INSPIRED I LOVE LEARNING AND YES ABOUT GOD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

The difference between learning and not learning can be like black and white, when you add color.

I do love learning. I love how it makes me feel. How I feel like I am growing. And yes growing on the vine with Christ. It makes me realize, as I grow in Christ, I am bringing forth fruit. And I cannot do nothing without HIM. I know the difference.

I AM THE VINE, YE ARE THE BRANCHES: HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME, AND I IN HIM, THE SAME BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT: FOR WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING. John 15:5 KJV.

It brings color to my life, stimulation, to see the beauty and to understand….that it can be a gift from God. And I state even here;

“Lord, how grateful I am for teaching me, so I could learn. For correcting me Lord. You did not leave me the way I was. You taught me, who you are, and what is required, you taught me your ways….I am thankful for who you are. To know….I praise you in this, and give you all glory, honor and praise. In Jesus name I pray Amen. “..

I did not always feel that way to be honest. Where I was inspired to learn. To achieve, to excel at anything….

In fact, I fell through the cracks a lot in my youth, when it came to growing, learning, and being the best I could be. I did not have that gentle nudge, to inspire me to grow and learn. And I think thats so important, especially for our youth, they need that guidance, and inspiration to at least say,

“Hey you can do this, go for it, learn. You can do it if you try and learn. Just don’t give up!”

I did not have that. My mother raised me in a very strict environment, and I had a hard time spreading my wings. I rebelled for a lot of that. Though, I do not blame my mother, they were my choices.

Actually most of the things I did learn, was just because I had to. Like getting an education. When it came to the basics, of math, reading, spelling, etc. Writing… And even as a youth, I did not write much.

But let me just say why I love learning now. See, when you get older, if you continue to learn, you get inspired.

Inspiration, gives knowledge. Knowledge can give you wisdom.

But you have to be inspired to learn. I have met people, and yes some nice people, but they don’t want to learn. They like playing dumb, or they like not growing. They are content, to stay the way they are.

A lady I once knew, was once given a computer. As a gift. And she returned it. Why? Because she said she did not want to be frustrated to learn how to use it.

This was a gift. A gift, she could not see, could benefit her. At the time she got it, I believe it could have really opened doors for her, to receive knowledge. See, if you can learn even the basics of something, it can enhance, your mind, it can inspire you, so you can grow, learn how to do something, know how to do it, and then have wisdom.

But she rejected that gift. And I have not talked or seen her in years, but I kind of quit talking to her, why? She was stubborn in her belief and it just did not inspire me.

I like being around people who are curious, who want to learn, who have experience, who know God… So I can be inspired and grow and learn myself.

And I will not puff myself up to think, I know enough. Thats pride. I know, I am not a know it all….

And the only way you can know God, is to search for God. This is the beginning of wisdom to me. Because I began to fear God…

THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM: AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING… Proverbs 9:10 King James.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE: BUT FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION. Proverbs 1:7 King James.

I meet many Christians, who do not really learn or try to know who God is. Nor do they fear God or the consequences of not really knowing the truth themselves. They take the word from a pastor. Who might not know God either. When I see they don’t know the truth, and they say something that contradicts what my King James says, I get that red flag. I don’t take what every body says as truth, if its not based on a King James. That discernment, has taught me, and given me wisdom, which is a gift from God, I am so grateful for. Because I know the difference. I try to get to the root of understanding….To be wise.

And the King James word says, this is the blind leading the blind.

LET THEM ALONE: THEY BE BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND. AND IF THE BLIND LEAD THE BLIND, BOTH SHALL FALL INTO THE DITCH. Matthew 5:14 King James.

This is one reason, why I have a hard time attending a church where the pastor does not use a King James. The message is not anointed, and I don’t see or sense the power of God in the words or message.

The Holy Spirit, can be our teacher. But you have to be curious. To seek God. Now there are things, that one can learn about God that is not truth, and you have to be aware of that. And this is why I only use a King James.

Because when a Bible has been changed, it changes the context, which can change the content. I want pure holy word. That has not been changed, and yes that actually obeys God, according to Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:5-6 and Revelation 22:18-19 King James. Look them up. See, I could write the King James scriptures out for you, but they would not mean anything. Why? Because it was just given to you, you did not search. To know…

I learned that. By searching. I learned that God does not want us to have word that is changed. That there are consequences. I learned, even in that last verse, that it says, one can be denied access to the holy city, and name removed from the book of life.

That scares me. In fear of God! But that has given me knowledge and wisdom to fear God, so I don’t use those bibles. That are revised and changed.

I want you to see this King James verse, that was given to me, when I first accepted Christ. And not only did it inspire me, but it confirms what I say, when bibles are changed. It turns into babbling….

STUDY TO SHOW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH. BUT SHUN PROFANE AND VAIN BABBLINGS, FOR THEY WILL INCREASE UNTO MORE UNGODLINESS. II Timothy 2:15-16 King James.

How did I learn Gods King James word? How do I daily study Gods word? What gave me that desire?

From making mistakes in life, from understanding, something caused what has happened in my life. Whats the lesson to be learned? Whats the principle?

When I came to that point, where I wanted to understand why? I totally gave into searching for God, for truth.

Truth friends, such a valuable thing to have, because it can give you discernment, to know between good and evil. And in this time of life for me, I see how we need wisdom, knowledge from God to avoid the evil trappings of the enemy. Be wise as a serpent, but harmless as a dove….

BEHOLD, I SEND YOU FORTH AS SHEEP IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES: BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS AS DOVES. Matthew 10: 16 KJV.

Well, I don’t just read it, I listen to it, on my app. I share it, I write it, to make a point, even in my writings here. When I share it, did you know, iron, sharpens iron. I try to sharpen you, so you can be sharp. For the Kingdom of God.

IRON SHARPENETH IRON; SO A MAN SHARPENETH THE COUNTENANCE OF HIS FRIEND. Proverbs 27:17 KJV.

I know that…but you cannot get lazy. Let me repeat that, you cannot get lazy, if you really want to grow and learn. I challenge you, begin writing the King James word out. Let each word be meditated in your spirit person. And grow… by learning. Share it, have a purpose, when you write the word out, so you can grow, but so can others. So you can gain wisdom.

I want to be wise. See, when you have made a lot of mistakes in life, or sinned, in things, well you want to avoid these kind of things, by knowing the difference. By seeking God.

But back to just understanding, what learning can do for you. Yes, you can gain wisdom, but do you know that it stimulates you?

There are things I know, even from this point, not to try and learn. Things that could hurt me spiritually according to Gods word, things that well even remind me of the tree of life, in the garden of Eden.

There was a reason, why God did not want Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of good and evil. Because HE did not want them to know evil. HE wanted to protect them.

But obedience, sweet obedience to God, protects you from that, if you obey truly. See sin, is a curse. And if you are with God, you can overcome curses by the blood of Jesus. Knowing what God says, in the right context, in the right content, can show you.

Friends, I just want to encourage you, to keep learning. Keep growing. I could write on, and on about this subject. In fact, I deleted a lot of this, because even though, I want you to understand, why learning, and learning about God is so good, I don’t want to hammer this in, I want you to be inspired. But you will only be inspired if you ask God for that desire to learn, and then follow through.

To learn and grow, on your own. Through Christ.

See, learning for me, right now, has just inspired me even in my own life. I love learning about God, but I have also learned who I can be in God. I don’t want to be dull, and dumb, oblivious, to the truth.

I want to encourage myself through Christ. That there are things I can do like the scripture says, that tells me don’t give up.

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENETH ME. Philippians 4:13 King James.

Don’t stop learning. A perfect example is I have learned, I have a side of me, that I never knew I had. Like my art, my pour painting. I am older now, but I have discovered a side of me that has learned, I can be artistic. I love it.

Sometimes you have to challenge yourself, but you can learn. It takes discipline. It takes a desire, it takes going to God and saying Father, I want to learn who you are, but I also want to learn what my potential is. I want to be inspired in my life, to meet my full potential. I want to turn overturn every rock that has been an obstacle, and grow fruit. I want to be the best I can be, because of who Christ is in me.

Friends, thats what it really is all about, learning. Keep learning, they say, every day, we should learn something new.

Thats my goal, but only in Christ. And as I close remember this…

BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN UNTO GOD. Philippians 4:6 King James.

He does answer. I have learned this…. and I love God for it even more….

Blessings and love,

WHEN YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW GIVE GOD THE GLORY ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

When you learn something new, you rejoice. But not only do I rejoice, I give credit, where credit is due. 

This is something that I try to do, even by giving God the glory honor and praise. Because anything, I have learned, good, comes from the root of who God is. And how HE gives gifts and callings. Sometimes, people do not understand this, but thats o.k. I am just grateful. 

And when I say they don’t understand, they think because they accomplished it, they learned it, or they achieved it, they can get prideful. I am thinking of someone who I loved as a family member. An uncle of mine, who is no longer on this earth. But I remember when I was young, and very impressed with his accomplishments, I told him, “Wow, God really blessed you.”

He was very talented, in fact, as an artist, oh my he created beautiful landscapes, and beautiful illustrations, of our culture. He could paint beautifully. But he also was very intelligent. Very educated. He had a good occupation, that he was able to afford the finer things of life. He lived well.

But when I told him that God had blessed him, his response left me sad.

See, he took the stance that since he had gone to school, he had pursued opportunities, that he was the one who had completed that, and he had a very strong sense of pride.

He to me, could not see that first of all those gifts, those things he received, was because God had given him the ability. God had opened those doors. Gave him health. God had showed him, how to learn, but pride never let him admit that. I don’t think he ever really took to heart, that it is God who not only gives us gifts, but when we do see that or recognize that, it gives God the glory. And frankly thats what it is all about. Hallelujah glory to God…

I am really careful to give God glory in my life. In my writings, in my photography. In the music, I used to sing. I have never really been successful, when it came to any of these things. To be honest. I have not had doors open for me, like they even did for my uncle. And I will be honest, it has made me sad. I feel like I missed the boat, the train and plane, when it comes to some success. Yet I am taken care of by God, and my husband. I lack nothing. And I cannot help but give God thanks and praise for all my blessings. But I still can see Gods hand in all things, and I do try and give credit where credit is due.

See I am older now. I am not a spring chicken. So, for me to accomplish this at my age, makes me very humble in the sight of God. Thankful.  Careful.

Thats why, even here I acknowledge God first. But my art that I now do, came at a strange time. And I was struggling, with a health issue. I needed a distraction. I was very concerned, but kind of scared. I just did not want to make it about me, me, me….. I hardly told anybody about it. In fact, here on my main page of https://elenasjustmythoughts.wordpress.com, I did not write much about it. But I am starting to post the photos of my art on this blog page, if you are interested in buying. Originally I created the blog for my photography but now I will use it for my art as well.

https://wordpress.com/view/elenaschristianphotography.wordpress.com

Anyway, I began studying many people. This started about March of this year 2022. And here we are almost at the end of August, and I actually have something, I can say “Look what the Lord has done for me, so I rejoice. But there are people who God showed me, who had “mastered” this particular method of painting, that I learned from. So, I want to give credit where credit is due. This particular lady, was very kind to me. I did not really seek to get her attention, but she showed me encouragement, and was someone who actually went out of her way to see my small efforts and accomplishments. 

Do people really understand how important encouragement is? I have not had much of it, to be honest. From my writing, or my music. I wanted my writings to bring glory to God, but I would have loved to have been an influencer in the ways of God. I don’t know if I was, or I am, but I do try….

Anyway, this lady can be found on youtube. And I am just putting her link here, so others can learn, if they are interested in pour painting. There are others that I have learned from as well, but I make mention of her because of her encouragement, that inspired me. If you go to her page, tell her that she inspired me. Why? Because I want to inspire her as well.  https://www.youtube.com/c/SIMPLYBART

If it does not link just copy the link and try putting it in your browser. Or just look her up on youtube. With the words Simply B Art. 

This particular painting, I followed her method as closely as I could. And I am happy with it. I don’t consider myself an artist, but I learned. 

This one is not for sale. I have been asked about some of my others. But this one is special to me. I am sharing it with you so can see, why I rejoice. Grateful to God. And this lady, Bernadette. 

Blessings and love,

THREE G’S FOR HEALTHY SPIRITUAL AND MENTAL HEALTH ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

There are three G’s, in remembering how to cope. It just came to me really, as I was just thinking this morning. Wanting to have a pity party. Remembering….

Sometimes things wound us. Or we have not been guided, to learn how to deal with things or to cope.

We can get stumped. We can even be our own worse enemy when we do. We can actually limit God.

And why should we do that, when God is able? Yes, there are circumstances out of our hands. Things that we really have no control over. But they are never, ever out of Gods control. All things are possible with HIM.

But there does come a time, where we can grow. We can learn. I love learning. I really do, but there are things I do not want to learn. Things even spiritually, I know God does not want me to learn. Just a short thought on this, but remember God did not want Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree of good and evil. He had His reasons. And I do understand. So there are books I will not read, movies I will not see, things that I know would offend God. But I do want to learn what is good for me. Spiritually, mentally. I want my faith to grow to be honest. I want to be strong with my armor of God on.

I don’t want to be a wounded person any more. I want to be healed. Spiritually, mentally, thats always a goal. The enemy, would always want you wounded, stumped. Not growing, but when you grow you do have to learn. Learning what God says….

So this morning, to make it short, without getting into all the details. For a moment, I wanted to feel wounded. I wanted to have a pity party.

And God just brought this to me:

GIVE IT TO GOD

GET A GRIP

GET OVER IT.

GIVE IT TO GOD ~See, we really do have to give it God whatever it is. We need to actively, pursue HIM, in prayer. Talk to HIM, believe, what HIS promises say. Believe in HIM, to do whatever it is. Repent. Yes let go of the pride, apologize to God really, thats what it is, and yes apologize to others, if you have to. Let go of that ugly pride. Remember what I wrote above about what you have learned? Is there something you need to repent for learning, that actually offended God. Because you did not obey HIS word?

OBEY BIG EMPHASIS ON THIS. OBEY GOD.

I think sometimes, we can limit God. Why would we do that? I don’t know, but I guess I have, myself. To think maybe I am not worthy. Or to think, well I missed it before. You have to stop this negative thinking, to be honest. And the only way I know how to be more optimistic is to claim Gods word, HIS promises. From my King James bible. This is how you give it to God. You remind God what HE says, for HE can perform it. So dig in His word, and pray…

THEN SAID THE LORD, UNTO ME, THOU HAST WELL SEEN; FOR I WILL HASTEN MY WORD TO PERFORM IT. JEREMIAH 1;12 King James.

Let me just say this and with love and grace to myself as well. We can get lazy seeking God. We can get stale. We can get cold. Even the best of us. But something about Gods holy King James word, brings it alive to me. I guess because I know its HOLY. God does not lie. His promises are as good as they are now as they were when HE created the foundations of who HE is. It does not expire. Unless you walk away, or get cold. So don’t. Get close to God again, remember HIS promises. Stir up your faith. Thats how you give it to God.

GET A GRIP

This is how you get a grip, when you seek God. When you trust in HIM. When you don’t let yourself get stuck. You grow. See, when you give it to God, and you seek God, HE will give you double. He is God, HE can do that, so easily even here you can get a grip, and yes get over it. But seeking HIM, taking your problems to HIM, taking your worries, your hopes, your dreams, whatever it is, God can make a way.

I have recently just discovered that again…. See, I have been painting lately. Pour painting. I went through something physically, where now I just feel able to share it, but I had a hard time, because I had surgery. I won’t give the details, because I am still dealing with it. I could not tell to many people about it, because I just don’t like to complain. But I did go to God. I asked for healing. But HE also gave me an outlet to paint. I am learning. I am watching all of these masters on video and they inspire me. I have been doing it for a few months now. I am not perfect. But practice does make perfect. I am not an artistic person by nature. I don’t have the ability to draw something, but my goodness I can learn. We all can learn. Anyway, short story, I am learning how to create. Some days, I make a mess, but somedays well I make something pretty.

My above photo, is one of my latest creations, but it made me happy to make. I try, I try and learn. By the way, this painting is not for sale. People are starting to ask me if I am selling any of them, and some I will, some I won’t. But, I am starting to post some of them here on my blog that are for sale, they are entitled My Art and Paintings. In the pages above. Just do a quick search if interested.

Thats life. Sometimes it is hard, but HE can again make easy. He can give us coping skills. Wisdom and understanding. To learn from our mistakes, our sins, but you have to search. Thats God, HE uses things, to help us, to teach us, but to always go back to step one. Give it to God.

So, that brings me to the last G. GET OVER IT. You can get over things, no matter how difficult, no matter how hard, God can give you easy. Sometimes, I read things that will say, God did not promise easy. Or God did not say it would be easy, but HE did! He says take my yoke, for its easy. You look up the verse in a King James. With those key words. And if you do not get over it, well you can cope through it. God can give you strength to do all things, and if you cannot gain that strength, keep asking HIM. The goal is never, ever, ever give up. NEVER!!!

But HE can show us how to get over it, no matter what it is. The main key, in these three G’s, is you have to start with God. In everything. In honor, in pursuing HIM, in developing a relationship with HIM. To have a healthy spiritual and mental outlook. Then HE just makes it so easy, to get a grip, and to get over it.

I hope this blesses you today. I know it does me, when I refresh myself in the King, in HIS ways, with hope, and trust. It helps me to cope. Because sometimes it can be hard, but its worse when we make it harder, because we don’t seek God, and thats the truth. I don’t care what people think. They don’t live my life. They don’t know what God has done for me. Some want proof, well all I can say is believe God first then you will see the proof.

I just know that I know there is a God, and well HE has gotten me through a lot. Still does. And I adore God for that! He has shown me who HE is over and over again. I wonder why people reject HIM, I wonder how they cope? But if they deny the only one who can help them in a situation, well they become their own worse enemy, and its dumb, to be honest. To knock the King of Kings, the creator of heaven and earth. God has to just shake HIS head. I know I do.

Give it to God my friends, HE will give you courage, and strength to get a grip, and to get over it. And heres a thought, maybe you went what you went through, so God could get you to seek HIM. He does have HIS ways, and they are not our ways. Another KJV verse to look up.

Maybe you went through that, because you disregarded HIS commandments, and you knew better. Been there myself, never do that. Note to my own self…. Start all over. To coin a phrase…..

Give it to God, Get a grip, Get over it.

My new vision for a blessing……

P.S. Maybe being so blunt sounds harsh, and I probably would not tell someone this directly without having the explanation I do above. Because to tell someone to get over it, to tell someone to get a grip, just is not kind. Or it could be misinterpreted. But I say it to myself, because I have to sometimes be blunt, if that makes sense. Christ is compassionate and kind, but I see that sometimes for myself anyway, I cannot get stuck in just going over the same thing, over and over again, if this makes sense. I hope it blesses you.

Blessings, and love, Elena Ramirez

WHY I CALL MYSELF A “SERVANT” OF GOD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

Yesterday, I found it interesting that someone mocked me, as I warned this person not to pick a fight with me, as a servant of the Lord.

He told me, he serves no one, but himself, and why would I call myself a servant of God?

At this point in the conversation, I was already done with communicating. It had begun with him, asking me, why I believed in God. And I gave this answer. Because we are called to share our faith, our testimonies. I even posted it on my other blog. So I did do my part.

CONVERSATION ABOUT WHY I BELIEVE IN GOD

I believe, because when I was young, I fell through the cracks of life. I was lost, broken, and very hurt. I was headed for hell. I was a sinner, a great sinner. And the Lord, came looking for me. And changed me, as I gave my heart to HIM. I have not looked back since then, I have grown, in this relationship. He has taught me things, that I could fill books with, in fact, I have written three books. And I write for HIM. But I believe, because HE has promises that HE keeps, and I know it, thats why I trust God. There is no greater guarantee, then believing in God, and we all need God. Some are so stubborn, in their pride that they won’t believe. But life is hard, no doubt, and when we need hope, we can have faith, that pleases God, and comforts us.

http://elenaschristianconversations.wordpress.com

(Feel free to subscribe to the blog. I created it, after I realized that some of the conversations, I have which can sometimes be deemed as arguments, really can bring insight. And truth, that I could not always bring here at my main blog. I will just say this, that I have had some interesting conversations, and I do post them here, almost daily.)

Anyway, but my answer was not good enough for this person, and he wanted to argue. He asked me then what a soul was? and I just referred him to God. Because I know how the devil is, he questions God, he questions us in our faith, and challenges us. Adam and Eve sinned, because he asked them questions, and I just had better sense then to get into a debate with this man, and thats what he wanted. He further pursued it, and told me why did it bother me, I knew he was baiting me. So I warned him. I told him.

“Don’t start a fight with a servant of God, don’t. Fair warning.”

This morning I thought about it for a second. And I could have given him more of an answer. But I did not.

But the short answer I could have stated would be, because I would rather serve God than sin. But I did not. Again, I just walked away from that conversation, because there was no appeasing that person, and there are times wisdom tells you walk away. I walked away. Why throw my pearls to swine?

But I did look up a couple of scriptures and I wanted to post them here, in case anybody is asked why themselves? Why do you call yourself a servant of God? And yes to justify why I am a servant of God, and grateful to be called one.

HIS LORD SAID UNTO HIM, WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT THOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL OVER A FEW THINGS, I WILL MAKE THEE RULER OVER MANY THINGS: ENTER THOU INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD. Matthew 25:21.

You know someday, we all will stand before God. The book of life will be opened. Everything I said, or you said, will be judged by God Himself. I never want it to reflect I was ashamed of HIM or HIS truth, His words, His gospel. So I do try and learn and know what God says. From my King James bible, that is holy and anointed.

I want my heart to reflect Christ, because of what HE did on the cross. I want to help others. In my calling, because I believe I am called to warn others about the corruption of bibles, and to use a King James. I want folks to know HIM. For HE is the way, the truth and life. He has done so much for me, including healing me, that I do serve God. I do so grateful, and not ashamed. I do so, because there is no other way, but through Christ. So I serve God.

But this is one reason why I call myself a servant of God, because I never want to hear, I never knew you….

AND THEN WILL I PROFESS UNTO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY. Matthew 7:23 King James.

Every believer should strive to be a servant of God. For this and many other reasons. But here is another King James verse, I have taken to heart, that I want to note here. For better understanding.

But again, because I know either we serve God or the devil, in life, whether or not you believe that or not, its true. Because though you may not serve God, if you are not serving HIM, you are automatically serving the devil. And thats a hard thing to swallow or believe, but it is true. Look at what this scripture says.

AND IF IT SEEM EVIL UNTO YOU TO SERVE THE LORD, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM HE WILL SERVE: WHETHER THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS SERVED THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YE DWELL: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. Joshua 24:14 King James.

Lord, this day and every day I choose to serve you. Me and my house. My family. I proclaim it today. Today is a day, where my faith is challenged, but I trust you Father. No weapon formed against me will prosper. Timing is everything, and I find it ironic, but I state here publicly I am a servant of the most High God. I thank you for teaching me your ways, for showing me, who I can be in Christ. I am not ashamed of the gospel. I am not ashamed of you my Lord Jesus. Father, I give you glory, honor and praise. I serve you, and thank you for this calling. I long to do it with all of my heart. I will not serve your enemy, by sinning, or longing to sin, I denounce your enemy. I submit to you, resist him, and he must flee. I give you all the glory honor and praise. I am grateful to serve you, in Jesus name. I thank you for saving me. For teaching me everything I know about your ways. The benefits are beyond me, for you are so good. For your mercy, dear Jesus. Thank you, that my armor of God is on. Thank you, for everything. My salvation. For I was lost, but now found. Lord, bless this day, you know. For your glory. In your precious sons name. By the blood of Jesus. That I plead. Amen

p.s. I love you Lord. I love you.

I DO NOT UNDERMINE GODS LAW OR WORKS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

That’s so awesome to ponder on. That God loves me. This is why I give God glory. I serve Him With WORKS. Some don’t even know how wrong they are when they undermine HIS LAW OR WORKS, But I KNOW THERE IS A GOD!

So I serve Him, with works, that gives me faith, and I take his Law to heart…So I will stay out of trouble, spiritually.

There is a difference between Gods law and Moses, but they don’t see it. The only law we are free from is the law of sin and death. Not Gods commandments.

EVEN SO FAITH, IF IT HATH NOT WORKS, IS DEAD BEING ALONE. JAMES 2:17 King James.

ROMANS 8:2 FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. ROMANS 8:2. King James.

BLESSED ARE THE UNDEFILED IN THE WAY, WHO WALK IN THE LAW OF THE LORD. PSALM 119:1 King James.

If someone feels led to debate this, I will not, so if you unfriend me, that’s o.k. I still love you in Christ.

Thank you.

DISPATCHING ANGELS ON YOUR BEHALF ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

The Lord, gave me a secret today, and I know, HE knew, I needed it.  Sometimes, spiritual battles can weigh heavy on a person.  You sometimes, don’t see light at the end of your tunnel.  Opposition, can be every where.  When you need a friend, you don’t really have one, so you have to see, Christ is your greatest friend.

Christ is my greatest friend.  And HE knows, that I am not ashamed of my faith.  In fact, I was talking to my husband about that, because every one knows, I love the Lord.  Or that I am a Christian.

Today, some woman was mocking Christians in general.  And I won’t get into what she said.  But I did rebuke her.  In the name of Jesus. I even gave a King James scripture.

Afterwards, the Lord spoke to me, and HE reminded me of the authority I do have in Christ.  See, we can bind, or loose things, in the earth, but heaven, will receive it as well.

VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, WHATSOEVER YE SHALL BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN:  AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.  MATTHEW 18:18 King James.  

So the Lord, reminded me of who I am in Christ.  He has given me authority, to tread on serpents and scorpions as well.

BEHOLD I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY:  AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU.  LUKE 10;19  KJV.  

Enemies, who shoot out darts of venomous hate to me, because of who I am.  In Christ.

And I just felt it so clearly.

TELL THE DEVIL TO SHUT UP!  BECAUSE YOU HAVE AUTHORITY TO DISPATCH ANGELS IF YOU WANT TO!

WOW.  

And I do, have that authority.  Sometimes, we don’t see the spiritual powers, we can have, because well, we know all authority belongs to God.  But there are spiritual gifts God can give us, when we are right with Him, when we are at our wits end.  He will remind us, by the Holy Spirit.  When we have to do what we have to do as Christians, because really thats what its all about.  Bringing glory to God, and bringing all situations, to the obedience of Christ.

Now, I am just speculating, and surmising, this, because I FEAR GOD!  I speak it even here.  I don’t try to over step, or cross into something, that I have no business doing.  If you get my drift.  See, some may do that.  They like power, or they want to make it about self.  And I won’t even get into details.  But some, like to play with spiritual entities.  The thing with that though, is they play right into the devils hands, and they bring curses.  No thank you.

I know who I am in Christ, and I have grown.  I see that.  I attribute that to just trying to be faithful to God.  I am not perfect.  This lady today, when she mocked me, she tried to undermine me.  And with all my faults, and yes I do have some, I know I won’t be totally perfected until I am standing before God.  Then true restoration, will happen, I just know it.

But, I don’t have to be anybodies punching bag, or door mat, because I am a Christian.  See, I am made in the image of God.  I honor Him first.  I obey Him, or try, and when I fail, I do repent, I do try and be humble.  I do try and walk in love first.  I always offer forgiveness. So HE knows.   He gives me courage.  See, I bow before Him, and that makes me able to stand before anybody.  No weapon formed against me will prosper…. I can speak against that.

NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER: AND EVERY TONGUE THAT SHALL RISE AGAINST THEE IN JUDGMENT THOU SHALT CONDEMN.  THIS IS THE HERITAGE OF THE SERVANTS OF THE LORD, AND THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OF ME, SAITH THE LORD.  ISAIAH 54:17 KING JAMES. 

The other day, was a tough day too, I gave someone a piece of my mind.  After all the times, I tried to do right, be a good person, this person snubbed me, yet I was not out of line, I spoke truth.  And it had been building up in me for some time.  But I released it.  But that day, that I was in a battle with my enemy, God brought someone to give me a gift.  Left it on our table, and my enemy saw me being blessed.  It reminded me of Psalms 23:5 King James.

THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES:  THOU ANOINTEST MY HEAD WITH OIL:  MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.  PSALMS 23:5 KING JAMES. 

Anyway, concerning angels, I just want to remind you.  Because I know this about God, HE is very jealous.  And so yes, you can have authority to dispatch angels.  And to bind and loose things in His authority. But you better make sure you are right with God first.  In fear of God.

Don’t pray to them.  Don’t pray to your angels. Don’t put them on a pedestal.  Don’t talk to them, if you speak. Speak it in the name of Jesus first.  Dispatch them.  By asking God.

THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANYTHING THAT IS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH.  THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM:  FOR I THE LORD THY GOD AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE ME.  EXODUS 20:4-5 King James.

You need to really look at this verse very carefully.  If you want to please God.  Have you prayed to someone besides Christ?

FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR, BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.  I Timothy 2:5 King James.  

I would recommend repenting.  See, the way God looks at it, HE sees that you hate Him.  And this can be a generational curse.  You might want to break that, by pleading the blood of Jesus, and even repenting for your ancestors.   By praying to God, through Jesus Christ.

I have always tried to be careful with that.  Because I never want to offend God, but today God said, you can speak in my name, and tell the devil to be quiet, because I am giving you authority to dispatch angels, in my name.

Made me praise HIM even more today!

This is the day, the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it.  Lord, I praise you, and thank you for who you are, and all that you do.  I thank you for my salvation, I thank you Lord, for teaching me truth, and all for your glory.  I thank you for being my defender.  I thank you knowing the battle is always yours. And you never lose my Lord, I am blessed. In Jesus name.    Amen. 

I hope this blesses you, too in Christ.  See I want to serve God, by blessing you, and serving you with truth.
