Pray, Vote, & Stand

The Truth, Jesus In one week we Americans will elect our next United States President. The FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL urges us to vote fully informed. https://prayvotestand.org Party Platform Guide Trump versus Biden on Issues Trump Accomplishments Voter Guides Voter Registration PRAYER Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  John 14:6 Declare that the light of Truth will dispel any darkness and expose the lies. “In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”  John 1:4-5 We declare Lord, that our cities are blessed with an increased awareness of Your Presence and Truth that dispels all darkness.  Ps 36:9 Father God, we ask that those who oppose Your heart, Your ways would encounter Jesus.  Acts 8 12-13 O God… that

Follow The Leader

Jesus, Only You In your daily time with God, I’m sure you’ve found favorite authors and speakers.  Do you know of Sarah Young and her “Jesus Calling” material?  My introduction to Sarah was her devotional, “Jesus Calling”, which I won as a door prize in 2012.  Her daily messages changed my relationship with Jesus – it brought HIM closer to me.  Since then I have given several copies as gifts.  Each lady has had the same reaction, “How does He know?  He is talking just to me!” In 2015, I purchased Sarah’s devotional, “Jesus Today”.  I enjoyed it for two years, then set it aside.  I got it out last year and kept it in my daily material again this year.  Today I share with you Sarah’s writing for October 17th.  It speaks to me as I go through new Toastmaster challenges as well as this Continuing Covid Craziness.  This

Dare

To Hug Him With Your Heart Happy or sad, good or bad – Dare to say what would Jesus say. Dare to do what Jesus would do! “Dare to trust Him!  Dare to follow Him!  Then discover that the forces that blocked your progress and threatened your life become, at His command, the very materials He uses to build your street of freedom.”  F. B. Meyer Have you come to the Red Sea place in your life, Where, in spite of all you can do,There is no way out, there is no way back, There is no other way but through? Then wait on the Lord with a trust serene Till the night of your fear is gone; He will send the wind, He will heap the floods, When He says to your soul, “Move on”. And His hand will lead you through – clear through – Ere the watery

God in the USA

Our Christian God Dr. Robert Jeffress, Pastor of the First Baptist Church Dallas, presented a comprehensive message on the roots of Christianity of, in, and for the United States of America. Televised 6/28/20. The Scripture for his message is Psalm 33:12 — Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. “God is no respecter of people or nations. The nation that reverences God, will be blessed by God. The nation that rejects God, will be rejected by God. The choice is ours.”  Dr. Jeffress The following is taken directly from his message – these are his words.  To Dr. Jeffress I say, Thank You for doing all of this research for me!  My comments are noted with **. America was founded as a Christian Nation Historical Evidence — Spiritual Beliefs of the Founders: 52 of the 55 men @ Constitutional Convention were Orthodox

Living Water

Outside, Inside, Within We moved onto our “farmette” nearly thirty years ago.  Our well was new at that time.  My husband, Thomas The Big Guy, has been saying we need a new well.  Why?  “The old one will give out soon.  It’s too shallow.  Etc.”  In July, 2019, I called a well driller; he came right out, investigated, looked us up on the county website, and called back – they’d be here soon. They finally showed up to begin drilling at the end of August.  It was a rainy August that year, but they drilled – deeper, and deeper.  Finally, they decided there was no water there – we must choose a different location.  They drilled the second well during a somewhat rainy October.  At last!  We had a new well! July, 2020 brought us stinky, smelly water with a blackish discoloration.  It was most unpleasant.  We had an analysis

Find Peace With The Lord All of my numbers were perfect!  Get this – my oxygen was at 100!!  Now THAT’s perfect!  Not bad for me at 73!! Remember, in 2010 I nearly died from an oxygen level in the 60s!  Woo! Hoo!  I’m as good as new!! There is LIFE in LOVING Our LORD!! You don’t have to change; you will WANT to change. Carry out God’s Guidance with pleasure and peace. Officers of my Toastmaster Club are discussing, via email, how to meet for our Officer Meeting — yes, HOW  —  In person or online.  I panicked — but I didn’t know why!  Yes, I DID — things weren’t going MY way.  I was watching Joyce Meyer — it was my God Time!  I should address this issue! I turned off the TV and called our Club President.  Forty-five minutes later each of us had cried a bit,

ASK

Have Faith and Believe Life with Jesus begins by believing in Him and asking Him into your heart.  Such an “asking” is often called “The Sinners Prayer” or “The Prayer of Salvation”.  The Bible reveals no specific prayer for that purpose.  Jesus tells us to “Ask and You Will Receive”.  John 16:24 “As I read The Bible, Jesus sets me free from false teachings, enslaving thoughts, and limiting ideas.  With Jesus, the possibilities go far beyond what I can imagine.”  Marlene Legaspi-Munar, Mornings With Jesus, 8/18/20 While my previous message of 8/20 was posting, I was watching a Billy Graham event from 1993.  He gave me another prayer to pass on to you! “Lord, I have sinned.  I am sorry for my sins.  I am willing to change my way of life.  I come by faith.  I don’t understand it all, but by faith I receive You as my Lord,

Jesus Because…

Lord, You Are My Everything! We often hear the phrase, “He’s in a better place.” when someone loses a loved one. Really?  Did he believe in Jesus?  Was Jesus his savior? Jesus is the only Ticket!  You can’t get to Heaven without Him! It is so easy to begin a relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ. When we ask Him into our hearts, He will come.  We receive Him, and He will live in us. “Oh no!  I don’t want to change!  I don’t want to live like that!” You don’t have to change because you will want to change. It will happen – sometimes a “pop” at first – you feel something different. Gradually, over time, your thoughts and attitudes will change, your hopes and dreams will change, and so will everything in between – gradually.  It feels GOOD! Grannies, guide your young ones to Christ Jesus. Encourage them to “give

Why Jesus?

JESUS—THEN, NOW, FOREVERMORE! Ours is a Christian nation, founded on the Christian Bible by men who believed in the Wisdom, the Power, and the Holiness of The Most High God – Three in One – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Growing up in the 1950s HE was fully accepted – In God We Trust!  No questions!  No doubts!  God The Father Almighty is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Christmas celebrates The Birth of Jesus Christ, Our Savior.  Easter is the celebration of His Resurrection – Our Risen Lord LIVES!!  Hallelujah! Those  who believed, allowed those who doubted to speak up.  They have the right to their opinion.  When their denials and accusations became vicious, we shied away.  They’re harmless.  Let them have their say. Now they have nearly taken over!  They have indoctrinated our youth with Darwin’s theory and the pagan view of our country; they’re rewriting our

One Day Can Change Your Heart Hello friend. How do you fertilize the Seeds that are planted and growing in you?  Be sure you spend Daily Time With God.  Be excited to learn more!  Stop, Look, & Listen!  Keep the bubbles in your belly!  Keep the glow on your face. Keep yourself “Full of The Word”. Outside sources can steer you to topics/places/lessons that you “never knew”. Sometimes it’s obvious that Holy Spirit is speaking to you — everyone has a different perspective on the same topic.  It’s exciting how you’ll find a special message when you least expect it.  Here’s what He blessed me with one day in June. I don’t recall what was going on in my life, but that day, at that hour, this was a BIG HUG for me! Just what I needed. JESUS LIVES!!  OUR GOD IS ALIVE!! The Resurrection of Christ is the whole
