Shalom Shalom




Shalom is also one of the names of God.


I know this is not perfect.  My voice is a little bit raspy but you'll get the idea of how the song
goes.   My songs are like rough drafts.  It's the best I can do at this time.

Heaven's Bright Song








Heaven's Bright Song

I stood upon the gap between this  life and eternity;
The sounds of instrumental peace-filled space with harmony.
What will I do, I asked myself, with all that I own, though it's small?
I have not loss, but greater wealth, because I gave my all.

What will I do when I get to heaven?  I'll see His face.
I will set by His feet, like a child, in His loving grace.
I will praise him, praise him, evermore on heaven's golden shore.
The smiles of love will shine, and peace will be forevermore.

Trouble and tears, struggles and fears, will vanish away, that day.
When we see the bright clouds, open to light, Jesus, the Way.
The stars will seem dim while we're kneeling by Him, Our precious Lord.
Our hearts will be kindled with great, great joy, not known to this world.

What will I do when I get to heaven?  I will reunite.
As I see old friends in the light with robes of purest white.
I will shout glory, from on high, where no more will ever die.
I will sing ever after where no more tears, I'll ever cry.

I stood upon the gap between this  life and eternity;
The sounds of instrumental peace-filled space with harmony.
What will I do, I asked myself, with all that I own, though it's small?
I have not loss, but greater wealth, because I gave my all.

I will rejoice evermore, Yes, we will  rejoice evermore,
In Jesus, our hope, our love, our God, salvation's door.
This world is just a vapor, a very small corner of time.

But heaven's glory, heaven's bright song, will ever chime.

 1Thesalonians  2:19 
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? 
Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 




 Matthew 
5:12   Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

 Luke 
1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
 6:23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
15:6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
15:9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
 5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
 15:10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

 1 Corinthians
 7:30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

 2:3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

  7:16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

 Galatians 
4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

 Philippians
 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 
 2:18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
 2:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. {carefully: or, with more anxious care} 
 3:1 ¶ Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

 Colossians 
1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

 1Thesalonians 
5:16  Rejoice evermore.

 James
 1:9  Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 
 4:16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

 1Peter
 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


 Revelations

We Need To Keep Our Candle Lit




We Need To Keep Our Candle Lit

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;
Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.
I choose to joy in the presence of the Lord my God;
I choose to live for Him with joy faithfully.

Though at times I've felt alone, rejected and mocked;
Tempted to be angry upset and to quit.
I know God will give me wisdom in my choices each day;
I choose to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

We need to keep our candle lit, as we love the Lord.
Prayin'  ev'ry day, keep the devil away.
There are consequences for the choices that we make;
That's why we need to stay close to God each day.

Love one another, be tender hearted and kind;
Confess our sins daily, walk worthy and shine.
He will give us strength, mount us up on eagle's wings;
All things work together for good, in His time.

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;
Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.
Because He is the joy that fills my heart that makes me sing;
I choose  to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

We need to keep our candle lit, as we love the Lord.
Prayin' ev'ry day, keep the devil away.
There are consequences for the choices that we make;
That's why we need to stay close to God each day.

I choose to joy in the life that God has given me;
Just knowing He has loved and forgiven me.
Because He is the joy that fills my heart that makes me sing;
I choose  to have joy and to keep my candle lit.

 Psalms 30:5b
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

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

Father God,

It Will Be A Joyous Day




It Will Be A Joyous Day

Red, brown,  yellow, black and white.
God loves every color.
One day when the Lord comes back:
We'll leave with him together.

We'll be with him forever;
One day we will fly away.
Brothers, sisters in  the Lord;
It will be a joyous day.

Troublesome, sometimes this world;
Troublesome, sometimes the day.
But in heaven, my friend;
Every trouble will fade away.

No night, no fight, just the light;
His love his plan forever.
Beautiful  heavenly hosts;
We will all sing together.

With everlasting praising;
One accord, not like this world.
We will love one another;
While we serve our risen Lord.

We know Jesus is coming;
It could be most any day.
What will He find you doing,
On the day we fly away?

We'll be with him forever;
One day we will fly away.
Brothers, sisters in  the Lord;
It will be a joyous day.

Dying Without The Light - updated





Dying Without The Light


This past October I decided for the first time to carve some pumpkins.  Now last year my son in law and daughter carved the pumpkin for the  "Pumpkin With A Purpose Lesson", that I wrote last year, but we only used it in the classroom.

I had around eight pumpkins.  I  was thinking how  pretty they would look all lit up with
 the gospel message shining through.  Talk about scaring some devils away. - he he
Anyway, we carved six of the pumpkins and set them outside awaiting the day to light them.

We apparently had carved them too soon and the weather got warm and they slowly started to fade away.  My husband and I were the only ones here.   I have no little children here to enjoy them anymore.  We never have any trick or treaters, though we normally buy candy just in case.  So the pumpkins  just sat out  there and died without any light.  They said nice things like, Jesus loves you  and even had a cross, but there was absolutely no light on the inside.

This reminds me of people who have trusted in the wrong things for salvation.  The bible talks about them.
Like the people who will say  " Lord, Lord I've done many wonderful work in your name".  I'm sure they did many wonderful works even gave to the poor and the needy.  Those things are all great things to do
but there's only one way to heaven.  God's not going to open heaven's gate to one who has trusted his own good works to get him there.  I must also say though,  good works will be the fruit of a true believer in Christ.  Jesus said himself ,we shall know them by their fruit. 

There are many people who wear a cross and even tell others Jesus loves them, but the question is do they have a light on... on the inside themselves.  Have they ever really trusted in the right things for salvation? Without Christ living and dwelling in our hearts we would be religious, but we wouldn't  be saved.  We wouldn't have any light.

There are many people who are like those pumpkins outside that never got lit.  They die thinking  " I think I've lived good enough to make it to heaven", but they never were lit up on the inside.  They never trusted Christ alone for salvation.  They were really good people, seemingly perfect, but it's not the right way....yes even for a true believer,  we know Christ tells us there is coming a day when every man's work  (man and woman) will be tried by fire.  Then we shall know what manner of work it was.  but for an unbeliever his works were never done in the power of Christ.  He never had a light.

We as Christians need to be sharing the gospel light,  that others may believe and receive the gospel message and in turn be a light in a dark place.


Matthew 7:22-23
 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

1 Corinthians  3:13
 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 
 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.


Roman 1:16
 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

PS. Now You Know:  This Is Not Left Over From Last Halloween

"What Is That?" - Just A Little Note From My Past



Just A Little Note From My Past 

"What Is That?"

When I was a preteen, my sister, my cousin and I had just turned the lights out to go to bed.  When suddenly we could hear something flying around the room.  "What Is That?"  One of us yelled.
We were scared and I started calling out to my dad, but he was sleeping and would not answer, so I called out to my brother and he too was sleeping, so no help came.  I laid there frightened along with my sister and cousin.  We wouldn't so much as raise one of our hands  into the air.  It didn't sound like a fly or a mosquito.  We knew it couldn't of even been an unusually large mosquito.  Whatever it was it was big.  So I finally decided something had to be done.  Whatever it was - we were afraid it could come down upon us at any moment.  So I came up with a plan to get to the light switch.  No standing was required until I could make it to the wall that had the light switch.   I slithered to the bottom of the bed, pulled the sheet loose at the bottom and slipped down closely to the bed,  onto the floor, then slid across our hardwood flooring and slid up the wall to flip  the light switch.  As soon as the light came on,  the flying whatever instantly was not flying and was completely hidden from sight.   My dad was finally awakened from all the excitement. We were far from quiet, believe me!  We looked everywhere, but where could it be?  My dad pulled back one of our curtains and there it was.  It was looking at us, making a noise and it had sharp teeth.  It was a brown mean looking bat.  It wasn't as big as we thought it would be, but it was still scary and we didn't want to get bit by it either.

My dad captured the bat by letting it drop into a paper bag.  We giggled while getting back into bed and finally we were able to sleep without fear for the rest of the night.

Thought: The bat liked darkness rather than light.

Thought: Sometimes we can't see the danger but we know it's there.

Thought: Sometimes things are hidden, but in time are found.


Scripture:
1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.  (motives)

Your Word

Your Word


Susan Y Nikitenko
August 9th,2012





Your Word has power to save the vilest soul;
Your Word can make the hopeless whole again.
Those blinded by darkness can see the light;
Your Word has the power to turn a heart from sin.

Your Word cuts to the quick, convicts the heart;
It brings a wanderer to repentance.
It reveals our filthiness and our shame;
It gives the broken more than another chance.

Your Word teaches us how to love all men;
Your Word makes known an open door to Him.
It announces your salvation through grace;
And that your blood cleanses us from all sin.

Your Word, so powerful, so real, so great;
Can make everything new in an instance.
That shattered life can stand and sing again;
Brokenness, turns to joy, the heart can dance.

Your Word teaches us to praise in battle;
To  trust, to be courageous, fearless.
For you are more than mighty, YOU ARE GOD;
Yet you are ever loving and near us.

Your Word causes evil to flee in fear;
Your Word proclaims your perfect holiness.
And your anger  towards disobedience;
It extends to the  repentant forgiveness.

Your Word, remains a light unto our path;
Your Word is medicine, your Word is pure.
Your Word is living water for the soul;
Your Word is steadfast and its precepts sure.

Your Word became flesh and dwelt among us;
Mighty God came to earth as holy child.
Because, you are love and you are mercy;
Your light and redemption  saves the defiled.

Thank-You For Your Word


Ps 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 Ephesians 1:7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

 Hebrews 12:15
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
 lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you,
 and thereby many be defiled;

Jesus Is My Miracle


Jesus Is My Miracle


By: Susan Y Nikitenko
July 24th, 2011

Jesus Is my miracle;
The keeper of my heart.
He is the reason that I live;
He gave me - a brand new start.

Jesus is my miracle;
The star that shines inside.
He is the place I find comfort;
He's the place where I hide.

Jesus is my miracle;
I look to Him each day.
He holds my future in His hands;
He wipes my tears away.

Chorus:
Jesus is our miracle;
The miracle of light.
All that put their trust in Him;
They find eternal life.

A miracle, A miracle;
Sent from heaven above.
Redeemer, The Light of the world;
God's miracle of love.
------

My miracle is Jesus;
His love is ever true.
He'll never ever leave me;
He helps His children through.

Through the storms of life and death;
Through struggle and through pain;
Through life's uncertain obstacles;
His love and help remain.

Jesus is my miracle;
The Savior of my soul.
I lift my voice with praises;
For He has made me whole.

Chorus:
Jesus is our miracle;
The miracle of light.
All that put their trust in Him;
They find eternal life.

A miracle, A miracle;
Sent from heaven above.
Redeemer, The Light of the world;
God's miracle of love.
