Take this crumb

So easy to judge the mistakes of others

But difficult to recognize our own. 🤔

James 1:22-26

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain

Just a thought... And again I might lose some "friends" but...

TRUTH IS TRUTH

🙏God help us LOVE like YOU🙏

The Word says: LOVE YOUR ENEMY...

How are we supposed to love our enemy if we can't love one another?

~ As Christians we know we have passed from death unto life because we LOVE THE BRETHREN... ~

Have we ?? ...

Passed from death unto life?? ...

Do we LOVE ??
...
God help us...

"Christian" people go around disliking ... hating... and even deleting each other from their social media... (like they are the only one going to heaven) ...

READJUSTING & RETHINKING

I've been doing a lot of meditating on God's Word, His will, and His ways.

And all I can say is...

Lord I messed up...
Please forgive me and help me readjust.

******************************************
For a while now I've noticed something in me I don't like...

Through these "Euroclydon" storms that I've been in... I've become very bitter with the whole situation.... But I've always heard...

"what doesn't make you bitter
makes you better"

So I've decided... I don't like me as a bitter person... And I know God don't like me that way. Yes I know He loves me.... but He's probably been shaking His head a lot at me.
(O Lord Please Forgive me)

So here it is❗

WAVE ...

AFTER...

WAVE...

AFTER...

WAVE...

And I mean big heavy gigantic waves of confusion and hurt... Feeling let down... Feeling attacked... Feeling betrayed... Feeling singled out... Feeling blind-sighted.. feeling ... feeling... feeling...

Yes FEELINGS ...
EMOTIONS...
SELF PITY...
WOE IS ME

OH

S. T. O. P❗

No I can't stop ...

{.... Confession is good for the soul * right*
(Confess your faults one to another) I NEED A HEALING ... SO... I'm confessing !! Oh yes I sure am ... I never said I was perfect... No way!!! I've got ugly human ways ... And they run amuck sometimes. }

But... Here it is...

Wave after wave after wave...

Waves so heavy and so so many... I thought I was going to go under. (I lost my footing)
And each thrust was so powerful ... And each one knocked me for a loop!!!

So there I am spiritually FLAT OF MY BACK❗

And that's when I finally realized... that storm... that came to destroy...IT DIDN'T DESTROY.... It has really just (CLEARED a path) CLEARED my vision. (Praise God)

In the hands of the enemy this storm was meant to destroy me... But the things that are meant for my harm... God will turn for my good.... to make me stronger... And believe me when I say... In Jesus Name I'm coming out in VICTORY!!!

I will NOT stay in that storm!!!

Because now....

I'm *Readjusting* my footing...
Because I'm reminded ... 🎶On Christ the solid ROCK I stand and all other ground is sinking sand🎶

(I'm *Readjusting* for a stronger, more stable, and more determined stance against future attacks) ...

And I'm *Rethinking* ... Coming up with a spiritual battle plan of how to become BETTER not bitter... Taking a long look... assessing the whole situation... And putting the blame where it belongs (on the enemy) ... Not my brother nor my sister... For we wrestle not against flesh and blood...

I'm *Rethinking*... By seeking for a new mind ... (This fleshly mind will get you in a world of trouble.. The carnal (or fleshly) mind is enmity with God) The Word says : Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

(Yes this storm was used as a weapon)

But Victory is mine as I stand my ground in the knowledge of knowing ...

That NO weapon formed against me shall prosper me.

As I become stronger because : I can do all things through Christ which strengteth me.

Having confident in God believing : When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of The Lord will lift a standard up against Him. And knowing that... THAT STANDARD is GOD'S WORD in me.

STORMS ... SOMETIMES...
CLEAR OUR VISION❗

"the same storm that will break you will also make you... And you can either lose your focus or learn from it. the choice is yours."
--- r.m. drake

"when you're going though something, try to figure out what it's teaching you and grow from it."
--- my daddy

So I'm SOUL searching... And I've been praying...

Lord show me what it is this is teaching me
And help me grow in You.

{This thought came to me awhile back...}

After we come to Jesus
And He becomes our personal Saviour
We are responsible for our behavior
*Let's think about that for a moment*...
(I mean really let it soak in.)

Let us be careful that our behavior/attitude
Doesn't stop our spiritual growth.

Now...
Some people might say ... I can't believe you just said all that about yourself... Well I'm being real... When I was little I told on myself to my parents *knowing I would get in trouble* ... So why would I change now. Truth is truth. And God already knows it... And like I said I'm not perfect (that's God) not me.

Sometimes what's in us ...

might surprise us...

If we're willing

to take a good

looooooong looooook

God Bless

By posting some of my studies, I hope to encourage other in God and in His Word.

Look Beyond The Giants

Reading about The children of Israel...
The Exdous from Egypt...
The Good report...
The bad report...
And the giants.

The Faith,
the fear,
the doubt,
the murmuring
and complaining!

So many times in our lives we forget where God has brought us from. What chains He has broken. What yokes He has destroyed stronghold He has defeated, and mountains He has moved.
We forget the many many times He's kept us from satans snares. And out of the way of danger.

After all He has brought us through, let us not murmur or complain,
but let us look beyond the giants that are in our lives to the Land of Promise in Christ.

That's what Caleb and Joshua did in this passage, (although 10 came back and said we CAN'T take land because there are Giants and we are too small) they said YES WE CAN!!

They saw the land that God had promised them and was willing to fight for it !! willing to look beyond any giant that stood in their way. David did the same thing. He saw Goliath coming toward him and he ran to meet the challenge. Knowing his God was Mightier than that giant.

And although we may not come up against fleshy giants in this day and time. We still face our giants. We face mountains of sickness, financial difficulties, some face marital problems, we go through things with our children. We also face mental giants; such as worry, anxiety, depression, and so much more there are many many things we face in life, but there's only one thing we need to remember ...

No matter the size of the giant our GOD IS GREATER! Greater is He that lives in me than he that is in the world.

So let us not count ourselves too small or inadequate *but yet not boastful). Let's not believe the report of doubt or be overwhelmed with fear. But believe through Christ we will overcome every obstacle that stands in our way. We can possess all the promises of God in Christ Jesus. For all the promises of God in Him are yea and in Him Amen unto the Glory of God by us.

Through FAITH we can LOOK BEYOND THE GIANTS and possess the land (everything)
that we have been promised.

Canaan Land Is Just In Sight

God Bless!!

Just doing some studying today. And thought it might encourage someone to keep holding on... to keep believing in the impossible. (Because NOTHING is impossible with GOD)

All IS WELL

The Shunamite woman

In 2 Kings chapter 4, There was a prophet named Elishia. He would travel from country to country and from city to city. But now the time had come, when he would visit Shunem. There.. he found favour with a certain Shunamite. (A great woman) . She said to her husband I perceive this is a man of God that passeth by us continually. And She felt in her heart the need to provide shelter for the him while he visited.
So she made him a little chamber; there she set a bed, a table, a stool, and a candlestick. And each time he visited Shunem, he always, had a place to stay.
... In return (for all her kindness) Elishia wanted to repay her. He wanted to give her something for all she had done for him and his servant Gehazi ... So she was ask, (in other words) is there anything you need? But she could't think of anything... But his servant Gehazi told him, she has no child.
So .... The prophet calls for her, and is now telling her, in a few months she would give birth to a son.
So the time came, and her son was born. And many years later.... while in the field with his father... the child, (now grown) says to his father.... my head, my head!!.......///

When he was brought to his mother, she held him ... till his life was gone. Then she took him and laid him down on the bed (the bed she had provided for the Elishia, the man of God) and then she set out to find him. But before she left... She told her husband.... "It shall be well" !!

Now Elishia saw her afar off and said to his servant, ... Run now I pray thee, to meet her, and say into her, is all well with thee, .... is all well with thy husband,.... is all well with the child... ? and she answered... "ALL IS WELL"!! .... (Don't... forget her son... is laying at home... dead) ... but
She had to believe everything was going to be alright!!!
Once she reached the man of God.

She just told Gehazi ..."All Is Well"... but when she got to Elishia, she grabbed him by the feet And would not let go. Elishia could tell that she was vexed in her soul... (grieving deep deep, deep within). And then... she said.... or..... (more liked cried out) DID I ASK for a son ? (Did I ask for all this pain?)........... And when she told him what had happened, he sent his servant on ahead of him to lay his staff on the child.....But the servant could not raise him.....
...So when Elishia came into the house, he saw the child was dead, on his bed. He went in a shut the door and begin to pray. Then he followed, the instructions of God. (He laid upon the child (now grown) and his body became warm...then a little while later, he did it a second time.... he did exactly what God told him to do. And the second time the child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. He... was ALIVE !!!!

Then Elishia said to his servant, call the Shunamite. When she came in, he said ..."Take thy son". Then she fell at his feet ..... (oh.... how she was thanking the man of God... for being a TRUE... man of God) and then.... she took her son. And went out.

So here is what I got out of my study today....

How many of us;
Can look at a dead situation in our life and say All IS WELL!!
See something crumbling and say IT WILL STAND!!
See sickness and say IT IS HEALED!!
See weakness and say IT IS STRONG!!! no matter the situation...... SPEAK FAITH... not doubt.

The Shunamite mother didn't just throw up her hands and say it's over. She didn't lose hope even when things DEFINITELY looked hopeless.

So no matter what the situation is, God is always in control... when we are faced with the impossible... Remember we serve a God that does the impossible things !!!
He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to The Power, that works in us. (His Holy Spirit living on the inside).

KNOW THAT GOD IS ABLE!!!

Nothing is too big ... Nothing is too small,
with our God. And FAITH, Is what moves Him.

For they that cometh to God must believe that He Is, and that He Is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

ALL IS WELL!!

God Bless !!

I've looked at this 👇 for a while...
The more I read it...
the more I thought... SO TRUE!!

Momma ❤ Ella Fultz preached a message
That I'll NEVER forget...

"A CHANGE IN YOUR ATTITUDE
WILL CHANGE YOUR ALTITUDE"

Something to think about 🤔

Is It Worth A Dent In Our Armour?

Dented armour is a vulnerable armour
And where there's vulnerability it's easier for the enemy to pe*****te (to get in and destroy)
Paul says to put on
THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD
Eph. 6:10-17

So... when we have put it on, (The Whole Armour)
and then we do and say things to hurt others
Or do and say things that never should come from a child of God...

Those things are...
the equivalent of a very heavy hammer/weapon,
coming down (with force)
*denting* (diminishing,
lessening, weakening, damaging, destroying, breaking)
The Armour you have prayerfully and *fast-fully* (not a word but you get what I'm saying I hope) put on.

*******************************************
Is it worth a dent in our armour?
No... Nothing is worth a dent in our Armour! Absolutely Nothing!!!!!
The world is watching ... Let's be the light we are called to be. A help not a hindrance... A stepping stone, not a stumbling block. Guard your Armour!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(A different aspect)

Is a spotted up robe
Anger, jealousy, envyings, strife, malice,
back bitting ect.(dents in The Armour)

******************************************
Galatians 5:22-23
KJV

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

Having on The Whole Armour of God

UNDENTED !!

We through HIM can conquer our enemies 🙌

"THE SURFACE"

WE ONLY SEE WHAT'S ON THE OUTSIDE!!

I'm going to try to put into words what I feel in my heart this morning. (Not for pity)

{Taking the natural and applying it spiritually.}

*****************************************
When we look at someone...we can't see the hurt on the inside...we only see the SMILE that hides all the pain. (Oh the names that I could insert here... ) 🙏

*****************************************

While hauling and cleaning... helping my hubby work toward getting everything from one house to the other... this weekend I accidentally got my finger smashed. (And oh my gracious did it EVER hurt.)

IT IS WRITTEN... IT IS SAID...

*************************************
Thinking back to a few months ago
Momma was ministering another awesome message.
Every time she would say....

"put some Word on it"

Something would click in my spirit.

She had mentioned this particular phrase several times throughout the message...I begin to think WOW!! that would make an awesome song... I even turned and told my hubby... (that's catchy it should be a song)

So I kept thinking and meditating on the message and the thought of writing a song about how we need to put God's Word on our situations... No matter the case... No mater the problem... No matter ... the storm... the trial... the valley...
No mater ... No matter...
things have to change through the authority of His Name.

He (Jesus) set the example for us to follow (in the wilderness)... Matthew 4:1-11 when the tempter came... Each time JESUS STOOD ON THE WORD!!

"It is written"... "It is said"

*******************************************
Put
Some
Word
On
It
Speak
It
And
Believe
Put
Some
Word
On
It
Claim
The
Victory....

Given By The The Sweet Holy Spirit.... (A few months ago) It is a powerful song... And by The Grace of God... I will sing it to encourage His people.

If you're under pressure

Stay SOLID ❗

Matthew 7:24-25
KJV

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a *rock*

On Christ the SOLID ROCK I stand
All other ground is sinking sand. 🙌

Just A thought...

Thinking of ourselves as...

a "house".. a palace...

Is the Strong Man armed ?
And is He guarding THE WHOLE "HOUSE"?

My AHA Moment

Have you ever had an AHA moment while reading God's Word?

My husband and I were reading in Mark this morning.

Mark Ch. 2

V. 23 says... And it came to pass, that he [Jesus] went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn

V. 24.... And the Pharisees said unto him, [Jesus] Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

******************************************

As we were reading this... I had an *aha* moment... And I chuckled a little...
After that Chapter.. I then discussed with my husband, what had come to me while we were reading.

[And we both admitted the same thing.
Wow.... we've never thought of it like that.]
As many times as we read it... We never thought of it that way.

******************************************
Let's read V. 24 again.... And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

❗That right there was my AHA moment... Right there is when I chuckled.

I thought WOW REALLY!!! ...Of all places!!
*****************************************

Do you know some people will follow you around .. Just to complain about something you're doing?

Do you know where good is evil is present also?

Do you know there's nowhere you can go that negative people won't follow you?
*******************************************

What we just read is an example of that...
...Jesus' disciples couldn't even hide the CORN FIELD. {LOL}

Negativity follow them even in there.
...Of all places to be followed... In A CORN FIELD!!

Can you picture it????

We all know how high and full a corn field can be. Some fields look like a maze.

{Here's how I pictured it... Some peaking around the corn... Some on their tip toes trying to look over corn... And some even parting the corn to see through it}... Just so they could complain...

Oh yeah... the complainers... the murmurers... Just had to follow... They just had to go and see.. what fault they could find. But Jesus put them in their place... as He always did. [Mark Ch 2Vs. 27&28]

*****************************************

Yes it is certain there will always be murmurers and complainers no matter what we do... But as long as we know we are following God, seeking His Will. And doing ALL we know to please Him. That's all that matters........ So ......

STAY POSITIVE
AND KEEP YOUR JOY!!
Even in "THE CORN FIELD"

God Bless

Among the wheat.

Sunday morning at Sunday school. The scripture came up... About the wheat and the tares ... "
--- But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” (Matthew 13:25)

A thought come to me...

If someone is trying to "out-do"..."out-shine"... out-anything... someone else ... Whether it's preaching, singing, music, tithing... It doesn't matter what it is...

Then that person just might be one of the tares The Word is referring to...

**When the winds blows you can definitely tell the difference between the two..**

The tares STAND REAL TALL (as if to say LOOK at me)

{He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him}.” (John 7:18)

But wheat will bow ...

{Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time}. (1 Peter 5:6)

{Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility}.
(Proverbs 18:12)

{He must increase, but I must decrease}.
(John 3:30)

{Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up}.
(James 4:10)

***************************************
If we will allow The Holy Spirit ... He will examine our hearts ... and HIS LIGHT will reveal where we are found.

***************************************
(Matthew 13:24-30)
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

*****************************************
With all of my heart I pray to be found ...

Among the wheat.

God Bless

DID... we get away with it ?...

acting like that?
saying that?
doing that?

No matter what someone thinks is hidden ...

God sees.... 👀

He sees when something is done out of spite

He sees when something is done in love

He sees when we hurt others on purpose

He sees when we go out of our way to help

He sees when we are hateful

He sees when we are patient and kind

Yes God sees... 👀

Nothing is hidden from HIS all seeing eye.

If you have been called and set apart...

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS....

This might be for you 👇
****************************************

NO EARMARK

i've had this in my memo for almost a year.

I've never share it...
But I feel it might encourage someone ....

Have you ever wondered *WHY*
You are fought so much ????
***************************************

I read a post on (Aug 19th 2022)
It said something like...

Where there is
< POTENTIAL OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH >
the enemy will try to "earmark" with calamity

Calamity=disaster, tragedy, crisis,
adversity, woe, affliction, ect

An earmark is :
[An identifying feature or characteristic...
Such as: An identifying mark on the ear of a domestic animal]
***********************************

An identifying mark????
**I
IDENTIFY
IN
CHRIST
JESUS ...
My LORD and My SAVIOUR... ONLY!!! **

So.....
No no no in JESUS NAME no...

First of all I'm not an animal!!!
And second ...
the enemy cannot earmark me...
Because he cannot mark something that doesn't belong to him.

(For instance)
If a farmer owns cattle or pigs or ect
He will lable them.... Brand them with his mark.
****************************************

Earmark with calamity...
Earmark me????... Oh no...I don't think so!!!

I will NOT be branded or labeled by the enemy!!!

Not on Jesus' watch!!! I am in the palm of His Great Big Mighty Hand... And NOTHING can pluck me out!!!

I am HIS !!!

I am a Blood bought...Mercy sought... Holy Ghost filled... Fire baptized... PRECIOUS Anointed Child of The One True King...
I've been saved ... Forgiven.... And REDEEMED... I belong to God..JESUS Purchased me with A GREAT PRICE.. the enemy DOES NOT own me. So therefore he cannot earmark me.

Ephesians 6:11-18

I have put on THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

And having on the Helmet of Salvation means...

MY
*EARS*
ARE
FULLY
COVERED...

HALLELUJAH!!!

JESUS I'm All Yours. Hide me under the shadow of Your Almighty Wing.
You are my Defence
You are my Ever Present Help
You are my Healer
You are my Restoration

RESTORE RESTORE RESTORE
My voice
My health
My strength
So I can go forward in THE CALL YOU HAVE PLACED IN MY LIFE.

This battle belongs to You God
I'm going to see a VICTORY!!!

In Jesus Name Amen.

When we're under spiritual attack ...
Knowing the devices of the enemy ...
Will help us WAR WITH WISDOM...
through GOD'S WORD
