Good Morning Beloved,
I have been listening to Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin a lot lately. He was a powerful man of God. You can find videos of his teachings online. I have just watched one on prayer, and I want to share that with you.
Do you ever struggle with prayer? I do. Do you ever wonder if there is a right and wrong way to pray? I do. Well, after listening to this man, Kenneth Hagin, I feel like I can now pray more effectively. I want to share what I have just listened to and learned from him.
In Luke 11: 1 : The apostles ask Jesus to teach them to pray. In v. 2-4 is what we call " The Lord's prayer" . We all learned it as children and how to say it as a prayer, right? Well. according to Pastor Hagin it is not a prayer we should pray. It was for the disciple's of Christ Jesus. Why? Because it was not a New Testament prayer. Now this is where we start to learn and see what Pastor was talking about. Ready?
In the book of John's Gospel chapter 16: 23-24 KJV ( I hope you will get out your Bible and read along) It says that we ( you and me) are to ask the Father ( God) in my ( Jesus Christ) name. v.24 the first word in the verse is Hitherto, ( Strong Concordance # 2193 & 793 means just now) So when we know the meaning of the word it tells us that until now you have ask nothing in my name. So when we pray we are to pray to God the Father and ask in the name of Jesus Christ . There was so much more in this video but here are some of the scriptures Pastor Hagin used.
Philippians 4:6 " prayer and supplication ( earnest) with thanksgiving."
Hebrews 13:15 " sacrifice of praise continually with the fruit of our lips"
1 Timothy 2:8 " lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting "
So, we are to pray to the Father not to Jesus but we are to pray in Jesus name. In Acts 4:23 Peter went to his own company ( people of like faith) then Mark 11: 24-25 Believe when you pray that you have received and forgive all ( little things can hinder your prayers) things and praise Him for the answer. Depend on the Holy Ghost and pray in the Holy Ghost and tongues to build yourself up so you can build up others.
It was truly a eye opener for me. I thought I knew how to pray but now I will pray more effectively. Smile you are dressed in your best when you do.
In the love of Christ Jesus

Healing and the Cross: The Full Gospel
Hello Beloved,
Are you in need of healing in your life? Did you know that it is yours for the asking? Have you ever said, I have asked and prayed for but have not got the answer you ask for? Well, how did you ask?
Did you ask the way the Word of God said to ask? Healing is still real and it is still available just like it was in the time of Christ and the Apostles. If you are not hearing this in church then get out your Bible and study on your own. " Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today , and forever" ( Hebrews 13:8 )
Do you know what hinders you from receiving your healing? This is what my pastor teaches. 1.) Ignorance of Bible truths. 2.) Lack of action, confession. 3,) Do not be moved by your feelings, BUT
believe in your heart without wavering. 4.) Believe the Word of God. Know God's Word, believe in your heart, confess with your mouth and act on it. It is YOUR faith that works.
So, how big is your faith? Is it as big as the Titanic or a Cruise ship?
You received your healing on the Cross just like you received salvation. The Blood of Jesus Christ was shed for forgiveness of sins and the stripes that Christ received was for your healing. This all took place on the Cross at Calvary. Read Matthew 4:23 " Jesus went out all Galilee teaching, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing all manner of sickness and disease." This is the FULL Gospel Look at Matthew 9:35 Every sickness and disease was taken care of at the Cross.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show yourself approved. It has already been done for you on the cross. Now , it is up to you to put your faith into action. BELIEVE.
In Matthew 13:31-32 ; faith like a grain of a mustard seed. Luke 11:9 : Ask you will receive, seek you will find and knock and it will be open unto you. Study the scriptures for yourself and talk to God like He is your friend. He loves you... It is all up to you and how much faith you have.
Smile: you are dressed best when you do. In the love of Christ Jesus

Quit Blaming God !
Good Morning Beloved,
Sunshine today!!!!!!!!
Have you ever wondered or heard it said ' Why does God let bad things happen? 'Or have you ever
heard it said, ' God did this." ? Why are people so quick to blame God for ALL the bad that happens,
but, NOT give Him glory for all he good that happens? Where are these bad thoughts and doings coming from? Why is it so easy to fall into these trappings?
Let's first look at the beginning. Genesis 2:7 " And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. v.8) " And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden and put there the man whom He had formed. v. 15) And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. v.18-25) it tells how the Lord God made a help mate for man from his ribs and the two became one flesh. So, from Genesis 2 we see that the Lord God made man and gave him authority over the whole earth. Genesis 3:1-24. We see here that man fell because he disobeyed the one command of the Lord God. NOT to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Why? Because then they would die. They ( woman and man) listened to the serpent ( the devil, the father of lies) and ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and that is where the authority that had been given to man by the Lord God was handed over to the serpent( the devil, father of lies). So man was no longer in charge, the serpent was. Genesis 3:22-23 " The Lord God said " Behold the man is become as one of us to know good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: v.23 ) Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken." You can not go backward-- you have to now go to the cross. Man did this not God. So when bad things happen and you want to blame someone -- blame the serpent. He is the one in charge here now because man gave him the authority,
When Christ Jesus died on the cross for your sins and you invite Him into your heart then you put Christ Jesus back in charge . Now you just have to have faith and believe in Him and obey the Word. It is just that simple.. If you want to invite Jesus Christ into your heart just talk to Him and repent of your sins.. If you need help I am here.
Smile: this is you at your most beautiful. In the love of Christ Jesus , vickie

Final Destination
Good Morning Beloved,
What if today was your last day to live? What would you want to do? Would you want to
go out and live it up? Get married? Divorced? Money to blow on expensive things? Car? House? Clothes? Go to a exotic place? Or maybe you might want to repair a relationship? Right a wrong? Maybe you would want to spend time with your loved ones for a last hug and goodbye?
Have you thought about where your final destination will be? Heaven or Hell? Do you think that it is important to know before hand where your final destination will be?
If you are not sure , why not make that decision today, so you can be certain of where you will go?
It is easy and only take a few minutes.. It is really so easy to do.. All you have to do is repent.
repent: to be sorry; to turn back; to regret; to reconsider
Just ask the Lord God to come into your heart. Tell Him you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you of all of your sins and that you want to change . Then peace like you have never known will come into your heart . Let today be the day of knowing where your final destination is going to be..
God is Love and in John 3:16 it says He so loved the world that whosoever.... make today the day you become the whosoever.. John 3:5 says " except you be born of the water and the Spirit, you cannot enter into the kingdom of God.. Where do you want to spend your final destination at? Heaven or Lake of Fire? It is your choice, and by not choosing , you have chosen. Please make your choice today!!
I tell you this in the Love of Christ Jesus our Savior.
Smile: you are most beautiful when you do.

Are You On Your Way To Heaven?
Good Morning Beloved,
Are you on your way to heaven? Can just anyone go? What are the qualifications? Let's take a look in scriptures to see the answers. Yes, anyone can go IF they do what the Word of God says. Look at Matthew 7: 13-14: "Enter ye at the strait gate: for wide is the gate , and broad is the way , that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: v.14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Now, lets take a look at John 3:1-21: v. 3: " Verily, verily, ( double truth) I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God." v. 5: Verily, verily, ( double truth) I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." So, we have here the qualifications to enter into heaven, which is the kingdom of God. You need to walk through a narrow gate and be born again of water ( baptized) and of the Spirit ( Holy Spirit). Acts 2:38; Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." How often should one repent of their sins? Well, lets see what the Apostle Paul said in
1 Corinthians 15:31: " I die daily"
Time is upon us now to do the works of the Lord .. If you have been baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit and have fallen away from the Lord God then NOW is your chance to reconfirm your commitment to God. If you are a backslider or a causal Christian, please make a re commitment to follow Our Lord Jesus Christ today. Repent of your sins and be filled with the Holy Spirit, get out of the world and self and make your calling sure.( 1 Peter 1:10) DO NOT WAIT !!! " But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angles which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13:32 DO NOT WAIT …. Recommit NOW.

New Jerusalem. How Far is 1500 miles?
Good Morning Beloved,
Not sure if anyone will even read this but here goes, How big will the city of New Jerusalem be?
In Revelation 21:16 ( NASB) says it is laid out in a square, width, height, and length at about 1500 miles. The NIV says about 1400 miles .. I say that either way that is going to be a GREAT city!! So , I wanted to find out how big that city was in something I could understand. So got out a map and started in Indianapolis and went Saltillo, , Mexico ( appox) 1515 miles and from Indianapolis to Reynosa , Mexico (appx)1400 miles ( 1328.8) Now you must remember this is going to be ONE Great city.
It will be 1400/1500, miles deep, wide and high. Don't know about you but that is something I find hard to wrap my mind around.. How many people are in this area today? How many states are involved and ANOTHER country? It just boggled my poor itty bitty mind. So just wanted to have someone else thinking about it today too. Thanks for reading!!( if anyone ever does)
Jesus Christ is going to be coming soon. How soon ? For some it could be today, It is all in His time now ours. We are just to be ready when ever He comes.. So please make your calling sure TODAY! ( you know , just in case) God loves you and I love you with a God kinda love too! Smile when you do you are dressed in your best.

Words Are Powerful
Good Morning Beloved,
Powerful is the words we speak, do you agree?
"out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Matthew 12:34'
Do you know you can speak life or death into your own body? That when you say something
like " I am getting the flu" or I am sick with cold, sore throat, infection, or whatever; you have
established the enemy's word instead of God's Word.
1 Peter 2:24 ( KJV) " Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness : by whose strips ye (you) WERE healed." Not going to be healed but WERE healed. It took place on the cross 2000 years ago!!
Do you know that Satan is limited to what you say? The words you speak out of your own mouth!
So when you speak anything but God's Word you are establishing the enemy's word..
When you are asked to pray for someone , DO NOT pray your words but DO pray God's Words over them. Remember Matthew 13:34 " out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."
What you believe comes out of your mouth.
Look at 2 Corinthians 4:13 and then look up Proverbs 6:2.
You don't want to be sick or you would not ask for prayer, right? Well, just remember to speak God's
Word and not the enemy's. Speak life not death..
I am writing this to myself today.. I am reading a book by Charles Capp and it is called ' The Tongue, A creative force. and this is what I read this morning.
I am still in the learning stages of my walk with Christ Jesus and I am grateful for insights I get from reading the Word and listening to others who have been in this for a long time...
God Bless you all tonight and remember to smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet. your sister in Christ Jesus
