For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.~

But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.
And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. ~

~ WOW! It has truly been a looooong time since I have even opened this page up ... mainly due to some serious issues that I was not letting the Lord deal with .... note to self, never interrupt the Holy of Holies while HE is working, you can NOT help God!

I am so very thankful that God is patient and that HE revealed that to me and that I am now able to let HIM guide me and take care of all my needs. No matter what those needs are.

Isn't it amazing how strong we humans feel the need to defend ourselves when over and over and over again we read in scripture that the Lord is our defense - AMEN!

I pray I no longer fall into that decieving trap by satan that "I" need to defend myself, I DON'T, the great I AM does that for me and I will "be still" and know that HE is God!

The Lord has revealed so many things to me in that last couple of years and here in the last few months as well.
I now see in my life things, circumstances, and most importantly ... individuals for who and what they are, and I am grateful. I will pray for them and my circumstances that is all I can do.

Thank you Jesus for opening my eyes yet again!!

With the Lord's help I will resume our daily post, some verses, some videos but always something to learn and grow in Word of God!
May You, Lord, have all the honor, praise and glory! ~

Disappearance ...

Pin It

I would like to first apologize to all my readers (and lots of you I know personally even though I've asked you not to disclosed yourself for privacy sake.) for not keeping up with this blog. It was not my intention to leave it in limbo. It just did not feel right to me to be quoting Scripture to others when I was having such a hard time with them myself. I can not be a hypocrite to the Word of God or to myself.

I have had a heavy heart in these last 6-7 months and I have been taught many things ... the hard way!
People once trusted - betrayed us, those that were once held dear - used us, those that were taken in with confidence - we have had to watch bear false witness against us KNOWINGLY, those that we love - have spewed out hatred towards us .... all this is heartbreaking and hurts us immensely but I rest in the Lord and know that HE is our defense and is our refuge in this present times of trouble.

I will admit I have had a REALLY hard time trying to make sense out of all this? Trying to understand how people can do this to one another and still name themselves followers of Christ? Claiming to have the love of Christ in them but showing the complete opposite? I have been angry, confused, bewildered? and just plain tired! ....
But alas I am not called to judge nor to be angry but in the words of our Saviour ... Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; .....

So I have purposed to do this PRAY PRAY PRAY, not just for those who have hurt us but for ourselves that we may be named blameless in the sight of God! So that the Holy Spirit which dwells in me can convict me of my wrong doings, can answer the prayers that I send before the Throne room, and can also give me peace when dealing with individuals that are acting outside of God's will. I need the Holy Spirit guiding me and if bitterness, resentment, and anger are going to hinder the Holy Ghost in all these things (which we know it does!) ... then I want none of those things in my life.
My life on this earth should be spent loving, praising, honoring, and lifting God's name on high! And after that, it's about loving my neighbor more than myself!
There are soooo many individuals that have died willingly to spread the Gospel and have died gladly so that others would know the love and salvation of Christ ... why would I waste my time on this earth in perpetual bitterness when this will only hinder my effectiveness for Christ! No, I'd rather go about my Father's business and leave childish attitudes and behaviors to the children.

So, as I sat reflecting and meditating on all these things, asking the Lord to give me peace about all of this and asking Him to defend us in a situation that others had placed us between a rock and a hard place where we can not defend ourselves .... as always my God is faithful and this is what He shared with me ....

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: ....

This gave me great peace!! I will be still and wait on the Lord .... He is God, the One and Only True Living God and He will in His time bring to light all that has been hidden and all lies that have been told. "I" do not need to do anything, the Lord does not need "my" feeble help for Scripture clearly tells us that Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Once again I am humbled by my own human flesh and wanting to do my part in fixing things that I should know better and know that the Lord will take care of it.

As far as defending us, again Scripture is again very clear that I need not do anything because ... Romans 12:19-21 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

As far as forgiveness goes, of course I forgive .... I forgive because I have been forgiven Mark 11:25-26 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. and the Lord teaches us to Ephesians 4:26 ... let not the sun go down upon your wrath: and Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

I will do the will of my Father in heaven for it is Him that I seek to please (Hebrews 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.) and it is His Word that I wish to follow. James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
I close with this final thought ... I have become increasingly aware that the 3 most important things that I need to do in this life. Obiviously there are more but to build a firm foundation these are what the Lord has brought to my spirit!

• To accept Christ as our Lord and Saviour. *I have*
  
• To love the Lord with all our hearts, mind and soul. *I do*
  
• To love our neighbors more than ourselves. *I will!!*
  

My Love to all and may the Lord bless each and every one you! Remember that life is just too short, we are not promised tomorrow so make sure that you are right with God and that all those around you know that you love them!
Colossians 3:14-15 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
