Although there’s a lot to be frustrated with and about its not an excuse to do nothing, it is not an excuse to give up, its not an excuse to stop trying to be better. You still matter and are called to be you. Don’t let people tell you who you are because you are God’s beautiful creation! That doesn’t mean you have a excuse to be cruel or judging. That knowing means you can rest in the peace of knowing you are abundantly loved just as you are. Little secret – God knows your thoughts. Your feelings, your joys. But also your sorrows and pains….
~Luke 12:7, Mathew 10:30~
“So why do I have to talk to God or Jesus then?” You ask. We don’t have to, we have the opertunity to. That is why Jesus came! Before Jesus there was no easy way to talk to God. Not since Adam and Eve sinned and were pushed out of the Garden. God knew we needed a way to talk to us.
That is why He sent Jesus. God knew we’d be ready to accept Christ Jesus in our lives. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us so that we live and have eternal life. ~John 3:16 John 10:10
We as believers have a responsibility to be examples. Not just on our good days but also on our bad days. Its ok to let people see our vulnerable side. It shows we aren’t perfect either and also we too need help somtimes. Its also an exmple to show others how to get out of our funks or to show its ok to ask for help when we need. Being perfect is tiresome…… And being perfect is boring… At least in my opinion. We are not created equal for a reason. We are all uniquely awesome! Life would be boring if we were all the same. Don’t let fear, worry, stress, anxiety, or anything else keep you from others. Don’t let anything keep you from having a relationship with God, Jesus and the HolySpirit. We need that fellowship. Thats why God made eve for Adam.
~Jeramiah 29:11~
[ I have a lot more I want to add but if I don’t post it now it may be end up as one of the drafts I started and have not finished yet. 😅 ]
Are you struggling with life and issues that are out of our control? Remember who your provider is. God isn’t limited by men. He the Alpha and Omega -Revelation 22:13
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” -Romans 8:28 “And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus” -Philippians 4:19 .
It may feel like you’re alone at times but your not. I want to encourage you to look 👀 towards Jesus / God and the HolySpirit.
I know I am not the only one dealing with stuff. You are not alone. Jesus says” I will never leave you nor forsake you” in -Hebrews:13:5 This truth is real and I know this personally out of countless life experiences.
Us = believes in Christ Jesus
Knowing that He’s got this no matter how hard or hopless it may seem. Trust God loves you John 3:16 and that He is fighting for you. John 10:10. He doesn’t want you to settle but to thrive ✨️. God bless you today and always ❣️
I strive to be Deeply Rooted in Him – God, it is not always easy but life is much better in my opinion with God / Jesus / The Holy Spirit. That way I am able to go to battle if need be and rest in the peace, love and blessings Jesus has to offer us
✝️Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.”
#biblecoloringapp
It’s not always easy to walk by faith. Especially when things are rough and you have so many questions and things to stress about. Faith means giving up your control and giving it away to someone else. Like God, Jesus. What is faith?
#biblecoloringapp
✝️Matthew 17:20 “…Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
I suggest you practice giving your concerns to the Lord, because He truly cares for you.
#biblecoloringapp
✝️1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for us”. Just throw it on him, and let him carry your burdens. Jesus said we could cast all of our cares on him because he cares for us! There is nothing we are going through that we cannot cast on the Lord.
✝️Romans 3:23-26 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus
You are loved! Even when you don’t feel like it.

✝️Psalm 36:7–9 7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. 9 For with you is the fountain of life; your light do we see light.
#biblecoloringapp
✝️Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
#biblecoloringapp
Remember it is the king of lies and deceit that’s trying to keep you down.
Don’t let him win. Take charge. Because God is our source!

✝️ John 10:1-11 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
It is time to put aside anger and unforgiven griefs. They only cause hostility and poison in your heart. I Love you says the Lord. I desire you to be blessed. To love one another and do all that you do in love. So that you may be blessed and succeed. It is a time of healing and growth. A time of truths time my children to come together again. To spread love and not hate.
✝️Romans 3:23-26 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
✝️John 13:34-35 NIV 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
✝️Deuteronomy 7:9-11 9 Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. 10 But he does not hesitate to punish and destroy those who reject him. 11 Therefore, you must obey all these commands, decrees, and regulations I am giving you today.
……… If you live to hurt or if you take joy in the pain of hurting others you are not a child of God. If you are you need to repent and ask for forgiveness. Because God is Love! And He loves everyone. ………
✝️1 John 4:7-8 NIV Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
✝️1 John 4:19-21 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
✝️John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
🙏 I truly believe that and I pray for you, American, and the world…. That you find the amazing Love God is offering, that you develop a deep personal walk with tbe Lord, Christ Jesus, and the HolySpirit. That hou can overcome fear, anger, resentment, and find forgiveness. So that you may be greatly blessed 🙌
The Lord showed me and my family that The earth is shaking. Apprently The Lord is telling other pastors and people the same thing. The Earth is shaking right now! We are currently having a spiritual, emotional, health, and physical battle right now!!! You need proof look it up do some research. I will list below what I know is current facts and a link to a YouTube channel where you can see live footage yourself.
🌏🌎🌍
I mean it literally the Earth is shaking physically: with earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, mudslides, sinkholes, tornadoes, and more.
🌏🌎🌍
The Earth is shaking -causing animals to die in swarms. That includes birds, fish, insects, mamals, anfibians, reptiles, and sealife. (Forgive me if I left any out.)
🌏🌎🌍
The Earth is Shaking from plage…. The COV19 virus…
🌏🌎🌍
The Earth is shaking and people are turning aginst one another for various reasons. Such as political differences, health restrictions, faith differences, skin colors, difference of opinions, and emotions are escalating…. (Forgive me if I left any out.) People are dying because of it. 😭
🌏🌎🌍
The Earth is shaking because there is a great spiritual battle going on right now and people are being forced to choose a side. To accept Christ Jesus or not to. I believe in the rapture and I believe that it could be sooner than later. If this a small taste of the tribulation after the rapture, I am scared for those who may be leftbehind.
I am not trying to scare you, but you should know what is going on in the world right now. That way you can choose what you want to do about it. I truly care for you, and truly believe God is a loving father. Here are some more Bible verses for you.
The Two Preachers also offer audio Bibles on YouTube New International Version and King James Version. Linked below.
I am calling all prayer warriors to join and pray with us for our country and the world. Thank you for stopping by. –

God bless you today and always!

I was praying tonight about the dream I had where I marked our doors with the blood of the lamb. I just liked they did in the Bible for Passover. [As the story goes, during the tenth and final plague, God passes through the land of Egypt and strikes down the firstborn of every household. But the Jews have been told to mark their doors with the blood of a lamb they’ve sacrificed — the Passover offering — and so God “passes over” their homes.-Vox 2014 ] Full story is in Exodus Chapter 12.
🤔I was thinking and praying how and why is it different from how we usually anoint our home? With oil or water on the inside door frames and windows. Then it hit me, I saw me doing it in the dream on the outside of the house. THE OUTSIDE door frames! So then I asked if not blood how about grape juice, no wine we don’t have any and honestly both stain.😒 Wait? Is that the point? To leave a visual line and faith message? I pondered…🤔🤨🥴
Then I heard “What is the blood of the lamb”🐑
Well since Jesus is the Lamb [John 1:36 (KJV) And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!🐑] I replied “Jesus’s blood.”
“And what was the point of him shedding his blood?”
Then I saw Jesus on the Cross in shambles bleeding [✝️Mark 15:25-26 (KJV) And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews. ✝️Mathew 26:28 (NIV) This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.]
Then the 🕊Dove descending. [Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you, I am well pleased.”]
I heard as if a whisper “what does the dove represent?” Then I saw the apostles👥🗣 preaching how all about Holy Spirit how it was now among us and how we have the power and anointing thanks to Jesus’s sacrifice.
[ 🕊 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 🕊[Romans 5:5 (NIV) And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.🕊[Jude 1:20-21 (NIV) But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 🕊[John 14:26 (NIV) But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 🕊[Romans 5:5 (NIV) And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.🕊]
🤩And it clicked. We are to anoint our door frames outside with oil or water, or <I’m pretty sure we should use frankincense tho> IN JESUS JESUS NAME! [Acts 3:6 (NIV) Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”]💗💘
😄- Now I know I probably didn’t need to be told or shown all that in the manner I was. But wow… I am glad that is how I was tho. 😇🥰
Why do you need to anoint you home? To protect your family from sickness and evil that may try to attack you and your family. That is one reason why we arm ourselves with the armor of God 🕊[Ephesians 6:10-18] and claim [🕊Psalms 91] over our homes, vehicles, loved ones and selves.
How do you anoint your home? Some people ask their pastor or priest. You should know tho, we also have the anointing. We revived it when we accepted ✝️ Jesus Christ, God, and the 🕊Holy Spirit into our hearts we have the anointing as stated above in the verses. 💕[Ephesians 2:19-22 (NIV) Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.]
An example of this is 🕊 [Acts 3: 6-7 (KJV) Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.]
To do this we are to do it in faith. ✨[Hebrews 11:1 King James Version (KJV)
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.] What I was taught to do is to take water or oil and with dip your fingertips in either. Using them draw a line across the top of the doors and windows. I usually do it down the sides of the door frame and windows of the home and even our vehicle and we while doing so I pray. “Claim Palms 91 over our house, protection from diseases, sickness, physical, and spiritual attacks against my family and my family. Anyone who has evil intent, or spirits attached will be freed when they come over. In Jesus name Amen!🕊
No matter how difficult things get, its good to remember that Jesus Died and came back so we may be live. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but I (Jesus ) comes to being life and to bring it Abundantly! [ John 10:10 Amen!] Thank you for Life!
I wasn’t sure how detailed I should be but then I found this, you should also Remember, [Luke 4:18-20 (NIV) “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.
God bless you today and always!

Do you ever feel torn about what be to do? You pray for answers and guidance but you don’t see, feel or hear an answer. That doesn’t mean nothing’s happening. I believe God is there fighting your battles. It may seem hope, or you’re feeling angry and in distress. I know right now I’ve been feeling all that. I had trouble understanding how anything good could come out of this. Yet God has been using this trial for my benefit. I’ve met some awesome new people, and pre existing relationships with people have been deepened. I’ve also been growing in my faith, renewing myself confidence and the passion I have for life.
Here’s some songs and verses I pray that will help you as well.
I first found this song on the radio before it was even out on cd. When my dad was in the hospital and having complications during a bypass sugery. Today, my mom sent it to me just when I needed it for my own battle. Music helps, especially praise and worship!!!
📖Bible Verses:
✞Philippians 4:13 (TLV)
I can do all things through Messiah who strengthens me.
✞ 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
✞Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
✞ John 10:10 (NRSV)
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
✞James 1:1-7 (NLT) Faith and Endurance
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind.
✞ Matthew 6:25-34 (NLT)“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
This is Gratefully Restored’s first vlog about Restoration in Christ Jesus.
Here are the references she mentioned in the video.
📖 Bible Verses: (NIV)
✞James 4:2 “You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.”
✞James 5:13-16 “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
✞John 16:23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing.Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.”
✞Hosea 4:6a “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.”
✞Isaiah 40:30-31 “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.”
✞1 Peter 5:10 “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
I am shocked by the number of my friends who’s parents are going through life threatening health issues right now. God gave us parents to lead us to guide us and to help us grow. So when our parents are ill or worse we the children are seriously affected. I personally have been dealing with my dad’s life threatening health until recently as well. (My dad is doing much better and out of danger now.) We have a good God. A Loving Father God who cares about us and our loved ones! Jeremiah 31:3 My prayers go out to all Families ♥ right now dealing with the this. Don’t let the devil make you forget who your God is! Revelation 1:8
There comes a time for everyone to move as my family calls it. If you have peace that it is their time to go Then I pray that they go peacefully and in loving comfort wrapped in Gods arms. Isaiah 54:10 (NIV) Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. And – 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
But if it is not their time to go yet and the fight is on – I pray for your and your parents health in Jesus name! I Claim-Isaiah 53: 5 overall! I pray for restoration and miracles to happen that bring God all the Glory. I pray that no matter what you need that you know God is working behind the scenes and He will provide you with your needs. -Philippians 4:19 Take the Authority the Holy Spirit gives you Luke 10:19 and Rebuke the Devil and claim the everlasting Life God promises. John 10 : 10.
There is always a battle going on Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) 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. Be it at work, with people, or with ourselves… We are always fighting off the devils lies. It is important to know what God says. We need to dig our roots into the word of God (may main purpose for this blog) And we need to always wear our battle armor! so that we are equipped to fight off the Devils attacks Because he is always attacking us in one way or another.
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 4:13I 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 3:1Finally, 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
