How To Receive Eternal Life

Good Morning Beloved,

What do you need to do to have Eternal Life?  Well, lets turn to the One who can tell us.
In John 3:1-21:  You learn from Christ Jesus what you need to do to receive Eternal Life.
" Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."
So when you see the Verily, verily, it means Double Truth. 
Nicodemus wants to know , how can a man when he is old enter his mother's womb again and be born again?   Christ Jesus answers , " Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
Nicodemus asks, How can these things be?
Christ Jesus answers, "  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak things that we do know, and testify that we have seen, and ye receive not our witness. I have told you earthly things and you believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things?'   As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.  That who so ever believeth in him, should not perish but have eternal life." God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever  believeth should not perish but have everlasting life."   This is a  promise!!!!  For he that does evil loves darkness, but he that does truth comes to the Light.
Christ Jesus is the Light.
So, to have Eternal Life, all you have to do is : believe, be born again of the water and the Spirit.
It is really just that simple.  My prayer is that you would make your calling sure today, don't wait , it is so very, very worth it.  Would you please say a simple prayer with me to receive Christ Jesus as your own personal Savior? 
Dear Father , I want to receive everlasting life, so I confess all of my sins to you. I have broken each of your commandments and I am so sorry . Would you please forgive me ?  Would you please come into my heart and my life and show me the way to eternity with you? Thank you Lord Jesus for dying on the cross for my sins. I  love you  Lord  Jesus. I pray in Jesus name . Amen.  Now, find a church that will teach you about Jesus Christ and go there and be blessed.

I truly hope that you have made a decision  to follow Christ Jesus , because even when you make no decision you have made a decision  .  If you prayed this prayer or one similar  then let me be the first one to say Welcome Brother/ Sister..  You have just made the very best decision of your life.
Smile:  You are the most beautiful you can be when you smile.
In the Love of our Savior Jesus Christ, vickie

How to kill the Giants in your life

Hello Beloved,

This is something I wrote on  February 16,2016  and wanted to keep it here .

I listened to a preacher on T.V. this morning and it was about how to kill the giants in your life.. I took notes and wrote off them , hope I got it  right.  1 Samuel 17.
What do you need to kill the giants in your life?
1)  You need to be able to be under authority.  Whose?  God's.
2)  You need discipline ( you need to put God 1st in every part of your life, first on rising in the morning with praise and prayer.)
3) Get up out of that valley or low place in your life. How? SHOUT!!!! What?  Praises to God . When you shout you win the victory ( look at Joshua 6:16)
4)  Look toward the reward. What is the reward?  Heaven and time with Jesus .  How? With confidence and trust  in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
5)  Be the same in the dark as you are in the light.
6)  Be determined.
7) In this assembly. Where/who is the assembly?  It is whoever you are with and wherever you are. You need to be the same.
8) And now you are equipped to defeat the giant, But,  you have to take off his head( authority) and kill him, then you will have the victory.
This is pretty much what I got from the preaching this a. m..  David who would become King of Israel did all this when he killed Goliath. Goliath in Hebrew means splendid.  This helped  me in my prayers this morning sure hope it will help you.

Darkness v. Night

Hello Beloved,

DARKNESS: entirely or partly without light;  neither giving or receiving light;  hidden;  not easily understood;  gloomy, evil; sinister ;  unenlightened; ignorant; uninformed; obscurity, absence of light

NIGHT: period of darkness in a 24 hour period; from sunset to sunrise

We have all experienced night if we have lived a 24 hour period; but not ALL have experienced darkness.  Darkness of night is different than darkness of darkness.  At night you will have the stars and or moonlight. In darkness of darkness there is NO light.

Want to share an experience I had this past November out in Kansas at a Salt Mine.  This mine is 650 feet below ground.  They have electric lights running throughout the mine.  You take a tour of the mine by doing some walking and reading of the different  exhibits and you also get a  train ride  to see different parts of the mine.  There is a tram you can ride that takes you to a part of the mine you are not allowed to walk in.  The reason is they have no lights there. The guide will take you into this part of the tunnel and shut the lights on his tram off and you can see NOTHING!!!  You can not even see your hand touching your nose!!  It is TOTAL, COMPLETE, ABSENCE OF LIGHT DARKNESS!!!!!!!!
I was so totally lost in the darkness of that mine. It filled my whole being  permeated( to pass into and affect every part ) of my whole existence ( state or fact of being ).  It wasn't long that we sat in that darkness but it was long enough for me to learn something very important about myself.  I needed time to digest ( think over and absorb) what I had just experienced .  It was HUGE !  At least to me. 
I was sitting at home alone the other day  talking to God. Pouring our all of my hurts, anger, bitterness, and all the SINS I could remember.  Purging ( to cleanse of impurities) myself. And sure enough the darkness I felt in that 650 foot deep underground , NO LIGHT salt mine popped up!
So, I asked out loud , why did the darkness feel so right to me, why so safe?  There was no fear in the darkness for me----yet when I go out into the night I am very cautious ( wary)  Why then  no fear in the total , complete, absence of light darkness ?  
Well at night when you go out people can see you.. Can see if your afraid or not.  But underground with no light at all , even the people I was with, sitting next to could NOT see me.  I was as completely alone as you can get ...BUT...GOD.  No one could see me; not my fear, not my agony (great mental or physical pain; struggle)  they could not see how rapid my heart was beating or how shallow my breath was, nor could they see the calm that came on top of all the fear and agony I was experiencing at that moment of truth.
For just an instant moment in time I saw for myself-----myself.  Someone who did not like herself. Why?  Oh my the list goes on and on..  In a nut shell. I was not like everyone I was around.  I have held onto that moment like no other.   I thought I had lived in the darkness ( my mind, thoughts)  but being in that mine 650 feet below the surface showed me more about who I was than probably anything I have ever lived through.
In Scripture in talks about weeping and gnashing of teeth.   When? Where? Why will there be weeping and gnashing of teeth?    When is when you die.  Where is in Hell.  Why is because of final judgement of sinners, those who have chosen NOT to follow the One True God..  You will find this phrase in several places in scripture used in reference to final judgement.
To me Hell will be a place of darkness, TOTAL, COMPLETE, ABSENCE OF LIGHT..  I have been there and seen that and I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY THERE.     Christ Jesus is the Light of the World and I wish to spend eternity with Him.
I wrote this to remind myself that this was but just a step. Psalms 37: 23-24 ,  The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:     these verses are a promise  The Lord holds us in His hand.
Smile:  this is a gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
In the Love of Jesus Christ our Savior, your sister in Christ  vickie
