Hello all! My name is Donna and I am a novice to the blogging world. So, be patient with me. I am not sure what I am doing, but I know as time goes on I will get the hang of it.
I hope to just write about my day to day happenings and tell others how GOD has blessed me in that day. I hope to also get to know my brothers and sisters in CHRIST whom I do not know yet, while leading others to the CROSS so they too will come to know the SAVING GRACE of JESUS. I WANT MORE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!!
Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you!
I am a big fan of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. Do you remember Kirk Cameron from "Growing Pains"? He played Mike Seaver. Kirk is a true, Bible Believing, Christian. Ray Comfort is an evangelist from New Zealand. Ray and Kirk take the GREAT COMMISSION ( to take the gospel to every creature),very serious. They love GOD and they love their fellow man. They love other's so much, they go to the street's to witness to try to bring them to the understanding of why they need to be reconciled to GOD. Some choose CHRIST and some take their freewill and run away from CHRIST.
They Have a program called "The Way of The Master". The Way of The Master is a program that teaches how to witness the way JESUS did. If you want to learn how to become an effective witness for CHRIST, go to www.thewayofthemaster.com. On this site you will see video's of Ray and Kirk on the street trying win souls,and other video's such as Hells Best Kept Secret ( everyone needs to see this video) You will see study tools, a store where you can purchase very unique, but effective gospel tract's, and learn the tools of becoming an effective witness.
I have been studying Way of The Master for two years and it is awesome! I encourage everyone who calls themselves "children of GOD" to get out and tell others about CHRIST. If we do not, we are letting people go to the lake of fire. How can I let others go into the lake of fire when I have HEAVEN as my home? If we truly love GOD and our fellow man, we will not let fear stand in our way, but let GOD, through The Way of the Master be our guide.
This clip below is so powerful. Please watch! I hope you like Ray, I think he is a great example of how we all should be. PRAISE GOD!!
GOD BLESS!

In Ephesians 6:10-20 NKJV says...
My Brethren, be strong in the LORD and in the power of HIS might. Put on the whole armor of GOD, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkenss of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of GOD, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD of GOD; praying always with all supplication in the SPIRIT, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
The next armor piece is Righteousness which is the state of being right with GOD; justification; the work of CHRIST, which is the ground of justification. Psalm 119:40 says, Behold, I long for YOUR precepts; Revive me in YOUR righteousness. Psalm 23:3 (Amplified Bible) says, HE refreshes and restores my life (my self); HE leads me in the paths of righteousness (uprightness and right standing with HIM--not for my earning it, but for HIS name's sake.) Righteousness means being just, fair, and morally upright. We all should walk in righteousness, not because we have to for being bound by law, but because we love GOD, we will want to walk morally, just and fair. Where do we find out how to walk morally? It is in HIS WORD!
When the world is calling for us to act according to the flesh and sinful ways, we know that if we heed Apostle Pauls warning to put on Righteousness we will not easily be fooled by the enemie's scheme's and plan's.
The third armor piece "Gospel of Peace" will be in part three of this article.
GOD Bless you!

In the verses above you see that Paul uses the roman soldier analogy, because he wants us to see that we are in a battle...a spiritual battle. My husband is in the ARMY and if he goes into battle, he has been trained to wear his battle gear to protect himself from harm and the possibility of death. GOD too, wants us to be trained to protect ourselves from spiritual warfare. We are battling some pretty nasty wicked beings. (If you notice it says that our war is not with flesh and blood= not with humans) They want us to fall for lies, self destruction, and most of all to keep us from telling others about what JESUS has done for us. This spiritual battle will continue until the day JESUS comes back for HIS people, so Paul tells us about our armor. Notice that Paul says in verses 11 and again in 13 to put on the “Whole" armor of GOD, giving the impression that it is possible to go into battle partially protected. It is important to understand what the armor pieces are, and how to apply them. The armor piece's (breastplate, sword,shield etc., are physical and we are dealing with the spiritual) should not be focused on, but focus on and apply to our lives those things that GOD says will protect us. What are they? The first is TRUTH. WE should apply TRUTH to our lives. "TRUTH" being of nothing false. GOD wants us to be honest and true to HIM, to man, and in all we do, think and say. The Ninth commandment found in Exodus 20:16 says, that we should not bear false witness. (We should not lie) Lev. 19:11 says, Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie, Ps. 119:163 says, I hate and abhor lying, Proverbs 12:22 says, Lying lips are abomination to the Lord, and John 8:44 says, The devil is a liar and the father of lies. If the devil is the father of lies, to battle him, we should put on TRUTH!
The second armor piece, "RIGHTEOUSNESS" will be in part two of this article.
GOD BLESS YOU!
Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you! I love GOD so much! I am in awe at HIS LOVE. HE loves us so much that HE came into the world as the person of JESUS CHRIST to die on a cross, taking our punishment on HIMSELF. We sin, ( commit crimes against GOD)and because of those sins (crimes) we are on the way to eternal judgement in the lake of fire. The BIBLE says in Romans 5:8, But GOD demonstrates HIS own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, CHRIST died for us. HE loved us so much that even though people kill, steal, rape, lie, worship false gods, participate in sexual immorality...JESUS still chose to come to earth to save us. What is HE saving us from? Romans 5:9 says, Much more then, having now been justified by HIS blood, we shall be saved from wrath to come. JESUS came to save us from the wrath to come ( Lake of Fire). Revelations 21:8 says, But the fearful, ( fear is contrary to faith. Hebrews 11:6 says, But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is the rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM. Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. If you do not have faith in GOD, it is a sin) and unbelieving, and the abominable,( Worthy of, or causing, abhorrence, as a thing of evil omen; odious in the utmost degree; very hateful; detestable; loathsome; execrable. ) and murderers, and whoremongers, (sexually immoral) and sorcerers, and idolaters, (One who worships idols.)and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone (sulfur) : which is the second death.
People who never believe that JESUS died on the cross and ascended into HEAVEN will not not be saved. They will be forever the enemies of GOD, but for those who repent will be reconciled to GOD. Romans 5:10 says, For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to GOD through the death of HIS SON, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by HIS life. We were GOD's enemies, GOD came anyway to die a cruel death so we could be right with HIM and escape torment to have HEAVEN as a dwelling place for all eternity. PRAISE HIM!
We committed crimes against GOD, and HE died, and paid our penalty in HIS life's blood to reconcile us to HIMSELF...WOW!!! That my friends, is true love! How about it friend, are you headed to the lake of fire? Wouldn't you like to know for sure you have HEAVEN as your home? Take a look at yourself and ask yourself this... Have I ever told a lie? Have I ever stolen anything? Have I looked upon another to lust after them ( JESUS says that if you look at another to lust you have committed adultery with them in your heart.) Have you ever used GOD's name as a curse word or irreverently? These are just a few of the Ten Commandments, and if you have said yes to any or even just one, you are guilty and GOD sees you as an enemy, but HE does not want to. HE wants you to look at Romans 10:9,10 and follow through with it, which says, If you confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS, and believe in your heart that GOD has raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
I hope you will consider your spiritual well being today friend. JESUS LOVES YOU INDEED!!!
Thank you JESUS for loving us so much that you would leave your home of safety to come to your world you created to teach the very people you created about the truth of your WORD. Thank you for dying for me and the whole world even though we did not, and do not deserve it. I pray that all will come to know YOUR SAVING GRACE! Thank you! I love you so much! Thank you for being my TRUE LOVE! IN JESUS name, AMEN!
Hello All, Grace and Peace be to you from our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
