Confession for Forgiveness

As I lay another early morning, awake and unable to fall back to sleep. I thought to myself I might as well turn on the light and read, rather lying here tossing and turning. Thats when it came to me, that I had fallen asleep last night, without reading my nightly scripture. Neither, I realized had I read it the night before, or the night before that and the night before that!
Oh my God, I haven't read scritures sense the 29th of last month!
How could I forget?
What was I doing that was more important?
When did I my mind wandered from this?
Where had the time gone?
Why would I stray from my nightly ritual?
For the same reason as I had from others.
Like every morning, that my 14 year old van started, I would Thank God. But I had stopped.
Like every payday, I Thanked God when it was enough to cover the rent, bills, food and gas for that 14 year old van.
There were even mornings when on awakening that I hadn't Thanked God, for the new day.
Obviously, I had taken for granted that the van would always start, my pay check would always be enough, that I would wake up every morning.
That these things would just always be.

My Prayer
Oh Lord the God of my salvation, I give to you all Glory Honor and Praise. I come before you this morning, asking you to forgive this daughter her sins against you. I took the blessings graciously given and you, my Lord for granted. Like they and you were my just reward, my due, as if they were owed to me by you. I say to you now Lord, that I know this not to be true, for you owe me nothing, it is I who owes you. For without you, I would have and be nothing. I Thank you Lord for your Grace, I Thank you Lord for your Mercy. In your Son Jesus' name I do pray and ask all things. A'men.

Did you know?

The Lord our God and His Son Jesus Christ, love you no matter what. Even if you don't love them, they still love you.

I think thats just Awesome, Wonderful, Magnificent.

All I can say to that is HALLELUIAH!

I'm Thankful

Giving Honor to God who is the Head of my Life.
I'm thankful for a new day, another chance to walk with God.
I'm thankful for being woke up this morning covered by new Mercy and Grace.
I'm thankful for being able to walk, where I need to go without any worry of being hurt, coming to harm or coming across danger.
I'm thankful for the Lord standing between me and the enemy.
I'm thankful that the Lord put it on my brother's mind and in his heart to fix my van.
I'm thankful for the knowledge of answered prayer, that the Lord is watching over my children, other family members and friends.
I'm thankful that the Lord put the money needed in my hand, to go to the store for necessities.
I'm thankful that God turned up the heat.
I'm thankful for the peace in my life.
But I'm most thankful for a Lord that I can call on.

Tale of the Resurrection - John 20

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early (still dark) and saw that the stone had be removed. She ran to Simon Peter and the other disciples, told them they had taken away the Lord and we do not know where. Hearing this Peter and one other went toward the tomb. The other disciple out ran Peter coming first, he stooped down and looked inside and saw the linen clothe (Jesus was wrapped in) lying there but he did not enter. Simon Peter did go in and saw the linen clothes and the burial napkin that had been around Jesus' head was still rolled up and set apart by itself. The other disciple then went in saw was convinced and believed. They knew not the scripture that he must rise again from the dead. They left and went home. Mary stood outside the tomb weeping, as she wept she stooped down and looked inside and saw 2 angels in white. One at the head, the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain. They asked why she weeps. She said because they had taken away my Lord and I don't know where, he has been taken. When she turned around, she saw Jesus but did not know it was Him. Jesus asked Women why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? Thinking he was the gardener, asked if he had taken Him away and where, tell her and she would take him away. Jesus called her by name. Mary looked at him and said Master. Jesus said Touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethen and say unto them I ascend unto my Father, and your Father and to my God and your God. She went and told them that she had seen the Lord and he spoke these things to her. That same evening the disciples were shut up (locked) together in a room. Jesus came and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you, he then showed them his hands and side. The disciples were glad when they saw it was the Lord. Jesus said again, Peace be unto you as my Father hath sent me even so send I you, he breathed on them and said, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Who soever sins ye remit they are remitted unto them and whose soever sins ye retain they are retained. Thomas one of the 12 was not there. The others told him they had seen Him. Thomas said Except I see the print of the nails in his hands and thrust my hand in his side I will not believe. Eight days late all the disciples including Thomas were together as before. Jesus again came and said Peace be unto you, he told Thomas Reach hither thy finger and behold my hands, Reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not faithless but believing. Thomas answered my Lord and my God. Jesus said, Thomas because thou hast seen me and hath believed, blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.

Note: This is where the saying Don't be a doubting Thomas comes from. John ends his account of the Resurrection by noting that Jesus did many signs in front of the disciples that he did not write about but that those he did write about was so we would believe.

Questions:
Who was Mary Magdalene?
If they knew not the scripture, what did the other disciple believe?
Do you think Thomas did touch Jesus or where his words enough?
How many differences where there in the 4 tales? same?
Do you believe Jesus is the Christ? the Son of God?
Do you believe that you will have everlasting (eternal) life through his name?
What did Jesus have to do to make you a believer?

Tale of the Resurrection - Luke 24

On the first day of the week, at dawn the women went to the tomb, taking spices which they had made ready. They found the stone rolled away. They went inside, but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While wondering what to do, two men in dazzling raiment (white robes) suddenly stood there. Frightened they bowed their faces to the ground. The men said why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here but risen. Remember He told you while He was in Galilee the Son of Man must be given into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise. They then remembered. They told the 11 apostles (disciples) and all the rest when they returned, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and the other women with them, the men did not believe. Peter did go to the tomb to see for himself, he saw the linen clothes only. On the same day 2 of the disciples walking and talking about what they heard came upon Jesus but they did not recognize him. He asked what they were talking about. Cleopas asked did he not know about what happened to Jesus of Nazareth, how he had been sentenced to death and crucified. That He was their hope. Now on the third day the women who went to the tomb, not finding his body returned saying that the angels told them He was alive. Some of the men went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. Jesus called them foolish for being slow to believe what the prophets had said that it was necessary for Christ to suffer before entering into His Glory. He explained to them the scriptures concerning/referring to Himself. They urged Him to stay with them, at the meal he took bread gave praise, thanks, asked for blessing then broke it and gave it to them, at this moment they recognized Him then He vanished. They went back found and told the 11 and the others with them what had happened. While they were talking, Jesus stood among them and said Peace be to you. Afraid they thought it was a spirit. He asked why they were afraid and why they doubted, told them to see he had hands and feet, to feel him he was flesh and bones spirits were not. He asked for food, they gave it and He ate. He opened their minds to understand the scriptures, remain there he would send what was promised, blessed them and departed into heaven. They worshiped him and went back to the city with great joy, thereafter they were always in the Temple giving praise and blessing God.

Note: It is written Christ shall suffer and on the third day rise that repentance, forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name.

Question:
Who were they that Jesus said were witnesses?
Where was it that they were to remain?
What was it that He would send what His Father had promised?
Was your heart slow to believe?
How strong is your faith in the Word?
Do you daily give praises and blessings (thanks) to God?

Tale of the Resurrection - Mark 16

When the Sabbath was pass, after the sun had set. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome, purchased sweet smelling spices with which they wanted to anoint Jesus' body. Early the first day of the week they came to the tomb. They wondered who would roll away the stone at the door of the tomb? When they looked, they saw the stone was already moved. They went into he tomb and saw a young man (angel) sitting there clothed in white. They were amazed and afraid. He said to them do you look for Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. He has risen, He is not here, see where He laid. Go tell the disciples and Peter, He goes to Galilee He will see them there as he said. They fled the tomb, but said nothing about it to anyone. Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, she reported it to those who had been with Him. When they heard they did not believe. After this Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them. They returned and told the others, but still they did not believe. Then He appeared to the eleven and He spoke to them of their unbelief (lack of faith). He bid them go into the world and preach/publish the good news of the Gospel.

Note: There was no mention of and earthquake or the guards.

Questions:
Hadn't Jesus already been anointed with oil?
Why did he said specifically and Peter?
Of the 3 women at the tomb why appear only to Mary Magdalene?
Where the 2 He appearred to not part of the 11?
What did it take for you to believe?
How do you spread the good news of the Gospel?

Tale of the Resurrection - Matthew 28

After the Sabbath, near dawn the first day of the week. Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There came a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord had descended from heaven and rolled the boulder back (stone away) and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning, his garments white as snow. The guards post at the tomb were frightened at the sight of him, became like dead men (coma/stiff/stone like). The angel told the women, not to be frightened, he knew they had come looking for Jesus who had been crucified. He was not there, he had risen, as he said he would. The angel invited them into to tomb to see for themselves. He told them to quickly go and tell the disciples, that Jesus had risen and would met them in Galilee. The women left as instructed (they were afriad but filled with great joy). Jesus met the women on their way and greeted them. They fell at his feet (touching him) and worshiped him. Jesus told them not to fear, go tell his brethens (disciples) to meet him in Galilee.

Side note: The guards that were at the tomb, went to the priests and told them what happened. The priests and elders paid them to say that Jesus' disciples came and stole his body while they were sleeping. This story is still believed by some today.

The disciples went to Galilee (mountain) to meet Jesus at the appointed time. When they saw him, tell fell down and worshiped him, though some did doubt. Jesus told them that all authority (power) in heaven and earth had been given to him. Told them to go and make disciples (believers) of all the nations. Baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Teach to observe the command that he had given them. To know that He would be with them all their days to the close consummation of the age (death).

Questions:
Would you have been afraid? ran away from the angel? stayed to listen?
Would you have believed that He had risen?
Would you have gone to meet Him?
After seeing Him with your own eyes would you have still doubted?
Do you today believe that He lives?
Do you know that He is with you always?

Sundays message: The sin of Job

Job refused to admit his sin against God.
He considered himself clean without transgression, innocent, there was no iniquity in him. He told his friends how upright and righteous a man he was, how he feared the Lord.

He questioned Why me? What have I done?

This was after everything had been taken from him. His children, land, cattle, money, home and health. He did not understand why God continued to punish him when he had done nothing wrong.

Elihu a young man, who had listened to Job bemoan his fate and his friends who could not come up with an answer as to why, spoke up. He gave Job the answer as it had been revealed to him by God.

God was punishing him for his wickedness (sin). Job justified himself rather than God. (c35 v13)

Had he looked to God and not his friends, he would have found the answer to his questions. That God is greater than any mans pride.

He did acknowledge the Lord and his power and repented. (c42 v2-6)
He was able to say afterwards, I sinned but God let me go.
(will we be able to? or can we now say the same?)

Know that "....., He who is perfect in knowledge is with you." (c36 v4) Always.

Give Thanks unto the Lord and sing His Praises

The Lord is our deliverer, in Him will we trust and say unto Him my savior thou hast saved me. The Lord is worthy to be Praised.
In times of trouble we call out to the Lord and He hears our cry.
The Lord rewards us for our faithfulness.

Declaration

It was hot. I was walking. I was sweating (those that know me know it would have to have been REALLY hot if I was sweating).
As I approach the bar on the corner, a man came out onto the steps smoking a cigarette,
"How about a cold one?" he said.
"No thank you." I replied.
As I got closer he said, "Its free."
"No thank you." I said again as I walked by him.
"You must be on of those God fearing women" he called out behind me.
I turned and looked at him and said, "Yes, I am."
And continued on my walking.

Giving praise to my Lord for the encouragement, if there be any doubt if I can resist temptation.
This was my answer. Yes. I can.

Thanking and Praising God

Thanking and Praising God, for another Thursday that everything worked out so that I can go to Bible Study.

Thanking and Praising God, for the blessing the hands of my daughter, who filled my gas tank and its still registering full coming upon the ending of the third week.

Thanking and Praising God, for making a way out of no way.

Thanking and Praising God, for another days journey.

Thanking and Praising God, for just being God, the One and Only True God, the head of my life, the Beginning and End.

Thank you Lord, for making me who I am, giving me another chance to make/get it right. I ask that you continue to guide my footsteps, show me the way you would have me go, increase my understanding, I ask this as all things in the name of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Addressing My Negligence

I first ask the Lord to forgive me, for I know that His Praises should continually be in my mouth.

I did not willfully forget, but I did forget.

For this I am sorry and ask for the Lord's Mercy in His Son Jesus name. Amen.

I praise and thank God, that even though I do not have money to buy food. He has made sure that food is brought into my home.

I praise and thank God, that even though the fan belt broke on the car, it was still drivable and I could get it home, and that even without a car there is a bus I can take and even though I don't have money to take the bus I have health and strength in my legs and feet to get me where I need to go.

I praise and thank God, that in the midst of the storm, despite trials and tribulations, circumstances, I have peace of mind for I know that the Lord my God is with me and I have nothing to fear.

Thank you Lord for all that you have, will and can do in my life.

Sundays Sermon

Philippians 3:14 Paul says;
I press toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ.

I - this is an individual goal.

Press - you are to push through and pass circumstances and people that stand in your way, in spite of trials and tribulations.

Mark - the point of victory, the place you are trying to reach.

Prize of the High calling - santification, righteousness, the gift of

The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5) pressed her way through a crowd of people to get to Jesus, for her prize the stopping of her flow of blow, healing.

Blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10) pressed his way to Jesus by calling out to him, when the people told him to hold his peace he cried out even louder, for his prize he received his sight immediately.

The man with palsy (Mark 2) with the help of friends/family? pressed his way to Jesus in spite of the crowd of people by uncovering the roof and being let down into the room on a bed, for his prize forgiveness of his sins and rising from that bed to walk.

These are not only examples of Pressing toward the Mark for the Prize, but also of undoubting faith in the Power of Jesus Christ. They each knew that if they got to Jesus he could heal them, just by touching his garment, just by answering when his name was called, just by being in his presence.

In Philippians 3:13 Paul advises us to forget what is past, left behind, what once was and to reach toward, for that which is coming, that is before us, in living life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Out of My Mouth

Shall come Praises unto the Lord.
Blessed will I be for I fear the Lord and rejoice in His commandments.
I am mighty upon the earth, from generaton to generation.
I have great wealth for He blesses my home.
I walk in the light of His Love and Compassion.
I will remain righteousness, so I will be remembered when I stand before judgement.
My heart is firmly fixed in Trusting the Lord, I have no fear.
The enemy will see this and be angered, for he will know that his desire to turn me from the Lord has come to nothing.

The Greatest Gift

The Gift of Grace, given unto many by one. Jesus Christ, when he gave up his life on the Cross.

This Gift is greater than any sin.

My Friend Jesus

My friend Jesus, told me not to walk in darkness (sin), for I would not know where or which way to go. But, if I walked in the light my path would be lit, I would be able to see where to go and which way to get there.

Then my friend Jesus, gave me to understand that if I loved him, I should rejoice that he died on the cross, for it released him from this world to go unto the Father. That I was not be comfortless for He had sent the Holy Spirit.

And then my friend Jesus, told me that he would never leave me or forsake me. If I had need of him I only had to call his name and he would come.

So my friend Jesus, gave me this Peace. Not as the world defines it, but a different kind of Peace. His Peace lets not my heart be troubled neither lets it be afraid.

My friend Jesus, also told me that as a believer I needed to set an example for others (non-believers). Let them hear by my words of conversation, let them see by how I give and show love, let them know by my works, let the Spirit that dwells in me shine through, keep my Faith before, during and after the storms (trials and tribulations) of life and lastly not to neglect the gift(s) that he has given me, to use them for the Glory of the Kingdom.

Motivation to Obey

I do not ever again, wish to be lost. Wandering around aimlessly. No set direction to follow. Shoulder slumped, with back bent under heavy burdens. Eyes filled with tears that can not fall. Hands tightened into fist of anger. Restless in mind, body and spirit.
I now know where I'm going. In which direction I'm headed. Joyful tears are shed, Hands are open to clap or be raised in Praise. I know in Whom and in what I believe. How peaceful this knowledge is.

Fanatic Foe

When you make the decision, to follow the teachings of the Lord. The enemy will come. He will bring trouble to your mind, place fear in your heart and attempt to weaken your spirit. He will even send his companions, to frustrate the works of your hands, make false accusations against you believable to others and attempt to make you so miserable and unhappy with the choice you've made, that you will STOP!
You will not Praise God or Give Thanks.
You do not Pray or Worship.
You lack the Faith to stand strong.
You have no Belief in His Word, His Promise or the Covenant He made with you.
I implore you, keep Faith, you can stand straight and tall on the Word.
Response to their attempts with shouts of Praise and songs of Worship.
Give Thanks onto the Lord for His goodness, His mercy and that His lovingkindness endures forever.
Remember, YOU belong to the Lord, no weapon the enemy forms, can stand against you.
For you are covered by Grace.

Jesus Prayed for Me

Theres a song that goes "Somebody prayed for me, had me on their mind, took the time to pray for me" I believe thats how it goes.

I read in Word, not only did Jesus die on the Cross for me, but he also prayed for me before.
He prayed to His Holy Father;
That if I acknowledged the Lord, as the one and only True God, that I be given eternal life.
That if I receive and believe the Word, as He has given it to me, if I show myself to be His, that the Lord also accept me as His also.
That the Lord keep me, as part of the Body of One, so I will not be lost.
That I may have everlasting joy, in and of the Word, even though the world does not understand or rejects me.
That the Lord keep evil from me.
That I be sanctified through the Truth, the Truth of the Word.

But, he did not pray for me alone, but for all who would Love and Believe in Him, in the Word, in the Holy Father.

"I'm so glad He prayed, I'm so glad He prayed, I'm so glad He prayed for me."

The Revealation

Terror, fear, depression, a darkness in and over life. Knowing yourself to be among strangers, not belonging, cursed, accused, talked about, depised.
The Lord is hope. He will bring down judgement onthe enemy of His chosen people.
They (His Chosen) will come forth the richer, for their unwavering faith and shall know great peace.
The coming generations will turn away from Him, only to return. This will continue until the Covenant is fulfilled aqnd completed.
This is The Promise, The Pledge.

Prayer Request

My life seems to be stuck in a neverending cycle.
I know that this situation is of my own making.
I also know, that God can release me from it.
But, for some reason I am hindering Him from doing so.
Today, I am asking for you to pray for me.
Specifically, that my eyes shall be opened, so that I may see waht the Lord wants to show me.
That my ears shall be opened, so that I can hear what the Lord wants to tell me.
That my heart shall be opened, that I can acknowledge what it is and love myself anyway.
That my mind shall be opened, to accept what the Lord gives me to understand about myself, so that I can change.
Please, no calls, no questions.
I can't explain, cause I don't have the answers. Yet.
Thank you in advance, for your prayers.

Destiny

As I move forward, toward my destiny pre-ordained by the Lord my God. I am not afraid. For the God that I know, serve, worship and praise has only good thoughts about me, therefore I know that the plans he has for me will not cause any hurt, harm or danger to my person.
I have faith that no matter the stumbling blocks that will be put in my way, the Lord will show me either how to overcome them or go around it. With continueous Praise and daily Prayers He will stay with me as I walk through and out of trails and tribulations.
I acknowledge and understand that any problems, worries, concerns I have will be addressed. This is proof (if any was/is needed) of the Lord's Faithfulness and Love. I give (free will) Him power over/in my life, my future, my destiny.

Do you want Jesus to stay at your house?

Pastor asked this question at Bible Study. The answer is Yes of course I do. Now. But would I have before I started this walk of faith? Can I in all honesty say that if he had stopped onthe street, looked at me and said 'I must stay at your house today' that I would have received him? Would I have gone home to make ready for His coming? Or would I have stayed away, hoping when I did go home He would be gone? If I did let him in would it have been with great joy? Or with suspicion and mistrust? Would I have repented of my sins? sought forgiveness? asked what must I do to be saved?
I know what my answer is today. I also know what my answer would have been.

Pride

Faith should not be about vanity, self righteousness, or boastfulness.
Do not follow in the footsteps of the Pharises, boasting about all that he had done in the service of the Lord.
For God resist a proud people, but gives grace unto those who are humble. [James 4:6]
Yes, please do speak up and speak out about the goodness and greatness of the Lord and all that He has done for you and through you. For it is by His will that we are Who we are, Where we are and What we are.

Confession for Salvation

A few years ago, I decided to call myself a servant of the Lord and a follower of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with a cigarette in my left hand and a beer in my right.
I offered Praise, from the same lips, that issued cuss words like they where a second language.
I thought about God, with the same mind that carried around negative thoughts abut and against others.
In my heart love of God, was being kept company by hate and unforgiveness.
I was bound, but felt like I was free.
The Lord, took the time to sit down with me and show me the truth. He took the time to uncover for me the lies my eyes and ears would not andcould not see or hear.
He replaced my old second language, with a new one called Worship.
He removed my negative thought processes, renewing it with Prayers offered up about and for others.
He showed my heart how to forgive and thereby love.
He offered me freedom from the bondage of sin.
He gave me Salvation for the repenting of my sins.
Thank you Lord.

Second Chances

Not many of us ever recieve a second chance. As the saying goes "You only have one chance to make a first impression."
How happy I am that this statement does not hold true with God. Cause the God I know and serve, is a God of second chances.
He has given me one.
A second chance to live a new life.
This is His gift to me, no one can take it away, it is mine to accept or reject.
THIS time I choose to accept with my whole being (heart, body, mind, soul).
The first chance he gave me I took it, with a but. I accepted with exceptions, "Okay, I'll do your will as long as I can ....," "I'll go where you want, do what you want but first ....," and my all time #1, "If I do this for you what are you gonna do for me in return?"
As each blessing that I had recieved (with gleeful greed) was taken away, I came to know and understand, that God DOES NOT negotiate. There is NO bargaining, there is NO either/or. The question 'Will you?' requires a straight answer "I will".
The choice was mine.
God granted us free will after all.

I have entered into a Covenant with the Lord

To walk in the law of the Lord.
To seek after knowledge and understanding of the Word with my whole heart.
To not get wreary and faint.
To wait upon Him, then to respect and accept His judgements and counsel.
To read His word daily.
To rejoice in Him.
To let him guide me and take me where He would have me go.
To declare myself a follower and servant of the Lord God and his Son Jesus Christ.
To choose truth over lies.
To drink of the Living Water instead of beer and wine.
To breathe in His essence rather than cigarette smoke.
To expect to recieve new every morning His Grace and Mercy.
To always remember.

Worship in Depth, Fear and Love

We must Worship, Fear and Love the Lord and keep His commandments all our days, so that we may do well and increase. The Lord will keep his promise to us, he only asks that we worship (praise), fear, love Him and that He be first in our minds and hearts. The Lord will fill our homes with good things (peace,love,kindness), will show us food in a cabinet that we thought was bare (that our flesh may be as full as our spirit). We can not however, forget that it was He the Alpha and Omega, the Begining and the End who provides for us on a daily basis.
We need to teach our children also to worship, fear and love the Lord. We should be telling them our testimonies of why we worship the Lord how He brought us out of sin and delievered us. About how we now fear the Lord for He can take away all that he has given and return us to where we would have been now at this time in/of our lives had He not saved us. How we love the Lord by being careful and watchful of our words,thoughts, actions.
