God's plan while waiting for the spiritual prayer partner and mate.

^{Just recently I was speaking with a gentleman, and he very nicely gave me his cell phone number, he said, he liked talking with me, and would I be willing to talk with him over the phone some time? Before I took his number I asked, “are you married or in a relationship?” He seemed a little put off by my question. So I made it quite clear if he has a significant other, I would not disrespect that person by entertaining conversations with him in a personal manner, without their knowledge. So, he smiled and assured me that he was single and no one would be offended, if I called him. Then my next statement to him made him laugh and pull back. I said, “I might call you, and invite you to my congregation.” That really threw him into a guarded response. He laughed nervously, and said, “I don’t know about that.”  I took a mental and spiritual note of his hesitation and fear. Right Then, and there, I decided I would NOT call him.  I would continue to speak to him whenever our paths crossed.  I will, however, pray for him and his eternal soul.}

^{So with this experience, my mind wondered what my Father, Abba would say to me about dating. In the past I have rarely prayed for a mate. Mostly, I have prayed for my friends and my single daughter.  So, Abba and I started to talk about dating. I questioned who is the ideal mate, husband? What does He desire for His single daughters?}

^{Then He told me to look at what he has already said in the Word, about that. So I went to the law of first mention which is in Genesis 2 18} The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”¹⁹ Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. ²⁰ So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam^[f] no suitable helper was found. ²¹ So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs^[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. ²² Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib^[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.²³ The man said,” This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”²⁴ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.²⁵ Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.⁵Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing^[b]her by the washing with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. ²⁸ In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— ³⁰ for we are members of his body. ³¹ “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”^[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. ³³ However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

 What did I understand from those scriptures? Well unless the situation is to save a nation or family and God has instructed otherwise, like he did with Ruth and Esther. Then, the man is to be the initiator in all his relationships.   It is a sad day, to see what culture has done to God’s divine order. In today’s culture the women are seeking out the males and the males are allowing themselves to be hunted. This is NOT God’s way.  

Likewise, there is NO mention of any relationship in ANY of The Bible stories about God putting two males or two females together. That is not an option in God’s culture.

Paul also said It is not good to burn with lust. “it is better marry than to burn.” Godly men, have Godly desires. So, if we are following the laws of nature and the laws of the scriptures, God has a Godly plan for each union in Him. This has to be prayed over, protected, and guarded by both parties. Why? so that the devil, doesn’t come in between the love relationship and turn it to hate, resentment, lust and all sorts of evil.

So what should the single female be doing while waiting for the man of God to get up his courage? Well, she should be praying for the man of God, who is seeking his rib?  She should be praying that this man will love her as Christ loves the church.  Along with praying she should begin to make her body, soul and mind healthy and ready to bear his children, also to receive and submit to his love. 

If a woman is past child bearing and does not desire to have children, then she should be prepared to receive the mate who already has a family from previous marriage, and is also past child bearing age.

Those who are young and active should go about their daily lives fulfilling all that God has planned for them. It is He God, who has the right rib, for each male. It is God who does the blending. Let us allow Him, Abba, Daddy to miraculously join hearts and spirits together. Stop following the world’s show business relationships. it is NOT “One life to live, or Scandal.” Love God’s way is submitting to Holy Spirit, who is leading us, in the correct love triangle, where God is always involved. Just as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are in an unconditional love triangle with each other. God is LOVE! We are to copy, follow and pattern His love. Then, and only then, will We have the best everlasting love triangle.  Christ will NEVER divorce his Bride. That is NOT an option in God’s Kingdom.  That is why unless two agree in spirit, to worship the same God, in the same manner, they should NEVER walk together. 

This is the word of the Lord.  

How should believers view the world system?

The problem I see in this system, is that believers need to remember that Yeshua died for them and not for Satan. That we are not friends with the devil. God's grace love and mercy is given to mankind, for the purpose of their salvation, from the bondage of sin that Satan has brought into minds and hearts. We do not need to be sweet with devils, and friendly and tolerate his hanging around us our family and friends. 
Satan and his followers like to trick people into thinking they need to walk in fear of him. This month in America is famous for Satan's tricks and treats. I'm declaring war on him and his cohorts this year. I'm calling on believers to be bold and do like Yeshua did with Satan. Resist him with the truth of God's word. Send Satan  to HELL where He belongs. Decree and declare that Satan reaps what He has sown, 100 percent this time and season. All believers need to stop playing trick and treat with the devil and put on their Armour. Greater is Holy Spirit in you than Satan and his magic and tricks and treats. Be warned there is a backlash for those playing games with Satan. Be careful you don't reap what you are sowing. Pray for forgiveness, and make sure your seeds are growing and bearing the fruits of Holy Spirit and the Armor of God.
"10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." 
 Pray also, that whenever we speak, that our words may be given to us by Holy Spirit's promptings. That all believers will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which we are all  ambassador. Pray and declare fearlessly.
 All believers, can change the world if we just start praying and coming in agreement.
So I pray today to The Almighty God, King of the Universe that all His children will be forgiven for not taking His word seriously. I pray today with my fellow brothers and sisters to the King of the Universe to forgive us His children, for putting man's opinions, ideas and morals before God's ways. We ask for forgiveness for allowing the demonic influence to come into our homes, minds and families. We call on the Mighty Name of Yeshua and the blood of the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of this world, to cleanse us. We allow Holy Spirit to come in and purify our hearts, minds, and to teach us how to Love ourselves, so that we can love our neighbors. We pray this all for the Glory of Abba Father and Yeshua His only Son seated on the right hand of Our Father who is in Heaven...............................

What I learned this Summer in Jamaica WI.

This year in April 2013 I attended the funeral of my children's father and was able by the mercy of God to pray for reconciliation, healing and some deliverance to come to a family that was torn apart, and hurting from many wounds. This miracle brought about a desire to revisit Jamaica like a tourist and reconnect with many who I knew as an early Christian, and as a student in High school. .

 I turned 60 this past December (12/22/2012) It was predicted to be the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar. Well, I decided to follow the suggestion of a beloved friend who encouraged me to focus on things I would like to do, and ways to take better care of myself. God must have wanted to show me as my Father, that He would give me the desires of my heart. So, after the funeral in April, I had a desire to rediscover my roots, but I did not know how I would do this. So I prayed that if God wished for me to visit Jamaica as a tourist, He would have someone invite me to visit.

To my amazement within two weeks of that prayer, I received an E-mail inviting me to Jamaica with no strings attached, no cost to me, and an open welcome to come as a tourist, to be treated as a daughter of the King. My vacation to Jamaica was made possibly by a sister in the Lord, who in obedience to Holy Spirit, invited me to come and spend my summer vacation with her. I accepted her invitation right away, as I recognized this was an answer to my bucket list of prayer requests.

The first lesson I learned from my many hand of God interventions, and God moments in Jamaica: is that God is always giving. In order to help someone experience God’s unconditional love, the Christian has to be willing to give of their resources the 3T’s (time, talents, and treasures)

The fruits that God gives to every believer they are shed abroad into our hearts: love, joy, peace gentleness, goodness, faith, self control, contained power (meekness) and long suffering. It is only by Holy Spirit’s power that these fruits will be evident in each believer and by seeking to demonstrate God’s love as we are told in

1 Corinthians 13

The Message (MSG)

^3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

This lesson was what I learned in Jamaica this summer. I have to be sure to guard my heart against the pull of the world, and its fleshy way of living. It’s duplicity, saying one thing but doing something else. It’s pull towards self and selfishness. If I am to do things God's way it will be unselfish and with a willing heart. 

I am now very refreshed. I’m inspired and ready for the new school year. I realize that one way to not be stressed this year is to give of my self with out expecting anything in return. To plant seeds as I give of my time, talents and treasures. God will always give back to me exceedingly, abundantly, above what I could ever ask or imagine or even think. 

So saints, be encourage do not be weary in doing well. Your Father who searches your heart, He knows the intentions and will always give you back, much more than you could possibly give to Him.  

I want to thank my sister in Christ, who gave of her time. talent and treasures this summer. I will always see this summer in Jamaica, as one of the pivotal moments in the year of 2013 

Does God listen to Prayers that are NOT HIS Will?

Jesus said this to disciples when they asked Lord teach us how to pray

“This, then, is how you should pray:”‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,¹⁰ your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.¹² And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.¹³ And lead us not into temptation,^[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.^[b]…….."

If we expect God to hear and answer our prayer we need to know God does not contradict His word, or his will, or his commands. So if His will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven. We have to pray His will NOT Man’s will.  I’m glad that pastor stepped down since he would not be praying to The Almighty God. Neither could he expect God to answer his prayers.  The God of creation, the God who made this world, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords watches over his word to perform it. God is NOT interested in answering prayers made to promote man’s imagination, laws, ideas or philosophies, He is God and does not change for majority, minority, or any special interest group, Americans, leaders, demigods etc.   HE IS THE ONLT TRUE GOD!

This is the Word of the Lord

God’s Wrath against Sinful Humanity

¹⁸ The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, ¹⁹ since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.²⁰ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

²¹ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²² Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴ Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵ They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷ In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.²⁹ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹ they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. ³² Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

This is the word of the Lord. All Christians who call them selves’ followers of Christ should be defending Godliness and the truth of God’s word, not looking to deny Christ. It has been prophesied and so it is to be expected, that in the last days many will lose their faith, many will fall away, and many will deny Him. just like Peter did before his crucifixion.

Who is created in God's Image and Likeness????

One of the words that came several times over this past weekend and on New Year's Day, was that God Has created us in His image and likeness.

Genesis 1: 27....Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

 So I asked the Scientific question

 How is an Image made? 

Scientific answer

 "Anything and everything you see is light.

We are surrounded by white light. It is in a way wrong to actually say that a car is green and a bus is yellow.. The point here is that the light is a spectrum of different colors, that together makes white. When a green car looks green to us, that means that it actually absorbs the other colors of the white spectrum, hence only reflecting green. Exactly the same with any other object. 

All colors look like they do because of their ability to absorb the other colors of the spectrum of light.

A mirror on the other hand simply reflect 90-99% of the light that hits it, hence we see a reflection in it. The  better the  mirror, the better reflection." 

So, how I relate my scientific understanding with my spirit understanding?? 

Just as the moon reflects the sun and becomes it's image to us in the night (DARK) 

 So then we too are called to reflect God and become His image to the world. Holy Spirit is here to be in each and everyone who allows Holy Spirit to take control. So, it is possible to be the reflection and image of God to the world.

We are called to be the ( mirror )of God's Image  ( It is no coincidence that Jesus says He is the light of the world... "John 95 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”) We Need His light to be able to reflect His image to others. We are called to be light in the dark.   We are to reflect in our mirror of God  Gal 5: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

The Message Bible says it this way(MSG)

"The Life of Freedom Gal: 5 Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you...... What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love.......

22-23 But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.

23-24 Legalism is helpless in bringing this about; it only gets in the way. Among those who belong to Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and mindlessly responding to what everyone else calls necessities is killed off for good—crucified.

25-26 Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original." 

So may we walk in the light as He is in the light and have fellowship one with the other. Let us encourage each other to be the image and likeness of God. Let us sharpen each other this year. Let us be determined to fellowship as one family as Holy Spirit Jesus and the father are all one.

P.S

Just a reminder we are called to be community and have fellowship, relationship. We are not called to isolation in Christ. It is a Lie from Satan to be encouraged to stay home and do your own thing. There is no example of Jesus doing that.  The only time Jesus was alone was for prayer and fasting and to be tempted of the devil. Many times Jesus asked the disciples to pray with him and they were not able to keep up with His desire to pray, they would fall asleep and leave Him alone to pray. His desire was to do all in community. His desire is that we present His image and likeness to others in our communities. So, let's do that!

Why Does God allow evil?

Recently one of my dearest sisters asked the question why does God allow the devil to do such awful things to God's people and also to innocent children? 

The disciples asked similar questions of Jesus "As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. ² His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”³ “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴ As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 

The Bible from OT to NT shows God's desire for us to obey Him and to resist the devil. Every story event points to God's desire for us to be whole, full of His love, and experience His abundant life.

Unfortunately, we allow the devil to continue to lie to us, as he lied to Adam and eve in the garden.

 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”² The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, ³ but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”⁴ “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.⁵ “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

We need to remember that God keeps his word. One day Satan will be  cast into hell for eternity. Until then Satan will still do his job, of attacking. killing, stealing and destroying all of God's creation. We too need to do our job of bringing down the schemes of the devil. As.God's children, we are soldiers in God's army. Our fight is against evil and Satan's plans. If we allow the Holy Spirit to build us up in our spirit man, if we come together and work against the kingdom of darkness, If we obey God and have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move the mountains. It is only then that we can bring God's healing, and reverse the things that Satan and his demons have put on mankind.

  ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Being a Christian is not for the weak, double-minded, ungrateful, or prideful.A true Christian is faithful, humble, and obedient to His Lord and Savior. The battle is good against evil. Jesus has given us the victory, by His crucified,and resurrected  body. Jesus has already defeated Satan and all his demons. If we allow Holy Spirit to use our minds and our bodies, we too will experience the victory over all of Satan's evil schemes.   

It's the churches responsibility to crush Satan under it's feet

Guys we are in a war for God to be restored into this nation.

We see everyday that principles of the word of God are being

 eroded and stripped from the foundations and core of America.

We have to expose the enemy among us, so that we can truly unite in God.

God has given us the strategy of war, it is the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.

Jesus has told us to unite to be one, as He and the Father are one.

 We cannot depend on the world's methods of fighting, as we know we fight

Not against flesh and blood BUT against principalities and powers in high places. 

This is why we have to speak truth and life to each other.

We have to love each other, and pray together and declare what the 

word of God says about each other.

We cannot afford to let the enemy keep us divided as the body of Christ.

We need to recognize the strategy of the enemy among believers..

We need to allow the Holy Spirit to show us His plan and obey Holy Spirit's truth

If we become strong together if we agree together with the love 

that  is shed abroad in our hearts, from the God of love. Once we agree together to 

follow God's plans, commands, rules and principles. Then we have the victory. 

Then we can move forward,and not back to the old ways of lies and division.

The Bible says resist the Devil and He will flee. Let us identify the devil's plan 

when we see it among us. When we see Satan at work in our midst we need to expose 

his lies, and counterattack Satan, with the truth of God's word.

God wants us new and improved without spot and blemish. 

Then He will help us fight for that which is just, right and true,

in the new and improved America.
