PRECIOUS CHILDREN YOUNG AND OLD

Angels are given charge to children. Psalm 91:
11-12

There is no greater gift to an unborn child than to feel you worship Jesus. Let your unborn child feel the presences of God before they are born. God already knows those precious ones. God has already given angels charge over them. God has already breathe on them.

At this marvelous conception, not only are they given physical DNA, but also their spiritual DNA. It is here at this time that the unborn inherit a place within them, the urge to know God and a sin nature. Remember God said that sin nature is passed down by man.

A mother can help develop a child of God. Allow this child to feel the presences of God through worship and praises to the Almighty. Sing praises and listen to Christian music. Bach stated that all music should be written and sung to the glory of God.

Many mothers have listened to music before a child is born to introduced them to be relaxed when going to sleep. Then they will do so after their birth to fall asleep in a peaceful state. I can’t remember if it was Bach or another but it was suggested that music should be a 4/4 count.

We are commanded in Deuteronomy 6:6-7, that we are to teach our children diligently the things of God. We are to talk of them when we sit in our house and when one walks by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.

I taught my children when we needed to cross traffic to ask God to “part the traffic” for us. This helps them to accept help in all things. To help them develop a habit of praying about all things. You can come up with things that are tailored for your children.

We need to teach our children how important they are to us and how often they are in God’s thoughts. God has precious and beautiful thoughts of them that is more numerous than each grain of sand (Psalm 139: 13-18). God thought of them before they were a thought of ours (Jeremiah 1:5). Remind them that they were a gift to you from God. Beloved, please remember, you are to be a reflection of God. If you love your children like Jesus, then they will understand Jesus love for them.

I would like to mention here about a study that was done. If both parents take their children to church regularly, then 75% of them will remain in church as adults. If only the father takes them to church by himself, then only 50% will remain in church as adults. If a mother takes them to church by herself,only 15% will remain in church as adults. If children take themselves to church, then only 8% will remain in church. I am thankful that God does not go by surveys and moves where He pleases. Remember though that the only thing we take to heaven with us are the souls that God has allowed us to plant seeds of Him within others.

Now for the older children and adult children of God. One of the Ten Commandments spoken by God is found in Exodus 20:12 which says to honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged. Yes, it says that your days may be long. Do you want to live a long time? Then respect and love your father and mother.

This is repeated in Ephesians 6:1-3, with the promise that you may live long on the earth. It is important to the child to be obedient for Christ. It is here that says a child should take care of their parents upon them aging as an obligation to Christ.

Ephesians 6:4 adds something else concerning children. It tell fathers not to provoke the children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instructions of the Lord.

Anger is a mighty destroyer. It can break a person in so many ways that can last a lifetime. A child can lose confidence in approaching God. A child may think God is like their earthy father. Stay in prayer and ask God to put more love in your heart for Him. Ask God how you should bring up your child and impart Godly wisdom to each of them. Respond to children in the fruit of the Spirit. Beloved, be a reflection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

WHY WE SHOULD LOVE

Big Horn in Utah

Dear Ones of the Lord Jesus, it is love that gives our lives the fullness with peace and joy for our journey here on this earth. Remember when you fell in love for the first time and how your heart became so full that you did not know if you could contain that love within you. We need to strive to carry within us a fullness of love for Jesus Christ. As we mature in our love for Jesus Christ, we are able to love others more fully. For when we love Jesus to the point where we cannot contain it, the love flows in such a way that others around you feels that love. That is when you carry God’s presence’s and majesty to others. It is here that you feel God’s perfect peace.

I have seen Christians become so hostile to the sins of others. They are especially hostile to other Christians. Our heart is to look at others in love. Does your heart feel the presences of God when you approach others in sin. There is a saying, and I do not know who began this but it says something like, “Don’t judge others because their sin is different than yours.”

In Matthew 18:15-20, gives further instructions on how to approach those that need Christian discipline. This is a command on how we are to do this discipline. First we are to go to them privately with deep love. If they repent,he is then restored in the fellowship of God and service. If there is no repentance, we are to take one or two more with us and speak to them. These other will be witnesses. If there is still no repentance, then you go to the church. We are to keep God’s name holy.

Beloved, in all these steps, they must be covered with deep prayer to have the Holy Spirit go before you. You must carry with you God’s love and His presences. You must feel the pain that Jesus feels over this precious wounded one. In Luke 15:4, Jesus talks about leaving 99 sheep to look for one.

Matthew 7:1-5, speaks about removing the log out of your eye before removing the speck in another’s persons eye. This must be done before you approacyh another and this must be done with scripture. The same scripture that Jesus uses to judge. Consider this passage as qualification of you judging. Christian discipline should be the highest form of Love. Any other form is sin.

I can not remember Jesus being hostile to any individual in sin. Yes, He was angry with groups of religious leaders and in the temple, but never individuals. If you know of any scripture in the New Testament, please let me know.

Let me again, state the importance of asking God daily to put more love in your heart for Him. The more you love Him, the more you are able to love others. I did not think I could love my husband, children and grandchildren any more than I did at some point in time in the past. Your love to others can grow by leaps and bounds. Then your ministry can grow by leaps and bounds. You being a servant of Jesus Christ can grow deeper. Your love can cause the Holy Spirit to move in greater power. More love can move you deeper into God’s heart. You can express God’s love to the world in ways you never imagined.

Now for the all importance of Saul’s conversion to Paul on his way to Damascus (Acts 9:4). It says, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” Jesus did not say why are you persecuting my children. Jesus said, “persecuting Me.” When the Lord repeats a name twice, you better listen because He means it is very important. When the Lord brought this to my attention, I immediately thought of cross words to my husband and other Christians. It is the same as those words being said to Jesus.

I pray that your heart is so filled with love, that you remember this before the fact and not afterwards, as sometimes I do. Ask Jesus to put more love in your heart starting now.

World Economics Changed For One

My daughter Tiffany needed braces. We decided we did not want to pay it over a period of 18 months. A few years earlier, we had invested in some gold. I shared with my husband that the price of gold was lower than what we had paid for it. We talked it over and decided to sell it on a certain date which was about three weeks later. I watched the price of gold and it stayed low. When we woke up on the target date, the price was over what we had paid. My husband went to the bank and collected the money. We had more than enough. The following day, the gold dropped back down to the low price it was before our sell date. I wondered how many other Christians needed to sell their gold that day. Or were we the only ones. Did God change the price of gold just for us? That thought does not really matter. What matters is that our loving Father changed the world economics for one family.

Before this point in time, God did test our obedience concerning money. When you have four or five children plus who ever they brought home, the food in the house could be slim. That would be the time God would ask us to do something. It could have been to give money or food to someone. One time it was to buy a sleeping bag for a homeless person. When we were obedient, God would always have someone ask our family over for dinner or unexpected money would arrive.

We believed and taught our children that a family works together and to not expect money for chores. Sometimes we would pay for things they wanted. We paid for extra school activities. For example an instrument for band, pep squad uniforms, choir outfits and Gold Duster uniforms.

We now have grandchildren and they are taught not to expect money when they help us. Two of our children live in near by towns and we would rather spoil our grandchildren. They never know if we will pay them. We do have some pre-arranged work for pay. For example, my health prevents me from feeding my animals. I have horses, peacocks, ducks and chickens. Feeding them is not easy especially when it rains. Plus one day a week the younger ones will help the older ones feed. We all know that most of the time by doing this, it takes longer.

My children have taught my grandchildren to give a tenth of what they make back to the church. This warms my heart with such joy. The preschool children may give all they have to missionaries. I have seen my teenage grandchildren give all they have to someone in

Sharing your money begins in your heart. Giving money to spread the news about Jesus generally begins with how much you love Jesus and letting it to spill over in other areas.

Beloved, give some time to your church and the spreading of the words of Jesus. Many forget about giving time to help the church or others.

Now, I do understand the fear of living from pay check to pay check. Please start saving a little at a time toward getting out of debt. An excellent study for your finances is Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace Institute. It is wise to tithe (giving a tenth of your income) to your church and watch and see what God will do. But if you do this trying to get God give you more…well that will not work. All things are done because of your love. I took a class that was free at a local church.

Who am I

Welcome to a part of my world. I love God, family, friends and God’s creation. Thank you for allowing me to share these things with each and every one of you.

I am a child of God, here on temporary assignment, disguised as a domestic engineer (which is a housewife, mother, grandmother, preparing and helping to prepare, the next generation in our family.)

I do have a number of medical problems in which Jesus gives me strength.

Oddly, part of that strength comes from a phrase found in the Bible in Ephesians 3:10. The phrase is “in order that the authorities in the heavenly places.” Who are the authorities in heaven? I believe they are angels. Angels who are with Jesus. Angels who are living with the One of perfect holiness, perfection, and love. Now angels would understand Jesus’s holiness and love but do they understand His grace and mercy? I am sure they do not understand how we can love Jesus and have never seen Him. You see, they do not have the Holy Spirit within them. It is the Holy Spirit that teaches Truth, guides and fills a person to help them become Christlike.

Please pray for me, for I hope to guide and share knowledge. I hope to receive knowledge from others in the comments. Either way, I will be under attack from those in dark places. May our hearts link together in His Love.
