trump sounds and the eastern sky parts how the dead in Christ will rise and then us believers who are on earth will join them. How glorious, how glorious.

Do you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour today. It is a free gift freely given to you if you choose to accept it. Jesus came to this earth in the form of a baby and grew up and then was baptized by John the Baptist and Holy Spirit in the form of a dove was over Him and God said He was pleased with his Son. The ministry began and He chose to die a terrible death on a cross. He was mocked, spit upon and bore the sins of the world so if you would one day choose to give Him your life and heart you would be with Him in heaven and not hell for all eternity. Really, this is no game this is truth. All you have to do is come to Him with a sincere heart and ask Him to forgive you of all of your sins and He will with the precious blood He shed on the cross. Then invite Him into your heart and He will accept the invitation. You should then go and share with someone what you did and then start attending a true bible teaching church and find fellowship with other true Christians and if I may suggest for you to get a bible and start reading 1 chapter a day in the New Testament and you will surely get to know Jesus, the one you just gave your life to. Oh. possibly write down the day in which you said this heartfelt prayer, so you have it as your born-again date in time.

Folks, This Is Getting Very Interesting. Another Video To Share. The Truth Will Set You Free. Don't Succumb To Being Hoodwinked Anymore Okay.

My goodness, once again truth is exposing evidence. See, if you let a person talk long enough the truth somehow gets exposed. Isn't it a shame that we are even talking about this subject within the church! I really at times wonder what in the world heaven is thinking when they if they can see it what is going on in the church. In some instances, it makes you wonder why you fall for the tricks and antics of some ministries to hook you into donating to both their ministry and even in some instances, donating to their personal support. I can ask this because I have found myself as an innocent victim drawn into this very thing. When I look back now, I wonder to myself why did I succumb to these antics and make donations. Why do I feel this inside of me that one day one of these videos I have been sharing with you I may see some sort of exposure on that ministry. You know, with each passing day more and more are being exposed. I would like to think that maybe that will not happen, and the ministry is up and up above board in integrity. It does cause one to wonder though when you hear a ministry basically begging for money or they have to shut down the ministry and you wonder to yourself is there mismanagement in finances? There comes a time when God does extend grace and after so much time of this grace being extended the covers come off of the ministry or minister and the truth is then exposed. Please do not be naive though. This just doesn't happen without people or other ministers, family, friends, acquaintances Holy Spirit draws to send warnings to them. It is ultimately their choice though to receive the warnings being sent to them or reject them. We all have choices to make in life and I am being reminded right now of words my natural father shared with me years ago. Even if you only have a split second to make a choice to do or not do something, choose wisely. What really stood out was when he said to me that once you make the choice and do it there is no going back to undo it so choose wisely when you choose. Well, I guess I missed it in my choice of making donations to a ministry and I wish there was a way to request a refund for the last couple of years to be given back to me from the ministry. When I think about it, that could have been money better spent on my very own family. What in the world was I ever thinking.

May I propose to you to not be deceived by the ploys some ministries use to get you to fill their coffers.  I have heard of stories of how a ministry may tell you their account is empty with no money in it, and they may not make payroll or be able to keep the ministry doors open if they don't get donations. See, they may not be deceptive in saying that but who is to say they didn't deplete that very account they are talking about and just moved the funds to another one of their ministry accounts. See, my thought is if you can prove by providing all books of business for the ministry showing all accounts are empty then there is a true cause there. Until you can prove that then take caution okay. Do not be naive enough to think a ministry only has one account. Now, there may be some ministries that only do have one account, but others have more than one account, just use caution because I truly did think it was Holy Spirit leading me when I made donations. I have repented with Jesus and asked Him to forgive me if I missed the mark at all in this area. Thank God for the precious blood of Jesus that washes us clean and makes us whole again. Do not ever feel like you cannot be forgiven by Jesus, ask and He will bring forgiveness to you. 

Let's talk about some recent blessings in my life to balance out this heavy sort of subject today okay. It was this past Saturday when I went to a local vendor to look at a presidential candidate's merchandise. I have been in search for a certain car window flag but each time they have been sold out. A neighbor of mine commented on how they liked a garden sign I had. I bought 2-yard signs, one for me and then 1 to bless my neighbor with if they wanted it. The vendor told me they would give me the 2 window stickers they had on their vehicle with my purchase. I told them I would keep one for my car and give one away to a local manager @ a store. I did exactly that and they liked it and was going to put it on their vehicle. I went to an actual merchandise store that has been set up for this presidential candidate, but they were not open. I felt led to get NY style pizza and share it with neighbors. I went back to the local vendor and brought them some pizza and told them that the merchandise store was not open that they told me about. Do you know what this vendor said to me after I brought the pizza and said how I gave the one sticker away ... pick out 2 items for free. I picked out a flag for the manager and another garden type of sign for me. I was not looking for a blessing, but a blessing found me.

A neighbor hired someone to clean their windows and told me about it the other day. I hear someone in the backyard, and I looked to see what the noise was. Well, the window cleaner just cleaned the 2 top windows (in which I am not tall enough to reach without a step ladder) of mine. I showed them the neighbors windows and I thanked them and also joked with them to not charge my neighbor for those 2 cleaned windows. This business charges a fee per window cleaned both inside and out that is. I am thankful for blessings like that in my life. You do know you are blessed to be a blessing to bless others right. Don't hoard your blessings but share them with others.

Is This God's Providential Timing I Found This Video Early This Morning 9/1/2024?

I do not think it was a coincidence that I found and viewed this very video early today 9/1/2024. I am not saying I agree 100% with it but there was a portion that truly spoke to me. He speaks of a pastor/minister and his ministry history. It starts to sound like I knew whom he was speaking of especially when he shared this minister's portion of testimony. This particular minister asked of God that when it was his time to go be with Jesus, he would have his favorite breakfast and then go. That is exactly what happened in the life of Kenneth E. Hagan. See, I am actually about to embark on chapter 20, the final chapter in a workbook about " The Holy Spirit and His Gifts". It is a part of the "Faith Library Publications Study Guide Series".

I am truly gleaning from this project I have been working on for a couple of months now. I work on it in my spare time to set aside in this study. I must confess though that around page 143 the pages began to fall out of the book as you worked in the following pages/chapters. Oh well, it did not stop me from forging on to complete this project.

This video and timing are an answer to a silent question I had for Holy Spirit, am I going to find out something ugly about this minister since so many ministers are coming out of the woodwork so to speak with sins and great sins being exposed in their lives today. I found this workbook in a small and local old-time type of Christian bookstore a few months ago and paid 16.99 for this. The best spent money in my opinion.

I find this is a time of purging in my life and a fresh start of letting go and letting God take control of whom I am connected with ministry wise in my life.
