a christmas prayer

 

 

Dear God,

 On this day December 25th we celebrate the day your only Son was born…but God…this is a blessing I think about daily.  I’m soooooo grateful that you loved me your creation…that you wanted me to be your child.  That you wanted to remove that awful original sin from me…. That you wanted me to be your friend….and you did all of this because…..YOU LOVE ME!  God…every time I think about this love it makes me want to weep.  My eyes are watering right now as I’m writing this. 

God…you rescued me…your Son saved me!  Although everyday is Christmas and everyday is Easter for me….I take a little extra time to meditate on your goodness today and to celebrate that day Jesus made His personal appearance on earth as my Savior and was Emanuel.  I will celebrate this wonderful day with my family you gave me and we will Glorify your name together.

Jesus…we may not know the exact day of your birth…but we’ve carved out this day to praise your name and to say… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  We all love you so much! 

Father God…my birthday prayer is….for others to know and believe in your precious Son Jesus.  In His name Amen

For God so loved
the world that he gave
his one and only Son,
that whoever believes
in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Message for today:  You are soooo loved!!!!!

Has all HELL broken loose?

all hell breaking loose

Jesus has overcome this!!!!

Well yes and no.  Evil is increasing but God will not let all hell destroy the earth…His children are here.

I have some things I feel the Lord has put on my heart to share after these bible verses…so please check this out after you read these precious scriptures.

Here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.

 14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”

20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

 10 You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:11-2 Timothy 3:1-16)

I haven’t watched much news lately. I’m very sensitive because I’m a prayer intercessor and things affect me very deeply. I pray for those affected by grief and tragic events every day. The Sandy hurricane…I lived through myself and still see my neighbors so affected from its devastation. It seems as if hell has broken loose all over the place. The bible says that… There will be terrible times in the last days…and… In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! Jesus has overcome the world.”

The cause of all of evil as I have said in my last blog is satan and his demonic forces! Many people are questioning God…Many people who don’t even believe in God are accusing Him of allowing these horrific things to go on. God is not a puppeteer and He doesn’t manipulate us in every situation on earth. He gave us free will and people have free will to make decisions that affects themselves and others whether good or bad. Because of the first sin… the devil and the demons are affecting all generations of mankind and a man named Jesus came and made it possible that original sin was removed for those that believe in Him! He made it so… that if we believe in Him will have not only everlasting life in heaven… but we will have grace to help us through anything we might go through here on earth.

Great woman of God!  My mom!

Great woman of God! My mom!

 I’m personally not going to try to understand everything that occurs here on earth because there are no answers for everything… that we can understand at this time….so I will put all my efforts in seeking the grace of God and keeping my mind on Him. I know I will endure because… my mom who went home to be with the Lord a year and a half ago… suffered so much and she was still praising the Lord through her tremendous suffering and in her last dying hours she was asking her family to care for other family members whom she named!!! In Jesus last dying hour…He set this example for my mom and for all of us….to pray when you know you’re going to face hard trials and even in the midst of suffering… care about those around you….forgive…and be a living example of God’s strength. Jesus did this as He was dying on the cross.

 Evil has to have a willing host to do its dirty deeds through. It needs a mind that is not at all on God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Have people let him in their lives through sin…through the occult. Anything like mystical and magical stuff…toys, TV, games, astrology, horoscopes, fortune-telling. Did you let him in by being under the influence of drugs or alcohol? The list goes on and on. We must be careful in our lives because the enemy roams around seeking Jesus empty souls. The less of God in this world… the more we will see of the devil/demons presence. As God decreases in this world… the devil will increase. Even the earth’s infrastructure seems so be reacting with so many natural disasters. Why is this going on? I don’t personally know that answer but the scriptures above sheds light on what has and is to come. The bible has everything that we need to know about past events and upcoming events. Don’t be in the dark….read the bible!

Either we believe the bible…the word of God or we don’t!!! Either we are going to obey the WHOLE word of God or we won’t!!!

If you’re reading this and you don’t believe in God, Jesus, the Holy spirit or the bible…that is your choice…but for those who want and do believe in it… your hostility toward Christians should be directed at the God we serve. It doesn’t make me mad that you don’t believe in God…but it makes you mad that we do. Yes some of us have tried to convince you about Him because we really care about your eternal future…but it’s your choice in what you believe and I do respect that.

 Our Christian walk isn’t a whole big bag of just trials…I have peace and joy. I‘m so happy and my soul…the spirit inside of me is very well. When I go through the darkest of days the Holy Spirit of God comforts and strengthens me so much. The Lord also gives me so much love, contentment, happiness and peace of mind on a daily basis. To have peace of mind is the most incredible blessing!! I know what it’s like to not have not to have peace of mind! I’m also not scared to die…because I know that I will have the most wonderful things happen to me….a new life, a new healed body, I’ll have all knowledge of everything, I’ll see the most incredible things imaginable, I’ll have experienced the greatest love and the very best part….I’ll see the face of God and be with Him forever!

So about this world and all of its sorrows….I’ll stay as close to God as I can….I’ll keep my eyes on Him….I’ll try hard to spread the good news of Jesus Christ, I’ll pray all the time and I’ll walk with God. That is my plan! I pray you have one too.

Message for today: Hell did break loose 1 second after Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Life… the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God has a plan for us. Don’t be scared, upset, or disheartened today. Put your mind on Christ and He alone will give you perfect peace. The Lord can take away any heaviness of the heart. Throw all your care on Him and I can tell you from my personal experience…that HE WILL see you through ANYTHING!!

all hell breaking loose last

Someone asked me a ? about the Newtown killings

8 Comments

Sandy Hook Elementary School

I put todays blog on Facebook and someone asked me..”Where was God yesterday?”  This is what I posted back:

(Let’s pray for those who are asking that same question….many are.)

Where was God during the shooting?  God was still on His mighty throne and knows all that has and is going on.  Why didn’t he do anything?  Why Katrina…Why 9/11…Why all the innocent people being killed tragically everyday?  Only God knows the answers to these questions.  God didn’t cause this nor did He ignore that they happened.  The culprit of the horrific things is satan.  There is no way in real-time that we will know why God allowed this to happen.  The bible is clear that God’s ways are not our ways and we should not rely on our own understanding of things.  He said we see through a dark glass now but one day we’ll understand the things that have happened.  I know that God did save hundreds of kids that day and everyday He does so many miracles to keep millions safe. 

I thank Him every day for keeping me, my family and millions safe and heals hundreds every day.  When these types of things happen…I do what HE tells us to do and that is…TRUST Him and keep our eyes and mind on Him.  He said He will keep us in perfect peace if we do that.  He said He would give us grace to get through anything.  We who are God’s children are going to pray for these precious families and their community and we will not lose heart. 

We know that these precious little ones ARE in the arms of Jesus now.  For those who are mad at God…it’s totally OK.  That’s how you feel. I used to be mad at Him a lot…but after I learned what the bible says about His nature and I learned who He is…I stopped being mad at Him when bad things happen because I have more of an understanding that we are just not going to know all the why’s and He has His plans and His reasonings.  His motives are not to destroy us.  Our spirit will be alright no matter what happens to our bodies.  I know this is a long answer but I just needed to say what I said. I leave you with this scripture:

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
 forever. Psalms 23:1-6

I wrote this almost a year ago and it sends chills through me because of all the things that have happen this year. Today…lets keep our eyes on the Lord and our spirit very prayerful. Lets humble ourselves and pray. Lets seek His face. Most of all let’s do what God Himself told us to do…trust Him. He said He will keep us in perfect peace if we keep our mind on Him. So today as our nation is mourning and suffering yet once again let’s cast all our care on the Lord and remain steadfast. God bless and keep you all!

P.S. I will have a 2013 message coming for the New Year and I’m already getting some of it and it will be ….encouraging. I’ll be posting it on December 31, 2012.

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR EVERYONE FOR THE NEW YEAR

This year to come is going to be a real blessing for many and it will also have hills to climb for many. I‘m not one to scare anybody or cause mass hysteria…but I think everyone has figured out by now that things are very difficult in this world right now. As 2011 in about to be no more 2012 might bring questions about the new year and some might want to party hardy and not take time to consider what this year might bring.

I have a word that I feel in my heart for 2012….and that word is…POWERFUL. I feel very powerful things are going to go on in 2012. Several of my blogs have spoken about what God is doing and you will have to refer to them to know what was said.

satan…Wants us to be off balance

5 Comments

off balance best best

These are difficult days for many including myself.  Many of us have to deal with all kinds of trials….health, wealth, job loss, hurricanes, etc.  To add to this pressure the enemy (satan) is trying to get us off-balance so that we will stumble and fall.  It’s not the things we go through as much as it is a battle in our minds.  Things will always be going on in our lives but…the enemy tries to cause fear, jealousy, mistrust, doubt, worry…just anything to…TRIP US UP!

off balance best

When we are going through rough trials… it’s like we are already hopping on one foot and the enemy is shoving trying to get us off-balance.  I’m sure you have felt wobbly at times.  I have felt this recently and I know just what to do…..

  1. Resist the devil!
  2. Pray!
  3. Sing songs of praise to God!
  4. Get alone time with God and meditate on His goodness!
  5. Think about and draw from the hidden word of God in my heart!
  6. Cast all my care on Him!
  7. Hold myself steady on memories of all the past victories and miracles from the Lord!

I want to leave you with these scripture for today:

1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Message for today:  Even if we begin to feel off balance….the Lord can keep us steady.

The Lord will keep you steady.

The Lord will keep you steady.

Do you need to be soothed?

I need to hear this song today.  My body is acting like a 60-year-old body with chronic illnesses acts.   God is so amazing though and will provide us what we need to strengthen our spiritman.  God gave us the gift of music as soothing balm and I’m blessed today to have been soothed.  If you need to be soothed today…consider this wonderful woman’s story and her heart for our Lord and Savior.   Let this song have it’s work in you too.

Annie Johnson Flint was a song writer and she also wrote poetry.  In her life time she wrote 6000 hymns and gospel songs.  Annie knew what suffering was.  She was afflicted with severe crippling arthritis and cancer.  When she wrote this hymn below…she had to have the chalk wedged between her stiff gnarled fingers.  Annie was a very faithful servant of the Lord.

He giveth more grace

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.
His pow’r has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

Abide with me…Updated

6 Comments

Jesus…the Rose of Sharon will answer you when you call…if you ABIDE IN HIM John 15:7

 

 

I will be singing this song in church this evening and the words were hard for me to get so I rewrote some words and added new verses.  Sing these with the original melody and I pray you will be encouraged today.  God bless you!

 

 

                                                                                                           Abide with me

 

Abide with me, as nighttime fills the skies

I feel alone Lord, with me please abide

When others fail me, and comfort flees

You are my help o Lord, abide with me

 

Life is so hard; I need thee every day

This world grows dim; its beauty‘s fading away

Change and decay is all around I see

O God you never change, abide with me

 

I’ve learned to trust, in your abilities

I trust your word to have its work in me

When the enemy attacks me, he will have to flee

I know I’m strong because, you abide with me

 

I know I need to, humble myself and to pray

I need to live Christ, each and every day

You’ll never forsake me, for all eternity

You’ll grant my prayer request, if I abide with thee!

 

I’ve learn to trust you every single day

Your word has power, with it I will pray

With help from your Spirit, I’ll hide myself in thee

I know He’ll remind me this; “abide with me”

When my kids were little, they would love to jump on me and cling to me.  I really loved for them to do that.  They also did that when they were really scared and you could’nt pry them off of me.

Today I feel like I’m doing that to God.  I feel like I have jumped into His arms and I have my legs wrapped around His waist and my arms are wrapped around His neck really tight.  Big as my butt is… I’m sure God is telling me to go on a long fast LOL!

Seriously…I feel like clinging really tight to my Father in Heaven.  I need Him really bad… in an up close and personal way!  I need to feel His heart beat and feel His breath.  I need to hear His lips whisper to me that everything is going to be alright.  When I was singing my song that I posted yesterday…I felt Him.  Can you tell as you watched the video?

Most of the time… I can feel Him so close and sometimes… I just have to jump into His arms.  He lets me!!  How do I know He care for me so?  Well this scripture tells me so: Psalms 103:13  As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; 

Also I know that I have my Fathers Holy Spirit in me and He helps me to interact with my Abba Father in this way.

So… tonight as I writing this note for my blog…I’m doing it…from my Father’s arms.

Message for today:  Need encouragement and to feel secure…get in your Father’s arms.

I am not ashamed to get right up into my Father God’s arms. I need to see myself doing this!! God loves me and He loves you too!!!

These past 2 weeks have been difficult as I’m sure it has been for thousands of people here in the northeast.  It was my sunday to sing and this song is what the Lord told me to share with everyone.  I needed to sing this song today!  The Lord spoke to my spirit.  If you need what I need…I pray this song blesses you too in Jesus name…Amen

My House

I live right by the water here on Long Island NY.  My family and I are all safe…Praise the Lord!  We’ve lost a lot and are suffering discomfort and inconvenience but we have our lives!!!!!!!!!  Words can’t explain or express the shock and ramifications of all of this.  This was a catastrophic event here in the Northeast!!

I knew this was going to happen about 6 weeks ago and I said some great events were going to happen in the future in a few of my blogs this year.  Why?  You can find it in those blogs but I’m still trying to sought out the reason as to why I knew.  This was not the first time.  I knew about a few other catastrophic event.  I’m a prayer intercessor and I’m very sensitive  in my spirit and I do get many visions and messages.  I just pray about everything and I know my Father God.  He has His way of doing things and I just trust Him through the good and the bad.  I put my focus on Him and keep it moving.  If I stop to say why why why?  What for?  I only get…frustrated so…. I ask for the help I need and Wait for Him to see me through.

I just sing this song to myself and I keep my eyes on Him…..

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on,
Let me stand
I’m tired, I am weak I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Through this recent storm of life God was a very present help in my trouble and had His angels getting all wet for me!

In the coming days… I will pray and see what the Lord wants me to share with you all.  I feel there is something…but I need to pray first…seek His face and know for sure what thus saith the Lord.  It’s important to hear from God when so many need answers ….but God does things in order and while so many are hurting so….people need gentle misnistering from the Lord.

God has been doing little miracles for me and He’s letting me see and know that He’s watching and he cares.  So I’m encouraged saints!  God is here! HE is able to take care of my needs as I cast them all on Him.  God bless and keep you all!!
