ROMANS 8:37
NO, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US.
Hi all. I am so sorry I have not wrote anything lately. First I was sick, than I really didn’t know what to write about, and I told you all from the start, I wont write things just to write, I have to know that what I am writing is not only in my heart, but also is what GOD wants me to write, and so I waited, till I knew I was for sure hearing from the LORD.
Before I get deep in to what I want to talk about today, I have a small announcement. Since most of you that read my blogs found out that I paint pictures. You all been writing and begging me to show you some of my artwork. So your wish is my command LOL (laugh out loud)
Please go to this link http://community.webshots.com/user/roostreasures?vhost=community and you will be brought to another site, where I have made my own album of paintings I have done over the past few years. This is the first time I’ve ever used this website, so if anyone has trouble loading this site, please let me know.
What I feel GOD is telling me to write about today is enjoying LIFE!!! I know, I know, I write about this kind of thing a lot, but its what I hear GOD telling me to write about, so I will obey him and write LOL (laugh out loud).
I know so many people right now who are going through so many different things, from health issues, to deaths, to marriage issues, to finances, to family issues, you name it and I know someone going through that problem. I know what I am about to say, some people may not like, but please do not take offense to what I am going to say, please read full blog before you judge.
Please know, every single one of you that are going through struggles, my heart goes out to every one of you and I am praying for each and every one of you, every single day. I am truly sorry for any trials you all are going through, and I truly know how it feels to feel helpless, so my heart truly does go out to you all.
But we cannot let our issues, our struggles, our trials, define who we are!! and some times I feel thats what’s starting to happen lately. Like for instance, the first time we run in to a friend, what do we do??? the first thing we should do is talk about the joys and accomplishments we have made in our lives, but we don’t.
The first thing we do when we see an old friend is, we give them the list of every single bad thing thats happened in our lives, and than somewhere along the way we briefly mention a joyful thing in our life, but when we mention it, it’s very brief and we hardly give it any attention and thats so sad to me, because the joys are what we should be bragging about.
All we want to brag about is our sorrows, but we need to forget our sorrows, we need to truly place them in GODS hands. Life is to short to be focusing on our pain. Lets focus on the JOYS in life, lets shake heaven people!!!!!!!!!! lets tell our selves that no longer will we let our troubles define who we are.
GOD has made us to be such strong unique people, GOD has made us to be GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Corinthians 12:9 says: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
it says for my power is made PERFECT in weakness. We need to start standing on our faith again people!!! please don’t think I am perfect, I am just as guilty as you all, in focusing on my struggles, I too at times forget how strong I am in Christ. But enough, is enough!!! we need to stop forgetting what the word says.
We need to be bold and courageous, we need to be an army, we need to be GODS army. We need to shake heaven and live life to the fullest. Instead of crying about every thing thats gone wrong in our lives we need to focus on the good and be grateful for what we do have.
Please do not contact me and tell me things like, you have nothing to be grateful for, thats how bad your life is and blah, blah, blah. Please don’t tell me that, cause I wont buy it, I refuse to believe, or except that. We all have at least one JOY in our lives, even if its just that your healthy, or that you woke up this morning, or even if its just that the sun outside is shining, thats still some thing good, thats still some thing to be joyful about.
So come on and be JOYFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets stop focusing on negativity and focus on GOD and his power, his love, HIS JOY!!!! GOD had started laying this all on my heart to talk about just a few days ago. I was taking a walk with my mom, well she was walking, I was obviously being pushed LOL (laugh out loud) anyways there we were strolling through our little neighborhood when we ran in to, two people, and now before I say this I just want to go on record and say I love my mom and please do not think im being disrespectful by bringing this up.
I think my mother is one of the most amazing, strong, wonderful, courageous people I know. But I hear her talking to these two people the other day and I start listening to some of the words coming out of her mouth and some of the conversation that me and her are having and 80 percent of this conversation, either had to do with issues we are facing, or others are facing.
As she was talking, I instantly kept picturing the devil smiling, and every negative thing that came out of my moms mouth, id see him get more and more excited, and in my head its like I could almost picture my own little movie playing and in that movie the devil was standing there and every time my mom mentioned some thing negative, like well we cant get to church cause our vans broke, or Jackie’s been sick a lot.
I kept seeing the devil standing there with a list and every time my mom said some thing id see him mark his list and start laughing and he was bragging about all the things he has done, and I instantly than realize and heard GOD say every time we go on and on about our problems, were just giving the devil more and more credit, more and more ammunition to do more evil.
We need to get over our selves, stop focusing on our problems, and stop giving our problems so much attention. There is only one man I want to be praising and thats CHRIST JESUS! and I hope he’s who you all want to be praising too. I know some of what I mentioned today, some of you may not agree with, because maybe some of you don’t even believe there’s a devil, but I do believe there is one and every time we focus on our selves and our issues, I believe were just giving him more credit.
I don’t know if you all read my blog from a few months ago, but I talked about matthew 6:10. You all should know that scripture, but incase you don’t know it, Matthew 6:10 says: your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. I asked you all this last time, but I will ask it again, do you all get what that scripture means? that scripture means, whatever our father, which is “GOD” whatever our father has planned for us in heaven, we can have right here and now.
I keep hearing so many people say: oh I can’t wait for the LORD to come and take me home so I can have this, or that, but HELLO!!!!!!!!! if you want some thing that badly, you don’t have to wait for GOD to take you home to get it. Whatever our “father” who again is GOD, whatever he has planned for our lives, we do not have to wait for it.
We can achieve everything right here, right now. Just keep standing on Faith, Keep working hard, keep putting that armor on and FIGHT,FIGHT,FIGHT,FIGHT. Why do you think the bible describes salvation as being a helmet and the bible as being a sword and sandals as being peace and a belt as being the belt of truth and the shield as being the shield of faith.
Why do you think the bible, or “GOD” describes all that as armor? Because the LORD knows how hard life is, he knows were in a battle and is trying to call out to us and is saying: HEY OVER HERE, I HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER NEED RIGHT HERE, Here is your armor right here.
Take his hand, let him guide you, let him show you how to fight for LIFE, FREEDOM, HOPE, and MOST IMPORTANTLY JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shake Heaven is a song that not only Beckah Shae is singing but also by a guy named Montell Jordan. Some of you may remember him as a singer from the 90s early 90s I think, and no he was not a christian singer at that time, he was far from it LOL (laugh out loud) to refresh your memory of who he is, he sang a song that was pretty popular in I think it was 1995 called (this is how we do it)
My point to bringing this up is, this guy has an awesome testimony and if you listened to his music back than, you would never think in a million years a guy like that would become a born again faith filled Christian and not only is this man a Christian now, but I also think he’s a pastor.
Don’t quote me on that now, but I am pretty sure he is, and its amazing to see how he went from singing songs like “this is how we do it” and “get it on tonite” to Shake heaven and going around preaching the word of GOD LOL (laugh out loud) hearing stuff like that is just awesome to me.
I not only love seeing GOD getting the glory, but I also love seeing GOD transforming people, people like Montell Jordan. If anyone reading my blogs, doesn’t realize yet, that GOD is, the LORD OF LORDS, THE KING OF KINGS, THE ALL KNOWING, ALL LOVING, ALL POWERFUL, SAVIOR, AND HEALER.
Than go do research on Montell Jordan, don’t just take my word for it, go see for your selves and see how GODS POWER AND LOVE AND GRACE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE BLOOD OF JESUS, HAS WASHED THIS MAN CLEAN AND TRULY HAS TRANSFORMED HIM. Go read this guys testimony, I think there is even a youtube video of his testimony, or at least part of it.
Well this blogs a lot longer than I planned on it being, as usual LOL (laugh out loud) THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTINUING TO READ MY BLOGS AND SUPPORT WHAT I AM DOING, I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I LOVE YOU AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, JESUS, THE KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORD, LAMB OF GOD, LOVES YOU!!!!!! HES PRAISING YOU WITH LOVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, SO LETS PRAISE HIM RIGHT BACK, AND START REJOICING WITH THOSE ANGELS!!! LETS SHAKE HEAVEN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
