Out with the old wine and in with new wine

It is time to get rid of the old wine skin an the old wine. And bring forth new wineskin and the new wine . We cannot mix in both the law and grace. You cannot contain in your heart the law with grace. Because it always going to be a struggle. After all the law reminds you of your sin. As the word of God says in Romans 7:7- So what are we going to say? That the Law is sin? Absolutely not! But I wouldn’t have known sin except through the Law. I wouldn’t have known the desire for what…

Poem: Faith!

Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!

Issues and challenges of Life come and go,

defining me with my soul’s scarred essence.

Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!

Allow Your Presence to wash over me,

removing all evidence of sins’ stains.

Continue breaking the ungodly links of…

the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.

Open my eyes fully that I may see

the way You view me within Your Kingdom.

Let this divine, flooding confidence

gird me…

Poem: Silent Tears (II)

Have you envisioned

our Lord upon The Cross?

Have you seen

those considered lost?

Did you notice

the absence of Grace?

Did you observe

tears staining His face?

Can you imagine

the agony of His pain?

Have you accepted the Gift

of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion

Love was brokenhearted

and divine reconciliation

was quietly started.

Christ mourned the…

Poem: Determination

O Lord, I have purposed in my spirit

to sing of Your greatness and mercy!

Before You I humbly bow and kneel;

with my tongue, I exalt only Thee!

The enemy constantly surrounds me;

my joy they look to slyly steal.

You are my Maker and I’m the clay,

previously molded upon Thy Potter’s wheel.

Since Your words drip from my heart,

no longer can I remain silent.

Use me to write this poetry, filled…

with messages that are “heaven…

Seems the more I try to understand the more confusion, not wishing to be foolish, separating the truth from fables or what we believe to be truth. Of all the things I've done this is the hardest. Purified by fire? Experiencing "in the world but not a part of it" This separation is difficult but I believe that without it we are as the rest. I think about Christ, He displayed anger and sadness at times. I don't follow the ways of the world because of what I see around me. We were meant for… Continue

Why are we worshipping celebrities and not those dying for their faith.

I am particularly saddened by yet another post about another celebrity who has given their life over to addiction & Satan. Why aren't we saddened when Christians worldwide are being slaughtered for their faith in Jesus? Are we that dumbed down? What has the t.v. done to us...?? People are killing themselves daily & because it's a celebrity who does it, seems to bring sadness over the whole nation...??? I'm horrified & agonize every single day over the loss of life of our…

How Much Power Does Satan Really Have

And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that (Job) has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. Job 1:12

Satan afflicts believers. Don’t underestimate him. He’s not an imp in red tights with a pitchfork. But don’t give him more credit than he’s…

Save My friends through your prayers

Dear Friends,

Some of my friends are caught up in a cult group which teaches that Jesus Christ had lust in His flesh, and he prayed to Father for him to be cleansed from such sins. This group focusses much on sin than on Jesus. Their leaders have more authority than the word of God itself. Please pray that my friends would be saved from such group. Thanks !

NO more legalism!

Why living in legalism is bondage . Okay let's start with the view of legalism. Basically means of keeping all the Jewish regulations such as keeping all the 10 commandments and other things. WHen I was a little girl and my younger adult years as well that's the way I use to act making sure I did not break one, well least in my point of view. I was like the rich young ruler. As the word of God says in Matthew 19:17-20- “When you call me good…

Pending Payment and Youth Meeting

"I am waiting for my payment for the past two months, every now and then I am making such prayers, really I don't want to do that. But my situation forces me to pray that way. Pray for my payment and some regular income please !"
"I have been invited for a church's youth conference in the month of May. I am in double thoughts. Please pray that I should return from the camp with a joyful heart. Or let God stop me from going there !"

Poem: Unwavering

O my Lord, my eyes are fixed on you;

nothing else matters or blocks my view.

I’ve purposed to set my heart on Thee,

knowing that You have a vision for me.

Remove these silly, earthly distractions

that interfere with our intimate connection.

I’ve been released from shadows of anonymity;

my future is certain, bound solely by Thee.

My desired has been renewed with holy fire;

teach me even more, before my life transpires.

You continue to sustain…

Poem: His Amazing Grace Continues

I am surely blessed, knowing…

that God’s grace continues to flow;

for I’m sustained by His presence,

wherever I am or divinely go.

I refuse to be consumed by uncertainties;

for by His grace, all fears are relieved!

My faith will be evident within my life,

which started… when I first believed.

From promises of spiritual prosperity,

I thankfully in praise, raise my voice…

giving utterances of His sacred Word

in which this joyful soul…

Paper on Major Prophets

It hasn’t been that long ago that I learned I have Jewish ancestry. My parents joked about it so I didn’t take the rumors seriously. On my dad’s mother’s side of the family, they fled from Germany and left everything behind. We have no heirlooms/relics to remind us of who we are. It’s like an ancestral amnesia. If the family history wasn’t recorded in a history book about a small Iowa farm town, we might have lost the information. On my mother’s side, my grandmother’s maiden…

Letting go of what everybody thinks about you

How many of us have been in bondage because of somone's opinions? Not knowing that this is just the enemy scheme to keep us in bondage and crippled us down by what other people think about us. As the word of God says in 2 Corinthians 2:11- lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. It's not in God's will that we should not be held in power to anyone power. As the word of God says in Luke 4:18- To proclaim liberty…
