Identify Truth and Obey it

Identify Truth and Obey it

 When I use the word snowflake it has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat.  The main thing I write about is the Bible and our Christ who came to this world to die for our sins and to overthrow the power of death and hell.  I do not believe that people should shed more tears over an animal’s death or its baby’s death than human life.  Though we should take care of animals, people are the only creation made in the likeness of God. 

I heard someone calling another person a snowflake Democrat.  Well, I certainly hope they are not talking about me. Do they call someone a snowflake because they are white?  I do not think I could become a Democrat at this time in history because I would have to go against my conscience and what I believe.  First of all, I do not believe in abortion.  God hates the hands that shed innocent blood.  How much more innocent can you get than that. 

The only time I use the snowflake, as an illustration, is when I’m teaching the bible.  God first uses snow as the example of our sins being washed whiter than snow.  The other way, I’ve used the snowflake as an example, is that every snowflake is different.  People are all different, even if they look similar or are identical in appearance.  They certainly have different genes, not a pair of pants, but the chemical makeup that comes from your parents.  God does not use a cookie cutter to make people.  You are unique in that God made you, you.  Of course, we should not blame God or give God credit for the wrong choices we make in our life.  Doing what’s right does not always come naturally to us, that’s why God gave us his word to help us fight against the natural man. The true spiritual side of us can only happen in us one way.  Through the belief and acceptance of Christ into our hearts and lives.  Thinking of the devil, He wants all people to go astray and follow everything imaginable against God, following after what you think to be true but is not true at all.  God tells us not to follow after the things of the flesh, but to resist the devil and he will flee away from us. He will literally run from you.  Hiding God’s Word in your heart protects you from believing a lie.  By comparing what you want to do with what the Word of God teaches will help you identify a lie.  The Bible teaches us that if you love God you will obey his commandments. 

Jesus is our greatest example when it comes to temptation.  Jesus was tempted in all like manners as we are but resisted and continued without sin. He was tempted in a few ways.  Here are a few verses to remind us that we need to walk in his steps.

Psalms 37:23

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighted in his way. {ordered: or, established}

 Psalms[G1]  37:31

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. {steps: or, goings}

 Psalms 85:13

Righteousness shall go before him and shall set us in the way of his steps.

 Jeremiah 10:23

O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

1Peter 2:21

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Mark 1:13

And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

Luke 4: Starting in verse 1

 

Facts To Think About:

Jesus did not eat for 40 days what was he tempted with?  Food/Bread He wanted Jesus to fall down and worship him – he made a promise to Jesus that these kingdoms would bow to him and give to him.

He was tempted with power over Kingdoms. Jesus answered with scripture.  Satan wanted Jesus to fall down and worship Him.  If Jesus had sinned the forgiveness for mankind would never happen. 

 

Because Jesus was tempted in all points as humankind.  It says in Hebrews  

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are  tempted

 

We see in the passage that Jesus resisted the devil and answered with bible verses.  This is why it’s so important for us to hide God’s word in our hearts.  The devil wants to hit our hearts and sadly sometimes it comes from unexpected persons.  The Bible says in Hebrews 2:18 that the temptation of Satin caused Jesus to suffer, it was at his weakest moment that the devil tempted him.

 

This is the example we need to follow Jesus used Scripture to answer, Jesus resisted, and Jesus understood his enemy.  He also could see the consequences of sin if that were to happen.

 

This past week, I know this sounds kind of deep for little ones, my daughter bought a children’s book because the copyright is before the 1920s.  A to Z short bible lessons.  I had already prepared what I was going to teach but decided to start the kids on Z.  It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. In Jeremiah 39:5-9  God told Jeremiah to warn the wicked King Zedekiah to repent. God in his love warned Zedekiah. He had a chance to turn to God, However, He refused to listen.  So, the judgment of God came upon him.  He lost the war with the Chaldeans and was carried off to Babylon, they took him as a prisoner, put him in chains, and put out his eyes. He was thrown into prison until he died. Before his eyes were put out, He saw the death of his Sons.  I do not remember all the details, but I do know this, a lot of other people were taken into captivity because he refused to repent. My four-year-old Grandson could tell me who Wicked King Zedekiah was at the end of the lesson.

 

God gives people chances but God also brings judgment to rebellious people.  This world has lied to a lot of people, some think they are telling the truth, but they are not.  If it does not match the Bible then you know to refuse it.

 

If someone was calling me a snowflake Democrat, would that be true?  First of all, I’m not happy with either party right now, but I can tell you this.  I was always taught by good Christian people to vote for the lesser evil.  I’m going to vote my conscience. Remember how important it is to choose the lesser evil. God can bring judgment upon a nation because of a bad leader who refuses to acknowledge Him with obedience.

 

One of the temptations of Satan was for Jesus to bow down to Satan for the love of the people. 

 

Any thought or idea that contradicts the Bible is not from God, I can guarantee God is angry over the gender stuff, God is angry at abortion, God is angry at bitter people spuing bitter words, and God is angry about rebellion and no repentance. God is angry that people are not going to his house to worship him.

The Bible says “God is angry with the wicked every day."

If you will not obey him then you do not love him.   

 

God has shown me mercy and longsuffering and He has shown America that kind of mercy too.  God Asks, should we continue in sin that grace may abound?  God forbid. 

 

God does teach repentance there needs to be a belief unto righteousness.  God said He would bring judgment if Zedekiah did not repent and God meant it.

 

Psalms 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

 

"God said it

I Believe it

That settles it"   By unknown

Why I Kept Our Memorial Decorations Up All June Last Year

Why I Kept Our Memorial Decorations Up All June Last Year

I started decorating the month of June last year in honor of those who died without a funeral.  I had people I loved who died.  Many people died without a funeral.  It was the first year I decided to leave our July décor in place. 

I would like to say every day belongs to God.  No matter what this world does nothing will change that.  Psalms 118:24 says-This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. And also:  Psalms 113:3 says- From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.   

I believe in celebrating Jesus Christ every single day.  We are to praise his name at sunrise, all day, and at sunset.  I believe in celebrating our country and I’m grateful for the freedom to worship our sinless God in heaven.  Who hates sin, and also brings judgment upon those that continue to rebel against his will.  I believe in celebrating the heroes of our country and I’m grateful for their sacrifice.  I’m thankful for law enforcement that does well and does right.   I celebrate their heroism and their sacrifice both those living and those who have gone before us.

I believe in celebrating the love of God and his love is pure.  His love is sinless and is powerful.  His love has changed the lives of many.  People’s love may fail us but God’s love never fails. 

In the front of my house, my gardens spell out Lov which is spelled short for love.  The V is in the shape of a heart.  It stands for nearly 35 years of marriage to one man.  It stands for people I am grateful to, my family, my church, true friends, my community, our country, our public servants, and most of all for what Christ has done to save those who believe and trust upon Christ as Saviour.

Recently we had a pole moved two poles over towards our home, onto our property.  At first, I really didn’t like it there.  I asked God to have them move it back into its original place.  We do not have any powerlines coming from those poles our lines are underground.  The people who owned this home before paid to have their lines put underground.  The poles were moved towards our home on two occasions.  They have been moved in, the total width of three poles.  For the first time, I viewed those poles as three crosses.  Between the two poles and in front of the middle pole is the word lov without the e.  It made me think of Jesus and the two thieves and the love of Christ as He prayed “Father forgive them”.    “They know not what they do.”   Love paid our sin debt and brought salvation to all those who believe and trust him.  I’m choosing to use those poles as a way to tell others about Jesus.  Hopefully, God will give me many opportunities to do so.

In closing I want to say Thank you.   

Thank-you each one. To those who are faithful, honest and true, for your sacrifice, for your service.  If you see flags up around my home.  I’m expressing my love for Our God, my husband, our family, our friends, our country and our heroes.  June belongs to God.  He is the alpha and omega. Each day is his and he owns each day.   I dedicate each day in honor of Him.

A Note About Myself

A Note About Myself

About eleven years ago something happened that is very hard to explain.  I became very confused.  I was going to shut down my blog.   I was overwhelmingly burdened over something.  My heart felt crushed by something and 

I didn’t even know what it was exactly.  I went to a preacher's meeting with my husband.  An old-time preacher preached, who is well known.

He preached on Jonah and the whale.  I listened very intently to what he was preaching and believe it or not I felt like 

God was talking directly to me.  Of all things God wanted me to get back online.  So here I am going on 13 years.

All because I listened to an old-time preacher and believed with all my heart God wanted me online. 

Hopefully, my efforts have been a blessing to someone (for the right reasons).  

There has been many times that I wanted to give up blogging.  One, because it has been without reward.  

Two, It has caused me a lot of grief.  

Someone wants to know why my blog is big.  There is a very specific reason my blog is big.  

It has nothing to do with showing off.  The truth is if you know anything about the story of Gideon you will know.

I’ve had many things happen to me some things are unexplainable and some things unbelievable but they are true.

Some things I just won’t talk about them because my heart tells me not to.

I have told my husband at times I think I'm going to shut my blog down..  He has encouraged me to continue.  I remember when we were at the fairgrounds I didn't want to be out in front talking to people.

He told me I was good at it and I needed to be there.  I felt that the men needed to do the speaking.

He persistently put me in front.  Once I started talking I was perfectly fine.  He said He felt I belonged there.  I was able to win some people to the Lord.  I obeyed my husband and God used me, even though I didn't want to be out front.  

I will try as best as I can to get back to writing on Monday.  I need a break from it.

My God's Love Was There

My God's Love Was There

His love lifted me;

From the sinking sands of sin.

I cried for His help;

I looked for a helping friend.

But none heard my cry;

Cared not if I lived or died.

There I took His hand;

Then He pulled me to His side.

His rescuing love;

Pulled me from the fire;

From the sinking mire;

God became my desire.

He led me, through truth;

His love healed my broken heart.

When this world of grief;

Wanted to tear my life apart.

But God's love was there;

In my grief, In my despair,

Just when I thought no one cared;

My God's love was there.

In the darkest night;

Where there was no shining light.

I'm so glad my God;

Pulled me from the devil's snare.

But God's love was there;

In my grief, In my despair.

There was His Hand.

God became my desire.

Christian Valentine Poem

A Song About Salvation

January 14th, 2017


Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Mathew 14:29 - 33
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
 Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Let Our Hearts Be Right

Let Our Hearts Be Right

Let our hearts be right,

That in this world we might,

Make a difference;

In somebody's life.

Let our hearts be right,

That by grace we might;

Be the difference;

That brings somebody life.

Devotion and love;

For our God above.

Resistant of sin;

Surrendered to Him.

May our lips reply;

With joy from on high.

That Jesus still lives;

Still loves and forgives.

May amazing grace;

Keep us in God's ways.

Drawing close to Him

In rev'rence and praise.

Let our hearts be right,

As we fight the fight;

That makes a difference;

In somebody's life.

God Speaks Of Himself Through His Creation

God Speaks Of Himself Through His Creation

 When I was a child about 7 yrs old,  my dad used to take us once in a while, to a little feed store that was in another small community.  I'm not sure why we were there or what all they sold there, but it may have been around the time that we were raising a pig. So it could of been that he was buying some supplies to put up a pig pen or maybe he needed some parts for his lawn mower. 

  I obviously was not paying attention to what he was buying, because something else got my attention.  An incubator full of eggs hatching and baby chicks chirping, little baby chicks, so cute.  I found myself, even as a little girl, thinking about God.  I guess I wanted to understand God.  So while I looked down at the little chicks and the light bulb that kept them warm.  I thought of God.  I thought to myself, those little chicks are like people, though they weren't people.  I was comparing them to people.  I looked at the light bulb, I thought to myself,  that light bulb is like the sun that shines down and keeps us warm.  Then I thought to myself, Just like God watches over us,  I am watching over these little chicks.  God takes care of us, loves us and provides for us.

 

     The bible teaches us about God and is the number one resource, It is Holy and is inspired by God, but God also speaks of himself through nature.  Nature itself is a witness and testimony of a living creator who forms life from the dust of the ground, as He did with Adam and Eve.  God created all of creation from nothing and gave them the ability to reproduce, just like the little chicks in the eggs.

Thank the Lord God for speaking to our hearts through his creation, because it is through his creation that we may understanding Him more.

It's Because Of God's Love

It's Because Of God's Love

Out of envy, out of hatred, Jesus was torn;

He was beaten, betrayed, mocked and rejected.

Hurt beyond words, He was unrecognizable;

God's only begotten Son - was not accepted.  

The crowds in unison chanted, Crucify Him!

Crucify Him!  Crucify Him! the hateful roared.

He suffered, He bled, and they jeered, as He died.

But the power of hell was broken by our Lord.

Tears mingled in His blood at the foot of the cross;

But a miracle from heaven was on its way; 

Salvation was born on that Resurrection day;

Hallelujah, Jesus came to seek and to save.

All hell could not defeat Him,  death could not keep him;

For Jesus our Saviour was God in human flesh.

It's because of God's love, His salvation is known;

Now under His wings is comfort and perfect rest.

Because Of God's Love

( Song)©

 John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ephesians 2:1-9

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

It Is You Jesus, Who I Want To Please

It Is You Jesus, Who  I Want To Please

The blessing of Lord shall abide;

When we live to please and honor Him.

Like dew  from heaven  refreshing the earth;

Like fruit hanging from a healthful limb.

The blessing of the Lord shall remain;

When we remain faithful  and true in Christ.

Even though sometimes it's hard to see;

I remember His great sacrifice.

---------

The greatest blessing is you Jesus;

The greatest gift I've ever received .

And your blessing still abides on me;

It is you Jesus, who  I want to please.

You gave us the waters that flow free;

You gave the hope of eternity.

You  gave us the grace to face each day;

And all the blessing we find in thee.

Our lives are  in your hands each moment;

Our trust in your promised provision.

When we call upon your name  and pray;

You give us much needed attention.

--------

You give us strength, when we have no strength.

You restore our faith, when we need faith;

You give us joy when we have no joy;

You lead us in all your righteous ways.

The greatest blessing is you Jesus;

The greatest gift I've ever received .

And your blessing still abides on me;

It is you Jesus, who  I want to please.

Worthy Of Celebration

Worthy Of  Celebration 

I was asking myself this question today.  Why is the celebrating of Jesus being born biblical?

Christmas is one of the greatest spiritual events that has ever taken place in history.  God himself opened the heavens and sent  a celebrating band of angels.  These angels  I'm sure sang though the bible does not say so.  

One of the reasons I believe they sang is that some angels have musical instrument in their bodies.   The bible says that they rejoiced and many times we too will gather to rejoice together on joyous occasions.  Most the time rejoicing includes music and singing.

Heaven is full of music, singing and praising, so even if they did not sing.  To think they may have  would not be unreasonable, knowing that God himself put musical instruments in some angles bodies.  They were living instruments of music.

God chose to have a great event to announce the Christ Child being born.  He did not have to open the skies of heavens glories to reveal something wonderful to lowly shepherds.  He did not have to let them witness the rejoicing of heavenly angels.  He could have chose some other way, but it was a celebration.

He chose to tell us of the celebration in His Word.  God made sure that Christ's birthday was recognized as a great day, and what a great day it still is.  God chose to make it part of His holy Word.   The historical occurrence has lead many people in the dark spiritually to the light of the world, (Jesus our Savoiur.)

Just as the shepherds watched their sheep in a dark night, 

God's heavenly angels filled the dark skies with light.  

God then opened their eyes to fully understand.  

That God, that night had provided himself a lamb.

The occasion called for something special from heaven's bright land.  A celebration of God's promise of a Saviour fulfilled.

Jesus'  birth is totally worthy of celebration.  With rejoicing, singing and praising God.

"I AM" Here

"I AM"  Here

She sat by her window one early morn;

She had lived in the silence too long.

Heartbroken, alone and on her own;

It just seemed everything had gone wrong.

But in the frost of the window appeared;

It seemed like a dream , but oh so true.

Like God himself had written with love;

The words "I AM"  in the drips of the dew.

Could it be He was  saying some wonderful thing?

Like,  "I Am"  your God and I'm here for you."

"Never alone, never alone , dear one;

I gave a reminder, here in the dew.'

"I Am" your God, "I Am' your best  friend;"

"I  Am" your heavenly Father  above."

"I  Am "  always here and hear your prayers;"

"I  AM" faithful, "I Am"  just,  "I Am" love."

-------------

Could it be in times of grief and sorrow;

God would comfort while we are comfortless?

When no human words or act could console;

The great "I Am" can speak great things to us.

Could it be, when it seems we've been forsaken;

That God himself would send a special hug:

Upon a frozen window dripping dew?

Just to say," I AM"  here and I love you?"

Susan Y Nikitenko

Hebrews 13:5b

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Have Confidence In God

Have Confidence In God

Have confidence that Jesus saves to the uttermost;

And that  God always keeps His Word.

He's still in the business of forever salvation ;

He's the joy of the message heard.

Have confidence that He can deliver us from evil;

He fills us with courage that wins.

He's still in the business of courageous living ;

He is the conqueror of sin. 

Have confidence that God will never let us down;

He'll never leave or forsake us.

He's still in the business of  a forever love;

Oh how great is His faithfulness.

Have confidence that God knows what He is doing;

Though we may never understand.

He's still in the business of  giving us strength  and hope;

In impossible circumstance.

Have confidence that God hears and answers prayer;

When our hearts are clean in Him.

God is still in the business of  parting seas;

Just as if it were, way back then.

Have confidence that God is not through using you;

Forgive yourself and move on.

God is still in the business of  great forgiveness;

Under the blood , our sins are gone.

Matthew  6:13 

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from 

evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the 

power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Knowing God Can

Knowing God Can

 When Israel stood before their enemies;

When it looked like they didn't have a chance.

Just like the historic David and Goliath;

When standing by faith there are no I can'ts.

I can do all things through Christ Jesus our Lord;

When I've sought to please Him and keep my heart right;

I  can live in confidence, knowing God  can;

When I am walking in His power and His might.

When Daniel obeyed, trusted God and He prayed;

He was thrown in a den of hungry lions.

But God heard his plea, most defiantly;

 And each of His enemies were silenced.

When tempted and tried, facing the enemy;

The enemy that all Christians face some way.

When standing by faith there are no I can'ts;

To the dutiful Christian who trusts and prays.

I can do all things through Christ Jesus our Lord;

When I've sought to please Him and keep my heart right;

I  can live in confidence, knowing God  can;

When I am walking in His power and His might.

 Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.


God will bless us whether now or in heaven when we choose to live the biblical way.  Following righteousness, following truth, maybe even willing to die just as many Bible people of the scriptures, who died for righteousness sake.  God will not bless the choosing of sin  as acceptable even if it seems it has prospered.

God Is Still Great!

God Is Still Great

God is greater than any sea;

Than high mountains of majesty.

Greater far than heavenly stars;

Greater than all mankind is He.

God is greater than the blue sky;

Or any invention that we try.

Greater than the riches of earth;

Or even a tiny child's birth.

Chorus:

Greater than any obstacle;

Or anything impossible.

Through Christ alone our greatest fate;

God is still good,  God is still great.
greater than great, God is still great

God is greater than you or I;

Or any problem that makes us cry.

Greater far than our greatest foe;

There is nothing He doesn't know.

God is greater than creation;

More than our imagination;

Fashioned by his creative hands;

Great wonders here and other lands.

Chorus:
Greater than any obstacle;

Or anything impossible.

Through Christ alone our greatest fate;

God is still good,  God is still great.

 greater than great!

God is still good,  God is still great!

God is greater than great!

I sang this song just for the purpose of letting you know and showing you that this song can be sung. I never claimed to be a wonderful singer and I’m definitely not showing off as you well know. The message of this song is to communicate that there is nothing or no one greater than God. I have been willing to make a fool out of myself to help you know that this is a song.

Psalms 95:3
For the LORD is a great
God, and a great
King above all gods.

Day By Day (Prayer)

Day By Day

(Prayer)

Like The Buds Of The Trees;

Like The Blooms Of The Spring;

Let Your Love, Let Your Joy;

Ever Bloom From My Soul-

 Day By Day.

Like The Deer By The Pond;

Like The Breeze In The Sun.

Let Your Light, Let Your Ways

Ever Shine From My Life-

 Day By Day.

Like The Rocks And The Sky;

Like The Moon Upon High;

Let  Your Strength, Let Your Grace;

Be Walking Here With Me-

 Day By Day.

Like The Night Turn To Day;

Like The Child On The Way;

Let  Your Hand, Let Your Word;

Ever Guide In My Life-

Day By Day.

Jesus Is Life's Greatest Treasure

Jesus is Life's Greatest Treasure

The greatest treasures of this life;

Are not the artifacts of old.

Not treasures hid deep in oceans wide;

Not treasures of silver or gold.

The greatest treasures of this life;

Are not found in houses or lands.

Not found in an education:

Magnificent  ideas or plans.

We treasure and enjoy nature:

Along the garden paths and streams.

Love the view of a setting sun:

Breathing  in the fragrance of spring:

Yes, all these things are treasures;

Each creature, each flower, each tree.

And each mind boggling wonder.

From sparkling sea, to sparkling sea.

Each person is a treasure to Christ;

That's why He died for you and me.

Like precious stones mined  from the rocks;

But worth more than it's treasury.

Though children are cherished treasure:

More than mere words could really say.

Though we treasure and love our spouse:

And precious time with them each day.

Jesus is life's greatest treasure:

Without Him all treasure is lost.

Eternal treasure will remain:

Because Jesus has paid the cost.

Jesus is life's greatest treasure:

Without Him all hell would break forth.

All would be lost and hope be not:

Eternal damnation our course.

Jesus  is unfolding treasure;

Hope everlasting, life anew.

If you would believe upon him;

A treasure forever in you.

1Peter 1:18-21
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
