MY HEART FOR ADDICTIONS

My heart is heavy this day for all those people who are addicted to drugs and or alcohol.  As a mother of a recovered drug and alcoholic I know the anguish a mother( and other family members) goes through when a child of theirs is addicted and my prayers go out to you and I encourage you to continue to pray and lift that child up to the Lord daily, hour by hour.  And if you are a person bound by the evils of addiction I have these words for you today.  Question...How can you find deliverance from dependency?   By putting one foot in front of the other, turn to God and one day you will find yourself running down the road to transformation in full FREEDOM in Jesus Christ "your higher power" and Savior.
1. Admit to being powerless over your dependency......2 Corinthians 1:9
2. Realize that God who made you has the power to restore you.   Psalm 71:20-21
3. Yield your will to the will of the Lord.   Matthew 16:24-25
4 .Face reality..face your true self.    psalm 139:23-24
5. Admit your struggle with sin, both to God and to some one else.   I John 1:8
6. Accept God's help to change your patterns of the past.    I Peter 5 :6-7
7. Confess your failings and flaws.   Psalm 51:10-12
8. Ask for forgiveness of those you have offended.   Matthew 5:23-24
9.Make restitution to those you wronged.   Ezekiel 33:15-16
10. Keep a clean slate by acknowledging when you have been wrong.   Titus 2:11-12
11. Pray for God's direction for your life.    Psalm 25:4-5
12. Reach out to others with your hand and heart.  Galatians 6:2
***********************************************************************************
Sound like a 12 step program?   WELL IT IS GOD'S program for your life.  I will continue on Monday with the "DON'TS" FOR DELIVERANCE.  Tune in for the Blessings from God.

Jeff and Jimmy....you know who you are.  Listen to the voice of God.  Deliverance is yours.  I pray for you both and all who suffer.  Your families love you and are tired of seeing you clinging to the evil side of life.  You belong to God and Jesus you Savior.

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.!!!!



Be well and Be blessed my gorgeous and fabulous women of God.

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.

PRAISE HIM IN THE GLORIOUS SUNSHINE;

PRAISE HIM IN THE FREEZING DRIZZLE.

PRAISE HIM AS YOU DRIVE TO CHURCH;

PRAISE HIM AS YOU DRIVE TO THE DENTIST.

PRAISE HIM IN THE CHECKOUT LINE;

PRAISE HIM IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC.

PRAISE HIM ON THE JOB;

PRAISE HIM ON VACATION.

PRAISE HIM ON PAYDAY;

PRAISE HIM WHILE PAYING BILLS.

PRAISE HIM WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES IN THE MORNING;

PRAISE HIM WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.

PRAISE HIM FOR THE TAKE OUT FOOD OR ELEGANT DINNERS.

PRAISE HIM FOR COMPUTERS AND EMAIL.

PRAISE HIM WHEN YOU ARE 13;

PRAISE HIM WHEN YOU ARE 93.

PRAISE HIM IN THE RACKET OF A FAMILY GATHERING;

PRAISE HIM IN THE QUIETNESS OF A LONELY ROOM.

PRAISE HIM ON YOUR CD PLAYER AND CAR STEREO;

PRAISE HIM WITH FRENCH HORN AND DRUMS OR KAZOO.

PRAISE HIM WITH YOUR HEART AND VOICE OR IN SILENCE.

LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH, PRAISE THE LORD.

Be blessed and be well my fabulous and gorgeous friends.

Love Val

 



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.

Love, Val
