Blessing prayer for the children

The following prayer, based on a translation of the traditional Hebrew father’s blessing

upon his children, may be used by the head of the household, whether male or female.

“Father, I receive, welcome, and acknowledge each of my children as a delightful blessing from You. I speak Your blessings upon them and over them.

“Children, I bless you in the name of Jesus, proclaiming the blessings of God, my Redeemer,… Continue

TELL YOUR CHRISTAN SISTER HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU TODAY

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there… Continue

Prayer at Work

I can tell that many people have been sending up very powerful prayers because I am starting to feel a little relief. Im not completely over my depression but i am better. I am least going to work now. I am able to listen to music without crying. I pray hundreds of prayers throughout the day too. Constantly asking forgiveness and for mercy, blessings for those around me, family and foe. I am praying that God gives me the heart to forgive some people who abused me in the past.

Thank… Continue

The Challenge to Make It REAL!!

Isn't Bible knowledge is wonderful? I love it!! I love the Word, because it is God's personal letter to me. And I can tend to be a bit of a Bible freak!! I can't get enough of it!!

But here is something I've learned from from an online buddy, and he's always challenged me on this one.

When someone asks a question, it is so easy to give a pat answer, an answer from the Good Book. What I say probably does mean something to me (I've had a revelation on it), but to someone… Continue

The sincerety of friendship of men and women of faith

As men and women of faith we should draw near to each other as we draw near to God. We are called to minister to one another. To reach between the differences and find the commonalities. To offer friendship in the chance that one day we might offer the hope of Christ. Sincere friendships that aren’t based on appearances, street addresses, occupations, titles, or church attendance. Friendships based on godly ideals, not the world’s. I sudjest that have atlist three or more friends in a core then… Continue

See-saws!!

I used to love them as a kid ... just as long as you had someone to see-saw with, and just as long as it wasn't a mean kid, who'd jump off when you were in mid-air!!

But, as a grown-up, I've discovered that see-saws aren't that much fun... well, the ones I've tried lately haven't been.

I'm talking about the see-saws of indecision, and not knowing really what the Lord wants us to do. Most of it has been related to finance, and I know many are in the same spot. Making right… Continue

Powerful Prayer Needed

I am currently going through a very hard break-up. I will be upfront and completely honest with you all so that your prayers will be in accordance to what you think I need.

I tried to kill myself twice by overdose. If it had been my time, i should have been dead. I took an entire bottle of Darvocets (which stop lung function) and i didnt even get so much as a stomach ache or sneeze. Then i took 10 prescription double dose Ambien sleeping pills and didnt even get sleepy. All i did was… Continue

LOL!! On a Lighter Note!!

I was finding things a bit tense at present, with about 60 million things to do!! So I say to myself, time to lighten up!! So here's a couple of funnies!!

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!'

While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, getting her clothes dirty… Continue

We ALL have Foot-in-Mouth Disease!!

According to James, no person can tame the tongue. We have to admit that so often our tongues get us in trouble. We think, after it's too late, "I shouldn't have said that!!"

So, for us, our trying is futile!!! But I think we all need to come to that point of realizing how corrupt we are. And really, the tongue is not what is the problem. As Jesus said, it is out of the abundance of the heart that our mouths speak. (See Matt 12:33-37) So we need to get to the heart of the… Continue

Walking Back In Times Today If I May In Fun

Memories. Loved them ( Year 1945 and well into the 50’s and more)

Now this is bringing back times. In a bottle. For me. I can remember my brother’s old T. Ford car. He was much older then I.

He would crank it up in the front to get it started. Then it would huff and puff. Snort and spit with some smoke. Something like an old lawn- mower that has hardly no gas. Then I would hear him say above his breath. Come on Betsy. Seems everyone’s cars had that name. Good old Betsy. I… Continue

I'm new to this :) but i think i will use it as an online journal of just what Christ is doing :)

So I'm 16 and at the moment I'm studying for exams! I have been feeling so discouraged recently as my boyfriend and I broke up and he just turned on me and started saying some really nasty stuff. He also told me what my friends said about me. I must admit it REALLY hurt. I have never felt the aching i felt that night. I felt so lonely and i, well i didn't know what to do! I started feeling really depressed and discouraged, wandering what was next. I realised in the time i was seeing that fella,… Continue

LORD I LOVE YOU

Lord I love you for who you are.

You do not scold me or put me in a cornor or tell me. I told you so. You at many times have let me go through things. To make me depend on you more. I go to the lowest of Valleys . To have you reaching down and pulling me up to the highest of Mountains. As you know how much I can take. Through trials and tribulations. I know I have witnessed your word to people and have had them to deal with for years. It is one thing to witness but when they are… Continue

FOOTPRINTS A NEW VERSION Illustrated

FOOTPRINTS...A New Version

Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.

But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures,

and returns.

For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line… Continue

A Perfect Man or Woman??

Can that possibly be?? Can *I* be perfect?

I'm still looking at what James says in chapter 3. And he says that if we don't stumble in what we say, we are PERFECT!! (See 3:2)

He said early, that we are made perfect through various trials that befall us, which are actually tests to our faith, and that in turn produces patience. Patience, he says, has to do its perfect work in us so that we can, in turn, be perfect and complete. (See 1:2-3)

So, I am wondering if… Continue

Abortion, Sin or Choice.

Abortion; Brought forth in an immature state; failing, or coming to naught, before it is complete. Failing in its effect; miscarrying; producing nothing. To throw, fling or send; that is, to drive from, by force.

Abortion, in scripture is a sin against the word of God, when it states, “Thou shalt not kill.” The unborn has no knowledge of good nor evil. The definition of abortion bring the thoughts of inhuman treatment of an unborn child. Animals are treated better by the human race,… Continue

If God says He will be with us; He will be with us!!!

Throughout history we read of many men and women of God who trusted the Lord in the midst of trials, persecutions, jails, lions, bad people, etc. While reading the Word of God you can’t miss a very important statement that comes out of the very mouth of God "I Will be with you". It is a life changing experience when you believe Him at His Word. Let me take you to couple of scripture so you can understand it better.

Take a look at what God told Gideon (Judges 6:16) GOD said to… Continue
