Good Morning Beloved,
I was asked recently about the Trinity of God. So, the question is: When you talk about the Godhead, are you talking about three god's? I decided to look up 3 words.
1.) trinity: a set of three persons or things that form a unit.
2.) unit: a single person or group especially as distinguished from others; or as a part of a whole.
3.) triune: one being three in one; triad; trinity
So, this is how the Godhead is explained. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit equals
one person.
In John 10:30 (KJV) and also in the ( NIV) it says " I and my Father are one."
God is a Spirit, Jesus Christ is God manifested ( to be evidence) in the flesh, and the Holy Ghost is the Holy Spirit of God.
A few weeks ago my grandson, Michael and I were talking and he wanted me to explain this to him and so I did it this way.. I took an egg out and ask him what is this called? He told me an egg. I told him to break it open and to tell me what he saw inside. He told me that it was an egg white and egg yolk. So I ask , is it three different things ? NO, it is an egg broken down. So, I told him that is the same with the Godhead. Three parts that equal one person.
There are many names and titles for God, but there is only one name under heaven given to man by which we must be saved: that name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Acts 4:10-12 ( paraphrased)
In Matthew 28:19 "2: Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the NAME of the Father , Son, and Holy Spirit." This is Jesus Christ talking to His disciples. Now, go to the book of Acts and see what Peter ( one of Jesus Christ 's disciples) says to do .. Acts 2:38 " Repent, and be baptized in the NAME of Jesus Christ "So the Name is a very important part of our obedience. Very important part of our understanding the Word of God.
If you were having trouble understanding the Godhead I sure hope that this has helped.
Remember: Smile, it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless you today.
your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

LeeAnne: Watching a Spiritual Victory in the Physcial
Hello Beloved,
I am reading a book right now called " Prayer for Victory in Spiritual Warfare , by Dr. Tony Evans. I have just finished the Introduction and as I read it one person jumped into mind. Her name is
LeeAnne and she is in a very personal, very real battle for her health.
The text comes from Ephesians 6: 13-18 on The Armor of God.
1.) The Belt of Truth: " Truth must be accepted internally and then acted on externally"
2.) The Breastplate of Righteousness : " wearing the breastplate of righteousness involves walking securely in your imputed ( assigned) righteousness by virtue of the cross coming clean with God in your practice of righteousness and feeding your spirit with the Word of God so that the Spirit will produce the natural outgrowth of right living from within you,"
3.) The Shoes of Peace: " God offers us a peace that reaches beyond what we can comprehend, when we receive and walk in that peace, it settles in as a guard over our hearts and minds"
4.) The Shield of Faith: " Faith is critical in achieving victory in Spiritual Warfare. " Faith accesses what God has already done or what God plans to do." Faith is a function of the mind that shows up in your reactions , responses, and choices to life." " Faith is an action word."
5.) The Helmet of Salvation: " wearing the Helmet of Salvation , means living in that reality now, securely.
6.) The Sword of the Spirit: " your additional weapon with which you can attack and advance." " It is not your sword , not the church's sword, , nor good works, religion, or even the preacher's sword. It is the only weapon used in the spiritual world, The Sword of the Spirit.. the Word of God.
I have used direct quotes from this book here. The words in bold print. Some have been paraphrased. In each one of these quotes I saw LeeAnne.. I see this young woman each Sunday in church and I watch her come in like she is on top of the world when in fact her world has started to crumble... BUT like it says in # 4 . Faith is a function of the mind, that shows up in your reactions, responses, and choices to life,, and Faith is ACTION word.. LeeAnne shows that each and every time I see her.... She is wearing the FULL Armor of God in this time of her troubles..
God Bless you LeeAnne.

IRVIM: one who crosses over
Hello Beloved,
This morning I was talking to God and I ask Him : What is it I am suppose to do? Well, a few weeks ago I heard James Merritt say " When you don't know what to do; Do what you know to do."
So, as I was sitting at the table talking to God. ( I am not the best listener ) I ask, what is it I am suppose to do? Well , after lunch today I picked up the book I have been reading.. " THE BOOK OF MYSTERIES by Johnathan Cahn. I had not read it since last week. The first two pages I read today, ( the only two I have read so far) seemed like answers to my question this morning.. What is it I am suppose to do?
The first talked about the DAVAR and the OLAM. The Word and the world. We should be choosing the DAVAR over the OLAM. NOT our circumstances, problems or anything else. Okay I got the message here. Get into the Word of God for all your answers.
The second page spoke of the IRVIM. IRVIM means the one who crosses over. Abraham was the fist Hebrew IRVIM. He was commanded to GET OUT of where he was and cross over to the promised land. So I think I got this message too.
Before you can go anywhere, do anything, move up or out you have to be the one to cross over.
So you have to ask yourself some questions.. Where is it you are wanting to go? What is it your going to have to do before you can get there? At the bottom of the second page I read these words "" the secrets of change and breakthrough. YOU have to get out of the way. I am still trying to find my way through the Word of God... Some days I think I may make it and other days I fear I won't . There is one truth I do know..... That Jesus Christ loved and loves me. I am forever and eternally grateful for that.
Smile today: It is a free gift for you to share with all you meet.

An Example of Armour: Sherry
Good Morning Beloved,
I am reading a new book by Jonathan Cahn: The Book of Mysteries. Just started so I am only on Day 48. Just want to share some things I know are true.
I have told you before about my friend Sherry, the Yellow Warrior. How she kept a tablet of prayers and when they were answered she would hi-lite with a yellow marker. How she came back from death, not once but twice!! Well I want to tell you about her again.. Sherry is a Praise the Lord woman. She comes to church sits on the front row and praises the Lord with ALL she has. Most of the time she is very sick.. ( She has been sick the whole time I have known her) She can barely walk or stand up , BUT she gets up and PRAISES! PRAISES!! PRAISES!!! She thanks God for everything.
In this new book, on Day 35, 42, and 48 I have seen my friend , Sherry. The Roads to Zion, How to Multiply Bread, and Into the Deep. Roads traveled , miracles and blessings. I have been a witness to her life. I've seen her down ---and almost out, BUT God. Why Sherry? Because she has a very deep faith and is rooted in the Word of God, and she Praises BEFORE--DURING-- and AFTER the storms in her life.. She is an example of what God wants each of us to be like... Ephesians 6: 10-20.
The Whole Armour of God. It's not always pretty nor is it easy but I heard Sherry this past Sunday say in front of a group of women that it is worth it. I believe her.
The deeper I try to go in the Word of God the more I witness those around me. Sherry has been the example of what God wants from each one of us ( or at least for me) She is a true miracle of God .
I believe I could write a book on this woman !! He ups and downs and yet through it all , Sherry is standing.
Thank you Sherry for showing what it takes to be a Warrior of God. I love you forever my friend.
God Bless each of you today. Remember: Smile it is a gift for you to share with all you meet,

Being Rooted and Finishing The Race
Hello Beloved,
Today I am going to write about being rooted in God's Word.
All we seem to hear about today is " The Last Days". That is good but, it is not enough. We need to take a look at what we NEED to survive the Last Days, not physically but spiritually . In the book of Revelation 2:5 it tells us to REPENT ( regret, be sorry, change) and do your first works. ( read it )
What were your first works? When you accepted / received Christ Jesus as your personal Savior, what did you do? You showed Him to everyone, everywhere you went. You showed the LOVE of Christ. In your attitude, words, your service, your money, willingness to LISTEN to God, Your desire to know more about Him. You were so in love with Christ. What happened?
You started the race very well. You were excited and full of the Spirit of God and showed it. LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS AND TEMPERANCE. Fruits of the Spirit. Galatians 5: 22-23. These are what came out of you and these are what we need to get back too.
We need to Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks for everything, DO NOT QUENCH ( extinguish, put out, stop ) the Spirit, Despise not prophesying ( the preaching of the Good News), Prove ALL things and hold fast to that which is good, Abstain ( voluntarily do without) from the appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
Did you notice that what we need to do is taken from both books in the chapter 5? Five (5) is the number of GRACE.
God sent His son, Christ Jesus, to die for us. We are evil people, sinners; BUT Christ Jesus cam and took our sins ; Yes, OUR sins , even tho we had not been born yet. He died for us. He had done no wrong and yet He took our punishment.. He went the the cross knowing all of our sins and He paid for them in FULL with HIS shed blood. THAT IS GRACE.
Now is not the time to be falling away from the Word of God. Don't fall for the wiles of the world. Easy is NOT always the best way to go. If you want something you have to work for it.. Relationships need work too. You have to spend time with God to learn about Him. Don't let others fill you with themselves... LISTEN to the Word of God. Your pastor, teacher, apostle, prophet, or evangelist can NOT get you your salvation.. They can show or teach you how to get salvation ( and that is what their job is) BUT only the Blood of Jesus Christ can bring salvation. Romans 5:9; 1 John 1:7; Exodus 12:13
This relationship should be the one you really want... This relationship is ETERNAL. The ones we have here now, are just temporary .. Once you have a relationship with Christ Jesus ,,,NOTHING can separate you , NOTHING. Romans 8:35-39 Read it. The ones we have here can be separated. By anger, lies, divorce, death, and on and on.. So your relationship with Christ Jesus is the most important one you can or will ever have.
Start your relationship with Christ today.. Just talk to Him and tell Him your sorry and ask Him to forgive you and come live inside your heart right ow. John 3:16 says that WHOSOEVER believes in Him should not perish.. You are a WHOSOEVER. Yes, there is more but today ask Christ into your heart and know that it is a promise.. Start getting rooted in Christ. Being rooted and grounded in Christ is not belonging to a church but belonging to THE CHURCH. It is all about being in LOVE with Christ Jesus.. Now finish the race you started. Maybe not to fast but slow and steady will win the race. In Christ Jesus love and blessings to you .. vickie

Who Am I ?
Hello Beloved,
This past week a young girl took her own life.. Now before you go and judge her maybe you need to STOP and think first.. This young girl was being bullied. Now it maybe that you have never been bullied or maybe you are the bully. At any rate being a bully is just plain not right.
I sat down just after I heard about this young girl and this is what came out... May not make any sense to anyone but it did to me when I wrote it out. Enough said.
Who am I?
Who am I that anyone would want to be around?
Who am I that you would want to talk with?
Who am I that you would say hi to?
Who am I that you would want to be friends with?
Who AM I?
I am that girl who stands by herself at the door in school.
I am the girl that everyone pushes her chair away from her desk.
I am the girl who sits by herself at lunch.
I am the girl who is always picked last in gym class.
I am the girl who gets laughed at in class because I forgot the answer to the teacher's question.
I am the girl who is to skinny and my clothes don't fit well.
I am the girl who is overweight and has pimples on my forehead.
I am the girl who is wearing funky glasses to hid behind.
I am the girl who stutters when I try to talk.
I am the girl who is so lonely.
I am the girl with no friends.
I am the girl that wishes just one person would talk to me and get to know me.
I am the girl who wishes she was not so scared to ask you to be my friend.
I am the girl who is so timid and shy.
I am the girl who stands here and cries and no one hears.
Who Am I?
I am someone who is just looking for a friend to accept me as I am.
WHO are YOU? Will you be my friend?
Being the odd one out is no fun... We all need a friend to make it in this world... Teach your young ones what it is like for the one who is hurting.... Tell them that words DO hurt and they never leave. Being different is not a bad thing... being a bully is.. Teach your children , it starts with you in the home.... teach them to be kind to everyone. Someday that kid you have bullied just may be the one who has to save your life someday,.. Maybe as a doctor, lawyer, policeman, or fireman or maybe even your boss.. Treat everyone that way you want to be treated, with love and kindness.
In the love of Christ Jesus.. vickie

Isaiah Chapter 10 and then 12
Hello Beloved,
I want to share with you what was taught in church tonight. We have been blessed in our church with a man who can put things together so even I can understand them. He has been to places and seen things and can make the Word come alive because of his experiences. Yes, we are truly blessed.
As today is November 22, 2015, this is what was taught in church tonight. I do hope you will pay attention. PLEASE go and get your Bible and follow along. Please, thank you.
We were in the book of Isaiah, chapter 10 and then chapter 12. I wrote notes down so I am just going to try and go by my notes. okay? I hope I wrote it down correctly. Let's start with 10:1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees.... lets start there.. unrighteous decrees, that is unlawfulness. Haven't we seen this take place already in our country this year? Yes, we have. Of course you know about what I speak. 10:2-3 read these verses and think about it... it is happening TODAY! v.4 Without me. Who is the me? It is Jesus. Whose hand is stretched out still? Jesus. v. 5 Who are the Assyrian? Folks that is Syria . " O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, (whose anger? the staff in their hand is mine indignation "Who is this talking about? Jesus Christ. He is holding them in the palm of His hand. Yes, He is. v. 6 I will send him against and hypocritical nation ( Guess who? Yep, USA) and against the people of my wrath will I give him charge to take the spoil... Folks are you even paying attention to what is going on in the world right now? This is ALL happening right before your very eyes!!!!! WAKE UP!!! Pay attention! God means it. Do you keep saying the "I" word all the time? Well quit it!! You are not to be worshipped.. When you say I all the time you are making yourself an idol.. So STOP IT!! There is so much more in this chapter. The same with 13 so much in it.. If this is of interest to you , you can always go to www.sermon.net/GMM and listen to this man on there. It would be of great benefit to you for sure. The Word of God is being played out right before your very own eyes every day. So it is time for a WAKE UP call to self! God says what he means and means what he says. Are you ready ? Jesus is coming back and it will be soon!! Please if you have not accepted Christ Jesus as your Savior do it NOW! He loves you so much.
Where do you stand? With whom do you Stand? How strong is your faith? What about your courage? Please get ready, Jesus Christ died for the world, you are a part of the world.
I love you all with the love of Christ Jesus. vickie

Unconditional Love Luke 15:11-31
Good Morning Beloved,
Want to talk about Luke 15: 11-32 today. If you have your Bible out you can read it, okay? It is the parable of the lost son. A son goes to his father and asks for his part of the inheritance. Father gives it to him and the son departs for another country. He lives it up and parties hardy.. He wastes all of his inheritance on nothing. Soon he runs out of money ( famine) and he now is in need of ....., So he have to take a job. Well he was so hungry that if it had been offered he would have been happy to eat what the swine ( pigs) ate. He thinks to himself , back home on my father's place the servants are fairing better than I. So he decides what he will say to his father and he heads for home. He is not worthy to be called a son, so he thinks. As he approached closer to his father's place , his father sees him coming. He is so happy that his son is alive and alright, before the son reaches home the father is running out to meet him.. The son is dirty and smelly and hungry and scared but the father does not see that... No, he sees someone he thought was gone forever standing in front of him . Someone whom he loved so much and now he is returned...
Now, do you have a child that you felt like was lost? Someone who left and maybe some hard words were said between you? Time has passed by but the pain of not knowing has not left. The love you felt for that someone has not left. The desire to be with that someone is still there. Maybe the other someone feels that way too but pride is standing in the way.. Or maybe it is fear of not knowing what you will do or say. Maybe it is guilt that keeps them away or maybe it is just that they need a nudge in your direction..
Now, the son is home and the father dresses him in the finest robe ( probably the father's own robe ) and he has sandals for his feet, and he has the ring put on him( this is what they used for authority) and the father says kill the fatted calf we will have a party in honor of my son returning.. Now, does this sound like a father who is still upset with his son? Sounds like a father with unconditional love to me..
Your someone wants to come home and make peace between you what will you do? Will you fix up a nice huge meal and invite your friends over to celebrate with you? Will you fix a place for your someone to lay his head? Will you have new clean clothes there for them to wear? Will you have your arms opened wide to receive them?
Call them and tell them all is forgiven. You take the low road ( the one where you take the first step towards reconciliation ) tell them you love them , show them you love and forgive them and let things start afresh ( a new beginning) between you.
This is what happened in Luke.. The father forgave his son and welcomed him home with love and forgiveness. You can do the same...

Want to talk about Luke 15: 11-32 today. If you have your Bible out you can read it, okay? It is the parable of the lost son. A son goes to his father and asks for his part of the inheritance. Father gives it to him and the son departs for another country. He lives it up and parties hardy.. He wastes all of his inheritance on nothing. Soon he runs out of money ( famine) and he now is in need of ....., So he have to take a job. Well he was so hungry that if it had been offered he would have been happy to eat what the swine ( pigs) ate. He thinks to himself , back home on my father's place the servants are fairing better than I. So he decides what he will say to his father and he heads for home. He is not worthy to be called a son, so he thinks. As he approached closer to his father's place , his father sees him coming. He is so happy that his son is alive and alright, before the son reaches home the father is running out to meet him.. The son is dirty and smelly and hungry and scared but the father does not see that... No, he sees someone he thought was gone forever standing in front of him .
