Hello Beloved,
Genealogy, is it important? I spent over 15 years (active) years doing a family history
for myself.. It was fun learning about who my ancestors were and what they did, how they lived , where they were from , that sort of thing.. I started out doing it for a medical genealogy.. Every time you would go to the doctor they wanted to know about your family's medical history.. Well, I didn't know much, so I set out, to find out.
Like I said it was fun... it was also expensive! I did my research by " snail mail" , going to graveyards, digging into history books, stuff like that.... today you can do most of it in the comfort of your own home at a computer and with the touch of a few buttons you can know all about who you are and where your from...
Now lets take Jesus and His genealogy.. We find one in Matthew 1: 1-16. It tells us from Abraham to Joseph,( husband of Mary, who is the mother of Jesus Christ.) In it is lists five woman.. The Jewish people needed to know only the line of the father to make things legal. So, why then do you think that in Matthew it lists these five woman? Were they important? What did they do? How did they live day by day? What makes them so important that they had to be listed in this genealogy?
As I heard from a pastor on TV. " No person is beyond God's supernatural grace"
A genealogy reveals what kind of people are in it...So let us look at these woman in Matthew 1: 3, 1:5, 1:6.
Matthew 1:3 KJV Thamar ( Tamar) Go to Genesis 38:1-30 tells the story of this woman... She married a wicked man and he died and then the brother of this man was to take and give her a child , but he did not and he died... now the father-in-law, Judah, says go and when my youngest son is ready to marry I will give you to him.... He lied. Now Tamar had waited as a widow for sometime, then the father-in-laws wife died and Tamar found out where Judah would be and she went there... She dressed as a harlot and slept with Judah.. She then found herself with child. She gave birth to twins, Pharez and Zarah. We see that this woman did a dishonest thing but we also see that she is in the genealogy of Christ Jesus.
Matthew1:5 KJV Rachab ( Rahab) Now go to Joshua 2:1-21 . This tells the story of Rahab, who was a harlot by trade. Joshua sent two spies to Jericho to see what the land was like and they went to Rahab's place and she hid them.. The king sent unto Rahab and said where are these men? She said they were here but they left and I don't know where they are.... So this Rahab lied to the king. Now the spies told her to keep quite and she put a scarlet line out her window and all her family with her and was saved and she too became a part of the genealogy of Christ Jesus. She lied and was a harlot.
Matthew 1:6 KJV " wife of Urias"( Uriah) Go to 2 Samuel 11: 1-5 to start. This tell the story of how King David took up with another man's wife.. Bathsheba was her name. She is the mother of King Solomon. Now, Bathsheba was another man's wife ,yet she went and slept with the King and conceived a child out of wedlock.. Yet she is in the genealogy also of Christ Jesus...
These woman were not of high moral standards, yet they are listed in the genealogy of
Christ Jesus. So I repeat " No person is beyond God's supernatural grace."
If you are thinking that God can not use someone like you, then you need to think again. Look again at just these 3 women, God used them and He will use you too... but you have to let Him..
Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with others... God Bless each of you..
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you, your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie

Searching: Psalms 120:5
Hello Beloved,
When I opened my Bible this morning it went to Psalm 120. So, I read it and do you know what it was about? The tongue! I read it and then it made me do a little research.. I like to know what words mean, do you? It talks about lying lips and a deceitful tongue. Now read verse 5.
Psalms 120: 5 " Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar."
OK, where is Mesech and Kedar? What do they mean? Well , this is what I found out.
Back in Genesis, we have Noah and his wife and three sons and wives( 8saved = new beginnings) who are saved in an Ark from the Flood. When they finally rest the ark and they are told to go forth and replenish the earth.( start families). So, one of the sons of Noah was called Japheth and he had a son called Meshech. The name Meshech means ; drawing out. Well, the place where Meshech traveled to is what we would now in 2012, call Russia. In Ezekiel 38 :16, ( please read the entire chapter) it tells that they will in the last days come up against Israel.
Now, Kedar , meaning : dark skinned. In Genesis 25:13, it shows that Kedar is the second son of Ishmael. They were a nomadic tribe living in the NW Arabian Desert. Stretching from Yeman to the Persian Gulf and from Oman to Jordon and Iraq. We also know these countries will play a role in the last days against Israel. One to the far North and one to the South of Israel.
So I now know where these countries are. So to get back to the reason for this I go back to Psalms 120. I wanted to know what verse 5 meant and I think I know now... Maybe you will agree, maybe you won't but for me it makes sense. Are you ready? Here we go....
I think it may mean that living far from God, but longing for salvation.. Made sense to me... Some days I feel like I am living far from God but longing for Him.. I know that he will never leave me nor forsake me, but, some days I forget that and I suffer for forgetting... MY tongue gets in the way sometimes and I have to really work hard at bringing it back in...."" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
Isn't it wonderful what reading God's Word can make you think about? I love The Word and I love the research that goes into learning about The Word.

Words: Are They Important?
Hello Beloved,
I would like to talk about words. We all use them everyday. Every time we speak, or we read, we use words; but, have you ever thought about what " word" is or means?
" WORD" - sound or combination of sounds that has a meaning and is spoken or written. This is what the Merriam- Webster's Dictionary says is the meaning .
Let's first take" the sound spoken". In Genesis 1:3 " And God said, let there be light; and there was light." Now lets go to Hebrews 11:3 " Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Now lets go to John 1:1 " In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was God. " Now, go to Psalms 33:6, " by the word of the Lord were the heavens made; " v. 9) " For he spake, and it was done." The Word spoke and here we are. You are also reading the written word, so now I want to tell you about this book I am reading on the words that come out of your mouth.
This book is called The Tongue, A Creative Force, by Charles Capps.
' THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD IS CREATIVE POWER'
When you pray do you pray the problem or the answer? I had not thought like that before. Do you listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth? Are they words that can create good results or bad ones? Are you using positive words or negative ones? Do you use the scriptures when you pray? What are you after when you pray? A result or defeat? Idle words work against you. So we should always remember when we speak to speak in obedience to the spiritual law, which is
The Word of God.
In Hosea 4:6 " My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". Lack of knowledge can cause us to be destroyed. We are created in God's image. God is a Spirit, we
are also a spiritual being. So, as spiritual beings we need to obey the Spiritual Law. When we speak contrary to the Word of God ( spiritual law) we are violating this law.
Words are important. We need to start being very consciouses about the words we speak... Words are like little seeds that produce according to God's Word...or they can produce according to the negative way we speak... What do you think would be the best way to speak? God spoke and it was done.. This is as true today as it was when God said, Let there be light..
I love words , to speak and to write and read and this is a lesson I needed to know today.... Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share with everyone you meet.
God Bless each of you today . Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus . vickie

Weight Loss: Physcial or Spiritual
Hello Beloved,
Something I was thinking about before I fell asleep last night... I know that I am
overweight. As I lay down on the pillow my thoughts turned to how much overweight
I really am..... I got angry at myself just thinking about it... and that made me think of something else..
If in the physical I am overweight , then I had to think about why or what had caused me to be that way. So I was thinking of things like sodas, chips, eating at fast food places, not getting proper amounts of rest or exercise. The list goes on........
So, if I am to lose the weight I need to do something about it.. Like watch what I eat and get the correct amount of rest and exercise ect.... This is if I really want to look healthy and be healthy.
It is the same in the spiritual realm... If I am wanting to have a good relationship with God then I need to find out what I need to do to have that relationship ... I will need to find out what is keeping me from a close relationship with God... How? Well, if I know anything about the Word of God , then I know that anger is not good, bitterness and hatred they are not good. So, what do I need to do to get over these things?
Well, I think first I should pray and ask God to forgive me for feeling this way and then I need to get into the Word of God , EVERY DAY. I will then learn how to let things go and learn how God wants me to live...
Just think, this is the same answer for losing physical weight... right? Learn how to let things go. Like the foods we eat that are not good for us and let the late nights go and get proper amounts of sleep and then get up off our backsides and exercise... and we have to do it EVERY DAY.
So, I guess we just need to EVERY DAY think about what we eat.... whether it is for our physical health or our spiritual health. This is just what I was thinking about as I laid down to sleep last night...
Smile: It is a free gift from God for you to share each and everyday with someone...
God Bless and one more question... Are you ready should Jesus come today?
If not, please get ready today.... Jesus is coming soon... It's easy to get ready..
Just answer the knock at the door of your heart... and let Jesus come in...
Simple prayer .. Dear Lord would you please forgive me of my sins and come into my life and heart today? Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for my sins.. In Jesus name. Amen
Now find a good Bible based Church and go... God Bless you.

Where is Satan in the 1000 years?
Hello Beloved,
We last talked about Revelation : Two Witnesses, and how the " rapture" can and will take place.. Now I would like to address something else... It's about the
evil one; Satan, Lucifer, serpent, dragon, the devil; and where he will be spending the Millennial Reign ( 1000 years).
While some may think that he will be spending them here on earth with those left behind,in a sense that may be true.. If you are talking about the anti-christ being here.. Yes, the anti-christ is a man indwelt of Satan. But if you are speaking of the 1000 years after the tribulation then I would say , no I disagree. In the Bible ( KJV) , we learn from the book of Genesis 3:1-6 that the serpent has been lying since the very beginning of man. Please , I ask you to go and read this for yourself...
Genesis 3:4 " And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die." Now we know that this is a lie.. Please read this for your self..
Throughout the entire Word of God, ( The Holy Bible) we read about how this old serpent, the devil, has lied to man and cause him to fall so far from God.
Idol worship, greed, lust, to name just a few is how Satan gets to us... It will go this way until the return of Christ Jesus....
Please go now to the book of Revelation; We know that a time is coming when the world will accept the anti-christ as the world leader.... That time is upon us now. Throughout this time( the Tribulation) I believe that the " church" will be gone and the ones left behind will go through so much bad stuff... horrible things, things so bad we can not truly image what it will be like.....read the book of Revelation to see what will happen...This will all take place in a seven year period.... The anti-christ will be in charge and then after the seven years ... Then Armageddon happens, Christ returns and this takes you to Chapter 20 in Revelation where you find that in Revelation 20:1-3, " And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."
" And he laid hold on the " dragon" that old serpent, which is the devil, and Satan and bound him for a thousand years." (1000 years) " And cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season."
So, I believe that Satan will be bound for a 1000 years and not with those left behind. I believe that the ones who are left behind will have a second chance in accepting Christ as their Savior , it will not be an easy choice but I still believe that some will make that choice..... IF not true then who are the " tribulation saints"? This is how I understand the scriptures.. Right or wrong that is up to my Lord and Savior.... Have you made a decision to follow Christ now while there is still time? I pray you have.. I am not intending to upset or offend anyone.. I am praying for all out there.... that you would find peace in our Savior Jesus Christ..... tenderly with arms about you ... your sister in Christ Jesus.. vickie

Revelation: Two Witnesses
Hello Beloved,
I was listening to a preacher on TV the other day and he was talking about
Revelation 11: The Two Witnesses. Please get out your Bible and read what it says... It does not name the Witnesses BUT, ( always is a but) most people believe they know who they are..... Some say Moses and Elijah, some say Elijah and Enoch. I think I go along with Elijah and Enoch.
In Genesis 5: 21-24 ( pay close attention to 24)
" And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.. "
Now go to 2 Kings 2: and read this chapter pay attention to v. 11
" there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
Now the way I read that is this: Enoch and Elijah neither one died.... And in scripture it says: " and it is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgement". Hebrews 9:27
Enoch and Elijah have not died yet.... Now , turn to Revelation 11:8
" And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of that great city"
They have to die and then comes judgement... This is what you and I will have to do also.... We have to die and then we will be judged.
Now , here is where you may or may not agree and that is just fine... We all have to search out the scriptures to our own understanding.. Go now to Philippians 2:12 " work out your own salvation with fear and trembling".
I have use scriptures here to show you that while the word " rapture" is not in the Bible it does show that it will happen.... We will be translated ( changed) , caught up ( rapture) when the time appointed comes...
Now read: 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 v.17
" Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds , to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord".
I think this is a good explanation of what we call the " rapture". I do believe that it will take place and I believe it will be taking place very soon..
Have you made your choice of where you are going to spend eternity? I sure hope you have... If you haven't and you would like to do that now.. I can say a prayer with you and then you can find a good Bible based church and be baptized and know then that you will get to spend eternity with our Savior Jesus Christ. Would you like to pray now?
Dear Lord Jesus, Would you please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart , my life and show me the way , that you want me to live... I am sorry for all my sins and I want to start living to please you... I pray you will forgive me and come into my life... In Jesus name.... Amen..
Now find a good Bible church and study to show yourself approved...

For God So Loved The World
Hello Beloved,
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. " John 3:16
This has been my favorite bible verse since I can remember.. I was just thinking about it again... Have you got a favorite verse that you think about ? Do you say it out loud a lot? What happens when you do? When I say mine out loud
it makes me think of things like : who is the world? Who is a whosoever? What is everlasting life , and what will it be like? So, as I was thinking about these
things today I decided I would write my thoughts and feelings on them down.. So here goes,,, you may or may not agree with me and that is okay too...
We all see things a little differently and that is okay , because we are all different..
Who is the world? Well, for one I am.... so are you... If you or I had been the only one here God would still have sent his son down here to die for our sins. How does that make you feel? Me, humble and very loved... To think that our Savior would have done that for just me! Whoa, that is some pretty heady ( intoxicating) stuff. But, wait a minute ..... He did it for YOU too.... Now, how do you feel?
His only begotten son... Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Who is the whosoever?
I like this one..... whosoever is YOU and me...Yep, it is the one who will turn to Christ Jesus and ask him into their heart. You may not feel like much to the world or to the people in the world but let me tell you this, YOU are a whosoever! You get to chose the world or Christ Jesus... You get to chose!!! When you chose Jesus you have become a whosoever and I think that is the most wonderful place you can be... It is about choice. I have chosen to become a whosoever in the Kingdom of God... What are you going to chose?
Not perish?
perish: to be utterly destroyed or ruined , to be specific to die a violent or untimely death.
So when you believe in the son that was sent ( Christ Jesus) you should NOT perish. Not be utterly destroyed or die a violent death.. NOW, beloved that is IMPORTANT!!!!! To me at least...
Everlasting Life.
To live and reign forever, infinity ( endless) and for all eternity with Christ Jesus. Yeah, I will take that one...
Have you ever thought about eternity? What will it be like? To be able to be around Christ for always. No darkness, no loneliness, no sorrow, no tears, no sickness, no death.. It will always be just perfect out, because we will be in the presence of perfection, Jesus Christ.. Oh, I don't know about you but I am longing for this place.... I can't wait to get there... I know I am going for sure too... I have made sure of that... How? Well it was pretty easy.. Want to know how??? I can tell you.... Okay, I will...
First thing you need to do is : repent of all you sins, tell Jesus how sorry you are, how you want him to be in your life, and when you do this please don't do it lightly..... This is after all eternity we are talking about..... So please be serious about it...... Then after your repent, go and get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.. Then get into a good bible believing church with a man who is filled with the Spirit of God and then you just have a relationship with Christ Jesus . YOU know how to do that already,, yes, you do... You have a relationship with friends, parents, siblings, children , ect ...right? Well Jesus is someone who is your friend, and sticks closer than a brother would... So it should be pretty easy.. and you my beloved are on your way to a eternal reward... Eternity with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ... WELCOME!!!!!!! I love having you as a brother or sister... We may not meet til we get to heaven but until then, know that I love you heart and soul..
Tenderly with arms wrapped about you... your sister in Christ Jesus... vickie
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. " John 3:16
This has been my favorite bible verse since I can remember.. I was just thinking about it again... Have you got a favorite verse that you think about ? Do you say it out loud a lot? What happens when you do? When I say mine out loud
it makes me think of things like : who is the world? Who is a whosoever? What is everlasting life , and what will it be like? So, as I was thinking about these
things today I decided I would write my thoughts and feelings on them down.. So here goes,,, you may or may not agree with me and that is okay too...
We all see things a little differently and that is okay , because we are all different..
Who is the world? Well, for one I am.... so are you... If you or I had been the only one here God would still have sent his son down here to die for our sins. How does that make you feel? Me, humble and very loved... To think that our Savior would have done that for just me! Whoa, that is some pretty heady ( intoxicating) stuff. But, wait a minute ..... He did it for YOU too.... Now, how do you feel?
His only begotten son... Our Lord Jesus Christ.
