A Little Change To Things

Hello All,

I've not written much this past year so please accept my apologies as I reconnect with my Savior. He is amazing!!

There are a few small changes to my blog:

The color scheme is different again as when I checked it a few weeks back I noticed some of my stuff was not up so hope you enjoy the new look.

To the right you will find all the links to my pages as well as to some of my family's and just some cool blogs and sites I enjoy following which belong to friends, pastor's and such.

I hope you will all keep me in your prayers as I am still in a huge spiritual battle right now...last year I nearly lost myself to the enemy and allowed my hurt and anger and confusion inside my marriage pull me away from God. I am so thankful that HE chose to stick to me like glue even as I floundered around asking what on earth is going on.

Stay tuned as starting soon I will be continuing to post to my blog pages and share what my Almighty Savior has shared with me, shown me and impressed upon my heart.

God Bless to all
Cindy

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. If your reading this let me first say, this blog is my own studies, my own beliefs in God, in Christ, in my Creator and my world surrounding me.I won't push my beliefs off on you, nor will I argue my point. If you want to debate with me, ask me questions or just share your own thoughts and beliefs..I'm game. Over the years I have read the bible cover to cover, studied it, memorized verses, researched the truth of it, some of it I am still researching and still seeking answers for certain things in the bible. Yes, the bible was physically written by men...but I believe that GOD is the instigator behind it all and getting His Word out to His people.But let me say all in all, I believe in GOD. HE is my creator, my father, my comforter, my joy and my peace and so much more. He gave me life and he will take it away someday. I do believe Christ was not only a man but the living son of GOD, who came to earth to not only save us, but to be with us, and to teach us. Someday I hope to look into His eyes and tell Him that I do love Him, and my faith and belief in Him are what keep me going, trying to be what He wants me to be. I hope you enjoy my writings on my research, and my studies

4 Stepping Stones - WDJD

WDJD = What Did Jesus Do? Ever asked yourself this question? Well I have been asking it for awhile now and reading alot on it.

W = Would you consider yourself a good person?
D = Do you think you've kept all 10 Commandments, Laws and Decrees GOD gave us?
J = On Judgement Day if GOD judges you with HIS law will you be found innocent or guilty?
D = Destiny "Will you go to Heaven or Hell?"

We are all called to save the lost by bringing them to Christ, but first we really should get to know them and become a part of their lives, not just a silent person who nods or says Hi once in awhile but to truly know the real person. Be a good neighbor first, invite them to dinner. Share your back deck for a great conversation spot. Bake them cookies!! Then as your relationship blooms into friendship and those delightful evenings spent hanging out in the lawn chairs or on your back decks turn into conversations...well just let the Spirit lead you in questions to chat about. Just remember to be humble in your approach (no rude tones) with the right attitude..one that glorifies GOD and not yourself.

Afterall, we are here to bring others to Christ....not chase them away with heated words, anger, and self-righteousness.

A good book to read is "Way of the Master" by Ray Comfort. Check out this website too: http://www.wayofthemaster.com and also check out: www.livingwaters.com

Lord, give me the humbleness in spirit and the courage to approach others. In Christs Name, Amen

Armor of GOD

Ephesians 6:13-17 "Therefore take up the whole armor of GOD, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace above all taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD."

Have you ever wondered what the weapons are? Your armor of GOD? What should you do to counterattack when Satan attacks you?

This post will go hand in hand with the one I posted earlier titled "overcoming the power of satan".

Your Weapons Are these:
The Blood of Jesus
Prayer
Praise
The Whole Armor of GOD
Speaking the Word
Perserverance
The name of Jesus
Fasting with Prayer

Fasting draws one closer to GOD and we can request strength, healing, guidance and help through prayer with our fasting. Doing without food makes us aware and more conscious of those who go without in life of the necessities we take for granted. In your fast you must surrender your "self" in willing service to GOD and this will prepare the way to engage in spiritual warfare on behalf of others you know who need it. A total fast is no food or water whereas a limited or partial fast is restricting yourself from certain foods. Some fasting scriptures are noted below:
Exodus 34:27-28
1 Samuel 3:30-35
Esther 4:15-17
Ezra 8:21-23
Nehemiah 1:1-11
2 Chronicles 20:1-3
Psalm 35:11-13
Luke 2:37
Matthew 4:1-2
Luke 4:1-2
Acts 9:1-18
Acts 13:1-3
Acts 14:23

Ephesians 6:18 "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints."

The armor of GOD is:
The Belt of Truth-Ephesians 6:14 (this helps bind up so we are not hindered)
The Sword of the Spirit-Ephesians 6:17(read the word of God daily)
The Shoes, preparation of the Gospel of Peace-Ephesians 6:15(walk with God daily)
The Breastplate of Righteousness-Ephesians 6:14(Accepting Christ)
The Shield of Faith-Ephesians 6:16(Believe in God and seek Him faithfully,diligently)
The Helmet of Salvation-Ephesians 6:17(Pray always to protect our minds)

Living as a Spiritual Warrior for GOD requires us to live as Christ did, being obedient to GOD, letting the Holy Spirit convict us daily, daily confessing any sin or wrongdoing, wearing the armor of God, guarding ourselves against evil and its' influences, producing the Fruit of the Spirit, having fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ and to truly forgive all those who have hurt you by their words or actions and to be transformed daily into being like Jesus.
