Cancer prevention and healing

I found this guy on-line a few weeks ago and I have to share his information to anyone who will listen. I STRONGLY believe God gave us all we need to heal and prevent most Western diseases by nutrition and our lifestyle. Please watch these videos this week-end!! You only have until midnight Sunday and then you will have to pay for it. My grandmother went to Mexico when I was a little girl to a clinic that helped people heal cancer. She had colon cancer and was told she would die soon with no treatment. She followed the plan at the clinic and lived another 9 years. NUTRITION CAN HEAL YOU!! Ultimately, I believe Jesus Christ is our healer but He gives us the knowledge to help ourselves. Here is the link: https://squareone.chrisbeatcancer.com/encore-weekend

Chris has a web-sight as well-chrisbeatcancer.com

My sweet America, where have you gone?

I am an American and I have always been proud of that fact.  I love America and what we were founded upon and what we have stood for.  I am so deeply saddened today about the state of our union.  You cannot turn the news on that you are not faced with another freedom taken, another tragedy, another situation that threatens to hold you in fear.  The Bible says in John 16:33 that we should fear not for He has overcome the world.  Dr. Charles Stanley gave a fantastic sermon on March 27, 2015- please take the time and watch it. Above all commit to pray for our country, its leadership, and our freedoms daily.

Where was Jesus soul after His death on the cross prior to His resurrection?

Have you ever thought about exactly where Jesus soul was after He died on the cross and prior to His resurrection.  I have and maybe I should have investigated prior to now in my life but I had not.  I love John Piper and his ministry DesiringGod.org.  It has a WEALTH of information to help you grow in your walk with Christ.  Please experience it for yourself, you will not be disappointed.  I want to give you a link today for that question I asked where was Jesus soul after He gave up His spirit.  I love this article and I think you will too.

A Letter to My Children

As I watch you grow every single day my heart is so very full of love for you. I love the scripture in Ephesians 3 that gives us a picture of Christ’s love for us- and I will borrow it now as I say to you–may you both be able to comprehend, to always feel and truly understand how long, how wide, how deep, and high my love for you is-from the very beginning through each pregnancy the love began and built moment by moment and day by day. I wish I could just infuse the wisdom I have gained in my 41 years so you don’t make the same mistakes I have made. I know though, that through those mistakes, I have become your mother. Mistakes and failures are a part of life we all face. But know that each time a trial or difficulty arises I will be there with encouragement, support, and love. Life is becoming increasingly difficult in this world but I know that because each of you has accepted Christ as your Savior you are safe in His care. He will guide you if you let Him. My greatest prayer for each of you is that you let Him. Only the path He has chosen for you will give you ultimate joy and peace that this world and its things will never offer you. If you need advice, guidance for decisions, or comfort His Word is there for you. It, I pray, will be the handbook of your lives-utilize it- I beg of you both. In it, I assure you, you will find the key to your happiness, wealth, and most importantly the love of the Father who created you. I know that the moment He thought you into existence He smiled knowing the joy you each would bring. I know He specially knit you individually together in my womb-some from daddy, some from mommy, some from Him- your body, soul, and spirit came together in His sight, timing, and masterful way, according to His plan for your life. As you grow even now I can see how He is molding you both into the vessels He wants you to be. How He anticipates you pouring Him out on those around you. As this life partakes of you He will continue to fill you up so you can freely give and extend His love to those who need it. I pray He places you both in situations where the fullness of Christ within you spills out on every person, in every situation He places you in. Light is a brilliant thing- it shines the brightest in the darkest of times, the darkest of places. It has a way of creeping into every nook and cranny of space it can reach. You have both been an encompassing, incandescent light in my life. The light you have brought me warms my soul and infuses me with such joy and love. Christ is the source of our light. He shines so brightly on us, through us, for us. The warmth of His embrace will always be much greater than the warmth of my embrace. But He has given you me-your physical mother here on earth to be His embrace for you to feel until you return to Him. May I always glorify Him in loving you the way He has shown me so graciously.

With all my love forever and always,
Your momma

Spiritual Warfare

Since the beginning of the new year I have heard multiple messages on spiritual warfare.  My pastor is preparing a study right now on this subject.  I do not think any of us like to think about the spiritual world and the power that Satan holds.  I think this is a subject that needs to be understood fully and years ago was given more attention.

Our forefathers knew very well to prepare each day accordingly.  I spoke in a recent post about our armor.  Let me express to you how very important it is that you take it up daily and sometimes more than once a day as Satan’s attacks unfold on you.  We do not war against flesh and blood we war against Satan and his army.  Do not mistake that we as Christians are warriors-soldiers of His kingdom and we need to be dressed for battle.  Dr. David Jeremiah has begun a new series on his web sight–let me say the first message was FANTASTIC and I urge to watch this series along with me and learn what exactly spiritual warfare is and how we protect ourselves from it.  Here is the link: http://www.davidjeremiah.org/site/spiritualwarfare/home.aspx?skip_intro=true

The Lord’s Prayer Matt. 6:9

This past Sunday night our pastor challenged us to rewrite the Lord’s Prayer in our own words.  I took the challenge and this is what I came up with-I pray it blesses you and let me challenge you to do the same:

My merciful and gracious Father in heaven-thank you for walking daily, moment by moment, with me through this life

Holy and blessed is Your name-allow me to comprehend the awesome power Your name alone holds each time I call upon it

Your kingdom come, Your will be done in my life today and everyday according to the purpose and plan You have called me to in heaven and on earth

Give me and my family today our daily portion-not too much lest we be full and deny You, not too little lest we be poor and needy

Forgive me my sins and help me be forgiving of those that sin against me knowing that we are all made in Your likeness and that we all fall short of Your glory

Lead me not into temptation, keep my path straight and help me choose the narrow way

Deliver me from Satan and his army, make me keenly aware of his schemes as I dress for battle in Your armor each day

For Yours is the kingdom, the power to overcome, and the glory forever

Amen

Zach Sobiech and the song Clouds

Let me encourage you all greatly to check out this video on Zach Sobiech and his life, if you have not already.  What an inspiration to live your life fully.  Zach wrote a song called Clouds that I just love.  You will see the story behind this song in the you tube video.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NjKgV65fpo

New Beginnings

As the new year begins I want to be faithful to be an encourager.  I read Charles Stanley devotionals each day along with his Daily Principles Bible.  I encourage you to check out his web-sight InTouch.org for all of his materials, but with not a penny spent you can access daily devotionals and all of his recent sermons.  There are a host of other writings on the sight that I am sure will bless you.  I know you will be encouraged and learn a great deal on your journey with Christ as I have.  Here is the link: http://intouch.org/

January is a good time of year to evaluate our lives and try to incorporate new habits.  It signifies the beginning of a new year and what could be a new way of thinking and living for each of us.  The Bible says that we all fall short of the glory of God and believe me I can relate.  I quite often feel this verse was included for me.  Boy, do I fall short.  But you know what-I have learned and am still practicing to moment by moment dust myself off and continue on.  We should not be under a spirit of condemnation but one of redemption.  He wants to redeem us not condemn us.  Stop allowing Satan to cause doubt in your mind about your loving Father.  He sits on His throne rejoicing over us being quiet in His love for us.  Satan loves to conquer us through our thoughts.  It honestly I believe is his favorite battleground with each of us.  Because thought precedes action every time.  Take those thoughts captive friends and do not let them get away with you.  Store the precious Word of God in your heart because it is truly your sword of the Spirit.  Did you put on your armor today?  The helmet of salvation to protect your mind-the breastplate of righteousness to protect your heart and emotions-the belt of truth that your Father is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and sovereign over every detail of your life including the ones you love-the sandals of peace, beloved be a peacemaker and practice leaving tracks of peace everywhere you go today -carry your shield of faith to thwart the flaming arrows that are coming the moment you arise-and finally your sword-the precious Word of God.  His Word is meant to guide, comfort and teach us, so preach it into your life every day by reciting it in those moments of weakness.

God has called each of us with a special purpose in mind, only we as individuals can fulfill that purpose. Do not miss His best because your obedience will be the only thing that will bring you an abiding peace and joy that this world and its things will never give you.  My friend the Christian walk is trial laden for us all-but it is through those trials you will see Jesus more intimately.  So let us welcome those trials and confuse Satan, rebuke Satan and enter into a journey like no other.  He will be the lamp unto our feet and a light for our path and our cups will surely runneth over, we shall not be in want.

Blessings, April

How to Handle Life’s Trials

I have to say that one of my all time favorites, if not my favorite teacher of the word, is Dr. Charles Stanley.  This week on his broadcast he spoke on How to View Life’s Trials.  It was so good I want to strongly encourage you to watch.  I am posting the link.  This is an area where I falter and I needed this encouragement right now in my own life.  I hope you find it as encouraging.
