As we continue to grow, may God’s blessings, discernment, and wisdom rest on all Christ followers. After the death of my husband, a lie I believed in almost cost my life. I learned the great power of deception is not knowing that you’re deceived. My biggest mistake was not asking God if this “promise” was from Him. Also, not checking it against scripture, and I didn’t share it with anyone. A discerning Christian would have disagreed. I was so sure this “word” was from the Lord, until I finally did ask God, five years later. God immediately revealed to me that the lie I believed in was not from Him. My faith in this lie, gave it life, and the power to kill me. I repented, awed and humbled by God’s mercy, kindness and patience. Immediately, I felt the progression of the cancer in my body stop. Warfare: quoting and standing on God’s Word followed. The surgery for colon cancer was successful and there was no need for chemo or any additional treatment. I was healed, and that was 18 years ago. Some scriptures that address the spirit of deception: 1 John 4:1 ESV Ephesians 5:10 ESV 1 Thessalonians 5:21 NASB Proverbs 11:14 KJV

MAYBE SOME OF US NEED TO HOLD ON TO GOD TIGHTER THAN OTHERS DO. THIS IS NOT SUCH A BAD THING.
THE SOONER, WE REALIZE PUTTING OURSELVES UNDER HIS LORDSHIP IS THE SAFEST PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE TO BE, THE BETTER! THE POPULAR SAYING THAT “GOD TAKES CARE OF THOSE WHO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES” IS NEITHER SCRIPTURAL NOR TRUE. THE FACT IS GOD TAKES CARE OF THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW MUCH THEY NEED HIM. HE IS ABBA, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, AND HE WANTS TO HELP US, IF WE WILL LET HIM. Love is a magnet that draws people. God is love. He pursues the prodigal, even while the object of His affection resists and rejects Him. Who can grasp His divine perfection, amazing patience, and incomprehensible power. His costly gift of free will to us, purchased through the death and resurrection of His Beloved Son, He will not violate.
The seasoned centurion looked up at the dead man on the cross, tears streaming down his face. Minutes ago, on command, and without hesitation, he pierced the man’s side.
Showered in the spray of His blood and water, the stunned soldier fell to his knees, his hardened heart broken by remorse and conviction that this man truly was the Son of God. Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the angels you dispatched over me last night, and for allowing me to see another blessed and favor-filled day. I never would have made it without you.Thank You for my health, strength, and daily bread. Thank You for keeping a roof over my head. May You perform miracles in my life, and take me from glory to glory. I stand in the gap for my loved ones and pray they get saved before it is too late. I am so grateful to be covered with the blood of Jesus. Dear Jesus, forgive me of all my sins. In Jesus' name. Amen From my good friend and mentor in the faith, the late Elsie Reed, who was taken by Covid-19 on 1/24/21 If you read this, and a whole lotta people all over the world are gone at the same time, you’ve been left behind! You need to call on Jesus, and ask Him to forgive you of all your sins-because everybody sins, and ask Him to come into your heart and direct your life. That’s called asking Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, and you have to mean it! If you choose not to do that, you will not be welcomed into heaven when you die, because Jesus, Who paid for our sin debt is the only way to the Father, and to spend eternity in His heaven. There are only two places you can go after you die, either to be in the presence of the Lord in heaven, or to spend eternity in hell, which was created for Satan and the fallen angels. Hell was not created for humans. There is a spiritual warfare going on, and there is no demilitarized, grey zone- there is no purgatory. There are only two choices. Choose life. Who is Jesus?
