I fell and Was Reminded

Last weekend I fell down. I was out of town and running important errands. I had a lot on my mind and I was literally driving in circles trying to find this a place I had to deliver a book too.I was not yet late but was worried I would be.

I was extermly excited when I found the place. I parked, rushed out of my car and tripped. I dropped the book to save my head from hitting the concrete, and I caught myself with my hands. I was very shaken up. I am accident prone but not that bad usually. I had come across very few sincerely nice people on my trip. To my surprise I had many people come to my aid. I felt extremely blessed for their kindness and help. When I was able to examine my wounds I saw that my hands were bloody.

I was reminded of Jesus and how he had nails hammered into his hands and I wept. Matthew 27 (whole chapter) And John 3:16 For God So Loved the World, that He gave His only begotten son. So that who soever believes in him shall have everlasting life.

The pain Jesus must have felt I could never imagine. And the blood he spilled for us….. I do not feel worthy of that all the time. I make mistakes, I get mad, I hurt peoples feelings, and mine get hurt as well too.. I have been feeling very low and stressed and though falling and getting hurt is never a good thing, it was for me. I have been worrying to much about my life and the lives of others around me. So much so that it had caused me to fall into depression almost. And falling that day reminded me that no matter how many times I fall, no matter how deep or how much my wounds hurt Jesus is always there to pick us up and help us.

When you are down close your eyes and pray. Ask Jesus, God, for help. And close your eyes and take a deep breath. No matter how bad the situation is God / Jesus / The Holy spirit is always with us.. We just need to lean on Him…. One way we can do that is by reading our Bible and studying the love letter that we were sent. The Bible is our Sword for all our battles.. And when you do not know how to pray it helps us. And when your down praying and studding Give him Praise and Worship for what he has done for us and what he is still doing. BECAUSE no matter how bad the situation / world looks right now. God is working in our behalf to better it. So pick yourself up when you fall, accept Him and his good works, and Sing praises for the good that is coming on our behalf. .

Matthew 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
John 10:11 The Good Shepard comes to watch over his sheep. I am the Good Shepard.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

Quick news

I, MsLadyBug, have been away for quite some time. I am sorry, I had no internet on the trip I took and was extremely busy. Right now I am the only on the team who has time to write. But I am sure when God has things the rest of the team needs to share it will be written… Just because they do not post does not mean they are inactive. They help me a lot with Bible verses and discussions.

I changed the theme I thought this one was nice and better organized, what do you think? Do you like it or should we change it back??

I posted something other then what I was working on. I guess God wanted me to write on that topic instead. That happens sometime. God has us do something other then what we planed on doing.. So I have a few things to post in the future. And I am working hard on being more regular with he posts but life is very unpredictable right now. I may ask some one else to join the team. If I can not for some reason post more often.. We she see. It is all up to God. He was the one who told me to start this with my team.

God bless you!! Please feel free to post comments and thoughts, even discussions though I may not have the answers I can look for them.

A few Questions & Answers

Is it just me or does it seem harder to vocalize your faith now days.. It seems a lot of people now days are hating Christians… I know the bible says it is inevitable, but that makes it a bit harder to express God’s love. Especially when the ones who need to know they are loved the most hate the even mention of Faith.. And God…

So I was wondering how do you get around it?   Personally I just love them and I try and live a good example. One of the best examples is when I mess up and I get caught (Don’t do that on purpose) Like when I say a curse word which is rare, or when I get mad. They say “I thought you were a Christian.” And I reply “I am, but I am also human. God loves me no matter what and that is one of the reasons I am living for him.

Anther question I have been asked is “Does God Love Every One”     Yes God does. He sent his only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross, to be beaten and whipped for us. “John 3:16” the full book of John is all about Jesus..

“Does God love Even Murders and Child Abusers”  Yes… Love and like are two totally different things. I LOVE my family but I definitely don’t like them all the time.. I don’t think God dislikes any one but I do know he dislikes our actions when we go against the ten Commandments. Exodus chapter 20. But that does not mean he does not LOVE them. Every one is held accountable for there actions, and every one will have to ask for forgiveness some time or another. If we do not that that is between God and the person. Do you haven to love every one no. Should we.. I think so.. Does that mean we do. No.. And we should not let people off for harming others..  But I feel we should pray for them I wish no one time in Hell. Though I did at one point. A man who abused my baby sister for a while.  But God dealt with me. I don’t wish him eternal damnation.. But I also do not like him.. And am glad he is out of our lives where ever he lives now..

How and Where, Do You Pray?

How and Where, Do You Pray?

I ask you this honestly? Do you do it with clasped hands, entwined fingers, or folded arms?  Do you pray on your knees, against a bed or a chair; standing; or on your face on the floor? Do you pray while crying, when walking, while driving, or when doing a chore maybe?  Do you always know what to say? Or do you have a hard time finding the right words…  I know for me all the above counts… I pray constantly and in all situation and places. I even pray when shopping, during a movie, or out to dinner with friends.

Prayer is such an important part of our relationship to God. It can sometimes be very difficult. But at times it can be very easy too…  I find it most hard when I feel I should pray, as if I were forced to. But that is so rare for me…. Because I pray a lot, sometimes very passionately and personally, and other times quick thank you and I love you, to my Father who has made all and taken care of all.

To me prayer to Father God, Jesus is like talking to a best friend, to someone who loves me with un-ending love. To someone who accepts me as who I am and still wants the best for me.  Humans, people I love here my friends and family are important to me but I know they do not like all of me or wish they could change me somehow.. But God takes me as I am and with that knowledge I want to be better for him. There are people in my life who aspire me the same way. But I am far from perfect and I feel so bad when I mess up. I want to hide, lock myself away so no one can see me. Especially if it is something I think was very important that I think I failed at.  But there He is, my God with open arms ready for me to go to him for comfort and strength, and most important forgiveness.   And when I am not down I go to him for wisdom, authority against evil, and joyful thanksgiving in my heart.

How about you? How do you Pray, and where? Take a few minutes to think that over then continue to read.

If you do now know where to start, if praying to God, Jesus is not something you find easy then this is all you need to know. He gave us a prayer to pray that covers it all. Which is below.  And as for the where that does not matter. The only thing that does matter is that you have a relationship with our Faher God his son Jesus.

The Prayer is called:

“The Lord’s Prayer”

Matthew 6:9-13: New King James Version

9In this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

10Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth,

as it is in Heaven.

11Give us this day our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

God bless you today and always!

Anointing in Numbers

Tonight I went to a concert where Kuttless, and Casting Crowns. The crowd was huge! Not a single seat left empty in a church that holds thousands. I am not sure how many but I know it was at least a  few thousand. The  church was huge and the staff was nice. I was really excited they are two of my  favored bands. I  found my seat and waited for them to come on.  Everyone was so happy. If you have never been to a Christian concert and you want to I recommend  a “Casting Crowns” one. Not only was there anointing it was fulfilling in many aspects.

* First, seeing a crowd so large was amazing, not only because of the numbers but also the fact that they were all, well mostly Christians. Seeing a crowd of thousands joining in worship was amazing. I was in complete utter Awe…  I began to wonder how many  out there were / are called into the ministry, or have gifts from God. And out of those how  many are not and should be sharing them.  Do you have something God has given you or has called you to do? Are you doing it? If not then why? What is stopping you from following his will on your life. He is more then worth for us to serve. Are you afraid? God choose you and he will give you the tools to do the task. I have been worrying so much about how to fulfill God’s calling on me. Thinking I am not good enough. But March God has been working on that in me and now more then ever I am regretting not following God sooner.  Don’t miss your chance to do God’s work. He called you for a reason so give it your best shot and trust Him to help you through the task. He will and your life will change for the better.

Second, If all us Christians could put our differences aside and come together like I saw tonight we would have so much power over evil. The anointing was so strong, so think I could see  chains falling off  of people all around me, I could feel Evil loosing    his battles in the presence of the Lord. He was there.  Imagine the millions we could save and affect if we could come together like this on a daily basis. Think of the millions of souls we could save.  So why arn’t we? Just like one of their songs. “If we are the Body, why aren’t his  feet walking, why aren’t his arms reaching??” Have you heard it?? Very good motivating Song.. I know I am trying to research others and spread God’s love. Are you?

We need to step up, the end of times is near, I do not believe the 2012 stuff, but the prophecies in the bible about the earth quakes and floods are coming true.. There is a hunger all around us and if it is not filled by God they go after what they think will fill it. I do not want to see my loved ones going to the “dark Side” you may call it. If one person can save just one other person, could you imagine the number of lives we could save if we started standing together, spreading God’s word and be living examples? Could you image the anointing????? The numbers of prayers that would be answered?

If Jesus came back tomorrow would you be ready?

Pick Your Battles!

Howdy,

I keep talking about standing up and fighting, I have also talked about waiting on God in the past to. Both are extremely important. But we need to know when to fight and when to stand back and let God.

We have problems, I know I do. Whether it be a dispute with some one, a health issue, a financial issue… There is something we always fight with. I am so sick and tired of the constant battles. Some are pointless and do nothing when won…  Some could be won in other means and other problems we made our-self and shouldn’t be there to begin with. So what do we do, we stress over the problems till we go to bed, then we can’t sleep and we wake up in a bad mood, only to make others around us mad, and then we get more problems,  eventually that leads to depression or worse.  We need to go strait to the source of all the bad and face the distraction ‘s creator; the problem master himself – and take a stand.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

We have to decide what is worth fighting for and what is not. For one thing, a small dispute about where to go out to dinner is not important compared to a physical fight for a life.  We need to stop letting the little things get to us so much and we need to care more about winning the important battles over the petty ones.  And that will not happen until you make the choice and decide what is more important.. Flower arrangements at a wedding or being able to afford the honeymoon? It is all about a choice. And when you make the choice which is more important.. Then things will not seem so bad. Sure there will always be problems but there will always be our Father God too! He is always with is win or loose. He supports us and gives us a wall to lean on and a floor to stand on when we need and do not need.

Spiritual battle, or physical battle, you choose which ones you need to really fight, which ones are worth the thoughts and emotions, and then go out there and win it!!

Not with eye service, as men pleases; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,  For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.   But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

The Power of Prayer!

I just got done reading “This Present Darkness” and it was such a faith building book. If you have never read it I suggest you do. It was a great reminder of how powerful Prayer is. Which is something one should never forget. Prayer is important. It helps build our foundation in faith. Payer what Jesus gave us, we pray using our spirit man. Prayer is our tool and weopon against Evil. I have a bumper sticker on my truck that says “Prayer Changes Everything”  and that is 1oo% true. Even when we can not see the difference, or the change takes time. Prayer is not always easy too, sometimes it is hard, and sometimes we may not know what to say. But that is where our faith, and spirit man kick in.

Ephesians 6:13-18: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Psalms 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Also when we pray it is important that we take time after to be silent and listen. We may not get answers right away but God gives us words of wisdom and guidance.

I hope this helps you with your prayer life, and has inspired you. It has been on my heart since I started the book and now I finally expressed it. God bless you today and always!

God’s Purpose for Your Life: Don’t live with out trying!

God’s Purpose for Your Life: Don’t live with out trying!

I don’t want to go through the motions; I don’t want to live with out trying. How often do we make promises to ourselves that we don’t keep? How often do we give up before we try? I don’t want to do that any more. I want to live for God 100% not because I have to, but because of all he has done for me. And for what he does daily for us the human race.

Every day is a new miracle. A new piece of art; a new day; a new chance! No matter how it is. Rain or Shine there is good in it. We are blessed. And I want to share the blessing with you and others I may meet. God is good. He is a loving Father. He sent his son to earth for you. Jesus spilled his blood for you. I am so thankful to be alive even with all the bad I have gone through. I want to share God’s love, so that every one has a chance to accept Christ, and go to heaven. I don’t want any one to miss out on this amazing feeling. I want every one to be blessed. Yes every one. God loves us all! No matter what you did or who you are. He wants you to know that! Be thankful and welcome him in your heart. He is waiting with open arms.

So the Lesson tonight is: God’s Purpose for Your Life

The Father’s greatest desire is for you to have a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Once you have accepted Jesus into your heart. Once you have received God’s forgiveness, and His love.  Then you are ready to fulfill the rest of His plan for your life. Your destiny will unfold as you obey the daily prompting and guiding of the Holy Spirit.

The details of where He leads each believer will vary, and He rarely gives any of us a complete picture of our destiny. However, God desires at least three things for every Christian. We will cover the first one tonight.

1. To know God’s Word.

The best way to know the Father is to read about Him and what He has to say.

If we don’t neglect reading Scripture.

Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us ,with lies so clever they sound like the truth.

What benefits can we receive from studying and applying the Word of God?

2 Tim. 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Our minds are renewed as we read the Bible. In other words, God transforms our thought patterns so that they honor Him. How does this help us spiritually?

Rom. 12:1-2 And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.[b] 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Some more Verses for your walk and encouragement:

Luke 1:45 And blessed is he /she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord

Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Daniel 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Rejoice in the Lord, Always!

It is important that we maintain Joy in this time of trouble and stress. I do not know one person who does not have something going on right now. Be it financial troubles, health, job security, or something else, every one is going through something. I really wish I could say this was not a fact, but it is. Therefore one is in a bad mood.

I can not begin to explain how hard it has been for me to keep joy these past few months. Every time I would find Joy, something would come up, happen, or attack my thoughts. I have had to make a physical and mental attempt to keep the joy. And that is not an easy task. Especially with so many “What is Next” questions are hanging around.

We can not live in fear! “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 Nothing gets done in fear. We need to walk in faith. There is power in our faith, in our words, in trusting God. Joshua chapter 6”By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.” Hebrews 11:30

Have we forgotten that God is all powerful! That he takes care of his children and their needs? Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who Gives me strength. John 10:11 I am the Good Shepard. The Good Shepard watches over his sheep.

If God can protect Joseph and make him a King. Genesis chapter 30 – Exodus chapter 1; he can deliver Shadrack, Mishah, and Abendigo from a Fiery furnace, with out a burnt hair or a stench. Daniel 3:17; He can take down the walls of Jericho. Hebrews 11:30; He can save Paul and Silas from prison. Acts 16: 25-26 and Raise people from the dead. John 11:43. What can he not do for you???

Here are some songs you can sing, when you need to find some Joy, along with a few more verses.

Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

Deuteronomy 28:47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

Job 8:19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.


I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.
Where? Down in my heart!
Where? Down in my heart!
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart,
down in my heart
down in my heart to stay.

And if the Devil doesn’t like it he can sit on a tack.
OUCH
Sit on a tack.
OUCH
Sit on a tack.
And if the Devil doesn’t like it he can sit on a tack
Sit on a tack today.

Rejoice in the Lord always
And again I say rejoice
Rejoice in the Lord always
And again I say rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice
And again I say rejoice
Rejoice, rejoice
And again I say rejoice

Come bless the Lord Come bless the Lord Draw near to worship Christ the Lord And bless His name His holy name Declaring He is good O that men would praise Him O that men would praise Him Rejoice in the Lord always And again I say, and again I say Rejoice in the Lord always

And again I say, and again I say Rejoice! Come bless the Lord Come bless the Lord Draw near to worship Christ the Lord And bless His name His holy name Declaring He is good O that men would praise Him O that men would praise Him Rejoice in the Lord always And again I say, and again I say Rejoice in the Lord always And again I say, and again I say Rejoice!

And again I say, and again I say Rejoice! Come bless the Lord Come bless the Lord Draw near to worship Christ the Lord And bless His name His holy name Declaring He is good O that men would praise Him O that men would praise Him Rejoice in the Lord always And again I say, and again I say Rejoice in the Lord always And again I say, and again I say Rejoice!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
