18 days till wedding day!💍

Each diciple chosen by Jesus did not understand why they were chosen, they were broken, uneducated, unskilled, weak and unable to be perfect in the eyes of which they thought perfection was. But they were so gracious to Jesus and so overjoyed that they were still chosen despite all that they knew that they were. They didn't understand it, but they were so thankful, so deeply thankful that they dropped everything and followed the one man that saw them as a perfect human being, despite everything they knew themselves for and everything they did in their past.

God loves us in this way that we are chosen, each of us. We are broken, we hate, we steal, we destroy, we sin in all kinds of ways and still God pursues a relationship with us in all moments, he never leaves us, never gives up on us and never deceives us, he is always waiting for us to come to him and say Lord, Lord I love you, thank you for not giving up on me.

If the Lord our God give up on us, there would be no such things as murderers becoming renewed in Christ, having their heart restored and turn away from their murderous ways, people wouldn't be given a second chance, and sin would be a sentence of death... the Lord gave us Jesus, to overcome the debt of sin we have caused ourselves and gives us a second chance. He seeks us for fellowship with him to feel his love to feel his grace to feel his forgiveness, despite all we do. He seeks us even when we don't know Him, and Hate him for what he's done, and can't see why he has done it, like taking a loved one. We can wail and anguish in what God has done that leads us to not believe in him and still he will love us, with a tender heart hurting for us and waiting for us to give us peace in what has happened. It is up to us to choose to let God in and to see the way that he is pursuing us in his love, to see what he is doing, or to deny him and choose to take everything on for ourselves as wretched as we are in the evils that we pursue, a life without God is a treacherous life. An unfathomably evil life. A life that doesn't make any sense... A life without God is a life so dark that su***de begins to make sense.

But God still loves us, and does everything he can to help us see his gracious face.. even though from the beginning of time, Adam and eve.... 👇
"as it is written, '“There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.”'
Romans 3:10‭-‬12 NASB1995

Yet he still loves us. Loves us in the way that our sin does not amount to who we are are what we've done, but he loves us as much as he loved us the first moment he created us. Like a mother who sees her child for the first time after creating and carrying her for 9 months, a first mother's true love is how the father feels about us in every moment of our lives. There's nothing we can do to make him change his mind, and this is why we have the Bible to show us that this is what God wants us to know. Every story in the Bible shows how God was pursuing, chasing and giving chance after chance, no matter what a human being did, God never gave up. Even when humankind got so nasty so twisted he sent Jesus down so that it could restore the evil that was beginning to destroy the world by man's hand, again salvation was given to us.

Child like faith

Don't worry or become anxious for what it is God wants to use in you, he wants your time and He will guide you through the rest.

We love God because God loves us first..

-even when we didn't know Him.
-even when we hated Him.
-even when we sinned against Him.
-even when we didn't agree with Him.
-even when we couldnt understand Him.
-even when we yelled at Him.
-even when we blame Him.

He still loves us first, He doesn't wait for us to love Him first to then love us unconditionally... that would be conditional love. He loves us first, forever, and always. I didn't know God until he healed me, and I wasn't even following him, yet he still healed me.

The God I know would not be the God I know If his love was conditional. If I had to follow Him first to be healed.

That's why I praise God. That's why I let Jesus lead my life now.

Words cannot even begin to describe how at peace I am.. because the peace I own is unfathomable, out of this world, not of this world, above this world, and it was always mine. I just had to find it, I just had to find him.

My peace is unshaken and unmoved because Christ is forever within me.

What is the explanation of the holy spirit in your heart and mind for this verse?

"...so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."
Revelation 13:17‭-‬18 ESV

What a great quote:

A great friend of mine, Dee McFall Dee McFall said this in 2021..


Go right on ahead and bring up my past and try and remind me of it... I don't live there anymore... I'll bring up my Future... because that's where I'm headed :)

Oh God the glory is all yours - we can't wait to see what you do with us.

The law of attraction - who's REALLY behind it?

The truth is.... I didn't radically change my life because I'm scared of going to hell. In fact I tried to send myself TO HELL when I was just barely 17.

Follow me and you'll discover my story of how I found my faith.

The truth is.... I didn't radically change my life because I'm scared of going to hell. In fact I tried to send myself TO HELL when I was 17.

I knew of God ever since I was a lil baby. I was religious, followed the Lord's laws, tried to be a faithful follower by not sinning. Hoping I'd make it into heaven but doubting every day if I really would. Eventually giving up trying and swearing off heaven for GOOD. I was okay with going to hell rather than facing the impossible task of "trying" to get into heaven.

I was deathly scared of hell, and that drove me to try to be a good, faithful Christian for YEARS. Untill I didn't care anymore. It didn't scare me to death anymore.

I was okay with my fate being hell since the pain I was in by trying to be a "faithful Christian" was louder than my fear of hell, it wasn't worth it anymore... and I warmed up to the idea and started saying "I'm probably going to hell and I'm okay with that!"

But ... that's not how getting into heaven works, is it? It never was. It was a trick, one I believed in my whole life. Always in the dark on if I was saved or not.. trying to avoid Sin... was it possible for me to be sinless so I could be saved from hell? I was told it was, but it seemed impossible, so I gave up trying when I was 17. I even tried to take my own life, I was so angry at God, I knew He didn't care about me. *I thought*

Truth is.. I never knew God until just a month ago, August 4th, 2023 Is when I was released into his freedom. I truly never knew what a "faithful Christian" was, untill I DID. I was revealed the truth, I was thrown into His hands, undeniably feeling him, His truth.

I thought I hated Him, because He never protected me, blessed me, helped me, etc. I thought He hated me because of all the things I did since I "gave up on trying" and dove into what I enjoyed that he considered sin. Smoking, va**ng, drinking, idolatry, fornication, worshipping the devil's gifts....

Turns out, I just didn't know Him. I just knew of Him. And for that I was always on a wide road to Hell and didn't even know it. I was scared of Him.

I thought if you followed certain steps and laws in the bible to a "T" , He would take you home and let Jesus save you and that's what it meant to be a religious Christian. Turns out, that's not the whole truth. It's pretty far from it actually..

I thought God hated me for turning away from Him, like I was a disobedient tyrant that He threw away as soon as I made a wrong move. Turns out, he never changes his mind. He never threw me away, He never hated me. He never looked down upon me with such a wrath that he WANTED to send me to hell.

Turns out, I was tricked, played by fools my entire life. Yet God was never shying from me, always protecting me, blessing me... but I couldn't see it. I couldnt turn to him as long as I didn't know him, but only knew of him.

Now I know the truth, and I can never be torn from it. Because I know God, and I didn't before. He never wanted to send me to hell, but I was sending myself there, I was taught by Pharisees, but I was never taught by God.

Until now. I was never close to heaven until August 4th.

This is my testimony..

Are you religious... yes or no?

Do you believe you *know* where you're going? Or hope you know where you're going?

Explain your answer, why or why not?

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

You don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it.

Don't steal, hate, envy, or grow jealous for what someone has that you don't, just ask God and it will be given..
