RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE OVER THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN UNTO THEIR PRAYERS: BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THEM THAT DO EVIL. I PETER 3:12 KING JAMES.I WANT TO BE A SOUL WINNER EVEN FOR THE “LOST” RIGHTEOUS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
I want to be a soul winner even for the “lost” righteous. Does that make sense? Yea, it does, because there are many who think they are righteous, they think they are saved. They think their salvation is in tact. But its not. They think they have a license to sin. One needs to repent.
What they don’t know, is any kind of sin, separates us from God.
BEHOLD THE LORDS HAND IS NOT SHORTENED, THAT IT CANNOT SAVE: NEITHER HIS EAR HEAVY, THAT IT CANNOT HEAR: BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD, AND YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE FROM YOU, THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR. ISAIAH 59:1-2. KJV.
Lets look at this scripture in more detail. You pray, but you do not get answers. Why? We need to all ask ourselves that.
Look at that second sentence. It states; But your iniquities have separated between you and your God. Wow! That tells me, you gave your heart to Christ, believing you were saved. But your iniquities have separated you between you and your God. Your God! Look at it! So that tells me, you have sin, on your record. In the book of life.
Here, in Exodus 32:33 it tells us:
AND THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES, WHOSOEVER HATH SINNED AGAINST ME, HIM WILL I BLOT OUT OF MY BOOK.
WOW, double Wow! That book the Lambs book of life, always determines if your name is written in blood, by the blood of Jesus. If you neglect it, abuse it, treat your salvation shabbily, then yea, your name can be removed. Blotted out. Look up that key word, in a King James. (another reason to promote the King James to find truth)
The thing is, and lately, I seem to be in a few of these battles with so called brothers and sisters in Christ, they debate it. They argue it, they bring up other scriptures, that try to contradict the truth, but it can be lost folks. Salvation can be taken away…..
There is no fear of God. To many. We are to work out our salvation, with fear and trembling. Fear of who? God Almighty, who holds the keys to heaven and earth.
WHEREFORE, MY BELOVED, AS YE HAVE ALWAYS OBEYED, NOT IN MY PRESENCE ONLY, BUT NOW MUCH MORE IN MY ABSENCE, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. Phillipians 2:12 KJV.
Many, have the misconception, that works don’t cut it. But it does. Work it out! Faith without works is dead.
FOR AS THE BODY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT IS DEAD, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO. JAMES 2:26.
A few days ago, I had an interesting conversation or battle with a man, who did not believe he could lose salvation. He went back and forth, in the conversation. But what I noticed was that he always made it about him. Or “I” of this, or that.
And I was trying to get him to see that, yes, salvation could be lost. But, I believed he was saved now, but he just could not grasp that, the conversation was also about others. He made it all about him, and thats what the devil did. Self, I, me, me, me….Thats dangerous, when we cannot see beyond me.
You see, those scriptures above talks about works. We are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling of God. But we are also commanded, to warn others. Works, is just telling someone, don’t take your salvation for granted.
Anyway, after much patience, because this guy was getting on my nerves, he realized, what I was trying to tell him. That it was not just about him, but about others, who may think their salvation is in tact, but they are lost, they are “Backsliders” and they are in spiritual jeopardy if they die, because they would have unrepented sin.
He finally admitted, and I am paraphrasing his words. “I was lost, then I was saved, then I was lost, and saved again. But now I know I am saved.”
Many, have the misconception, that because they were saved, that it guarantees salvation, even if they sin. And that is wrong, that is dangerous, and that is really a deception from the devil.
Look, I can say this as a testimony. I was saved at an early age. But I had no sense or value, of how precious my salvation was. So I sinned. If I had died, before I repented, I truly believe, I would have lost my salvation. Once saved is not always saved.
And its dangerous to believe that, or to influence others that it is safe.
We are called to warn one another. Ezekiel 33, and I ask please look at it from a King James. It tells us, about the righteous. And if he commits iniquity, all his righteousness, will be forgotten, and he will die.
Die! We are to have life eternally with Christ. Christ, died and abolished only the law of sin, and death.
So many have this misconception, that grace will cover it. That keeping the “law” of God is not necessary. That is so wrong, if God commands it, or even says it. It is LAW! Don’t question it, don’t reason it, don’t ponder on it. OBEY GODS LAW!
No. It only covers it, if you repent. If you have sinned. Do not misinterpret grace, or Gods goodness. He is not mocked.
When I was young, I was a soul winner. I have always tried to be a soul winner, but I believe God is directing me to try and save the righteous, who think they are saved, but are lost, because they do not know King James truth. They have no fear of God. They do not repent.
Its so sad, we have a battle, a big challenge, because so many are misled, misunderstanding, misinterpreting scripture, because they don’t use the truth, and the holiness of a King James bible.
It makes me sad.
In Ezekiel 33, that chapter I ask that you read, it tells us to warn people.
If we do we set ourselves free. I see it myself, the boldness, God gives me.
And though, my brothers and sisters think I am judging them, that is just a lie from the devil.
I tell them this truth, because I love them because Jesus loves them. Its not judging. Its warning. And warning is love. Just like Ezekiel 33 tells us to do.
Just my thoughts, but I want to be a soul winner, for the righteous, who are lost.
All I know, is if we clear the slate, by even daily repenting, we can ensure our salvation.

SACRILEGIOUS ~ ARE YOU MOCKING CHRISTMAS? ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
It is really sad, that in this time, we live in, that we have come to the place, where we see our society, mocking, and defaming, the things of sanctity, of Holiness, of God. Of Christmas…..
I turn on my television, and I hear reports, of famous actors, making a mockery of this, and that of God. You read it in the news reports, that someone, is opposing, or enforcing, fining someone, for just expressing Christ. In HOA’s rules, or whatever. Schools, not even singing Christmas songs. Or singing Christmas songs, but changing the lyrics from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays. Stores, and merchants, instructing their employees, to say Happy Holidays, instead of Merry Christmas.
America, is not fighting for their faith. Or so it seems, because there is a passiveness. And our rights, are diminshing….Our rights to worship, to believe, should be accepted. To pray….But instead, it is all so controversial. This is what our founding Fathers, came here for. For freedom in religious rights, and expression.
I just saw a report, where a famous actress (if you want to call her that) played the virgin Mary, and she spoke profanity. And people review this, and they accept it. As humor.
You know, I just have to say right here, God is not mocked. In any aspect. And they will reap, what they sow. They will stand before God, when their life is over, and will have to give an account, of what they did. To Christians. By slandering the name of God, and by using His name, in curse words, etc. By not accepting His gospel. God will have His final say. He may not be saying anything, now, but they will reap, what they sow. We all will. But one prays, to hear….”Well done, good and faithful servant!” At least I do….
And I would not wish “hell” on anyone. Even my worst enemy. In fact, I pray for my enemies. I pray, for those who have so much hate in them, that they want to hurt others for believing in Christ. I pray for their souls. Because I know, what it means to believe, in Christ, and what it does to not believe. And I would never trade my faith, my hope, the beauty of who He is in my life. The peace, and the joy, I have, by believing His word. But they will perish, and will regret it…..
Christmas, has been so commercialized, and the true meaning of who Christ is,has been rejected, and neglected, in the meaning. Its about Christ, the son of God, who was sent to this world, to save us. If we only believe. Born of a virgin, born into humble beginnings, because He understood. His life, was planned by God, so if we believe, we can have hope in who He is. But the world, has perverted it.
As Christians, it is our responsibility, to teach this to our children, grandchildren, and to be a voice of light, in a dark world. The world does not know. Its sad, and pathetic, that truly the true meaning of Christmas is not being expressed, by musicians, by the media, by Hollywood, and by us, as Christians.
It is sad, to say that, because when you know the saving grace of Christ, one knows, how merciful, and kind He is. I know… The great sacrifice, of His life, for us. That Christ went to the cross, for each and every one of us, that believes. He gives us this chance in our lifetimes. To change, to accept His ways, to live a better life. To have peace, hope in something….
But, some are so intent, in defaming, that which is good. Mocking it.
Galatians 6:7
BE NOT DECEIVED: GOD IS NOT MOCKED: FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.
With no respect. If they only knew….but how will they unless we tell them? Unless we show them, by our own testimonies, the goodness of God, through Christ? That He is the way, the truth, and life? How will they know? My heart yearns, to be that light, to show others in darkness, that the son of God, is the light of the world…..
But it seems at Christmas time, there is more of a outcry, from the world, from unbelievers, to try and put down, things related to Christ. Christ~ianity, Christ~mas, Christ~mas trees, and on, and on, and on.
Trying to take away the rights, of believers, trying to disfuse, the beauty that has to do with Christ. And why, sadly, and some cannot relate to this, but they are led by the devil.
I pray, for our future generations, if Christ does not return by then. Because to have freedom, to express, who you are in Christ, is a right. But when you know who Christ is in you. You know your own rights, in living. According to Gods standards. And there is no other standard, to test, when you know Gods truth. You know the difference, between holy and evil. Good and bad….
Our American soldiers, have fought for that right. They are fighting right now. This is a religious war we are in, a spiritual battle. But there is also a battle, in the heavenlies. And God is going to win this battle. It says, so, according to Gods word. (Read Revelation)
Look I don’t know who my audience is in this. But, if I could only plead with you, to stop, and see, and STOP the persecution, the hate, the evil, by denying Christmas. You would see a difference, if you only went to the throne of God, and repented, and asked God, to show you the truth, the true spirit of Christmas, He would.
Read Luke chapters 1 and 2. From Gods Holy word, the Bible. Say a prayer, even if you do not know how to pray. Ask God, to reveal the truth, the beauty of Christmas, and see God do something so astounding, that will reveal, love. Christmas is love. For God is love….
Please see this, and no longer mock that which is Holy. Are you mocking Christmas? I plead with you, for your own soul. I do pray for you. Open your eyes, if you do not, you will regret it, for eternity.
And I pray, as believers, we would shine, our lights, brighter, and bolder for Christ, as our gift to him, for the gift of Salvation, He has given us. Merry Christmas, Glory to God in the highest peace, on earth, and good will to all. Luke 2:14.
Just my thoughts with Christmas love, Elena Ramirez
Father, I praise you, and thank you for Christmas, for Christ, who came to save the world. Help us, as believers, protect us, from the lies of the enemy, and give us utterance, to speak truth, and love. Concerning who Christ really is. And the true meaning of Christmas. Use this, for your glory, in Jesus name. Amen.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF IN CHRIST~By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Its Autumn, a season, of change. A season, as some things die away, and the earth, changes and life can go into hibernation, or dormancy.
An adjustment, has to be made, in this season of Autumn, to prepare for winter.
Lifestyles, change, from doing things differently, then when the weather, is warm. Wildlife, prepares for winter. I look at the Squirrels, they store food, and they understand this time, between winter, and summer, and that they must prepare now, to survive.
People, prepare as well, and begin preparing for the cold winter, in Autumn. The anticipation of the cold, causes people, to turn over a new leaf, as the leaves do fall. Because one does just sense, you have to do things, in this season of Autumn. People, bring in their summer furniture. They turn their gardens, they prepare…..
Well in the spirit world, one can see, in this season, that this may be a time, to change. A time, to prepare, for the cold, in a different way. God gave us four seasons. He wanted us to have a change, in our lives, by the change of seasons. And in most places, one can see the changes.
Physically, things do seem to die. Or do they? Sure the leaves fall, the flowers, stop blooming, but many flower and plant species, do survive, the harsh winters. And when spring, returns, their root systems, kick, in, and they begin blooming again….and so the cycle, goes on and on.
As a Christian, we know, when we die, we will live with Christ that is His promise to us. So, we should not fear death, for as the scripture says, to be out of the body, is to be present with the Lord. II Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. We can keep blooming. So to speak…What a wonderful promise, to know, we will live with Christ for eternity. Because we live, move, and have our being in Christ.
When someone is going through something, and it may be the end of that season, they can relate to Autumn. It could be a death, of a loved one, it could be a job, that ends. Or a divorce. They can relate, that in this season, change is inevitable.
I have often marveled, at those, who do not know Christ, as their Lord and savior. And how do they get by, when they go through things, and they see the end of something, or they see a change of season, in their life, but they have nothing to have hope in? Do they just think it is the end. And thats it?
I am so glad, that I have learned. That, God always has a plan. But, we do have to search for him, and that plan, by seeking him.
I sense a change of season for me. Spiritually. I feel differently in the spirit. I feel more then, ever, I know who God is. I know, that I know, that God is spirit, and those that worship him worship him in spirit, and truth. More then ever, and I want to make sure, this is understood. I know, that I know there is a God.
For some reason, I feel, like everything, I have learned, or gone through, will have purpose, for the plan God has for me. I have waited on the Lord, for a long time. And in the natural, I have not seen much of a change. But within, I know, that I know, I have turned over a new leaf in Christ. I believe, more then ever, I am ready to be used by the master. I am preparing myself, as God has prepared me.
I want to live a life that is holy. Not judgmental or where I would try to look at myself, as “holier than thou” because God is not a respecter of persons. But I want to live a life, that honors Christ, and His sacrifice. More then ever….More then I ever could hope for. But by Christ only.
I think about how we go through things in the spirit, and in the season, we may be in, we may not understand, we may not even know, why things are the way, that they are.
But, walking with Christ, these past few years, have taught me, about faith, about obedience, about love….and more then anything about who I can be in Christ. Persevering. Learning, though, I may be walking through something difficult, I am passing through. Like the scripture of Psalms 23:4. Yea though, I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, thy rod, and thy staff comforts me. Autumn, sometimes, in the spirit, can feel like death, but we can walk through, with Christ. Guiding us. Holding onto Him, no matter whether it is good, or bad. Just holding onto him because of his plan…..
God does not change, but we do. You know, Holiness, needs to be a goal, for us as Christians. Its not expressed often, but we need to be reminded of this. Because the word says, if we do not become holy like God, we will not see God.
III JOHN 1:11 BELOVED FOLLOW NOT THAT WHICH IS EVIL, BUT THAT WHICH IS GOOD. HE THAT DOETH GOOD IS OF GOD: BUT HE THAT DOETH EVIL HATH NOT SEEN GOD.
LEVITICUS 19:2 SPEAK UNTO THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND SAY UNTO THEM YE SHALL BE HOLY FOR I THE LORD YOUR GOD AM HOLY.
JOHN 3:3 JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM. VERILY, VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
You know someday, we are all going to stand before God, and to know, if He would hide His face, and ban that person, from the Kingdom of God, it would be, because they did not want to live a life holy of God. They did not accept Christ as Lord, and savior, and Gods plan for salvation. I just sense, more then ever….It is so important, to renew our mind daily with the word of God. Being in our Lords love. For, I can just see the angels, stopping them, at the gate, and they will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God, because they denied Gods holiness. To live, while they were on earth.
Dear one, may this season, be a season, where you and I reflect on who Christ is. That we reflect on his suffering, on his love, on His plan to save us from the curse of sin. That we would know, His body was broken, so we can become whole. That He was mocked, and sorrowful, so we can rejoice, in love. We need to know the power, of the cross, and that yes He died, but was resurrected, and got the keys from hell for us. So, we truly can live, and life abundantly, not only now, but for eternity. We need to know….so we can change and turn over a new leaf in Christ.
Dear one, we need to be in revulsion, concerning sin. Totally disgusted, totally in a place, where we do not want to behold any evil thing. Or anything, that will compromise our walks with Christ. We must learn, and want to hate sin. Not sinners, because Christ loved sinners. And we ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. But we must hate sin.
We in our society, can become so desensitized, to the things we see on televison, in life, in communication, we need to be in fear of God, and turn away from things, that take away that holiness. Be aware of the tactics of the devil.
Turn a new leaf in Christ, and have a true change in the spirit. Let our Lord Jesus, in His holiness, of Him, the Father, and the Holy Spirit, be your guide….
With love, in Christ, Elena Ramirez
Father, I thank you, for all you have done for me, and will continue to do for me. I praise you, for who you are, in your greatness, in your Holiness. For purity, of heart, you give us, taking away the sins of our own, of our past, of our ancestors, of all that displeases you, as we seek you through Jesus Christ. You break curses. Lord, I pray, for a heart that is worthy to be called holy in your sight. Lord, it is true, our efforts, are like filthy rags. In comparison to you, and what Christ did for us. Lord, help us, help me, for I can only judge myself, in this, but help my heart to be right in your sight. Protect it, from the enemy. Give me wisdom, to not look at, or concentrate on anything that is not of you. Lord, there are so many aspects to the spiritual, we may not understand, but I pray, by being mindful to be obedient, to be submissive to you, and your Holy word, I can find my way. Lord, help me this season, to have a change of heart, in the spirit, toward holiness, as I turn over a new leaf, even in this Autumn season. Of 2011. In Jesus name. Amen

PREPARATION THEN, SAY A PRAYER…..~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Preparation….
Go to your quiet place. Its in the garden. The birds are singing. There is beauty in that sound. Quietly, you close the door behind you. You want to be with your holy Father.
And you do not want to be interrupted. No distractions. But it does not matter, you know he hears you wherever you are. He is always with you, he will never leave or desert you. You know this. You are grateful. In this moment, you, concentrate on God. All that he has done, his great creation. Everything, comes to this moment. Of just knowing. He is God. He is the King of Kings. With all your heart, you know, for you are a believer in Jesus Christ, as your savior. Taking this opportunity, by divine appointment to ponder on the goodness of God. You remind yourself, you will need to know in your heart, all he has done for you, and if needed concentrate on past times, when you felt the presence of God. You remember times, he has protected you. Spared you.
With all your heart, offer him glory, and praise. Worship him. For you are in awe, of his majesty. Seek him, with every ounce of your being. Nothing else matters, but who he is, and who you are in him. For you are his child, precious in his sight. Gifted, and blessed, though you might not even see it, you have potential to do great and wonderful things, so wonderful, that you do not even fathom them. But God knows. He is waiting for you.
An overwhelming sense of love, floods your heart. A flood of light overwhelms you. You hear his voice. He is calling you to renew your mind. Search the scriptures. He will reveal a word for you. To do things differently, to want to change within yourself, to be in that place of holiness. Take that word, it is a promise from him, prepare it in your heart, think on it, ponder it, memorize it. Say it over and over. Because that is where the true power is. He honors his own word. You want to honor him, by speaking his word. For he is holy, and is calling you to be holy. In this moment, humble yourself, in the sight of God, for you are in the presence of the almighty King of Kings.
Now is the moment, to repent. If there is something in your heart, that is weak, or doubts, you will not grow to be the person you need to be. You need to know there are principles that need to be evident, that show your faith.
You want to please God, so you search your heart. It may not even be a sin you know of. But maybe something that did not show faith, or trust in God.
Maybe something you said, that was not nice. Whatever it is, and you do not know, you ask God, to show you your sins, so you can be free. With your eyes closed, quiet, and alone, with your thoughts, and with the goal of cleansing, see yourself shedding your sins. Those things, that need changing, and healing, rearranging.
They are falling off, like leaves that are no longer on a tree. See where the sins were, and look at your skin, it is being regenerated, even as you look. New life. Life, is all about you, and on you. For you are on the vine with Christ, and as a branch, there is new life. Paradise is in your heart. Your cup of joy, is being filled. Peace that surpasses all understanding, is holding you, still keeping you still.
You are in awe that somehow there is a transformation of new life about you. See yourself again, you are clothed in clothes of righteousness, royal colors, of blue, white, gold, and purple, are wrapped around you, and you have a sense of something different taking place. Your eyes are filling with tears, and you are very grateful, thankful. You know that you are his daughter. Your heritage is royal, because of Christ. Great favor. Because the fathers love was so great, for you and all who believe. You remember what Christ did for you.
Take this moment, as you think of your savior, and his great love, for you, as you ponder on his suffering on the cross. You see his hands and feet pierced by the nails. Your sins, are on that cross.
Your heart breaks for you know, your sins were great. But there they are. As you see his crown of thorns on his head bleeding. You see his death on the cross, and sense the stillness of the earth. See him taken to the tomb, and buried.
The tomb is covered, but you know, in this private moment, he has taken leave from the tomb. See him going to the gates of hell, and taking your name off the book of death, register at the gates. Three days later, the son has rose, and he has been resurrected. You know and feel that life, because he is alive in your heart. You have a sense of hope, you feel secure.
You know that you know, nothing is impossible with God. You surrender your feelings, your way, knowing his way, is better. You want his will to be done in your life. Because you see with your heart, your spirit. This is not a matter of being intellectual, but totally spiritual.
You want to bless your Lord Jesus. Knowing you must give him a signal, of appreciation, perhaps some gift, you reach for your head, and offer him your crown, that has been placed on your head. With eyes still closed, lay it there at his feet, kneel at his throne, and do not move.
Say a prayer…….
A Prayer of Hope……
(private today)
I wrote this, for myself, to sort my feelings out, before I would say a prayer. To take the necessary steps, I suppose, to get my heart prepared for prayer. Quieting my spirit. Getting away from the distractions. For communicating with God, is a holy matter. And I want my conscious, and subconscious, to be aware of who God is in his holiness, and what he means to me. This is my way, I suppose, to get to that place, to gain access to his throne, before prayer, so I can go to my Father who is holy, and I can rest at his feet. Giving him my crown, but just seeking his presence. Seeking him, for who he is. Hoping, that he will take my cares, my needs, and replace it, with his supernatural ability. For I long to see his power, and goodness working in my life. For my prayer is for miracles in his name. So that he would get all glory and praise. I want to honor God, I want to bless him for as I pray, right, he has blessed me. It only seems right, to want to bless my God in return.
Prayer, is not a method, but complete communication, between you and God. Am I saying that, I have to do this all the time? No, I am not. What I am saying is that, there are times, when you long for a more deeper sense of prayer, a more spiritual expression, and this is what I do to prepare myself for that. Writing this, just brought it all to understanding.
May this bless you, but I encourage you, take the moments before you go to him in prayer, to establish who he is to you, and all that he may mean to your life. The goal in this, is to prepare our hearts in prayer. It is only my guideline, and it may inspire you, but may God give you your own, vision, to make it personal, between you and him. I call it:
PREPARATION…. THEN, SAY A PRAYER……

CALL UNTO ME~By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Dear friends,
Prepare your heart. Take a moment, and ponder on God. On the wonder of him. Let this scripture, soften your heart. Let it remind you, all you need to do is call on God….He will answer you. He knows your prayer need, and is able to answer it. Remember all things are possible with him. Thank him…..
CALL UNTO ME, AND I WILL ANSWER THEE, AND SHOW THEE GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS WHICH THOU KNOWEST NOT. JEREMIAH 33:3
Father, I just sense this is divine appointment, to “call” upon you. That there is an anointing here in your word. As, a reminder to seek you, to call on you. To keep communication open with you. To bring our cares, our hopes, our dreams to you. To repent, when needed. To cleanse ourselves, from the “gunk” in the world. Just to rest at your feet, as I seek your counsel. To be in your presence, to feel your love. Yes I call on you for that reason, in itself. Lord, how I long to see your power, and majesty work on my behalf, and that of my loved ones. Lord, I know it is in the key of seeking your word, renewing my mind with your truth, and being obedient, and yes being someone who reflects love. And it is love, because of your example. All efforts, seem to be nothing, if the love is not there. Lord, I do call on you even now, and I trust you. Lord, to the heart who has taken time to reflect on you, even here, show them great and mighty things. Things, that they in their wildest dreams, could not even imagine. I ask that for myself, as your heart servant. Who longs to be a reflection of Christ. I call on you my Lord, even in this Prayer of Hope. And I thank you, Father, Lord. In Jesus name, Amen

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME~By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
I Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strengtheneth Me. Phillipians 4:13
Father, I love how you speak to me, in the quiet place of my heart, and speak a word, to encourage me. To know with you all things are possible, and that I can do all things through you. I can be victorious. I have the ability by your word, to accomplish things, I could only dream about. Thank you my Lord, my God. For, in this thought, you spoke and gave me specific instructions, that I will obey. Showing me, I can do something so spectacular, and I can do it! That strengthens me.
Lord, I humbly ask, please, provide strength to do these things. As I pursue this. Make a way, open a door, or close another one. But let me see, through this process, you are changing me, renewing my mind, by your word, that I can do all things through you.
Lord, someone very special to me, needs to know this especially today. For, there are many trials, and many tests to overcome just in this day. But there can be a way, because Lord, God, my Christ, you are the way, the truth, and the life, and because of your ability. You give the ability, to do all things. Let my loved one see the victory in this as well.
Lord I only ask this, in your ability because you overcame ALL things for many of us, for only those who believe….For through your death, and resurrection, and the ability to take the keys from the devil himself, for each one of us, this can be a reminder, a testimony, that we can do great things as well. For we live, move and have our ability in you!!
And, Lord, I ask that, this would be a testimony, even here on this blog, that others would see this, and be strengthened in the inner person, as I am, by your word. That yes, Lord, by you we can do all things, and strengthened. In Jesus name. Amen
The Best of God (A Testimony) This is a testimony of how God answered my prayer in a sweet and beautiful way. I hope it blesses you.

DON’T DO IT TO IMPRESS ~ DO IT TO BLESS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. I Peter 4:10
There is a commercial I have seen and I am not sure what it is for, but the message comes through. For the service that is being displayed. Each segment, shows someone helping someone here and there, and someone observes it, and then in the next segment, you see them doing something wonderful, or out of the ordinary for someone else. It is called Love…and it is an expression of kindness, consideration, compassion, concern, thoughtfulness, to do something nice for someone else. Sadly, in our world, such beautiful attributes are not always expressed, nor or they encouraged. For we live in a world, where at times, such things are judged, and people wonder if you have an ulterior motive. For some do. So one cannot always trust the kindness of strangers.
Yet, we are all called to be an expression of Christ, and to show love to one another, hospitality, and kindness. Have you ever had a bad day, and someone just smiled at you, as if they sensed your hurt, your brokenness, and sadness? Like a baby, who is crying, and longing for attention, when that attention is received, the dear little baby cries more. As if to say, you seen me, and you know. Tears from a baby expresses that. And after some deliberation, some coaxing, some sweet soothing words have been spoken, or maybe a bottle of milk given, the baby laughs.
Dear ones, let us use our gifts, to be a reflection of Christ, and his love. Each one of us has a gift, and a strength, that in many situations, can bring someone joy. That Can bring comfort, and hope. Let us continue to serve one another, in our Fathers love. So much so, that we want to “pay it forward.” We never know, how we can touch a life, by some small act of kindness, that we share in the name of our Lord.
The truth of the matter is, we never know what someone is going through. Unless you have walked in someones shoes, how could we? So if someone, hands you a bad report, or they are short with you. Remember, maybe your act of kindness, can bring them something from the Lord. Use that gift to soften an angry word, or to just bring some peace.
Our world needs it, and more than anything, we need it. For it is better to give than to receive. When we give of our gifts, and callings, and we share, love, compassion, understanding. A soft word spoken, a smile. Even a dollar here and there for someone in need, we are being a reflection of Christ. But what happens is in the giving, we are blessed. We are growing, we are reaching a hurting world, and somehow, within us, something changes. For the essence of beauty to shine through. We are changed, more so for the better.
It is like a seed that is planted. You may not see it grow, but God will bring someone to water it, and even care for it. But by your kindness, by your expression to do something good, in your calling, you will reap a harvest from it. Don’t hold back. Sure you might even feel awkward, but reach out and touch someone with love. Maybe your a good cook, and you can cook for someone who is in need. Or you can call someone, or just run to the grocery store. That is a gift of hospitality. Share in consideration of someone who needs it. And not what you can get out of it.
Remember no small consideration, passes the eyes of God. And you may very well be entertaining an angel, when you do something wonderful, in sharing of your gifts. But don’t do it to impress….Do it to bless. To serve others, Faithfully, God will bless you. In many forms…..
Many blessings…..
Elena Ramirez
A Prayer of Hope…
Father, I just want to thank you for the kindness, and compassion you have shown me. Help me to think of others, when I need to. Help me to get my mind off of me, and what is in it for me. That stops me Lord, from sometimes being fruitful for your namesake. When someone else needs me to be an expression of my gifts and callings. Lord, help me and give me wisdom. To use my gifts for your will to be done in someones life. Give me discernment, and understanding, Let me do it in your strength, in your ability, so you will receive glory and honor in it. In Jesus name, Amen.
MAINTAIN JUSTICE AND DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Prayer of Hope Devotional
By intercessor and Christian author, Elena Ramirez. All Copy Rights Reserved, and protected by law.
This is what the Lord says: Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Isaiah 56:5
My Prayer of Hope…..
Father, my Lord, how I long to do that which is right and just in your sight. Forgive me, when I take matters into my own hands, and do not listen correctly for instruction. Oh Lord, help me. In this pace of things. Father, how I long for your righteousness to be revealed in me, and in others, by that what I do. But I see and oh so sadly, I see when I am not being totally led by you, and I do things my way. I so thank you for your mercy, and kindness, that you extend to us. By correcting me, I am spared. In Jesus name, be glorified, and magnified. Help me to always to do that which is right in your sight. As your servant. Let this be revealed. Amen
The Best of God (A Testimony) This is a testimony of how God answered my prayer in a sweet and beautiful way. I hope it blesses you.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A WAY TO STUDY THE BIBLE? PASTOR WAYNE CORDEIRO KNOWS HOW. (REVISED)
Wayne Cordeiro, is the Pastor of New Hope Christian Fellowship church, in Honolulu Hawaii. He is also an author, of many books, his recent book is entitled: The Divine Mentor. I have not read it yet, but hope to acquire it.
I had never really ever heard of Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, before, but it does not surprise me, that God makes a way.
I heard of him through an e-mail friend, who also is a Christian writer. Wes Suzawa.
http://wessuzawa.wordpress.com. (sorry it won’t link copy and paste to your browser.)
Well brother, Wes, shared with me, that his pastor was coming to Colorado. To visit, Cherry Hills Christian church. I was unable to attend, the service, but I did take some time, and listened to this Pastors sermon. Here from home, on my computer.
And I am so glad I did. Because I learned something new….
I am writing about this gentleman, and man of God, because it is not every day, you hear or meet someone who inspires you. And he inspired me. The reason, he inspires me, is because for years, I have been trying to figure out a way, to study and read my Bible. I have heard of many plans, but they just did not inspire me, enough, to keep at it. I don’t know about you, but you want to learn Gods word, but you may not have that much time, or you get bored, and just not able to apply yourself. I have read many books in the Bible, but then I get burned out, and don’t go to the other books of the Bible.
Well this man of God, has a method, that I want to share with you, and with others. He calls it “Divine Mentors.” That I believe, is truly God inspired, and to apply it, it just takes some discipline to do it, and a desire to know Gods word. It requires you make the time. It takes me, about 15 minutes, to a half an hour. To do this method. Basically I just get the required reading, (see Links below) document the chapters needed. I study them, I read them, ponder on them, highlight them, and journal, my findings, and pray. It is very easy.
To truly, seek God, to know him. To know his word. I find, first thing in the morning, I need to do it. As my first fruits to God, being with him etc. But you pray, and you ask God, for the time that is right for you. But I have to say, I have already been applying this method, for over a week now, and I am so inspired, I know, that I will apply this method from now on. To read my Bible, and so my Bible can study me. A thought and a quote from Pastor Wayne Cordeiro. Meaning, Gods word, so lightens the way, that we cannot help to see it studying us, to see, if we are doing that which is right in the sight of God.
Pastor Cordeiro has it down so fine, that when he speaks, and he speaks about the 66 books of the Bible, and all the characters that God used to make examples in this word, of God. They are now Pastor Cordeiro’s friends. They are “Divine Mentors.” In other words, by his system of studying the Bible, he has been able in so many situations, to implement, and use their situations to help him in life. Because they come to life to him. Which makes sense. Because the Bible is the only book, that God has said, it has life. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the diving asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And the only book he ordained to speak truth from. An example, I will use in this illustration, that made me laugh, and yet I saw truth in it, was Joseph from the Bible.
Joseph, became Pastor Cordeiro’s friend. Well God bless this pastor, because one day, he was in a situation, where an adulterous woman, was tempting him. Innocent, he did not see it at first, but then as the conversation continued he could see, he was being tempted. and he knew what was happening. That old devil was trying to make him fall. But out of the corner of his eye, Pastor Cordeiro saw Joseph, running away through the halls, like in the Bible, and running from the adulterous woman, that was tempting him. And Joseph said, “follow me”….and he got up and did the same thing, he ran away from her. Now I cannot even begin to express it, in the wonderful animated way that he did. Because it was hilarious. But oh so true. But you can hear it in the link below.
Anyway, if we could only apply ourselves to do the things God has brought, as examples. Think of David, and how he defeated his enemies. The giants. Think of Esther, and how God used her to bless his people. I could go on and on….
But I need to share with you, the method. Of “Divine Mentors.” To impart wisdom. And what really impressed me. Mr. Cordeiro’s method of studying the Bible, that he offers as a simple but practical way to learn Gods word;
Using the acronym SOAP.
Scripture, Observation, Application. Prayer.
As I listened to him, I could sense and see that Pastor Cordeiro’s heart, is so wise, through his studying of the Bible. And I am someone, who has learned so much myself, from reading Gods word. But I am definitely going to implent his method into my studying of Gods word. I want to grow, I want to be wiser. I want to please God, so very, very much. It brought me structure, and a foundation, to apply myself. Where I have been missing it for so long. God’s word is so needed. In all of our lives. And we get so busy, that we put it off.
But really, if we do not feed ourselves Gods word, we are starving spiritually. We are doing ourselves a disservice. I could go on and on, about what this gentleman, brought in his sharing. For, it was all so inspiring. But God will do that, he will use people like my brother in Christ, Wes, or Mr. Cordeiro, or even the many examples in the Bible, “The Divine Mentors” to get us to a place where we can grow, learn, and be the best we can be, because God wants to teach us. Because God loves us…
But we have to try.… Are you willing to try something new? To get you to that place God wants you to be? Personally, I think pastors, and churches, need to implement this. And if you are reading this, I highly recommend you do so. And contact Mr. Cordeiro from the links below.
Dear friends, as he reflected, and spoke, I thought, by the examples he shared, I would rather choose to learn the lesson first by Gods word, then to learn from the consequences. I have reaped enough in my lifetime, from my mistakes, that I want to do it right!!
From now, on when I study the Bible, I will study it from this perspective. With this my Prayer of Hope….
“Search me oh God, and know my heart.” Lord, I let your word study me….to change me, to please you. Because I love you Lord……
I am placing these links here for you to listen to.
Now I advise you that this particular link is over thirty minutes. So if you listen, make sure you are able to hear it through, without distractions.
And I highly recommend, you take notes.
But you will be glad you did, it will make you laugh, it will make you think, it will inspire you…..
And then here I offer his link where you can begin to study the Bible with his group. His reading plan. I just pray, by sharing this, it will help you in your walk with the Lord, that it will also help bring some structure to your learning Gods word.
I Thank God that he used Mr. Cordeiro to bring this method, because believe me, I am going to implement it in my daily life. To know Gods word more! To gain true wisdom. I am so grateful, that I met my friend in Christ, brother Wes. So, I could hear about Pastor Wayne Cordeiro. I feel like it was by divine appointment. But, I also want to be friends with God, I want to be mentored by the master, and the people he brings in my life, through his word and in this lifetime…..By God’s divine appointment.
This is divine appointment for you as well as you read this. Are you going to let this pass you by? Or are you going to seek wisdom from this method? Just know….God loves you. He wants you to grow.
And as I close I am thankful and in awe of God, for orchestrating this, and bringing me, to the new friends and this wonderful method, he has brought me from Hawaii. Just makes sense, to learn a way to know God, and it comes from paradise……
Blessings, Mahalo, and Aloha
