Christians all over the world in every nation, it's time to be Christians... better Christians if you aren't fully living as Christ wants you to. I say this to myself as well. Seek His forgiveness and be at peace.

North Korea and Iran
North Korea to Expand Nuclear Arsenal
[Iran has been concentrating on uranium enrichment, which it says is for civilian purposes.
Although North Korea and Iran have cooperated on missile technology, US officials said there is no direct evidence of nuclear cooperation.
‘‘We’re worried about it, but we haven’t seen it,’’ said a former Obama administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence assessments. ‘‘They cooperate in many areas, especially missiles. Why it hasn’t yet extended to the nuclear program is frankly a mystery.’’]

[Saturday's report included a direct threat to the United States, while also asserting Pyongyang "will not limit (itself) to limited warfare but to all-out war and nuclear war."
"We will first target and dissolve mainland United States, Hawaii and Guam, and United States military based in South Korea. And the (South Korean presidential office) will be burned to the ground," the report said.]  http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/29/world/asia/north-korea-us-threats/KCNA

From North Korea News site:

Mun Kyong Dok, alternate member of the Political Bureau and secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea who is also chief secretary of the Pyongyang City Committee of the WPK, read out the statement of the KPA Supreme Command.

Then the floor was taken by KPA officer Kwon Yong Chol on behalf of the KPA, Kim Hyok Nam, worker of the Pyongyang 326 Electric Wire Factory, on behalf of the Worker-Peasant Red Guards, Kim Ju Il, student of Kumsong Secondary School No. 1, on behalf of the Young Red Guards and Rim Il Gwang, student of Kim Il Sung University, on behalf of discharged soldiers.

The speakers said that the service personnel and people of the DPRK are all out in a final decisive battle against provocateurs, aggressors, fully determined to take a thousand-fold revenge on the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean group of traitors, upon hearing the statement of the KPA Supreme Command and the news that Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un convened an urgent operation meeting on the KPA Strategic Rocket Force's performance of duty for firepower strike and examined and finally ratified its plan for firepower strike.

Happy Resurrection Day... He has risen!

Enjoy this film about the life, death on the cross, and resurrection of Jesus Christ... the true story, the facts of Jesus Christ based on the Holy Bible. This film is available in different languages. Search for your language and watch and download free this Jesus film in a different language!


Easter is a name I will no longer say or celebrate due to Easter pagan origins. Christians, I believe, should not say Happy Easter but Happy Risen Day or Happy Resurrection Day! Commonly many people call it Easter Sunday, the Christian celebration is actually Resurrection Sunday.

This Sunday and any day it is good to remember that Jesus died for our sins and was risen again.



(Click the square arrows on the video player to view this Jesus Movie in full screen.)

Jesus Christ's Love
Jesus conquered death in the graves to Godly people that died then and before then... Jesus conquered death then, now and future to those that believe in Him because it was He that conquered death for our sins. Jesus is the way, the only way, there is no other way for eternal salvation. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross and raising from the dead... and He ascended to heaven after spending days with friends, family and disciples. He will return again. There is no other messiah! Do not be deceived as the bible warns that many will come, and also an AntiChrist will deceive many declaring peace. True peace is in Jesus Christ's salvation and eternal life! Celebrate... the wine representing His blood, the unleavened bread representing His body - which is given to you. He knew He would die for us... "Do this in rememberence of me..." he said during the Passover meal. Resurrection Day and any communion day, any day remember Him. Drink a drink of grape juice, eat a piece of unleavened bread and remember Him. Thank Him. Remember His sacrifice. Jesus is God's son, the messiah, He declared that He and the Father are One. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit after He left. The Holy Spirit is here!


Reflect:
(1 Peter 4) Listen to 1 Peter 4


After Jesus had risen from the dead and before Jesus ascended to Heaven He said:

According to the book of Matthew:
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Amen.
(Matthew 28:19-20)

According to the book of Luke:
"Peace be unto you."
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
And he said unto them, "Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and feet, that it is I myself" handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
And when he had thus spoken, he shewed him his hands and feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, "Have ye here any meat?"
And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. And he said unto them,
"These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me."
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. And said unto them,
"Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Chrrist to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
And ye are witnesses of these things.
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
(Luke 24:36-53)



My explaination of The Trinity based on bible scripture.

The Father
The Great I AM because God is the creator who always was and is and is to come.
[In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
(1 John:1)

The Son
The Word became flesh.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
But as many as received him, to them gace he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:10-13)
God's Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, one God three parts of God.

The Holy Spirit
God's gift His Holy Spirit. Here are some scriptures.
Matthew 3:11

“I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Acts 2:4

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Matthew 28:19

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:13

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Matthew 12:32

Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.

What does born again mean?
Those that believe in Jesus' name. Reflect on these verses again.
As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13)
Put away old fleshly desires and follow God's will for your life.

Read, listen and search the Holy Word of God here.

God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen.

Obama's Israel Trip March 2013 Post # 1 - Christian View Daniel 9 ? Revelation 13-20 Soon?

(From: White House AFP image)



I have read conflicting things about Obama's trip to Israel. I have read about conflicting views about Obama from the people in Israel and neighboring Palestine.

Rockets fired on Southern Israel before Obama's arrival at West Bank:
http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/middle-east/israel-and-palestine/130321/israel-palestinian-militants-rocket-sderot-barack-obama-Netanyahu

Obama does not support building settlements in Israel and recommends direct negotians between Palestine and Israel to have separate states.

Israel negative views about Obama:

 Obama's peace talks... similar to the scripture Daniel 9? Interruption in the traditional animal lamb sacrifice for Passover also occurred - though I don't think this was done by Obama this is just interesting what happened at this particular timeframe:

Biblical reference - possibly prophetic happenings 

Daniel 9:23-27 KJV (Listen to Daniel 9)
²³ At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
²⁵ Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
²⁶ And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
²⁷ And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Obama receives mixed views in Israel and I believe the Prime Minister Netanyahu would like to see more help from the US about the pending Iran threat. US president Obama might be putting pressure on Netanyahu to hold off about Iran - though news claims not putting pressure I think I also read. Obama speaks to college kids, visiting the Iron Dome which reminds the Jewish country that the US is the funding and backing their defense. Palestine mostly not in favor of Obama. Obama addresses he is not in agreement with Israel settlements being built, he believes peace negotiations for separate states will be the way peace can be achieved. Obama against any chemical warfare or unjust actions in Syria.

 We will see what comes from this visit and it will be a wait.

Some interesting thoughts ...

I didn't realize Obama's limo he calls The Cadillac One, secret service agents refer to as "The Beast". Well "The Beast" broke down in Israel (Obama rode another vehicle).

More News:
Some of the text from Obama's speech in Israel March 21, 2013 at the Jerusalem Convention Center:

"Today, I want to tell you – particularly the young people – that so long as there is a United States of America, Ah-tem lo lah-vahd.
The question, then, is what kind of future Israel will look forward to. And that brings me to the subject of peace.

I know Israel has taken risks for peace. Brave leaders – Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Rabin –reached treaties with two of your neighbors. You made credible proposals to the Palestinians at Annapolis. You withdrew from Gaza and Lebanon, and then faced terror and rockets. Across the region, you have extended a hand of friendship, and too often have been confronted with the ugly reality of anti-Semitism. So I believe that the Israeli people do want peace, and you have every right to be skeptical that it can be achieved.

But today, Israel is at a crossroads. It can be tempting to put aside the frustrations and sacrifices that come with the pursuit of peace – particularly when an Iron Dome repels rockets, barriers keep out suicide bombers, and so many other pressing issues demand your attention. And I know that only Israelis can make the fundamental decisions about your country’s future.

I also know that not everyone in this hall will agree with what I have to say about peace. I recognize that there are those who are not simply skeptical about peace, but question its underlying premise, and that’s a part of democracy and the discourse between our two countries. But it is important to be open and honest with one another. Politically, given the strong bipartisan support for Israel in America, the easiest thing for me to do would be to put this issue aside, and express unconditional support for whatever Israel decides to do. But I want you to know that I speak to you as a friend who is deeply concerned and committed to your future, and I ask you to consider three points.

First, peace is necessary. Indeed, it is the only path to true security. You can be the generation that permanently secures the Zionist dream, or you can face a growing challenge to its future. Given the demographics west of the Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable Palestine. Given the frustration in the international community, Israel must reverse an undertow of isolation. And given the march of technology, the only way to truly protect the Israeli people is through the absence of war – because no wall is high enough, and no Iron Dome is strong enough, to stop every enemy from inflicting harm.

This truth is more pronounced given the changes sweeping the Arab World. I recognize that with the uncertainty in the region – people in the streets, changes in leadership, the rise of non-secular parties in politics –it is tempting to turn inward. But this is precisely the time to respond to the wave of revolution with a resolve for peace. As more governments respond to popular will, the days when Israel could seek peace with a handful of autocratic leaders are over. Peace must be made among peoples, not just governments. No one step can change overnight what lies in the hearts and minds of millions. But progress with the Palestinians is a powerful way to begin, while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and division.

Second, peace is just. There is no question that Israel has faced Palestinian factions who turned to terror, and leaders who missed historic opportunities. That is why security must be at the center of any agreement. And there is no question that the only path to peace is through negotiation. That is why, despite the criticism we’ve received, the United States will oppose unilateral efforts to bypass negotiations through the United Nations.

But the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and justice must also be recognized. Put yourself in their shoes – look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of her own, and lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements of her parents every single day. It is not just when settler violence against Palestinians goes unpunished.  It is not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands; to restrict a student’s ability to move around the West Bank; or to displace Palestinian families from their home. Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land.

Only you can determine what kind of democracy you will have. But remember that as you make these decisions, you will define not simply the future of your relationship with the Palestinians – you will define the future of Israel as well. As Ariel Sharon said, “It is impossible to have a Jewish, democratic state and at the same time to control all of Eretz Israel. If we insist on fulfilling the dream in its entirety, we are liable to lose it all.” Or, from a different perspective, think of what David Grossman said shortly after losing his son, as he described the necessity of peace – “a peace of no choice” he said, “must be approached with the same determination and creativity as one approaches a war of no choice.”

Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas and Prime Minister Fayyad. Over the last few years, they have built institutions and maintained security on the West Bank in ways that few would have imagined a decade ago. So many Palestinians – including young people – have rejected violence as a means of achieving their aspirations.

Which leads to my third point: peace is possible. I know it doesn’t seem that way. There will always be a reason to avoid risk, and there’s a cost for failure. There will always be extremists who provide an excuse to not act. And there is something exhausting about endless talks about talks; the daily controversies, and grinding status quo.

Negotiations will be necessary, but there is little secret about where they must lead – two states for two peoples. There will be differences about how to get there, and hard choices along the way. Arab States must adapt to a world that has changed. The days when they could condemn Israel to distract their people from a lack of opportunity are over. Now is the time for the Arab World to take steps toward normalized relations with Israel. Meanwhile, Palestinians must recognize that Israel will be a Jewish state, and that Israelis have the right to insist upon their security. Israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the cause of peace, and that an independent Palestine must be viable– that real borders will have to be drawn. I’ve suggested principles on territory and security that I believe can be the basis for talks. But for the moment, put aside the plans and process. I ask you, instead, to think about what can be done to build trust between people. ..."

Some other interesting thoughts I've had - I'm just mentioning and I mean no offense to the White House, Obama, or America.

White House = White Horse? (Revelation scripture reference.) Just a thought, I don't know.

I heard someone on youtube say abomination and I thought with a little laugh... I thought someone said obamanation yet it was actually abomination. Obama + nation, sounds like = abomination.

Healthcare Obamacare I have read will require a mark for healthcare? = 666 Warning.

I don't follow numerology or Christian numerology either but found this to be interesting:
About the Mark of the Beast: http://www.ridingthebeast.com/articles/epi-charagma-chi-xi-stigma
Besides the implant identification chip (RFID chip) There is also even newer technology now that is a small stick on tattoo like chip that is to be placed on the forehead or inner wrists. These can easily be the Mark of the Beast and easily hold within it the number of the beast 666.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listen to Revelation chapters 13-21 be safe in this end time. http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/kjv/Rev.13

Revelation 13 
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not think Obama is the AntiChrist... maybe someone significant in end times prophecy, false prophet? I'm only stating some thoughts and research that are possibly being fulfilled or close to being fulfilled prophecies are revealing end times. I am also an American and pray for God to bless America and Israel. God to bless all nations of the earth. I pray for God's blessing, guidance and help for all people on earth, and all that is bad, all that is evil to end. Peace, true peace to happen. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

Do not worry or fear for end times because no matter the tribulation if you believe in Jesus Christ and do not reject Jesus Christ - you will be saved. Do not - Do not, take any mark! OK!!? The bible declares damnation to any who take the mark, those whose names are not written in the Book of Life.

Rejoice in this good news... Revelation 21 and Daniel 12. = PEACE

Biblical Prespective: World News Mars: "Curiosity" Image from Mars August 6, 2012

Can Mars sustain life? What has God created out there in the universe?
Curiosity has photographed Mars and is on a mission to find out if life can be on Mars. Is it the fear of the earth's passing away that leads mankind to seek out alternative life sources? It is great to see what God has made. The close view of the planet Mars or the moon and stars is really miraculous even that God has given us the capability to learn to such a degree that we can send machines and even mankind into space.

NASA News article: Landed on Mars August 5, 2012

Biblical Scripture Reflection:

How marvelous the earth really is, it makes you realize the gift the earth is even in it's turmoil. Yet by prophecy we are told a new earth will be and heaven with it. How much more marvelous will that be!? The heaven now and earth now will pass away...
Listen:
http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mclean/kjv/Rev.21

Reflect:
Revelation 21 King James
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
⁶ And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Luke 19:10 New King James
"for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

We do not want to pass away like the earth and heaven, but have eternal life, that's why Jesus came to earth and soon a new earth and heaven is our gift if we believe in Jesus, love, seek forgiveness in Jesus Christ and also forgive others -as our Father will also forgive us-. Love God first, love by kindness to others even if someone does wrong (forgive by giving the situation about each person to God's for his help. No personal vengence). Remember, no one can go to the Father except through Jesus. For he is the light and the way. Jesus came to help those that they will believe and be saved from all sin, he took the sin on the cross so we can go to the Father through him and be made righteous again by the forgiveness of all our sin. Nothing is more important on this earth then this. Jesus, Love, Forgive, be Forgiven. Simple? Not always. Pray. God bless and while it is fun to see images of Mars and stars, remember the love God has even in the little birds in the sky and animals, sea and clouds, the warmth of the sun and all the gifts and look forward through Jesus a new earth with heaven and a new body that sickness cannot touch and all sadness gone. Amazing Grace. :)

FORGIVEN and FORGIVING Christian Bible Study bible scriptures

 Sunday morning Christian bible study on forgiveness.

After Jesus rose from the dead and appeared before the disciples and other followers of Jesus he showed the wounds in his hands and feet, and he ate.

 

I am with you always 

Then he said, "When I was with you before, don't you remember my telling you that everything written about me by Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must all come true?" Then he opened their minds to understand at last these many Scriptures! And he said, "Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah must suffer and die and rise again from the dead on the third day; and that this message of salvation should be taken form Jerusalem to all the nations: 

There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.

You have seen these prophecies come true. And now I will send the Holy Spirit upon you, just as my Father promised. Don't begin telling others yet--stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven."

 Then Jesus led them out along the road to Bethany, and lifting his hands to heaven, he blessed theme, and then began rising into the sky, and went on to heaven. 

Luke 24:44-49

And the disciples went everywhere preaching, and the Lord was with them and confirmed what they said by the miracles that followed their messages. 

Mark 16:20

Jesus was risen, and he is with us always, the Holy Spirit was sent from heaven to those that believe in Him just as He said.

FORGIVEN and FORGIVING 

Psalm 32:1-6
What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! What joys when sins are covered over! What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record.
There was a time when I wouldn't admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration. All day and all night your hand was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, "I will confess them to the Lord." And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Now I say that each believer should confess his sins to God when he is aware of them, while there is time to be forgiven. Judgment will not touch him if he does.

Sin could be great or minor to our standards, yet it is sin just the same. Not seeking God's solution of seeking His forgiveness and accepting Jesus death on the cross for our sins, only harms us. We need to address the sins, seek his forgiveness, and also forgive others (give it to God to handle the situations with others in our lives, let go of anger... that is what forgiveness is about... it does not mean you condone a wrong thing or situation). 

Sin or unforgiveness towards self and others affects us in many ways. Emotional pain, depression, guilt, shame, fear, and many times also illness can occur. If you have confessed your sins, are their any hidden within you that may need to be addressed? Pray and ask God, He will shed light on it. Then confess and seek His forgiveness. It is also important to forgive others for whatever it may be. You are not accepting wrong by forgiving only choosing love to cover hate or anger. Love your neighbor; even enemies as Jesus taught (this does not mean you have to be friends with this forgiven person or people you feel you don't want to) just choose to be kind, forgive, let the Lord know you forgive in Christ Jesus ______ for _____ and give the situation or hurt to God to handle. Even strangers we need to forgive at times, like a rude driver that "cut you off" on the road or even yelled at you etc. Forgive. Love by not behaving the same back and know God knows the situation. Just do what is right.

Then ask God to heal your pain, free you from fears, seek his forgiveness for what you have done, and receive it! Let him give you a new life. Allow God to take your shame for what you have done. Allow God to heal you and take away any self afflicted shame for what has been done to you -you need not be ashamed-!

Ask God to take away any illness from you in Jesus name and for any emotional pain take from you too. He can renew your mind and heal you. 

Not always are we healed from physical illnesses, but seek him for this deliverance too.

Suggested prayer for forgiveness:

[First accept Jesus that he died for your sins and you believe Him to be your Lord and savior.]

• If there be any sin in my life that I do not know, please reveal it to me. Jesus name amen.

(Ask His forgiveness when you know any sin.)

• Father in heaven, I ask your forgiveness for__________. Please forgive me in Jesus name. Please heal and take from me any hurt and pain this has caused  me or others and I give this situation to you Lord. Thank you. In Jesus name, Amen.

Suggested pray for forgiving:

• Father in heaven, I forgive__________ for__________. Please heal and take from me any hurt and pain this has caused  me and I give this situation to you Lord. Thank you. In Jesus name, amen.

Ask and put your trust in God that He has and will take sin from you, ask and He will heal you from the pain it has caused also.

Psalm 34:4-9
For I cried to him and he answered me! He freed me from all my fears. Others too were radiant at what he did for them. Theirs was no downcast look of rejection! This poor man cried to the Lord--and the Lord heard him and saved him out of his troubles. For the Angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence him.
Oh, put God to the test and see how kind he is! See for yourself the way his mercies shower down on all who trust in him. If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs.

Deliverance for Christians -Sunday Morning Bible Study... in the afternoon

6-10-12

A little more serious bible study here, and quite possibly controversial to many. Still, a good subject worth studying!

Delivered: To bring or transport to the proper place or recipient; distribute. To surrender (someone or something) to another; hand over.
To be delivered: To set free, as from misery, peril, or evil

Can a Christian who is forgiven and born again need deliverance? The answer is Yes, if this Christian is also experiencing troublesome thoughts, nightmares, illness that can be from sin or past sin, if there is any unforgiveness or sin, if there is past or generational wrong doing or occult practice, or even hurts that alter our views -such as feeling as a victim. There are many reasons why a Christian can experience troublesome spiritual warfare from - YES demons. I know people don't like to talk about them, but I am okay about it.

1 or many demons can afflict, harass, or yes even enter a Christian. How can it enter a Christian though who is forgiven?

If like mentioned above there is any sin or past unforgiven sin or persons, or if there is any occult practice present or past or generational sins... these spiritual realm doors ALLOW a demon or more demons to enter or oppress a person -a non believer or Christian believer as well.

So stead fast, stand firm. Forgive and care. And have a blessed week and a blessed life too...

Scripture Reference: Sword of the Spirit

Collosians 3:8,12-13
⁸ But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
 ¹² Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Colossians 3:13 KJV

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.


^{Collosians 1:21 KJV
 21} And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
²² In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
Armor of God. Spiritual Warfare.
Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ... I recommend to Listen to audio of Ephesians 6


Respectively derived from an OC Deliverance Ministry site:
"The Greek word “Daimonizomai” translated “demon-possessed” in scripture is best described, as “to have a demon, to be demonized or be under the control of a demon.” In my experience, demon possession or being under control of a demon can be on a sliding scale of say, 1 to 10. Number one, being the least control, to number 10 being absolute control. I believe a more accurate definition of demon possession is a person who is to various degrees, occupied and controlled by evil spirits.
The bible has different examples of demon possession; the demoniac who had a legion of demons (a legion of Roman soldiers at full strength was around 10,000 soldiers) was probably a 10 on the scale of possession as opposed to a demon-possessed man who was mute or deaf (obviously a lesser number on the scale). It is clear in scriptures, mankind has the capacity to be indwelled by another spirit.
1. We receive the Holy Spirit in us when we are born again (1 John 4:13, John 3:1-8).
2. We can be filled with the Spirit to the point of appearing drunk (Acts 2:1-3, 15).
3. An evil spirit may enter into a person, such as Satan entered Judas (Luke 22:2-4, John 13:27). 
4. An evil spirit entered Saul (1 Sam. 16:14 &23)."

A Children's Book is also Bible Study? Philippians 4

I'm sorry I missed Sunday's blog updates! I was busy making my mom a "Thanksgiving" Meal for her birthday party yesterday. My favorite meal! It was the best turkey I ever made.

(For you chefs out there...My trick= a whole stick of butter melted and poured over the whole thing and inside the cavity too, and a good amount of fresh ground salt, and sprinkle with pepper. Also, I didn't over cook it this time 325 F and upped it a little to a golden color at 350 F then back to 325 F about 3 hours and let it sit about 20 minutes. Came out perfect.)

She didn't expect all that and so that was fun.

So, here is my "Sunday Morning" Bible Study... Monday:

I wanted to read a story to you. This is a good story to read your kids.

(My suggestion though, if you have a single parent household etc. I would not read as it is read for your child how the character in the book is thankful for specific family members... replace the word with mom, or dad, aunt etc. if needed. This will help your child connect to the story better. Or if you choose not to, explain after the story how God intended family to be, but what makes your family unique and special too.)

This was one of my favorite stories I read as a kid. Published in 1984. It cheered me up and taught me to see the bright side, I read it recently and am thankful for it. I recommend it as an alysa good stuff favorite book!
This book is respectively written here and all rights remain with the author, I have no rights to this book. I have modified the ending to shorten the story, but did not add to it. See links below if you would like to purchase this cute little paperback book- it's a sweet story with adorable illustrations.

Bartleby's One Bad Day After Another

by Jill Wolf

"Bartleby the Church Mouse know that Monday was going to be a bad day.
He knew because a very noisy bird sang at his window and woke him up too early.
Bartleby wanted to throw his shoe at that bird. But he didn't.
Bartleby wanted to go back to sleep. But he couldn't.
So Bartleby yawned and got out of bed.

On Tuesday the noisy bird did not sing. But Bartleby knew it was going to be a bad day.
He knew because his breakfast wasn't ready.
When Dad was making pancakes, he flipped Bartleby's pancake high into the air.
Dad flipped that pancake so high, it hit the kitchen ceiling. And it stuck.
So Bartleby had to wait for a new batch of pancakes. And he was almost late for school.

Bartleby had his favorite cereal for breakfast on Wednesday. But Bartleby fell off. He fell off even though he had training wheels.
Bartleby hurt his hand. And he tore his jeans on the knee that didn't have a patch yet. So he knew Mom would be mad.
And his arithmetic book got so dirty, the teacher was mad, too.

On Thursday Bartleby did not ride his bike. But it turned out to be a bad day.
After school Bartleby bought a grape fruitsicle. But he bumped into his friend Sara and dropped his fruitsicle on the sidewalk.
It broke into pieces.
So he had to share Sara's fruitsicle. And strawberry was his worst favorite flavor.

At last it was Friday. But it was still a bad day for Bartleby. His big sister had a party for all her friends and they wouldn't let Bartleby play with them. They wouldn't even let him in the room.
Then Mom made him go to bed early. But Bartleby couldn't sleep because his sister and her friends were having a pillow fight.
He could hear them giggling and talking. They were having fun.
But Bartleby wasn't.

(modified ending...)

Saturday,

His mother smiled. "Bad things will happen sometimes, Bartleby. Yet God has blessed you with so many good things."
Bartleby thought about what his mother had said while he was playing outside.
He had so many friends.
They always had fun together.
And it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the grass was green and it tickled Bartleby's feet.
Bartleby felt like running and jumping.
He was glad that God had given him so much to enjoy.

On Sunday Bartleby sat alone on the hill. He thought about his bad days. But he also thought about all the good things that God had given him.
Bartleby remembered that when he fell off his bike, he wasn't hurt badly. When he broke his fruitsicle, Sara shared with him. When his pancake stuck on the ceiling, it was really funny. And that noisy bird did have a pretty song.
"God, it's a beautiful day," said Bartleby. "And it's going to be a good week, too!"

...the end"

Bible scripture reference:

Philippians 4:8-9 KJV


8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

It's a real effort to remember that in all difficult times of our lives (and we all have them) also remember to see God's glory- even in the tiniest way like a sprouting seed, a blooming flower, a caterpillar, clouds moving in the sky, a blue sky, a chocolate chip cookie or a friend that brought you a chocolate chip cookie, or... better yet be the friend to give cookies! Know that God knows more then we, trust him in that, and smile for the good things. 

Enjoy your week. Please leave comments!

Sunday Morning Relationship with God - Bible Study May 20, 2012

Jesus is always with you: yesterdays, today and tomorrow, everyday and everywhere.

As a Christian believer I try to remember this. I think, "Yeah, Jesus is with me, I know." I tell my kids, "Don't be scared, Jesus is with you, Okay?" Yet, even though I know this I now realize I don't really contemplate it. He is truly really here, even as I type this, right now, right there with you as you read this, right now, truly. How aware am I that he is with me always? Even in the hurts of my yesterdays and for your yesterdays too. He was there too to help, to cry with you, to hold you and help you through with His love, His care, and His heavenly hosts were there too. So yesterday, today and tomorrow He is also there.

Pray without ceasing. That sounded impossible until I realized it means to keep him with me all the time, in everything I do and think. Still, that sounds difficult too. Though actually it's not. I remind my children to pray all the time; think of Jesus all the time. "Whether you are good, bad, mad, sad, or glad..." I tell my children to still pray to God in everything at all times. When I am mad I tell God. When I feel wrong, I don't try to cover it up and ignore God, I tell God. When I am hurting, he knows and I am aware he knows, I ask for God's help. When I have a good day I thank Him, even at times (not always though I probably should) I thank Him for days that aren't so good and hope a good one comes tomorrow, because he knows more than I do. When something good happens I thank Him for even the little things, like help from friends or family, I thank Him because I feel that He has interceded through others for these good things and help. It is good to be aware of His presence in your life and have a relationship with God, a real one.

I think too much, I talk too much. Praying without ceasing doesn't mean thinking constantly, praying like gimmie, or this and that to him only... but sharing the day and night with God, praying for needs and wants and help for yourself and others, AND listening to His calm voice within your heart. Quieting yourself to know Him, to know His comfort, His peace, His joy. That He truly has things in your life in control and giving Him that control. Doing my best in what I can, and praying for His direction and wisdom. This sounds good but, it is a conscience effort I have to choose to make. I am by no means perfect at this. All relationships take effort, work, and care... same as it is with the lord. I am happy when my children tell me what they did wrong, even if there is consequence and they are disciplined at times (no video games today) and many times they understand. I am glad to be needed when they cry to me, needing my direction as I try to help them be strong and then comfort them.

God cares like any loving parent would and more. He wants this closeness, and He rejoices that even when we are good, bad, mad, sad, or glad... we will still go to Him, really remember He is here with you and keep Him close to you too.

Scriptures for reference:
Matthew 28:20 KJV
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Deuteronomy 6: 4-5 KJV
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: 
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
2 Timothy 4:18 KJV
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:13 NKJV
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
