Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

It's High Time to Trust GOD!

God is definitely not finished with you.  He has a purpose and destiny for you. "Yes, a plan for even You!"  It does not matter what age you are or what you have been through...even if your life feels as if it is a big mess-up.   Have you given all and just have given up on this life? Do you answer yes or no here?  This message is for those who have given up! For those who answered yes to this very pertinent question! The enemy of our soul, the devil, has great plans for your destruction, for he is out to win the war over your soul.  He does not want your life to move forward.  He doesn't want to see you precede to be happy or experience some real joy! He wants to snuff out the light within you. Has he done it? Have you gone too far away? Do you feel distant from Abba God in heaven? Maybe you feel like a lost cause. Have you allowed the devil to win the battle? All you are living for is the day you die.  You see, Satan knows what buttons to push and  pulls our all our tri

All things

FiveMinuteFriday "And we know that GOD causes all things to work together for the good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to His purpose."   Romans 8:28 Notice in this scripture passage, that GOD did not say "some" things. At times some bad things may damper our perspective if we are looking at them all the time. What are the things this verse is talking about? I believe it is talking about all circumstances and situations that rise in our lifetime... You see, "everything" that happens in your life whether good or bad, may not seem like there are not in conjunction with each other.  In actually, they really are working out for the best; "our best."   Do you love GOD? If we know Him, we do learn to love him no matter what! and He longs to lavish us with His love! God wants us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Bad things happen in this life that could cause us to sink in depression and despair. Do we keep loo

Almost Not Here...

Five Minute Friday I do not know where I would be today If it were not for the sovereign grace of God.  Things could have turned out a lot worser than they really are. I could have almost been a casualty of death.  But I did not die in that car wreck. I can think of all the alternates I can name them all.  I could have been a high school dropout. I could have rejected God when He called me at the age of 18. I could have not gone to Bible school or even met or married my college sweetheart.  I would not have any kids today if we had not adopted our two sons. My life would have been very different today if I were even alive. The world could have locked me away and threw away the key... I could be in hell right about now.  When I think of the worst-case scenarios, which "almost" came true I can be more thankful of all those miracles called blessings I have today. Those decisions I made were actually in God' s plan for me. Otherwise, all you would see is my tombstone or worse

The Cure for Loneliness

-
Image
Today's Five Minute Friday Word is lonely. I don't have the foggiest clue what exactly to write so I'm just going to improvise and write whatever pops in my mind for five minutes...that is exactly what this writing exercise is all about so I'm doing awesome at this point! What do I think about the word lonely?  If I sit around thinking about it, you might say that that makes my lonely. We get so busy in our everyday hustle and bustle.  You wake up and before you know it, it is time to go back to sleep.  I am sure if we thought about it long enough, then we would get lonely. So how do you deal with being lonely? I am single at this season of my life.  Even though I'm divorced, but I'm not going to push it.   I have been there and done that and got the t-shirt that says "I am a divorced man, so don't rub it in!"  I do still get lonely at times, but it doesn't govern my day. I know that I do not wish to spend my golden years alone.  I don't th

God in a box?

-
Image
I believe that at times We can limit God.  For that is like we are putting him in a box. It is as if we are saying to Him, "You can do this but can't do that in my heart..."  and the very fact is we are not thinking outside of the box ourselves. If we are doing that, we are putting others in a box too.  "What am I talking about," you might be thinking?  For example, you can get impatient and try to control your destiny. You can get ahead of yourself, without consulting Abba God first. If we are truly a born-again believer, you should be willing to call upon Him and be a doer of the word and not a hearer only.   You should be seeking to hear His voice, and not going out on our own. Is that not attempting to put GOD in a box? In fact, you are rejecting the hand that formed and fashioned you even within the womb! Thinking outside of the box means slowing down and waiting on God and not rushing ahead with your plans.  "Are you saying Yes when God has told you N

C is for Close

-
We can have a close relationship with God through Jesus by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We all have a place deep within us...a void you might say. We spent all our life attempting to fill this void and the only thing that will give us lasting satisfaction is for GOD to fill that empty void.  Nothing on this earth can come close to compare with His Spirit. If you have not experienced his fullness, you are missing out on a incredible move of God upon your life!! What is the catch to all this you might be questioning in your mind? How can this happen for me? Just pray and ask GOD to fill that place within you (that you have tried to fill with other things...)with the Holy Spirit. We ask then we wait for it to happen. You have to allow Jesus to come into your heart and He will come to you in a powerful way.
