Inspiration - Cell Phone

I received this in an Email.



"Cell Phone VS. THE BIBLE"


I 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 times 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 our 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...hmmm...where is 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.

And no dropped calls!

P.S. DO WHAT YOU THINK GOD WOULD WANT YOU TO DO WITH THIS EMAIL!

Spiritual Sharing - The Crucifixion

The Crucifixion



"Medical Doctor Mark Eastman helps us understand an act of love that may make your skin crawl, the likes of which have never been seen anywhere, before or since. Read it, Medical shudder, and maybe weep."

"Almost everyone is familiar with the phrase, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." It comes from the Bible, the words of Jesus Christ. Dr. Eastman gives a medical understanding of how Jesus set such a chilling example, with a scientific medical description of His gruesome, bloody death."

The punishment actually started during His trial, when he was spat upon and beaten. According to Dr. Eastman, this probably caused Jesus' eyelids to be swollen shut even before the trial was complete."

"Immediately after His trial, Jesus was 'scourged' (flogged) by the brutish Roman soldiers, an extreme form of punishment. The soldiers used a whip of numerous thongs, embedded with metal, bone or glass. Lash! Lash! Lash! Each lash tore into Jesus' body. There were typically 39 flesh-ripping lashes. The skin on His back was horribly shredded, exposing underlying muscle and skeletal tissues. Blood gushed from His wounds. Many victims died from the sheer trauma of this torture. An irreversible process of severe dehydration and cardio-respiratory failure began. A crown of thorns was mockingly placed on Jesus' head, causing more blood. He was spat upon and beaten more. But that was only the beginning. It gets worse..."

"The next step: the dreaded crucifixion on the cross. Invented by the Persians between 300-400 B.C. and perfected by the Romans, crucifixions called 'the most painful death ever invented by man.' It is where we get the term excruciating. To humiliate Him, Jesus was stripped naked, then placed on His back, arms stretched out and placed on a crossbar. Nails, about 7-9 inches long, were driven between the bones of the forearm (the radius and the ulna) and the small bones of the hands (the carpal bones). This insured that He would hang there until dead, and also to sever the median nerve, the largest nerve in the hand. This severing is a medical catastrophe, causing severe burning pain and the permanent paralysis of the hands."

"The positioning of the feet was critical. Jesus' knees were bent at about 45 degrees and the feet were flexed (bent downward) an additional 45 degrees. Another iron nail about 7-9 inches long was driven through His feet between the second and third metatarsal bones, severing the dorsal pedal artery. This set up a horrific series of events, resulting in a slow, painful death. Knees bent, Jesus now must try to bear His weight with the muscles of His thigh, an impossible position to maintain."

"In minutes, the strength of Jesus' legs gave out, resulting in the weight of the body being borne by His arms and shoulders, causing the shoulders to become dislocated. This causes the arms to be 6-9 inches longer than normal. With the arms dislocated, considerable body weight is transferred to the chest, causing the rib cage to be elevated in a state of perpetual inhalation. Consequently, in order to exhale, Jesus had to push down on His feet to allow the rib muscles to relax. Due to extreme fatigue, He could not do this for long, and as time went on He was less and less able, causing further dislocation of the arms and further raising of the chest wall, making breathing more and more difficult."

"The result of this process is a series of catastrophic physiological effects. Because Jesus could not maintain adequate ventilation of His lungs, the blood oxygen level began to diminish and the blood carbon dioxide level began to rise. This stimulated the heart to beat faster in order to increase the delivery of oxygen and the removal of the carbon dioxide. However Jesus' body could not deliver more oxygen and the rising heart rate only increased oxygen demand. The process set up a vicious cycle of increasing demand, which could not be met, followed by an ever-increasing heart rate."

"Jesus' heart began to fail and the lungs collapsed and filled up with fluid, which further decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues. The blood loss and hyper ventilation combined to cause more dehydration. That is why Jesus said, 'I thirst.'"

"Gradually, the combination of collapsing lungs, a failing heart, dehydration, and the inability to get adequate oxygen supplies to the tissues cause the eventual death of a victim. In effect, he cannot breathe properly and slowly suffocates to death. Making the situation much worse, because of the purpose of His suffering, Jesus also experienced the horror of separation from His heavenly Father, and the sins of all humanity."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus Christ, only about age 33, uttered His last words: 'It is finished,' declaring His redemptive work on earth complete. He gave up His Spirit. A soldier stuck a spear in His side, causing blood and water to gush out of His dead body. Jesus may have had a 'cardiac rupture,' the bursting of the heart, caused by severe cardiac stress. Jesus may have literally died of a 'broken heart.'"

"{Postscript: It gets even worse. Jesus then descended into hell (Ephesians 4:9), in our place. Then, just as He predicted, He was resurrected three days later! He made many appearances and was seen by more than 500 people. He then ascended into heaven, at which time two angels appeared and said He would return some day, just like He left. Many details of His birth, life, death and resurrection were prophesied hundreds of years in advance by the ancient Hebrew prophets, recorded in the Old Testament.}"

Who Are We As Christians? Part 5

"Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 4"

"Hebrews" Chapter 4:


1. "LET us therefore fear, lest, a promise left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it."

2. "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them; but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."

3. "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." (Psalm 95:11)

4. "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works." (Genesis 2:2)

5. "And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest." (Psalm 95:11)

6. "Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was (the good things were) first preached entered not in because of unbelief (disobedience)."

7. "Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day after so long a time; as it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." (Psalm 95:7)

8. "For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."

9. "There remaineth therefore a test to the people of God."

10. "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his own works, as God did from his." (Revelation 14:13)

11. "Let us labour (desire) therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief (disobedience)."

12. "For the word of God is quick (living), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder
(division) of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of (able to judge) the thoughts and intents of the heart."

13. "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."

14. "Seeing then we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast (firmly to) our profession."

15. "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

16. "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

NOTE:
In going before "The Throne of Grace" in prayer, I begin with: "My Beloved Almighty Yeshua, my Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus, my Beloved Almighty Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my Beloved Redeemer, Deliverer, Mediator, Advocate, Intercessor, Beloved Master, Teacher, Counsellor, Beloved Best Friend, Beloved Bridegroom, King, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Great High Priest, Author and Finisher of ALL of my Faith and my Beloved Almighty Holy Healer, Who art in heaven, sitting upon the Magnificent and Glorious Throne of Grace at the Right Hand of Beloved Almighty "Abba" Yahweh until all of Your enemies are under Your Beloved Holy Feet as Your Footstool Forever, Hallowed Be Thy Name."

"My Beloved Almighty "Abba" Yahweh, my Beloved Almighty "Abba" Father, my Beloved Almighty God El Elyon Who art in heaven, sitting upon The Magnificent and Glorious Throne of Grace, Hallowed Be Thy Name."


"My Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit of God, my Beloved Helper, Intercessor and Comforter Who art in, through, around and upon me and in heaven, Hallowed Be Thy Name."

According to John 14:13-14 that the Father may be glorified (honored) in the Son" (our Everlasting Father), I have glorified (honored) God, The "Father" in The Son and honored Him as "my Father".  In addition, I have also honored The Beloved Holy Spirit of God (The Complete Trinity).

Spiritual Sharing - Prayer For Children

"For Parents"


Pray daily over your children while laying hands on them. Lay one hand on the top of their head and the other hand on their heart.

Pray over each child individually especially your pre-teens and teenagers.

Ask our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ, our Beloved King and Everlasting Father to Reveal and Manifest His Will and His Plans in your children and in you for them.

Take time to pray with your little ones before they sleep.

"Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 18:10.

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them (turned them away). But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence." Matthew 19:13-15

"And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." Mark 9:37

"And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked (turned away) those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased (moved with indignation), and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. Mark 10:13-16

For those of you who have received the Infilling of our Beloved Holy Spirit evidenced by His Gift of "Speaking In Other Tongues", Pray over your children in "Tongues".

If you have infants and toddlers sing lullabies to them in "Tongues". They love it!

For parents-to-be lay hands on the belly and start praying over your "little one(s)" now. It is never too early!

For Fathers remember these 2 Scriptures as head of your home.

"And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition (training) of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4.

"Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged." Colossians 3:21


Let Us All Pray For "The Children"
Remembering They Are Our Future!

Who Are We As Christians? Part 3

"Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 2"

"Hebrews" Chapter 2:


1. "THEREFORE we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip (drift away from them)."

3. "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him:"

4. "God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers (various) miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?"

9. "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."

10. "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain (author) of their salvation perfect (mature) through sufferings."

11. "For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren."

12. "Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee." (Psalm 22:22)

13. "And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me." (Psalm 18:2; Isaiah 8:18;12:2)

14. "Forasmuch (since) then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"

15. "And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."

16. "For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham."

17. "Wherefore in all things it behoved (was proper for) him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."

18. "For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."



Reminder: Studying Chapter 2 in Its entirety will bring greater understanding to "the meat" from above.

Spiritual Sharing - Jesus

Our "Holy Bible" is very easy to understand if we keep in mind It is The Story of our Father (our  Beloved Almighty "Abba" Father) and His Only Begotten Son (our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ).

Think of It as a Tapestry through which there is a magnificent "golden" thread woven from side to side, which is our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ. (Revelation 1:8)


"Why I Pray To Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ"


As we continue to study about "Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as Our Great High Priest" you will begin to understand and when we finish looking at "Who Are We As Christians?" you will completely understand.

In 2004, I began preparing myself to receive "my own husband" into my life. I devoted all of 2004 to securing my relationship with "Our Bridegroom" as His Bride. My only desire being: "And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God" (Revelation 19:9)

I spent 2004 fasting, praying and studying "The Bible". Allowing my Lord, my Saviour, my Redeemer, my Deliverer, my Mediator, my Advocate, my Intercessor, my Master, my Teacher, my Counsellor, my Beloved Best Friend, my King, my Prince of Peace, my Great High Priest, The Author and finisher of ALL of my faith, my Beloved Almighty Holy Healer and my Beloved Bridegroom to reveal Himself to me as "THE WORD" through "The Word".

In 2005, I began to pray to God, our Beloved Almighty "Abba" Father in Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus Name, for my own husband.

I established a very close relationship with Him (God). He revealed that He is "Almighty" through "The Bible" and because He is "Omnipotent" (All Powerful), "Omnipresent" (Everywhere Present) and "Omniscient" (All Knowing).   He is "Abba" Father because we are His Children through Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.

In Mark 14:36 our Beloved Jesus calls Him, "Abba"Father: "And he said, Abba Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt (would you have me to do)."

In Romans 8:15-17 Beloved Apostle Paul tells us:
15.) "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage (slavery) again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father:"

16.) "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"

17.) "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

In Galatians 4:6 Beloved Apostle Paul tells us:
"And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying Abba, Father."

In my fellowship with our Beloved Almighty "Abba" Father, a prayer was revealed to me to pray for my own husband. I was praying "Our Biblical Marriage - God's Love Manifested!" to my Beloved Almighty "Abba" Father, Hallowed Be Thy Name.

One night after praying "Our Biblical Marriage - God's Love Manifested!" and finishing by singing "praises" to Him in "The Spirit" (in Tongues), I was "instructed": "Pray to My Son."

The instructions took me by surprise, but I obeyed and changed "Our Prayer" to: Our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ, Hallowed Be Thy Name." I was then shown Verse after Verse to validate what I had been "instructed" to do.

After reading several Verses in "The Four Gospels", I began to use "Almighty". I then added our Beloved King, because our Lord is King of kings, so He is my King.

Then upon reading Isaiah 9:6: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."; I then added Everlasting Father.

Thus, my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ, my Beloved King and Everlasting Father, Hallowed Be Thy Name.



I now use: My Beloved Almighty Yeshua, my Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus, my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ, my Beloved Bridegroom. King, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Great High Priest, Author and Finisher of ALL of my Faith, Beloved Best Friend and my Beloved Almighty Holy Healer.



Beloved Almighty Christ Jesus Name in Hebrew is Yeshua ha-Mashiach.  This is The Name, my Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit of God, calls Jesus through me while I am Praying in The Spirit (in Tongues), so this is The Name I use when praying in the understanding also.


It has never been revealed to me why "Yeshua" is prayed through me.  I accept It as an honor, a privilege and a special blessing bestowed upon me. 

WORD WEALTH: Daniel 9:25 - Messiah, mashiach (mah-shee-ahch); Strong's #4899: Anointed one, messiah.  Found 39 times in the OT, mashiach is derived from the verb mashach , "to anoint," "to consecrate by applying the holy aninting oil to an individual."  Mashiach describes the high priest (Lev. 4:3, 16) and anointed kings, such as Saul (2Sam. 1:14) and David (2Sam. 19:21; Ps. 18:50).  In Ps. and in Dan., mashiach is particularly used for David's anointed heir, the king of Israel and ruler of all nations (see Ps. 2:2; 28:8; Dan. 9:25, 26).  When the earliest followers of Jesus spoke of Him, they called Him Jesus the Messiah, or in Hebrew, Yeshua ha-Mashiach.  "Messiah" or "Anointed One" is Christos in Greek and is the origin of the English form "Christ."  Whenever the Lord is called "Jesus Christ,"  He is being called "Jesus the Messiah."

Hayford, Litt.D..   Old Testament Editor: Sam Middlebrook, D.Min..  New Testament Editor: Jerry Horner, Th.D..  Assistant Editor: Gary Matsdorf, M.A.. Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville.


After receiving the instruction from my Beloved Almighty "ABBA" Father, I also added the following Scriptures to my Prayers: I humbly receive and accept this according to Your "Instructions" and "Promises" John 14:13-14: "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified (honored) in the Son." "If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it."

Luke 11:9-10: "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." "For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

Revelation 3:7-8: "...These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;" "I know thy works; behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."

I added Revelation 3:7-8, because there are some "old" doors that I desire to be closed and some "new" doors that I desire to be opened. Who better to Ask to close and open doors than our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ that has the key of David?

Why do we quote Scripture in our prayers? Yes, "The Living Word" (Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ) knows His Word. Through faith we are telling Him, we are standing on His Word for His answers in our prayers, in our life and in our living.

We will share other Verses with you later in our studies.



I no longer use "The Scriptures" as a part of my Prayers.  I have also graduated from 7 Prayers to 1.  I will share It when I am finished updating "Our Blog".


Thank you for allowing me to share.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 2

Our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest. Part 1

Now that we have looked at our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ as "The Living Word", we will "Behold Him" as our "Great High Priest". To do this we will move to: "The Epistle To The Hebrews".

We will be examining It Chapter by Chapter.

We will be pulling out of each Chapter "the meat" Verse by Verse.

When you have a clear understanding of "the meat" of each Chapter, I encourage you to study the whole Chapter.

"Hebrews" Chapter 1:


1. "GOD, who at sundry (different) times and in divers (various) manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,"

2. "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"

3. "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"

4. "Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."

5. "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" (Psalm 2:7) And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?" (II Samuel 7:14)

Note: Psalm 2 is about our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ. We will be examining Psalm 2 later. I encourage you to study It now for greater understanding.

6. "And again when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."

8. "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom." (Psalm 45:6)

9. "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy fellows." (Psalm 45:7)

13. "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?" (Psalm 110:1)

Thank You for allowing me to share with you what has been revealed to me.

Inspiration - I Have Moved

"I HAVE MOVED"
Author Unknown

I wanted you to be the first to know that I have moved and to give you my new home address:I have moved from Beggars Alley located on Poverty Lane at the corner of Bleak and Busted Circle.

As of today, I have a brand new home. My new address is: 123 Living Well Drive in the Abundance Subdivision, located at the corners of Blessings Street and Thankful Peak . You get there by taking the Praising Him Interstate, which runs North, South, East and West.

I no longer have to travel on Begging Peter to pay off Paul Route, because it's located at a dead-end intersection called: I Don't Have, that crosses Borrowers Junction & Complaining Lane. That road doesn't lead to my new home. I no longer hang out at Failure's Place near Excuses Avenue, near the Procrastination Mall.

I've moved on to an upscale community called Higher Heights with unlimited potential and opportunities for me to succeed----can' t you tell? Just look at me!! I met the neighbors and I love living next to them. Let me tell you about my new neighbors:

The It Family: Mr. Conceive It, Mrs. Believe It and sister Act On It.

Then there's Faith and Hope from next door, Ms. Persistent and Mr. Positive across the street,

Steve and Eve Achieve from down the street.

And my favorite neighbors are the family who live in a beautiful high rise on the penthouse floor.
The head of the house is God, He's the Father, Jesus, His only Son and Holy Spirit. (who's hardly ever home because He's always traveling, He is a real people person).

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! The best thing is that if you're tired of living where you're living, there are tons of homes for sale in my new neighborhood!!

Oh, just one thing I want to warn you about. There's this big dog named "Blessings" and every single time I leave my house he chases me down and overtakes me!! It's like he's everywhere!! I see "Blessings" in the city and "Blessings" in the fields, I see "Blessings" when I come and when I go!!

Since I can't get away from him, I've learned to just expect him and embrace him.

Good thing he doesn't bite!!

I am so thankful to be a product of my new environment. All of my clothes are now custom designed by the Master Tailor and made to fit just me. I am dressed in life's finest!!

I have a new walk and a new talk all because I CHOSE TO MOVE!!

Life is good because: GOD IS GOOD! HAVE YOU MOVED TOO?

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND PLEASE PASS THIS ON IF YOU WISH.

"Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect.
It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Spiritual Sharing - The Hands of God

"THE HANDS OF GOD"


With all that is happening in the world today, I felt we all need to be reminded Whose World we live in and that He is still in charge regardless of appearances and circumstances in our lives and living.

He is Omnipotent ( All Powerful), Omnipresent
(Everywhere Present) and Omniscient (All Knowing)!

"Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow!"

There are 1,440 minutes in each day He gives us.... How many minutes do you give back to Him in Thanksgiving, in Prayer and in Bible Study?

Begin Tithing today..... Give Him 144 minutes (2 hours, 24 minutes) of your attention in His day and watch how your life will change.

He woke you up this morning to do something "special" just for Him!


Please share your "Testimonies" with us in "Comments" at the bottom. Your sharing will enlighten, encourage, strengthen, edify, uplift and unite us.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 1

This will be an ONGOING, INTERACTIVE Exercise. You will need your "Bible".

I am using the "Old King James Version" of "The Bible."

I pray at the end of our journey, you will feel the deep humility of being a Christian, the depth of The Love of Almighty God, our Father and of our Lord and Saviour Beloved Almighty Jesus Christ for us as Christians. And "joy unspeakable" for the rest of your life here in Beloved Mother Earth (Terra Firma).

In discovering who we are as Christians, we begin with the definition of Gentiles.

If you are not of Jewish descent then according to "The Bible" we are Gentiles.

According to "Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of The Bible":
Gentile is found in "The Bible" in "The New Testament" 2 times defined as: 1672 - a Greek speaking person especially a non-Jew.

Gentiles is found in "The Bible" 129 times; 30 times in "The Old Testament" 99 times in "The New Testament."

"Gentiles in Hebrew is defined as: 1471 - Goy - pronounced - go'ee: a foreign nation; hence a Gentile - Gentile, heathen, nation, people."

"Gentiles in Greek is defined as: 1484 - Ethnos - pronounced eth'nos - a race (as of the same habit) i.e. a tribe; specifically a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually by implication pagan): - Gentile, heathen nation, people."

From "Smith's Bible Dictionary" - "Gentiles (nations). All the people who were not Jews were so called by them, being aliens from the worship, rites and privileges of Israel. The word was used contemptuously by them. In the New Testament it is used as equivalent to Greek. This use of the word seems to have arisen from the almost universal adoption of the Greek language."

From "Webster's New World College Dictionary" - "1. any person not a Jew; often specifically, a Christian 2. [Historical] among Christians, a heathen or pagan."

Gentiles first mentioned in "The Bible" - Genesis 10:5; last mentioned in Revelation 11:2

.
The Beginning: "Genesis 10:1 - "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood." Genesis 10:2 - "The sons of Japheth;" See Your "Bible" for the names. Genesis 10:5 - "By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; everyone after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."

The Ending: "Revelation 11:2 - "But the court which is without the temple leave out (cast out), and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."

NOTE: Revelation 11:2 is not referring to us as "Christians."

Now we will take our "First Real Look" as Gentiles at our Lord and Saviour, Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.

We begin this part of our journey in "The Gospel According to John", Chapter 1.

1. "In the beginning was the Word (The Son - Jesus), and the Word (The Son - Jesus), was with God (The Godhead - Father, Son, Holy Spirit)."

2. "The same was in the beginning with God (The Godhead - Father, Son, Holy Spirit)."

3. "All things were made by him (The Son - Jesus), and without him (The Son - Jesus) was not any thing made that was made."

4. "In him (The Son - Jesus) was life; and the life was the light (The Son - Jesus) of men."

5. "And the light (The Son - Jesus) shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended (over powered) it not."

9. "That was the true Light (The Son - Jesus), which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

10. "He (The Son - Jesus) was in the world, and the world was made by him (The Son - Jesus), and the world knew (recognized) him (The Son - Jesus) not."

11. "He (The Son - Jesus) came unto his own (The Jews) and his own received him (The Son - Jesus) not."

12. "But as many as received him (The Son - Jesus), to them gave he (The Son - Jesus) power to become the sons of God (The Father), even to them that believe on his name (The Son - Christ Jesus):"

13. "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (The Godhead - Father, Son, Holy Spirit)."

14. "And the Word (The Son - Jesus) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

With this new information we can better understand: Jesus sayings on "light" in: Matthew 5:14-16; 6:22-24; 11:28-30. Luke 8:15-18; 11:33-36; 12:2-5; 15:7-10. John 3:19-21; 5:33-36; 8:12; 9:1-5; 11:9-11; 12:35-36; 12:44-50.

And on "life" in: Matthew 7:13-15; 10:32-40; 16:24-28; 25:28-46. Mark 8:34-38; 10:29-31; 10:42-45. Luke 8:14-18; 9:23-27; 12:15; 17:32-33; 18:29-30; John 4:13-14; 4:33-38; 5:24;-47; 6:25-71; 8:12; 10:1-18; 11:25-26; 12:23-26; 12:44-50; 14:6-7; 15:9-17; 17:ALL - Beloved Jesus' Prayer For Us.

We will end this session here.

I encourage you to "study" each passage. To receive more knowledge and wisdom, I encourage you to "study" the entire Chapter that contains the passage.

I also encourage you to take your time for you are as The Psalmist (King David) says: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." Psalm 23:5. Partake of your "Heavenly" meal.

I further encourage you to "study" out loud.
Involve ALL your senses, remember you are "studying" "The Living Word"
(The Son - Jesus).

Behold Him with your eyes.

Hear Him (The Word) speaking to you and through you with your ears.

Breathe in deeply His Holy Presence as "The Living Word".

Taste His Words as the Psalmist proclaimed: "How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth" Psalm 119:103.

Feel The Life in "The Living Word".

Open your "Bible" flat on the table or on your lap and place your open hands upon It and feel "The Life" in It. It is "The Living Word".

You will notice that some of the Scriptures are repeated. Please do not skip them. By reading them you allow our Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit of God "The Honor" of building them into your spirit. He can then as our "Helper" bring them to our remembrance at just the "right time".

Thank you for allowing me the honor and privilege of sharing with you.

Until we meet again:
"The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:"
"The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:"
"The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."  Numbers 6:24-26.

Lady Sandra Speaks

My Paternal Grandfather, whose name was John, was a Barber in Akron, Colorado in the early 1900's. Akron was a small town and most of the men were farmers. I was told that in between customers, my Grandfather, would study "The Bible" for hours at a time.

My Grandfather was "Called Home To Be With The Lord" when I was about 6 years old, so I was not able to find out from him the wisdom he received from "The Bible".

As I began to study "The Living Word", I often wondered what was revealed to my Grandfather while sitting at The Feet of our Master Teacher, our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.

One day while studying "The Bible", I found "The Second Epistle of John". As I studied It,it was as though my Grandfather was speaking to me from Heaven. Also The Apostle John referred to as "The Disciple whom Jesus loved."

Though I have no living children, as I continued to study "The Living Word" and have for years been an intercessor, it was revealed to me that my "children" are ALL of us in The Beloved Holy Body of Christ. For we are ALL children of The Most High God through our Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.

As I researched who "The elect (chosen) Lady" was, I found the following from "The Spirit Filled Life Bible" - Thomas Nelson Publishers:


"Author and Recipients"
"...John addresses this second epistle to 'the elect lady and her children.' Indicating that the recipient was a hospitable Christian mother whose children persevere in the faith (v.4). John even includes greetings from her nieces and nephews (v.13). From the designation John gives her in verse 1 (Greek eklekte kyria), many commentators have speculated concerning her personal name, suggesting titles such as 'the elect Kyria,' 'the lady Electa' and 'Electa Kyria.' Others suggest that the designation does not denote an individual at all, but is the personification of a local church. 'Her children' are the members of that church, and 'the children' of her 'elect sister' are the members of the local church in the place from which John is writing. A definite conclusion seems unattainable,and the question remains open."

So as you can see "the elect(chosen)lady" is not known. Therefore being comfortable with both explanations, I humbly receive It as a message to me from Heaven. Thus the change in the name of my Blog.

If you have not done so recently, please study the very important message in 2nd John.

Introduction

"The Bible" is our:
B asic
I nstructions
B efore
L eaving
E arth.


In studying, I use 2 "Bibles":


1. "The Holy Bible", King James Version by Nelson Publishers.


I use the "King James Bible" because I enjoy it and I am able to use "The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Of The Bible" to find words, passages and verses easily. I can also find the words and meanings in the "Hebrew" and "Greek" languages.


2. "The Spirit Filled Life Bible" Edited by Jack Hayford.


"The Spirit Filled Life Bible" is a "Bible" structured for the in depth study of the renewal of The Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit in our lives and in our Churches. It is designed for the student that desires a greater and deeper relationship with God and His Son through The Beloved Almighty Holy Spirit. It is a "New King James Version". It is an excellent "Bible" if you are a "Charismatic".  It is filled with wonderful and enlightening information.



I lovingly received the following "Bible Declaration" on 01/05/07:


This is my "Bible". 
It is The Living Word of Beloved God Almighty. 
It is my Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. 
It is God's WILL for my life and living, 
It is God's PLAN for my life and living through His Only Begotten Son; my Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ, my Beloved Bridegroom, King, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Great High Priest, Author and Finisher of ALL of my Faith, Beloved Best Friend and Beloved Almighty Healer in,through, around and upon me.  
In It I will find my Purpose and my Destiny, AND It will fulfill ALL my needs!



I also use a "Daily Devotional": "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers.  There are different versions, I use "The Classic Edition".


Closing Scriptures: For everyone that crosses your path in life - "Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:1-2


Regarding your Ministers, Pastors and Spiritual Teachers - "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever." Hebrews 13:7-8


"Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief (unhappiness): for that is unprofitable for you." Hebrews 13:17





Closing Prayer: Adapted from: "Faith To Faith", by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland.


Our Confession Of Faith
We believe with all our heart the words of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 22:37-40:

("Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great (most important) commandment.


And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.")

Therefore, in obedience to the written Word of God, releasing our faith in Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and all He`s done for us, we say with our mouth: "We love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind and all of our might. And we love our neighbor as ourself."

Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ has said in John 14:21, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


" Therefore, we also confess: "The Lord our God loves us with all of His heart, all of His soul, all of His mind and all of His might. And Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ loves us as Himself."

We Believe, We Receive And We Are Worthy To Receive,
We Accept It All!
Amen & Amen
Hallelujah!
