God covers my back and He cover yours if you let Him

July 25th, 2010

God takes care of me when they team against me, just put it in His hands.
Stop putting me down behind my back and stop making me out to be nothing and like a nuisance when you talk about me.

God is not asleep

When the goal is achieved, the supporters will all leave and you will be on your own.
When they hide and sneak and have like a joke and think it is all fun and games with everything concerning me, I will let God deal with them as I put all things in their hands.

Stop expecting me to do something bad and allowing the system and other people to suggest what I will do.

A word for all seasons in my life starting NOW!

October 20th, 2010

This morning as I was praying I asked the Lord why I was so misunderstood whenever I talk. I brought to memory that I talked to Julia and she seem to have another idea, I talk to Pia and she has the idea of me thinking of money. I talk to Barbara and somehow she has always had a different idea. Same thing with Kenny

The Lord said, “mixing my fears with my desires when talking brings confusion. Speak my desires only”.

So, I realize that I am thinking about my fears so much that what I say is influenced by them a lot more than my desires and it is my desires that I am to be focused on. I am not sure if this is theoretically or scientifically correct but, as I think about the things I have said, I realize that I need to make changes.

When I talked to Barbara about our financial situation a year or so ago, I was so taken up with the possible crisis that I did not present the plan for the future accurately and positively so I think she could not run with it. When I talked about the whole inheritance issue, I was so fearful of her not being loyal that I did not focus on what we could do together. When we talked about everything during that terrible period of our life, I was always focusing on the fears or negative side of things and not having the strong emphasis on the positive plans and expecting results as I used to be.

I am known as someone who is always believing that I am a winner and I will succeed so I do not know where that new thinking came from but as of now, IT IS GONE.

The POSITIVE, BELIEVING, EXPECTING, TRUSTING GOD man is back.
I will speak only positive God trusting, “I can do it”, expecting results, kind of words and statements. God is good, HE will even instruct me in simple matters because they affect every area of my life.

No One Can Stop Your Love – Posted by Jon Walker

February 27th, 2011

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)

“Others can reject your love, refuse your love, misunderstand your love … they cannot stop you from loving them.”

(This devotional is by Jon Walker, editor of the Daily Hope Devotionals and author of Costly Grace.)

If you set out to love someone, no one can stop you from reaching your goal.

If your goal is to get him to love you back, he can decide not to love you. If your goal is to change her, she can resist your attempts to change. If your goal to please him, he can remain unpleased. If your goal is to control her, she can rebel against your control.

But no one can block your goal to give unconditional, Jesus-led love.

Others can reject your love, refuse your love, misunderstand your love, discount your love, spit on your love, ignore your love, impugn your love, but they cannot stop you from loving them.

Others can hold your love in scorn, crown your love with thorns, and nail your love to a cross of shame, but they cannot stop you from loving them.

Bono, from U2, once asked the question: “How do you dismantle an atomic bomb?” The answer, he said, was love.

Love presses through as “it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres” and love “sustains all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7 NIV; Hebrews 1:3 HCSB).

The all-powerful God of love takes our fears and redeems them with his love, so we can move with the unstoppable, sustainable objective to love even those who seem impossible to love.

With Jesus loving through you, no one can stop your love.

Bible vs Cell Phone

January 28th, 2011

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go….hmm…where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell  phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being
Disconnected because Jesus already paid the  bill.
Makes you stop and think ‘where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

good advice lies deep within the heart

January 1st, 2011

Proverbs 20:5 Though good advice lies deep within the heart,
a person with understanding will draw it out. (NLB)

2011 – Psalm 143: 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning

January 1st, 2011

Psalm 143: 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

9Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

10Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

11Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.

12And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

The Charlie Schulz Philosophy

December 23rd, 2010

The Charlie Schulz Philosophy
(Scroll thru slowly and read carefully to receive and enjoy full effect.
)
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the ‘Peanuts’ comic strip.

You don’t have to actually answer the
questions. Just ponder on them.

Just read the e-mail straight through, and you’ll get the point

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies..
Awards tarnish..
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the
most credentials, the most money…or the most awards.

They simply are the ones who care the most.
Pass this on to those people who have either made a difference in your life,
or whom you keep close in your heart, like I did.
‘Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today.  It’s already tomorrow in Australia !’
