WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEAR GOD? - BY GOT QUESTIONS?
Question: "What does it mean to have the fear of God?"
Answer: For the unbeliever, the fear of God is the fear of the judgment of God and eternal death, which is eternal separation from God (Luke 12:5; Hebrews 10:31). For the believer, the fear of God is something much different. The believer's fear is reverence of God. Hebrews 12:28-29 is a good description of this: “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our ’God is a consuming fire.’” This reverence and awe is exactly what the fear of God means for Christians. This is the motivating factor for us to surrender to the Creator of the Universe.
Proverbs 1:7 declares, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.” Until we understand who God is and develop a reverential fear of Him, we cannot have true wisdom. True wisdom comes only from understanding who God is and that He is holy, just, and righteous. Deuteronomy 10:12, 20-21 records, “And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.” The fear of God is the basis for our walking in His ways, serving Him, and, yes, loving Him.
Some redefine the fear of God for believers to “respecting” Him. While respect is definitely included in the concept of fearing God, there is more to it than that. A biblical fear of God, for the believer, includes understanding how much God hates sin and fearing His judgment on sin—even in the life of a believer. Hebrews 12:5-11 describes God’s discipline of the believer. While it is done in love (Hebrews 12:6), it is still a fearful thing. As children, the fear of discipline from our parents no doubt prevented some evil actions. The same should be true in our relationship with God. We should fear His discipline, and therefore seek to live our lives in such a way that pleases Him.
Believers are not to be scared of God. We have no reason to be scared of Him. We have His promise that nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39). We have His promise that He will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Fearing God means having such a reverence for Him that it has a great impact on the way we live our lives. The fear of God is respecting Him, obeying Him, submitting to His discipline, and worshipping Him in awe.

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION AND THE HOLY SPIRIT - FIRST CORINTHIANS 15:1-11
Just wanted to say a quick hello and tell you all I hope you have a happy, safe and blessed weekend. I'm working on a special project for next week that is taking up a lot of my time but I'm hoping will be a blessing and helpful to you. It's going to take up a lot of time reading, listening, asking questions and getting real and true answers so that I can be more effective in spreading the Gospel and help by supporting you who are able to get out there and do the hard work. Right now I am in more of a "supportive-type" situation but am a warrior for the Gospel-in-training situation too. I am going to get out there and really spread God's Word by learning, praying and crocheting scarves and blankets for the homeless and those who are in need. Today, we are all in need, be it physical, mental or Spiritual.
So, while I may not seem very active, I am even more active than before. I plan to start writing my own articles, finding and sharing awesome videos and also just simply honoring Jesus Christ in every single thing I do and say. I will be addressing what some issues and you may not always agree on my position and that is fine! We don't have to agree on the rapture, how God created the earth, and so many of the things that are dividing the one TRUE church, the Body of Christ. For instance, is baptism NECESSARY for salvation? No but should you be? I would definitely do it again and I may, I haven't decided yet. It's not necessary to be saved but it is an act of obedience and it's just my personal opinion that if you're not willing (notice I did not say unable) to do this simple commandment that is so safe and an awesome experience, then you may not be as willing to obey the harder ones. However, the Gospel of Christ Jesus in First Corinthians 15:1-11 specifically says (and upheld in Ephesians 2:8-9) that all that one must do is believe and trust that Jesus Christ is God, that He died for us, was buried, resurrected and rose again. He ascended into Heaven and we were given the "Comforter" which is better known as "the Holy Spirit" on the Day of Pentacost, a one-time event, never to have occurred again.
Also, another doctrine that claim one must speak in tongues to prove you've received the Holy Spirit is also another misinterpreted and misunderstood part of scripture. The Holy Bible tells you that the gift of the Holy Spirit is free and given upon salvation. Baptism would mean you have to "do" something or "work" to receive a free gift. Then it could not ever be considered free but earned and that's where Ephesians 2:8-9 should clear that up nicely.
You must understand how to rightfully divide the Word of God and understand that the Book of Acts is a transitional book and so full of information, confusion,change and finally agreement when Peter is given the vision that it was time for the Gospel to be spread to the Gentiles and when Jesus Christ Himself chose Paul to Apostleship. Peter was the main minister to the Jews, whereas Paul was the main minister to the Gentiles. One MUST understand when either are talking to Jews or Gentiles. Many of the signs were for the Jews only, such as speaking in tongues, signs and wonders, the other Spiritual gifts given to those on that day, including healing.
I am a cessationalist and believe that in First Corinthians 13:10 it is clear that the Spiritual gifts will cease when the Holy Scripture was written when John wrote Revelation. Paul refers to it as an 'IT" rather than "HE" so Paul is not speaking of a person or, as some believe, the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. That does not mean I don't believe that the Spiritual gifts are never given, as I do believe that if needed, the are given but may not always be present. I may be given the gift of healing through prayer by the Holy Spirit on a certain day but does not mean I can heal anyone. It is as God chooses to use to show His presence and power to this really unbelieving generation.
However, if you believe in your heart you have the gift of speaking in a secret language, who am I to say you are wrong? I've said a few words I didn't understand but did I speak in tongues? Only God knows and if I was found worthy for Him to show Himself to me in that way, I am truly blessed. However, I do not have that gift. I have a discerning spirit though but it sort of comes and goes but the more I pray for strength in that gift, the greater it becomes. I've made statements I thought "where did that come from" that happened but am I a prophet? No. Did God give me this information? I would not ever say that. I also know I am not what some call "psychic." I have never and never will dabble with the occult. Maybe at various times, when needed, the Holy Spirit gives us the Spiritual gifts as He sees need.
My point is, why part of this gospel is not true, it does contain the entire Gospel of salvation but adds to it. The Gospel is simply that you trust and believe that Jesus Christ is God and He DID IT ALL. IT IS FINISHED. You are saved if you believe this. Do good works, speak in tongues if you feel you have that gift, get baptized, do whatever you want to do but just rely only on Jesus Christ for your salvation and realize there is nothing you can do, say, feel or think of yourself that will ever "save" you. Only our Messiah, Jesus/Yeshua, can do that. However, the worst thing we can do to another person is to add to that. Lead them to the Cross and let go and LET GOD. He is the author and finisher of our salvation.
I've talked to many people who have been to Pentacostal churches and loved the fire, the Spirit and love the people exhibit BUT when they feel confused, scared and think if they get saved they'll convulse on the floor, talk incoherently, and even some bark like dogs, it turns them away. IF God chooses to give them that gift, they will get it. He gives as He gives utterance. Speaking in tongues is the least of the Spiritual gifts so you are to pray for the better gift and as Paul says in First Corinthians 13, LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT. Lead them to the Cross and Jesus Christ takes over. Your job is done! You are saved because we are saved by grace!!! Let us never again be divided or turn others away from the love of the One and Only Living God...Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Be blessed and FULL OF GRACE!

TO A FRIEND...GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR (A STORY OF OVERCOMING
I must apologize once again. I am so full of excuses that I fear you are starting to think I'm lying. I was finally all set to go tonight to start back working on my blogs, visiting my communities by sharing and posting (especially reading your posts), even going to my F/B Christian pages and posting comments on a reasonable and normal basis. Let me be honest, the main reason I have not been on here since early December is because for about a year or more, I devoted almost every waking moment to the internet. It was as Christ-centered as possible but I also got drawn into what I hate most and that's politics. I never before cared as I figured one was as good/bad as the other. I voted some and sometimes I didn't. I knew nothing about them and cared even less. For a long time, that was fine but as we've seen, apathy breeds immorality and evil. We fell asleep and didn't keep watch and look at what we have today. I am speaking ONLY of the "gay marriage law" here BUT not in the way one may think as this is to honor 2 amazing people I know and one of overcoming physical lusts and being right with God.
One, we are not of this world even though we live in it. In the Bible, "the world" is referring to unbelievers and not the true "Church" or the Body of Christ. We are not forced by this law to marry our own gender. Should we "celebrate" it, I don't believe it's a simple yes or no. However, the world is trying to force us into celebrating, condoning it and even performing the ceremony. I believe they are 100% wrong in deliberately targeting Christians because it is persecution of the Church, nothing more/nothing less and it's that simple except in a very few cases (see Kim Davies and Google search other targeting of Christian bakers, florists, etc.). However, I know a gay man whose love for God and Christ Jesus was much more important to him to him than his "lusts" for other men. One of the BEST and most Christian female friend I ever had was in love with him. He was determined to do whatever it took to overcome what he knew to be an "abomination unto God," as he put it.
Looking back, I want to kick my own rear end. I was always a believer but I sure lived like the world. I begged her to leave him alone and go find someone who would love her back. She was awesome. She loved my kids as much as I did and she had my full permission to override ME if she felt I was too strict or lenient. She could discipline my kids however she saw fit (and she popped their rear end a few times and hands but her discipline was always appropriate and righteous). Not many mothers would ever allow a young baby to call another woman another form of "mommy" and be okay with it but they did and I told them to call her that. At times, they'd prefer her for comfort although they always knew who MOMMY was. She lived with my husband and I and she asked only for $30/week IF we had it. Of course we paid all of her expenses and I always gave her money beyond that $30 whenever she needed it. She liked different foods than we did, we made sure we bought them for her. She liked German food, we didn't but boy could she cook. She was my only support. I plan to find her this week and reconnect. I'm tired of missing her but I walked away because of shame on my part.
Onn.K. (her initials then), I miss you. Thank God you listened to Him and not me. I am so sorry for any pain I caused you when I did laugh at your "stupidity" in loving a gay man behind your back. I did it to your face and you knew I said it to others. I said nothing behind your back I didn't say to your face but that is my only saving grace. By the way, I'm not sure what day your anniversary will be or how many 10+ years you guys will have been married but...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! IT IS A GOD-BLESSED MARRIAGE. I pray you have many, many more years.
You both are an inspiration to many of us. Love is...patient, kind, enduring, never boastful, not proud, love endures all things. Love wins. You were patient, kind, persevered, you ran the race and won it. You married the man you loved, who loved YOU more than many because he first loved God and Christ Jesus. I don't know or care if he slipped, I know he overcame and if not for God's call first and your willingness to obey Him and stand by your love on earth but you saved him from a life of guilt, shame, and sin. There is no shame in needing human help. That's why we're here, we ARE our brother's keepers. I think you and he should write a book to inspire other young men and women who have these feelings but yet want to be right with God. Overcoming is not ever easy and rarely do we not slip but it's the determination and willingness to sacrifice your "wants and needs" to be right with Him. I think of you often, I pray for you but not sure you need my prayers but rather me needing yours. If by any chance you see this, my email is WorthyistheLamb737@aol.com or yahoo.com. Same first part. Email me and I'll send you my phone number. I cannot remember your new last name.
Yahwey God bless you both and anyone who is gay and needs help, I know this couple very well and if you contact me, I bet they'll help you. Now on to Part Two.

THE BEAUTY OF GOD IN NYC DURING AN EVIL AND UNGODLY ACT - 9/11/01
FYI,
I have been told by many I should learn to become a writer. I have zero self-confidence and even though I love to write, I am not a wordsmith and my grammar is, well, not very good. I don't know fancy words but then I thought about it and who wants to read an article or book where they need a dictionary to understand it? I sure don't. I don't have the money to go to school so guess what, I'm going to learn to write and you are going to be my readers, lol. So you know, I am very open to CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Oh, and no sandwiches either. A "criticism sandwich" is when you first say something GOOD, then you tell them what you see wrong, and then you either end there with something good OR turn it into a "criticism CLUB sandwich," in which then I will "club" you over the head with it, lol. I will be using my sense of humor a lot, scripture and my own personal opinions and experiences. I don't need coddling and if you see something wrong, tell me. Also realize I'm new and one at a time, please. Also, you have to learn my "style" of writing as it is more casual than formal and more conversational. I am not aspiring to rewrite War and Peace or the next best-seller. I enjoy writing both fictional stories, faith-based articles and songs/poetry. I don't want accolades or praise, nor do I plan to write for money, although I do hope to write something of value worthy to be published for the glory of God. I have never dreamed of wealth and to be honest, it feels like it would be more of a curse to me than a blessing. I want enough with extra to give but I have never been high maintenance. I love thrift stores, Dollar stores and Dollar Generals. I really love flea markets and yard sales. Okay, here goes...
The Beauty of God in NYC in a Very Evil and UnGodly Act (9/11/2001 NYC)
Written by: Brenda Alexander
January 21, 2017
I am a 56 year old Christian woman, married to David for 28 years now. Oh, the first years were both good and bad. We had a very rough spot in the middle that, to be honest, tear 95% of marriages apart. It wasn't about the big 3...money, cheating or sex. It was about loss of children in a custody battle, not death but separation of thousands of miles and basically having your heart ripped out. To say I was mad at God was an understatement but without Him, I'd never have made it through. However, I was also blessed and I learned that family has nothing to do with blood. Family is all about love. There's a saying that goes "friends are better than family because you get to choose your friends." Well, I have to say that I have found many times over that this is more true than you may realize. While I love my blood family dearly, I am actually much closer to my friends than my family. I was always the "odd man out." I was so sure I was adopted that one day I went hunting down my birth certificate to PROVE I did not belong to "those people." I am polar opposite of every singe one of them except my grandmother. I never belonged and I don't today. I am fine with that. Family can be very toxic and sometimes God may call you to get away from them. He did that to me and today, although for 2 1/2 years I have never understood why He brought me to this horrible place where I was so miserable but today, I thank Him repeatedly for it. His ways are infinitely better than mine. I am glad to be away from those crazy people, lol. All kidding aside, I do love them but truth be told, we have not a thing in common. Not one thing but my friends, ah we have so much fun and yes, we disagree all the time but they build me up, support me and even tell me the truth. How novel! They do not coddle me or sooth my feelings. One comes right out and tells me I've lost my mind if I think to highly of my own thoughts! I love my hand-picked family as much as my blood one.
After our loss but during the custody battle, God blessed us with our marriage going from not speaking to being unable to keep our hands off each other. He got a new job and we traveled to 37 or 38 states. I've been to every state on the east coast and as far west as Arizona, to Fargo of all places but 2 of the most memorable were one, I was in NYC 4 days after 9/11. I'd been there 4 years earlier, loved it but very emotionally cold and distant. I saw the worst of man and the beauty of God that day. People were hugging, crying, praying and doing whatever they possibly could to bring comfort. Strangers were reaching out to everyone. Flowers and candles were everywhere. People came to me with pictures asking me if I'd seen this person and to have to say no, I was just visiting was THE hardest thing I've ever had to say. I literally wanted to scream. Yes, literally. I don't like saying no ever but to say it then was pure, unadulterated hell on earth. To see this flash of hope for a second to see it go away in a flash would bring the hardest of hearts to its knees. Yet still, His beauty shined through. I was not living for Him yet I have never felt His presence in quite the same way. I begged the people guarding the area to let me go dig but nothing I said worked. That's all I wanted to do but they wouldn't risk my life because it was so unstable. I felt unworthy, helpless and in total despair.
So much evil. The smoke could be seen hundreds of miles away. There was a layer of dust an inch deep 8 to 10 blocks away. Yet the sun shined. God was there. I saw ordinary men and women who became extraordinary. I saw a broken, heartless city turn into a city of LOVE in less than 10 minutes. Race, creed, sexual orientation or national origin did not matter that day. It wasn't a Muslim attack that day. It wasn't a conspiracy theory and there was mass confusion and chaos but for a short time, that fled away and love, grace, mercy, compassion, empathy, sympathy, kindness, humility, and while the absolute worst of humanity could be seen forever, the overwhelming presence of our Creator,our Father Yahwey in Heaven and Christ Jesus outshone it all. I saw tears, fears, hope and love.
Nine-Eleven changed the world in very profound ways. I don't know the truth but I don't think we've been told the truth. I have some thoughts and all are based on what is clearly seen, not guesses. However, no matter what satan attempted to do, he didn't win. He never will and if you choose his side, he'll take you down with him. He doesn't love you. God does. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Sin weighs you down and kills you. Choose life! Choose to believe and trust that Jesus Christ is Lord and your Savior to be saved. That's all. It's that hard and that easy. The battle is over and it's been won on Calvary!
God bless you all and much love in Christ Jesus,

I have been told by many I should learn to become a writer. I have zero self-confidence and even though I love to write, I am not a wordsmith and my grammar is, well, not very good. I don't know fancy words but then I thought about it and who wants to read an article or book where they need a dictionary to understand it? I sure don't. I don't have the money to go to school so guess what, I'm going to learn to write and you are going to be my readers, lol. So you know, I am very open to CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. Oh, and no sandwiches either. A "criticism sandwich" is when you first say something GOOD, then you tell them what you see wrong, and then you either end there with something good OR turn it into a "criticism CLUB sandwich," in which then I will "club" you over the head with it, lol. I will be using my sense of humor a lot, scripture and my own personal opinions and experiences. I don't need coddling and if you see something wrong, tell me. Also realize I'm new and one at a time, please. Also, you have to learn my "style" of writing as it is more casual than formal and more conversational. I am not aspiring to rewrite War and Peace or the next best-seller. I enjoy writing both fictional stories, faith-based articles and songs/poetry. I don't want accolades or praise, nor do I plan to write for money, although I do hope to write something of value worthy to be published for the glory of God. I have never dreamed of wealth and to be honest, it feels like it would be more of a curse to me than a blessing. I want enough with extra to give but I have never been high maintenance. I love thrift stores, Dollar stores and Dollar Generals. I really love flea markets and yard sales. Okay, here goes...
The Beauty of God in NYC in a Very Evil and UnGodly Act (9/11/2001 NYC)
Written by: Brenda Alexander
January 21, 2017
I am a 56 year old Christian woman, married to David for 28 years now. Oh, the first years were both good and bad. We had a very rough spot in the middle that, to be honest, tear 95% of marriages apart. It wasn't about the big 3...money, cheating or sex. It was about loss of children in a custody battle, not death but separation of thousands of miles and basically having your heart ripped out. To say I was mad at God was an understatement but without Him, I'd never have made it through. However, I was also blessed and I learned that family has nothing to do with blood. Family is all about love. There's a saying that goes "friends are better than family because you get to choose your friends." Well, I have to say that I have found many times over that this is more true than you may realize. While I love my blood family dearly, I am actually much closer to my friends than my family. I was always the "odd man out." I was so sure I was adopted that one day I went hunting down my birth certificate to PROVE I did not belong to "those people." I am polar opposite of every singe one of them except my grandmother. I never belonged and I don't today. I am fine with that. Family can be very toxic and sometimes God may call you to get away from them. He did that to me and today, although for 2 1/2 years I have never understood why He brought me to this horrible place where I was so miserable but today, I thank Him repeatedly for it. His ways are infinitely better than mine. I am glad to be away from those crazy people, lol. All kidding aside, I do love them but truth be told, we have not a thing in common. Not one thing but my friends, ah we have so much fun and yes, we disagree all the time but they build me up, support me and even tell me the truth. How novel! They do not coddle me or sooth my feelings. One comes right out and tells me I've lost my mind if I think to highly of my own thoughts! I love my hand-picked family as much as my blood one.
After our loss but during the custody battle, God blessed us with our marriage going from not speaking to being unable to keep our hands off each other. He got a new job and we traveled to 37 or 38 states. I've been to every state on the east coast and as far west as Arizona, to Fargo of all places but 2 of the most memorable were one, I was in NYC 4 days after 9/11. I'd been there 4 years earlier, loved it but very emotionally cold and distant. I saw the worst of man and the beauty of God that day. People were hugging, crying, praying and doing whatever they possibly could to bring comfort. Strangers were reaching out to everyone. Flowers and candles were everywhere. People came to me with pictures asking me if I'd seen this person and to have to say no, I was just visiting was THE hardest thing I've ever had to say. I literally wanted to scream. Yes, literally. I don't like saying no ever but to say it then was pure, unadulterated hell on earth. To see this flash of hope for a second to see it go away in a flash would bring the hardest of hearts to its knees. Yet still, His beauty shined through. I was not living for Him yet I have never felt His presence in quite the same way. I begged the people guarding the area to let me go dig but nothing I said worked. That's all I wanted to do but they wouldn't risk my life because it was so unstable. I felt unworthy, helpless and in total despair.
So much evil. The smoke could be seen hundreds of miles away. There was a layer of dust an inch deep 8 to 10 blocks away. Yet the sun shined. God was there. I saw ordinary men and women who became extraordinary. I saw a broken, heartless city turn into a city of LOVE in less than 10 minutes. Race, creed, sexual orientation or national origin did not matter that day. It wasn't a Muslim attack that day. It wasn't a conspiracy theory and there was mass confusion and chaos but for a short time, that fled away and love, grace, mercy, compassion, empathy, sympathy, kindness, humility, and while the absolute worst of humanity could be seen forever, the overwhelming presence of our Creator,our Father Yahwey in Heaven and Christ Jesus outshone it all.

MY PRAYER
Dear Yahwey, my Father in Heaven,
In all that I say and do, I pray I bring glory and honor to your most Holiest Name. You sustain me, You love me and sometimes You chasten me. Most times You bless me even though I don't deserve it but that's because You raise me up to be the best I can be.
I pray for forgiveness and I pray for the grace to forgive anyone who hurts me. I pray for those who hate me for Your Name that they may be unblinded to the Truth of Jesus Christ, my Lord, my Savior, my reason to breathe.
Today I witnessed Your grace first-hand. My prayers were heard and answered. To my knowledge, no one was killed today because of the horrors and shame of the last year. I feel as if You extended grace back to America even though we went against Israel. I pray that our allegiance to Israel has been finally restored. I also pray Your Name will be honored in our public square once again.
Your grace is amazing, Your love is something no human words can describe. If tomorrow everything falls away, Your Word stands forever and I got to witness Your love in action today once again. In Jesus Christ's Name I pray to you, my Father, who art in Heaven!

BEST INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO IN A LONG, LONG TIME - MUST SEE!!!!
One of the best, most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Go grab tissues, toilet paper or hubby/wife's sleeve cos if you have a heart, you're gonna need it. It's about 10 minutes long but you MUST watch every single second. God is alive and well! We knew that but....

EPHESIANS 2:8-9 = GRACE!
"For ye are SAVED by GRACE through Faith and NOT of YOURSELF. It is a GIFT OF GOD. NOT of works (nor deeds) lest ANY man should BOAST."
IF there be any verse in the Bible I love more than the others, this one (along with Romans 8:28) has got to be my favorite. Here is why...
We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. That's Romans 3:28, btw. We serve a righteous and HOLY God Yahwey. I know that there is nothing I can do, say, think or feel that would ever meet HIS standards of righteousness. I'd go to hell as fast as a speeding bullet, even if I obeyed every singe law written 99.99999% of the time. I'd pretty much have to live in total isolation but I'm positive I'd still sin. My own standards of righteousness, which aren't very high to be honest (I tend to have loopholes in mine, lol but God does NOT), I am unable to even come close to them and I'm a human. If I can't achieve my own "reasonable" degree of holiness and righteousness, I'll never meet Yahwey's. It's that simple.
See, right now I'm not real pleased with my attitude. I am very much first and foremost a Christian, then a wife, mother of 5 grown kids, mommy to 3 pet babies, a very caring and giving person and can forgive anyone but myself. Somewhere in that list I am also extremely conservative politically. I also know what I am not. I'm not a racist, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, deplorable and I am certainly not unredeemable but even more important, I KNOW I am not nor ever will be on this side of Heaven, be perfect. Paul said he was the "chief of sinners." Well, Paul never met me, lol.
It has been a very hard year. The country, church, friends and family are so divided today. I will be honest, it is extremely annoying to see these "young to old adults" throwing temper tantrums, wailing at the unfairness of it all, screaming for violence, DOING violent acts, etc. It is driving me INSANE. That's one reason I DID take time off the computer. I had had enough. It's OVER. We have a new president, Donald J. Trump, and like it or not, there is nothing you can or should even attempt to do anything about. If you are anti-Trump, God doesn't give up on you, don't judge Trump or look at what he may or may not have done in the past. Remove the board out of your own eye first...remember??? The only thing that matters now is what he does and doesn't do starting today. Do not fear, he will be THE most watched man in the world, lol. We also have checks and balances; fail safes in case any POTUS tries to take over and go against our Constitution. Many come close to crossing the line but never cross it. Neither will Trump. God is sovereign and not one thing will happen that He doesn't have planned but it won't always be what we want or think of as good either. However, we are promised in Romans 8:28 that ALL things will work out, be they good OR bad. Trust God, not Trump or any "man."
So I am fighting an ugly battle with self lately and my flesh. I have this nasty little attitude of "We won, you lost, hahahaha. Grow up and get over it. I TOLD YOU SO." That's what I'm thinking, feeling and saying and I don't like it. Yet it gives me great pleasurable emotions when I do. No, I am not happy with myself and I highly doubt Christ Jesus is overly thrilled with me either. I want to feel empathy, compassion and grace towards this childish behavior but I don't. It will go away soon but this is why Ephesians 2:8-9 means so much to me right now. I am SAVED. I am saved by GRACE and not because of what I do and say or don't do or so. I am also forgiven for this character flaw I'm so guilty of tonight and it too will pass. I am so grateful though that when it is gone, I'll have learned something more valuable than gold. If I wasn't saved, He wouldn't be convicting me. I'm going to try to fix this attitude but in the end, I can't. However, the One Who will, walks on water!
God bless you all. Be safe and God won. I noticed a theme over the last 24 hours and His name, the Bible or scripture was mentioned more times in the last 2 days than I've seen in the last 2 years! God is GOOD!

HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY!
I sure have missed you all, especially being on my Google communities. Wow, it's been almost 2 months. I am so sorry but I just had so much to do and I needed a HUGE dose of the Holy Spirit. God is faithful. Now that I've been ready, every single day something new...and exciting...has happened that's prevented me from jumping in. From time with God all the way to finding an old friend, I've just been greatly blessed. I've found so much I want to share and tell you all I've learned but something (sometimes just life stuff) has prevented it. So.....
Today is THE day I've been looking forward to for a year. While I have never been political a day in my life, I got pulled into this nightmare kicking and screaming all the way. So yeah, that screaming you heard WASN'T IN YOUR MIND, LOL. It was ME! All kidding aside, since this nightmare will officially be over (I pray) as of noon tomorrow, it is my prayer that my life gets back to doing what I want and that is to love and worship Christ JePlasus. I've lost most of my family, a few friends but reconnected with long lost friends who I have greatly missed and well, found YOU guys. You've literally helped me stay sane this last year. It was the worst for me being all alone in a new state, having no one and basically disowned by my ultra-liberal family. There's a saying that goes...friends are better than family because you CHOOSE your friends. I love my family but I've lost almost all respect for them. They didn't respect me to begin with so what did I lose? I feel I gained everything. I am at peace, happy, and have some pretty awesome friends and serve THE only true living and AMAZING God!
So, be happy, blessed and safe tomorrow. Play the "I'm keeping my mouth shut" card as often as needed. Tensions are high and this insane world is looking for a reason to justify violence. DO NOT give them one. Also, for your own safety, avoid wearing RED. I'm not trying to be all paranoid or scare you, just be aware of your surroundings, avoid discussing politics around strangers or with them and pray, pray and then pray again. Stay home tomorrow night as those who feel we "won," will be celebrating and getting drunk (some, not all) and those who "lost" will be getting drunk (some, not all) to drown their sorrows. Judgment on both sides will fly out the window and drunk drivers don't discriminate. My car is full of TRUMP stickers, it is not leaving the parking lot. Pray for Spiritual guidance and always remember this...
No matter if someone's "emotions" are rational or make a lick of sense to you, they have a right to feel anything. Some are really hurting and scared. We aren't here to be their moral police or judge, we are called to a higher purpose. Be a good example of Christ Jesus, especially tomorrow!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEREMY. I LOVE YOU. (My son's b'day) and HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY TO ALL. GOD YAHWEY BLESS YOU ALWAYS!
I promise by Monday I will be back to my blogs and my pages, unless God has better plans for me. Love you all and miss you in Christ Jesus!

HEBREW WORD OF THE DAY
I'm gonna have some "fun" with this word, lol
LEFT!
LEFT!
"real picture for left"
NOW FOR SOME FUN...
LEFTIST AMERICA, HAHAHAHAHAHA
Real good "moral" endorsement, right?
Maybe, just maybe these celebrities who have threatened to leave, refused to perform or applaud pedophiles but refuse to uphold a woman's right to be protected from predators claiming to be "transgender" just to get into our bathrooms is THE best thing to happen to America EVER. I hear many young people saying they'll not ever waste another dime on Hellywood, calling it trash and dried up, talentless hacks who are only famous for seeing just how depraved and disgusting they can be (Google Miley Cyrus) for money. We've become fat and lazy to the point where we may not know where our keys are but we sure MUST know where the TV remote is. Before DVRs, our schedules revolved around our television programs. Maybe we'll get off our hinneys and start "doing" stuff for entertainment, like going fishing, bike ridings, playing hide and go seek with our kids or doing something fun and interesting. We might actually LEARN. What a concept!
Yeah, I made fun of our leftist country. I still love them but just don't have much sympathy for being forced to grow up and realize that freedom isn't free and everyone has the exact same rights. If you don't want to own a gun, don't buy one and don't break the law or into someone's home who may legally own one. Problem solved. Also, learn that making words sound "pretty" hurts. Doctors did a study on how to tell families their loved one "passed away." You sound harsh but it IS the only way that works and you must say, "I'm sorry but we did all we could but your ________ DIED." Passed away, is in a better place, sleeping, or anything else doesn't sink in. It actually delays the process. The truth hurts sometimes. However, just because you have the RIGHT to say something, it also doesn't mean it's RIGHT to say it. We need balance and unity. Let's come together, be of one voice, one accord and we can make REAL HOPE AND CHANGE IN 2017!

I'M TRYING TO GET BACK TO YOU - PART TWO
Hi Dear Ones,
It seems as all I've done for almost 2 months is make excuses. I have been a bad friend, moderator, blog owner, page owner, not a very good supportive friend, etc. It started out with eye strain, then Bible study and just through a series of both good and bad, even though I wanted and tried to get back, God had other plans. I was either sick, spending quality time with my family, reconnecting with my personal friends and family and well, just letting God show Himself to me away from any outside stimulus, even to a point the Bible!
I told you last night or so I met up with an old but awesome friend I never thought I'd hear from and although I mentioned to Him I wish he'd stayed in my life, it NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS occurred to me that I'd ever find him again and 2 days later, in a split second, I'd have missed him. And people say there's no God! I use to feel they get what they deserve and in a weird way, just said they don't HAVE to choose hell but now, I feel so much empathy and sorrow...genuine sorrow...for those who refuse to see. Yes, I get frustrated and really angry with them, not so much if they attack me cos i DO NOT CARE but I see them hurting my brothers and sisters and I get really mad.
But now, I see how much they are missing and it's just their refusal to give God 1 week ... just one week... to show Himself.
So, first of all, I will over say the next week, get back to my routine but right now, my friend and I are really in person (although not in person but the phone) doing Bible studies and just sharing our testimonies, our experiences and the amazing way that 12 years melted and we just picked up where we left off. All because of an evil influence on a mutual acquaintance who lied, was jealous, a user, taker, and someone so self-centered and did some pretty bad things to his children but the amazing thing is, we instantly knew the truth, said let's forgive and forget, and we've been yakking for hours, praising God and it has just been awesome. He was there when I needed him and we were both believers but not living for Him. I had no idea he'd bee saved. All I did was say, "Father, I am so sorry I let John out of my life. I miss him." Two days later, or 3, in 5 minutes he was in my life.
I'm not surprised that he's back in my life (ok, yes I am) but the timing is just something I cannot get past. We serve a God that could grow an Apple tree in my bed tonight. He wont but He could. There is no prayer, want, desire, need that He cannot do but He is not a magician or He does NOT play those kinds of games. However, He loves for us to play with Him. He delights in it so be a child and play cloud games. Dance with your dog and make up hand signs so if you want to worship Him, make a sign. HAVE FUN.
So forgive me and although I planned to come back, God had an amazing and awesome plan that I wouldn't trade. Thanks to the moderators who helped. I haven't forgotten you but I had to go through something personal (not good) but was blessed immensely. You are RICH BEYOND MEASURE. I don't care what your bank account is whether to the good or bad matters not but when you can almost literally see, feel, touch, hear and taste God when no one else can, you will know just how little I own that I'd ever not be willing to talk away from but you, my loved ones, nope. I'd hunt you down, lol. Be patient and I'll get back to bugging you guys relentlessly soon. I never meant to be gone so long and even I realize I sound like I'm making excuses and except for one area where I needed to make sure I needed pain mediation, it was just one blessing after another but pain and some minor discomfort to the point I couldn't emotionally be on social media, it's been life circumstances. I'll do my best.
My best advice...stop looking for an angel, to be transported or falling but being caught in softness at the last second and find the miracle. I see at least one per day ad I urge you to tell me in the best way you can what you saw. Metaphors are good. I also have a gift with dreams and while I may not be right, I do see God in most dreams and will be happy to help BUT I cannot know what is going on. I am not a psychic AT ALL. Either the Holy Spirit speaks BUT never men.
It seems as all I've done for almost 2 months is make excuses. I have been a bad friend, moderator, blog owner, page owner, not a very good supportive friend, etc. It started out with eye strain, then Bible study and just through a series of both good and bad, even though I wanted and tried to get back, God had other plans. I was either sick, spending quality time with my family, reconnecting with my personal friends and family and well, just letting God show Himself to me away from any outside stimulus, even to a point the Bible!
I told you last night or so I met up with an old but awesome friend I never thought I'd hear from and although I mentioned to Him I wish he'd stayed in my life, it NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS occurred to me that I'd ever find him again and 2 days later, in a split second, I'd have missed him. And people say there's no God! I use to feel they get what they deserve and in a weird way, just said they don't HAVE to choose hell but now, I feel so much empathy and sorrow...genuine sorrow...for those who refuse to see. Yes, I get frustrated and really angry with them, not so much if they attack me cos i DO NOT CARE but I see them hurting my brothers and sisters and I get really mad.
But now, I see how much they are missing and it's just their refusal to give God 1 week ... just one week... to show Himself.
So, first of all, I will over say the next week, get back to my routine but right now, my friend and I are really in person (although not in person but the phone) doing Bible studies and just sharing our testimonies, our experiences and the amazing way that 12 years melted and we just picked up where we left off. All because of an evil influence on a mutual acquaintance who lied, was jealous, a user, taker, and someone so self-centered and did some pretty bad things to his children but the amazing thing is, we instantly knew the truth, said let's forgive and forget, and we've been yakking for hours, praising God and it has just been awesome. He was there when I needed him and we were both believers but not living for Him. I had no idea he'd bee saved. All I did was say, "Father, I am so sorry I let John out of my life. I miss him." Two days later, or 3, in 5 minutes he was in my life.
I'm not surprised that he's back in my life (ok, yes I am) but the timing is just something I cannot get past. We serve a God that could grow an Apple tree in my bed tonight. He wont but He could. There is no prayer, want, desire, need that He cannot do but He is not a magician or He does NOT play those kinds of games. However, He loves for us to play with Him. He delights in it so be a child and play cloud games. Dance with your dog and make up hand signs so if you want to worship Him, make a sign. HAVE FUN.
So forgive me and although I planned to come back, God had an amazing and awesome plan that I wouldn't trade. Thanks to the moderators who helped. I haven't forgotten you but I had to go through something personal (not good) but was blessed immensely. You are RICH BEYOND MEASURE. I don't care what your bank account is whether to the good or bad matters not but when you can almost literally see, feel, touch, hear and taste God when no one else can, you will know just how little I own that I'd ever not be willing to talk away from but you, my loved ones, nope. I'd hunt you down, lol. Be patient and I'll get back to bugging you guys relentlessly soon. I never meant to be gone so long and even I realize I sound like I'm making excuses and except for one area where I needed to make sure I needed pain mediation, it was just one blessing after another but pain and some minor discomfort to the point I couldn't emotionally be on social media, it's been life circumstances. I'll do my best.
My best advice...stop looking for an angel, to be transported or falling but being caught in softness at the last second and find the miracle. I see at least one per day ad I urge you to tell me in the best way you can what you saw. Metaphors are good. I also have a gift with dreams and while I may not be right, I do see God in most dreams and will be happy to help BUT I cannot know what is going on. I am not a psychic AT ALL. Either the Holy Spirit speaks BUT never men.
MESSAGE TO MY DEAR ONES - PART ONE
Hi Dear Ones!
God is always with us. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. Trust in Him with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength and we have nothing to fear. Our battles are not against flesh and bone but is a Spiritual battle fought in the Spiritual realm. However, a little over 2,000 years ago, one dark day, one Man, One God proclaimed VICTORY! Salvation came to the world. Thank you, Christ Jesus, for the amazing LOVE and GRACE you poured out on this world through Your pure, perfect and righteous blood on THE cross, that horrible but so awesome day on Calvary. How can I thank you and be grateful in my heart knowing what You had to endure? Yahwey, it's hard on me. I'm so sorry but yet not. I have to remember You rose again. Then, and only then, does my heart leap for joy! I see you every single day. I see so much ugliness and sometimes I lose sight of our overwhelming beautify in this fallen world but You promised never to leave nor forsake me, no matter what. I strayed but I always heard that still, small voice.
Let us join together at 10 pm Thursday night for a prayer circle together. Let us pray that we repent and return to our God...Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that Trump obeys the Holy Spirit and we be a beacon of light for a very fallen world. Trust God, not Trump. He is going to be in control.
Be forever blessed, full of grace, mercy and love!

THE GOSPEL, SALT AND LIGHT AND WATCH! EXPOSING THE WORLD AND THEIR LIES!
Hi My Dear Ones!
I am trying to get back to sharing and posting on Google Plus and my blogs but some good (and bad) things have gotten in the way. Life! We're not to be overly concerned with the cares of THIS world and set our sights on our HEAVENLY lives but we are also told to WATCH. We also live in this world and we are...
The SALT of the earth! Salt tastes good and seasons well but we tend to forget that salt is also very abrasive, hurts when it gets in a cut but it is also very healing. Jesus Christ never called us the SUGAR of the world, did He? You can't be truly effective in our job, which is to lead others to Christ Jesus if we leave off the salt.
Oh, I am so guilty of this. I do great at sharing God's love, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, all the GOOD things people "like" to hear but am a dismal failure at one, if not THE, most important aspect of sharing the true Gospel of Salvation and that's SIN. How can one be convicted by the Holy Spirit if we don't tell them that without forgiveness, we are and will never be more than wretched, naked, shameful and utter and complete failures no matter what we do, no matter how many good deeds/works we do, how much money we give to the needy or if we devote our entire lives to working for the Lord? We ALL sin. We ALL fall short. The wages of SIN is death but we can have life everlasting IF we trust and believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh (John 1:1) died, was buried and rose again to be the bridge between separation and reconciliation from man(kind) and God. There is no other name under the sun by which anyone can be saved. I am a sinner and so are you. To say you have no sin is to be a liar. The only perfect and sin-free Man/God that walked on this earth can still walk on water!
We are also to be watchmen. Know the signs of the times, the seasons and be absolutely grounded in the Holy Bible. NEVER allow yourselves to be deceived by false doctrines, false Jesus' and the doctrines of demons. Be always prepared to give good and righteous answers for your faith. Believe it or not, all you need is the Bible and not another book. No denominational or organizational publications are needed and, in fact, so badly twist the scriptures and actually add to, leave off or twist them to fit their doctrine. Let this be a lesson to you please. Make sure your doctrine or tenets of your faith line up with scripture. If they don't and you need a man-written book to make it fit, YOU ARE IN A CULT, no matter how "harmless" it may seem.
The Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, do not believe that Jesus Christ is God. They believe He was created (goes directly against John 1:1 as well as MANY others; that He is the Archangel Michael (Jude 1:9 clears this up nicely in 2 ways - contact me if you need help discerning just how as it's a wee bit tricky and easy to miss because I did until 3 different men of God told me the same thing. I always make sure 2-3 agree on scripture before accepting it as fact (or close enough to it so as not to be deceived. They also believe that God is through with the Jews, only a small number of people will go to Heaven and that the others will live in a substandard type of Heaven on earth.
Be watchful of any church, regardless of the name (be it Baptist, Pentacostal, SDA, Presbyterian, etc.) where the pastor/group leader restricts you. By that I mean if they dictate any of the following, you are probably in a cult or cult-like church....
They tell you...
What you can wear
What you can or cannot do with your own body not upheld by scripture
Associate with anyone, even family, outside that "church" or denomination
Calls themselves "non-denominational"
Forbids you to wear jewelry, cut your hair, women wearing pants, etc.
Shuns you as punishment and puts you out if you go outside the organization and in order to return, no one is allowed to associate with you in the group for any length of time
which is usually 6 to 12 months until you prove yourself "worthy"
The pastor/group leader's needs always come first
Your personal needs do not matter, only the group/group leaders
Mandatory tithing
Refusal to accept tithes (well, offerings)
Your righteousness depends on the "standards of righteousness" set by pastor/group
Claims to be a "remnant" church and the ONLY church you can attend to be with the Lord
Anti-semitic
Separates men and women, even married couples
Women are treated as subservient to men
Forbidden to celebrate ANY holidays from Christmas to National to personal days like
birthdays, anniversaries, etc. or Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, New Year's Eve
The only Bible you are allowed to study is the one they authorize
Their Bible studies are from man-written publications and only authorized verses are to be
taken into account
You are not encouraged to ask questions
Active participation is not allowed in Bible studies and MUST be answered by their
outside literature
You are forbidden to study the Bible, esp other versions, without using their books at the
same time
LAST BUT NOT LEAST...the rewrite the Bible!
We are to be good Bereans. Search the scriptures each time you are told something to see if it is true. That's what a group of early Christians...called "the Bereans"...did whenever someone told them something that was new to them. Be a GREAT Berean. The New Testament, the Covenant of Grace, is exactly what it says, NEW. It doesn't mean it's the BETTER Testament. You will never fully understand the NT until you learn the OT and what it really is all about. If you think you can take Judaism out of Christianity, you will stay confused and unlearned. The Old is just as relevant today, if not more so, than ever before. Go to Bible.org, type in "4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse" and there's 3-4 different sites you can choose from but it gives you OT info that brings Revelation into such clarity it will blow your mind. If you enjoy, as I do, seeing just how amazing and TRUE the Holy Bible HAS TO BE, do not let yourself miss out on this. It is THE most amazing...so much fun you start thinking that anything this much fun MUST be a sin...and joyous/delightful/awesome journey you will ever take. Don't allow yourself to miss this. You don't have to look far and maybe just learning one thing will be enough for you but it won't be. When you see how a book written 3,000 years before another and they say the exact same thing long before/after each other and before the Canon was put together so there wasn't a Bible like today with concordances, dictionaries, commentaries, and parallel verses HARMONIZE PERFECTLY, it will stun you that people just don't "get it."
Last, this is very political. What a horrible year it was and for me, I thank God and trust Him completely, that Trump winning was Him being God Almighty as His will WILL be done. Do we get to choose if we fall or be a beacon of His Light and Love to the world. As for me, I choose God Yahwey. I am going to be the Light for Jesus Christ, the Salt of the Earth and be a good and faithful servant to the death. We're not to willfully lay down our lives, we just know many will lose their life for their faith but we are never told to just allow the "world" to kill you. This is something you have to learn for yourself but ask yourself this, to Christ Jesus, what good to Him is a willing martyr? Are we of more use to His glory on top of the ground or 6 feet under? What good to this world (the unbelievers) is another "dead Christian" to those who are seeing the truth of God's Word? Who will they turn to if there are few Christians. Even Jesus Christ told His Apostles to sell whatever they had to BUY swords for self-protection.
The liberals lost this election. Half the country is happy, half is not. Half are acting like petulant children. We are going to suffer trials and tribulations. We are to be patient, forgiving and kind. We are also to trust in God and God alone. I pray for Trump but I only trust that God will use him for His will. God's will is perfect so if you like him, don't like him or are apathetic, if you truly live by His Word, WHY are you worried? This is just my POV after much prayer but I truly feel no fear from Donald Trump, no matter what he did in the past. Look at your past and would you trust YOU? I doubt it unless you are SELF-righteous and think more highly of yourself than you ought.
I want you to take a look at this Yahoo "slideshow" (24 pics) that "prove" Barron Trump (who MAY be autistic, not sure and what does it matter if he is? Read what the liberal media says about how this "rich white boy" is living such a LAVISH lifestyle and be sure to read what they say to uphold this "theory." Do not buy into satan's lies, the liberal media's lies and the double-speak and hypocrisy of this liberal agenda. They blast Trump and Melania for...being what I call some pretty awesome, responsible and loving parents. The funniest one I read was "Barron lives a lavish lifestyle because, OF ALL THINGS, he is a "natural born" athlete AND he likes science and math. Yes, they are all this hypocritical. Great characteristics and yeah, he wants to be like his dad. Most 9 year old boys with a strong male role model for a father DOES want to be like "dad," be he a fast food worker or President of the U.S.A.
God bless, I love you guys and this is a mixture of my personal opinion, some Biblical scripture and also information taken from some articles I read on Bible.org. Enjoy the slideshow! I may try to copy and post cos they take these down quite often and you really need to see how bad it is getting as far as how far we've walked away from what is truly important...Our Father, Son and Holy Spirit as found in the Holy Canon of Scripture by the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob...OUR GOD YAWHEY!
BE FOREVER BLESSED, FULL OF GRACE, MERCY, COMPASSION AND LOVE. SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION IN FIRST CORINTHIANS 15:1-11, EPHESIANS 2:8-9; JOHN 3:16 AND ROMANS 3:23 AND 6:23!

HEBREW WORD STUDY - KIPPUR (ATONEMENT PART ONE)
Atonement
Reysh Pey Kaf
Kippur
The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur was a ceremony initiated by God Himself. It began immediately after the death of Nadab and Abihu, the two sons of Aaron that attempted to improve on God’s instructions regarding the temple offerings and decided to add their own unauthorized fire offering to the Lord. The Lord was not pleased with the “strange fire” the two sons of Aaron presumptuously offered in His presence. Their lives were taken and a great lesson regarding the Holiness of God was temporarily learned.
SHALOM!
