John 14:21-23 (NKJ)

21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

Overcomer!

When I think on a man named "Tim Rogers", I say, wow, there was a overcomer. (overcomer-to take over, to over take,sin.)
Romans 12:21 be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good Tim spent a better part of his life listening to peoples complaints and life's sorrows, always helping them and praying for them. He would read out aloud to better the knowledge in a home and increase a hunger for the word of G-d.He would become a Bible College teacher for 9 years.(Grace and Glory Bible College) I would watch Him hand out money, and sometimes go with out lunch himself. My memories of him reading the Word, how he would fast and pray and see the hand of G-d move so powerfully in his life! How the scripture states "bare ye one another's burden". He would grieve over someone's burden. This all from a young man who had a fatal accident as young man in the Navy ,He would come back a Quadrapalegic. Bound to a wheel chair for 35 years.
Now on His birthday , I celebrate a life of sacrifice, a life of love, giving, sharing and waiting . He endured until his end here on earth Happy Birthday in heaven I love you Timmy..

What you have done is a release to be done unto you

Throughout history we can point to many great Men and Women of Faith who have made decisions that brought criticism, disappointment, personal challenge, and some just made mistakes but that's not the end of the story.

1- Moses was a Great Man of God, yet he was correctly and even falsely accused many times.
2- King David made some terrible decisions but was still considered to be a Man after God's own heart.
3- The Apostle Paul found accusation and death threats throughout his ministry.
4- Abraham and Sarah decided to have a child through Hagar but that was not what God had promised.

There are so many examples throughout the Word of God where Men and Women made a decision contrary to God's plan or made a mistake that held great consequence. The same thing is true of many committed followers of Jesus. Sin does not define us or make us who we are, instead it points to something that we did or should not have done. All we must then do is accept the Grace and Forgiveness that has been wonderfully set aside for us all and that Forgiveness, that precious Grace was paid for on the cross so long ago, but HIS mercies endure forever and they are new every morning.

Miriam Spoke against Moses
Numbers 12:1-10 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

A young man Kills Saul at Sauls request after Sauls Armor Bearer refuses. He was doing what Saul requested, however David's response is telling. Touch not God's anointed.

2 Samuel 1:5-16 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord. Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite. And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed? And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed.

Guard your words closely and beware of making Judgement against another
Matthew 7:1-2 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Jewish Folktale about Yettele and the Feather Pillow
Yettele's Feathers which is a Jewish folktale in which Yettele is spreading tales based on what she hears, making up other parts she didn't hear, and hurting feelings and reputations. Soon, no one wants anything to do with her so she visits the rabbi with her problem. Why doesn't anyone want to hear her great stories any more? The rabbi has her cut the top off a plump pillow and carry it to his house. She can't stop feathers blowing out and scattering everywhere along the way. He tells her she must now go out and recover all those feather and put them back in. Of course she returns and tells him it was impossible and he tells her: "And so it is with those stories of yours, my dear Yettele. Once the words leave your lips, they are as impossible to put back as those feathers."

What you have done is a release to be done unto you, be so wise with the words you release and be careful.

Proverbs 19:20-21 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

Look at Proverbs 31:26

She opens her mouth in skillful and Godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness (giving counsel and instruction).
The number one thing causing sickness is not what we eat but what we speak. God knows the heart of man so He knows when you have set out to do damage to someone, He knows the intent of the heart... Let the word of God direct your day . Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). If you could take this in deep, stop, I beg of you, for your own safety. You create things to happen against yourself. Your words may also keep some precious soul from the love and nurturing they should receive. Some people may say, "I have no friends ... poor me..., but then anyone they get close to, sooner or later, it starts to look like a lawnmower going through a field, they clear out a path where no one wants to be with them. Because of the words, the lies, they stir trouble everywhere they go. They can never come into peace, joy, and right thinking, Romans 14:17. These people are not to be taken in, they are to be prayed for, that they would receive a true revelation of Eph: 3:14-20, The Love of Christ... how long, how wide, how deep, how high is the Love of Christ! If their life does not reflect Christ, pray for them, do not be taken in by their words.. Love...Love...Love... A Good word is.... "We don't get stirred up by the voice of people, we get stirred up by the voice of God. We desire to pursue peace at all cost... we do our part and He will do the rest. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

May Christ be what you talk about the most,

To those who are GAY! I love you! You are not alone....

Everyone battles with something, and I see the lie that has been sold here in the body of Christ, you can't pull out , you can't tell anyone, your stuck. It Is a lie, yes a lie.. Satan so wants to keep you from moving forward in what you were called to, he wants to keep you confused. This I believe is his 1st purpose. Then He can keep you form moving forward in your God given Greatness, we are all called to greatness. Some of us just believe a lie and become paralyzed in our walk by the things that are introduced into our minds. We can not be careful enough with what we see, say, or hear, this is the end times. How long is your life? You see it is not that long. You are only given a short time in which to fulfill the call on your life, satan wants you distracted so he can keep you from bringing more into the Kingdom of God. He so wants to slow you down so you will not operate to the fullness of your ability. I love you all and I am praying that you will come into the fullness of Christ. Repent and walk away and walk towards the greatness God has for you.
A mother's love,

Discovering the gifts inside of you." Look your Great"

When I walk into a room The Lord has let me see, who was lost, and who was scared, who felt they did not belong ,who did not know who he or she was . If allowed to get near, The Lord would always have me speak what is the greatness locked up inside of them.
My Husband and I would see a baby and say did you see that baby, He is so gifted. We prayed the parents would see it and guide them in the spirit.. We saw the world squash the gifting of parents, with television we saw babies become transformed , the reshaping of generation thru video games ,its ok to have this in your home ,the whole world is doing it. No! The whole world is not doing it . We are called to be set a part. what are you doing that makes you at first view look set apart.. Is there a glow that say they must be a child of the King. I want to glow I want to have a face that can transform the humanity of this world to seek our Lord and Savior. May you be challenged to call out and look at the gifts you were born with. If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of G-d, that giveth to all men liberally,and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me," Psalm 119:98..

I want to encourage you to look at what you drew as a child, what was the constant picture you drew, what was your passion?
What brings tears to your eyes ,what is it that,that you now say, I can not look at those pictures it hurts me to much , It might just be your passion, that has been pushed away. shoved down deep so you will not find out your greatness. Look inside "You Are GREAT"!
He made you how could you not be Great.........

Love and Prayer in Him who made us Great!

Who Am I?

I AM CONSTANTLY IN THE STATE OF BECOMING!

Wow! What a word form our dear SAVIOR. The word says to work out your salvation with all fear and trembling. We are becoming what we will be in Him. The more we surrender to Him, the more we become like Him and the more we are becoming the likeness of Him. My mind is reeling on with all I keep hearing. We are coming so close to something bigger in the spirit and the enemy will fight big, so stay balanced in the word and prayer. Ready your Spirit - God is speaking...are you listening!!!!

There is nothing like My God!

Everyday is incredible in Christ Jesus! I so love, love my Jesus. I have always felt such a safe place through out life with my Lord. Do you feel safe with your Jesus? My Lord adores His baby girl and He is raising up a Woman of God, with a heart for the lost world. Jesus loves us when we can't love ourselves. We can't miss if we lose ourselves in Jesus...it all comes back to us. Give yourself away to Him. His dreams are so much bigger then anything we have for ourselves...take His hand, He will give you His heart and your life will be something they write books about.
