Good Morning Beloved,
I was just reading in Deuteronomy 1: 19-40 . Do you know it? Well, it was about Moses talking to the
whole of Israel. He was talking about the journey from Egypt and what had taken place.. How , the older
ones who left Egypt would not get to see the Promised Land....and why. In v. 32 it says: " Yet in this thing you did not believe the Lord your God."
As I was reading that I was also thinking about the things I have done and not believe and one word jumped
out at me and that was the word " consequent".. Just like what happened in Israel . They had to pay for their disbelief and so do I...
Why do we not learn from our mistakes? Throughout the entire Bible we see where God has had to punish
Israel for disbelief . They would repent and then do it again and again... We are no different are we? I don't
know about you but I have to repent on a daily basis.. I repeat mistakes and so I have to repent for them every time.. But , I am so grateful for a God who loves me so much that he will forgive me if I repent with a humble heart.
Consequences: a result: effect, following as a result of.
So when we do something whether go or bad it has a effect on us.. So, we need to watch what we say, and do and make sure that it is in line with the Word of God.
Smile: this is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet..
With arms wrapped tenderly about you.... your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

Latter Days
Hello Beloved,
I am reading in Ezekiel 38 and 39 this morning . I do not want to be here for what will happen like it states
in these chapters.. I am having a hard time trying to think of why anyone would NOT want to know Christ Jesus. What is so hard to understand the Love that Jesus Christ has for us? I really do not understand.
I am not perfect and I know that ,but I do know that Jesus was perfect and He died for me... He loved me so much that He took my sin ALL of my sin and He did that for you too..The whole of humanity, He came and died for ALL of us... Why is it so hard for some to not know that or understand it?
I would rather believe there is a God, called Jesus Christ, and be wrong, then to believe there is no God, called Jesus Christ and be wrong. For if I believe there is a God called Jesus Christ and I am wrong , I will have lost nothing; but if I believe there is no God called Jesus Christ and I am wrong , I will have lost everything.
When you read and study the scriptures on these chapters , you will see that it is talking about the " latter days" . We are in the latter days... Soon and I believe it will be soon, Jesus is coming back just as He left.
Acts 1: 9-11 KJV
" Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven , shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
So you need to be ready for that.
The last days on earth will not be good days... I believe that the " church" or the " bride of Christ." will be removed before these things take place.... I sure hope if you are reading this that you are in this group.
The last days will be filled with so much choas, confussion, turmoil, hopelessness, and hatred and so much more... I don't want to be here for that... We are living in a time right now where so many of our freedom rights are being taken away. We are truly living in Bibical times...
Now is the time to make yourself right with God... If you have not ask for forgiveness of your sins then I urge you to do that today before it is too late... It is so simple to do... First let me ask you a question.
Do you have a mom or dad, brother , sister, friend or maybe children or grandchildren that you just love
so much you would do anything for them? Do you? Well, Jesus Christ loves you that way and he did do
something for you ,, He died for your sins. Yes, before you were born He died for you because He loved you that much.... We only think we can love, but when you have the love of God in you , then you will know TRUE LOVE. When your child does something wrong do you turn away from them? No, you correct and go on loving them.... That is what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross... He is our Father in Heaven and he corrects us but goes on loving us anyway... So , please if you have not already given your life over to him would you like to do so now? It is so simple.....
Dear Lord Jesus , Please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and my life and be with me so that I may learn your ways... I am sorry for everything I have done that is not pleasing and right ... I want to to learn how you would have me live.... Thank you for forgiving me Lord Jesus.... I pray for your will to be done.. In Jesus name. Amen.
If you have said this prayer or something like this prayer , then I want to welcome you to your new family... The family of God.... I pray that you will find a good bible believing church and learn all you can and live your life for Christ now.... Remmeber that God loves you and so do I.. Till we meet in heaven God Bless you.. Smile: it is a free gift from God for you to give to someone who needs it....
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ. vickie

Experience the Resurrection Power
Hello Beloved,
I was reading a devotional today and it was about Philippians 3:10. It was talking about the Experience of the Resurrection Power.
" I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like Him in His death." Philippians :10 NIV
Paul , did not know Jesus personally in the same way the other Apostles did... Paul did not walk with Jesus like they did. BUT, Paul wanted to know Jesus and he did ; just like you and I, through revelation. Like you and I , Paul prayed and had to listen for the voice of God. He is the Apostle of the Gentiles. ( that would be you and I)
Do you remember the way Paul ( Saul of Tarsus) had his conversion happen? He was on his way to Damascus so he could persecute the disciples of Christ. But while on the
road " a light from heaven flashed around him, he fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "" Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? Saul asks; Who are you, Lord?
"" I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting."" So Paul met Jesus the same way you and I should.. Have you met Jesus yet? Would you like to do that right now? It's simple really.. Just listen and you will hear him knocking at the door of your heart. Do you hear it? The knock. Don't wait to long to answer it. Aw, good you answered it. Now all you have to do is ask Him in.. Ready? Dear Jesus, would you please come into my heart and life and forgive me of all of my sins? I am so sorry Jesus.. I need you in my heart and my life today. Thank you Jesus for loving me and dying for me. In Jesus name. Amen..
Now if you have ask Jesus into your heart and have ask Him to forgive you of ALL your sins. Then you need to take the next step, okay? It is really simple too....
Go to a good Bible teaching church .. Get yourself buried with Christ.. Yes, buried.
How? Well, according to Acts 2:38 Peter tells us to Repent ( you just did that) and then be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19 says the same thing. Go and baptize in the Name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.. The Name is :
Jesus Christ.. John 10: 30 " I and the Father are one." So , go and be baptized in the name of Jesus. That is being buried with Christ and His name is applied to you in the water baptism.
(You can read in Matthew 3:13-16, Mark1: 9-11, Luke 3: 21-22 and also in John 1:31-34; about baptism. )
Now, you are a Son of God.. See Galatians 3:26-29 PLEASE, READ YOUR BIBLE.
Now I started this out with a devotional reading: Experience of the Resurrection Power. Believe it or not you have just experienced that when you gave your life over to Christ Jesus.. He raised you from the dead to eternal life.. So please take some time and thank Him and Praise Him, and worship Him. TODAY, right now.. Jesus loved you so much he died for you. Yes, YOU.
So, Welcome to the family of God.. Someday soon we will all meet in our new Eternal home, Heaven..
God Bless you and keep you.. Remember : Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet... tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Feelings of : Despair, Loneliness, Worthlessness; ect...
Hello Beloved,
Do you ever feel so low, that you feel like you are worthless? Do you ever say anything and once it is out of your mouth you feel really bad? Can't take em back.. Have you ever in anger said something and you really meant it but it still came out wrong? Why does it seem like it is always the one person you don't want to hurt , that you end up hurting the most? Have you ever felt friendless? Does your mind wander to a dangerous place when your down? What kind of things do you think about? Do you ever feel helpless?
What causes all of these things to go on in your head? I am still searching to find these answers..
In Proverbs 13: 7 , it says " For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
So, how is your heart thinking? What is the stronghold in your mind? In 2 Corinthians 10: 4-6,
" ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." So what does all that mean? It means that we should know the Word of God well enough to compare what is in our mind and the mind of God.. We should not exalt any word above the Word of God...
You know all this but when your mind is in this place of feeling so lonely, worthless, or friendless it is hard to remember that we are to say the Word of God out loud.. Sometimes we don't even remember the Word. It is a dark ,nasty, lonely place sometimes in your mind. Everyday is a struggle to hold up your head and go on trying to walk in the light.... Sometimes even when a stranger or someone you know and love tries to lift your mood, it is hard to respond.. I know all this from a personal point of view..
I know too that in the Word of God that we can find a peace that will surpass all understanding. Look at
Philippians 4:7 " And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We should really , really try to put and keep first in our hearts and minds , Jesus Christ..
Everyday we should pray and ask for guidance. I know it is hard to do but, when that little opening comes in your thinking , just say the name of Jesus , that is opening the door to a healthier mind.. Pray like you believe it is happening right now.
For each and every person who might read this and suffer with this thing called depression I am saying this prayer for you..
Dear Lord Jesus,
For anyone who suffers this depression I pray that they would find peace today in their mind.. I pray for the mind to quite down and peace to fill that space . Lord, I pray that your arms be around them in comfort.. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, for your will to be done. Amen.
I am a fellow suffer in this depression but I refuse to let it keep me from enjoing my life and my time with my Jesus.. God Bless and keep your mind peaceful . vickie
