The Seven Golden Candlesticks

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

The Great Dragon That Old Serpent Called The Devil

Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The Foundations Of You're Life

Jesus spoke of the man who built his house on solid foundation vs. the man that built his house on sand. One was built on rock solid foundation, while the other was not. Jesus went on to say that the house built on the solid foundation could withstand difficult times, that the winds could blow and the house would remain, but that the house built on sand would not stand and great would be the fall of it. Just imagine the endless situations and circumstances that this application could apply to.

 

Sometimes it's possible to start out on solid foundation and slowly be moved to unstable foundation. One way for this to happen is through compromise. We all occasionally compromise, however if we continue to walk in compromise it can cause a shift and that shift can lead to unstable grounds.

 

When this happens, we must examine situations, ourselves, and the path that we have taken. For it's easy to get off course in today's world.

 

There are blessings found in the straight and narrow.

Operation Christmas Child

I have shared this wonderful ministry with our readers before and with the holiday season just around the corner I must share it again. This is truly a wonderful ministry and one that you must see. And to just think, it all started with a shoe box, a lot of love and compassion. The organization is called Samaritan Purse and I encourage you to be a part of it.

 

Together, we all can make a difference.

Christian Music

Thank God for all the wonderful Christian artists, musicians and song writers that give us such awesome praise and worship music. Just imagine a church service without great worship music to worship the Lord to. Personally for me without praise and worship, I'd be lost. Over the years, we all have been blessed through various artists, groups and worship songs. I'm sure that you have your favorite artists, groups and various praise and worship songs.

 

Here are some great sites that showcase some great praise and worship music. One is Christian Music which has an excellent website. Another is Vineyard Music which is one of my favorites and another is Maranatha Music which is also another excellent ministry site.

 

Remember, it is good to worship the Lord.

Change Course And Enjoy The Beauty Of Life

There's nothing worse than bad hair day people. People that are always looking for some dramatic situation to unfold to make their day seem worth wild. People that are always gossipping about the latest, meddling in other peoples affairs, pointing fingers at others, judging and creating drama. I just don't understand that mind set. As if peace, happiness and joy escape them. What kind of life is that?

 

Life is beautiful, it is wonderful and it is filled with wonder. Yes, there are those days, weeks and sometimes seasons, but why with intent create difficulties and hardships. Why light the fire, place the skillet on it and jump into the skillet. And the worst part, why expect others to jump into the skillet with you.

 

Trade your bad hair day mentality in for days of peace, balance, and sound mind.

Online Bible Studies & Word Searches

Did you know that the name Jesus occurs 983 times in 942 verses in the KJV Bible? That is a lot of times within a lot of verses. Did you know that the word Lord occurs 7970 times in 6749 verses in the KJV and that God is mentioned 4473 times in 3893 verses in the KJV?

 

Studying the Bible can be both exciting and rewarding. Performing word searches can also be exciting, rewarding and can really expand your knowledge of scripture. Take for example the word love. If you were to perform a word search on the word love and study only those scriptures whereas the word love is mentioned. You'd get quite a overview of all the scriptures regarding love.

 

It's easy, fun and worth performing word searches. Simply visit www.blueletterbible.com and have fun.

Prayer Request For Our Brothers And Sisters Around The World

As Christian's we have a calling to pray for our brothers and sisters around the world. Within the body of Christ which goes much farther than your local church, there are missionaries serving in other countries around the globe. Just imagine serving in a country and land where there may be no running water, adequate food or housing. Just imagine serving in a country that was just hit by a earthquake, floods or where disease is in full swing. I have heard many stories about missionaries and what they encounter while overseas.

 

Please pray for our brothers and sisters in the mission fields and consider supporting them as they serve others in love.

In The Evil Day, Stand

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Blessings, in the love of God

The Fruit Of Eating Too Much

OK, I went and did it. I ate way too much dinner and am reminded of why I don't like to eat too much. Considering I skipped breakfast (dumb), didn't eat lunch (even dumber) maybe that's why I put three plates away at dinner. Ouch! Way too much food. I am reminded of the many posts I have written about balance, living a healthy life and taking time. Hypocrite, as it seems that my flesh just got the best of me. OK, I will repent, right after a bowl of ice cream.

 

It is written that the spirit and the flesh war one against the other. Right now there's a war going on in my stomach which is the consequences of missing two meals while trying to make up for them all in one. As our pastor would say: "We are all just dumb sheep". Bahhhh !!!!

 

Blessings, and have a great day.

Charity Organizations

There are endless charity organizations out there. There's no doubt that we all have many opportunities to be a blessing to others through various charity organizations. One that comes to mind is "Feed The Children'. That is one organization that always touches my heart. They provide much needed food and services for millions around the world that do not have.

 

Another organization that is a worthy organization is "Operation Shoe Box". They distribute Christmas decorated show boxes to churches and other organizations to be filled with toys and other items for children, pick them up and ship them worldwide. Regardless of the charity, whether it's local, national or worldwide. There are many great charities out there to choose from.

People Are Sometimes Like Roses

Roses are beautiful and have a wonderful smell. Of course the stem is lined with thorns and those thorns can hurt. What part of the rose are you. The beautifully colored flower that gives off a wonderful smell or the stem lined with all the thorns. One way to tell is by how many friends you have? Are people attracted to you. Do you make people smile? Do people love hanging around with you? Or do they stay away from you?

 

It is better to be a rose than a rose stem.

When Faith & Hope Grows Cold

There is nothing worse that when faith and hope grow cold. As believers we are dependant upon God's Spirit moving in our lives. When God's Spirit ceases to move in our lives, it's because we have gotten off course, strayed away from God, and His plans and purposes. The end result can be faith and hope grown cold. When that happens, we must return unto the Lord and get back in tune with our first love. We must recognise how we got off course, why we got off course and see the error of our ways. When we do, as we repent and change course, God again renews us.

 

You see God will never forsake us or leave us, therefore why would we want to forsake or leave Him.

When Fear Grips One's Life

Fear can cripple a person and become a controlling factor in their life. Of course there is natural fear that we all occasionally encounter. However, when fear starts to become a controlling factor in one's life as a stronghold, there's something wrong.

 

There is a scripture that basically states "you have not been given a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind". Note the word spirit. You see sometimes overwhelming strongholds of fear are exactly that. A spirit. A evil, wicked and unclean spirit that has rooted deeply within a person. When this happens it requires deliverance to be set free of that spirit. It requires the help of God.

 

If you are finding your life being controlled by un natural fear, contact a local church and talk with someone. They can help you. They will be able to counsel you, give you scriptural advice, pray for you and God can use them to set you free.

 

Blessings, and may the peace of God rain in your life

Sure Mercies

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

 

Blessings and drink deep, the goodness of God.

The Holiday Season

Just think of it, in just over 90 days Christmas will be upon us. Wow! this year is flying by. I love the holiday season starting with Thanksgiving. What a perfect holiday and oh how I love thanksgiving dinners. There is just something very special about November and December. December brings Christmas, Christmas trees, wonderful decorations, great music, wonderous colors, exchanging of gifts and so many beautiful expressions. Not too mention that it's the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. For truly, that is the reason for the season.

 

May your Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays be filled with joy.

Watching The Tides Change

Have you ever been there. Watching something unfold that was not suppose to happen. Sometimes our inability to listen and stubbornness brings forth the complete opposite of what God had planned. Other times we become surrounded by others that make so much noise that when God speaks we can't hear and don't listen.

 

The outcomes can be either blessings or curses, and sometimes seasons of time to change course that are like walking up a steep hill.

 

We should never quench God's Spirit, hinder His plans and purposes or turn our ears to His Words.
