God's light shines on one step at a time!!!

Galatians 3:8...The scripture foresaw  that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham.

Abraham was born some 2000 years before the birth of Jesus, so he knew nothing of the gospel, which came into being only after the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord.  He could not know how Jesus would come to this earth, but he was saved by the same faith we must have to be saved today.

The righteous live by faith, in the 21st century BC or AD.  To live by faith means that we do not demand to know all the details of what God is doing or what the future holds for us.  We might like to have a searchlight that would show us what lies miles ahead on the road before us.  But God offers instead a light that shines on our path just enough to help us on our step-by-step walk with God.


I read this morning and wanted to share it with you.  Fred Davey...Pathways to God..December 21, 2011

Faith in what we cannot see.....keep on believing in our Lord in all things.  He is with us always.

God's GRACE

My church saints and I have recently suffered a sad tragedy with the passing of our Pastor's daughter.  She was walking and got hit and killed by a car and they drove away.  She was 39 years old with 2grown daughters and a young son and younger daughter , a grieving mother and father(our Pastor), sister, aunts, uncles, husband, cousins, co-workers, relatives, and close friends.  All who will grieve , cry and never forget.  I personally knew Dee.  She visited our church several times coming to Florida from her hometown of West Franklin, Illinois.  She accepted Jesus as her personal Savior right in our church one Sunday morning.  I recall the family rejoicing around the alter.  God was good to them that day and the days to follow.  It gives the believer comfort knowing that their loved one is now in the arms of Jesus although the earthly human side of us is grief stricken.  God's grace will be with them to comfort and guide those who are left to run the race here on earth till Jesus calls them HOME.  There will Dee be waiting for her family who know Jesus.  Reunited again by the love of Jesus,  What comfort knowing you will meet again.  Do you know for sure that you are going to
 heaven?  Accept Jesus as your personal Savior and be sure of it!!!  Ask Him into your heart right now.  Say this simple prayer...Jesus I know that you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for me so that I could have life everlasting.  I believe you will come again  and that you are part of the Trinity, The Father Son and Holy Ghost .  Come into my heart....Amen and thank you.   If you prayed that prayer contact me through this blog and I will guide you through the best decision of your life you ever have made.......God's GRACE...=   God's Riches At Christ's Expense.

AND SO IT BEGINS

Well... the Thanksgiving holiday is over and so it begins the hustle bustle of....The Christmas season.  We are reminded just why we celebrate this wonderful holiday.....Jesus came into the world to save us from sin.  He came as the King of Kings in a lowly manger.  Can you imagine Mary, His mother?  She did not imagine the birth of her first born to be in a stable.  What a great gift.  Think of this gift to you that lasts forever.  Give your heart to Him this Christmas season and He will give you the gift that keeps on giving!!  He wants your fellowship and companionship.  Pray the simply prayer and ask Him into your life.  You will not be sorry.  John 3:16...For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son...Jesus....../


As the saying goes...JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cast your every care!!!

  God's promise.......He is faithful and will take care of you, show you an escape out of a bad situation
                                or feeling of desparation..


   Your job.....          Give IT to Him with Praise and thanksgiving!!!!!


God's PROMISE your ACTION


Be well and Be blessed I am praying for you and God loves you.    Val

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgives all you iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.......and so on.   This Thanksgiving week this says it all and warrants thanksgiving and praise.
I wish you all a wonderful day of Thanksgiving with your families.  Do not forget to give thanks to our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Just one scripture

There is only one thing to say today.....memorize this verse in scripture and it is from-

 2 Thessalonians 3:3   The Lord is faithful and he will strengthen and protect (me) from the evil one.

Put that in your heart and mind.  The evil one is out to kill and destroy..  protect yourself.!!!!

Warfare weapons

Good day my fabulous and gorgeous women of God...
Do have on your weapons of warfare to fight the flaming arrows of the evil one?

Each day is a new day and you never know what arrows are coming your way.  the devil is out there trying to kill and destroy....NO< NO< NO....not me  I have on my armour...Faith and a sword.
The shield of Faith ....Hebrews 11:1.....when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have been given faith to believe.  Each day we build on that faith by reading the Word of God...Read it, chew it, swallow it and hold it in your heart.  God's promises ....helps develop your faith, acting on God's promises.
The sword of the Spirit..which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6 : 16-17)

One is the weapon of defence and the other a weapon of attack!!!
Develop those weapons and USE them when the enemy comes at you.  IT WORKS  Glory to God


Bye for now, I love you and so does your Father in Heaven

EVERYONE WHO HAS BREATH GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE HIM

Ephesians 5:20....Giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

What a wonderful request of our Lord..simply give thanks for all things.....easier said than done.

Think about all God does for us.  Shouldn't we be on our knees all day thanking Him?  Well we literally don't have to be on our knees but even as we do our daily chores or at our work place or walking down the street.....give thanks and praise.  try it..it pleases God the Father.

Fear Not!!!!!

Our Ladies Bible Study on Tuesday mornings has been such a blessing to me.  I co-lead with a special women of God and good friend, Karen.  She lead the study while I was gone up north with my precious grand babies.  God has given me a series of teachings  to encourage women.  Last week we talked about "IS GOD ABLE?"  Well I would say so more than we can imagine...Ephesians 3:20 was the key scripture.  When facing what seems an impossible situation  God will see us through.  Read the scripture and place it in your heart and mind to recall in times of desperate situations.  This Tuesday's lesson is entitled "When you are in the dark and afraid"...Key scripture is Isaiah 41:10.  I encourage you to look it up and place it in your heart.  I will leave you with these words by June Hunt..."THE GREATER THE FEAR, THE LESS WE ARE CONTROLLED BY FAITH.  THE GREATER OUR FAITH, THE LESS WE ARE CONTROLLED BY FEAR."   Which is you?

What, All and More

Ephesians 3:20.....Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. KJV

WHAT I ask...ALL I ask

MORE than I ask

Immeasurably MORE than ALL I ask

WHAT I can imagine

ALL I can imagine

MORE than I can imagine

Immeasurably MORE than ALL I ask or imagine

WOW>>> that is a great promise of God.  Are you Radically Relying on God to be your everything in all situations?   I hope so.  Don't get in His way, trust Him, let Him achieve in your life what He wants and DO NOT insist on doing it "your way".

Be well and be blessed my gorgeous and fabulous women of God,

Love, Val

RADICAL RELIANCE

Look to Jesus when you are facing what seems an impossible situation.  In Exodus 14..Moses and the people of Israel were at the Red Sea with Pharaoh's soldiers gaining on them from the rear...where to go?  Impossible situation ..it seemed....Moses cried out to God for help...God delivered and parted the Red Sea so they all could pass. " Radical Reliance" on God.  Abraham age 100 and Sarah age 90..were promised a child from God...impossible situation.....they relied on God.."Radical Reliance".  The God of impossible situations will give you His guidance when you face a "Red Sea" situation  or a , what seems an impossible PROMISE from God as Abraham did....".Radical Reliance on God".  He can part your Red Sea and full fill His promise to you...You can scale walls but you need His reached out arm of strength.  Call on and rely on Him for everything in your life.   Give God the Glory.  that's what we were created for ...He knows us best..."Father Knows BEST"

God's blessings and be well my gorgeous friends...so good to be home and with you again.

God's Gifts

Our twins are amazing and I am not just saying that because I am their grandmother.  God has given Meghan and Brett the MOST wonderful gift of all....life of two babies and a boy and girl to boot.  Jessica is my new girlfriend and we have really bonded.  She is all girl at this point.  Will sit with you and play, read a book or just enjoy each other.  She dances, sings(la la la la ), talks (dabble dabble )  Wish I knew what she was thinking but sometimes I know exactly what she is saying.  And there is Jake. the Jakester.  ALL BOY and I believe he is genius....to soon to test but he has a vocabulary of about 20 words and you only have to show him something once and he can do it.....very active, attached to mommy (but with distraction I can keep him occupied).  He truly is a smart cutie  BUT alot of work...doesn"t sleep very well either....Jessica loves to sleep...goes in easy for a nap or at bedtime  BUT not Jakester....OMGosh...  God bless Meghan and Brett, they are well oiled machine with the two of them.  What gifts they are.  Meghan is a wonderful mother and her heart is caring and loving toward her family.  My son, Brett is truly a good man...great husband and good father.  I will continue to pray for them as they journey through family-hood.

Well my Fabulous and Gorgeous friends.....Be well and be blessed till we meet in October(18th) .


Love, Val

Good to be back

Finally I am connected again to you.  God has been so good during this journey.  First we had "IRENE" to re-root us from the beach house to RI.  We finally got into the cottage the second week for only 2 days of sun.  It rained all the other =days.  Gotta love New England.!!!!  However, our grandbabies were with us and we had fun.  Their first birthday party was on Saturday the 10th of September and we had a good time.  Everyone left the cottage Sat night.  Dane I relaxed and got ready for him to return to Florida and I went to Connecticut and visited with friends.  I also visited my CT church, Calvary Christian Center in New Britain for Wed night service.  It was good to see some familiar God"s people.  I am going to be speaking in their Women's October meeting.  God has given me a great message for them entitled " KEEP WALKING ON THE WATER".  I will share it with you at a later time.  This past Saturday I traveled to NY to be with my grandbabies and watch them while Meghan(their mommy) is working for a few weeks.  OMGosh...they are a hand full but wonderful at the same time.  Busy little bees.  Nap time now so I have time to talk to ya 'all.  I am reminded of the love God has for us all the time.  I was sick when I arrived here and didn't know how I was going to do my duties...but I "reached out, asked, believed" and God has answered my pray.  I feel good...Praise Him.  He is there for us if we just ask and believe and wait for the result.

Well my Fabulous and Gorgeous Women of God....BE WELL AND BE BLESSED.....BE KIND TO SOMEONE TODAY and watch God bless you back.  Miss you all~~~


In His Love,  Val

STILL.NO POWER..

Still no power at the Connecticut shoreline and we have NOT been able to occupy the cottage that we rented for two weeks. We talked to the electric company yesterday and they said possibly Sunday(9/4) at midnight or sometime by Wednesday (9/7)...What a disappointment.  I haven't even seen my grand babies. I for sure will be with them Monday night either in NY or at the cottage.  We are spending time with our son in Rhode Island where there is power.   Speaking of POWER...our Lord died for us and was resurrected on the third day.  That same resurrection power is our for the asking.I Peter 1:3....good scripture to put into our mind for keeps...

I love you all today and wish you a wonderful Labor Day rest with your families.  I WILL be with mine one place or another.  What a vacation...plans all Arie!!!!

BE WELL AND BLESSED MY GORGEOUS AND FABULOUS FRIENDS

LOVE, VAL

AFTER STORM IRENE

 Good morning my Fabulous and Gorgeous friends:

Today is day 6 of our vacation and we still have not been able to occupy the cottage at the Ct shoreline because of power outage.  Week one of our wonderful time at the beach(that I so love) has been altered.  Our son Peter took this week off to be with us at the beach.  We have been staying with him in Rhode Island until we can occupy the cottage.  The power company says power will be restored by Saturday.  Who really knows?  GOD does.  Our son and daugther-in-law and twins are hoping to arrive at the beach on Saturday as we planned.  But again...who knows?...GOD does. All in all so far our vacation has been challenging but the scripture says in Romans 8:28.....And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.  The best made plans are sometimes diverted.   This is one of those times.  I miss you all in Florida but IRENE has rattled a few made plans.  The weather, however, has been gorgeous since Irene left the state.   Well, that's it for now...Keep in touch and know that I .am thinking of you all.

BE WELL AND BE BLESSED AND BE KIND TO SOMEONE TODAY!!!!!

The Names of God`

How do we find out the true nature of God?  Or should I say where do we find out?  Study the Word of God..  the BIBLE....Have you ever tried to tell a non-believer who God really is?  A buddy, friend, faithful companion.  Do you portray Him to fit the people around you that you are talking to?  Who does God say He is?  "I AM WHO I AM"..... He will reveal himself in a variety of ways in the scriptures..  God desires intimacy with us.  He is both masculine and feminine, in the Old and New Testaments.  His bibilical names are both as well.   Let's look at some names.  First...ELOHIM...the one True God.. His elevated status above all names.  the beginning and the end.  The Majestic Ruler over all..   EL-SHADDAI...translated...God Almighty.    YAHWEH....the most personal name that God gives Himself.  YHWH  no vowels...it evolved into Jehovah.  The word Yahweh means   LORD!!!  Adonai("Lord").   I am the LORD Yahweh...Yahweh is the name God uses when he comes to dwell among his people....ADONAI designates Yahweh as Owner and Master.

ABBA....Father...  God is the Father of Jesus and the Father of those who follow Jesus. He is our ABBA.

So you see, God is everything to us.....Elohim to Abba.  Praise Him forever.

Lord I want to know you, reveal yourself to me through your Word.  Dwell in me, rule over me, your are God Almighty.  Elohim, Yahweh, El-Shaddai, Adonai and Abba, Father.  I love you and belong to you.

BE WELL AND BE BLESSED my goregous and fabulous women friends of mine.  Be kind to somone today and love your Abba Father.

Love, Val

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

PSALM 138:7......Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;  You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.

WOW.....  isn't that a great promise?  REACH out for His hand......now all we have to do is remember it and use this promise when troubles hit our lives.

It always amazes me when I hear a believer having trouble and they seem so derailed and don't
 know what to do....just reach out your hand for HIS hand and hold on.  just like Peter in the boat...step out of the boat, keep your eyes on JESUS  and walk.....if you loose your focus and start to sink...reach for the hand of JESUS .  If you are fighting the enemy...He will stretch out His hand against the wrath.

Thank you Jesus for being there for me ALWAYS....
Though I walk in the midst of trouble..THOU art there.


BE WELL AND BE BLESSED, my friends, my FABULOUS and GORGEOUS friends. 

Be kind to someone today and tell them what Psalm 138:7 says.  encourage them in the love of God..

Love, Val

CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

It is essential to be with other Christians.  We encourage each other, help, pray with, laugh with, because we are like-minded, we follow Christ. 

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. For we are members of His body, of His Flesh and of His Bones."
 Ephesians 5:2,19,10


That's how we should be with our brothers and sisters in the Lord.  We live in this world but we are not of this world...We belong to Jesus.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL DISCOURAGED!!!

I don't think we could never be discouraged again ...impossible.  Life just is not like that...We strive to be uplifted each day, but circumstances arise that gets us down.  the key is NOT to let the circumstances rob us of  our joy in Christ.

Isaiah 51:11....."So the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads.  they shall obtain joy and gladness; sorrow and sighing shall FLEE away.

I love that scripture....sorrow and sighing shall FLEE away....Yeahhhhh!!!!  Bye bye sorrow, my Jesus has taken it away...sing praises....

OTHER scriptures for you to look up and meditate on when discouraged.

I Peter 1:6-9, Philippians 4:6-8, Psalm 138:7, John 14:1, 14:27, 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, Hebrews 10:35-36,  galatians 6:9, Psalm 31:24  and Psalm 27:1-14

BE WELL AND BLESSED MY FABULOUS AND GORGEOUS FRIENDS, AND BE KIND TO SOMEONE TODAY!!!

A Real Relationship with God

by Joyce Meyer

When you think of religion, what comes to your mind—a set of rules, regulations and obligations or a deep, intimate relationship with God?
I like to consider myself someone who has a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I believe He died so we could have a living, vital relationship with God, not just a bunch of rules and regulations we're forced to follow.
Yes, there are certain guidelines God wants us to follow, but His purpose in giving them is to protect us from the consequences of sin.
When we have a real relationship with God through Christ, life gets exciting because He stirs up a passion inside us to love people—and we don't have to struggle to do the things He calls us to do. It just happens naturally.

God Is Not Mad at You

If there's one thing people need to hear over and over again, it's this: God loves you. That's all there is to it. He may not like everything you do, but He's never going to stop loving you.
God is not impressed with your works at all. What He cares about is your heart.
I believe the greatest thing God wants to hear from us is, "I love You, Lord. Thank You for everything You've done in my life. I want to do what's right. Keep teaching me."
Many of us don't pray and ask God for what we need because we don't think we have a right to ask. But the Bible says God wants us to learn how to receive His mercy.
Hebrews 4:15 says we have a High Priest, a perfect Savior, who understands our weaknesses. He's been tempted just like we are, yet He never sinned.
Verse 16 says we can come fearlessly and confidently before God in prayer to receive His mercy and be forgiven.

New Creature, New Features

"Legally" you become a Christian when you make the decision to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. And after you receive Him, God begins to change you into a brand-new creation.
We shouldn't be making up religious rules to live by, like having to read our Bible every single day; nor should we do whatever we want to because we know we're going to heaven when we die.
Christianity is about living a vibrant, exciting life in Christ, and it goes hand in hand with developing a personal relationship with Him. Jesus wants us to be in love with Him.

Know What Really Matters

I was thinking one day about how judgmental I used to be about the way some people dressed. Not long ago, I might have thought that I couldn't wear jeans and teach, but my son said to me, "Do you really think that God anoints polyester more than denim?"
It took some things like that to shock me into the realization that I was just holding on to a religious attitude, when God wanted us to freshen up our look in order to reach more people.
Sure, it's good to dress nicely when we go to church. But the bottom line is, we shouldn't be so focused on our outward appearance that we lose sight of our main goal: developing a close, personal relationship with God.

Living Your Life with God

God wants to be involved in everything we do. He wants us to fellowship with Him, which means communicating with Him throughout our day just like we do with someone who's our close friend or family member.
Knowing God loves us, loving Him, spending time with Him, and being grateful for what He's done and is doing in our lives can help us have a real relationship with Him.

Jesus is your Forgiveness!!!!!!

Jesus is your Savior, Lord, Love and your Peace....He is your forgiveness...There is nothing that you bring to Jesus that He won't FORGIVE.....Thank you for that.
 When you were a child, were you ever afraid to go your parents and ask for forgiveness?  Maybe it was something you did and you knew they were going to be upset with you.  I can remember in my teen years being so afraid to ask for forgiveness for involving my father in a situation(not to mention)....I was up in my bedroom and I could hear my father yelling with frustration in his voice at the situation and wondering how it happened.  I remained in my room ...sooooo scared but offered no answers to him.  The next morning I was asked if I knew anything.....I said "no".  Oh my...days went by and I was ridden with shame....I finally got the nerve up to face my Dad and confess my involvement.  We talked and he forgave me, but not without correctness.  Our heavenly Father is always there for us and because of His son Jesus dying on the cross and baring all our sins, we can go to Him ANYTIME and ask for forgiveness.  He will forgive and forget!! Isn't that fabulous?  And forget!!! WOW forget......

Here are some scriptures that promise us God's forgiveness...take time to look them up and put them in your heart.  My favorite promise is this...Hebrews 8:12...."For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."

Others to ponder on:  Mark 11:25, Isaiah 43:25, 1:18, 55:7,  I John1:9, Colossian 3:13, and        Jeremiah 13:8.

There is something healing about FORGIVENESS....if you hold something against some one it will eat at you....forgive them.... just as Jesus forgave you and remembers no more!!!!

BE WELL AND BE BLESSED

Good morning my fabulous and gorgeous women:

I trust your weekend was restful.  This past Sunday(yesterday) Pastor Cathy preached a powerful message of GOD supplies our EVERY need. I am going to continue that message with the Promises of GOD  for you.

The first being....JESUS IS YOUR...... SAVIOR...Is He yours?

I trust you all have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior....If you have not done that, these promises will mean nothing to you.  Open up your heart and ask Jesus to come in; if you believe He is the son of God, , was crucified, died for our sins and on the third day He arose from the dead, then you are saved.  If you believe what I just said..and you confessed it with your mouth....Jesus has come into your heart and life.  Praise God!!!!  Contact me and I will direct you and pray with you.

NOW....Jesus is your Savior....you can now rely on His promises.
Titus 3:3-6......."Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR.  NKJV(New King James Version)
Look up the following scriptures to see God's Word of promise to you that Jesus is the Savior!!!

John 3:16...Luke 1:47...1John 4:14...John 4:42b, 6:47...Luke 19:10...Romans 3:24-25, 10:9...
Ephesians2:8-9...2Corinthians 5:17...2Timothy 1:8b-9..and Psalm 106:8

THEY ARE WATCHING OUR LIVES....YAH.. THEY ARE!!!!

Have you been praying for your loved ones, especially for the salvation of your children?

Psalm 78:4....We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord.

My children are grown now but we raised them in the ways of the Lord.  Some how when they reach college age and into their 20s   they stray, much to the sadness of parents.  Why?  We then begin the daily prays to our Lord for their return OR for their salvation.  Days, weeks, months and even years go by....no answer.  We must in addition to our prayers live the life in Jesus so that THEY can see.  THEY ARE WATCHING!!

Psalm 71:18 says....."Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, will I declare the power to the next generation."

You see, God's timing is not our timing.  Don't ya just want it now?  We live in an instant society and we loose focus if it does not happen when we want it to happen...BUT saints...be patient, keep sending those prayers for your children up to Heaven and ask God to answer in our time here on earth so we can see it.   You might not see the answer so be faithful. Great is God's faithfulness.

NOW...my fabulous and gorgeous friends....BE WELL AND BE BLESSED and remember who loves you  GOD...and me too.  Be kind to someone today.

Love, Val

Don't quit, and Don't give up!!!!!

Good morning all you fabulous and gorgeous women,

I was reading this morning in Mark 5 about the woman who was healed of the issue of blood after 12 years of suffering.  She had seen many doctors and suffered many things, and spent all her money hoping to to get some relief, but nothing was better and got worse.  She heard that Jesus was in town and said... "If only I could touch His garment I surely would be healed".  She pressed towards Him and touched His clothes.  Now Jesus was surrounded by many people , the Bible says they THRONGED him...meaning they all pressed around him, all touching Him.  BUT, Jesus felt her touch out of all those surrounding Him and said WHO TOUCHED ME?.....He said it again..>WHO TOUCHED ME?  He looked around to see her.  He felt the touch and the power of His self heal her.  The woman (verse 33)fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him the truth. Jesus said to her(verse 34).."Daughter, thy FAITH hath made you whole; go in peace, and be whole of the plague."   WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 how she must have felt.  Why did Jesus heal her?  She believed Jesus..she trusted Him. and she did not give up!!

Oh God wouldn't do that for me, we say!!! Doubt creeps in(and we know where that comes from..the devil)  to kill and destroy....  The Word of God  is powerful....speak it and come against the devil.  There is power in the "mouth".     Step out in faith and stand on the promises of God.  DRIVE doubt out by saying I BELIEVE that God will do exactly what He says He will do!!!!  Heal in the name of Jesus.  Jesus' stripes proves that>   Glory to God.  makes me shout JOY and GLORY!!!!!! It happened in my own life. Over 38 years I prayed for my husband to be healed of pain.  I did not quit and in June, 2011 GOD healed him.  Glory and praise.  That is a story in its self for some day.
Release your faith by SAYING, PRAYING AND DOING.  It works!!!

BE WELL AND BE BLESSED  today and remember who loves you...GOD does and me too.
Reach out and touch some one today with God's love.

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS

Romans 8:35-37....."Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?   As it is written:  For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."  NO, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loves us."

WOW!!! more than conquerors.....are you more than a conqueror?  We have already defeated the devil.

Don't be afraid of bad news or sadness that comes your way.  We can overcome THROUGH  CHRIST!!  The key word is through....we go through it with Jesus...we are not suck there or never coming out ...we are going THROUGH the situation.  Praise God, glory to Him.  Don't be suck in grief, illness, sadness, or a bad place...call it out, pray it through and trust in our Lord....oh how glorious is He.  He will see you through....TRUST and BELIEF!!!!!!!
************************************************************************************

I want to remind you that on August 2, 2011 we will resume our Tuesday's Gods Handmaiden's, Ladies Bible study in Kufeldt Hall beginning at 10am.   It will be Lysa Terkeurst's DVD teaching on

WEEKEND YEAHHHHH!!!!!!

It's the weekend and want to REST after five days of VBS.....Rest in the Lord.  While in His rest I am going to mow the lawn....before it gets to HOT.  Heard from my friend Karen Boram and she and David are in the car on their way back to us here in Leesburg and Tavares.  I have missed her so.  She leaves her family with tears and sadness but is anxious to return to their home here.  SLCC has missed her and David so much.  As she helped her mother settle a few issues she now can feel that she did her best as the daughter.  Oh the passages we women go through in our lives.  thank you Jesus for your forever LOVE and guidance.  WELL>>>> you fabulous and gorgeous women....BE WELL AND BE BLESSED and have a wonderful weekend with your families.  Go to church Sunday and worship our risen Savior, be kind to someone today and I will talk to you Monday.

Love,  Val

Lord, I trust you for the strength I need!!!

Judges 6:14....The Lord turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have....Am I not sending you?"

In today's message from "Pathways To God",  is the story of Gideon and the Lord telling him to go and save the Israelites.  Gideon said I am weak and not of favor in my family, how can I do this? 
Are there times in your life when God has told you to do something and you think you do not have the strength to do it?  I am sure all of us have said that.  BUT GOD will not send you if He doesn't have the faith in you to perform the task. As the scripture says..GO IN THE STRENGTH YOU HAVE>  You might get in the middle of the task and run out of steam...God will be there to give you strength to carry on.  If He is sending you...you can achieve!!  Listen to the voice of God!!
                                                      
For example...in my life there have been times when I heard God telling me to do something and I thought it is impossible.  Now... I can do one of two things....I can ignore the command(not a good idea) or I can step out on faith and believe I can ....God is with me always.  The results will bless you!!!

Let's talk about dream vs. vision....I believe that dreams are our own, in our minds....visions, I believe come from God.  Understand?  Your vision will dictate your purpose and direction in life.  Does that make sense?  I have dreams of  a great future but God has given a vision for ministry to women.  He is directing my paths and hopefully my dreams will come true....I know  if I follow and trust in His wisdom and strength ...His vision for me will become my vision and my dreams can come true.
LORD, I trust you for the strength I need, in Jesus' name.

Well my fabulous and gorgeous friends....BE WELL AND BE BLESSED....reach out to another women today....bless her and you will be blessed!!!!!!

Love, Val

Psalm 13...Call, Pray, Turn to God

First of all I want to tell you that last night at our 4th night at VBS,,,,,,over 11 young people gave their heart to JESUS during the nights activities and end of the night alter invitation!!!!!!!!  PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!  The saints in heaven are rejoicing still this morning as we speak.  Thank you Lord for your unmerciful grace.  Continue to pray for these precious young ones as they begin their walk with Jesus for the enemy will try to kill, destruct and destroy their commitment.
**********************************************************************************
Today's lesson:
Recently this week I talked about not hearing from God for a few days.  I said BE STILL and know He is there with you even if you can't hear His voice.  This morning I was led to read Psalm 13.  AMAZING how God works.  Verses 1-2 is the CALL to the Lord..David is calling out to God...in verses 3-4 David is PRAYING  "Hear me , oh Lord, lighten my eyes...." and in verses 5-6 David TURNS to God and rejoices.

When you are in need or in a dark place...CALL upon our Lord....get into your prayer room and PRAY...you may not get an immediate answer...and then SING your praises to the almighty God..." I will sing unto the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me."

WOW....what a day, Ladies   BE WELL AND BE BLESSED my fabulous, gorgeous women and be kind to someone today and watch God bless you.  Don't always look to be blessed...you be a blessing to someone else and WATCH what happens and remember who loves you...GOD and me too!!!!

Forever praying for you,  Val

Find The True meaning By Asking

Yesterday I gave you some hints as to how to have an effective Bible Study...Pray, take notes, keep a spiritual diary...etc.  today lets talk about finding the true meaning of the scripture you just read.  ASK:
1.  What is the subject of this passage?
2.  Who are the persons revealed?  Who is speaking?
3.  What is the key verse of the passage read?
4.  What does the passage say about JESUS?
5.  Are there sins for me to confess and forsake?
6.  What is God commanding me to obey?
7.  Is there a promise for me to believe?
8.  Are there instructions for me to follow?
9.  Is there a prayer I should pray?

 Write these questions down  and as you read a chapter or two: ask these questions?   I promise you it will help you understand.  After all our goal is to GET TO KNOW GOD better.

As I get older it becomes harder to memorize and recall scripture.  I understand that.  However, try to memorize a verse a day.  Place it in your heart and read it over again.  Psalms 119:11 says.."The word have I hid in mine heart, that I may not sin against thee."     Hide it in your heart and mind so that when you come against the enemy you can fight it with the WORD of God.  That's how Jesus fought the devil while in the desert... with scripture.  The Word is powerful.
FINALLY:  Obey the Word of God....2Timothy 3:16  says...."All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

Thank you for "tuning" in to this site and I thank God for His leading.
Now BE WELL AND BE BLESSED!!!!!
Be kind to someone today and take Jesus with you where ever you go!!  
Love, Val

How to have an EFFECTIVE BIBLE STUDY

Have you ever wondered why your prayer time with God is not effective?  Don't know just how to pray, time in prayer is not all it can be?  In the next few days I will be sharing some great tips that have helped me with my devotional time with our Lord and Savior.

2Timothy 2:15......."Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."  Present yourself a Workman who does not need to be ashamed and correctly handles the the word of truth.  How we read the Word, digest it, and what we do with it.

I will give you some steps to take to make your time with God more effective.

A.  Begin with prayer....Psalm 119:18, John 16:13-15  Briefly saying.. take the Word into your heart.  
God will show you the truth...ALWAYS...  He will show you the truth!!!!!

B.  Take notes...of what you have read..jot them down...writing down the words will help you remember the scripture.  Read the Bible passage through slowly once silently, and them read it again aloud.

C.  Keep a spiritual diary

That is what I have for you today...tomorrow I will help you through your Bible Study...find the true meaning of asking.

Until we meet again...BE WELL AND BE BLESSED.  Be kind to someone today and Praise the Lord every minute of the day.

Is what God asks to BIG for me?

Hearing the voice of God comes from knowing Him.  As I said previously...read the Bible daily, talk to God all the time and pray without ceasing.  Practice, practice, practice.  What if the answer you are waiting for is too big  to do?  What if what I'm hearing from God is beyond me?  Only by god's Divine intervention can it happen.  Not by our power or strength.  We'll give God all the glory!!!!! Sayings like;    " I can't, I'm a fool, I'm not smart enough" are not the right reactions...We need to turn those sayings into:  GOD CAN, GOD TRUSTS ME, AND GOD KNOWS I CAN HANDLE THE TASK!!!!!!!  I always liked the saying: "GOD WILL ONLY GIVE ME WHAT I  CAN HANDLE, BUT DOES HE HAVE TO TRUST ME SO MUCH?"   Yes He does trust you and He will be with you all the way through the task at hand.  Holy Spirit fall down on me!!!!!!Fall sown on YOU!!!! I pray.

Ask yourself these five questions according to scripture......look up and read them..  It is a starting place in your walk with God.  the more you practice listening for God's voice, the more it becomes a natural part of your daily life.  It will be pleasing to God.

Philippians 1:9....John 15:8..2Thessalonians 1:3....2Peter 1:5 and 1Thessalonians 4:1

All you fabulous women have a wonderful weekend and remember who loves you...GOD and me too!
Be Well and Be Blessed.............................val

On the path to knowing that I hear God's voice

Good morning to all you Fabulous women.  As we continue to study about hearing God's voice, we have asked does it line up with scripture and is it consistant with God's character?.  We know by reading the Word, digesting it and meditating on that Word we will get closer to God and know Him better.  Today we look into getting confirmations that God is speaking to you.  We are God's children and as a child knows its parent voice and listens.. so we will know God's voice.  We also get confirmation through other messages.  Bible studies, sermons, TV preaching or a friend in the Lord giving you confirmation.  John 10:3-4  says...".The watchmen opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice.  He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice."
 What does this mean?.....Jesus opens the gate for us to have direct communication with God and we listen to his voice.  God calls us, speaks to us personally and provides direction...Jesus goes ahead of  us always interceding on our behalf and if we have spent time with God(in prayer) WE WILL KNOW HIS VOICE.
Ladies...know your Savior....your life will change forever.  Give Him thanks and praise every waking minute in every circumstance.  He will never leave you.  He is by your side.  Praise God!!!!!
Tomarrow we will conclude this lesson and see what is beyond you  and how it pleases God.  Now...share God's love with someone today.  BE WELL AND BE BLESSED!!!    Val

Knowing Gods voice

Yesterday I began a little study on "do you know and hear the voice of God?  Last night I was with believers in a discipleship class and we were talking about hearing God's voice.  I said in my post yesterday that it is almost never audible...I was not entirely right.  Several members in the group have "heard" God's audible voice.  Praise God for that.  I can only teach what I know through my experiences.  I know God's still small voice and it is in my heart of hearts.  So...with that...this is what I want you to know today...Romans 12:2 ..."And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect , will of God."  We can only know the voice of God if we know His character and that comes by studying the Word> digest it, chew it and put it in your heart and mind forever and when you need to hear the voice of God you will know it because you know the character of God.  Praise His name.   Have a wonderful day and walk in the love of Jesus.  BE WELL AND BE BLESSED women in Gods service(WINGS).  until tomorrow.....I love you and so does God.   Val

This July 16th, Saturday .....come with us to Altamonte Hilton to THE AMAZING WOMEN MONTHLY CONFERENCE.  IT IS A WONDERFUL TIME WITH OTHER WOMEN WHO LOVE THE LORD.  You can register FREE...of charge....online at Amazing Women.com.  I know you will be blessed.

Do you know and hear God's voice?

Today's scripture is JOSHUA 24:24
.....".the Lord our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey"
In the next few days I will be talking about how to know and hear the voice of God.  It most always is not audible but as you get closer to God and grow in the knowledge of Him you will just know it in your heart.  To begin:  in your prayer time with our Lord....be still and know that He is God....ask Him to reveal Himself to you.....WAIT, BE STILL......you will know in your heart the "voice:.  It takes practice and practice ... read the WORD and talk to Him..TRY IT....It works and joy will come!!!  Have a blessed day...Ladies.....be well and be blessed....share your blessing with others today.
