Hello Beloved,
What is your mission / purpose in life? Well, are you a believer in Christ Jesus? Then your mission/purpose is to tell people everywhere ALL the great and wonderful things God has done for you. e
We are to encourage each other , pray for each other and we are not to be ashamed of all that God has done for us, nor should we be ashamed to tell others about it.
This Good News about God is to be shared with believers and non - believers . This Good News about God is what makes us get ready for heaven when we put our faith and trust in Christ Jesus to save us. How ? It is accomplished by faith.
Now, God also shows anger against sinful, evil men( human) who push the truth away from them. Truth about God is instinctive , God put the knowledge in their hearts. So there will be no excuse when they stand before God on judgment day.
They worship idols made by their own hands. Did things with their bodies that was unnatural . God gave them up to it because of their disobedience . Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness and sin. Greed and hate, envy, murder, fighting , lying, bitterness, and gossip. There were backbiters, haters of God, insolent ( disrespectful) , proud braggarts, disobedient to parents, breaking promises, heartless and without pity.
Fully aware of God's death penalty they went ahead and did them and also encouraged others to do them too.
This is what I got from Romans Chapter One.
Now , like me when I read it what do you see of yourself in this?
Chapter Two Romans later.

Double minded?
Hello Beloved,
I am reading a book called : Fervent" by Priscilla Shirer. It goes along with the movie she was in called " War Room".. Great movie! Well as I was reading this evening this is what I took from it.
Just how important is it to be in the Word of God every day? Are you ever tempted by your old self?
Do you ever feel like your prayers go only to the ceiling of the room your praying in? Don't we know that no temptation is harmless? That the consequences are never minimal? That sin does have consequences.
When we are not aligned with the Word of God that would be called disobedience. We should not -expect to receive from the Lord then. In James 1: 7-8 (KJV)
v7." For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." v.8 " A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." You need to change.
Sin creates separation from God. That is what the enemy is out to do to you..... separate you from God. You can not handle that alone, you need God, Jesus Christ in your life every day. That is why it is important to be in the Word of God everyday.
Christ Jesus bore your sins on the cross. ( 1 Peter2: 24-25 read it) You are to walk in the Spirit ... Galatians 5:16, read these scriptures too... 1 Corinthians 10:13; Ephesians 6:14 .
" But I have prayed for thee , that thy faith fail not: and when thou are converted , strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22: 31-32
We should all be in the Word of God everyday getting ourselves ready for His soon return..
May God Bless you and keep you. Smile: you are most beautiful when you do.

How Serious Are You?
Good Evening Beloved,
How serious are you about your prayer life? How serious are you about your family? Mom? Dad? Brother? Sister? Son? Daughter? How serious are you about your friends? What about the town you life in? Neighbors? Grocery Store? I know, how serious are you about the folks you go to church with? Your favorite eating place, job, co-workers? What about where you would like to spend your vacation? How serious are you ?
Are you asking yourself , is she serious? This is just plain silliness. Well, to me it is not silly. I pray a lot BUT, am I praying correctly? My prayers would go something like: I pray for strength and peace Lord for ............. and I ask for your will in Jesus Name. Amen. See this is a very generic type prayer, not at all specific. This is why we should pray. It is how we communicate with our Father. We need to be specific , focused , consistent and pray biblical truths, not empty words.
So, again , how serious are you about your prayers? Do you want answers to life's real problems? Then the answer is to know what truth is. For me that would be biblical truths. So to know that I need to search out what the Bible says is truth.
I will leave that for another post.
PRAY SPECIFICALLY AND WITH PRECISION. KEEP FOCUSED AND CONSISTENT WITH BIBLICAL TRUTHS. BE DILIGENT.
Remember: Smile, you are the most beautiful you can be when you smile.
God Bless !! Vickie, your sister in Christ Jesus .

You Have to Choose
Good Morning Beloved,
Sun is shinning and oh what joy that brings!!!
Have you heard about the movie " The Shack"? I went and saw it yesterday afternoon after I had read the book last week. I am going to take something from it and share it with you okay?
Have you ever judged someone? They may have hurt you deeply, made you so angry, or abused you in some way.. And , you have prayed and ask God to punish them. They were so evil in your eyes. They deserve to be judged harshly and you have done that and you want God to do it too. Has this ever happened to you? Well, it has happened to me... I have been lied to, lied about, stolen from , cheated , and have even had thoughts of hate. Yes, I have been that person who has judged and executed in my own mind the people who have in my own eyes, hurt me. Now.... it is choice time.
You are getting the chance to stand before God and He is going to give you a choice to choose who goes where. Ready?
First I want to ask you a question.. Do you have children? Do you love your children? Would you do anything you could for that child? Let's say your children were guilty of a serious crime, would you still love your children or would you turn your back on them? When it came to judging those children for their crime, how would you react to a severe and harsh judgment? Would you rather take their place and punishment? Well, right now you have a choice to make.. Which child are you going to send off for punishment? Your son or your daughter? You have to make that choice right now. You can't make the choice? Why? Oh! I see you love them both . Well, sorry you have to chose one right now. You say you still can not make that choice, but you will go in their place and take the punishment for them.
Think about that for a moment.
Isn't this what God did when He sent Jesus Christ down to die for our sins? He choose to die in our place and take our punishment. Just remember the person who may have hurt you or your loved one is still a child of God and even if they have not lived like they belong to Him , God still loves them. Will they get away with whatever they have done? No. God is Righteous and Just. We can not judge by our own standards . We will be judged by God's standard. EVERYONE will be judged by God's standard. So, we need to learn how to forgive those who have hurt or done us wrong not for their sake but for our own.
If you get a chance to read the book The Shack or go and see the movie by same title, do. It is a good read and good movie... I know it is fiction but you can still pick up some pretty interesting facts from it... God Bless and remember to Smile : it is a free gift from you to everyone you meet.

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.
