Will you even read this? Probably not.

Hello Beloved,

Today my heart is very heavy.  I just need a friend today.  So many things going through my mind today..   I think , have I become so selfish I don't help anyone?  How can I help them I ask myself.. I don't rightly know the answer to that.    One of the things I have on my heart right now is,, What are you doing to HELP the Jews and Christians in the world today?  Are you just sitting in the comfort of your own place and doing nothing?  What are you willing to do to help those who are suffering because of their faith? Will you help?  Are you willing to suffer with them? Do you not know that it may be you soon who is to suffer for what you believe?  Do you REALLY want to serve  the Lord Jesus Christ today?  It is getting pretty scary out there now , if you profess your love of Christ Jesus.  Are you REALLY willing to DIE for your faith?   So, do you even understand what is going on in this world ?  What about things you should know that are happening all around you, are you paying attention to them?   You love the Word of God but do you really?  Are you willing to do what it says?   To LOVE your neighbor?  Who is my neighbor?  Is it just next door to my house ? Or is it whomever is near me?  Who is my enemy?  Am I to REALLY love them?  What am I suppose to do?  Is prayer enough?  How do I help someone who is on the other side of the world?  IS prayer enough?  I do not know the answer to any of these questions, not really.. I do know that I profess out loud right now.. I BELIEVE IN CHRIST JESUS, I LOVE HIM. I WANT TO SERVE HIM,,  I want to do the right things.. BUT is that enough?   How can I help?  If you read this and you have any answers please share them with me.. I am very confused right now.. I think way to much.. Have you got answers your willing to share?  Will you be my friend today?  I am asking for help with these weighty questions.. I know Jesus is coming and it is soon...  I just want to be ready to hear Him say "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
Thanks to all who read this and have answers.. I appreciate your help.
Vickie , a confused sister in Christ.

Repentence, Judgement, The Book of Life

Hello Beloved,


I have just finished reading a book by Dr. David Jeremiah, called  AGENTS OF THE APOCALYPSE.  The last chapter of the book is called " THE JUDGE"  . As I was reading it something inside of me stirred  up and I felt the need to repent all over again... .
When you repent how do you do it?  Do you say something like this;  Father forgive me of all my sins , and then say Amen or do you stop and look inside and make a list and ask  forgiveness of each offense?  Well, I wasn't really sure how I was suppose to do it so I decided after reading this chapter to start all over again and repent. 
Matthew 5:16  " let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
We should not use this verse to say something like .... Hey look at what I did! I gave so and so money, or I stopped and gave the man at the corner asking for food, food. When you start to brag on yourself , then you have just received your reward..
It's the little things we forget to ask forgiveness for.. example... You just ran a red light, you went over the speed limit, ran a stop sign...  thinks like that ... You broke the law when you did it.. What about cussing that driver out who pulled in front of you, calling people names, throwing trash out of the window of your car..  Has someone ask you for something and you lied about having it?   What about plotting against someone? Ever done that? What about using the computer to watch porn, or read a magazine with porn?  Have you let your mind go and have a dirty fantasy?  What about hardening heart against someone or something?  Have you ever done anything like this?
I have.  So after reading this chapter in this book ... I had some serious things to own up too.   Have you ask for forgiveness for the things you think are insignificant to you but are not to God?
You may not know the impact of what you do or say around someone until it is to late to take it back... So, we need to be extra careful how we act or how we speak when we are around people.. Remember, even if your alone, Jesus Christ knows.  We really do not have any secrets , you can lie to self but you can not lie to God.
There is a book called " The Book of Life."  and YES!  it is real! Is your name written in there or has it been blotted out? You don't know?  Well, then it is time to REPENT of your sins .. Big ones, little ones, and insignificant ones.... and MEAN IT.  I want to hear "  Well done, thou good and faithful servant'. Not; " I never knew  you".   I want to be in the light not the darkness.
YOUR LIFE MATTERS.   How you live your life matters.  In the end your life choices will determine where you spend eternity; with Christ Jesus or without Him.. YOU are the one making the choice.
Anyone not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire.
So the choice is yours to make , don't wait long because Jesus is coming soon!!
Remember to smile : it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless you.   in the love of Christ Jesus , your sister in Christ, vickie

Today's Decision Determines Tomorrows Destiny

Good Morning Beloved,


This is true for every single person who is born:
 "TODAY'S DECISION DETERMINES TOMORROW'S DESTINY"
Quoted from James Merritt.


Luke 16: 19-31
 You did not get to chose your family tree, nor what you look like, not the color of your skin, eyes, hair, BUT you do get to chose where you will spend eternity.  You choose even when you don't choose. So, if you think by not choosing  you can just slide by then you have made your choice.. A no choice is a choice.  .
You either chose to live for the world created by God, or you chose to live for God who created the world.  Your choice.
Do you want to be carried or buried when you die?  Your choice.
There is a big difference.. look at v. 23.  The beggar ( Lazarus, meaning  God my help or In God I trust) was carried away by angels.  The rich man was buried.  Beggar had nothing while alive EXCEPT the love for God... Rich man had everything, EXCEPT the love of God..  So carried or buried?  Your choice.
You need to listen to God.
The rich man wants Father Abraham to send Lazarus back to warn his five brothers about the torment of the place he is in..  Abraham tells him , they won't listen to Moses and the prophets ; they won't listen to someone raised from the dead... Now, does that sound familiar?   Jesus was raised from the dead ;  and is EVERYONE paying attention ?  No.  So if you are reading this message and you don't chose, then you have chosen.
Faith comes by  HEARING the Word of God.
" But not everyone who hears the Good News has welcomed it, for Isaiah the prophet said " Lord, who has believed me when I told them? "  Yet faith comes from LISTENING ( my emphasis) to this Good News, the Good News about Christ." 
Romans 10:16-17   From the Children's Living Bible
Jesus died for our sins.. He loved us that much.  So , today you need to chose who OR what you love the most.. Remember!!
'' TODAY'S DECISION DETERMINES TOMORROW'S DESTINY "  James Merritt
I prayed that you will make the decision to follow Christ Jesus .. If you need someone to pray with you or just to talk to you.. Here I am.. contact me here on this post  and I will answer you ... I promise.
Remember:  Smile , you are the most beautiful when you do...
your sister in Christ, vickie
