When We Love God Part 2

How many of you have heard of the truly miraculous story of Nate and Marj Saint, Jim and Elizabeth Elliot, Ed and Marilou McCully, Roger and Barbara Youderian, and Pete and Olive Fleming.

This story is a true example of people that totally loved God. They were so sincere about God and knew that He is real that they had to tell the natives of Ecuador about Him.
The Ecuadorian natives were ravaaged by hate. They never knew peace.
These missionaries had to tell them about Christ even if death came upon them.
Death did come to the missionaries when they went to give life and peace to the souls that were tortured by sin.
It took the death of the five missionary men to save the natives.
The natives conscious bothered them for the cruel act and acts they had done their whole lives.
But Christ created  a miracle and the widows of the men that died saw the vision which they had hoped.
The natives accepted Christ!
They stopped murdering their friends and families!
When we love God...He gives us the desires of our heart!

The book by Elisabeth Elloit gives extremely more insight into how miraculously these natives were saved.

When We Love God Part 1

How many times must we as people see the anger of the Lord poured out unto us?
Why must we have an excuse for trampling Christ's blood?
Christ died for the sins of the whole world and when those of us who have received Him into our hearts do not testify of Him and are ashamed of Him it angers Him. Many of us claim I love the Lord, but do we really?
Many people think because Christ died for them and because they have invited Him into their hearts, they can do whatever they want for the rest of their lives.
Christ is a jealous God!
He is angry with the wicked everyday!
He hates the workers of iniquities!
He does not like it when people who claim to be of Him, who say they love Him, do not the works that He commands.
People have come to think of our Christ Jesus as some Greek mythological god that if you beg Him enough He will come and help you.
Christ created hell for the wicked.
Yes, He even created it for all those who want to sin yet say they follow Christ.
He says ALL sinners will have their part in the lake of fire.
People who say I went to church at one point in my life will not be going to heaven. Christ does not want people who went to church.
He wants people who accept Him into their hearts, souls, bodies, and mind.
He wants those who committed their lives to Him.
He wants those who would and will lay their lives down for Him.
Is your life on the alter for Him?
He died for you!!!
Can we not give our Creator at least our life to serve Him?
He has already served us.

He has blessed us with healing, salvation, strength, power, faith, love, heaven...
What more do we want...?
He was only human!
But He did this for us.
Do you love Jesus?

Spring

Spring is a wonderful time when we can reflect on the many blessings and miracles Christ has given us. 

When we awake in the morning, we awake to the sound of birds singing, chirping, and maybe even chimes chiming. 

The earth is awaking to new life for the new year.

As we walk outside, we smell the air that is full of life. We see the beauty of the many different colored flowers that bloom and give off their comforting perfume. 

The dew is cascading the vibrant green grass as the sun shines through the trees and whispers hope into the world. 

The world is at peace...even for just a moment. 

 It can give us an assurance of hope that we need for this day. 

The day that we need it, and tomorrow, we can awake and once again be enveloped in the beautiful glory of His majesty.

For All Eternity

For all of eternity the Bible says we will be thanking God for all of the miracles He has done for us in our lives. We will be thanking Him for all of the miracles he has done in our friends or our families lives.
Christ has done so much for us we can not even begin to say thank you to Him.
Can that be fathomed?
Can you or I imagine thanking someone for ever!?
WOW!!!

The Answers Christ Gives Us

I am sure all of us have asked God for something and have received an answer that did not seem to answer the question we had asked.
Christ sometimes answers our requests in a way that would not have seemed convenient for us, yet in the way He answers us...we could never imagine the request answered any other way.
God has this ability to astonish us almost beyond belief when He decides to give us what we never knew we wanted.
He is an awesome power that continues to amaze us when He answers us.
He did not only give His Son for us-no! that was not enough-though that would have been enough, He guides us through each day and answers each question we ask.
How He answers us is astonishing!
Jesus is a wonderful Savior!
I hope you know that even though our prayers might not be answered the way we might want them answered, they are answered in the way that will strengthen or renew our lives for more fulfillment in Him. We always know that Jesus always has a perfect plan for us that wait on Him and trust Him to guide us with our lives. He hears every single prayer that His saints pray to Him. He is not slack concerning His promises as some men count slackness.*
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

*2 Peter 3:9

Jannes and Jambres

  Jannes and Jambres were two of Pharaoh's magicians in the land of Egypt.
  When Moses first went to Pharaoh to demand that he let the children of Israel go, the Lord gave Moses signs to show Pharaoh and the children of Israel so that they would know that he (Moses) was sent by God to deliver the children of Israel. One of the signs that the Lord gave him was that the if he (Moses) threw his rod on the ground it would become a serpent. When Moses gave this sign to Pharaoh, Pharaoh told his magicians to do the same with their rods. The magicians threw their rods on the ground, and their rods became serpents as well. Moses' serpent (rod) ate the magicians serpents (rod). Of course all of the people in the court were astonished at what they saw.
This was only the beginning of miracles that the Lord would show to the Egyptians and the to world.

The Blessings and Miracles in Isaiah 61

  The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

   To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

  Jesus, our Christ and Savior, has done this for us.
He has anointed us who are saved with good tidings.
He has mended broken hearts.
He has set those who were in bondage to their sins or to their or those who were in literal bondage free.
Those who have had to go to prison for wicked things they have done have accepted Christ as their Savior.
The Lord brought vengeance upon the Satan when He died and rose again. Those who come to Him to receive comfort He comforts.
He reunited Israel as a nation in 1948.
He gave them beauty for the land that was laid desolate-that was desert.
He gave us His Holy Spirit for when when we need comfort
He gave us the Psalms and praise for when we feel overwhelmed.
So that we might be called His. So that people would know we are of Him and that His name may be praised.

Hallelujah!!
