Hello Beloved,
Today in church the pastor talked about tithing. Does your pastor tell you about tithes? It really
goes all the way back to Abraham in Genesis 14. Is it important to tithe? Well, lets look at
Malachi 3: 8-10. I think it is important. How many of us want to be blessed? How many of us are
willing to do what it takes to receive the blessings? I heard a testimony today at church from a lady
that tithes and it was so awesome to hear how God had blessed her. Sometimes the blessings we
receive are in the way we handle ourselves in a situation. That is how she was blessed and what
a testimony it was! We should allow God to use us so we can reach others and that is what this lady
did. She was a instrument that God used to show someone that God cared for them .... Wow!
In Sunday School class a man showed off his blessing from God( yes , he tithes too) and it was his
granddaughter and he told of her accomplishments in school. See God can bless you and it does not
have to be with money... Yes, sometimes it is money that you get because there is a need for it but
just because you do not get what you think you should does not mean you don't receive.
Do I think that tithing is important.. Personally, yes I do... Do I think ...you should tithe? That depends
on if you want to be blessed by God.. I figure it is all God's anyway and all he wants is 10% and you get 90% .
I have so many things running around in my head today ... Do you ever have that happen to you? Sure you do ..... Well it looks like some rain is heading our way and I really need to get started on the mowing so till next time. Please pray about tithing .. I know you only have so much money to go around but I can assure you that if you give to God what is His you will get back more than you can believe.. It has happened to me time and time again... I know it is true...
God Bless you and keep you.... If you need to receive Christ in your life.. I will be more than happy to help you right now...... Just say this prayer... Dear Lord, I know that I am a sinner.. I know I need you in my life and I know that you came and died on the cross for my sins.. Please Lord, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart... I pray your will be done. In Jesus name. Amen
O' loved ones if you prayed that pray .. please write and let me know .. and welcome to the family.
Remember to smile: it is a free gift from God for all to pass freely on...

Thinking Aloud on paper.
Hello Beloved,
I have been reading again.... I am rereading the Left Behind books. While I was washing dishes this morning I was praising God and singing songs and it hit me.... " What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?"
Have you ever read these books? They are so much better than the movies.. a lot more detailed.
While you may or may not agree with the writers, you can at least get a feel for what people may go through when the church is translated ( raptured). You should have your bible close by while reading them.... you can then check out what the scriptures say in your own bible. Just remember to pray first for understanding. What is in the books? Well, it tells you what might happen when the tribulation starts to take place.. ie.... Where will you be able to go for answers? Who will you be able to trust? How will you continue to make a living? Will you even live through the judgements that will happen? How will you keep from taking the mark of the beast? As I go through these questions and thoughts I wondered what am I doing for the kingdom of God?
Well, if you know me then you will know that I am a talker.. I love words. I no longer work in the public so I am not around many people anymore but I do like to write( I am NOT a accomplished
writer) I just pretty much write the way I talk .. right from the heart. I have been told that is not always a good thing..... but then that is who I am....
I do not know who may read this but I would like to tell you that God Loves You. IF you have not ask Him into your heart then I urge you to think strongly about it and then when you accept Him ... let someone know,,,, Me if you would... I would love to hear from you.
We all have gifts I believe that.. I believe my gift is one of love.. I can not remember a time in my life when I was not loving on people.... So that takes me back to the start.... What am I doing to tell people about the Love of God?
Well I think I am doing that right now... by writing to you and posting this on the Internet. I am letting people know that God loves them and that we are here to help each other....
We might not all go up in the rapture and we will need to have a place to go to get information so I am letting you know that if you would read your bible you have the answers right there in front of you..... I will have thoughts again and write them again ..... Just know that God Loves you and I do
too through Jesus Christ. tenderly your sister in Christ Jesus , vickie

Is the Earth Groaning?
Good Morning Beloved,
My what a dreary day it is outside, oh, but, what a warm and wonderful day it is on the inside.
While it is to cold and wet to be outside it is nice and warm and dry on the inside and that makes it a great day to spend with God and His Word..
Can I ask you something? I hope you will take time to think about your answer, okay? Have you ever really thought much about what it will be like when Jesus comes back for the saints? Have you thought about how the world will change? How will people treat each other after the saints are removed? Can you imagine for instance what it would be like to say be in a car driving down the highway and all of a sudden the person who is with you in the car/ truck is just gone? What about being in a plane and the pilot/ co-pilot is just gone and the plane starts going down? Train, subway,
a bus? What about the mess that will come if drivers are gone and the traffic just goes awry? Have you ever thought about things like that? I do..
What about the children? Where would we be without them? What about a pregnant woman about to give birth, what if her baby is just gone? Do you think these things will really ever happen?
I really think they will and soon.
Have you been watching the news about earthquakes, floods, droughts, and what about the sink holes? Do you think it is the earth groaning? Do you ever hear about the ones who are being put to death because of the Name of Jesus Christ? What about not even being able to say the Name of Jesus Christ here in our own country? People are offended when you even mention the Name of Christ Jesus. What are your thoughts on all of this? Can any of it be backed up by scriptures? Yes, I believe they can.. Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21. I think you will find answers there. I don't claim to have all the answers but I do believe what I am reading in God' Word. I see what is happening in the world.
Do you think it is important to go out and talk to people about the Love of Christ Jesus? Do you do it? Are you trying to live like Christ did, in love and forgiveness? Do you let what other people say to you or about you affect your walk with God? Do you think that the time is close at hand for the return of Christ? Do you even think of these things?
I am trying to get ready for the return of Jesus Christ. I have made so many mistakes with people, within my own thinking, in many other ways, but I am seeking and seeking to find my way to Christ.
Have I ask God into my home? yes. Have I ask Jesus Christ to come into my heart ? yes, Have I been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ? yes I have. I have the blood of Jesus applied to my life and I am so grateful for that blood.. I can't earn my way into heaven but I know there are things need to do before I get there..

Stand, Armour, Praise : Part 2
Good Morning Beloved,
I was just rereading the last post on here and something struck me. So I am going
to see if I can make sense of it okay? In the middle part of the last post it went like this.
1.) Stand fast 4.) Peace 7.) the Sword- Word of God
2.) Stand in truth 5.) Faith 8.) Stand in Garment of Praise
3.) Righteousness 6.) Salvation
Now we know that numbers mean something in scriptures.. for example:
50 = Pentecost, 12= government so now we will find out what each of the above
numbers mean in scripture..
1.) Unity 4.) Creative Works 7.) Complete
2.) Double Portion 5.) Grace 8.) New Beginning
3.) Perfect Number 6.) Man/ Rebellion
So let's put this altogether now and see if it makes sense.
1.) Stand fast, meaning we stand in Unity with God.
2.) Stand in truth meaning we receive a Double Portion. Doing right and receiving a blessing from God ...
3.) Righteousness mean God the Father. God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
4.) Peace meaning being able to be to do creative works.
5.) Faith meaning the Grace of God our Father.
6.) Salvation is for a man in rebellion from God our Father( through Jesus Christ the Son of God.
7.) The Sword- Word of God.. means it is complete.
8.) Standing in the Garment of Praise means we have a New Beginning.
So if we put it all together like this . When we stand fast we are in unity and we stand in truth receiving a double portion from a righteous Father in peace being able to do creative works in Faith which is the Grace of our God who came all the way from Glory to save us the rebellious man with the Sword, the Word of God, in a garment of Praise so we can have a New Beginning.
It makes sense to me.. I hope it does you too..

Stand, Armour, Praise
Hello Beloved,
Today I awoke with a heavy heart, knowing that I was going to go into battle today. Burdens have a way of doing that to us, sending us into battle... I know I am not alone in this fighting battles, we all do it everyday. But today as I sat down to pray about it this is what came out of my pencil. I know that someone out there besides me needs to hear this.. Please just remember this: GOD LOVES YOU.
Are you facing something that is hard to face? Do you have trouble thinking straight about it? Are you at a loss of knowing what to do? Do you feel like your all alone and that no one understands ? Well, please remember this: GOD LOVES YOU.
When you go into battle remember you need to " stand fast" Jeremiah 46: 14
Don't forget to put on your armour; The Whole Armour of God.... Ephesians 6:14-17
Stand ; with your loins girt about with truth; have on the breastplate of righteousness, your feet shod with the preparations of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation and the sword, which is the Word of God.
You are almost ready to go into battle now, but you still have one more thing to do to be ready to face what ever you are coming up against..
To remove the heaviness you feel (like I did when I awoke this morning) you need to put on the " garment of praise". Isaiah 61: 3 So now you are ready to start the day and win the battle. All you do is : stand fast, stand in truth, righteousness, peace,
faith, salvation, and carry the sword, the Word of God and while you stand , stand in that garment of praise.
In Hebrews 13:5
" I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
So no matter what the battle is you know that God is with you always.
If God be for us , who can be against us? Romans 8: 31
Stand up and praise God today and everyday: the battle is already won.
GOD LOVES YOU.
Remember: Smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

Revelation 17: Theories
Hello Beloved,
Revelation 17, this is a interesting chapter in the Word. I want to write about two
different theories and then you see which one you lean towards.
THEORY # 1
The woman on the beast; Roman Church ( this would be the first 9 verses)
The seven kings; popes, starting in 1929 when they became a sovereign government.
Eighth king; the anti-Christ
Ten horns; European Union
THEORY # 2
The woman on the beast: All types of religions , not just one.
The seven kings; Seven different empires.( ie..... Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-
Persia, and Greece ( these would be the five fallen) ( one is ) Roman Empire, ( one not yet come) anti-chirst. ( this would be the 7th who will have just a short space of time, like maybe 3 1/2 years)
Eighth king: he and # 7 will be the same one , with one difference the 8th will be indwelt with Satan.
Ten horns: European Union
Both theories I think the anti- christ is going to wage war with the Lamb of God and
the war will be won by God.
These are just a couple of theories about Revelation 17..
I don't know the answers but I will be praying about it.
The Word of God tells us to study to show yourself approved unto God.. II Timothy
2:15 . So I am and I hope you will too.
May God Bless your day and remember to Smile: it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.

URGENT! URGENT! Please read..
Hello Beloved,
Time is short... Time is short... I feel the need to tell you that Hell is real... Evil is real an d it is among us today.... I need to let you know that no matter what has gone on between us that today and everyday we need to pray for the souls of the lost... We may not always agree on things and we may have even hurt one other sometime.... Today is a day of forgiveness and moving forward... Please , if I have hurt you in anyway, with what I say or do , I am asking for your forgiveness.. I do not hold anything in my heart for you except love... So what I have to say to you right now is being said with love.
GOD is real... Heaven is real..... Love is real.... folks on the flip side of that coin is this... Satan is real .... Hell is real...... Hate is real.....
It is so easy to love the ones close to you and want only good things to happen to and for them..... that's easy...... The real trick is to love someone who has used you or hurt you or you may not even know but consider them your enemy anyway... That is the real test of love.... to pray for your enemies.... Talk to your enemies..... Tell them about the love of God..... Tell them that God loves them too...
Time is so short and we need to be about our Father's business of telling everyone we meet or know that God loves them and He wants them to be with Him...
I have just read a book called 23 minutes in Hell and you know what it scares me to think that anyone would chose to go there...
People ARE choosing to go there by not choosing to follow Christ.. It is my calling and you calling as well to let people know about the love of God....
I have made so many mistakes in my life and I will answer for them... I just want to let you know that no matter what mistakes you have made or how bad you think they are,
God still loves you and wants to be with you.... If you feel Him knocking at the door of your heart PLEASE let Him in.... No matter how bad you think it is, nothing is as bad as not knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ.... He died for ALL sinners...Yes, ALL.. People we don't know, from places we have never been. He loves us all..
Please if you need or want help in understanding this I am here... If I don't know I can always ask someone who does.... Please just answer the knock at the door of your heart and let Jesus in..... Time is so short.... PLEASE...... time is so short.
I really do love each one who reads this... I am praying for you..... Please accept Christ today.... right now...
this is a sincere letter to each of you who take time to read it....
Jesus Christ is the answer to all of your problems...
