"Only Life Changes"

Father God, let this message touch someones heart today and let them know You will never leave them nor forsake them I thank You, praise You and give You the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring. Who gives breath to the people on it? And spirit to those who walk in it. Isaiah 42:5

I used to see people who had a tube in their neck when I was growing up. Never knew I would end up with one. When I did. I wished I could really breathe again. I looked forward every day to breathing right again. Praying to God and talking with him every day. He was the only one who understood me. Whereas I couldn’t talk. Now I can talk, and it has been many years living with this hole in my throat. I can’t breathe through my nose or mouth. I practice I hold my finger over the trach tube just to see if I can breathe through my mouth or nose. I look forward to the day I can. I prayed to God to let me talk again. I have been off oxygen 6 years today. I can talk. I have prayed to sing beautiful again. But I still hear my good voice. But I can sing. So, God has been with me every step of the way. He has answered my every prayer. God guide and gives wisdom to surgeons to save lives. I am a proud patient that is proud of all the surgeons with His light He has sent my way. God bless God for giving me His breath as a gift, His unconditional love as a gift and His grace I never deserved. In my case I need a new windpipe, which the procedure can be done. Here is a little history on Tracheotomy: “In Ancient Egypt Tracheotomy was first potentially depicted on Egyptian artifacts in 3600 BC. Hippocrates condemned the practice of tracheotomy as incurring an unacceptable risk of damage to the carotid artery. Warning against the possibility of death from inadvertent laceration of the carotid artery during tracheotomy, he instead advocated the practice of tracheal intubation. Despite the concerns of Hippocrates, it is believed that an early tracheotomy was performed by Asclepiades of Bithynia, who lived in Rome around 100 BC. Galen and Aretaeus, both of whom lived in Rome in the 2nd century AD, credit Asclepiades as being the first physician to perform a non-emergency tracheotomy. Antyllus, another Roman-era Greek physician of the 2nd century AD, supported tracheotomy when treating oral diseases. He refined the technique to be more similar to that used in modern times, recommending that a transverse incision be made between the third and fourth tracheal rings for the treatment of life-threatening airway obstruction.
Breathing is then done through the tube, bypassing the mouth, nose, and throat. A tracheostomy is commonly referred to as a stoma. This is the name for the hole in the neck that the tube passes through. Thomas Fienus (1567–1631), Professor of Medicine at the University of Louvain, was the first to use the word “tracheotomy” in 1649, but this term was not commonly used until a century later. Georg Detharding (1671–1747), professor of anatomy at the University of Rostock, treated a drowning victim with tracheostomy in 1714.
Why did Fabricius recommend a tracheotomy?
This was a straight, short cannula that incorporated wings to prevent the tube from advancing too far into the trachea. He recommended the operation only as a last resort, to be used in cases of airway obstruction by foreign bodies or secretions. Fabricius’ description of the tracheotomy procedure is similar to that used today.
Tracheostomy is one of the oldest, one of the simplest and one of the most valuable operations in surgical practice. Yet, despite its antiquity, it was but rarely performed until the beginning of the 19th century and until less than twenty years ago its use was limited to surprisingly few conditions. Only during the last two decades has tracheostomy come to be accepted in the treatment of lower airway obstruction and for artificial ventilation, and these today constitute the chief indications for its use. For the previous 2,000 years, tracheostomy was used solely for upper respiratory obstruction. The underlying cause of most cases of mouth breathing is an obstructed (completely blocked or partially blocked) nasal airway. Meaning, the more we use our mouths to breathe, the tissues in our noses begin closing up when they’re not in use. Over time you can find yourself breathing through your mouth not only while you sleep, but as you go about your entire day, from morning until evening. This becomes your default, and something we do without thinking about it. Healthy people use both their nose and their mouth to breathe. Breathing through the mouth only becomes necessary when you have nasal congestion due to allergies or a cold. Also, when you are exercising strenuously, mouth breathing can help get oxygen to your muscles faster. Never really realized this. I did when I had sinusitis. I really would say. God knew what He was doing when He made our breathing system. From the nostril to the mouth, to the Stoma. Every way we breathe is a gift. On our difficult days, when breathing is difficult. We have to praise God. Our minds can heal our body’s, but our bodies cannot heal our minds. God gave us our powerful minds to keep in constant conversation with Him. He is the only one who never leaves us. How many times have you asked for what you didn’t want, and it happened. It was wrong, not something you really wanted. But you realized God answered. Then you blamed Him. Hmmm! If we talk right to God He hears also. God is for us. He is never against us. We were meant to really live. Amen. God is so good, and I can never say this too much. God is good all the time. Today embrace His calling on Your life. God is for you, my friend.
Now God breathed into man’s nostril. It reads in this verse: And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, in Your love and in Your infinite mercy You could not give us anything less than to give us Your breath. In giving us Your breath, You expect nothing less of Your children. Just to make right choices and pass Your light in a way that others will believe in You. I love You, thank You and praise You for the very air and life You have given me. I am believing for You to work in others’ lives and guide them back to You. Every moment of every day in the good times and the bad let me always thank You for all You do for me. Only because of You God am I living the good life You have given me. Thank You so much for saving my life. I thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Father God, let this message touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name amen.
It reads in Matthew 5:16, the verse states the following: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven .” Although this verse may seem confusing, it is actually pretty self-explanatory. Even though when I was younger I really thought it to be confusing. As we was not to talk to strangers. People say why you smiling. You have no reason to smile. I always worked hard and just want to get the job done. People say you are just showing off. Ah no! I am doing my job. So pretty much why would I shine my light around men. Then as I got older. I didn’t stick to one verse at a time anymore. I read the bible. See you can read bits and pieces of the bible and not totally understand. So in verse 13 & 14 of Matthew chapter 5 it reads: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, How can it be salty again? So in verse 13 I believe salt heals and stands for righteousness’. Cause the second part of verse 13 it reads: It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. This part of the verse is like sin and how people throw it around like trash and treat people like trash that sin. This is not what Jesus came to the earth for. Jesus came to save the sinner from their sins. In verse 14 it reads: You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. This means that you do right and don’t listen to those remarks that others say to sway you. Keep doing good. Don’t give up. Cause it reads in Matthew 5:15: Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. Yesterday morning as I thought I would like to have my art room back. So I can hang all my paintings.
I took and cleaned out my art room from a person who took it over. I am making it my art room to look beautiful again. To hang all my pictures. Not to do arts and crafts in though. I took a partial wall and corner off a third of the art room. I put a rocking chair, a small lamp stand, a lamp, a bible and my new journal. It is going to be my little prayer room. It looks really good. My prayer closet has become for storage now. But I can breathe better now that it is more open.

“I like the quote from ~ John Bunyan: “Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that roared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.”

{Let’s Pray}
Father God of light, life and peace. Before You is a world that is devastated by crime, conflicts, war, suffering, disaster, distress and death of those who don’t know You. Through the actions and attitudes of selfish men and woman. I believe that the light of Jesus Christ would throw light on a dark world that has chosen to turn its back on the One Who is the true Light of the world and Who brings life and love to all who believe. I believe that You will use me in the corner of the world where You have placed me, to bring the light, the life, and the love of Jesus Christ to a hurting world. Keep me ever mindful that without You I can do nothing, but in the strength and power of Your Holy Spirit, I am adapted to act as Your hands, Your feet, and Your heart, to those in need. I believe that the light of Jesus Christ in my heart may shine brightly before men and women, in such a way that they may see the good works that I do in Your power and strength and glorify You. If there is someone out there in this hurting world who needs You that You will guide someone in their life that will carry them through to You so that their light will be passed to others. I am believing for a healed world of people. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness’, for they will be filled.

Sowing Generously: The Law of Spiritual Causality teaches that there is an underlying cause for our relative degree of blessing from God or non-blessing.
Father God let this touch someone’s heart today. Let them know they are loved and cherished by You. I thank You and praise You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I love eating cucumbers. In salad. Or just wash them and eat them almost whole. I like to carve the seeds out of them and plant them. One cucumber can make several plants. You spread the seeds on a old cookie sheet. Let them dry in two days. You can plant them in individual containers about 1-inch pots. Or you can till your soil where you want to plant them and put the seeds in rows. There is like a thousand or more seeds when dried out. You will be amazed. Because from Spring till the end of Fall you can grow cucumbers. It is something that is a challenge, but it is worth it. Cucumber’s love water. Just saying.
Then if you peel the cucumber peels. You can put them on a cookie sheet and dry the peels in the sun. Once they are dried out you can grind them or break them up. Let me tell you a little secret. If you have children and bugs in your cupboards. Then you take Bay leaves and dry cucumber peels and grind them together. You use the powder of cucumber peels and Bay leaves. Place it under your sinks, in the cupboards, closets in all corners. This will keep roaches and other pests out of your way. And when your children go play under the sink, they won’t get sick. I used to put everything up high. I didn’t want my babies crawling and getting into anything dangerous. You could have the cleanest floors, but babies are like little detectives. Thy would find the tiniest piece of dirt you left behind. Lol! Just saying!
Like green beans you can grow them through to summer on your fence and during Fall whatever green beans you didn’t pick you will have beans. That’s right! Green beans turn into beans that you can cook and make with hotdogs. Just take the beans out of the dried Greenbean covering. Clean them and then boil them. It is a joy that never leaves. Whatever you plant you will reap a great harvest.
My mom used to say when you give away what you don’t need or if you give what others need. It is like Christmas to them. You will get back tenfold. It is so true. We used to go to rummage sales, and it always felt like Christmas getting hand-me-downs perfectly new to us. That is not always going to happen, but you can feel good knowing people are not going without because you gave.
{“Remember this: The person who plants a little will have a small harvest, but the person who plants a lot will have a big harvest. Each of you should give as you have decided in your heart to give. You should not be sad when you give, and you should not give because you feel forced to give. God loves the person who gives happily. And God can give you more blessings than you need. Then you will always have plenty of everything, enough to give to every good work. It is written in the Scriptures: “He gives freely to the poor. The things he does are right and will continue forever.”} “2 Corinthians 9:6–9”

Here is an example. I have watched over the past 30 years these people work hard. A little bit at a time they took probably 24 years building a church and last week after they have been opened, I saw it plowed down. I don’t know if they are building another one. But I have watched as they worked hard with their family. I have been praying for them. They were our neighbors at one point and time, and we didn’t talk. But our children played together, grew up together. But it is only proof that it takes a lot of God’s children to build a church. I am still praying for them. God knows and God will take good care of them. Because they are spiritually rich in Him. As it reads in 2 Corinthians 8:9~ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your awesome gift of Salvation. Guide in me a clean heart and develop in me a generous spirit. You have given us all things richly to enjoy. I am believing to be cheerful, generous and a gracious giver. I am believing this kindness in every area of my life. Guide me to apply the principle of sowing and reaping abundantly, so that others may be blessed in Your light as You guide them to You. I thank You that You have given us all things richly to enjoy and that everything we have come from You. May we never be under the illusion that we can out-give Your over abundant gift of grace. in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. May I give faithfully, cheerfully and generously of my time, my talents and treasures may the motive behind my giving be pure of heart. and ever open to Your critiquing. I thank You so much for Your gift of Salvation and all that You have lavishly bestowed on me freely, by Your grace and love. Help my eyes and ears be open to the needs of others. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: And he that waters shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today I love You and thank You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I remember before the twins were born. I would read the bible out loud and talk to my stomach which is not wrong at all. Babys hear and feel the vibrations. When they were born, I would put their hands together and pray with them. I would be so happy when they started doing this on their own. Too young to realize what it meant. But it was great as they were growing up. I could pray with them thanking God for our food. Nighttime prayers, Singing Christian songs. I always hoped they would be in the choir as they were growing up. Moms have everything planned for their children when it comes to hope. Until we realize they are going to make their own choices which doesn’t include mom. Singing while we’d walk to the park. etc. We love God and our children He gave us to take care of.
Reading these verses: Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 6:5-7

Now God gave us these bodies as tents to protect us. But all and all, when You love God with heart, soul and mind we take care of our bodies because they are temples of the Holy spirit. Which in all reality we take care of what goes in our body’s? We need to get rid of stinking thinking. Be care Full of what we hear and see. God will guide us to know right from wrong. I like these reminders of how I should carry myself and others burdens even straight to God. He has the plan for us.

It is just like when you teach a child how to talk and walk. You get upset if someone teaches them the wrong way. We always have to protect them. Even if they fall because they are first learning. You just want them to learn all the right things. This is how God is with His children.

Let’s read 2 Corinthians 5:1-5.
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Let’s read Colossians 3:12-13.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, thank You for these bodies You have given us as a gift to protect our mind, body and soul from all evil. Submerge my mind, heart and soul in those things which is pure and healthy thinking living. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:14

If you have ever made a chain with yarn by hand. I could teach you how to crochet. My son’s friend Katy asked me if I could teach her. So I showed her how to do the chain and do the single stitch. So when I didn’t have the time. Katy went on You Tube and found out how to further her crocheting. I was amazed at her accomplishments. So it all worked out. She actually learned on her own.
I just love when a plan comes together. Just as someone giving me a bible verse. May of done a kindness for me. Then they say God bless you then I don’t see them again. I remember that bible verse. What I remember of it, I put in the search of my laptop and come up with the verse. God oversees everything.

Colossians 1:17: So I looked it up when I came home. This is all I remembered. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. How amazing is this?
Anyways Made my granddaughter’s afghan and she accidently got a hole in it. She asked me if I could fix it. I took it and fix the whole. So I gave it back to her and she was very thankful that it was like new again. When I make stuff for others, they bring it back to me if it needs to be repaired. This is how we are with God. When something goes wrong we remember that He is there. It is best if we ask God to be the center of our life, give it to Him so He can fix the hole in our lives. It is like when I am crocheting. I have a skein of yarn and it starts coming out both ways. So I have one string I am crocheting with and then one string coming out the other end. I put the string back in the end. Then as I crochet the string comes out again. I have to end my crocheting. Cut the string. Then I take what is left of the skein of yarn. I pull from one end getting the yarn in a pile. Then the other end I start making a ball of yarn. It may get tangled and I have to untangle it. So that I don’t waste the yarn. So once I have my ball of Yarn, I take that end and the end I ended on the blanket and tie it together and start crocheting again. So I finish it. It looks great. You can’t even tell that I had problems Making this blanket.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your word of truth, for Your promises and for revealing Jesus to us through the Holy Bible. I thank You and praise You that Jesus set aside His eternal glory and came to dwell among us as a Man and identified with our sinfulness so that by faith we could be forgiven of our sins and be identified with His righteousness. Thank You that in Him we live and move and have our being and that He holds all things together by the strength of His great and mighty power. Thank You that in Christ we have been made children of God. Through time and into eternity. Jesus’s resurrected Life became our new eternal, resurrected life, and we became part of a new and perfect creation in Him, simply by God’s grace, through faith our sins were washed away by His precious blood in His Precious Name Amen.

My husband told me that it was cold in the house cause the Whirlybird needed to have a piece of cardboard in it or a piece of wood to keep it from going. I was like what are you talking about? He was like if you don’t stop it, the cold air will come in and then you are wasting your time heating this house. So I am looking around for a whirlybird. Why will the cold air come in I asked? He said well we could put a garbage bag over it. I said why are you going to suffocate the whirlybird? He laughed at me and showed me what he was talking about. We went outside. Outside on top of the roof there is three whirlybirds that twirl that are a vent to keep the hot air out of the house during warm weather he said. In the Winter it has to be stopped from the cold coming in the house. LOL! How funny. So he showed me in the attic the inside of the whirlybird. So he gave me a piece of folded cardboard. I put the cardboard in that whirlybird. Then he said he was going on the roof to do the same thing. I said oh no your not! Never realize how much a man does in the house. Till his wife won’t let him do it no more. So I can learn all that he does do. So I climbed on the roof like a champ, but inside I was saying. God please don’t let me fall. Inside my heart I said help me and keep me safe thank You. I got on and off the roof two times. God hears our cry for help when we think we can’t do something. God is concerned about us. He will keep us safe and He will guide the right people in our lives. His timing is perfect. God established a new covenant and a new promise that His Holy Spirit would be a permanent gift of those who believe in Him. The Holy Spirit intervenes on our behalf. Helps us in our weakness.

Romans 8:26

Let’s read James chapter 5:7-20;
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I love You, thank You and praise You that You hear our prayers. Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit You who hears our prayers. I am believing for others who don’t know You will come to know You today. Assist them and myself to be more aware of Your presence in all that we do, hear, speak and see everyday of our lives. I want to keep up unity with You and to walk in Your light. Guide me to recognize my faults and quickly seek Your forgiveness. Guide me also to confess my faults to those I have wronged, and I believe that I may maintain an attitude of prayer through my heart and keep learning to pray passionately in spirit and truth. I thank You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
Our wasting away is momentary because it is not eternal, it does not last forever. By faith we endure our wasting away without losing heart because we have God’s Word that Jesus has brought us the forgiveness of our sins and everlasting life in heaven.

We have 3 dogs. Molly she is blind and 18 years old. I take her outside and she walks around, and I see her finding me so I will walk away from her. She always seems to find me no matter how far I get from her. She has this sense about her. I take a biscuit and put it near her nose and put it like a foot away from her. She finds it with her nose. When she is in the office, and I go in the office. She knows and knows exactly where I am, and she lays down by my feet and waits for me to know she is near. Then I just bend over and pat her.
The other two dogs can see well. Infact, they do not have to see when someone comes to the door. I mean no one even knocks and they are barking. They sense without even seeing that someone is nearby. So, they bark.
Now first thing in the morning. When I just step out of bed. They get right up. I hear them and they are right at the door ready to go out. So funny. Faith is the vision of the heart; it sees God in the dark as well as in the day. So just as dogs whether blind or not. They know my system. They know when there is danger or there is love. I always say that the reason they are named dogs! Dogs! This is because they spell God backwards, because they didn’t want to name dog God. They are the closest to God! I believe this. I believe God sent dogs as friends to let us know that He is even closer. I know I cannot count all the animals I have had in my lifetime. Each of them brought friendship and purpose in my life. Dogs Will Keep You Active Having a dog is good for your health as they absolutely must get exercise. A dog’s company also improves the self-esteem of its owner because of its unselfish love and affection. Having a dog is that they’ll guard your home and your loved ones. You treat them well they will treat you well. Also, when I get upset, they know. When I sing to the radio and dance, they jump all over me except Molly. I will dance with her in my arms. I have a branch that I put a tennis ball at the end, and I hold it up in the air and Pongo Trys to get it. He jumps up in the air. Lol! I play kick ball with him. Then Georgio I throw the tennis ball in the air, and he will jump up and get it in his mouth. So funny. Those balls don’t last. We are forever getting toys and balls. This is the joy that comes from having dogs in our life. Things of this world, such as riches, honors, pleasures, profits which are visible to, and strike the senses of a natural man or woman, and are temporal, endure but for a time, are transitory, fleeting, and quickly gone. What is really great is having God in our life. Weight of Glory. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. It reads in Hebrews 13:5-6; Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You that You are so big! You are so much greater than any of us give You credit for.

I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. “Matthew 5:16
What should be seen are the good deeds that we perform. Obedience. Attitude of our hearts is very important. We need to look to God in everything. Sometimes there is unexpected situations that comes at us, that will change our attitude. We must stand strong in the midst of what Satan throws at us. Cause the Lord does not do this to us. Being a light for God pleases Him. Being a light for Christ brings satisfaction. It’s all a part of our mission to others also. You’re on a mission, you have a goal in mind and God is guiding you to be a light to others. No matter how much we know there is always so much more to learn from God on being a light to others. Like He will guide someone in your life who annoys you or needs something you can’t help them with. This is when you pray right then and there for them. There is always a way you can be a light to others. God knows. He sees and hears. So, when it feels difficult remember God will make away in their lives. Ask God to give You clear direction. Just remember you never lose your light. What is really intriguing is that you get to see God work and see your light in action. May not be today. You will see the light. Especially if you journal and look back on stuff you wrote about and see where God worked in those days. As we know and walk with God, we will leave the light He has given us everywhere we go.

{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your light that shines through to others and myself. I believe that the light of Christ that’s in my heart may shine brightly before all, in such a way that they may see the good works that You do through me in Your power and strength. Open my mind and heart to learn constantly from You. Let my silent prayers for others be guided in their life in a way that they will lift to You, and they will come to know You, thank You, praise You and love You as I do. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our LORD. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”

Nehemiah 8:10

I think on this verse. It gets me enticed on wanting to go help others. Seeing if they need prayer. Or they just need a listening ear. Helping a mom that is struggling. Helping the elderly who have no one to take them to the doctor or they just need a friend. Someone they can trust. In this life. I have been there when no one cared. Maybe they just didn’t have the time for me. I always made the time for others. There was times in my life I couldn’t get to those in need or who was far from me. So I just pray that God will send someone to help them. This verse has always spoke volumes to me when I really grasped it. Before that I would worry about everything instead of praying about everything. Praying makes a big difference and action makes a big difference when you go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. Joy, gladness or giving. The root word for joy in this context means to rejoice or to make glad. “Strength” in the same verse is a Hebrew word meaning “a place or means of safety, protection refuge, or stronghold.” The joy and the thanksgiving may be general. Let the poor have reason to rejoice as well as you.

Is this just food and drink. Or is this Prayer and action also. If we teach those to pray for themselves and others are we not for filling Gods purpose of living a eternal life of purpose.

When the Lord Returns: What shall I be doing?

{Let’s Pray}

Father God, I thank You and praise You for this verse that can make all people rejoice in Your works weather they believe in You or not. That You guide those who believe in You to share with those who don’t believe, That they may come to know and love you also through the thanksgiving of others. I thank You and praise You that You are my joy and my strength. I thank You and praise You that there is no condemnation to those that are in Jesus Christ and thank You that Your grace is sufficient for Me. Keep me to stay faithful to You. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:10

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I love reading Psalms most of the time. Whether reading a certain verse or just reminiscing over the truths of David. I pray that like David, my hope will be built on nothing less than the Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect righteousness. Thank You that my salvation does not depend on what I have done but on Who Jesus Christ is and what He has done on my account. There is so many that are confused in this world. Confused about what is right and what is wrong. I know that as long as we walk with You Lord and in Your light that the devil has no foot hold. God has given you all authority over the enemy. So, when Satan tries to send people your way, rebuke him, send him packing, and remind him that he must go back where he belongs, under your feet! Tell Satan get though behind me. These are five ways God promises to deal with our enemies. Remember, like any other promise, they require obedience on our part. When your enemy has fallen, do not rejoice, and when he is overthrown, let not your heart leap for joy. Do not be happy when your enemy falls, and do not feel glad when he stumbles. If thine enemy should fall, rejoice not over him, neither be elated at his overthrow. “Talk with your mind before you talk with your tongue. The mind is powerful to heal the body. Heal your relationship and heal others. The body cannot heal the mind it has no get up and go, without the mind. Pray for your enemies that they may be healed and come to know and love Jesus.
It reads in Psalm 7:1-17 “LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me, or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me. LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands— if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe— then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust. Arise, LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God, decree justice. Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high. Let the LORD judge the peoples. Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure, you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day. If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows. Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made. The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads. I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.”
I like this quote: “You can change your world by changing your words. Remember death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Joel Osteen)
Who felt persecuted in Acts 26:14-19: (Let’s read it and find out: And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutes thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks {The prick or goad was a pointed stick that was used to urge some stubborn animal to move. The stick was made of wood or metal}. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:) If we put it all together, we discover that God told Paul that he was only hurting himself in his effort to eliminate Christians. He was unknowingly opposing God. Just saying!

{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for the example that David set when he was pursued by his enemies, falsely accused, and persecuted for righteousness’ sake. I thank You and praise You that my hope is in You and that You Lord lead my righteousness’. I thank You and praise You for Your promise to free all Your people who are unjustly accused or have been fiercely pursued by the enemy of our soul. Give me a heart that trusts You no matter what difficulties or dangers may cross my path. Let me keep praying, keep being Your light to others and myself. Let my mind and mouth speak truth. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
