Satan Is A Liar!!!! by Sister Doris Hartley

Hell gets very confused when Jesus delivers a person from a spirit of infirmity. See Satan has a file that is suppose to predict precisely which of his tactics will work on you. If it doesn't work, that causes confusion.
Then Satan starts grilling his demons: "Did you not catch him/her at a WEAK moment in their life? Did you not make the temptation enticing enough? Did you not make the accusation powerful enough?  Did you not use a strong enough chain to bind that spirit of infirmity to them? To all of these questions the demons reply yes we did, but this time it just did not work.... GLORY TO GOD!!!!
 Once you have been set free, Satan will keep trying to bind you, that's his job, but now the weapons he use to use against you in the past, don't hurt you anymore. they are not as effective, because now you have a savior to lean on. see, God has loosed you from their ability to wound you or incapacitate you anymore.
 Over in mark chapter 2 verses 1 -12, we read about a man who had palsy. Four friends brought him to Jesus, by lowering him thru the ceiling, so Jesus could heal him. Jesus said to him, Arise, take up your bed, and go". This man was lying in a bed when they lowered him down to Jesus, but after Jesus spoke to him, he carried his bed back home, The two (man) and (Bed) traded places.
 You are never going to be entirely free from problems, but Jesus comes to heal and deliver you so that the problems cease to diminish you, hold you back, or keep you down. Instead of the problems controlling you, you can begin to control the problems, in the name of Jesus. praise God.
I believe that there are many people, that have been taught wrong about deliverance. and as a result, they have unrealistic expectations. example: Some People expect to walk through a prayer line and have somebody to lay hands on them with such great power that the devil will never be able to say another  word to them for the rest of their lives. They think that if they go to the right church, or sit under the right preacher, that they will become so mature in God that they will never be tempted again.
 That will never happen because it isn't about making the devil impotent, it's about making people strong and free. Deliverance means: that you now control what use to control you. It means: the thing that use to sit on the throne of your heart and ruled you with ruthless power over your life, has been dethroned and replaced by Jesus Christ.
(Problems)...(Temptations)...(Tribulations)..(Everyday circumstances)...It all still exists, but is no longer in charge over you. Every now and then, Satan will attempt a coup. He'll try to usurp the throne of your life, but at that point, it's up to you to resist him and trust in God. Satan will not stop trying folks, but deliverance will put you in a position to keep him from succeeding. Don't let him win, put him on the run in the name of Jesus Christ.

Let Go And Let God!!!!!by Sister Doris Hartley

Do you realize that you have been thru enough tragedy in your life? you have been in a bent over state long enough? God is wanting to do marvelous things in your life. He has kept you alive through all those years of infirmities, he has not let you die yet...why?... Because he loves you, and he has something greater for you than anything you have ever experienced.
You may have been abused and misused, Perhaps all those you trusted have turned on you, or broken your heart, still God has sustained you. You didn't make it because you were so strong, or because you were so smart and full of wisdom. You made it because God's amazing grace kept you. (PRAISE GOD HE KEPT ME, SO I WOULDN'T LET GO.) He has more instore for you today, than what he had for you yesterday...Don't give up, Don't give in..HOLD ON..YOUR BLESSING IS ON IT'S WAY...
I DARE you to realize that you can do all things through Christ Jesus that strengthens you. Once the infirm woman knew she didn't have to be bent over, she stood up straight. Jesus told the woman at the well to get rid of her old ways of doing things, he wanted her to give up that old pattern of selfishness. Suddenly she realized that she didn't have what she thought she had, The sinful things she had fought to maintain weren't worth as much as she thought they were.
I'm referring to those lil things that we allow to be attached to our lives...like gossip, backbiting, bad attitudes, doing things our way.....and much more. we become comfortable with what's working right now. Some of those old habits that have just become natural, relationships that we thought were secure, but wasn't, Often we settle for less because we are afraid of changing what we have grown accustomed to. LET GO...AND LET GOD..
Satan does not belong behind you, or on your back, he belongs under your feet. If we allow him to, he will ride us to death, but there is no saddle that fits your back, we have the power thru Jesus to rebuke his sorry butt, and send him packing back to Hell. Satan is not omni-present, he cannot be everywhere at the same time, so he has his demons do his dirty work, and if we set back and let it happen, they will destroy us. BUT PRAISE GOD, WE HAVE THE POWER THRU JESUS TO SEND HIM ON HIS WAY. GLORY TO GOD.
The infirm woman didn't panic because of her crippling disease, she had been in pain and torment for 18 long years, but when she came into the presence of Jesus, she relaxed in him, she EXPECTED that he would take care of her, and the result was HE DID. we have not because we ask not, and at times we ask amiss.. We need to be expecting God to answer our prayers, and not doubting. faith is not believing he will, but knowing he will.
If you have struggled or are struggling, you can have satisfaction, there is hope for every soul, and it is found in the master of the universe...the trinity of our being...THE FATHER...THE SON....THE HOLY GHOST...He will not deny you because of your past, he loves UNCONDITIONALLY......He will take you as you are, he will give you rest for your weary soul, heal your every affliction, and what great benefits you will reap. He will provide peace to your soul that passes all mans understanding, and overflow you with JOY , the joy and peace that lets you lay your head on your pillow at night, knowing if you never wake up on this side again, you will forever rein with him in heaven.
So stand up straight, and hold on to his unchanging hand.
1ST CORINTHIANS 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

WORKS OF THE FLESH by Sister Doris Hartley

Good afternoon my friends, the Lord has impressed upon me to do a study on the Works of the flesh, to break them down. see friends there is alot of false prophets out there today, teaching doctrine of mans ideas, instead of the true undefiled word of God. These definitions are from bible dictionaries, and strongs concordance, check them out for yourselves, and is followed by scriptures.
Flesh is the element in human nature, it has corrupt desires. If we practice the deeds of the flesh, we will not get into heaven. Gal 5:21 We have to crucify this flesh daily, and it's a battle..
Works of the flesh are found in Romans 4:4-14
1) Adultry- Sexual relations of a married man/woman with someone other than their spouse, which also includes sexual desires of another that seeps into the heart. the Bible says in Matthew 5:28- But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultry with her already in his heart.  exodus 20:14- Deuteronomy 5:18- Matthew 5:31-32.
If you are a married woman/man, you need to be faithful to your spouse, even in mind and spirit. When the bible states that the wife/husband hath not the power over their own bodies, but of each others that exactly what it means. nowhere in the bible does it state that if your spouse is not fulfilling their sexual duties, that it's ok to look elsewhere, that is adultry no matter how you look at it. there is no one exempt from the word of God, you cannot justify sin.
Beware of false prophets going around in the name of Jesus spreading lies to deceive. Whoa unto those wolves in sheep's clothing spreading garbage. And those shepherds who are scattering God's flock. we are to pray, try the spirits, study to show ourselves approved, rightly dividing the word in truth. Gods word has never changed, and never will, if we are to say we are Christians then we must purify our hearts and minds, a wishy-washy double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. The word says: to them that know to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin. scriptures to back up all I said: there are many scriptures on adultry, but here is a couple. Matthew 9:11-12, 1st Corinthians , Romans 7:1-3, Romans 13:9, proverbs 6:32, mark 10:11, Luke 16:18,
2) fornication- immoral sexual conduct and intercourse(Pre-marital Sex) outside of marriage; it also includes partaking in fleshly pleasures such as: pornographic pictures, magazines, websites, films, or explicate writings which arouse.(A couple Scriptures are:) Matthew 5:32, Matthew 19:9. Acts 15:20,29, Acts 21:25, 1st Corinthians 5:1 (especially 1st Corinthians 7:8-9.and 7-19)
Listen people, there are those who get on the internet, telephones, in public places, who are set out to deceive, they will connect themselves to you in one way or another, and using God as their cover up, try to seduce you, talking vulgar, and lying with all they got to get you in their trap, or web of deceit. The bible clearly tells us that if we are Christians, not to do things to let our good be spoken evil of. and not to bring a reproach upon god or our Christian walk. If you are single, shame on you, but if your married, double shame on you, especially if you are proclaiming godliness in your life. We are the temple of the Holy Ghost, and he will not dwell in an unclean temple, we are to put away all filthiness of this flesh.
3) uncleanliness- Sexual sins, evil deeds and vices, including thoughts and desires of the heart, that is not Godly. Ephesians 5:3, Col 3:5.
4) Lasciviousness- Sensuality, following ones passions and desires to the point of having no shame, guilt, or public decensy. 2nd Corinthians 12:21.
Idolatry- Worship of spirits, persons, or graven images, also to trust in any person, institution, or thing as having equal or greater authority and power than God and his word.. Col 3:5.
6) Witchcraft- Sorcery, spiritism, black magic, worship of demons, and use of drugs to produce spiritual experiences. Exodus 7:11,22, Exodus 8:18, Revelation 9:21, Revelation 18:23.
7) Hatred- Intense, hostile intentions and acts, extreme dislike or enmity. Proverbs chapter 6 talks about the 6 things that God hates, and 7 is an abomination.
8) Variance- Quarreling, antagonism, a struggle for superiority. Romans 1:29, 1st Corinthians 1:11, 1st Corinthians 3:3.
9) Emulations- Restfulness, envy of another's success. Romans 13:13, 1st Corinthians 3:3.
10) Wrath- Explosive anger or rage, which flares into violent words or deeds. Col 3:8-10.
11) Strife- Selfish ambition, and seeking of power. 2nd Corinthians 12:20, Phil 1:16-17.
12) Seditions- Introducing divisive teachings, not supported by the word of God. Romans 16:17
13) Heresies- Division within the congregation into selfish groups or cliques, which destroy the unity of the church. 1st Corinthians 11:19.
14) Envyings- Resentful dislike of another person who has something one desires.(Covetness, one of the ten commandments).
15) Murders- Killing a person in cold blood, as well as spiritual murder.
16) Drunkenness- Impairing ones mental or physical control by alcoholic drink.
17) Revellings- Excessive feasting, revelry, a party spirit involving alcohol, drugs, sex, or all.

FRIEND OR FOE? BEWARE. by Sister Doris Hartley

Do you realize that not everyone who says "I am your friend" is really a friend sent by god? The devil can send you a "Friend" too.               
Surety means- To stand good for another persons debt. ( many years ago, A mans WORD was his collateral. A mans word meant something that you could trust in.
                   Proverbs 6:1-5
1)    My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, 
Be careful of who's debt you stand good for. "We are talking carnally" but the Lord showed me something here "Spiritually". We have to be careful who we trust our spirituality to. "Example"  A "person" or "vessel" in whom Satan is using to try to destroy you, can drain God's spirit right out of you, if you allow them to. DON'T be so eager to befriend someone before you pray, and let your spirit bear witness with theirs. let God lead you in EVERY decision you make. I'm not saying don't be friendly, that wouldn't be very Christ like, but you have to realize, that not everyone who says Lord, Lord, is one of his followers. Be very careful in who you put your full trust in, without God's guidance, because the debtor may be Satan, and the debt may cost you your soul.
2) Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
You can make or break your Christianity with the words that come out of your mouth. Hang around SIN long enough, and it will begin to rub off on you. It is not always out there in this world that you have to keep your guard up my friend, Satan will send his own right in the sanctuary of your church to destroy you, "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING" Satan's helpers go to church probably more often than most who claim to be Gods children. Where do you think the word "Hypocrite " derives from? or "Heritick"? or "Sower of discord among the brethren"?
Psalms 55:12-14 says:
12) For it was not an enemy that reproached me, then I would have borne it, neither was it he that hated me: that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.  13) But it was thou A man, mine equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.  14) We took sweet council together, and walked into the house of God in company.
3) Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
Pray and ask God to help you discern the spirit of a person before you put your spirituality into their hands in trust. Have you ever heard the term "A friend won't let a friend drive drunk"? Well "A friend won't try to take a friend to Hell either, or destroy their good name".
ROMANS 16:17-18 says
17) Now I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them.  18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly: and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
It only takes a moment of taking your eyes off God, for Satan to veer you off the right path. Remember Peter? He walked on the water, until he took his eyes off Jesus, then he began to sink. See Satan knows what this flesh desires, and he will supply your every fleshly need if you will accept them. ROMANS 8:5 says: For they that are after the flesh mind the flesh, but they that are after the spirit do mind the things of the spirit. Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
4) Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
Don't give the Devil an inch, or he will take a mile. He is not playing games, if you play with fire you'll get burned. Don't let him rock you to sleep, stay alert in God, keep the mind of Christ, and keep your eyes open, and your guard up always.
2nd Corinthians 6:14 and 17 says:
14) be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?   17)  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord. and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you.
Listen, take it from someone who knows first hand, you ain't been nowhere, until you let Satan take you on a journey.
He will take you farther than you want to go. He will put you on a train
headed for HELL, and stamp your ticket no return. I am talking from
experience friends, I was the lucky one persay. I praise him for leaving
the 99 and coming out to get this lil lost sheep who went astray. When he
found me I had taken all I could take, and was willing for him to rescue
me. you know sometimes I sit and think, what if I had of died in my sin?
no matter how many sermons I had preached, or lessons I had taught,
I would have split Hell wide open. But by his mercy, and his grace am
I here to tell the story of my deliverance.
Your never going to measure up in mans eyes, so stop trying. Mans
opinions of you don't amount to a hill of beans, it's God's opinion that
matters. God loves each and everyone of us equally.
If you have ever fell, which no one reading this is above falling, your
no one is so holy that they cannot be deceived, but anyway, let God
be your guide, don't listen to mans ideas on forgiveness, go to God,
he is the one who forgives, sets free, and delivers. Man will always
remember the bad in your life, but God didn't die and leave no man
judge over your soul.
Pick yourself up, hold your head high, you are somebody, and your
special to God. Put Satan under your feet and keep him there.
We are fighting a war here, against principalities not each other.
READ EPHESIANS 6:12
THIS IS REAL PEOPLE, KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS CLEAR AND UPON GOD. WATCH AND PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.  WATCH HOW YOU WALK, AND CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY.
I KNOW THIS WAS LONG, BUT GOD LAID THIS UPON MY HEART FOR A REASON, HIS WORD WILL NOT RETURN VOID. I'M CLOSING NOW LOL, WITH THESE 2 SCRIPTURES.
PROVERBS 4:14-15
ENTER NOT INTO THE PATH OF THE WICKED, AND GO NOT IN THE WAY OF EVIL MEN.   AVOID IT, PASS NOT BY IT, TURN FROM IT, AND PASS AWAY.

Halted Between 2 Opinions. by Sister Doris Hartley

Hello Friends,          I pray this finds you all well. Alot of times we think we have so much time ahead of us, but the truth is, we know not when our number  will be up, it's time to stop trying to  hold onto God with one hand, and with this world with the other. It's not popular to be a true Christian, you will be talked about, lied on, persecuted, and drug thru the mud, but IT WILL ALL BE  WORTH IT AFTER A WHILE!!!! Be true to yourself and others, be who you are, not what other people wants you to be. You can't mix God and world, it's like trying to mix water and oil.


Upgrade your email with 1000's of cool animations  1 opinion- verses Upgrade your email with 1000's of cool animationsthe other:
It seems that everyone has an opinion, most people seem to have an opinion of an opinion. Alot of people is not giving any thought to where they will spend eternity, there are only TWO places: "Heaven or Hell".
                    First Kings 18:21 says:             
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him but if Ba'al, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
I have heard people say "I'm not ready to make a commitment yet, or I'm not done sowing my wild oats". Man is guaranteed of one thing, we all will die. But my question is: Are you ready?. All my life, I have heard people say: "I will make it right before I die", The problem with that is, we don't know when our time is up. Just suppose a lost person went to sleep at night, and the death angel came? He or she, would lift their eyes up in Hell.
                     Luke 16:19-25                    
19) There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously everyday:
20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich mans table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abrahams bossom: The rich man also died, and was buried;
23) And in Hell he lifts up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25) But Abraham said, son, remember that thou in thy life time receiveth thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
My friend, Lazarus had an opinion, and that was to love and serve God, no matter what condition he was in. The rich man, had an opinion, and that was to love himself, and what pleasures this world had to offer in sin. sadly there are alot of people today that don't know what they want. There are also wishy-washy Christians that are neither hot nor cold for God. The lost are looking for a peace, the Christians should have this peace, through Jesus. it's up to Christians to show a lost and dieing world, that the true peace can only come through Christ. We Christians, can't save the lost, but we can lead them to the one who can, which is Jesus Christ, the son of God. 
The only opinion a Christian should have is simple: and that is " I will live to the best of my ability, to walk in Gods righteousness, and to keep his statutes, and do the best I can to be a witness for Christ".  The only difference between a sinner and a Christian is:  A Christian has accepted Gods perfect sacrifice "his Son", And the blood is applied,  And a sinner is waiting to be showed the love and mercy, and forgiveness of Jesus through a child of God.
It's time we make a decision, and  quit standing at the crossroads, and Help lead those lost  souls to  Christ, for the Bible says, Work while it is day, for when night commeth, no man shall see  to work. We are watchman , read Ezekiel chapter 33, if we do not blow that trumpet of warning, their blood will be required at our hands on judgment day.

Keep Pressing On by Sister Doris Hartley

  I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU TODAY, I hope you get a blessing out of it.   God laid it upon my heart to write this, it's for somebody, and I know Gods word will not return void. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

You know we need to be pressing on toward Jesus as hard as we can, this reminds me of a story in the bible, about a woman who had an issue of blood.                                   

The woman with the issue of blood faced two major challenges. one, was the challenge of confronting her own self doubt, wondering can a woman like me, actually touch a God like him? to that question whether your male or female is always YES,    the second challenge she faced was getting thru the large crowd. see once you make your mind up to get to Jesus, the devil will do everything he can to put obstacles in your path. there is always this fleshly realm, that you have to break through, in order to get to God in the spiritual realm.

 The bible says "I AM A SPIRIT, AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP ME, MUST WORSHIP ME IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH". you have to say to those doubters, what are you doing? "excuse me, I'm on my way to Jesus, no matter what you say, or what you think about it". you have to say to those who judge, and want to offer you their expert opinion, " excuse me, but you just need to step out of my way, and keep your opinions to yourself". you have to say to those who want you to stop and stroke their ego's " excuse me, but I don't have time for your games, I'm on a mission toward my savior".

Listen, don't let anything, or anybody stand in your way. just step right over everything of this flesh, that the devil can and will offer you, and keep pressing toward Jesus. when man says you can't get to him, God's mercy lets you by. when the laws of man tries to stop you, Gods grace opens up the door. when the world says don't go, God says come on in my child. our job is to make a way to open up the path. the bible says "seek out the old path, and when you find it, stay thereon" .

 The enemy may be telling you that it is impossible for you to get up, get out, or get on with your life, but I am here to tell you that the devil is a LIAR!. this woman pressed thru the crowds of nay sayers, doom sayers, the piles of bills, the doctors reports, the back biters, the tale-barers, and everything, and everybody, that was standing in her way. and you can do the same. when she touched the hem of his garment, which was him, she touched his life. his life poured into every part of her body, where life had been draining away to nothing. his life, filled her lack of life, and his life will also fill your lack of life, if you'll let him. so don't give up, inspite of all the odds, you are more than an over comer, in the name of Jesus. KEEP PRESSING ON!

The 10 Commandments Are Not Multiple Choice by Sister Doris Hartley

Hello friends, I posted this a while back, and the Lord impressed upon me to post it again. In the world we live in today, there is so many false Doctrines being spread abroad, many lies and deceptions. We need to study our word and show ourselves approved so we can rightly divide it in TRUTH.
The 10 Commandments.
 
1) Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
simple as that, nothing, nobody, no job, nothing period, because whatsoever we put before God is our God. He has to be number 1, he won't take no backseat.
 
2) Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth. Thy shalt not bow down thyself to them. nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
self explained right here. God is God, and only him shall we serve.
 
3) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
listen God has no last name, He is the great I AM, the Alpha an Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. there are also other ways to take his name in vain. study it out.
 
4) Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
The Sabbath day is a holy day, the day set apart to assemble ourselves together and pray, praise and worship God, to alot of us its Sundays. everyday should be a holy day for us, but God commands we keep the Sabbath day holy. it says no WORK, I'll stop right there, but if its in the word its TRUTH. you can take it to the bank. I think that arguing beliefs is childish, so I won't, but I think people need to start studying, praying, fasting, and seeking Gods face for direction.
 
5) Honor thy Father and thy Mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
We are to respect and love our parents, after all without them we would not be here.
 
6) Thou shalt not kill.
In my opinion this is not just about murdering the flesh, I believe that if we murder someone's spirit we are just as guilty as taking their lives.
 
7) Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
This one speaks for its-self. wives stay out of other men's beds, men stay out of other women's beds. but you know the word goes farther than that...it says if a man look upon a woman in lust, he has committed adultery with her already in his heart. women that goes for us as well.
 
8) Neither shalt thou steal.
If it doesn't belong to you, leave it alone.
 
9) Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Now here's a good one. All liars will have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.
 
10) Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbor's.
Simple, stop lusting after things that others have.
 
Here you go friend!!
11) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34.
How can we say we love God, if we can't love each other? God is love. If you can keep this one commandment, the others will so easily fall into place.
 
People today think that these are multiple choice, and pick and choose, but they are just as much a part of our walk with God today, as they were back then. Jesus told his disciples, if you love me keep my commandments. They are also in the new testament. Not a thing of the past as some think. Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it.
Did I write this to be judgmental? No I did not, these commandments apply to me too. we all need a reminder from time to time, I think it's a crying shame that it seem's so terrible to display them in public places, yet our schools are teaching our kids its ok to have sex(fornication) as long as they are safe, but telling them they can't pray. ummmmmm that tells me this world is just about to come to its end, we need to be prayed up, have our lamps full, trimmed, and ready to go.
GOD BLESS YOU.Image

Press On And Touch The Hem Of His Garment by Sister Doris Hartley

I have been thinking about the woman with the issue of blood, you know she could have been any woman, she could represent all women, God could have used her as an example for all us women to relate to. why? well, An issue of blood is normal for all us women, it's a vistor we all dread from month to month, but in her case it lasted way to long. it wouldn't go away. and that's an understatement right there.

Have you ever had a problem in your life, that seemed like it just would never go away? Have you ever said to yourself...ok this will surely be over by such a such time? I'll come out of this by so and so date? Have you ever said well by such and such time, my ministry will be in full bloom? I will have got that promotion? I will have accomplished what God has set forth for me to do?
When a problem stays around too long, you end up with two problems instead of one...You have the original problem, and then you got the problem that your original problem won't go away. The fact that you have had the same problem for so long begins to discourage you, and aggravate, and weigh upon you. ..Then that problem will begin to speak to you, saying "I'm here to stay"...you might as well get use to me cause I ain't budging...everything you've tried so far has failed....nothing is going to work...I'm here for the rest of your life....
This problem will remind you daily of your past faults and failures...why? SATAN.....The devil loves to brag about how long he has been a thorn in your side. but good news...SATAN IS A LIAR!!! AND THE FATHER OF ALL LIES.......
Your problem or issue may not be blood, but whatever it is, however, it is like this woman's problem if it is draining the life out of you, if it is diminishing your vitality, taking away your sparkle, your joy, your energy, and your enthusiasm for living.
If it is not money, its the children....If it's not the children, it's your marriage....If it's not your marriage, it's your job....but if it's not none of these it's something else...your issue may be a secret, about your past, your family, something you experienced long ago, maybe your church, your friends, but it is a major issue, if not it would have been gone long ago.
Your issue today may be a need, a need to touch Jesus for a spiritual need, maybe salvation...It may be a need to touch Jesus for a healing, either spiritual or physical....maybe your ministry...I don't know what your need is, but God does.....but I do know this..........
Every woman/man has one...There is always something that Satan is trying to bind us with...look long enough, listen hard enough, be sensitive enough...and you will discover it. You may be in denial about your own problem, ashamed, but don't be, we all have them, but Jesus wants to break those ties that bind...by her faith she was made whole...
Satan is always going to be trying to drain you with problems, but Jesus just wants us to press toward him, and give it all to him. I know that when you are in the middle of a valley, it's easier said than done, but we are to walk by faith, not by sight. press on...let your faith touch the hem of his garment.
SCRIPTURE.....JOHN 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
GOD BLESS...
~Thought to ponder~
Faith see's the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.
