Hard Times

I know a lot of people are worried about the economy.  I believe that we are in the midst of a storm.  God is no longer the back-bone of this nation.  The only thing special about us is that our country was formed on the rock.  It was birthed as a Christ-centered country, but unfortunately, we have turned our ways.

 ” If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14

This is only the beginning.  Trouble is definetly on the horizon.  But the people of God have nothing to fear.  Now is the time to understand when we put our trust in the government, in man, we are failing to trust him.  Man made systems will fall, but the Lord will uphold his people, he will never fail them.  Now is the time to get your heart in the right place, in front of his face.  Do not make the mistake of turning to him just because of fear for your life.  You need to realize that we are at a turning point where every person has to come to a decision, who to follow, God or man.  We are in the end of days, the earth is groaning for the sons to be revealed.  The church is to awake, and I don’t know about you but I do not want to be left out.  Fear is gripping men’s hearts, their hearts will fail them.  People that walk close with God will fall away due to fear.  This is not a time to be weak in our faith.  It is the time to hold fast to your beliefs, cast out everything you have that gets in the way of your relationship with him.  We have to decide, do we trust him?  If we don’t find solid ground in these dark times, surely we will not stand.  Grab onto him and his word, and hold fast, don’t let go.  Strap in, we are in for a ride.  Do not fear, fear doesn’t come from God.  I came to the realization long ago that we seem to have more faith in the devil to deceive us than for God to protect us.  Guard your heart, stand firm, place all your trust in the one, true king, and you will not faulter.  People are saying a lot of things about the election.  I just want to say that people can preach a lot about change, but all you have to do is look at what they stand for.  Can you stand with someone who supports abortion?  We will stand in judgement one day.  These babies were denied the right to live, and I do not want to be responsible for that.  I do not want socialized medicine, if something were to happen to me, the government has no right to choose whether I live or die, only my family should have that priveledge.  I want to keep my freedom.  What little there is left.  Yes these are hard decisions, but we have to stand for righteousness, if we allow these things to happen we are placing our country in more dangers. This is the time when the battle becomes all the more fierce, be careful, let the Holy Spirit lead you, he is the only truth, the only thing that can keep you free.

Happiness

Happiness is not a feeling, but a choice.  Your life is your life.  No one else is living it, but you.  We can say all we want that we are not happy because of him or her, but in reality that is a BIG lie, and if we think about it we know it.  When someone hurts you, they go on about their business without a care, and you are the one miserable driving yourself crazy.  You are not hurting anybody but yourself when you hold onto anger, hurt, unforgiveness, etc.  You CAN choose to be happy, no matter your circumstance.  If you let others control the way you feel by what they do, then you are living a life that doesn’t belong to you.  You are being held in invisible chains, in the past.  God gave us free will, and people can and will hurt you, but if you will let that go, and choose to be happy anyway, God will take the most awful things that have happened to you, and turn your life into something beautiful.  See, we have free will to mess up whatever we want, but when we hand over our free will, realizing that we don’t know what’s best for us, and give it all to the one who does, he will take it and turn it into a beautiful garden.  Jesus gave up his life on his own free will so that we may be able to do the same.  That means that no longer are we obligated to respond to things the way that we naturally would, because we are no longer in control.  If we recieve his love and goodness into our lives, we become changed.  We Know Him, and know that we are deeply loved, and we walk in that love.  Before long, we no longer live by our emotions, we live by truth, the truth always sets you free.  There is only one truth, HIM, if we seek him above anything else, the best we can, our lives become transformed into the truth.  It seems complicated, but it’s not.  You are alive, he put you together in your mother’s womb, made you the way he wanted, and gave you an eternal gift that you are free to take or reject.  If you reject it, you will always have a void, a hole in the pit of your heart, never being filled no matter how you try to fill it.  If you recieve it, and learn to have a relationship with him, learn that you are a child of the most high God, and that he has a great purpose and plan for you, know that he loves you, created you to be loved by him, and him by you, your life will become meaningful, filled beyond measure with purpose, happiness, and love.  You will be one of the few who knows TRUE happiness, and your life will be great, beyond anything you could ever imagine.  Why do we so often reject the greatest gift ever given, the one we are searching for but have been so blinded by false rules and religion we don’t even see that it is such a great gift.  We often just see boring religion, a bunch of rules.  That was not the way he wants it, it’s not about rules, it’s about your heart and your willingness to hand it over to the greatest lover in this world

A Thousand Times

September 23, 2008 at 3:28 pm (Uncategorized)

I have awoke from sleep a thousand times.

I have put on my shoes a thousand times.

I have been to school a thousand times.

I have been to church a thousand times.

I have been to the store a thousand times.

I have smelled flowers a thousand times.

I have done so many things in my so few years.

But how many times have I healed the sick?

How many times have I raised the dead?

How many times have I stopped suicide?

How many times have I stopped abortion?

How many times have I been there?

How many times have I been brave enough?

Strong enough?

Loving enough?

Not nearly as much as the things I have done a thousand times.

I can get up every morning and easily say I do the right thing.  I take care of my kids, I am a good wife.  I am a good person, but is that all I really want? 

No, I won’t settle for that.  That’s a life of mediocrity.  Yes I do do things I should, but what about the things I am not doing?  The things that require effort, integrity, courage?

Do those things not matter?  We are in a lost dying world, how can we settle?  We go day after day focusing on ourselves, when there is a whole other battle to fight.

I declare in my lifetime, I will be all that I was made to be.

I will move mountains.

I will head the sick.

I will raise the dead.

I will rise up and be victorious.

I will recieve and walk in my full inheritance that has already been given to me.

These things I will also do…..a thousand times.

Deep Within

I do not live in this world. 

  I am a stranger to this land. 

I wait patiently for the one who comes and puts joy in my heart.

   A fire churns in my belly.

I feel the warmth on my face.

  His light is shining on me, resting on me.

He longs to be with me, embrace me.

  No deeper intimacy could a human give, only he can love like this. 

My heart is a deep pool, waves crashing to the rim and spilling over and running through me.

  Then out of my heart, his heart becomes known. 

He deeply desires to consume us all, his creation, his precious little ones. 

  Oh, there is more, there is so much more. 

More to come, more to know, more to see, more to feel, more to love. 

  His love is an unending love, it swirls everywhere, willing to come into whomever invites it. 

His eyes wonder to and fro, searching constantly for those who will welcome his embrace. 

  Do you know of this lover? 

He comes quietly, gently, when you least expect it. 

   So softly that you can miss it if you’re not careful. 

His love is beyond any love you have ever known.  

  Magical. 

He rides with the wind, blowing past your face whispering ever so softly, “Surrender your heart, and I will show you things you have never known before.” 

 His grace and his beauty is beyond measure. 

Do you know him? 

 He longs for you, calls for you, his passion for you burns in his sharp piercing eyes. 

His hands long to touch your face, and take you with him. 

 He waits to tell you of the kingdom inside you that is hidden so deep. 

Walk the mountains with you. 

 Show you this place of rest. 

This place of hiding. 

  Will you go? 

In the deepest shadows, there is light, a light that is covered. 

  When this light is let out it shines brighter than the sun. 

It has been hidden for a long time, but now is the time for it to come forth. 

  Destiny is calling, oh, who will answer this call? 

How very few answer, how very few see, now is the time, who will take this walk with me?

Change???

I recieved the following email this morning:

Even if this is true, what can we do about it???
 
 
  Subject: He said  “change”   His next trick is _-_-_-On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary.  This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.

There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info.  Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible.

The ‘health  problem’ cited in those articles was aneurysm.  Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.

However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this Obama strategy will be a go.  Therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

So, let’s start mixing this one up and cut the Obamites off at the pass – send this info out to as many people as you can – post about it on websites and blogs – etc.

The Anthony House

I just finished watching the videos of the confrontation of the woman protester and Cindy Anthony.   I don’t understand how these people think this is solving anything.  The woman had two little children with her, every other word she said was profanity.  Everyone who saw these videos are gonna question this mother for putting children into something like this.  To beat it all, the kid ends up rolling around on the ground in pain, because the mother acted like she was gonna fight Cindy and when a guy grabbed her to hold her back, she went backwards crushing her child’s arm in the car door.  Come on, people!  That was ridiculous.  I know it seems Casey is guilty.  But can we put ourselves into the parents shoes?  We can’t do this.  This is no better.  I am speechless.  No one has a right to stand outside their house condemning them for loving their flesh and blood.  I just can’t believe the anger that’s coming out of people towards the very people who are heartbroken.  These protesters did not raise either of them.  It seems to me, the Anthony family are fighting out of love, and the people protesting are fighting from sheer hate, who does this put into the wrong?  I hope people wake up and realize what they are doing.  I want the truth to come out just as much as anyone, I want Caylee to be found, I want her mother to tell the truth.  But, I have no right to judge Casey’s parents.  In my opinion, that woman should have went to jail.  What is this world coming to when people are so quick to condemn and pass judgement on others?  How can we possibly justify this?

Casey and Caylee Anthony

I have been watching this for days and days waiting for something to break.  Her mother knows more than she says of course, when will she break?  Will she break?  I pray that the truth comes out soon.  I pray that the little girl is alive.  I know it is unlikely, but it is possible.  I pray that Casey comes clean, and tells the truth.  She is getting out of jail sometime this morning.  Bail was posted by an anonymous person.  God, move in this situation.  Let her lead someone to something.  I just want with all of my being for Caylee to be alive.  Join me today in praying for light to be shed in this situation.  Pray for Caylee and her family.
