"What is On My Mind?"

June 8, 2013

What is on my mind?  Much is on my mind trying not to rely on self but to rely solely on God.
Altho is is trying time yet God continues to remind, spend time in The Word of God and to always be in prayer.
Sometimes I get complacent and think I am strong enough to withstand those firery darts that Satan throws and I become easily distracted. God reminds me that Satan comes to steal to kill and to destroy, he is the biggest manipulator by convincing you through pass mistakes that you are not worthy that gOd is angry at you.
When you confessed your sin and asked God to forgive you he has forgiven you.  Satan is the father of lies and he knows that Jesus is victorious , he know that the end is near when he will be no more.
He is trying to take as man souls as he can,  Scripture says if you resist the devil he will flee from you.
The Word of God is a sharp as a twoedged blade it will cut you.  God's Word is our defence against the enemy.

Ephesians 6:10 tells us to be prepared

10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12For 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.

13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel

Life as we say will throw everything as for us to give up, yet God is there he is our strength, our refruge, our provider, we need to take up the sword of the spirit and defeat Satan .

Everyday God is with me daily and I sometimes fall and God reminds me that he is there He will help me to be victorious, to triumph.

Without God life is difficult with God all things are possible.

 

What Have I Been Doing

June 1, 2013

"What have I been doing?" Seemingly it is the ultimate question,really with emphasis "WHAT?" What have I been doing?. 
 Now that I am older it has taken so long to realize what I have known long before when my parents tried to instilled in my life the importance if drawing close to God.  My parents were very involved in church when I was little they did alot.  As usual they were distacted draw away from God. Yet my parents were persistant and felt as children we need structure and direction.  We were very involved growing up in church.  I couldn't wait until I was old enough to get away from attending church.

Proverbs 22:6Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

My parents were right sending us to church.  As I got older I was so distracted the world look good and as I thought satisfying.   I had made so many mistake and my children were caught in the crossfire.  My children surferred through the tragic confusion, I later filed for irrecconcilable differences I made many mistakes that had stolen the Joy from my children, and had taken its toll on their lives due to selfishness  I am thankful because I slowly learned that God has been in control of my life.  I made the wrong decision, and taken the wrong direction in my life and my children suffered because of those decision, and God still was there for them.  They may not realized and had done the same as me not realzing that God is in control even when we make wrong choices.

James 1:2-4

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

 

God already knew thing we would do. Sometimes it takes some of us a longer time to learn and to really get to understand Gods' direction for us.  What saddens me the most is that it took me a long times to understand. The only I can pray is that God will help those that I have hurt to forgive me.

Also that my children to follow and make the same mistakes.

 

I am now learning what I should have learned long before, praying and hoping that God watch over my children and grandchildren.
