Health Alert!

Did you know that Mosquitos can carry many diseases now? 

This may be a good year to spray for mosquitos, especially if you live in an area that is prone to them.

Mosquitos carry many diseases much worse than Covid 19 and can be extremely large! There are also some that have managed to come to America from China. There are also research labs on mosquitos in China. According to some sources, mosquito’s kill 1 million people a year now. Some sources also say that diseases born by mosquitos infect almost one out of 10 people on earth right now.

In Florida, they intend on releasing one billion genetically modified mosquitos from Brazil. Researchers think they may kill other mosquitos, but they carry diseases like Zika and Dengue…

Just a few of the diseases that a mosquito can carry include  Zika virus, West Nile virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue, and malaria…

Who knows what they will carry tomorrow?

Pray. Be Warned and Be Ready!

To Be Loved By God?

What does that mean? What does it feel like?

I can only answer for myself. But for me it means God is always there to love me just as I am. He listens to my every worry no matter how boring. He listens as I chatter on through out the day. He answers my prayers, sometimes yes and sometimes no, but He always answers. He’s gentle with me and His mercy lasts forever, no matter what I do or say, I do not have to be afraid.

I’ve never known a love like this. God is there no matter how many times I fall, and He picks me up. The world judges me by my results. Am I a good employee? Am I good wife? A good mother? A good friend? A doer of good works? But God forgives me always, no matter how many times I fail.

Because I have put my faith in His Son Jesus Christ!

God Loves All People :)

So often we hear the question asked, “What happens to people who do not believe in Jesus?”

So let me be clear, the only way to Heaven is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ and Following Him.  That’s the only safe way, it’s the only way written about in the Bible.

Do we, as human beings who love others, hope that God makes an acception for some.   Of course we do ?.   Because we are just human beings.  But if we truly love that person, then we need to be honest with them and tell them the Truth of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible.  Because Pastor Schaeffer is right, Jesus warned us about Hell because He loved us and didn’t want us to go there.  We need to do the same for those we love.

And Jesus told us how to get to Heaven, a place He prepared  for us, for the same reason.  He loves us.  And we know that is true, because no one would suffer so for someone they didn’t love ?

A friend of mine asked me what happens to people in countries who are not Christian, such as the Middle East?  Jesus has appeared to many people in countries such as these, and will continue to do so until He comes again.  To assume that people in other countries have not had the opportunity to know and accept Jesus is a mistake.  We really don’t know what Christ does in other countries.

And this is also where Trust comes in.  We know that Jesus loves us All, no matter where we live.  Just as we know that God is Merciful and Just.  When it comes to others, we need to Trust that God will do what is right by All people, because we know that God Loves All People.

And we need to recognize that people make their choice-Heaven or Hell, during this life on earth.  And as much as we may wish to, we don’t get to make it for them, because it is a choice God gave them.

There are those who would attempt to discourage us from sharing the Great News Of Jesus Christ.  Don’t let them, for it IS Great News.  For Jesus has not only made a way to Heaven for us, He will help us in this life as well ?

The Day of the Lord!

In Zechariah 14, it speaks to us of the Last Days.  For many of us, we tend to think of Revelations, Daniel or Matthew when we think of the Last Days.  But the truth is, verses regarding the Last Days are in many places in the Bible.  It’s an important day ?

And it will come. That’s why we need to get ready and we need to help others get ready.

The Day of the Lord is coming for all of us.  Some look forward to it, and some not so much.  But no matter how we feel or whether we believe, it’s coming.

Truth has only one version!

Jesus will ultimately Save all of those who choose to accept Him.

Don’t Wait!

Zechariah 14:  1-9:

“Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.”-

Be Ready!

Will America Become Hong Kong?

And will we have the courage and faith that they have?

From Worthy Devotionals:

My Friends, claim your gifts!

Matthew 7:9-11 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

“Another great preacher whose writings I love to read is John R. Rice. He wrote, “I once imagined I was in Heaven, walking along with the Angel Gabriel. I said, “Gabe, what is that big building over there?”

“You’ll be disappointed,” he answered. “I don’t think you want to see it.” But I insisted, and he proceeded to show me floor after floor of beautiful gifts, all wrapped and ready to be sent.

“Gabriel, what are all of these?”

He said, I thought rather sadly, “We wrapped all these things, but people never called for them.”

There are gifts and an abundance of blessings to be received from heaven — but we need to claim them as our own! We receive not because we’ve asked not.

My Friends, when we ask the Lord in humility and expectation for His goodness, He will answer! Then we’ll be better equipped to do the great things He has in store for us.”

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

Faith and courage are gifts. When the times comes, and it will, we need to claim them 🙂

Encouragement For The Churches

Revelations 2: 1-3

2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.”

While it’s true that there is much criticism of the churches in Revelations, there is also much praise. Clearly, many churches have done some right :). Considering today’s churches are man-made, they are, of course, less than perfect.

But many of them are truly devoted to the Lord. And in our current world, that is not an easy task. They are staffed by men and women who love Jesus. For that alone, they are deserving of our praise and gratitude.

Clearly they can’t all be right, since there is much debate among them on the issues of our day. But they do love Jesus. And that is a great gift 🙂

One Reason The Gospel Matters!

“I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the law”-Charles Spurgeon

If we are to help people find their way to Jesus and Heaven, than we need to realize that some people need a reason to go that route. For most of us, one of the reasons is Sin. We want to go to Heaven and to lead a good life, but in order to do both, we need to be forgiven for our Sins. And that is exactly where the Gospel comes in 🙂

And it is one reason that Preachers need to Preach both the Love of the Lord and the Law of the Lord.

There is not one of us that can keep all of the Laws of God. If there was, there would be no need for Christ’s Suffering.

But because we can’t lead perfect lives (despite our best efforts), we do need Jesus & the Cross. The Gospel is Good News :). And that is why Preachers need to preach all of it!
