Sowing & Reaping

When we give God more of our time and refrain from quarreling with siblings, friends and strangers regarding preposterous stuff, then we have countless opportunities to perceive what the Lord expects of us ... On account of, we're not allowing our problems, worries or personal issues to predetermine our concept on life or drown us in a sea of misery either ... 

Instead we're going to toss aside those pessimistic thoughts that camouflage themselves as Heavenly logic and substitute them for optimistic concepts that have been nesting in the backs of our minds,  awaiting to emerge for some time ... By doing this, the Alpha and Omega is Glorified, we're more sensitive to the needs of others and without a doubt the blossoming of a Jesus Christ metamorphosis will spring into action during the most compelling storms of our life's ... Thus, let's take a leap of Faith and partake of this Bible verse from now on?

Luke 6:38 ~ Give and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.

Something 2 Ponder,

The Lord's Overseers ...

During the day I'm blessed to say that my husband and I set aside some time to analyze God's word ... As Pastors we're called to aid those that the Lord puts in our paths through teaching  and discussing the definition of false doctrines.   Now when it comes to  1 Cor. 14:34-35, I've met hostile Brothers in Christ rudely say  that they don't embrace the concept that women should Ministry in ANY sense of the word in God's House.

Allow me to be clear, if God would have said women shouldn't be allowed to Ministry in His House, even if the flesh got upset, I'd Pray till I'm blue in the face and obey his word. Instead it was the Apostle Paul who made that bold statement in a letter written to Timothy, 1 Timothy 2:12. You see Paul was concerned the main biblical authority for prohibiting women from becoming ordained clergy, holding positions of ministry and/or having leadership in the Church.  Most churches now a days still deny women a vote in church affairs, teach adult Bible classes or serve as missionaries. That being said,  as Pastors my husband and I don't affirm this type of hypothesis in the Church God has called us to oversee. Thus, let's bury this one side concept  and study more the Bible. For the following biblical texts were made by the Apostle Paul and not by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior ...

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 ~ the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

I'll close this Biblical awakening with this last statement,  for those of you that don't know the Apostal Paul lived in a male dominated culture and  was also a Pharisees too ... 

Food 4 Thought,

Bible Derailment

Greetings Body of Jesus Christ:

When your not convinced that the Biblical knowledge that someone is trying to convey to you is pleasing to the God's ears, instead you feel in the Spirit that it's only based on the hypothesis of the person that sharing it with you ... Don't think twice, go before the Lord in Prayer and ask him for this ... 

James 1:5 ~ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

By seeking our Heavenly Father's guidance, you'll be able to help those reach a Biblical understanding, help the blind see and be the instrument that Jesus Christ uses to liberate that person from the pit fall of Bible Derailment ... For those that don't know the definition of this term here it is ...

Bible Derailment ~ Is bogus or off track teachings of God's word ... 

Food 4 Thought,

Wedding Anniversary #24

We Praise the Lord for today, because 24 years. ago my GEM & I we're cleaning and decorating the Church, while at the same time looking into each others eyes ... During all of this love and happiness, my mother(who's now with the LORD) & her best friend Lucy(my second Mommy too) were preparing a festive 4 everyone 2 eat ... Due to the blissful fact that at 3:00 in the afternoon,where we Worshiped, Prayed and met 4 the first time. My GEM & I were no long going to be 2 hearts; because after we'd exchange Wedding Vows then Jesus Christ would be join us 4 life ... 

Genesis 2:24 ~Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

BLESSINGS,

In the Shoes

What I'm about to say may sound unrealistic; however if you haven't walked in the shoes of someone who was once blind and now sees, it might be a bit difficult to swallow ... In spite of that, grant me the opportunity to testify anyway because theirs a lesson behind all of this? On account of, if it weren't for Jesus Christ transforming my life and teaching me the actual meaning of love and forgiveness ... I'm going to be honest, where would I be right now?  

Would I be married to such a loving Hubby, given birth to 4 sweet sons or be called to the Pastoral Ministry? Only God knows! Now everyone at one point of their life's has a tendency to question themselves ... No matter how I decorate it, words can't express how grateful I am that God's plans are always better, brighter and blossom more even during the heaviest storms. That being said, personal experiences has left this Bible verse stamped on my heart ...

Proverbs 3:6 ~ In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths.

BLESSINGS,

it's God's Army

A true leader comprehends when it's time to distinguish between listening to their troops or ignoring their advice ... It doesn't mean that their weak, losing control of those under their command and/or that the ship is about to sink ...  For someone that's ever been in the Army knows that everyone has someone they have to take orders from ... Now for those of us that have willingly enrolled in God's Army, we're well aware that the last word is left up to the BIG Guy in the Sky ...

I'd like to leave you with one more thought before I say good-bye ... Thus, don't allow the devil to trick you into believing that your replaceable or useless; because who the Lord calls he stands by till the end of time ... That being said Pastors, Ministries, Preachers and etc too ... I  strongly believe this ...  

Matthew 22:14 ~ For many are called, but few are chosen.

BLESSINGS,

Stand Firm!

Allow me to suggest something this lovely Monday morning? Instead of yelling till your blue in the face or crying out your eyes till the next day, why don't you start to testify about the way Jesus Christ has added flavor to your life? Or have you forgotten the manner in which the LORD has birthed into your life's jaw-dropping curve balls that have made you fall to the floor in and left your flesh unconscious for days?

Now by doing this your showing the enemy that your not going to rest until your eyes see the Lord's blissfulness ... After you say this, in our Heavenly Father's due time you'll finally see God's divine purpose in your life ... All you have to do is believe with your heart and mind, not just with your mouth ... Read, study and believe in this ...

Hebrews 11:6 ~ And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

BLESSINGS,
