Thinking Aloud on paper.

Hello Beloved,

I have been reading again....  I am rereading the Left Behind books.  While I was washing dishes this morning I was praising God and singing songs  and it hit me....   " What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?"
Have you ever read these books?  They are  so much better than the movies.. a lot more detailed.
While you may or may not agree with the writers, you can at least get a feel for what people may go through when the church is translated ( raptured).  You should have your bible close by while reading them.... you can then check out what the scriptures say in your own bible. Just remember to pray first  for understanding.  What is in the books?  Well, it tells you what might happen when the tribulation starts to take place.. ie.... Where will you be able to go for answers?  Who will you be able to trust? How will you continue to make a living?  Will you even live through the judgements that will happen?  How will you keep from  taking the mark of the beast?  As I go through these questions and thoughts I wondered what am I doing for the kingdom of God?
Well, if you know me then you will know that I am a talker..  I love words. I no longer work in the public so I am not around many people anymore but I do like to write( I am NOT a accomplished  
writer)  I just pretty much write the way I talk .. right from the heart.  I have been told that is not always a good thing..... but then that is who I am....
I do not know who may read this but I would like to tell you that God Loves You.  IF you have not ask Him into your heart then I urge you to think strongly about it and then when you accept Him ... let someone know,,,, Me if you would... I would love to hear from you.
We all have gifts I believe that.. I believe my gift is one of love..  I can not remember a time in my life when I was not loving on people....  So that takes me back to the start.... What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?
Well I think I am doing that right now... by writing to you and posting this on the Internet. I am letting people know that God loves them and that we are here to help each other....
We might not all go up in the rapture and we will need to have a place to go to get information so I am letting you know that if you would read your bible you have the answers right there in front of you..... I will have thoughts again and write them again ..... Just know that God Loves you and I do
too through Jesus Christ.  tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus ,  vickie

Is the Earth Groaning?

Good Morning Beloved,

My what a dreary day it is outside, oh, but, what a warm and wonderful day it is on the inside.
While it is to cold and wet to be outside it is nice and warm and dry on the inside and that makes it a great day to spend with God and His Word.. 
Can I ask you something?  I hope you will take time to think about your answer, okay?   Have you ever really thought much about what it will be like when Jesus comes back for the saints?  Have you thought about how the world will change?   How will people treat each other after the saints are removed?   Can you imagine for instance what it would be like to say be in a car driving down the highway and all of a sudden the person who is with you in the car/ truck is just gone?  What about being in a plane and the pilot/ co-pilot is just gone and the plane starts going down?  Train, subway,
a bus?   What about the mess that will come if drivers are gone and the traffic just goes awry?  Have you ever thought about things like that?  I do..
What about the children?  Where would we be without them? What about a pregnant woman about to give birth, what if her baby is just gone?  Do you think these things will really ever happen?
I really think they will and soon.  
Have you been watching the news about earthquakes, floods, droughts, and what about the sink holes?  Do you think it is the earth groaning?  Do you ever hear about the ones who are being put to death because of the Name of Jesus Christ? What about not even being able to say the Name of Jesus Christ here in our own country?  People are offended when you even mention the Name of Christ Jesus.  What are your thoughts on all of this?  Can any of it be backed up by scriptures?  Yes, I believe they can..  Matthew 24, Mark 13,  Luke 21.   I think you will find answers there.   I don't claim to   have all the answers but I do believe what I am reading in God' Word.  I see what is happening in the world.
Do you think it is important to go out and talk to people about the Love of Christ Jesus?  Do you do it?  Are you trying to live like Christ did, in love and forgiveness? Do you let what other people say to you or about you affect your walk with God? Do you think that the time is close at hand for the return of Christ?  Do you even think of these things? 
I am trying to get ready for the return of Jesus Christ.  I have made so many mistakes with people, within my own thinking, in many other ways, but I am seeking and seeking to find my way to Christ.
Have I ask God into my home? yes.  Have I ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart ? yes,  Have I been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ? yes I have.  I have the blood of Jesus applied to my life and I am so grateful for that blood..  I can't earn my way into heaven but I know there are things  need to do before I get there.. 
Smile: it is a free gift from God to share with all you meet.
Tenderly, your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

Stand, Armour, Praise : Part 2

Good Morning Beloved,

I was just rereading the last post on here  and something struck me. So I am going
to see if I can make sense of  it okay?   In the middle part of the last post it went like this.

1.) Stand fast               4.) Peace             7.) the Sword- Word of God
2.) Stand in truth          5.) Faith              8.) Stand in Garment of Praise
3.) Righteousness         6.) Salvation  

Now we know  that numbers mean something in scriptures.. for example:
50 = Pentecost,  12= government so now we will find out what each of the above
numbers mean in scripture..

1.) Unity                      4.) Creative Works                   7.) Complete
2.) Double Portion      5.) Grace                                 8.) New Beginning 
3.) Perfect Number     6.) Man/ Rebellion

So let's put this altogether now and see if it makes sense.
1.) Stand fast, meaning we stand in Unity with God.
2.) Stand in truth meaning we receive a Double Portion.  Doing right and receiving a blessing from God ...
3.) Righteousness mean  God the Father. God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
4.) Peace meaning being able to be to do creative works.
5.) Faith meaning the Grace of God our Father.
6.) Salvation is for a man in rebellion from God our Father( through Jesus Christ the Son of God.
7.) The Sword- Word of God.. means it is complete.
8.) Standing in the Garment of Praise means we have a New Beginning.

So if we put it all together like this . When we stand fast we are in unity and we stand in truth receiving a double portion  from a righteous Father in peace being able to do creative works in Faith which is the Grace of our God who came all the way from Glory to save us the rebellious man with the Sword, the Word of God, in a garment of Praise so we can have a New Beginning.
It makes sense to me.. I hope it does you too..
Remember to smile: a free gift from God to share with all you meet...
