What Makes The Difference With GOD

In 2014, GOD is not interesting in our fan page, our repost, and our status updates with a watered down message of his goodness and grace. He is interested in WORDS of power that will arouse the conscious, convict the heart, and empower people to take up their Cross and follow him with their WORDS, and Action!

Jesus, said'
“Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?  “If any of you are embarrassed over me and the way I’m leading you when you get around your fickle and unfocused friends, know that you’ll be an even greater embarrassment to the Son of Man when he arrives in all the splendor of God, his Father, with an army of the holy angels.”Mark 8 Message Bible 34-38

Profanity out of the mouth of Christians do not glorify GOD. Gossiping about things that you know nothing about does not edify, Backbiting does not convey whatever is TRUE, and telling people business does not spread the GOOD NEWS.

But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. Matthew 15:18

Those that behave this way do not KNOW GOD, do not LOVE GOD, they are using his good name for selfish gain, and deceiving themselves to think their in the KINGDOM, when they are not. But more importantly, they are misleading those that are lost.

No one can fool GOD, money does not move him, and who you connected to or married to, does not impress him.

In 2014, Intimacy with GOD requires truth about yourself, people and situations to set you free. You can't be naughty and nice at the same time, because a double minded person is unstable in all their ways.

Real FAITH requires action in everything we do, and everything we say!
(Read James 2)

GOD is separating his children, and we will know them by their fruits.

Romans 2 Message Bible
12-13 If you sin without knowing what you’re doing, God takes that into account. But if you sin knowing full well what you’re doing, that’s a different story entirely. Merely hearing God’s law is a waste of your time if you don’t do what he commands. Doing, not hearing, is what makes the difference with God.

Merry Christmas

Good Morning,

I’ve been sitting behind this computer for thirty minutes, waiting to receive a WORD from GOD, because I’m not going to post anything that I’m not lead to post. While I was waiting, I started to think about Christmas morning as a little girl with my two brothers, and how excited we were to open our gifts.

We knew by how our parents acted whether we were getting something we wanted or something we needed, because money was tight that year. However, we were happy that we never woke up to a tree and no gifts.

I know Jesus is the reason for the Season, but I can assure you that every moment in our lives will lead to a better understanding of how to apply our Faith.

I was reading Luke chapter 2, and it gives an account about how Jesus was born, and the Angels of the LORD told the Shepherds, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

I know we have to teach our children the true meaning of Christmas, but I can tell you as a child unwrapping my new shirt, slacks and coat from under the Christmas tree meant that my parents gave me their best.

It may seem like nothing to someone that can afford to give more to their children, but for my parents it was a sacrifice.

Christmas to me is about Giving your best, and Accepting it with a sincere heart of Gratitude.

Accepting Jesus Christ in our lives is the best gift that we will ever receive, because it is the GIFT that keeps on giving for generations to come. We are establishing a covenant relationship with GOD through his son to guide, lead, advise, protect, provide, deliver, and save our families.

I know this is just a simple message, but the LORD had his son born in a simple manger to be despised and rejected by mankind, to be pierced for our transgressions, and crushed for our iniquities; he was punished to bring us peace, he was wounded so we would be healed, and  he gave up his life without complaining, and rose again to give us the GIFT of Salvation.

Merry Christmas!

Hebrews 9:15
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.


In His Love,
