Furious Love

Furious Love official trailer WARNING! glimpses of demonic possession. Some swearing in the 'up next' videos containing the confession of an ex-Satan worshiper; viewer discretion is advised.



What a very powerful movie, an eyeopener to what our battle really is about and how the love of Jesus can and will break the power of Satan and his attacks on people. We are born into a battle that we really have no idea about. The earth is breaking up around us, (click here for a great blog on the reports of natural disasters, The End Time by Elizabeth Prata) in the form of earth quakes, tsunamis, fire, and all kinds of natural disasters, and the church (the people of God) are doing nothing but sitting in their homes living their lives for themselves and trying to make things better for them.  There is a sleepiness that has been prayed on us, kind of like in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorthy and her buddies were walking through the field of flowers and they fell into a deep sleep. We need to shake this off and toss cold water, in the form of the Living Water, the Holy Spirit by reading and studying and praying into the Word of God. Then we need to act on His Word by doing His work in our everyday lives.

We need to wake up and pray. The followers of Satan are praying and they know the extent of the battle. If you haven't already done so listen to the confession of Ester, the former Satanist, she explains things very clearly. There are 3 parts to the 'up next' video and Ester explains our battle from eyes of one who was deeply involved with Satan and has been set free by the love of Jesus.

1 John 4:16-18 NIV

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

How do we show this love of Jesus to others? This is something I am really working on in my life. We need to live in love who is God and we do this first by spending time in His Word and then spreading this to every single person we meet. When they ask us the reason for our joy we just simply explain the gospel. Simple, or as my friend Summer would say, easy peasy! 

Church, children of God, we need to pray for all things in all things and through all things. The children of Satan are praying and living very active lives for him and he is on the rampage but the power that we have in Jesus Christ out weighs all that Satan does and we accomplish this by loving each other as we love ourselves.

I would highly recommend watching this movie, Furious Love, it is a real eye opener to the power we have through Jesus Christ.

Trying to live in the love of Jesus,

Luke 6:18-23 NIV

...who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured,  and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

 Looking at his disciples, he said:

   “Blessed are you who are poor,
   for yours is the kingdom of God.  

Blessed are you who hunger now,
   for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
   for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you,
   when they exclude you and insult you
   and reject your name as evil,
      because of the Son of Man.

 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

Praise You Jesus for what You are going to do!! Thank You Jesus You are the best.

Prayer for Sara G.

Sara G. over at Survivable Life is a very determined lady and she is making progress in leaps and bounds in recovering her right side of her body after having a major stroke. She is a survivor and her blog talks about her journey and recovery.

Please pray for Sara G.
Our prayer requests - Praises for progress but also for continued healing of my right side, for safe journey home of our daughter, and for God's direction for some unspoken decisions. May there be doors either open or close but His will be done. 

I Kings 8:28-29 NIV

Yet give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day. May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that you will hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place.  

Praying and praying for you Sara G!!

Come As You Are

John 8:10-11 NIV

When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” 

How did this woman come to Jesus? She came in her sin, just as she was. An adulterer caught in the act, yet Jesus takes her as she is and then tells her "go and sin no more."

Sometimes we get this backwards. Fix your self up then come to Christ. No! We are to come to Jesus just as we are, He will fix us up. This is not something we can do in our own strength, it is something Jesus does for us but we need to be willing to change our ways.

Our responsibility as a church, the body of Christ, is to reach out to those who are lost and in need of a Saviour. A new life in Christ means no more labels, the shame and guilt is gone. When a sinner comes to Jesus the thankfulness towards this gift of life, there is an inner desire to change their lives and live a life pleasing to God. If there is no change then there is no gratitude and if there is no gratitude then God's grace has not been understood.

Jesus tells us I forgive you, now change your ways.

Wonders in the Sky

While driving home from picking up my daughter Squeaks up from the airport. We saw some awesome clouds that we have never seen before. I hope you enjoy these pics as much as I do.

Psalm 104:2-4 NJKV

Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,

         Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
        
 He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
         Who makes the clouds His chariot,
         Who walks on the wings of the wind,
 Who makes His angels spirits,
         His ministers a flame of fire.

Daniel 7:13-14 NKJV

“ I was watching in the night visions,
      And behold, One like the Son of Man,
      Coming with the clouds of heaven!
      He came to the Ancient of Days,
      And they brought Him near before Him.
       ¹⁴ Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
      That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
      His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
      Which shall not pass away,
      And His kingdom the one
      Which shall not be destroyed.

Revelations 1:7-8 NKJV

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

I sat in the truck thinking about Jesus and how one day He will come in on the clouds with every eye on Him and all will bow their knee to Him in submission to His glory. One day He will come and I want to be ready.

Blessings my friends,

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the father's out there. May God bless you and keep you and may His light shine on you always!

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband. Thank you for always being there for our children, for providing for them, loving them, teaching them what it means to be a father, the covering of the family. Thank you for loving and following God and holding His teachings dear to your heart.

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful dad who now rests with my mom in heaven, having a blast with Jesus and their friends. I know dad you are waiting for me. :) Thank you for being the best earthly daddy ever! And for allowing me to be your little tom girl! I love you dad!

Happy Father' Day to our Heavenly Father; Daddy!! You are the best! The best Teacher, Leader, Healer, and so many other names I could go on and on forever. Thank you for being our Daddy!

Romans 8:14-16 NIV

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 

Galatians 4:5-7 NIV

to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

DC Talk-What if I Stumble

Let's not be people who worship Jesus with our lips and then deny Him with our lifestyle...




Isaiah 40:29-31 NIV

He gives strength to the weary
   and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
   and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
   will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
   they will run and not grow weary,
   they will walk and not be faint.

Daniel 11:34-35 NIV

When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

Brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, let's live what we practice in our churches. Let our lives be a Holy worship to our God who gave all for us; Jesus Christ.

1 John 2:9-11 NIV

Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

Northstar 'I Need You' *New 2010*

Christian Rap



Isaiah 24:17-19 NIV

Terror and pit and snare await you,

   people of the earth.
Whoever flees at the sound of terror
   will fall into a pit;
whoever climbs out of the pit
   will be caught in a snare.

   The floodgates of the heavens are opened,
   the foundations of the earth shake.
The earth is broken up,
   the earth is split asunder,
   the earth is violently shaken. 

Psalm 70:5 NIV

  But as for me, I am poor and needy;
   come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
   LORD, do not delay.

Our God is a God who loves and forgives you for whatever you have done. He is loving and willing to cover you in His blood. Step out in faith into the loving arms of Jesus Christ who gave it all up for us, so we can be with Him in glory forever. He is awesome, give Him a try I guarantee you will not be disappointed. There is no love greater than one who lays down His life for a friend and Jesus calls us friends. He doesn't sneer at our sins but wipes them clean. You can't get a better deal than that.

Psalm 103:1-5 NIV

Praise the LORD, my soul;
   all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the LORD, my soul,
   and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
   and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
   and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Oxygen; Jesus Christ / Weekend Brew

A blast from the past for Barbie's The Weekend Brew.

Acts 16:6-7 NIV

Beautiful sky last night on the farm

Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.

This passage I have stumbled over many times, how did the Holy Spirit block their way? How did they know that Jesus would not allow them to go this way? How did they know this was of God and not of Satan? Well, John 15:4 NIV tells us...
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

So often our decisions, our choices are made by our own will, me, self; self centered. This is a normal pattern of thinking after all since childhood this has been our main concern, self. If we change our way of thinking by putting God first and asking Him to direct and guide us then He will for He promised us He would. Remain in me as I also remain in you.We need to make the choice of walking in the Spirit. When we choose to hand everything over to Jesus, then we can trust that what we hear, or the options opened up to us are from Him and not from Satan. 

It is hard thinking in the spiritual realm for we live in the earthly realm. Our minds are earthly, our thinking is earthly, how then, do we think and live in the Spirit. First off, after committing our lives to Christ, we need to emerge ourselves in the Word and then live out what we read. Putting God first and loving our neighbour as ourselves. Do good works and trust that when we ask God to guide us that He is guiding us. When a door closes believe He closed this door and trust when the time is right He will either open that door or open a new door. 

This must be our passion, Jesus Christ, He needs to be our oxygen, every breath we take we should be breathing Him in, then I believe we will be able to discern His voice and the direction He is leading us. Jesus needs to be our everything and when He is we will know when He is guiding us.

The Bride of Christ

Revelation 19:6-8 NIV

Google Image

“Hallelujah!

   For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
   and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
   and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
   was given her to wear.”

I think every little girl dreams about her wedding day and makes plans drawing and designing her wedding dress. Figuring out and planning the banquet, dreaming about where she would love to go for her honeymoon and who her husband will be. It is a day in a woman's life that she gets to be a princess, the belle of the ball with every eye on her and her husband gazing at her with longing in his eyes. He desires her and his eyes and mind are on her and her alone. He loves her so much that he would die for her.

Her whole childhood and through the teen years she dreams about her wedding day and when she knows who her husband will be, she may prepare for her wedding day all year long gathering with her friends, who become her bridesmaids and her matron of honour, preparing, planning and giggling together. She dreams of her husband to be. He is tall, handsome, (on the inside), strong and has eyes only for her. He is a man who she can lean on and know without a doubt that she could find protection in his arms, a place to weep; security knowing he will protect her at all costs. She studies him, wanting to know everything about him and her love for him grows with each passing day.

When we become Christians, we become part of a body of believers who are the bride of Christ. There is a wedding banquet and we are the belle of the ball, but in this marriage, Jesus is the center of attraction, not His bride. We, the bride, need to make ourselves ready for His coming and our white dress is our righteous acts. We need to study our husband to be and we have His Word, the Bible, to know who He is and how much He loves us. We need to keep ourselves pure by not having other idols or gods in our lives. He is the perfect husband, for He has no fault in Him and His love for us is so complete that we can rest in His arms and find the protection we need at all times. 

Our husband is preparing to come and call His bride home, will you be ready? Will you know His voice when He calls? Study His word, get to know His face by seeking Him. He will reveal Himself to you. He is coming, let's prepare our dress while we have time. Matthew 25:1-13, explains what will happen to those who are prepared and those who are not...v13  

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."

Revelation 19:11-16 NIV

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

                                            

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Lucy is doing so well!

Thank you to all who are praying for Lucy, 3 Kids a Mini-Van and a Mortgage. A while back you might remember that Lucy was fairing poorly with her sight leaving her, you can check out the posts here and here. Well yesterday she had a MRI done to see how she is doing and this is the report from Kate, Lucy's mom...



Lucy got a wonderful report from her scans.  Here are the 5 things that the doctor told us:
1. No new tumor growth
2. No growth of the old tumors
3. Spine looked even better than the scans 2 weeks ago
4. No cancer cells in her spinal fluid
5. Thalamus has returned to normal (following the vitamin deficiency)

Praise our wonderful GOD!! Rejoice with me in the awesomeness of our God!

Exodus 15:2-3 NIV

“The LORD is my strength and my defense;

   he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
   my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
The LORD is a warrior;
   the LORD is his name.

Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NIV

I will proclaim the name of the LORD.
   Oh, praise the greatness of our God!
He is the Rock, his works are perfect,
   and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
   upright and just is he.

Praising God

1 Corinthians 14:15-17 NIV

So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified. 

I am praising God for just being Himself! WOOT!

Psalm 44:20-21 NIV

If we had forgotten the name of our God
   or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
would not God have discovered it,
   since he knows the secrets of the heart? 

How thankful I am that God knows me inside and out. He knows and understands us better than we understand ourselves. He knows and understands what drives us; a craving to be like God. He created us in His image and we crave Him, to be like Him. When we make ourselves right with God through Jesus then our sins are forgiven, we are at peace because we can come to Him, through Jesus, and talk to Him like a friend. This is good news! This is awesome news! This is the best news I have ever heard!

Thank You Jesus for setting us free! Oh what a gift this is indeed. 

Isaiah 61:1-2 NIV

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
   because the LORD has anointed me
   to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
   to proclaim freedom for the captives
   and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor 

 












All believers in Jesus have the commission to spread the news about setting the captives free, by spreading the gospel; the good new of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 42:6-8 NIV

“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
   I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
   to be a covenant for the people
   and a light for the Gentiles,
to open eyes that are blind,

   to free captives from prison
   and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

 “I am the LORD; that is my name!
   I will not yield my glory to another
   or my praise to idols.

A few of my Babies

Cearzo

Shy Girl

Shadow Fox

Widow Maker

Mystahya

Beautiful sky

While out in the field snapping some pics of my babies I was overwhelmed with God's beauty and character He places in all He creates. Each animal I have ever had the pleasure to look after and care for has been unique. I stand in awe of His mind and creativity, gifting each and every person and animal differently yet similar; no two are alike.

Romans 8:18-21 NIV

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.  

Creation is eagerly waiting for the return of Jesus so they can be free from the oppression of decay and can glorify God along with the children of God. When the full number of God's children come into the salvation waiting for them through Jesus Christ then Jesus will take home those who belong to Him. 

Do you know Jesus in a close personal way? Maybe you are the last person that needs to come into Him. Make the decision today to follow Jesus, don't wait until it's too late.

Shadow of His Wings

Psalm 36:5-9 NIV

Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens,
   Your faithfulness to the skies.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
   Your justice like the great deep.
   You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
How priceless is Your unfailing love, O God!
   People take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
They feast on the abundance of Your house;
   You give them drink from Your river of delights.

For with You is the fountain of life;
   in Your light we see light. 

Thank you LORD for You protection in the shadow of Your wings. Like a mother bird protecting her young, You are gentle to Your fledglings yet fierce to all those who attack your babies. I am so proud to be called Your baby! As I nestle in the comfort and protection of Your wings, I will learn from You for You are the Great Teacher. Lessons may be hard and painful at times but I know without a doubt they are good for me. Thank you LORD, thank you!

"Life Isn't About Waiting For The Storm To Pass, It's About Getting Out There And Dancing In The Rain"

James 5:13-14 NIV

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.

Brinnng!!! Time to Wake UP!

2 Timothy 2:24-26 NIV

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 

Do you find this hard to do? Gently instruct those who are wicked, do not argue or quarrel in hopes that God will give them repentance. When you go on and look into verses 1-5 you see that people are selfish, abusive, ungrateful and so on. This makes giving a gentle answer or a turning of the cheek difficult. These are the days that we are living in friends; last days. 

We, as brothers and sisters in Christ, need to encourage each other, build each other up in Jesus and the Gospel. Supporting each other through prayer, knowing that one day we will be rewarded in a way we could never imagine. As brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, we need to stick together as a family whether we live side by side or on the other ends of the earth. We are all family and together we work as one body under Christ. During these times when we are trying to follow the word of God and others are so worldly that they are wearing us down and we become frustrated and fed up with doing right because it seems nobody else is doing right, then this is when we need to come together and pray. Our prayers offered up to God are very powerful and accomplish much in the spiritual world. Do you think that Satan's followers are standing by idly? No way!! They are fasting, praying and offering blood sacrifices to their god against Christians, against our children. This is a spiritual war and they are fighting and sticking together.

Brinnng! Christians, it is time to wake up and put on the armour of God and fight against the principalities and rulers of this earth. We need to stand side by side watching each others back for the forces of evil are strong and becoming stronger each day as people become lovers of self.

Kimberly, Mining for Diamonds, is in a 'woman of faith' contest, (which, by the way, there are still 2 days left to vote), I have been supporting her almost every day with my vote and while looking through some of the blogs that are running as 'faith blogs' I was noticing that there are a lot of witches running for near top 25 in this contest. While looking through one of these blogs I opened up the comments on one of the posts and was not really surprised to see that these witches are sticking together to protect their own. I was very sad to see that there were not that many Christians coming together to support those that were being trampled upon, so to speak. This is reality. This is the last days.

2 Timothy 3:2

Our God is more powerful and has won the war and we need to fight alongside the angels that are fighting in the heavens to win the battle of the individual souls. We do this by loving those who treat us mean, giving a gentle answer, avoiding a quarrel in hope that they will come to know Jesus and repent of their sins.



Join me in prayer as we fight alongside Jesus.
