“I believe this is the most important blog I’ve written to date. I ask you to try to read it all and take it to heart. Please share it with someone. Thanks”

Revelation 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”

We hear this phrase a lot…”The Holiness of God”. Just what is that?

Holy is who God is! He is Holy, Holy, Holy! It’s His greatest attribute!!! It’s the essence of His character! It’s what makes Him a just God over all human beings. It’s the first thing a new Christian recognizes about Him. It’s by what everything we do is judged by! It’s the reason for the cross! It’s the reason Lucifer and those angels were kicked out of heaven. There is no getting around the Holiness of God! Nothing can bend it or escape it.

Godholiness…you cannot separate those words from each other! If God were not holy you would truly be scared to death of Him and rightly so! Anything unfairly could happen to you. But God is Holy so everything that happens to you is perfect, without error, just and pure. We should never be afraid in our relationship with Him…because our God is….Very Very Very Very Very VERY VERY VERY…….HOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holiness means to me being perfect, pure, having no error, can’t tolerate any sin, totally just and righteous, containing no darkness and reflecting pure light.

God is a Supreme being and there is no other perfect, without sin, Omnipresent, Immutable, Omniscience, Righteous, Unique, Sacred, Majestic, Glorious, Self-existing/Eternal, Sovereign, and Omnipotent being like Him anywhere. Never was and never will be! This is the Holiness of God and also the attributes of His nature! There is no other being that knows the past, present and future.

No other being can be everywhere at the same time. God knows every thought of every person all at the same time. He knows how many hairs that is on everyone’s head at the same time. He can create universes and He can create any kind of living thing. He never changes. He is self-governing, independent and has supreme authority. The power that He has is unlimited. Our minds just can’t comprehend the level of awesomeness this super powerful being has. This alone should push you over the edge in your thinking about His greatness. God doesn’t lie, He doesn’t sin, He doesn’t do wrong, He is perfect, He is just, and he is totally righteous!

Job 11:7 “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

In order to understand the Holiness of God you have to figure out who He is. You do this by studying the bible, praying a lot, going through hard trials and asking the Holy Spirit to help you and He will. It takes years to really understand who God is because part of the finding out is experiencing Him over time.

I can say that after years of walking with the Lord and learning to trust Him… I feel I know Him. You know how I know Him now? I know Him because I hardly cry anymore when I go through hard times. I’ve learned not to cry but to pray!!!!! In my mind I know now that God is my Father and has planned everything for my life. I do what the bible says to do when the hard trials come… which is to come boldly to Him and ask for His help. I know my Father God will ALWAYS be there for me! I cast everything over to Him. It still hurts when I go through the trials. I am human after all! I pray and wait for my Father to work it out for me as HE sees fit. I’m 60 years old now and God has never failed me!

Another thing you have to do when trying to understand the Holiness of God is… “YOU HAVE TO MEDITATE ON WHO HE IS!!!!!!!” You have to meditate on this beautiful planet, His design of it, the creatures on it, these bodies we have which is amazing. You have to mediate on this universe…the sky, the moon the sun and the planets. You have to meditate on the scriptures. You have to meditate on the past miracle in your life and other supernatural things that you know it could have only been God.

Another thing you have to do is… you have to seek Him and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. I can tell you He will go out of His way to reveal Himself to you. The more you know about our Father the more you will begin to absorb His holiness into your spirit. It has to be slowly absorbed because you just can’t take in His Holiness all at once. It will be too much to comprehend.

You also have to be clean…sanctified before Him. If you are sinning….REPENT and ask for forgiveness. Why should you do this? Because God is Holy so HE won’t be able to fellowship with you until you are washed clean.

Understanding His Holiness changes you. It develops in you a healthy fear of God. Understanding Gods Holiness helps you understand why the crucifixion and resurrection was necessary. It makes you grateful to Jesus and thankful to God.

2 Corinthian 5:11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.

If we really understood the Holiness of God we would act better than we do. We would want to please this powerful Holy being that adopted us into His family. Just thinking about the Holiness of God and that we have Gods Holy Spirit living inside of us is very encouraging and exciting. But we don’t walk around thinking….holiness 24/7…but we should. We should be holy because God told us to do so. In doing so we would be like our Father God. I’m ashamed that I don’t act more holy. I want to but this human nature just gets in my way sometimes. Everyday I strive to live a holy life. It brings me to my knees a lot. I ask the Lord to search me…search my heart. I need to be in a right place with God because I’m a prayer intercessor and I have many personal needs also. I know I can’t get in Gods face with sin hanging off of me.

So I check myself and repent for all wrong….and then I approach the Lord. I want and need to live a holy life!!

Leviticus 19:2 Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.

I thank God for His word and the Holy Spirit that lets me know when I’m not acting holy. I want to be like my Father. He is Holy!!! When you think about the Seraphim’s that cry out about how Holy God is all day and all night… you say to yourself…why does God want that said to Him all day and night? When we think something like that… it’s because we don’t fully understand the Holiness of God and that understanding won’t fully come until we get to heaven. So what do we do now? Well I mentioned a few things above and I pray it will lead you into a further understanding of God’s holiness.

Let’s respect our God. Let’s respect His Holiness. Press every single day and dwell on the holiness of God. The result is a personal revival and an intense deepening relationship with Father God. Everything in our lives should point to our Holy Father God. Jesus tried to explain this to the disciples when He was here. There is no other like our Holy God…HE is the I Am, the Alpha and Omega. He’s a powerful, all knowing, all seeing, wise and very Holy God.

God is separated from anybody else in the whole universe because there is no other like Him anywhere. There is no evil in Him, no darkness and He cannot look upon sin. Not one drop of sin or anything corrupt. There isn’t anything to compare God with. He is untouchable! He is pure light…there’s no darkness in Him whatsoever!!!

God cannot deal with sin…so if you have original sin (Adam and Eve’s sinning thing) He cannot touch you or come near you. You must repent and confess your sin and deal with it by asking Jesus Christ to forgive you and then believe in Jesus. Then and only then will God be able to have a relationship with you! You still will sin which can block your blessing from God….but thanks to Jesus Christ death and resurrection…you can be forgiven those sins by asking His forgiveness and be washed cleaned so your relationship with our Holy Father God won’t be put on pause and the blessings and relationship can flow once again.

2 Corinthians 5:11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.

Why could this sin thing be a problem? Because God cannot deal with sin….why? Because He is…..HOLY! Jesus is the ONLY ONLY way for a human being to become a friend of God. Jesus is the only way to God! The bible is very clear on this. We humans need a Savior and God Himself sent His only Son. God had to look away from His precious Son to the point that Jesus cried out to God not to forsake Him…which had to be horrible for Jesus!! The agony Jesus went through…no not just the horrendous crucifixion…but the terror of seeing and bearing all of our nasty, disgusting, vile, horrific and stinking sin. One of the things that really hurt me about the savage things Jesus went through was when I read that they slapped Him. That hurt me so bad because I know how Holy God is and Jesus is God and they slapped my Holy God!! How insulting to His Holiness. This is why Jesus said they don’t know what they are doing… slapping a Holy God who came to save them. Oh my Holy God!…Oh my precious Jesus! If they only understood about His Holiness. If Jesus were to come here again there would be those who would slap Him again.

In our heart and mind we should be bowed down in a state of constant worship to our God. I have had many moment recently… where I can be driving the car or sitting in church or a doctors office… and my eyes will well up with tears when my mind thinks about my Holy Father God. When I sing my solos in church I want to just sing my heart right out of my chest and bow before my Holy God. Everybody I know or have come into contact with knows how much I love God. I try to live right so others can see God in me and follow Christ. That’s why I want to live a Holy life. Holiness is the way to be because it reflects who my Father is. My God is a very very very Holy God. He is so pure, and so perfect. I come before Him with a very humble heart. I can come to this very Holy God only because of His love for me and because His only Son Jesus Christ came right down here to earth to make this relationship so intimate and possible. Can you imagine this very Holy God having such a close and personal relationship with something that He created. Oh how He loves me… and you. This week and really for the rest of your life here on earth…can you dwell/meditate on the Holiness of God? Let’s pray that the saved and unsaved will get this and that they too will be changed. Understanding the Holiness of God will be life changing!!

Habakkuk 1:13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. This is the Holiness of God for sure! Sin is an offense to my God!!

Message for today: This is my mother way….my personal understanding and expression of the Holiness of God. I would have said it this way to my kids and their friends ( and I have!)…..

God Don't Play!! With you and your sinning! Repent today. Ask for forgiveness..

Sin! He doesn’t like sin/evil! God Don’t Play!! Repent today. Ask for forgiveness..

“God don’t play!!!” He’ll give you an adjustment for ya sinfulness! Ya betta wake up and recognize about who He is. He ain’t playin’ wit you!!!!! He’s not gonna put up wit ya’ mess! Ya’ betta check yourself before you reck yourself! Ya’ betta get on your knees and ask for mercy and then you need to fly right. God ain’t play wit you! He bought ya’ into this world and He can take ya’ out! Let me break it down to ya this way….God is Holy and He don’t take no mess from anyone.

Get your mess straight wit God… so that everything will be cool with you and Him. Jesus Christ!….Yes that name you like to toss around a lot and it’s the only name that can make things cool wit you and God. If you don’t make it cool with you and God… things will get very hot for ya’ in the future! Time is running out! Ya’ betta act now! I’m telling ya…”God ….don’t ….play!!!! For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 NIV (No slang there…just TRUTH!)

God is sticking it to me and you

March 11, 2013

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Thorns 1 Comment

Oh those thorns! They hurt! What are thorns? Thorns are sharp woody spiny pieces that stick out of a bush. They can cause pain, irritation, soreness and can be extremely uncomfortable if it‘s not removed from ones skin.

Yes God is sticking it to us Christians! Why? Because God loves us and has our best interest at heart….let me explain.

The apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:7:

⁷even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

God was protecting the integrity of Paul so that he wouldn’t think more of himself than he should. It’s a big risk when anyone is given a lot of power, authority, anointing and gifts. I believe one is never 100% sure of how they would act until given such power. Since God knows us better than we know ourselves…He kinda gave us an insurance policy so we are covered if we act out….you know…start believing our own press….thinkin’ we’re high and mighty because of our “gifts and anointing from the Lord.

I tell you…the last thing I would want to do is to take some of God’s glory…but I am vulnerable just like everyone else and I know it. I have felt it…to be honest here. That’s why I have learned to be so very thankful for the thorns. I don’t enjoy them at all. They are very painful at times and having them daily as I do is a pain but necessary and I am finding out why. God has been using me as I have made myself available to Him for service and I find the thorns very useful.

The thorns remind that:

1. I am Gods child and not His buddy, best friend or assistant.

2. That I have no strength on my own.

3. I’m flesh and blood.

4. I need the Lord in every area of my life

5. I can do nothing unless He says so.

6. Helps me to keep my place.

7. Keeps me prayerful.

8. Helps me to focus on God.

9. Keeps me from straying off track.

10. Brings Gods word to my mind.

11. Helps the Holy Spirit to get my attention.

12. Keeps me humble!!!

The reason that I know it’s hard to remain humble is because satan who had it so good started with that thinking conceited and where did it get him? Yeah you know…kicked right out of heaven! He thought he was all that and a bag of chips. If I ever start to think I’m those chips…I want God to step on that bag!!!! Thus…we have the…thorns!! That is God taking His big Holy foot and……well you get the picture.

This is what the bible said happened to satan aka lucifer:

Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning ! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

I know you don’t like those thorns and neither do I….but I’ve come to appreciate them more and more. The more God uses me…the more I need the thorns.

Three benefits that give me encouragement about the thorns is:

Being able to receive the Grace of God
Seeing how my God sustains me through suffering
The security in knowing I will have a hard time ever trying to exalt myself over God because of His fail safe system. (A fail- safe device is one that, in the event of failure, responds in a way that will cause no harm)

Message for today: Yes God is sticking it to you and you betta’ be really glad…Hello!

I’m going to kill myself!!

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Depression, healed, Isaiah 26:3, peace of mind, sadness, suicide 111 Comments

Yup!…that’s what I use to think every day for many years from about 1962-1982!! Thank God I’m still here and here’s my story:

I am going to share something today that the Lord told me yesterday to share with you. It’s very very personal and I have not told this publicly in detail like this before. It’s very hard for me to relive this and share this story. I’m sure the Lord has His purpose for this, and I pray that it will be a blessing to someone who needs to hear it.

For the first 32 years of my life (I’m 60 years old now) I felt very unhappy and sad inside. By the time I was 12 years old… all I thought about was that I was a mistake to have been born. I hurt inside and I didn’t want to be here on this earth anymore. My first suicide attempt was when I was about 12 years old… I took a bunch of my allergy pills. The next morning, I was shocked and sad to wake up and still be alive.

I noticed people didn’t really like me and I surely didn’t like myself at all. I felt the 2 people who were supposed to love and like me didn’t. When I was 18, I tried to go to college and failed. I tried to keep a job…failed. Everything I did in my life was a failure. I didn’t know it at the time, but I had and still have a learning disability and chronic illnesses which I know contributed to my situation.

I was a married woman with 3 daughter’s ages from 1 to 8 and I was suffering from major depression every day. My sadness was unshakeable. I cried off and on all day every day. I also suffered with extreme chronic fatigue. My husband was so patient and kind and understanding and stood by my side through all of this. I thank God for Him!

A few years went by, and I managed to raise my girls. They never knew these things about me when they were little. I was super mom to them. There were lots of days I had no energy and I thank my mom for taking them to the park several times a week. There were other friends who would treat my kids to special outings or take them for a few days. My depression and suicidal thoughts were starting to get much worse.

Then the worst event happened. This one day…I was so depressed that I just wanted out of the internal pain. I felt very very HOPELESS. I was not a committed Christian although I had gotten saved watching Billy Graham as a child, and I did love God very much…but I was not committed to Him.

I was crying all day long. While two of my girls were in school, I decided to kill myself. I wasn’t thinking clearly at all. I put my 3-year-old daughter down for her afternoon nap and I then went into the kitchen and got a long kitchen knife. I turned it backwards and started to stick it in my chest so that it would go through my heart which was hurting so bad. As I pushed it into my skin, my 3-year-old daughter tapped me on my leg and said “mommy”. I dropped the knife and picked her up hugged her and cried.

I never heard her come down the stairs and walk up on me. This is what happens when suicidal thoughts come. Negative thoughts come in your mind and takes it over. These thoughts try to get you to harm yourself. You feel totally hopeless! You feel as if nobody in the world understands your despair. You are in a TRANCE. Reality is blocked from your mind! All you can see, and feel is the pain and nothing else around you. You don’t even realize what you’re about to do! You don’t even care if it’s going to hurt! I called my husband at work, and he rushed right home. That day I knew I needed emergency help. I had gotten counseling before, and it didn’t help…so this time I decided to sign myself into a mental institution.

That was one of the darkest days of my life!!!!! I left my 3 beautiful girls and signed my life away for a month to try to get the help that I needed. Let me tell you…it was a total shock to me. When I got there, I thought I was really crazy, and I was very embarrassed!! When they take you in, they take away everything you have. They have to check you out for marks so that no one can say they injured you. I was in the suicide watch unit, so I was being monitored 24 hours a day. I was just so embarrassed to be there, but I knew that I needed to be because I was going to take my life in the worst way. After counseling, therapy and weeks in the hospital I was released. When I got home, I was no better!!

A thought came to my mind of the only person that I thought might be able to help me. Someone tried to tell me about Jesus a few years before and had basically beaten me over the head with the bible. They did give me a bible to keep. I had a talk with God and told Him that if He didn’t help me out that I was not going to be here because I was going to check out of here on my own. I cried really hard as I felt I was at my total end. I opened the bible and it opened to Psalms 86. I read and cried and reread it and cried. My tears fell on that page and soaked that bible. And then something incredible happened to me. I was healed of depression at that moment but didn’t know it then. Let me explain this.

I had always been a crafty person, and someone had given me a dozen of silk roses when I was in the hospital. I cut them up and made corsages out of them and sold them all. Then I bought more flowers and books on floral design and made many more floral arrangements. Then a friend asked me to make the flowers for her wedding and I did that. I started making floral arrangements and selling them. On the weekends my husband, our kids and I would sell at the craft fairs. Before I knew it the depression was almost gone. And then, the best thing that EVER happen to me happened….I became a committed Christian. I gave myself over to the Lord 100%!!!! My family and I joined a wonderful church and learned about God…we were nurtured by loving Christian people.

Guess what? I was completely healed from depression!!!!! No more internal pain….No more hopelessness! No more hating myself! No more confusion in my mind…I finally HAD PEACE!!!! I finally have peace!

I want to tell you that today 2013….I am happy!!!! I am so happy!!!! I know the purpose for my life!…I feel God’s love for me!….and I know where I’m going when I transition from this earth!!!! I get God’s mercies new EVERY morning when I wake up…I get peace for my mind….I get grace to see me through EVERY situation that I face….and I have hope!!!! I have Jesus Christ to thank for this! Many of you who follow my blog know how much I love the Lord because I say it often. This testimony is one of the reasons why I love Him so much.

I just want to say here that God deals with us as individuals and may use a different method to help you. You may need counseling and medication for a time, or He might do something different with you. I know that asking God for help was the answer that changed my life.

God told me that I was always knocking on the door of hell trying to get in and He had to keep sending the angels after me every time I tried to kill myself. I thank God that I am in my right mind today!!!! What a miracle!!! I love this mighty and powerful supernatural being…I love my God…He’s My Father in Heaven and I worship the ground He walks on!!!!!!

Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.

John 14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

1John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.

This is me Tanya Nemley healed by the Grace of God!

I’m finally Happy. It took many many years!

A PRAYER FOR ANYONE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION RIGHT NOW…….

Father God…the person reading this right now is in need of your help. God…they are feeling very sad and hopeless. It seems there’s no sunny days for them and they have tried so many different things for help. I pray that through their sadness that they will call on you for help.

I ask you to send help to every person who is seeking you for peace in their mind. It’s so hard for them to cope but it’s not hard for you to heal. Lord…hear their cry and dry their tears. Heal their hurting heart. Give them a peaceful sleep tonight. Let them feel your love. Cover them with your grace. Thank you, God, for healing me when I cried out to you for help. Thank you in advance for the healing people who read this prayer. I ask these things in Jesus’ name…Amen.

Please…Hang in there!!!! OK?

10 Reasons why I have the best husband

February 14, 2013

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Love, Proverbs 20:6-7, Valentines Day 4 Comments

10 reasons why I love my husband

Because he loves me.
He’s the father of my 6 beautiful children
He accepts me for me
Even when I had my breast removed he never blinked an eye
He is patient with my crazy self
He’s very gentle with me
Put’s up with my nagging at times (I don’t do this much after 38 yrs of marriage..right Jim?…Right?)
He knows me like a book
He has the BEST voice! ( Gotta love that bass!)
I saved the best reason for last…HE IS A TRUE MAN OF GOD!!!!!!!!!

Proverbs 20: 6-7 Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find? 7 The righteous man leads a blameless life; blessed are his children after him.

James A. Nemley 1953- He’s still with me baby!! LOL!

You have…”Another Comforter”!!

February 7, 2013

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer comforter, John 14:16 3 Comments

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

JESUS is everything to us! He is our friend, our advocate, helper, counselor, lover, companion, keeper, master, strength, encourager, burden bearer, and our protector. He was that for the disciples and he had to eventually leave them… but He told them something that the Holy Spirit wants me to share with you today….

He gave the disciples and us………”ANOTHER COMFORTER”!!!!!!!!

We have another comforter and Jesus. We have the Holy spirit living inside of us and we have Jesus. And God said He would love us, and they ( God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) will come to us and make their home with anyone who would love them and obey them.

Jesus is a comfort!!! Do you have Jesus? Then you have also another comforter in addition to Jesus. That other comfort is the Holy Spirit!

In Jesus there is power in His name. The Holy spirit is power. God is powerful. All of this power is directed at us and is in us and through us. We are NOT alone in this life.

Remember my New Year’s message said that this is a year to remember God’s promises? He promised another comforter. He didn’t lie…recieve Him…trust Him…look for Him…walk with Him!

Message for today: You are not alone…know that!

Remembering about…. the RAPTURE?

February 5, 2013

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, Christ return, The RAPTURE 4 Comments

Rapture meaning (Wikipedia) – The Rapture is a term in Christian eschatology which refers to the “being caught up” discussed in Thessalonians 4:17, when the “dead in Christ” and “we who are alive and remain” will be “caught up in the clouds” to meet “the Lord in the air”

Thessalonians 4:13-18 NIV

¹³Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. ¹⁴For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. ¹⁵According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁶For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸Therefore encourage one another with these words.

I had the most beautiful vision of Christ return many years ago. Jesus IS coming back for us! He is going to return back to earth and the dead in Christ are going to rise out of their graves where ever that may be and then the Christians who are alive will leave this earth too and meet up with Jesus in the air. How great is that? We will all be snatched up from this earth to our meet Bridegroom Jesus. I think about this all the time. It is a beautiful thing to meditate on.

This is not a fairytale or a myth…this is a FACT! This will happen to us. By us… I’m only talking about 1 group of people. This can only happen if you are a child of God…a born again Christian…you are saved…you believe in and confess that Jesus Christ the Son of God is your Savior. There is no other way to be raptured or enter into heaven upon your death. This is what the bible says…which is God’s own words.

Every day I think about being with Jesus. Every day I think about my eternal home. Every day I think that this is not my home and I’m only here for a short time. Every day I thank Jesus for making this all possible. Every day I tell myself…”girl you can make it” and I keep pressing on because I want to endure to the end to be with Jesus. Every day I think about how I can get others to hear and believe the good news about Jesus so that they too can be raptured or go to heaven if they die.

Jesus is coming back for us any second now and we need to be thinking about the love of our life. Is Jesus the Love of your life? Is he the lover of your soul? Do you lie away at night just thinking about Him? Have you ever looked at a cloud in the sky and think to yourself…”what if it opens up and I see my Jesus? Do you ponder about the rapture? Do you really understand what it is? This is a very important event to look forward to for those of us who are Christians. To think about this soon coming event can bring you so much joy in your spirit.

Do you know that Jesus has prepared so much for you? He came to earth and died for you so that you will have eternal life and to give you a blessed life while here on earth. He has prepared a mansion for you in His Father’s house so you will have a place there. He is waiting for you to get there. He is going to come back to earth and pull you up from it into His presence to be with Him! Why? Because He loves you so so so much!! He is doing this because you belong to God! You’re adopted into the family of God. You were created in God’s image. You are His! You said yes when the Holy Spirit of God spoke to you! So you have been invited to the wedding and have already sent in your RSVP when you said yes to the Lord!!

So after reading this and having renewed thoughts of the rapture…ask you excited? Is the thought of being raptured making you feel like you can go on….like you can make it…like you are loved? Jesus will be waiting for us with open arms and nothing down here on earth will matter anymore when we are with our beloved!!

Message for today: The rapture is not a fairytale….it will happen and you and I and all our brothers and sisters in Christ will be there. Are you looking forward to this?

My Prayer for Children

A Prayer for Children

Oh God…My Lord…the children!

Our children are such a target for the enemy

Oh my God…such little ones are being harmed by the one who hides in the dark

Our babies….our munchkins…our little buddies…our child …our teen

We try to protect them as best as we can

We have to let go when they go to daycare…we have to let go when they get on the school bus

We try to be there as much as we can but still they are targets

Oh God…my Lord …the Children!

Some have no one who will watch over them

Some have been forsaken by those who were chosen to care for them

Where is that mother? Where is that father? Where are their caretakers? Where are their families?

Oh… their lonely little souls.

So many children have left the land of the living

Some slipped away…some were silenced…some left quietly

All will be sorely missed

Oh God…my Lord… the Children!

But then I think of how much you love the children

I think…God knows what He’s doing

I don’t lean on my own understanding of things that have happened…nobody can figure out the why

Oh God…my Lord…the Children

I know the little ones who sleep… are with you

They have found rest and safety in your arms

Even right now they are experiencing your awesome love.

Oh God…thank you for allowing them to be with you!

Oh God…what will become of the children here on earth?

Who will help them? Who will watch over them?

You said to do what? OK…I will…I will continue to pray for the children!

Oh God…My Lord…the Children….help them…In Jesus name I pray! Amen.

Written by Tanya Nemley

Psalms 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. KJV

Mark 10:14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. NLT

Today I am in prayer for the children that are on this earth right now…and for those who are about to come here. The song says that “I believe that Children are our future… teach them well and let them lead the way”. Many of our children have issues….they are influenced by others, by music, they have been from divorced parent homes, many are sick from cancer, diabetes and many other illness, many come from poverty many have been push around, abused or bullied, some are molested…raped or beaten, some are used as child labor or sex slaves and the list goes on and on.

When it comes to children…it seems to put people in a special area of concern because they are so vulnerable and innocent. This may sound quite simple but…children everywhere truly need our ongoing prayer. Not only do they need our prayer….but they need us to help them in some way…whether it’s our own children/grandchildren or someone else’s. We should find some way to invest in our children. Make a donation to a youth group if you can’t physically do something.

Thank you for listening to my hearts cry today.

Ain’t no reason ta be scared of death!

January 27, 2013

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Death. Dying, Homegoing, lord and savior, Philippians 1:22-23, religion, spirituality 8 Comments

Philippians 1:22-23 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

There isn’t any reason for you to be scared of death if you’re a child of God and a born again Christian. In fact we should look forward to it…I do! I can’t wait to meet the lover of my soul….the one who died for me. I can’t wait to see my heavenly Father who loves me so much. Paul in the bible said it is far better to be with Christ! To be home with our Lord who has prepared a place for us… is so exciting!!!

Ain’t no reason ta be scared of death!

Last Friday I watched the homegoing service for Francis McClurkin (The mother of gospel singer Donnie McClurkin) and I could tell that she is going to sorely missed…but there was great joy because her loved ones know where she is. My wonderful mom made her transition …it will be 2 years February 10^th. At first it hurt a lot when she left because we all missed her. My mom suffered greatly and I’m so glad she is pain-free right now. I’m so glad she is getting all the love and care from Her Lord and Savior.

Ain’t no reason ta be scared of death!

I’ve told my husband and my children that I want a true homegoing service with balloons and no flowers. I want a party, happiness, joy and excitement. I can’t wait to see my wonderful Savior. I love Him so so much and I’ve been trying to tell everybody about Him and I’m very excited to see God face to face. I want one of those New Orleans homegoings.

Ain’t no reason ta be scared of death!

I think that it will be an odd feeling when you know that you’re about to make the transition… whether it happens quickly or over a period of time…but I do know that the Holy Spirit will be with you at that time and He will help you in those very last moments. If fact any time you are facing any kind of trouble in your life….GOD IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!! I believe He will even closer to you in the end and I’ve seen this in people who are getting ready for the transition. They have calmness and a peace. They want you to let them go because they can feel the love of God and it’s drawing them close to His side. The things of earth grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.

Ain’t no reason ta be scared of death!

While I’m still here on this earth…I want to be in a state of…. “Fruitful labor”! Doing everything I can to spread the good news of Jesus Christ so that others will have no reason to be scared to die. While I’m waiting to make my transition…. I am going to enjoy my time with my husband, children, granddaughter, family and friends. I’m going to walk with God everyday and build on my relationship with Him.

Message for today: Ain’t no reason ta be scared of death… not at all!!! (Unless you are not saved…born again…accepted and believe in Jesus Christ… I pray you are not…scared to death)

Promises were made to you about 3458 yrs ago

Psalms 145: 9-14

The Lord is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
¹⁰All your works praise you, Lord;
your faithful people extol you.
¹¹They tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
¹²so that all people may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
¹³Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
and faithful in all he does,
¹⁴The Lord upholds all who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.

Do you remember in my New Year’s blog January 1, 2013… that I said this is the year to really know and trust in the PROMISES of God? I just want to remind you of this. I know many people have already had challenges in these past few weeks. The word of God says that He (God) is TRUSTWORTHY!!!! He is FAITHFUL!!!!

If you’re a Christian…your life is already planned out for you. God has already taken care of you. Your biggest blessing is that no matter what happens to you…you WILL be OK because Jesus has already won the battle for you. You have all the help you’re going to need down here on earth and eternal life is already yours and you will have a perfect life after you make your transition from this life. Everything for us is all good no matter what goes on down here.

This doesn’t mean we are going to enjoy every moment down here. But we should be comforted in knowing what the above scriptures say about what’s promised to us as God’s children is true and trustworthy. We should not be walking around in fear…but we should be walking around in faith… faith in a wonder supernatural loving God who adopted us into His very own supernatural family! (Just want to add this note here…we need to live right…walk with the Lord…pray… and study His word)

So as you face your day today…let’s remember this…God has made promises for you to have a blessed life….walk in that blessing…relax…put your shoulders down….take a deep breath…put your mind on God…His promises…His love for you…the angels that are standing beside you right now, watching over you…the goodness and mercy that are following you…and the Holy Spirit that is inside of your physical body providing all your spiritual needs, support, and comfort.

Message for today: You are blessed!

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

FYI ********The bible was written in about 1,445BC…add that number to 2013AD And you get 3,458 years. In reality God had these promises to us in His mind….forever!
