My Testimony

At the age of Four the Lord saved me by His grace;at the closing of vacation bible school one afternoon.At the age of Eleven I finally was baptized,and at the age of Thirteen the Lord used circumstances in my life to bring His word to me personally.I’m thankful that God brought his word to me when He did for He sheltered me from a lot of woe.Since I can remember the Lord has given me a heart for missions I’m eagerly seeking for what He might have me to do!I can see the Lord’s hand day by day in my life through daily events.I’m thankful it is nothing I have to do,because He has already done it all for me by his underserved marvelous grace.

Kingdom of the unknown

Only fools enter the kingdom of the unknown, these pilgrims enter in the name of One {God} who knows their future,better than they remember the past! pilgrim’s progress {Christiana’s journey}

Is it short?

… Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. Numbers 11:23

Red light!

 Stopped at a red light what do you do? Sometimes you start a conversation with yourself or whoever else is with you,sometimes you listen to music to pass the time of waiting and sometimes you turn your car off {usually because you are running out of gasoline.}So what do you do when your stopped at a more spiritual and physical red light? You can choose to wait patiently or impatiently {more of what I seem to do.sigh} waiting on the Lord isn’t easy it takes a lot of faith,but there are down through the past wonderful examples of stories of those who did wait for God.{It can be done!} I know the Lord did promise in Isaiah 49:23…They Shall not be ashamed that wait for Me.{God} but it is hard! So you’re sitting there waiting and you start a conversation with your Everlasting Heavenly Father,and then you listen once again to the sound of His sweet promises and sing of them, and when you start getting weary in waiting Stop and let Him whisper to your Heart,Soul and Mind,Be still and know that I am God Psalm 46:10. May God richly bless your day in Christ.

Are you ready?

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.The Bible commands us to be ready always to give an answer to every man.So one simple question are you ready? And the only way when can be ready is to, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15.May God richly bless your day in Christ.

What do you do?

In chapter 36 of Isaiah we read of a threat to king Hezekiah and what he does about it,but then in chapter 37 it comes again and we see what Hezekiah does ( and what this post is about.) and when he received the letter he read it and went up unto the house of the Lord (and spread it before The Lord. And prayed unto the Lord.) So many times when I receive something I don’t like I seem to always desire to go to others then the Lord,When the Lord should be first!I’m not at all trying to say that seeking christian counseling from others is wrong,but when it is put before the Lord that is wrong!God knows all the solutions to every matter,even when they seem hopeless,we just have to be listening to Him.The Bible says in Psalm 37:7 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him… I once heard a preacher preach; why settle for going to a fellow servant,when you can go straight to the Master? May God richly bless your day in Christ.

Where is your strength?

… In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.Isaiah 30:15 The Lord was promising to the children of Israel that in quietness and confidence {faith} their strength would be, but they would not. So we see in the next verse that they chose to flee upon horses and to be swift instead of simply trusting in the promise God had given to them.And then on down in verse 18 as a result of their disobedience that the Lord waited to be gracious to them, so that He would be exalted, and have mercy upon. I know so many times I have a hard time just simply trusting what God has promised to me. God is a loving God, but He is also a righteous judge on the disobedient.May God richly bless your day in Christ.
