Hello Beloved,
Today ,I would like to talk about something I think is very important... Baptism. I was witness to seven baptisms today.. What a blessing it was for me... Seven new brothers and sisters. I saw two baptised in church and then 5 more baptised in a lake...( a first for me) both were fully under water but in different ways.... The first two went down in the Name of Jesus Christ... and the last five went down in the name of The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit.
It tells us in Matthew 28:19 to Go forth and teach and baptise in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. Now in Acts 2:38 It says to Repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.
Now in Matthew it was Jesus who said to be baptised in the NAME of Father,Son, and Holy Ghost. In Acts it says , that Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptised in the NAME of Jesus Christ . So what is the NAME ? Jesus Christ . We are to be baptised in in the NAME.
Now my thoughts on this are like this...
When a man asks a woman to marry him and she does: then what does she take on?
She takes on his name , correct? Mrs. John Smith. This would be her title..... Mrs. Smith but her name would still be Jane Smith. She would still be known by her name, Jane right.
Is a name important? I think it is... I like being called by my name.... do you?
I believe that when Jesus Christ comes back , He is coming for his bride.... the church; look at
Ephesians 5:22-33 this is an Analogy of family and church( title in my study bible) look at verse 32;" This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Now you need to read 5: 22-33 and see what it says... I believe it is a picture of the Bride of Christ...
the Church, Us, you and me. So I think it is important to have the NAME applied to us ... Do you see what I am saying? Does it make sense to you? I am not trying to be judgemental here, just trying to explain why in my opinion it is very IMPORTANT to get the Name of Jesus Christ applied to your life. I want to be a part of the Bride of Christ... It is important to me..
I believe you have to have the Name of Christ Jesus to be a part of the Bride. That is my thoughts on the matter... I hope that this has not offended anyone and that if you disagree with my thoughts then show me in the scriptures where I am wrong at , please...
God Bless each of you today and remember to Smile, when you do you are dressed the most beautiful you can be.... tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Depression
Hello Beloved,
I will start with something from my last post. First of all.. YOU ARE LOVED.
Now I hope you will remember that throughout this post. YOU ARE LOVED.
I know that many of us have gone through different stages of depression. Women usually go
through some sort after having a baby, " baby blues" I think it is called.. Some go through it when they are going through menopause, some go through when kids leave the nest, some go through it all of their lives.... Many different ways to go through but they ALL come from the same source. Yes, I believe that..... Now, some may want to argue that it from your food intake, or from your genetics, or from something else but I am here to tell you I believe that depression comes from one source, and that source is Satan. yes, you read it right, Satan, who is the father of all lies. Yes, LIES. He has been lying to you in the fact that you are not good enough, not worth it, what is the point, why me, I am ugly, fat, stupid, an idiot, ignorant no account, you cant keep up, cant sing, dance, read, write, learn, ANYTHING that has been said to you that makes you feel like you are not good enough is a LIE straight from Satan, he just used someone else's voice to tell you.....
I want to to be the one to tell you that YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!! Now I will tell you how I know that to be the absolute truth of the whole matter. I hope you are ready for this....
Go and get a Bible out and turn to the book of John... It is in the New Testament ,fourth book..
Now go to John 3:16 and read it out loud... the word you need to see is " whosoever ".
Now the word means: whatever person; no matter who
Do you see that YOUR name IS whosoever? Read it out loud again and in place of whosoever put YOUR name in OK? Now I hope you know that God cannot lie... So if God says He is sending HIS son down here for us to believe in and have everlasting life then why would you believe
ALL the lies from Satan?
Do you see what I am trying to tell you? You can not have it both ways.. You cannot tell yourself that you are in love with Christ Jesus and then turn around and believe all the lies from Satan... Do you see that? You can only have it one way.. Truth or Lies. Which is it that you REALLY believe?
You maybe saying to your self right now , How can she say that to me... Well, I was YOU. I tried to have it both ways for most of my life... It does not work. I am trying to help you here get on with the life that meant to be instead of the one you are choosing,, Yes, you are choosing to be in this horrible state.. You have two choices to make every time. Truth or Lies.. Yes, it is just that simple.... You can go on believing that you are junk or you can take God at His Word and believe that you are a whosoever and that He loved you so much He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ here to die for you... The choice is yours to make... Remember this ... the choice is for eternity... Now , I am going to tell you what I see , not with my natural eyes but with my spiritual eyes OK..
You are worth dying for , you are just exactly who you were created to be, you are loved.
I hope that you will really take the time to read the book of John. God loves you so much..
I love you too.. I know exactly what it feels like to believe all the lies... I am learning fresh new things about myself everyday... I love Christ Jesus more everyday... I am learning how to be
obedient to His Word and not the lies... I am praying that you will learn too..
With all the love of our Savior I love you and hold you in my heart tenderly, your sister in Christ, vickie

Very Personal
Hello Beloved,
I have something weighing heavy on my mind this morning... It is very heavy. I don't really know who I am talking to here but I believe someone needs to hear this. So please just stay with me here, OK?
I heard about someone yesterday that is so badly depressed they are very suicidal. They are already speaking with a doctor. Now, here is where it is going to get personal. Please just stay with me and know that I am speaking as one with experience.
Where to start? I really do not know when it all started for sure... I just know that at one point in my life I starting thinking about taking my own life. I do not know why I felt like;
no one liked me, no one loved me, I was not good enough, I had nothing to offer, I was so ugly and fat, I was not smart enough, I was not popular, I could not keep up in anyway, shape or form..
I sometimes think it must have started back when I was quite small... I was not as big as the other kids it seemed like... I was rather short.... I was pudgy and whining all the time... I guess it was just me and my own stinking thinking. I just know I hurt inside my heart and my head all the time... and for me it has been that way ALL my life.. I have thought so many times of different ways I could take my own life... I even went so far as to research the easiest and best way to do it.... Now that is a sick person..... I was very sick in my head , heart and my soul...
I didn't deserve to live... I was just not made right like " everyone " else... I really believed all of that..
I have sisters and brothers and I looked at them and saw perfection.... they were pretty, smart, had lots of friends, mama and daddy loved them lots more than me.. I was a mistake. I have all my life believed that.. I got married when I was only 17 years old so I could finally feel good about myself... Ha, Ha, joke on me. It didn't work.... I have now a man in my life that makes me feel bad about myself, only because he drinks. Now , what a rotten life I have.. I made it even worse by having children! I was not only a bad daughter and sister but now I was a crummy wife and mother! Why in the world would I want to live anymore and screw up more lives in the process? I have a bad case of the " I HATE MYSELF" . If I couldn't like me how in the earth could anyone else. It just really sucks being me......
I tried several times to do away with myself but as usual I FAILED. I am going to fast forward here.
In October 2007, something happened to change my life AND my way of thinking..
I fell upside down in the bathtub and broke my back. Has to be one of the greatest days of my life. I had to spend some time in the hospital and while there something started to happen to me... I had time to do NOTHING but think... I looked at a clock on the wall and marked time off in seconds. Yes, in seconds. I looked at a crucifix on the wall and started asking myself about
Jesus and how he must have felt all broken up.. Then it started to work on my thoughts about why in the world would I think I was the only one who was hurting like this... Jesus had already suffered ALL that I was .... He knew what it was like to have no one like him. He knew what it it felt like to be broken and used by those around him... He really does know what you are feeling and thinking at all times,. So to use the excuse I like to use.. no one knows what I feel like , what I am thinking or anything of whatever. Well, I was WRONG!!!!! Jesus really does know all that ..
Now lets go back to something said earlier for a minute OK..
My family is NOT perfect nor have they ever been... My husband is NOT drinking now but is a man who is in LOVE with Jesus Christ our Lord. I no longer live in " POLLYANNA"S WORLD""
. I have had to take a long hard look at my life and it has not been a pleasant experience. I know that if you are going through some of the same things in your mind that I did and you may be thinking something like: well that was you and it is not the same as what I am going through" well I am here to tell you this BULL, it is the same no matter if the experience is different.. You feel like you are not worth nothing! I felt the same... So what you need to do is start thinking about someone besides YOU! If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior then I would suggest you get down on your knees and start talking to Him today... I know that from my own personal experience that He is real and He wants to be with you... I will help you if you will let me.. Jesus will be there if you let Him.... So you ARE IMPORTANT to more then you realize.
I do not know about your circumstance nor your life nor probably even who you are but I do know that I LOVE YOU with all the love that Christ Jesus has... Please won't you let someone in today to help you know just how much you mean to them.. I want to help you... please let me... You can contact me through this blog please do so...
Dear Lord I pray for who ever is reading this today that they might feel you in someway today and know that you love them so much that you died for them.. I pray your will be done... In the name of Jesus Christ ... Amen.
God be with you today. vickie

Fellowship
Hello Beloved,
Are you a Christian? Do you claim to be? Do you tell people you are a Christian? So what is your fellowship with Christ Jesus? Do you claim to have fellowship with Him?
According to 1 John 1:6
" If we claim fellowship with Him and yet we walk in darkness, we lie, and do not live by the
truth."
( Now if that doesn't make you sit and and take notice of how you are living, what is is going to take?)
fellowship: companionship, company, association
So according to the definition of the word fellowship. Do you still claim to have fellowship with Christ Jesus?
darkness: devoid of light, dismal, gloomy
light: something that makes vision possible, spiritual illumination, truth.
Now, we have the definition of the above three words.. . fellowship, darkness, and light.. Can we tell if we are in fellowship of darkness or light? I believe we can. If we live in a world of lies, deceit, and frustration then that is a world of darkness ... but if we live in the world of truth, love and peace then we are living in a world of light..
So what is truth? Truth: sincerity in action, character, and utterance.
In John 8:12 (KJV)
Jesus spake unto them saying" I am the light of the world: "
John 14:6
Jesus said unto him, " I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
So we know that God is truth and light... so that only leave darkness and Satan is the father of it... So, now we have to figure out which one we follow or that we want to follow.. Light or darkness?
You would be walking in darkness if you had fear , or worry or were anxious about anything or your thoughts were always negative.
If you fear, you have no faith. If you have faith, you have no fear.
Read what 1 John 1:7 says:
" But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, ......
Now we know that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and we do not have to walk in fear, or worry because we have faith in Him and if we have faith we have no fear...
So do you want to walk in fellowship with the Light or darkness? It is your choice...
Remember that when you smile you are the most beautiful you can be...
God Bless and keep you, tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Words that mean something
Hello Beloved,
I have been thinking about another word that I would like to share with you.
CONSEQUENCE: 1.) results of , effect of. 2.) a logical result or conclusion.
now if we put it in consequences: it means: to accept the results of ones action.
When we make a choice we know that it will end in a consequence(s). So it is important to think about what we do or what we think: Do you agree?
Now, another word to look at is this;
judgement: 1) formal utterance of an authoritative opinion; 2.) Judgement ( capitalized) the final
judging of humankind by God.
So now I will go (or at least I hope I can ) to what I have been thinking, OK? Here we go, please stick with me now...
If you go out and do something wrong and you are found out, then you will have to pay the consequences for it. ie....Say you went out and told on your friend/ siblings, you now have that friend /sibling mad at you for a time.... their being mad at you is a consequence for telling on them... Or maybe you got arrested for speeding and had to go before the court.. Well, now, you have to pay the consequences and you also receive judgement... You had to go to court, consequences and then then judgement , paying the fine for speeding..
Life is like that too. we go through life choosing the wrong places to go , people to be with, or maybe even in the way we eat, drink, or even think..... When we go and choose the wrong way or the wrong people , we have consequences. You know, after the consequences we are still going to have to go through Judgement... So I am thinking , since we know that ahead of time, why then do we still choose the wrong stuff? Why do we think we can know more about it then God?
If anyone out there is guilty, it is ME. I am always choosing in myself and not on what God wants.... I know I am not the only one, but does it bother me . Does it bother you as much as it does me? I think about how many wrong/bad choices I have made in my life and I think , Can God forgive me of all of these things? I know the answer and it is YES!!!!!!! Yes, God forgives me and He will forgive you too.. He sent His Son to die so we could have the choice to believe or not believe... I choose to believe.. How do you choose? It is so easy to go the way of the world isn't it? But I don't belong to this world anymore... I am waiting for my home with Christ Jesus in Eternity. I pray that you will also want to be with Christ Jesus in Eternity. I have so much more I am thinking but space allows only so much .. I pray that today you will chose to be with Jesus in Eternity. Lord Jesus who ever reads this I pray that as The Prince of Peace you would come into their life.... You are Mighty, You are All in All... You are my everything.. I pray that You would become theirs also... Thank you for choosing me to be part of your body. I love you Jesus now and forever...
Remember : Smile you are then dressed the most beautiful you can be.... I love you all tenderly with my heart .... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

When we make a choice we know that it will end in a consequence(s). So it is important to think about what we do or what we think: Do you agree?
Now, another word to look at is this;
judgement: 1) formal utterance of an authoritative opinion; 2.) Judgement ( capitalized) the final
judging of humankind by God.
So now I will go (or at least I hope I can ) to what I have been thinking, OK? Here we go, please stick with me now...
If you go out and do something wrong and you are found out, then you will have to pay the consequences for it. ie....Say you went out and told on your friend/ siblings, you now have that friend /sibling mad at you for a time.... their being mad at you is a consequence for telling on them... Or maybe you got arrested for speeding and had to go before the court.. Well, now, you have to pay the consequences and you also receive judgement... You had to go to court, consequences and then then judgement , paying the fine for speeding..
Life is like that too. we go through life choosing the wrong places to go , people to be with, or maybe even in the way we eat, drink, or even think..... When we go and choose the wrong way or the wrong people , we have consequences. You know, after the consequences we are still going to have to go through Judgement... So I am thinking , since we know that ahead of time, why then do we still choose the wrong stuff? Why do we think we can know more about it then God?
If anyone out there is guilty, it is ME. I am always choosing in myself and not on what God wants.... I know I am not the only one, but does it bother me . Does it bother you as much as it does me? I think about how many wrong/bad choices I have made in my life and I think , Can God forgive me of all of these things? I know the answer and it is YES!!!!!!! Yes, God forgives me and He will forgive you too.. He sent His Son to die so we could have the choice to believe or not believe... I choose to believe.. How do you choose? It is so easy to go the way of the world isn't it? But I don't belong to this world anymore... I am waiting for my home with Christ Jesus in Eternity. I pray that you will also want to be with Christ Jesus in Eternity. I have so much more I am thinking but space allows only so much .. I pray that today you will chose to be with Jesus in Eternity. Lord Jesus who ever reads this I pray that as The Prince of Peace you would come into their life.... You are Mighty, You are All in All... You are my everything.. I pray that You would become theirs also... Thank you for choosing me to be part of your body. I love you Jesus now and forever...
Remember : Smile you are then dressed the most beautiful you can be.... I love you all tenderly with my heart .... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie

Failure
Hello Beloved,
This is going to be a little different today. We are going to explore the word failure. How many ways you can fail... OK. Here goes.
FAILURE: a state of inability to perform normal function; lack of success; falling short; one that has failed.
This is what the word means. Now we will see if we can name some of the ways you can fail.
First a question. How many ways can one person be something to someone else? example:
At birth you become someones child, grandchild, brother or sister, maybe an aunt or uncle, cousin, then you can become someones friend, in-law, wife/ husband, mom/dad, grandparent,co-worker, acquaintance, employee/employer, you can become many more things too.... Now we list some of the ways you fail.
As a child you may fail in not doing what your folks wanted, same with anyone of the others listed above. You failed to live up to what they wanted for you... you didn't do what they wanted you to do, or you said the wrong things, looked the wrong way, acted badly, you just did not do as they wanted you too.... Then as time goes on you have failed yourself because you didn't do as you thought you should...You tried to do what each one wanted but you just could never measure up and you failed again and again and again till one day you said I am a FAILURE at this game called life and reached a point of not knowing where to go or what to do...
This is where you need to have a stable mental outlook on life and it's hard to do that with all these failures in your life. The one place you did not look too was the only place you would find
PEACE, yes, peace from all the failures of this world..... That place to look is up while you are down....... Down on your knees before God and asking Him to let you have a peace that is not of this world, but His peace. John 14:27
He knew you would feel this way and He loved you anyway ! Others may think of you as a failure , you may even think of yourself as a failure but God knew you BEFORE you were. Psalms 139 : read it... It will change your way of thinking... It has mine...
I know what it means to be a failure, all the things listed above, I have failed at.... I have hurt all of them but the one I have hurt the very most was ME. By letting others , by what they said or thought of me become what I said or thought of myself.... That is failure... I should never have let what others say or do make me what I was suppose to be ...
I am suppose to be a light in a dark world of pain and suffering and I was not... I have hidden my light for way to long... I am a child of the King!!!!! I am a Son of God! I have been washed by the Blood of the Lamb and the hearing of the Word.. I am someone who is LOVED by the Creator of us all... I now ask before God in your hearing to break the curse that is over my thoughts and ask Him to please put PEACE where I have had so much failure... I love the Lord God Almighty who is Jesus Christ our Savior. I ask humbly before Him if He will forgive me for all of my life's sins and come unto me with His Holy Spirit and walk before me in my thoughts , my life. In the name of Jesus Christ , I pray for His will to be done. Amen..
Beloved, if you have ever felt like you were a failure please ask now for God to break that curse that is upon you and find peace in our Savior... If He will do it for me , He will do it for you.
I love you all and in that I am not a failure.... If I have hurt you in anyway I ask you now to please forgive me as I have forgiven you.
Remember to smile today,, you may be the only one who shows the light and love of God to someone in that smile and you are dressed the most beautiful you can be when you smile.. It is a
God given gift; your smile...
with all the love and tenderness in my person to you .... your sister in Christ Jesus, vickie
