  PART #1
  
  I cannot prove it anyway, or confirm any source the story I am about to share. Yet the possibility for such an encounter was certainly within the realm of possibility.
  
  Let’s travel back into time. Just after JESUS has risen from the dead. We know he was seen by at least 500 people. There in lies the possibility for this encounter to take place. During this 40 days, JESUS spent most of his time teaching anyone it would cross his path for He knew time was short. JESUS was always the MASTER OF HIS DOMAIN. This would be no different, except it would have a greater sense of urgency. 
  
  One day, while JESUS sat at the sea of Galilee, perhaps, watching Peter James and John Fisher. A man walks by and notices the scars Jesus bore ( REMEMBER THOMAS). This particular man was sold into slavery for bills he could not pay. He bore the scars from his slave master. He saw that JESUS bore scars and put two n two together. In his mind Jesus must have been a slave and earned his freedom also.
  
  The man asks if he may sit down and rest. JESUS seeing an opportunity here,says yes my friend sit down and rest if you stay for in a short time my friends will bring us dinner. So the man sits down and introduces himself as Nigel. JESUS says it is nice to meet you Nigel. The man engaged in small talk,but he really wanted to get to the scars. A little bit into the conversation Nigel makes a statement based on his flawed deductions. He says we have much in common. At this point JESUS has not told Nigel His name. ( remember he his mind made up that JESUS was a poor manager of his money. Perhaps a bad business man. JESUS smiles and say what do we have in common. Nigel remarks……… TO BE CONTINUED

  PART #1
  
  Time is a liar and a thief. As One Literally Stand At LIFES STARTING LINE. It allows you to think you have lots on it. Hence the lie. When the reality is We are but a vapor burned up in the morning sun. So I am tricked into thinking there is no hurry to do anything specific at this time As we are young and we have a whole life to prepare for such things. So we believe the liar and play roulette with the thief. Time seems to tick slowly by, no alarm here says the liar. It’s just the nature of life. Plenty of time no need to panic now. You’re still so young. So I just keep moving forward for it seems the thing to do. Take advantage of time while we still can. We think there’s nothing no one expects anything of us yet. We look around and see everyone enjoying the ride this thing called life. It’s all bout having fun there’s lots of time to get serious about the future. It’s all bout instant gratification. Nothing Else Matters.

But at a very young age I saw the lie. GOD told me at 14 I would be a pastor. I think I put it in INTERVENTION so durning the time of stupidity I always knew I was TOLD. Idk maybe that was part of what I was running away from while thinking before I serve I should eat from the forbidden. GOD kept showing up every time things went sideways. HE would ask how’s it working out. I knew where this could end even so I listened to the lyrer and played the game. One Day came wen there was nothing then I turned to everything and well the rest is history. I do love your posts. I don’t comment much. However if you would be so kind to allow me to chime in on your daily download from GOD. May I say your mind is one of a young woman your content shows the wisdom of a lady 2x your age.

  STEP#4 GOD speaks to us through The HOLY SPIRIT In 5 Ways GOD Uses 
  1) The Bible
  2) Prayer
  3) Answered Prayer
  4) Circumstances 
  5) Through The Church.  Because there are so many ways GOD speaks to us I won’t try and answer all them at the same time I’ll try my best to detail each one some may be combined others solo Yet each is equally important to us if we are to tap into a direct line with our FATHER.
                                                             THE  BIBLE
  Common Sense would dictate that if there is a GOD HE being sovereign would leave something behind Something  HIS creation could find (if searching Seek n You Will Find) this something would have to have things to show it’s from a Superior (Ultimate) Intelligence. It would need to explain Who.HE is What HE excepts Why we would need HIM Where’(s) HE Lives We can/will live HE wants us to live When(s) Historical Reference Prophecy Things To Come Moral Sets of Ethics Rules explaining WHY we are in need of being saved. A Plan to fix the problems caused if HIS creation breaks the rules /LAW HE’S gone further now as HE has incorporated/allows man to be involved in KINGDOM BUILDING along with HIS INTERVENTION  and Investment into humanity HIS creation. ALL These Things And So Much More Are Found InThe BIBLE. CONSIDER THIS If You Could Hold GOD Would You. Ummm YES. (John 1:1). So when we pick up the BIBLE we are Embracing GODS Essence n Yet Jesus was not just the. WORD. HE was/is the Fulfillment of the LAW of course it’s not GOD but it’s EVERYTHING a Book would need to be to show us that it was written by 1) Higher Power 2) To HIS Creation 3) For A Purpose. The BIBLE is GODS main way to speak to us. Almost like a beginner book Yet because it’s The LIVING WORD. I can read it again in a year or so and if I’ve applied what I’ve learned it will mean something different to me. RELATIONSHIP = More Application =Closer Relationship A Cycle that if remains will continue to follow as long as we stay connected to The WORD. This will turn into other ways HE speaks to us A Apple a Day Keeps The Dr Away.

  #2 Way GOD Speaks To Us.                                                                 PRAYER
  Remembering that all this is done/accomplished through the HOLY SPIRIT  Now one would ask how does me praying have anything to do with GOD speaking to me. Isn’t me talking to GOD. Yes n No. How many times has this happened to you? You are praying for things you know to be important then someone or something pops into your head well where did that come from? It wasn’t your thought nor on your list Yet it was on GODS list. When we pray We are having a conversation with our LORD While we are in that place (Throne Room) praying We are literally allowing ourselves to...    less

    #3 ANSWERED PRAYERS
    Outside of the Bible which is GODS number one way to communicate with us. We have answered prayer. I could probably conclude this little post right here right now. But I will explain a little bit how answered prayer ties for in with getting to know GOD. When we pray GOD always answers our prayer. He may not answer it the way we want nor does the answer it in the timeframe that we want/desire. The three answers that she gives us are #1 YES. #2 NO #3 Wait
    when he gives us a yes it is either by our prayer being answered very quickly. Sometimes these prayers that we pray can be answered within minutes other times it may take a few days. This is why Paul said pray without ceasing. When our prayer is answered in GODS time frame we will immediately know GOD is interested in you/me. He’s got a a lot invested into us. There are also times she answers our prayer and we didn’t even ask. Examples may be we missed the car accident, slip and fall, health issues, ECT. Again when we see these prayers answered without asking we come to recognize/ lung on HIM being there. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Knowing that he is always there could lead to a place where we take him for granted, or on the other hand does it enhance our relationship whatsoever with GOD. The answer is yes as when our prayers are answered it increases our desire to pray as it increases our FAITH. Without FAITH it is impossible to please god. Without faith there is a very limited relationship one can have with our LORD The second answer he will give us no We don’t always understand why he says no. However we cannot get that mixed up with wait. We must recognize the answer for what it is. I don’t know if I have ever heard GOD say no and then change his mind. The only reason that I could rationalize that he would say no and then turn around and give it to us. It would be because he wants to teach us some thing. When he says no it is for a definite reason. If we happen to be persistent and will not give up on this prayer whatever it may be, he may say yes. This US was only given to us because we will find that GOD definitely had a plan by saying no, he wanted to protect us from something. Usually some kind of crisis. One thing to consider as we pray and we are led by the spirit to pray then we begin to comprehend the bigger plan that God has for us rather than our limited finite thought process. Therefore when he says no we will be at peace with that we will close that chapter and move on. The last answer is a little bit more tricky. He says wait. There are several reasons why he would say wait. The main one is that at this point all of the details are not worked out. Another words you could be praying to get into a type of ministry One would think GOD would say immediately yes. You may totally be ready for the entrance into the harvest field, or KINGDOM BUILDING. However the other end of the equation has not been worked out yet. Once again as we become more familiar with the LORDS ways we would understand that waiting is important. Actually I have found in ministry there is a lot of time waiting around for things to get worked out. Some people take a break and wait for things to happen. Probably not the wisest way to go about preparing yourself to do ministry, others will take this time to pray read your Bible meditate fast in order to prepare...    less

  TIME IS SHORT
  Time is short. How are you try to measure something such as time. Well seeing that we were created to live forever in these bodies. Once you get to a certain age you begin to realize these bodies will not last forever here on earth. Let’s break it down into generations. A generation is about 20 years. Average lifespan goes a little over 80. The first five years of your life you learn 90% of what you need to know in order to survive. IIts the rest your life and the 10% that’s really important. It’s from the ages of 5 to 25 are first generation. People are supposed to be putting positive things into us. Our parents are friends are family teachers counselors clergy etc. etc. However by the time we are 15 if somebody had taken the time to put good things into us we would be in a position to start reproducing those characteristics into others. Most of us however do not get anybody that really puts the time and effort into us to the extent that they challenge us to be leaders. So the first generation gets by us without making a difference in anybody’s life. Let’s look at 25 to 45. Our second generation probably our best generation. The one that we are closest to younger people but you’re old enough to speak to our elders and both will listen. It’s also the time that we start families careers jobs hobbies etc. So again we missed the second generation and we have not made a difference in anybody’s lives. Especially pertaining to the kingdom. 45 to 65 our 3rd generation. By now we have learned what is good and what is not what works what does not. We certainly have a understanding of the spiritual realm. If we are believers then the spiritual realm should be extremely important to us. So much so that we should be/should have Been making a difference. Such as bringing people to a saving knowledge. Discipling. Mentoring. Teaching. Counseling. In order to do it we had to put in lots of time and learning. The problem is the first two generations we didn’t take the time to put anything in. Nothing in nothing out. At this point most people won’t even listen to us. And we spent most of his generation preparing ourselves for a retirement age. 65 to 85 or last generation. At this point most of us if we have not done anything productive in the kingdom then we’re probably spending a lot of time thinking about the would of could of should of’s . At this age there’s not much we can do physically to make a difference in the kingdom. Certainly we can pray which is the most powerful thing we have in our toolbox. But we all can do that from the time we were five. So kingdom building has a lot more then just prayer. Yet there’s much to pray bout I guess my last point would be there is a saying. The days go by slowly but the years pass by quickly. The older we get the more we are aware of that statement. However there comes a time when you were even the day seem to go by quickly. I would reference you back to one of my posts about a month ago. The title a conversation actually it was THE INTERVIEW . All of us that are reading this particular post I’m more than likely are in our 3rd to 4th generation. Here’s a thing even in the last generation there is a verse in the Bible that we can claim specifically for this occasion. Meaning how do we get around the age factor and still be productive in the kingdom. Here’s..  less

  Carol Pady → Healthful Living: "Removing the Fear of Death" - Psalm 23:4

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4
  
  Death is the single common denominator of all men. This fact is illustrated every day in the morning newspaper. The business section of the paper highlights only those who are successful in their vocational endeavors. The social section contains pictures and stories only related to the social elite. The sports section is filled with articles about those teams and individuals who excel in their athletic fields. Then we come to the obituary section. There, listed side by side in alphabetical order, are the rich and the poor, the known and the unknown, the prominent and the not so prominent. We are all equal in death. It is our common denominator.
  
  A lot of voices and volumes today tell us how to live. Motivational and self-help books flood the marketplace. But there is only one book that tells us how to die. And there is no one verse in that Book of books which is more pertinent to the subject than our verse today. Tradition tells us that King David penned these words about the “valley of the shadow” while sitting in the Judean wilderness between Jerusalem and Jericho. The spot is known today as Wadi Kelt. It is a long valley about four and a half miles in length, and its canyons run as much as fifteen hundred feet in depth. The sun casts a shadow over the canyon on the sheep trails across the way, which snake their way up, down, and through the rugged terrain. It was here that David said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” This one verse reveals three important facts about the appointment that awaits each and every one of us.
  
  Fact #1: Death is a Sure Thing
  Death is sure. It is certain. We deal with death in many ways. Some attempt to flee it. Some go to the extreme of cryonics, freezing their bodies in hopes that future medical breakthroughs can bring them back to life at some later date. Some forget it. They simply reject the idea, assuming it will somehow go away. Others fear it--and they live paralyzed lives with no hope or security in Christ. Then there are those, like David, who face death. These people realize their days are numbered, and that we all have an appointment with death.
  
  Note carefully David’s words: “I walk through the valley.” He walked. He didn’t run toward death. This is King David, not Dr. Kevorkian. He didn’t crawl, as though he wanted to postpone it as long as possible. He was not dragged toward it. He simply walked. He knew death could not be avoided; it is a sure thing.
  
  Fact #2: Death is a Sojourn
  David indicated that he walked through the valley. It was not his final destination. It was only a temporary passage, a sojourn. He knew this road was not a dead end with no way out. He knew it was not a cul-de-sac that got him nowhere. For David--and for us--death is simply a sojourn. We do not walk in the valley. We do not stay there. We walk through the valley.
  
  The story is told of a caterpillar crawling along a limb on its belly. Along comes a friend with a philosophical view that says, “Someday I believe we will no longer crawl around like this but we’ll be able to fly and soar and feast on milk and honey.” How idealistic, thought the caterpillar. Then one day came his inevitable appointment with death. So he was buried in a shroud called a cocoon and attached to a twig on a tree. By and by, when spring came, the grave burst open, and out of it emerged a magnificent creature with delicate sails called butterfly wings. With our superior intellect, we know this is the process of metamorphosis. But do we know as much about our own destinies? Death is a sure thing, but it is also only a sojourn. It is not our final destination.
  
  Fact #3: Death is a Shadow
  Solomon reminded us in his Proverbs that “every word of God is pure” (30:5). Note carefully what David said: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” No believer in Christ ever walks through the valley of death, only the valley of the shadow of death. The Lord Jesus, though, walked through the valley of death. For three days and nights He walked that valley and then emerged from the empty tomb and said, “Behold . . . I have the keys of death and of Hades” (Revelation 1:18 nasb).
  
  Thus, the believer only walks through the valley of the shadow of death. A shadow might horrify you, but it cannot harm you. And the only way you can have a shadow is to have a great light shining. David said he walked “through the valley of the shadow of death” because that is what we do with a shadow; we simply walk through it.
  
  While death is a sure thing, it is only a sojourn through a shadow. It is, in a sense, stepping into the light. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12).
  
  Is it any wonder David went on in this verse to exclaim, “I will fear no evil”? He knew death would be defeated; that although it was a sure thing, it was but a temporary sojourn through a shadow into the light. David could fear no evil because he knew the Lord was with him: “I will fear no evil; for You are with me!” Up until now in this great 23rd Psalm, David had been speaking in third person: “He makes me . . . He leads me . . . He restores me.” But when it comes to the subject of death, David got very personal. All of a sudden in verse 4, he changed to second person: “You are with me . . . Your rod . . . Your staff . . . You prepare . . . You anoint.” Death has its own way of making Christ more personal.
  
  No wonder we too need fear no evil. Why? Because the Lord is with us, and He has conquered death, hell, and the grave. The apostle John got a glimpse of Jesus’ glory from his lonely island called Patmos where he was exiled. Upon seeing the vision of the exalted Christ, John formed the best description he could with our limited vocabulary and said, “When I saw Him, I fell at his feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death” (Revelation 1:17–18). Yes, “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me.”
  
  As you memorize this verse, meditate on the fact that, through His own death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus made a way when there was no way for us. We need not fear death. We only walk through the valley of the shadow of death . . . and Jesus is with us!

    Pastor Dion's goal has been bringing church services to people all over the world who are unable to attend in person for whatever reason. It has been a blessing for many of us. But, now our church mission takes on a whole new level.

    I hope everyone can see that God makes His own choices. The Bible says all through it that our days are numbered. Daniel 2:44 says that God will set up a kingdom that will never be distroyed. Others may teach the end of the world, but I can tell everyone that will not happen. We do not have to live in fear!

    Praise God, the Great Physician, who has each of us believers under His wing.  Like the lamb's blood on the door posts in Egypt,  the Lamb's Blood will protect us from this virus!

  “For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?” (Matthew 6:25-26)
  In Matthew 6 we have the example of anxiety about food and clothing.
  Even in America, with its extensive welfare system, anxiety over finances and housing can be intense. But Jesus says in verse 30 that this stems from inadequate faith in our Father’s promise of future grace: “O men of little faith.” And so this paragraph has at least seven promises designed by Jesus to help us fight the good fight against unbelief and be free from anxiety. (In Part 1 we look at Promises 1 and 2; then the rest in Parts 2 and 3.)
  PROMISE #1: For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (Matthew 6:25).
  Since your body and your life are vastly more complex and difficult to provide than food and clothing are, and yet God has, in fact, created and provided you with both, then surely he will be able and willing to provide you with food and clothing.
  Moreover, no matter what happens, God will raise your body some day and preserve your life for his eternal fellowship.
  PROMISE #2: Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? (Matthew 6:26).
  If God is willing and able to feed such insignificant creatures as birds who cannot do anything to bring their food into being — as you can by farming — then he will certainly provide what you need, because you are worth a lot more than birds.
