Complete In Christ

When He said, "It is finished" He was! We already have everything we need in Him. Everything to be successful, prosperous, favored...I could go on and on. But why are we not experiencing all the blessings, why do we experience negative stuff? BECAUSE... Everything we think and say defines us. BECAUSE... Of our position in Christ. Our words are the most powerful force we have, what is inside of us will come out with our words and actions. What goes in must and will come out. It is imperative that we fill our mind with right thinking. As children of God we are complete in Christ, we have Jesus Holy Spirit living inside. We are Priests and Kings in His Kingdom. We have been paid for with the ultimate price, The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ bought for us our Freedom and Power to live and reign in this present world as Victors. We have all the promises in Christ Jesus.THAT IS PURE POWER. Our thoughts need to be trained up to think on the things of God. [phil 4:8] What we say as Holy Spirit filled children of God "Will Affect what is manifested in the earthly realm. We as children of the most high God have no business speaking out curse words...These words will have affect...They will manifest an outcome, gone bad. For instance; I heard a person recently say a curse word directed at her unborn baby boy, She damned her son. I was speechless...I woke up at five in the morning praying for this New Mom and her Baby boy. She had know Idea what she was saying and causing. Our words have spiritual ramifications in the causal realm. (The next words taken from the book Commanding your Morning; Page 3.) [Once you understand that the spiritual realm is the "causal realm," you will begin to grasp the massive power of your thoughts, ideas, words, and prayers-- spiritual things that engineer, mold, and craft the current and future state of your temporal existence. ]These words will have an affect on that child. The words are already having an affect, we need to know who we are in Christ. Now we must preemptivley pray for this child, because the damning process is coming around to the earthly realm. Thankfully nothing can prevail against God's spoken Word! There are tons of scripture about right thinking and guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. I really wish I would of known about the power of the word when my kids were small, I'm sure We as a family could of avoided so many negative outcomes. Why do things happen negatively...This is one reason. These thoughts and blog post taken from inspiration by the Holy Spirit and the book Commanding your Morning, by Cindy Trimm.

Stream; float, wave in the air.

I hope all of you had an awesome Summer. I'm so sorry to have not blogged much since early Summer Late Spring. I have been livin life! My world consists of Home Girl Stuff; Wife Mom, sister, stuff! Daughter,friend,Mentor, Stuff. Coach, Small Group Leader, Women's Ministry Participant, Stuff. And yes, I still have time to be involved with two small groups as an attendee. When I start to blog these words I see I'm very occupied as of late. All of these words come with "time" attached, and for me research and analysis goes hand in hand with all I do. I am not gainfully employed as of yet. NOPE NO paycheck for Home Girl! My Home Girl Business is very slow to take off...It is because of me, I know... God spoke to me and has a question for you, "What are "YOU" believing for?" "What is the vision He has placed in you?" Life is definitely not a mystery... it can be solved...We all have questions. "What kind of keys do you hold?" I'm not talking about your car keys or your house keys. Did you know there are "Keys" that are just within your grasp, keys that unlock your future? I'm here to tell you that you can know the mysteries of life, it will be a journey that will open so many doors that you will not even be able to scarcely take it all in! Pretty exciting huh? All it takes is faith, you know, that unseen thing! Faith is kind of like this Butterfly that just flew in my porch when I went out side for a doggy break. Think about the butterfly..., think about you..., Now be the Butterfly! "How" you ask? Well, please try to keep up with me as we delve into life as a butterfly. This will be a journey into the unseen world... There is more coming...stay tuned. You will experience life like no other!!! My Fav verses; Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith and not by sight.

Spirit of Rebellion

I thought I would blog a subject that is gripping...(litterally.) The Subject of REBELLION. For most people, they do not realize that it is possible to be plagued with this affliction. Yes... I said affliction. And I said plagued. Affliction means; to give pain or grief to, distress, trouble, vex. Plagued means; Highly contagious, affliction. To rebel means; "be contentious". The meaning of "being rebellious" is limited to the Hebrew language, as the meaning of this verb in other Semitic languages differs: "to make angry" (Aramaic), "to contend with" (Syriac), and to dispute with (Arabic), This serious problem can be CONTAGIOUS, take note; is anyone else who lives with you having the same problems with rebelling against authority...? If you have answered YES... Then, The affliction of REBELLION has spread, like a disease, all involved need the loving healing power of God's word, and the confession of sin. Rebellion is something every human deals with because we are all imperfect. We are naturally bent to rebel. And we are in a spiritual battle against the evil ones. They never stop trying to provoking us to sin. They use our human weakness to tempt us and fool us and make lies sound like the truth. Don't believe everything your heart is feeling. God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Learn to use "THE ARMOR OF GOD" ( Ephesians 6:10-18. ) Christians have been empowered by the Holy Spirit, to live in power, love and by self control. By renewing our minds daily partaking in the Word Of God, He will give us the ability to be able to identify what the trouble is and who it is coming from. [In 2 Corinthians 10:5 the word says; We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.] The only Correction for the problem, is the Word Of God and knowing it backward and forward. Find Christian Small Groups to join, this will help you to live out your christian life and "Experience in Community" instead of all alone. Seek out churches that have these kind of programs that are designed to promote fellowship and spiritual growth, where you can confide in people to pray for you, and to mentor you, when you are in need... And don't forget our Pastors who week after week prepare from their hearts what God gives them to share for our encouragement, refreshment and growth, they pour out their lives for the sheep.(US.) REBELLION was initiated in the beginning when Lucifer, feeling equal with God rebelled and took with him 1/3rd of the angels from heaven, He is master at persuasion. A few examples of rebellion: you may be in rebellion against God or authority if you are; Angry and confused... If you are stubborn and fighting to get your own way all the time, or, are rejecting wise godly counsel...If you are not satisfied... If you are disputing the ones that are in authority to you ...If you purposely disobey the ones who are in authority over you... If this was a test, How would you score?

Wonderful White Bread

Hey everyone, Today you can make Wonderful White Bread in your bread maker. I was sick of not having fresh bread whenever I wanted it, so... I figured out my own recipe that I could make once a week at home. Here is the recipe and pictures. The Bread Making Machine should be set on BASIC or WHITE BREAD. I had all the ingredients at home except for the Active Yeast, But all the ingredients most people have lying around in their pantries. RECIPE: 1-cup Water, 1/2 pkg. Yeast, 1- Tbs.+1/2 tsp. Sugar, 1/2 tsp. Salt, 1 Tbs. Shortening, 2 1/2 cups Flour. Throw all the ingredients in the bread maker in the same order as the recipe reads. And Voila!! YUMMY hot bread in approximately three hours! Not to mention how wonderful your house will smell !! Please note, keep any unused bread in the frig bagged tightly. Because of no preservatives, the bread will mold in a couple days if left out. P.S. This bread can be sliced thick for the worlds greatest FRENCH TOAST Yummy again !!! I'm going to make the french toast right now!!
