Merry Christmas 2013

 I wish you, no matter where you are or, who you are with A wonderful Christmas!! And A Blessed New Year!!!

This is my favored time of year for many reasons Such as: The weather and the fact that I love the holiday season.  Thanksgiving through New Year’s… All because of: the giving, sharing, thankfulness, anticipation of new, beginnings, joy, and so much more in the air. I love the lights, the trees, the food, and most of all the family you generally get to spend time with. Family,  close friends and relatives.. (Usually)

Sadly though, this time of year brings stress, anger, and loneliness to a lot of people. This is the first year in a  a couple of years I have not felt so lost in emotions…. We all worry about if we have enough time to do what we want to do, do we have enough money, will our friends and families enjoy our efforts. And then there are those of us who do not have the pleasure of having people in our lives to share this time with and it brings out anger, resentment, and deepens the loneliness and pain. I know this all too well over the past few years for sure. They have been hard… I barely celebrated. But there is something really special. No matter what every Christmas Eve.. I get filled with this amazing peace and my heart fills with unexplainable thankfulness and all. I find myself staring at the Christmas tree and or lights for hours not thinking anything just in awe… It all started when I awoke from the coma in 1997 Just 2 days before Christmas… Maybe because of the many close encounters with death I am more sensitive to the holidays… This year it wasn’t my closeness with death that was faced. I lost my oldest brother to cancer…. But then in November my youngest sister Got married…. Such a wide variety of emotions….  I know for many this was a very hard year, but many of us have been blessed despite the troubles… Such as my parents finding a house after almost 4 years of searching… It never amazes me what God can do….. I know next year I and many others, feel it will be a year of closure and togetherness.. I am looking forward to that tho I feel the past few years have gone by way to fast… I hope to share some good things with you in the future tho. Like some books in the next year!!!

I wish you, no matter where you are or, who you are with A wonderful Christmas!! It is not about the Receiving, it’s about the joy of togetherness, the Giving of love and companionship… So many I know have been blessed with wonderful mates while others are still alone.. Our time will come singles! God’s timing is perfect and He or she will be exactly what we need… And more then we could ever want!!

This was supposed to be a sweet note of love, sorry I went on…   I pray if you don’t know Jesus yet you take the opportunity to ask into your heart tonight…  Don’t waste time waiting for the right moment or to be perfect. He loves you as you are and there is no better timing then now…  Having a relationship with Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit is the best Gift I could share with anyone… God after all gave the best Gift Jesus… And that is what Christmas is all About… Celebrating his Birth, His life, and His Death so that we may be free of the chains of sin and be blessed with Eternal life!!!   It’s easy just read this out loud.

“Dear Heavenly Father, I acknowledge I need you. (You do need Him) I welcome you Jesus into my heart, for you are the way and the truth and the light. (John 14:6)  Please forgive me of my sins and be a part of my life form now on.. Thank you Amen”       Now go tell  someone what you did.

John 10:10

The devil comes to steal form you, to Kill you, and to Destroy you, but I come to bring you life and to bring it Abundantly.

You are Loved,

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.

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?

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!

!STAND UP HEALED!

!STAND UP HEALED!
Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed..

I am sorry again it has been too long. I don’t like making excuses. I honestly have had no idea on what to write about. I had a few ideas but nothing seemed to flow. I wait On God and then write what he wants me to. Plain and Simple. The topic was in front of my face. I am was just to blind to see it.

Join our mailing list so you know when we update.

So here I go.

The past three and a half months: My family, my friends, and extended friends have been dealing with Health issues and even deaths in their lives. The Devil has been attacking his children like crazy and his children loved ones. John 10:10 ~ The Devil comes to steal from you, to kill you, and to destroy you. ~ We all know that part of the verse. But we often forget the most important part.~ But I come to bring you Life and to bring it Abundantly. We can not forget that anymore. We need to stand up against the devil and his lies. YES they are lies, because God is the father of Life! As his children we have his Life in us. We need to realize that and fight for it. Even when we do not feel healed, we are to act in faith as if we are. We should praise and worship God as we act normal. John 7:24 ~ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. I hate it but we do need to fight. We are in a war with the Devil and until Jesus comes back it will not end.

In my life the Devil’s weapon of choice is illnesses, complications of health. Ever since I was born I have been battling with health attacks. Less then a week ago I had a one on one with God my father about this. And I for once said NO MORE! No more will I be wishy washy when I ask for healing for me or someone else I will see it done! I will not waver in my faith. I claim the gift of healing. (Did you know if you ask God for one of the spiritual gifts he will give it to you because with the holy spirit it is already yours? But that is a topic for next time?)

It seems since I asked for it more people have had things happen. A friend had complications during child birth, she and her son are doing much better. God is good. And today a man I love was attacked with something the Dr.s can not find. Possibly life threatening. But he is Healed in Jesus name! And so are you! Claim your healing and fight for it. It is worth the battle. Trust me, if I didn’t fight for mine I would not be here today. The devil will do all he can to convince you otherwise, it is not worth it, It won’t happen, until you give up. Then guess what, the Devil wins. Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. ~Proverbs 12:18

We humans like easy things, to a point. Few like to fight, battle, play hard ball. But that is what we need to do against the devil. Jeremiah 17:14 ~ Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. We can not let him win. We have the anointing we have the power. When Jesus came back from the dead, he gave us the holy spirit and the authority over evil. Luke 9:1 ~Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Since Monday when my friend had the complications with her son’s birth soon after I told God and the Devil no more was I going to attack harder. Stand taller, walk into battle. And to my surprise all week I have been getting Bible verses about putting on the armor of God. Which is exactly what I needed to hear, read, and do.

Read on…
Ephesians 6:11-20

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 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. 13Wherefore 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.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

We need not to forget that God is with us and he will not leave us alone In our times of need as well as our daily life he is always here for us. Joshua 1:9 ~Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Do not be afraid to cry out to God. He is here for you in your time of need. He loves you! He is your ever loving father after all! ~

Here are some more verses that you should read. Maybe you could write them down or print this and put it in your home or car as a reminder when you are struggling.

~ Psalm 30:2 ~O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

~ Lamentations 3:22-23 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

~ Psalm 104:24 How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

~ Proverbs 3:7-8 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.

~ Romans 10:9-19 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Remember, no matter what the situation, remember to praise and worship God. And you will see the Enemy’s Lies fall like the walls of Jericho did. Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho came crumbing down.
God Bless you Today and always my friends, my brothers and sisters in Christ. If you need any prayers or want to talk about praises’ feel free to e-mail us.
