Stop Making Me YOUR Excuse

There was a time, when I was a young girl, that I blamed myself for how people treated me. I felt that I was the problem for the adults and the fellow friends. As I grew up, I continued to beat up on myself regarding the relationships I had with people and the results there of.

I finally woke up.

I woke up when I realized that every WRONG thing I did as child, God would forgive me, and HE did. I finally realized that what others CHOOSE to do was a result of what THEY felt they needed to do, not by any thing I did to them.

I realized that how WE act and react to others is by response of the spirit within us. NO one can make us do anything we do NOT already want to do. Just the evil or the good held within dictates to us in our inner ear.

So what happens next? Well, first off, I want to tell all those connected to me in some way shape or form; if I offended you with my cut throat in your face reality of what GOD really wants, and you don't like it...stop. JUST STOP making me your excuse for the relationship we now have. No matter what you think and how many spiritual cosigners you need, I love you with the love of the Lord and according to God's bible, not the man made doctrine's that have been dictated to us all these years.

Secondly, those of you that have been connected with me through ministry, business, this blog or more, understand that your life on this earth is going to end. Be ready for it when you take a moment to look at your life and what you have done to others. How will God look at you? Have you repented of any wrongs? Not everything you have done is wrong so you have to look at it all. Be ready for your friends and colleagues to use you as an excuse for their actions.

I did this as a child, looking at all of me and I had trouble understanding God's work in my life. I did not SEE it or understand it until about 3 years ago when my body was totally clear of all liquor and things that hurt my temple(my body). I started to see how the smallest miracles are just as GRAND as the large ones I was waiting on. I looked at how I treated people in business, and in life; I looked at how I shared myself with my now husband and how it was MISUNDERSTOOD. I looked at how open my book of life was used against me and how, right now, I am still misunderstood and rejected.

Although I am misunderstood and rejected, I am not going to allow my "connections" to make me their excuse. I follow a command that is not part of the Ten Commandments and I share it with others so that they understand: Ezekiel 33:8
When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

This is important. WHY? I know God's word...I do NOT apply what I like to my life and leave what I don't like. So, when I share what the word says and you don't like me for sharing it..too bad. WHY? My salvation is more important than how you feel about the word that is needed for you. Once you, saints, figure out that the life you have should show Christ's light and illuminate to all not just who you pick and choose and that YOUR salvation is just as important (actually more important) than the car you drive you will realize that all else means nothing. Don't fail...don't stop...and please don't keep using ME as your excuse. I am nothing but a breathe on this earth....

Marriage Monday ~~Your Spouse Isn't Saved!

We are in a time where we have to live according to the word. It's no time for mistakes, and mishaps...thought patterns have to change. OUR marriages are at stake and the enemy knows it. We can pull it together now or wait.......until the rapture..which will be too late.

God gave us directions so let's try to adhere to them:

1. 1 Corinthians 7:5
Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer.

~~~do not take the intimacy away from your spouse.........you both need it.

2. 1 Corinthians 7:33
But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world--how he can please his wife---

~~~the husband can't be everything to everybody, if he isn't anything to his wife first.

3. 1 Corinthians 7: 34(b)
But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world--how she can please her husband.

~~the wife can't be anything to the world if she isn't a wife in her home first.

4. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

~~what else is there to say? Walk in total love with your spouse.

5. Ephesians 5:25-27
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant Church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

~~Husbands find it easy to blame their wives (or any woman) for any and all things. But as the husband, despite the faults in the wife, they should build them up in FRONT OF PEOPLE, while praying to the Lord to help change them.

Come back next week for part two!

Thinking Thursday! ~~They Aren't YOU

I wanted to stop in and alert some of us (Christians) about what the world might PUT in your face. What the world thinks is okay is not okay to our Father in heaven.

You have to say YOU AREN'T ME! You aren't living according to the word of the Lord, you aren't working to build the kingdom of God, by tearing down his people. You AREN'T ME........when you run from circumstances and pray afterward....when you look out for you and not the other people (family of not).

The world has to realize that there will be a difference between them and us when it comes to doing the work of the Lord.

In order to walk in that power of direction...who are YOU?
Are you the man or woman you are supposed to be according to the word?
Do you fellowship with other Christians in the house of the Lord?
Are you looking for spiritual direction?
Before you talk about your brothers "speck" in his eye..have you handled the "plank" in your own?
In order to tell people that they AREN'T YOU...you have to know who you ARE!

Who Are you?

This post is really thought provoking and short and sweet.

Who are you?......Are you a CEO, are you a small business owner, are you a president or vice president of a company? Does it even matter who you are? Are you a child of God? Do you practice what YOU preach? How important is the other person's salvation? Do you feel that you are more important than the OTHER person...who are you? In the scheme of things does the bible say put yourself first and God will make sure you are always on top? Did God say I will give you the desires of your heart if you take care of you and only you? Who are you?

Did God put you on this earth to be better than the next person and see how good you are at it? Did God say fellowship your way and meet me at church on Sunday? Who are you? ....do you want to be remembered that way? Is the bible all about you? Is your light on? Do you know if it's on? Who are you? And are you prepared to answer when Jesus comes back today?

Have I put my trust in things.........or even people??

I don't know where I have been. Times have changed all around me, and I haven't paid attention to the wants and needs of others. Sometimes, I start off the day so well with prayer and conviction (yes, the spirit convicts) I don't get here to write. That will change...I'm writing today...now and forever more..(so cliche')

Let me share a scripture that I was taken to today that caused me to think.

Job 31: 24-28 "If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, 'You are my security,' if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained, if I have regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor, so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand offered them a kiss of homage, then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high."

Job is saying had he put his trust in things he would have sinned against the Lord. That is wrong...put HIS trust in things...that's not faith...you can't put your faith in things in seen..

What does Hebrews say? Verse 1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." I know the Father can do all things.....I have the faith the size of a mustard...I don't put my trust in things or people.....because the physical will fail you immensely...but the spiritual will guide you, correct you and pick you up if you let HIM....so

Where have you put your trust or better yet your faith??
