WHEN YOU SIN, THE ENEMY ADDS ANOTHER LINK TO THE CHAIN OF WICKEDNESS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

I have this spiritual vision, of when we sin, and what happens.  And I will share it with you here.

But when we sin, the enemy, has a net, he uses to immobilize us, to blind us, and its the spirit of wickedness.  It dulls our senses.  Spiritually. We become blind.  We are in a daze. The pleasure of sin, may hypnotize you, or weaken you.  But when you allow sin.  It somehow or another connects us to the enemy, and he adds a link to the chain, so you can be in bondage.  It is wickedness.

YE THEREFORE, BELOVED, SEEING YE KNOW THESE THINGS BEFORE, BEWARE LEST YE ALSO, BEING LED AWAY WITH THE ERROR OF THE WICKED, FALL FROM YOUR OWN STEADFASTNESS.  II Peter 3:17  KJV.

Imagine it, like a glob of glue, this net, and it comes over you, but you cannot do anything, to stop it, because you are now a prisoner of the devil.

Like in a horror movie.

I see how then the enemy uses that, to continually use you, and the more you sin, the more links to the chain, the enemy has, to tie you to hell.

You know you are tied in bondage, but you do not know what to do.

FOR I PERCEIVE THAT THOU ART IN THE GALL OF BITTERNESS, AND IN THE BOND OF INIQUITY.  ACTS 8:23  KJV.

Well, I will tell you what to do.  Seek God.  Repent, for those sins, humble yourself in the sight of God, and He will release you.

See, He is a shepherd by nature.  And you a little lamb, have been entrapped, by the enemy, but only HE can come and save you.

Heres another analogy to look at as well.  You are trapped, in brush, there are thorns there that keep you trapped, and you cannot escape.  You call on Jesus.  He comes to you, because He hears you calling Him.  You plead with Him, to set you free.  He will, but He needs you to accept Him as the Shepherd.

FOR YE WERE AS SHEEP GOING ASTRAY; BUT ARE NOW RETURNED UNTO THE SHEPHERD AND BISHOP OF YOUR SOULS.  I PETER 2:25  KJV. 

He needs you to repent, so you can be right with God.  But since He is the way, the truth, and the life, as John 14:6 says, you have to acknowledge Him, and give your life to Him.  To take care of you.  You have to accept His truths, you have to accept He died for your sins, on the cross, so you can have life.

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD:  THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVETH HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.  JOHN 10:11 KJV.

As you repent, He gently pulls you out of that net, out of that brush. He takes the chains off of you, so you are no longer in bondage, tied up, and He removes that wicked spirit that held you in bondage, and replaces it, with a sweet spirit of peace, and hope, and joy.

IF INIQUITY BE IN THINE HAND, PUT IT FAR AWAY, AND LET NOT WICKEDNESS DWELL IN THY TABERNACLES.  JOB 11:14  KJV.

He replaces that spirit of wickedness, with His love, the Love from God.

This is the power of God, when we totally submit, to God.  But when we do not, when we reject Him, reject His truths, reject love, and reject walking in love.  When we hold onto the ways of the world, or continue to sin, knowing what God says, we are, tied up more and more to the devil, and that is exactly what he wants to do. That is to deceive you, blind you, and keep you in bondage.

When we don’t know what God says, and this is why the enemy blinds people more and more.  They do not get into their King James bibles.  If they search and use another version, that does nothing.  Because the holiness has been taken away.

Wickedness, is an ugly thing.  But it becomes more apparent, the more, and more you sin.

This is why, we should desire, not to sin.  Not even one little sin, because it affects our relationship with God.  He cannot be in a place that is not holy.  As much as He loves us, if we choose to walk away from Him.  He will let us.  Yes, He may remind us, even try to stop us, by reminding us of His love.  But He is a gentleman, and He will let you choose who you want to serve.

FOR THOU ART NOT A GOD THAT HATH PLEASURE IN WICKEDNESS:  NEITHER SHALL EVIL DWELL WITH THEE.  PSALMS 5:4  KJV.

I guess, that analogy of the little lamb, reminds me of me.  Because I did feel trapped.  I was someone who knew the Lord, but I departed from His ways, as a young adult.  I felt like the enemy had a chain on me, and I could not escape.

I could not move, every time I did, the brush the thorns from the brush would cut me.  I cried to God.  I cried to Jesus.  I was in bondage from my sins.  I wanted to be free.  I felt like He came, and set me free.  But as He did, He reminded me, it was my fault for letting the enemy in, it was my fault for not seeing the truth.  He cleansed me, and kept me near Him.

I never wanted to leave Him after that.  So now, He allows me my freedom, but it taught me, never to leave His side.  Because that enemy, the devil would love nothing else but to entrap me again.

Those chains, are no longer tied on me.  I have no desire to be in wickedness, or in sin, because of what He has done for me.  But folks, we have our part.  When I hear people, say, if there was a God, why would He allow this or that?  And all I know, is that I cannot always answer that, but I can answer my part in a situation.  I can look at where I went wrong, and if its not with God, its wrong.  I cannot let religion, or any kind of method, dictate to me, what I should do.  What does God say?  And that is according to my King James bible.  And that bible is holy.

This is why I am who I am.  And I will not apologize to anybody, about it, or let them try to invalidate who I am in Christ.   As much as I have gone through, in my life, I hold onto God, for dear life.  It keeps me free….

IF THE SON THEREFORE SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED.  JOHN 8:36  KJV

I hope this inspires you.  Maybe you can see those chains on yourself, and you need to get free.

Blessings,

HEALING BY CHRIST AS 2017 ENDS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

Healing, we can need spiritual healing, before physical healing can be manifested.   I truly believe, that if we work on our spirits, and ill feelings…. Well, physical healing, can be manifested, and come forward.  

Poisons, unforgiveness, sadness, can wear a person down physically.  To be blunt sin.  Sin, causes illness.  We need to avoid it as much as possible, and I truly believe we must constantly be seeking God.  For God is able.  And more then anything, God loves us.  He is mighty in power, and love.  I know it, and it seems He shows me this, more and more, for which I am grateful.

Sin separates us from God, but repentance clears the slate.  And a sense, to fear God, and obey Him.  

Our emotions, our feelings, our sense of hope, needs Jesus.   We need dear beautiful Jesus.  He who is holy.  He who is the Son of God, who teaches us, truths, and love, and understanding, for even the worse of us.  He who has compassion, and mercy, extends it, but we must understand, and learn, His ways.  

Its very sad, when we receive His love, and mercy, but do nothing with it, or we do not serve Him or others.  Or we get out of our love walk, by being offended.  Brutish, and hard.  

Worse of all when anybody denies Him, they become their own biggest enemy.  Its very sad.  For this is how demonic activity, is activated, that steals ones soul.  Steals the blessings, it steals the wisdom, the understanding.  It blinds one.  

And when Jesus is not a part of our lives, because of others, or because we have gotten cold, and indifferent, we are the ones to blame.  And its not to have compassion, when I write this, or to be judgmental, but we really are responsible for our relationship with Christ.  We have to be wise in these matters, according to what Gods Holy word says.  

We must continue to seek God.  We must do everything in our own power, to stir up, faith, and pursue God, through Christ with our entire being.  By praying, reading our King James bible, (which is Holy) and trying to obey God.  Speaking it to Him, and even to others, that this is a goal.  By being Love, for He is love. 

Why is it that some things, seem to come easier to others, is challenging.  But one must not compare themselves to others.  Though, you may obviously see the difference.  

But we are all responsible, for our own souls, and trying to help others, with anything we can, shows Gods love.  This is why I write this even here.  I want to help you.  I want to pray for you, if you feel led.  To ask me.

But even if you do not, ask me, you can go to His throne.  Just make sure you go there first clearing the slate….. 

You might not be able to write it down, like some can.  You might not be able, to talk, straight forward, and to do so, might make you uncomfortable.

But love never, ever fails, as the scripture says:  Love never fails.  Sad, how little things can pile up,  “how the Little foxes, can steal the vines.”  

I just want to encourage you, to have your faith stirred up.  God does see, and God is able to show you the way.  But focus on Him.  Repent.  Oh you might think, oh I have not done anything.  To repent about.  But did you know that is pride?  What about apologizing to someone else, who you have offended?  

You see, we all do sin, we all do come short of His glory, and well, the enemy looks for ways, to distract us, hurt us, and even deny God.  Even in our inner thoughts.  Don’t ever deny God, if you see that in yourself, repent, and run to the throne of God.  

Don’t do that! Don’t deny God.  You will become your biggest enemy.  

I have hope this year as it ends.  I won’t elaborate as to why.  But I do.  I quieted myself somewhat this Christmas season, and I did not write.  I did not get on social media.  I even distanced myself from beloved friends.  

I was wounded this last year, in 2017, spiritually.  So, I needed to heal myself.  It has been a difficult process, but I think I am coming out of it.  

You see, I myself, daily, had to remind myself to seek God more.  And to do a spiritual check.  Am I forgiving?  Am I walking in love?   Am I remembering who I am in Christ, and what He says, I can take authority over?  What I can bind, or loose….so these are things, I take to heart from Gods holy word.  

I will not if I know I have done something wrong, give the enemy a legal right to attack me.  First of all I would repent, and to any one, I might have offended.  

I will use all I can by submitting to God, resisting the enemy, so I can be blessed, and get my breakthroughs, and please God.  Being humble, can make such a difference.  

Friends, pleasing God is wonderful.  You notice it, when you do….

Well, Happy New Year.  I pray you find your healing, for 2018, and your health spiritually and physically is manifested, by protecting you, through God.   He can heal your soul, and physical body, seek Him.  Like the saying goes, Wise men and women still seek Him.  

TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART, AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING.  IN ALL THY WAYS, ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.  BE NOT WISE IN THINE OWN EYES, FEAR THE LORD, AND DEPART FROM EVIL.  IT SHALL BE HEALTH TO THY NAVEL, AND MARROW TO THY BONES.  PROVERBS 3:5-8. King James only.  

Give God glory friends, it may begin by speaking out there, and just never, ever be ashamed of who Christ is in you.  Who cares what the enemy thinks?  Who cares what others think?  Why one gets that mindset of what others think, can be so destructive, to our own growth, and spiritual health.

 Think about what God sees, if you would deny Him.  He is the one, we always have to please.  He is the one who sees, I know, my above photo proved that to me.  He answers…..  

I just felt God prompt me about that, because many do not express their faith, and become ashamed.  And that will steal from you, and it is exactly what the enemy wants to do.  That ugly old enemy has always wanted to steal from God.  Don’t let that happen, give God glory.  For He is mighty and good, merciful, and worthy of all our praise, adoration, and love.  

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST….GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISE, OH LORD, HOW GREAT YOU ARE!  THANK YOU FATHER, FOR HEALING ME, THIS 2017 INTO 2018.  HALLELUJAH….<3

 

Blessings, and love,

REMEMBER THE LOVE THE GOOD TIMES TO GO ON EVEN IF YOU ARE HURT ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

REMEMBER THE LOVE THE GOOD TIMES TO GO ON EVEN IF YOU ARE HURT ~ By Elena Ramirez

Sometimes, people have to speak things over us, by God so we can see it. So, this is what I will do for you, as my husband spoke this over me.

You see, I had a very dear friend, who I loved dearly. And we were friends for over 25 years. I loved this lady dearly, and you know what she loved me. She was a very generous lady, a very kind lady, in Christ. We both were prayer warriors.

But people change, and I suppose I did too. And well the enemy divided us up. I never thought, I would see that day, but it did happen.

And I won’t go into all the details, but when respect is not given or received, or when one is rejected, well one walks away. I did. Maybe I misunderstood, but since she would not clarify it, thats what I interpreted.

Anyway, long story short, its been over a month. Since we have talked. And I don’t expect her or me to budge in this. Its not that I have pride, but I know when I have done all I can and so, I know I could not add anything more.

But I found myself getting bitter about it, angry, yes I told her I forgave, and I do. But sometimes, you can war within yourself in these matters. I did.

Last night my husband and I were briefly talking about it. And I said, I just feel indifferent now. Not that I don’t care, because I do, but I just am disappointed.

He told me, you know, you need to just let it go. You outgrew each other, and just remember the good in her, she is a good person, and for what it was worth, she blessed you, you blessed her, and now its done. Its over.

Something about his words, ministered to me. I went to sleep finally at peace about it. I prayed God bless her. She is a very kind, and generous person, and she made me laugh, and we were good friends, but sometimes, things change.

People outgrow each other, for different reasons. I suppose she outgrew me, and not that I outgrew her, because I accepted her as she was.

But I accept her choices now, and I RESPECT, her reasons. Even though I do not understand. I can go on.

Perhaps, you struggle, with someone, from your past. Someone you love. A friendship, or even a love. Remember the love, the kindness, the friendship, and don’t demonize them, or hate them, but just release them, with the love, the good that bound you.

See you have to make sure poison, of unforgiveness does not affect you. You have to make sure you are doing your part according to Christ. I cannot control the situation, but I can control how I react to it. I release her in Christ, because she was a gift.

There is a saying, if you love someone, let them go, and if they are yours they will return. I love my friend, enough to walk away, and let her go. I don’t seek to return, to her, nor do I think she seeks to return to me. It is what it is. But I accept it now, with forgiveness in my heart.

But I have peace, and thank God for the times, we were friends, it nurtured me, and I rejoice in the gift of what it was then. It was a gift.

But some gifts, are returned to the sender. No matter what the heart felt intention was. If it was not true, it will show itself. See gifts are just something that is icing on the cake.

But if the sentiment, does not follow up with respect it does not prove itself.

Oh well. God bless your day.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH ~ DO YOU USE IT OR ABUSE IT? By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

FREEDOM OF SPEECH DO YOU USE IT OR ABUSE IT? By Elena Ramirez

I am grateful to God for our freedoms, here, in the United States.  Many are using that right, even now with our new President.  Donald J. Trump. To protest, and express how they feel.  But they cross a line, when they riot.  

I do not agree with many of these views.  Because they are not my core values, but I do respect freedom of speech.  But what I see, is many hide behind their computer, or even publicly say, and do things with freedom of speech that makes me cringe.  They abuse it. 

So lately, I don’t know, I have been seeing a lot of abuse. By many. And I guess it even concerns me, when I see a brother or a sister, in Christ abuse it.

People, I love.

Look, God gives us each a conscience. But maybe you will just consider what I am about to say as love. Maybe a guideline to help you.

But let me ask you a few questions…
Is what your sharing, is it truth?
Is it a lie?
Is it love?
Or is it hate?
Is it mean spirited?
Is it something, that will bring understanding?
Is it something, that is not a bad example for others to learn from? Hmmm.
Is it something that respects?
Is it something that disrespects?
Does it bring unity to us as Americans, and yes even people of other races, creeds, religions etc.

Or does it set out to cause division?

Are you promoting life? Or are you promoting something that hurts life? And takes it away…..

Is your agenda, Gods agenda?

All of these things are just things we can miss. I know, I probably do. And for that I repent to God. We need to find the balance. I am not your conscience. You are. I know, myself, I have erred….

But I also know…..

If God is your savior, you know, He knows your thoughts…..

But there are things, I just shake my head at, because its as if the person, is not really thinking…..

For, when I see a brother or a sister, playing with someones emotions. And they put out something, that may make ME sympathize with them, and even bring out outrage, or anger, because they were hurt, or insulted, and then THEY say;

“Hey I was just playing with you” I was pulling your leg.

I look at that as very immature.

Its a spirit, you are releasing that is a lie, and then you call it a joke. It harms your spirit, because you are practicing lying….

You have to look at the fruit of it, and what it gives, and what it does for you. And yes even others.

I don’t trust lies, or liars, and when I see someone who I trusted use that kind of illustration, to make me think different. Or to play with my emotions. I do, no longer, trust the integrity of that person.

Its like the analogy of the little boy, who cried wolf. Making people believe him, but when they saw the lie, they stopped believing him. But the sad thing happened, the wolf really did appear. No one believed him, when he truly spoke the truth….

Look, I want to be very general about this. But lets remember.

Freedom of speech is a gift. Its something we need to honor, and protect. It should not be used, to incite, evil, or violence, or anything that goes against what Christ taught us in love. The report, should bring light, not darkness, to ourselves or others.

Yes, and truth does not always means it won’t hurt. It will…

But, use love if your going to bring truth to it. Look, I am a warrior, but even God teaches warriors to be diplomatic.

I take to God what my KJV Says, and I don’t want to just pick and choose, for my purposes.

Just food for thought, this morning. Freedom of speech…do you use it, or abuse it?

FINALLY BRETHREN, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE HONEST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE JUST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE OF GOOD REPORT, IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, AND IF THERE BE ANY PRAISE THINK ON THESE THINGS…..THESE THINGS WHICH YE HAVE BOTH LEARNED AND RECEIVED, AND HEARD, AND SEEN IN ME DO: AND THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL BE WITH YOU. PHILIPPIANS 4:8-9. KJV.

I just realize if we are going to use our voices, we really need to stop, and think, and be responsible.  

Accountable to God and others.  In love… I never want to abuse this gift.  

Blessings in Christ, Elena Ramirez

Do you ever sometimes, feel helpless, when people say mean things, and you don’t want to argue, but you know you should say something, but you don’t?

Well there is wisdom in that.

But, there are times wisdom should give you the boldness, the utterance, to stand and speak against something, or someone, a thought, an ideology, because it is wrong.

There is something fascinating, about sometimes seeing someone speak their mind. And even if it shocks you sometimes, you may admire someone, who does do that. Or be in shock, because they did, and you have no words, for that.

Timing is everything, because if the moment goes, and you don’t speak for or against that, you could lose your chance. I often pray for wisdom in this. Because there are some things, no matter what you say in return, it won’t matter.

Yet there are times, you cannot be so passive, or naive not to say something, because it gives someone with a bully mentality, permission to keep doing something like that.

I always look at the root of why someone, says something, or does not. And it always comes down, to what kind of spirit do they have? Is it love? Which comes from God. Or is it hate, which comes from the enemy, the devil?

I have asked God for discernment, to know when to speak. To know when I should take and use the authority, God gives me. I have not fine tuned this, but I do pray, for wisdom. Because there are some things, you have to say, in the name of Jesus, that is wrong, when people say some of the things they do.

But, may I add, God can fine tune me.  

I just know, as an American, I have freedom of speech, and so I use it.   I will not let people intimidate me, or try to make me feel insecure, by my race, and I guess I am writing this, because yesterday, just by my name they tried to use a racial insult, to try and do that, and I told them who I am.  

As an American, and as someone who understands and knows the Constitution, etc.  But someone, who has mastered the English language, that kind of slant against me, would not work.  I will not let people tell me I don’t have that right, just because of my race.  

No matter what the situation, with God, you can speak up.  And you get courage, you get wisdom, and you call it for what it is.

But I tell you, because I have learned this…..Glory to God!

If you bow before God, you can stand in front of anyone.  

PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT, AND WATCHING THEREUNTO WITH ALL PERSEVERANCE AND SUPPLICATION FOR ALL SAINTS; AND FOR ME, THAT UTTERANCE MAY BE GIVEN UNTO ME, THAT I MAY OPEN MY MOUTH BOLDLY, TO MAKE KNOWN THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL. FOR WHICH I AM AN AMBASSADOR IN BONDS; THAT THEREIN I MAY SPEAK BOLDLY, AS I OUGHT TO SPEAK.

EPHESIANS 6:18-20 KING JAMES.

Playing the race card, makes you a racist.  And if you play that card, don’t be surprised, if the door swings back and hits you.  

Sadly, we look at someone who is a racist, and we hate, the injustice of it.  Usually, it is because someone, who is mean spirited, and hateful, that does terrible things to others.  Because of their race.  Do you see the full circle of it?  It causes hate.  Which is not good.  

Well, the sad thing, is when you start demanding your rights, because of your race.  And you pull out that race card.  Whether good, or bad, for your race, it is the same principle.  It makes you a racist.  I don’t care, what color you are.  That makes you a racist.

Hollywood, right now, is having a boycott.  During the Academy Awards.  By two famous, married actors.  And other high profile personalities.  Because of their race.  Because they did not get recognized.  Did you notice I am not mentioning them by their race?

I am not in hollywood.  I don’t play by those politics.  Or rules of engagement.  But, my goodness, what a gifted actor he is, and what a beautiful woman she is.  And they have had more opportunities, then me, or even the average person.  

I have always fought discrimination.  But in a different way.  By trying to make myself a better person.  By being a Christian.  By learning the characteristics and ways of my God, and His Son, our Lord Jesus.

I am Hispanic. The stereo types of my nationality, of my race, have always put me at a disadvantage, when it comes to ignorant people.  From looking at you, to see if you only speak Spanish.  Or stereo type you by wearing a sombrero, or whatever.  When people even address, you by your name, and tell you, if you are “legal” you should vote for a certain person.  

This just happened to me yesterday.  Where I was in a discussion, on a political post.  For Ted Cruz.  And I called that person out, and I gave them a piece of my mind.  I write out conversations often to record my quotes, and thoughts, and this is what I said in this one.:

“Go somewhere else, another country!  With that discrimination, that is just like “the candidate you support running for office.”  But how dare you tell me this by my name!  Let me inform you, educate you.  You moron.  I am an American.  Fourth generation. That means my ancestors were Americans by birth.  It also means I am probably more American because of my indigenous roots.  This is what is wrong with your candidates agenda and fools that follow that kind of agenda.  You are prejudiced, and it shows.  I have nothing further to say to your lack of class and intelligence.  Have a nice day.”  

My response, and I can say it myself.  Sounds harsh.  Maybe not even the Christian way.  I am a Christian but I am not perfect.  And I understand the injustice of racism.  My parents, told me at an early age, what racism did to them being in the Eisenhower era, and he rounded up Hispanics.  And shipped them back to Mexico.

I have seen myself, being denied, respect, by my race, even in the Corporate business world.  And yes, it makes me angry.  But even though I may get angry, and I may give you a piece of my mind, I still want to take a higher road.  And sadly, yes, there are many ignorant, prejudiced people.  Who hate.  They hate by the race, by the package someone comes in.  

Martin Luther King, had a beautiful thought, when he said, and I am paraphrasing, “I want to be judged by the integrity, and character of who I am”.  He was a man of God.  And I know with compassion, because history tells us, of so many atrocities, that have been done because of race.  My heart breaks when I see, how it destroys someones confidence, because of mean people who are racists.  It is ugly.

So many, have actually used genocide, to wipe away a people, a culture, a race.  Jews, suffered greatly because of this.  But they don’t hate.  Now, what they do, is defend themselves as they should, but they don’t put people down.  They are a good example of what to do as well.  They fight back now.  

And if you have to fight, then fight right, by doing what is right in the sight of God.  God is love.  And we are to have the characteristics of Christ in love.  

But scripture also tells us, He is not a respecter of persons.  Maybe, if I did not have my American upbringing, knowing the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and my Christian upbringing, I may have just not said anything.  I may have let that lady mock me, and insult me.  But something rose in me, because I know God is not a respecter of persons.  

Acts 10:34 King James.  THEN PETER OPED HIS MOUTH, AND SAID, OF A TRUTH I PERCEIVE THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS:

That means, He loves us all the same.  He looks at what we do, if we have accepted Christ as Lord and savior.  He looks, to see, if we repent.  For we ALL sin, we all come short of the glory of God.  He looks at our souls.  What do we have in our souls?  And if you are a racist, maybe you should see, by His example, that you should repent.  

So why should we be racists?  Why should any of us, take that kind of vision, that does not come from God?  Especially even now, I see it in this political campaigns of some.  

For even our King James bibles, and history tell us of wars, between people, and cultures.  

Do I want to engage in battle, over racial issues?  No.  

And I think we have a choice.  But we better look at who we like, why we like them, and are we someone, who wants to demand and play the racist card, because of race?  

I will defend you, if I see someone discriminated by their race.  Thats just my nature.  The big sister, who did not have a big sister to defend her.  But I like that same kind of defense.  We need to look out for one another.  We need to speak up.  We need to say, thats wrong.  Especially if we are Christians.  

I hope Hollywood, finds some kind of peace in this, but, again, I can only speak for myself.  I am a writer, I am a Christian writer.  I am an American.  Born and raised.  

But none of that means anything, unless I can write.  And prove it to God and others, that I write to serve my God.  But its not by the race card, I am playing to get recognition, or to even get a job.  Or getting a book deal.

Its by knowing what God says by my King James bible.  A true and holy word, that is not corrupted by men, or publishers.  It is…Applying it to my life, and to others.  Anything else is vanity.  Its being puffed up, and it is not worthy of recognition.  

For, it is taking, a gift of words, a knowledge that I have strived to learn, and commanding them to good use, for the Kingdom of God.  

With love, for myself, for you, for others….

What a mighty, good, and awesome, God I serve. Sometimes, just a thought, that He gives by the Holy Spirit, touches me, comforts me, and gives me hope. And all based on His promises from my King James Bible.

I don’t care what people think. They don’t live my life. They don’t know what Christ has done for me, how He has forgiven me. Extended mercy. Healed me, and so much more.

The other day someone told me I was “brainwashed” because I believe in Jesus. And I just said, I am forgiven. I am not lost. This person, laughed at me, and I shared Galatians 6:7. To show God is not mocked.

But when I was talking to my Lord, He told me:

“You are not “brainwashed” you are “soul washed”, because you believe in me”.

Thats the difference, and we should all know that.  But our minds can be changed as well.  By the washing of our souls.  We can have the mind of Christ.  

I CORINTHIANS 2:16 KJV

FOR WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM?  BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.  

Enough, of people mocking, or putting down something that is holy and true. I know the difference. And I am so grateful for what Christ has done for me. And because I am soul washed, I will give Him glory, for the rest of life.

Some can deny Him, some can be ashamed, some can be quiet. To each their own. Sadly….

Some may not know. But I do. There is a God, He rules, and reigns. He is mighty and in power. The fool says there is no God.  See Psalm 14:1 King James.

I know there is, a true and mighty God.

I will not blame Him for my sins. My heartaches. I know we reap what we sow. From that above scripture.

And I pray to make it up to Him for the rest of my life, for His glory. I highlight this bottom scripture with quotes, to prove, He “WASHED” me from my sins.

I Love you all, I hope you know Christ loves you too.

AND FROM JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, AND THE FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, AND THE PRINCE OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH. UNTO HIM THAT LOVED US, AND “WASHED” US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD, AND HATH MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO GOD AND HIS FATHER; TO HIM BE GLORY AND DOMINION FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN. REVELATION 1:5-6.
