Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

This video is worth watching. It touched my heart to the point of tears. She really spoke a lot of truth. I hope you will find this heart moving as well. Maybe someone is dealing with some of these issues she speaks about. This is truly powerful! GOD bless you!

Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

I have wonderful news! Last week a friend of the family told me that he has given his life to CHRIST, and yesterday I recieved a letter from my uncle who is in prison, he also recieved CHRIST! I am beside myself! I have been praying for so long for my loved ones and when it happens...well...I bursting right now!


Kairos, a prison ministry was there to take the love of JESUS to my uncle and all who are within the prison walls. My uncle answered GOD's call...PRAISE be to our GOD who is calling the whole world to HIMSELF. Now, Dale and David are among the sheep!

I am really grateful for the Kairos ministry for all they do in being obedient to the KING of KINGS going into the darkest pit of the hardest hearts and reaching them for CHRIST...thus setting the captives free. They may be physically held captive, but spiritually, they who have answered GOD's call, are all set free.

Isn't it funny, GOD will allow people to go to prision to be set free...PRAISE be to GOD our KING and our SAVIOR!

Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like. Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and said, 'Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today.’

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. 'Oh,' she said, 'on the other side of the paper is a picture of JESUS. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.'

Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center

Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio, Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses.

The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.

While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his checkbook out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.

The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question is, why do: Brad Pitt, Madonna, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood fluff make front page news with their ridiculous antics and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio. Thank you Denzel! GOD bless you!

Happy Veterans Day!

Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

I want to take time out to personally thank all who serve our Country in the Armed Services.

There is so much war history here in Europe, and I am continuously reminded of the fallen here. It saddens my heart to think of the many thousands at rest here in Europe. Many who will never see their families again, and the families who will never see their loved ones. People were freed from tyranny because of the ones who served sacrificially.

My heart is also saddend by the fallen in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also want to lift up prayers for the ones who are currently in battle over there. May GOD watch and protect you all.

I am very thankful GOD has shielded my husband from harm during his deployments. My heart goes out to all military families.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SERVE! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

More and more it is becoming the social norm to offend Christians. It is socially accepted to stand up to Christians and demean the Christian faith, but if Christians defend the ONE TRUE GOD, Christians are hauled into court. It is happening all over the world. A Christian couple got into a friendly debate with a Muslim in England about the things of GOD, and the Christian couple were arrested.

We need to pray for our brother and sister to continue in faith, not giving into the pressures of the evil one.

May GOD continue to watch over and protect them. PRAISE the LORD! HE will never leave nor forsake them...THAT IS A PROMISE FROM GOD!

To all who are suffering through a trial.

In a time of sadness due to the tragedy in Fort Hood, I want to post this video as a reminder to us that during our most horrific times in our lives, GOD will never leave us nor forsake us. Yes, GOD of the universe is very interested in what happens to us here on earth.

Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

I am on my way to take a long hot bath, I will be back tomorrow. I have missed you very much!

GOD bless you all!

Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you!

Yesterdays post about Ray Comfort’s “The Way of The Master” got me a few “unsatisfied” comments. They referred to Ray and Kirk as abrasive, disturbing and ineffective.

I believe a few of them were Christians, (hard to tell by just a comment) which bothers me because when it comes to the cause of CHRIST we need to be rooting for each other. Ephesians 6:12 says… that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Brothers and Sisters should not say horrible things against another in CHRIST. If you have an issue with a brother or sister in CHRIST, then you must Biblically prove what they are doing is wrong. Then approach him/her in love. If you come against a brother or sister unjustly, and/or unloving, then you are letting the enemy use you to tear down the kingdom of GOD.

They called Ray and Kirk abrasive. When Ray and Kirk are witnessing they use the Ten Commandment’s to reveal the sin of the person, and then reveal Jesus as SAVIOR. I am not sure how they could say they are abrasive, but I think it’s because they come out and ask if the people have lied, stolen, or committed adultery. Let’s look at what John 4:7-26 say’s… A woman of Samaria came to draw water. JESUS said to her, “GIVE ME a drink.” For HIS disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to HIM, “How is it that YOU, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. JESUS answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of GOD, and who it is who says to you, “Give ME a drink, you would have asked HIM, and HE would have given you living water.” The woman said to HIM, “SIR, YOU have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do you get that living water?” “Are YOU greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?” JESUS answered and said to her, “Who ever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” The woman said to HIM, “SIR, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.” JESUS said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” JESUS said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ “for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” The woman said to HIM, “SIR, I perceive that YOU are a prophet.” “Our fathers worshipped on this mountain and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.” “You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is when the true worshippers will worship the FATHER in SPIRIT and TRUTH.” The woman said to HIM, “I know that Messiah is coming”
(who is called CHRIST). “When HE comes, HE will tell us all things.” JESUS said to her, “I who speak to you am HE”

Luke 18:18-23 says… Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” So JESUS said to him, “Why do you call ME good? No one is good but ONE, that is, GOD. You know the commandments: ‘Do no commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ Honor your father and your mother.’” And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.” So when JESUS heard these things, HE said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow,” But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful for he was very rich
.

If we would have had a rolling camera on JESUS at those times, we would see exactly what Ray is doing. JESUS with the woman at the well, started talking to her about the natural, then HE addressed her adultery, (using the commandments to convict her heart) HE then swung the conversation to the spiritual and finally revealing HIMSELF. Do you think JESUS sounded a little abrasive, disturbing, or do you think HE was ineffective?
The woman at the well believed and went to town telling others of her testimony. JESUS definitely had an effect on her.

JESUS went directly to the Ten Commandment’s, when He was talking to the Rich Young Ruler. JESUS addressed his idolatry (the second commandment) with his money, trying to convict his heart (and he already knew who JESUS was, but the ruler chose his money.) This shows that not all who hear the message of CHRIST will accept HIM, for the worldly desires are too attractive.

If one does not truly understand they are a sinner, they will not understand the sacrifice and why they need saved and from what. What does the BIBLE say converts the soul? Psalm 19:7 says…The law (Ten Commandments) of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul. Ray and Kirk are out there doing the work of the LORD. They use the Law to convert the soul and then reveal JESUS’ forgiveness. Most “Christians” do not share their faith at all with anyone. Many people have come to know JESUS through their faithful service by going to the streets and witnessing. The comment about them being ineffective is incorrect. Tell that to all the people who have a relationship with JESUS because of their obedience. Ray and Kirk are definitely, very effective.

Not only are they effective in bringing people to CHRIST, but they are effective in making people very upset with them. Why are they so good at making others upset? 1Corinthians 1:18 says…For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of GOD.

2 Corinthians 2:14 says…But the natural man does not receive the things of the SPIRIT of GOD, for are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. It is not Ray and Kirk that the unsaved are really attacking, it is the message. Christians who attack them are out of line and they should know better. Christians do not attack, we show love.

Those who are attacking Ray and Kirk do not understand that GOD has set them in motion. You may not like their way of witnessing, but don’t blast them, pray for them if you think they are wrong, and also pray that GOD would open your mind of understanding if you are the one in error.

God uses the weak to confound the strong. He uses the simple to confound the wise. He uses the obscure man to confound the proud. Why? Because we were created to glorify God.
Let’s glorify our HEAVENLY FATHER by getting along with one another in one body working together for the purposes of GOD. Remember, LOVE is the greatest commandment of all.

DISCLAIMER:
I welcome comment’s, but I would appreciate if we could curb the insults to one another. My blog is of peace and love. I know the world does not reflect love much, but I want to show the LOVE OF CHRIST here on this blog site.

If there is any use of foul language I will immediately delete it.

I encourage debate, but being mean or bullying others will not be tolerated.

I love the LORD and it is my hope that all will come to know the SAVING GRACE OF JESUS. If not, you may look around, but be graceful.

GOD Bless You!
