christian faith: Let Us Repent - 03/28/12 09:32 PM
Let Us Repent, TRULY Repent.   Repentance is not merely "saying" we're sorry, or asking forgiveness. True repentance is discovering that we are very wrong:   So wrong, that our spirit is grieved to the point that we want to undoSo wrong, that we cannot take another step in continuing as we areSo wrong, that we are running to GOD to confess - holding back nothing True repentance is acceptance of the TRUTH that is revealed when LIGHT has come to an area that was formerly hidden in darkness. Let us hunger and thirst for this TRUTH to the point that we are willing to deny ourselves, decreasing from being US, and taking a position of humbleness.  … (4 comments)

christian faith: Acquiring "Substance" - 07/10/11 10:44 AM
Wonder WHY things are NOT happening as you believe they should for you?  Ever seem like only OTHERS are realizing their purposes in life, and NOT YOU?? There is a possibility that you need to acquire "substance".   Just WHAT is substance?  Substance is that itty bitty amount of accumulated matter that settles upon things.... ANY thing that is a "thing" gets a dose of it as long as the thing is not moving!   It's the stuff you cannot see in it's onset... it's like fine grained...
"dust"!  
 

Dust appears.... right?  If we would just leave things alone and wait … (16 comments)

christian faith: Today, The Rain Came - December 31, 2010 - 12/31/10 07:10 AM
Today, the rain came...Today, the rain came down at a pace with determined repetition, relentless in it's ambition to wash away all traces of remembrance of every opponent in it's path.   It's purging cleansing downpour was sent to search under, over, through, and in between secret places of hoarding, unabashedly liberating agendas, plans, plots, and schemes in it's uncovering.  This pronouncement upon the earth has come to extinguish all evidence of lurking devices. A grand elimination of waste and weights occurs in this drenching.  Hidden works of darkness, being exposed, have no way to cloak it's lewd nudity in this flushing.  Divisive … (25 comments)

christian faith: Three Days Unto 2010 - 01/03/10 10:30 AM
It was in 2008 when i began to set aside the first three days of every month to have a first fruit fast unto the Lord.  These three days have helped me to clear my mind, spirit, and body.  The biggest benefit for me, is receiving more acuteness in the Spirit Realm to hear God.
On the 1ST, i was awakened with... a word of correction which, i gratefully received wholeheartedly.  When the chastening of the Lord occurs, it's His Love, which i readily accept, knowing, if we are without chastening, God deals with us as bastards, and not children of the Kingdom.... Thank You God!

christian faith: Shouldn't We Be Forgiving While We Are Thanking? - 11/27/09 03:56 PM
Expressions of gratitude are poured out from homes and gatherings all over America annually, on the last Thursday in November.  A spirit of fellowship is suspended in the atmosphere.... permeating, lingering, and being celebrated, as lengthy orations of thanks are exchanged.
It's Thanksgiving Day!  A time set aside to remember the goodness of God who has faithfully provided us with nourishment, protection, clothing, shelter, family, our freedoms, and our country. 
The Holiday, a festive occasion most commonly shared with relatives breaking bread together around the dining room table is hungrily anticipated!   We bow our heads in prayer to thank God, and … (15 comments)

christian faith: FEAR - Does It Have YOU On The Run? - 11/24/09 05:33 PM
We've all experienced that nagging feeling of doom.  It usually happens after hearing about or seeing  negative news that occurred or was dreamt about.  We respond different ways...

Heart skips a beat or two & sweat appears on forehead  An anguished cry erupts from the mouth We run, or hide, or both  We stand, unmoving in shock and awe We wring hands, pull at hair, or shake head in unbelief  We open our mouths, gasp, then place hands over it We call someone asking for prayer We check the news - or other sources to verify We DO something... We DO nothing..., etc. The hearing of bad news causes a "grip of … (15 comments)

christian faith: I Met "My Husbo" 16 Years Ago.... Today - 10/26/09 09:01 AM
This is a sentimental mushy post, so for those who have had enough of me raving about "My Husbo"... don't read another word....
Exactly 16 years ago today, a very shy, tall skinny man came into the book store where i worked, and just stood there looking awkward.
What's HIS problem, i thought? Of course, i did not know him from Adam, for at the time, the suffering i endured caused me to look really really bad.... had lost my car, job, my house.... Everyone...  had forsook me.... it was awful!!
In the spirit realm though, i was FULL of the JOY of the … (31 comments)

christian faith: Are you LED or LEAD? - 10/23/09 01:42 PM
Of all the things i love about my husband, it's his "I will NOT be moved" spirit that gains my highest regard toward him.  In our fifteen years of marriage, there has not been a single regret that can be attributed to the decisions he's had to make for our well being, and it's been because of his relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
When challenges presented itself, what did he do?  NOT A THING... until he received clearance and directives from God!  Before learning of his ways, i used to stand on my head....  to NO avail!  He had no empathy for my … (17 comments)

christian faith: Loving the HELL Out Of Your Enemies - 10/10/09 04:26 AM
Do you have enemies?  OF COURSE you do... they are everywhere... even in the Rain!  Seriously, Active Rain?  Really?  NO!!!  Couldn't be... for we are a group of professionals seeking to get our brand out to the public!  We work TOGETHER don't we?  We LOVE one another.... there are NO haters here!!!
Upon closer examination, you will find that PEOPLE THEMSELVES are not haters....a human is not your enemy.... a person is just a body, a shell, a container, a conveyor, and that's all.  It's what is allowed to fester inwardly that is the poison!  In simple infantile language.... it's WHAT YOU ARE FULL OF!
Whatever you're grubbing upon will surface.... and whoever is … (22 comments)

This is being written to help encourage BELIEVERS.  Come on now, saints.... God PROMISED you'd have tribulations upon this earth!!  However, He also gave you a SURE WORD you can count on.... be of GOOD CHEER, for He has overcome the world!! 
Just WHERE did you hide your faith?  Go pick it back up - for you will need it in these trying times!!  Don't you know it's a GOOD fight He's asked you to fight?  Well, now, if you are cowering in some corner, afraid to enter into the ring, you'd never find out just how much of an OVERCOMER God … (26 comments)

christian faith: GOD Should NOT Be Deprived Of HIS Praise Because Of What You Are Facing! - 06/08/09 08:17 PM
Many are facing challenges never met before, including me.  It's a shaking that is intensely felt, and affects every move taken.  If we are not watchful, we will resort to rehearsing our fears and accenting despair and hopelessness.  These testing times are sobering.  We walk them out with humility, and with an increased awareness of our frailty, depending totally upon God's faithfulness to deliver us.  
It's a "cross" walk that takes us on an examining journey.  No one else can stand in proxy for us.  It has to be faced and overcome alone.  It's a dying.  The pain is indescribable... you just … (24 comments)

christian faith: Solutions To Section 8 For Believers (Part 3 of a Series) - 05/03/09 09:35 AM
In part 1 and part 2, some of the truths of the hindering dependencies on Section 8 were uncovered.  Not all can receive this word, for it is targeted for the believer in God, not religious "church-goers", but for those who have heeded the call to follow Jesus by faith.
There is a manner in which God wants His people to walk.... FREE from the systems of this world.  None of us have totally arrived, for the transforming work is a progress as we yield to the unction of the Holy Spirit and obey.  When God called His people out of … (10 comments)

IF you have faith in Jesus, I am asking you to stand in AGREEMENT PRAYER for Active Rain's TLW:
This is her post: http://activerain.com/blogsview/979667/FearFalse-Evidence-Appearing-RealROAR
BUT THIS IS OUR PRAYER:
Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift up Your daughter to You with all humility and gratefulness, knowing that You are a God who hears and answers prayers, granting us access to You.  We first ask that You would have mercy, and extend Your grace that lovingly covers every sickness, disease, ailment, affliction, and attack. 
We thank You for the Blood of Jesus that was shed, and the power of the stripes borne … (41 comments)

christian faith: TUNE in, LISTEN.... Then OBEY - 02/09/09 01:32 AM
We plan our day the night before, carefully deciding what we will wear, making conscious effort not to select an outfit similar to what we donned the previous time we attended a certain event.  Mentally, we have rehearsed what we'll say.  The necessary materials are all arranged that we will take with us; perhaps a listing presentation, the bank statement, copy of minutes from the last meeting, CMA report, etc. (depending upon the mission).
The day arrives! We are in anticipation of carrying out our appointment, and we have begun with prayer, thanking God first, asking Him for a successful presentation, … (17 comments)

Ever hear someone say....
My feet are killing me.. I'm just dying to see ____________                       I think i'm coming down with the flu                                             I think i'm catching a cold! The Real Estate Market is BAD!! Now, in visualizing the above, can you imagine a pair of feet taking hold around someones neck and strangling them?  How about going to see a favorite singer, and after taking a look, just dropping down dead!  Imagine running as hard as you can to catch up with the fast-as-lightening-moving common "cold"?  Have you seen the Real Estate Market standing in the corner with a dunce cap on it's head … (54 comments)
