For Real!

Are we really entitled to anything? Yes we do have the spirit of entitlement. It is easy to look at others and see what is wrong with them; however, we do not take a good look at ourselves....nor do we want to admit to ourselves either, we have many faults also!  In Mark7:1,2 (TLB) it says, "Don't criticize and you won't be criticized yourself. Why worry about a speck in someone else's eyes, when you have a board in your own". We do have a right, by choice, to live a blessed life of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; which is the Fruit of the Spirit! Wow, seems like a lot; however, we thrive on impure thoughts, jealousy, selfishness, conflict, complaining, criticism, anger, and injustice.......which leads to a life filled with severe dysfunction!

I have heard it's "hard" more than I want to for someone to think positive. REALLY? It's not hard it's our own selfish motive........because it's following our own feelings or our fears (Which Joyce Meyers defines fear as false evidence appearing real).........I want what I want when I want it! Correct? ............Say it with me, Yes, that is correct! We put our own needs in place of others, our own desires in place of others and our own wants in place of others.....even some of us women overlook their children's needs because they are so self indulged.

I am not saying, not to do good things for yourself, not to take care of your body (which is God's temple), or not to value you, but when a decision has to be made, and there is a husband and children involved, then it becomes "what is best for us versus what is best for me" The Fruit of the Spirit starts in the home. If there is not peace in your house, then you cannot live in peace, if there is not love in your house, then you cannot give love, if there is not gentleness in your house, then you cannot be gentle. God said, I have given you everything you need......it is already within us when we receive Christ as our Savior.

He says try me! I dare you to try him and see how your life will change from Glory to Glory (little by little) for the good of your household and those around you. However, if your home depicts a life of conflict and you think others are not aware of what goes on behind closed doors, think again, God knows......He knows all, sees all, and heals all! Let Him in, so your life can begin anew and brand new! God Loves You and I Love you too! Have a Blessed Day!

 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (KJV)

Appetizer # 6 - Dreams

Appetizer #6 Dreams - Images in the mind For years, I would have the same dream of entering a beautiful mansion and I could remember being awestruck of how beautiful it was. I would marvel at the quality of its craftsmanship.  I would slowly walk down the beautiful marble staircase into the basement.  Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was this black door that had a little window on it. Imagine going into a dungeon and the only way anyone could see out was through this peep hole and vice versa.  When I went to open the door, an evil spirit would come near me and I would wake up immediately! As I mentioned this dream went on for years, until I realized that it was the devil. As soon as I confronted him that he will no longer allow me to live in fear of God's blessings and that he had no power over me either, the dream stopped immediately. I know that my ways are not God's ways and my thoughts are not God's thoughts, but to live a life filled with God's ...

It's Dusty in Here!

Yes ma’am----It’s time to clean house! Nope not that kind of house cleaning~ I’m talking about the junk we fill our minds with - - - such as:  worry, doubt, fear, anger, hate, resentment, unforgiveness, selfishness, hurtful words, lust, and irresponsibility!

I’d be glad to assist you. Just let me know in what area you need help with.

Biblical Conviction Series Part 4 of 4

In the final Biblical Conviction Series, I had in my mind who and what to present; however, God led me to read the book of Joshua. After reading just a few chapters, it is evident that Joshua is truly a man of biblical conviction. In the book of Joshua as you read Joshua Chapter 1, you will find in Chapter 1:6 “ Be strong (confident) and of good courage”, Chapter 1:7 “Only you be strong and very courageous”, Chapter1:9 “Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous”, and Chapter 1:18 “Only be strong, vigorous, and of good courage”.  Now I’m sure you are wondering why God reminded Joshua four times in Chapter 1 to be strong, confident and of good courage; I did also, until God revealed to me why He continued to remind Joshua of obtaining and maintaining these characteristics.  “Only be strong and very courageous, that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to t...
