"Only Life Changes"

Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. Revelation 21:7 NIV
“Prayer”
Burn through me, O fire of God, and cleanse me of all dross in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

There is always going to be good seeds to plant. Believe it!

Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet with kindness. Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
It reads in Genesis 1:29-30: Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground, everything that has the breath of life in it, I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
The fullest definition of poverty recognizes that to be poverty-stricken is to be overwhelmed by need, unable to meet basic needs. Make a donation today to help meet the basic needs of children living in extreme poverty.
“Going to seed” is, like you say, is when a plant enters the flowering stage in preparation for seed production. Many vegetables, greens, herbs and roots in particular, are past their prime for eating when they reach this stage of growth. They tend to be tough, woody or bitter.
Like wax beans when they are over ripped inside the wax bean will be 4 or 5 dry beans. Dry beans you can boil in water. Poor man’s meal as they say.
It reads in Colossians 2:7 NIV: Rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Dandelions are good Poorman’s food to eat. Flowers: The slight sweetness of the flowers makes it a good choice to use for making dandelion tea, jelly, syrup, and fritters.
Leaves: Use them raw or cooked. Raw leaves from tender young plants are great for making smoothies, juices, and chopping up to add to salads.
Roots: Cook them or dry them. Dandelion roots can be added to soups and stews. Cooking with dandelions is an easy and nutritious way to make use of an edible plant you may have growing in your backyard. From flower to root, the entire plant is edible. Dandelion greens are packed with vitamins A and K and can be used raw or cooked. Vitamin K is critical for your body’s formation of blood clots. Without it, you could bleed to death from a simple cut. It may also help maintain bone strength in older adults. Foods that are particularly high in vitamin K include: Vitamin A is important for the eyes and skin, the immune system, and for normal growth. Can protect Your Eyes from Night Blindness and Age-Related Decline. May Lower Your Risk of Certain Cancers. Supports a Healthy Immune System. Plays a vital role in maintaining your body’s natural defenses. This includes the mucous barriers in your eyes, lungs, gut and genitals which help trap bacteria and other infectious agents. Reduces Your Risk of Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder. Supports Bone Health. Out of all these known vitamins to much can be bad also. But if you have no money and no food. Dandelions and beans. This would be the first thing I would go for to put nutrient in my system so I wouldn’t starve. It reads in Psalm 18:30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
What is sad is we see so many in poverty. Seeing people everywhere who need a roof over their head. I met this guy in the woods that does eat the dandelions and other stuff that grows in the woods. Jim one time had a job, family and a home. He lost his family, his job and his home. Jim also goes to church. Jim don’t want no assistance he makes the choice to get around and he survives. God is going to keep blessing Jim. God also will keep blessing all the others who live in the streets.
I look at these wild plants growing in the yard from the rain. They all of a sudden just sprung up everywhere. I have different plants I can put in containers. Because of the summer heat. I put most of the plants in containers by both doors. So, I could water and feed them on my schedule. Before the rain the grass and everything else was dying except for the plants in the house and by my outside doors. I have a tripod that waters my grass that my son Josh bought me. So, the grass just was dying where the sun really set its heat on it.
It reads in Mark 4:26-29: He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain, first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
One time in my life I have had to live in the park with my children. I found out about the dandelions from my Uncle Teddy. See they can be eating raw to survive. There was no social media to assist me. So, God put others in my path who helped me.
I think well: There is times when we are going to struggle, but God always gives us a way out especially His believers who journey His way. Even if you’re not a believer so you will look to Him and see He is with you through it all.
It reads in Jeremiah 29:11 NIV: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You that You work everything for Your good. I thank You that no one is poor as they walk with You and are guided Your seeds of love and faithfulness. Beneath my feet is proof of Your commitment. You established the earth and set it in motion. Every seed proves of Your reproduction in life. Your creation, Your children and Your greater purpose speaks volumes of Your enduring faithfulness. I believe that I will carry on testimonies of Your holiness to others in my family and not because I am old, but I am bold as You made me. Let my praises grow through my spiritual family as their testimonies add Your light to others. I believe I will speak of Your goodness to those who not yet know You. May I always be a faithful child who imitates the faithfulness of my Father in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Father God let this touch someone’s heart today. Bring Your healing to all lives today. Everyone needs some form of healing, let me be the first to ask for Your assistance without hesitation in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Funny thing happened yesterday. I was walking with my bowl of salad, when this guy reached out to take it and said: Oh, thank you. Just what I wanted. I laughed and he laughed with me. Then I proceeded to sit down and pray with my husband for the food and those who prepared it. I also thanked God for that man with a sense of humor. Everything we do starts from the mind, heart and then mouth. Two main parts that run the whole body and tells it what it is going to do. Didn’t really comprehend this concept till recently. I always work hard and do everything in my own strength and have done nothing but harm myself instead of learning to let go and let God. Example: I can take a label off a jar by scrubbing hard with all my might and get it all the label off the jar. Still there is glue left behind. Another way is to soak the jar, so the label comes off easier. Then take a scrubby and lightly swipe the surface and the glue comes right off and I didn’t have to over work to get the glue off.
So, I said God you know in this life I have always worked and been in fear that I would lose my job or not be good enough. All along Lord You have been with me and I should have known this all along. God Works through the Church. We can’t begin to understand the mind of God, but we can learn a lot about Him through His word. Another way to recognize God at work in your life is if you experience: a desire for God. One of the most common and least recognized ways that God is constantly working in our lives is in giving us a desire for him. It’s easy to think that a desire for God is something that we produce ourselves. Not so! Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. When we over work our bodies, we are destroying the Temple. It reads in 1 Corinthians 6:19, it is stated, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.” This means that our bodies are not our own but of God, and that is why it should be clear and pure of unnecessary impurities.
So, when we apply pressure in our work to destroy our bodies and not work it for the good of God. We only harm ourselves. It is not God that harms us. {The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 8:3}
I take a shovel and dig a baby tree out of the ground, plant it in a container and then for days my foot hurts from all that work and pressure on my foot. When I should have taken my battery-operated saw and sawed around that baby tree about 6 inches or so in the ground and it would have come out much easier to place in a container. It would of taking less time also.
And to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. This is how to work at home. Love that peace and quiet at home. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men. Read: Colossians 3:23-24″ This is so true. When we work to make a paycheck. We have to give it our all. Sometimes more than usual. When knowing we are working for God and not men our lives become much easier and free. It is healthy for the body and mind to work hard, serving God and others with our gifts from the Lord. I believe that eating healthy, and being healthy, strengthens one’s connection with God. This stronger connection with God strengthens one’s conversations with God, through prayer, and in whatever mysterious ways God communicates to us. Taking care of our health is one way that we can be a good witness. You’ll Have More Energy to Do God’s Work: ” For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10.” Let us see that we are God’s masterpiece, created to do the good things that He had planned a long time ago for us to do. When seeking to understand God’s salvation by grace through faith. However, this important statement offers tremendous insight into what God desires after salvation and how we should live with abandon. The first time I heard that expression, “a life reckless abandon,” Reckless abandon with rash, unrestrained impulsiveness, enthusiasm, or zeal. Reckless abandon. What does it mean anyway? Basically, it’s to do something without fear of consequence. Isn’t that a negative connotation? I guess it could be, but what if we apply it to Christian living? If we apply it to Christian living, it means that we follow God without fear of consequences. It means we cast everything aside to follow him. Being without commonsense I thought! Scary! If you look at it with God mind set. We can be enthusiastic about continued conversation with God. Can’t this mean abandoning reckless behavior and living recklessly for God. Giving of yourselves to the poor and helping them. In the spur of the moment giving a donation to the hospitals, church’s, a poor person on the street. I saw this poor man on the street corner. He was selling waters out of a beat-up cooler with ice in it. I gave him $5.00, and he gave us the water in his hand and asked if we wanted another. We said no of course. That man was earning his way and he was doing it recklessly at an intersection. Was he needing help? Yes! Was he working recklessly for Jesus? Yes! It is hot out there. The man was selling cold waters out in the hot sun to people in the comfort of their vehicle’s… He lived under the freeway. God will keep blessing that man working out in that hot sun selling cold waters. {Poor is he who works with a negligent (Careless)hand, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. Romans 12:11}
I like this quote: “I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.” ~Elisabeth Elliot

Elisabeth Elliot (1926-2015) was a missionary and a critically acclaimed author and speaker. For over half a century, her life of obedience, timeless teachings, and best-selling books. She continued to travel and speak all over America sharing her story, her knowledge, and wisdom of God’s Word until her health stopped her in 2004. Elisabeth Elliot lost her first husband to murder in the South American jungle and her second to the ravages of cancer. She felt the deep pain of loss. In The Path of Loneliness, Elliot gives hope to the lonely through tender reflections on God’s love for us and his plans to bless us.
