Lust

Lust is an enemy running rampant in the land.
It is secretly killing millions-it's getting out of hand.

The lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes are the twin sisters of evil.
Laying eggs-destroying souls like cotton is done by boll weevils.

Dirty magazines, Cable TV and the Internet are their major tools.
Leading men and women to destruction like a carrot leads a mule.

These lusts sins are done in secret so most go undetected.
Demons feeding on men souls because their salvation is being neglected.

"Come out from among them" is what God's Word says to do.
Ignorance of God's Word destroys souls- people don't have a clue.

Many Christians are deceived to think that they will receive a Heavenly Crown.
When Holiness, Godliness and Righteousness are nowhere to be found.

God is saying to you "I have eyes- I can see"
You choosing to love this evil world instead of me.

God's servants are saying, Repent Now! Before it's too late.
Pick-up your cross and follow Jesus for your soul's sake.

Just like Noah's time, God's warnings are seldom heard.
People instead are listening to Satan being trapped and devoured like a bird.

Preachers! Preachers! You need to Preach!
There is no time for a prosperity speech.

Christians keep your affections on things above.
This world will pass away and the Lust thereof.

Unveiling Beauty

You make all things beautiful- just in time

He who has started a good work in you, will bring it to completion till the day of Jesus Christ

-Philippians

The Master Decorator

How I wish I could create an environment that invited people to enter, relax, visit and unwind, but I struggle with keeping the living room presentable enough.

But just because I don't have a decorator's touch in my home doesn't mean I'm not touched by the Master Decorator. He's willing to decorate my soul if I just give Him access to it. Am I willing for Him to dig through the attic of my life, looking for antique treasures I had tucked away and buried? What about those basement corners in my life? Just because I think something is junk and have it hidden in my basement, doesn't mean He doesn't want to pull it out, touch it up, and add it to my living room, that 'public' part of my life.

God, the Master Decorator, is able to pull all the parts and pieces of my life together, even the seemingly ugly parts, and create a place of comfort, a haven from life's storms. But I need to give Him access to my hiding places. Am I willing to have Him pull out the 'uglies' hidden in my life and create beauty from those? Am I willing to invite people in to see how He has decorated my soul? It means exposure. It means allowing them to see the uglies. But those uglies, once touched by the Master's hand, are not ugly any more, they're worked into the whole and they create a picture and a place of His beauty. If I allow Him access and invite Him to decorate my soul.

Please, Lord, be the Master Decorator in my life and soul. I give You the keys to my attic, basement, closets, shed, and garage--every hiding place in my life. Take these parts, even the ugly ones, and touch them and arrange them to create a place of beauty in me--a place of refreshment and peace. Be the Master Decorator in me.

Sisterhood Of Tomorrow

I wonder what would it be like to have the women closest to you understand that you too are just a mere human and are incapable of perfection? How you really do have the best of intentions but sometimes that hand basket from hell comes to take it all away. What if they understood that those things that appear to be bad parenting have a broken heart behind them that may just need a friend? Maybe there is an interesting story there of why things went the way they did.

A world where these sisters did not have one arm wrapped around you in a friendly hug with a knife in the other. A smile and friendly word to you, then biting, angry words at your back.
A place where life was so simple that the person you saw in front of you, was the person you saw in front of you.

I long for the sisterhood of the days of old, i wonder how it used to be?
I think often of what that would be like. To have the women in your life around you supporting you and befriending you. And how you would do the same for them, there would be love and beauty, encouragement and extravagance, love demonstrated to the max (the sisterhood way) there would be a reflection of his glory, I bet there would be instances of 'God reflections' where people would just go like "WOW"

That's the sisterhood i am talking about, lets make an effort and support, love, care, empower, encourage, strengthen the women in our lives. Lets be there for them to love them, to be with them through brokenness, lets love like how God called us to. Lets be examples to other women, in faith and in love, not a friendly smile and a sweet word, then angry words at their backs, but being the women of God. I believe there is a huge difference in saying it and doing it, It all starts with a little something and prayer to perfection. Lets be the women of tomorrow, the chosen ones!

Role Models

There are instances in our life when god places us in certain situations to learn from them.
May it be the hard times, our screw ups -most of the time, but most importantly from people.
The Bible states that a smart person learns from his mistakes but a wise person learns from others mistakes.

God has place people in our lives whom we can learn from, his people who have fought through and lived life God's way. Have we ever questioned ourselves why do we run into stations where everything just goes berserk?..(learning time)
When we meet with people who have gone through life like living testimonies, they inspire us, help us look through our incapabilities and work to perfection.
Those are the times that god uses to mold us, teach us and build us up.

He brings people in our lives from whose mistakes we can learn, may it be the tiniest one or the humongous ones, weather it be in cases like lying, infidelity, irrespective nature and it goes on,
its more like god brings peoples screw ups in front of us to teach us from them.

Not do what they have done, but to be wise and not repeat them, instead learn from them.
he wants us to clarify our vivid futures and place them into his tender hands
He wants us to live like testimonies, like examples, like history makers, like people whose behavior is emulated by others.
He calls us to be his Role Models
