Concerning Observations

Apr22

Just before New Year each year I find the following in my Site Activity Report and maybe we should all ask ourselves why, in a festive season? Or pray that during each year, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us, even if in some small and consistent way. 
That would be truly Christian.
The Site Activity Report  from Mid December to Mid January shows me 
that some Christians are disturbed by Poor Christian Behavior. 
I have alerted you about worldly religions and some Christian Cults
in some posts and have also covered some surprising things that some Christians are doing, unaccounted for – hidden and out in the open in a recent Post – so they can think twice and deal with those things because they’re not kidding Jesus. How long have you been kidding yourself and saying that’s alright

I wrote “Let’s all start this New Year on a good note – leaving ways that offend The Lord and others behind us, a thing of the past.…

In These Last Days

Apr21

In these days, so close to Jesus’ Coming, we need to keep these things in mind. Many Christians are not practicing the Carefulness they need to that Scripture speaks of concerning Preachers. Also many have a Careless attitude in regards to sin and are living with Mixed Standards. Are we following Jesus the way He intended?

Colossians 3:12-15 Reads like this:  

12 God has chosen you and made you His holy people. He loves you. So you should always clothe yourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Bear with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because The Lord forgave you. 14 Even more than all this, clothe yourself in love. Love is what holds you all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you were all called together in one body to have Peace.…

Spirit of Wisdom Hope and Blessings

Nov25

It’s Important to have Wisdom, a sense of Hope and to experience Blessings.

Psams 90:12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.

International Standard Version

Teach us to keep account of our days so we may develop inner wisdom.

New Heart English Bible

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

The NET Bible says “so that we might live wisely”

When we apply our hearts to Wisdom, we have Hope and Blessings come. Because we are not living carelessly, we are more appreciative of the blessings The Lord wishes to bestow.

No wonder Proverbs 3 says:
15 Wisdom is more precious than jewels,
and all your desires cannot equal it.
16  Long life is in wisdom’s right hand.
In wisdom’s left hand are riches and honor.…

His Faithfulness and Mercies in Every Situation

Aug20

The Lord is placing on my heart to write about His Faithfulness and

Loving Mercies  and give you some Scriptures in different translations.

There was a very stressful time I went through years ago that I

described as ‘relentless’ and for some time after that, I could not handle

the word ‘faithfulness’……..I could think of the Love of God etc but the

other baffled me – it was ouchy  to  think or hear it. For years previous,

there was a favorite song Great is Your Faithfulness I can sing again!

 

Some years later now after The Lord wonderfully came through for me, I am

comfortable with this expression again “the Faithfulness of God”…….it is

taking on new meaning for me through a rich treasury of scriptures on a

website called Bible Hub.

My present circumstances are not exactly ideal, for there is good and not so

good in my life at the moment.…

Ungodly Behavior Among Christians

Aug20

Is this you or have you been affected by it?

This post is thought provoking and is written in the interest of Unity among those who are members of His Body, bringing healing to those who need it and correction to those who need it. Grace and Peace to all.

We are called to be like Jesus, reflecting His Nature with each other and to those who don’t know Him. We are also meant to “encourage and strengthen each-other all the more as the Coming of The Lord draws near. Uplift and Edify” 1 Thess 5:11 (JV)

Every so often, I am prompted to write articles concerning Christian’s behavior because it is so necessary. Do you know that our manner is supposed to bring healing to those around us and the fragrance of Christ into someone’s day? (including our fellow Christian) Not the opposite.…

Where Are the Tares Jesus Spoke of?

Aug20

Where are the Tares Jesus spoke of in the kingdom parable? Right in the Church Scene Today! The Lord spoke of Wheat and Tares, and that both would grow together until the End of the Age. Then at that time, they would be separated and the Righteous would Shine like their Father. I want to do that, do you?

I’ve had this concern for many months now, so I have carried this message in my spirit for  about three years before writing it. There are important things that must be addressed by  all of us – like it or not. Many Christians are desperately hurting because of behavior patterns of immature Christians AND Tares (people who profess to be Christians and are not).

They go to Church and do some things that are accepted to be Christian but some of their behaviour and lifestyle indicates that they are not True Christians and even those in the world many times, can recognize that “they are not good people” – they are not portraying Jesus to them.…

Sanctified Imagination Being Restored Today

Dec30

We were made in the Image of God, a tri-part being (Body, Soul and Spirit). Our God as revealed throughout Scripture (especially the original Hebrew) is three in One – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Soul itself is our Mind, Will and Emotions. These truths are taught throughout the Body of Christ. Our spirit is the part of us that is Born Anew when we receive Jesus and He comes to live inside of us. As children of a Heavenly Father, we can have Healing and Wholeness imparted to us through the Holy Spirit who is sent to be with us throughout our days on this Earth until Jesus Comes.

I am writing about these things to bring an awareness that will facilitate Moving with God and having healthier expectations when we take a step of Faith to believe The Lord for things.

Salvation and Christian Growth

Dec25

Revising When We Find Jesus

This is for everyone to read because there are vital things left out when we found The Lord that help to make a Foundation to our lives in Christ Jesus.

Most of us found Him through the church system and many through a Christian TV program with a one minute Salvation Prayer at the end of it – yes it’s often rushed and on comes the next program, when you have just closed your eyes to pray (usually for the first time) the interruption is so sudden.

Many of us have been introduced to a Church Jesus, with things pertaining to their church, they add to your experience; many have been introduced to a Social Gospel where the scriptural need for Repentance – a change of heart where you decide to go Jesus’ way instead of your own way is left out; the cleansing Blood of Jesus with the Joy of sins forgiven (those things we have done that offend God).

Living with Courage and Hope

Dec15

We live in stressful times, around us and within sometimes.

Life is not restful like it used to be 30-40 years ago.

Situations and circumstances are challenging for many.

I would like to give you some encouragements from scriptures

I was inspired with today on BibleHub……one of the

best websites for building yourself up on God’s Word.

And we need to do this friends, each day. For those who

“don’t have the time” especially. We need to make time for reading

His words of Life for sustenance and strength.

From them often, can come healing-virtue, mentally, emotionally

and spiritually.

This can even benefit us physically. Neuroscientists report that

our thoughts do have a bearing on our health. Yes, the bible says that

“as a man thinks, so is he”.  We can think up a real storm sometimes

just by thinking too much.…

Only One Jesus – Be Aware of These Things

Dec15

All Christians are aware of different religions but many are ignorant of certain subtleties out there. We are living in the day of different gospels – different messages and prophets. This IS the day Jesus spoke of where there will be false prophets and anti-christs. The apostle Paul said that Christians can be deceived. You should read this post for yourselves  and  others.

Please make sure you have the facts – this is important!

There are many ways to fall away from The Faith – that is in Christ Jesus.

You should be aware of them. If not for your sake, for someone else.

There are actually Christians falling away to JWs (Jehovahs Witnesses)

a Christian cult called The Message by William Branham……even to

Muslim and Mormon followings.

Yes it’s true and I will tell you why. They are looking for more sincerity

in others’ dedication to God or love for one-another because they see a lack

of it in Christian circles often – maybe even their family – so they’re searching for truth

or sometimes vulnerable and they encounter someone in one of these cults, where

they have a ‘better experience’ with people.…

Biblical Ways to Deal with Stress

Dec15

Stress is a hot topic these days is’nt it, to almost everyone?

So I seek to address this important issue in part.

I am taking excerpts from a very good Christian website to

base my post that will benefit some of you.

 

While most major translations of the Bible don’t specifically use the word stress, Scripture does speak to things such as anxiety, worry and trouble and gives us clear answers on how we should deal with them. The dictionary defines stress as “physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.” Everyone suffers from stress at one time or another. In fact, research indicates that children who live in a stressful home environment are at greater risk to become highly stressed by life’s challenges. Stress can cause us to do things we would not normally do or cause us to shut down completely.

A Closer Walk With Jesus

Dec14

At this time, The Lord is calling many of us to walk closer to Him. To come closer – like we were when we first loved Him – and stay in that place of fellowship with Him.

 

So many of His children are estranged from Him for months or even years and it was never meant to be that way. It partly has to do with how we are introduced to Christ through the modern day church system, not just the world.

 

Yes church as we know it Today – with buildings and services – actually commenced with the Roman emperor Constantine in 330 AD, not with the Apostles as is commonly thought.

 

It is institutionalized Christianity, that lacks the CLOSENESS to JESUS we are meant to have and the Closeness to Each-other. Many are finding this in Home Churches after really seeking The Lord, because they knew there’s something more than they were experiencing.…

A Step Of Faith Can Change Your Situation

Dec14

Yes, if you take a step in the right direction, Jesus can change your situation and replace it with a Testimony. You must be decided, when you look to The Lord for Answered Prayers – no looking back. Don’t settle for the status quo in life – when He called you to an Abundant Life. Forget the televangelists money-schemes and their emphasis on being rich. They have the emphasis all wrong. There’s nothing wrong with money, if you’re not bound by the love of it, but Jesus calls us as His Children, to be Rich in Blessings…..and…..to carry His Blessings to those around us. That is Abundant Life (a fuller life). If you need healing or restoration, for instance, money and riches would not be abundant life for you, but healing and restoration would be, would’nt it?

I THINK THE TELEVANGELIST’S GET RICH SCHEMES SERVE AS A MAJOR DISTRACTION (for many) FROM SEEKING AND LIVING IN THE PLANS OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS FOR US.…

God of Hope – Inner Nature

Dec13

Hope of His Glory

Strengthening the Innerman

Some of us are a little faint hearted when we see how we fall short

of His Glory because He is a Holy God.

Also the stresses and afflictions of this present age can weigh us down too.

The following are several scriptures I have placed together from

different translations to bring out the richness because no English

translation can bring out the fullness of the original Greek.

You may call this a simple study and soak!

Seek The Lord’s presence as you read, for revelation.

And if you are not up to that for some reason – let these scriptures bring you

Into a soft touch of His Presence. He Loves You today.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but …

Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.…
