DEPLORABLE? OKAY. UNREDEEMABLE? I DON'T THINK SO!!!
I try to keep this blog unpolitical. I hate politics. By their very nature, it's dirty business. We all want a "Christian" president but will we get one? Should it matter? Yes, but God's will is going to be done. However, I believe we are unique. We aren't directly mentioned in the Bible. Maybe, just maybe, that's because we were created UNDER GOD and possibly it's up to us to choose HIM again. So maybe according to Hillary Clinton I am deplorable. I don't think so but unredeemable? God forbid! I have a book called The Holy Bible that tells me ALL of us, even her, are redeemable. So in answer, I made this tonight for fun. What do you guys think?
Amen and God bless you all!

WORD OF TRUTH LIGHTHOUSE - BY: JULIE COHICK
" JESUS, the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our Faith "
What is faith and where does it come from ? GOD's WORD has a great definition for faith in the book of Hebrews Chapter 1 vs.1& 2 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen. For by it (faith) the elders obtained a good testimony.
Without faith, in our everyday lives, we could not exist. Think about all the things that you just take for granted, everyday, that just work. You sit on human made chairs and by faith you plop down on them never giving it a thought that they may collapse under your weight. You drive over bridges, also man made, and never give it any thought that the bridge may collapse under your car. I'm not a person that likes heights. Now I have flown from PA to LA and back, in beautiful weather, and I was blessed to get the window seat during certain parts of the flight. My nose was glued to the window. I thought I would be afraid to be up that high, but the sun and the clouds were so beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Coming home, I landed in Phila.at night and as we circled to land the first thing I thought of was that Phila.looked like a huge Christmas Tree from the air. The lights of the city from that height was breathtaking. But I have an awful fear of going up in a skyscraper, you know, one of those with the windows that go all the way from the floor to the ceiling. I can sit here, in my chair, and think about walking up to the window, with the toes of my shoes touching the window, and looking down I start to break out in a sweat and get dizzy, just thinking about it. So faith is a part of every ones daily life.

JUST AS I AM - THAT'S HOW HE ACCEPTS US! MY TESTIMONY
MY TESTIMONY
I want to share a story with you. I am worthless. I am a nobody. I have nothing to give. I'm a liar, thief, adultress, you name it. If it's part of His commandments, I'm sure in some way I've broken them all. I am a sinner. Why, Lord, why ME? I have nothing. I am nothing. All I have is an unshakable love for you. I met you 54 years ago and I fell in love with you. I gave you my heart at 6 but couldn't make if "official" until 12. I learned all I need to know from my grandmother. She wasn't well educated but she sure knew You. She couldn't tell me what many verses meant but she sure could make it simple. "Brenda, if you want to know if you're doing something wrong, ask yourself if Jesus came right that minute, would you be ashamed or proud of Him catching you doing that." Well, I didn't always do it BUT I always remembered it. I tried to pass that down to my children but well, I doubt they believe in You, Lord. That is my fault. But You heard my call and I heard You! I knew that voice. I hadn't heard it too many times but once is enough.
I weighed 80 lbs and couldn't walk. I was in a depression so deep and had fought...and lost...the biggest battle anyone should ever have to fight. To say our government is corrupt is an understatement. I tried to stay strong, Lord, I did. I had to for David's sake. I was all He had in this world. I managed to for 5 years but depression overtook me and I no longer cared. I just wanted to die so I rededicated my life to you, knowing I would die soon. I wouldn't eat. I lived on Xanax. I took as much as I could to never stay awake for more than an hour. I stared at the TV and felt nothing.
One day, I had to get up, no choice, and I heard a voice so clear I thought it was David. It said "Brenda! If you do not get out of that bed today and walk, you will die in that bed." I thought David told me that. It was THAT clear. He didn't say a word but someone did. It was not in my head. In fact, I could tell you exactly where You were standing. I KNEW YOUR VOICE. In fact, I couldn't walk to the bathroom but I believed You. I put on my shoes. I asked you how far and You said, it doesn't matter, walk. Remember, whoever reads this (if anyone does), I couldn't walk to the bathroom. I walked outside...not far but I knew it was far enough. Instantly, I felt different.
Two weeks later, I'd gained 20 plus pounds, was walking and out of my drug-induced "coma." I went to a church. I met a friend. And while ultimately, it wouldn't become my church as You had better plans, it was the beginning of an amazing journey! I wish it was pure bliss, no problems, no trials or tribulations. I wish I could say I've led many to You. I wish! I wish! I wish! I don't have to wish. I have You. I have prayer and prayer IS the most powerful tool we have. I may have forsaken you all those years but you never forgot the prayer of 6 year old me. You were always there. I heard you try to lead me back to You and I'm sorry I didn't listen. You wrote me a love letter and while I don't understand it all (GRACE - I DON'T HAVE TO), I know you love me, died for me, and saved me! I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I need reminders of that now and then!
Thank you, Christ Jesus! You've bless and chastise me, but I like that best. All good fathers disciple their children. I didn't have that growing up. I never felt loved. I never even had a father. Thank you for loving me! I love YOU too.
DID JESUS PRAY LIKE A MUSLIM?
No, and this video proves it Biblically! God Yahwey bless you!
AMEN!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
AND
MUCH LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS!
READY IN SEASON - BY: OSWALD CHAMBERS' "MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST"
"Be reading in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2)
Many of us suffer from the unbalanced tendency to "be ready" only "out of season." The season verse says, "Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season." In other words, we should "be ready" whether we feel like it or not. If we do only what we feel inclined to do, some of us would never do anything. There are some people who are totally unemployable in the spiritual realm. They are spiritually feeble and weak, and they refuse to do anything unless they are supernaturally inspired. The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
One of the worst traps a Christian worker can fall into is to become obsessed with his own exceptional moments of inspiration. When the Spirit of God gives you a tie of inspiration and insight, you tend to say, "Now that I've experienced this moment, I will always be like this for God. No, you will not, and God will make sure of that. Those times are entirely the gift of God. You cannot give them to yoursef when you choose. If you say you will only be at your best for God, as during those exceptional times, you actually become an intolerable burden on Him. You will never do anything unless God keeps you consciously aware of His inspiration to you at all times. If you make a god out of your best moments, you will find that God will fade out of your life, never to return until you are obedient in the work He has placed closest to you, and until you have learned not to be obsessed with those exceptional moments He has given you.
