THE MUSIC LEFT MY SOUL ,THAT DAY Jun 6, 2008 2:21 pm
Mood: beautiful, 164 Views
continuing my testimony

The music left my soul, that day.

with my face like stone, I had made a vow before GOD. I needed to raise a family.

I was singing in a christian band at the time. I had just written a song. PLEASE LET THIS CUP PASS, the day before, the attack.
It was Easter time!!!!! The music left my soul for 11 years.

I never sang again, tell I was 36 years old. Were I was honored by GOD, to sing with a praise and worship team in Hawaii, for one year. There in a church of 2000 people. I began to heal.

The beautiful rain drops of love and peace and hope and happiness flooded my soul. I saw a rainbow. I knew in the depths of my soul GOD had promised, GOD had fullfiled every word of scripture I had ever read and prayed. And God smiled because I understood.

I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU.
YOUR IN THE PALM OF MY HAND.
I LOVE YOU WITH AN EVERYLASTIN LOVE.
Scripure evaded my soul. I was going to make it. At last Joy filled my heart.

5 years later the divorce was final, stunned.I Picked up my spinning life, and walked out of church. Angry, bitter, and comsumed with unforgiveness. I found the world. Patting me on the back, I found a new family.They accepted me. they did not judge me, I was sadly, surprised. These people aren't anything like what I was taught in church. They were kind, supportive, and reassuring. I quietly listened as they spoke of christians. Tears came to my eyes.

MY TESTIMONY Jun 6, 2008 12:20 pm
Mood: beautiful, 207 Views
Thank you Alan and Terri for this idea!!!!!

At age 14 I walked down the isle of a little white church and gave my heart to GOD. Actually, I remember being picked up and floating to the front of church. I think angels were carrying me.
lol!!!!!!!!!and prayed the sinners pray. Of course that changed my life forever.

I could not get enough of GOD. Raised in a christian home. Church was mandatory, twice on sunday, and wednesday night prayer meeting.I went to a private christian school, for 12 years.

Three weeks out of high school a mirror 18 tipping 19 [ no, I was just nineteen ] I was married!!!!
Three children, and 23 years later I was divorced. Broken, devasted beyond belief. I, like some of us, could not believe what just happened to my life. Had I not given my heart to GOD? Was I not serving him? 42 years, I walked and talked with, you, GOD......

You see 5 years into my young marriage an attacker came to our home, turns out my husband and I knew this man very well. It was my husband boss!!!!!!!!!! TERRIFIED, my husband, said to me don't you say a word to anyone. Being submissive as I was taught, I bowed my head. Rage and anger began to build in me. The attacker was an elder
in our church.

A new home, a new marriage, a new car and three children, [5 years, 3 years, and 3 months old.] were starring us in the face.
Destroyed, devasted and terrified. I prayed ........
Who could I tell, no-one, who could I go to, no-one. For everyone knew every one. A blessing in a small town. And I know my GOD wepted.

The mind is a beautiful thing. it does what you tell it to, I got up off my knees and said I've got a job to do. Literally burying my feeling alive, I went forward. I carried this silently in my soul, before GOD. and I know my GOD wepted, again.

The music left my soul, that day.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO CALL FORTH Jun 3, 2008 10:04 pm
Mood: jubilant, 116 Views
God who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exsist as though they did.

Romans 4:17

What do we need to call forth:
Hope,Life,
Love,Salvation,
Faith,Retoration,
Peace, Confidence,Joy,

Blessed is the man who puts his trust in the lord.

Abraham hoped and believed he did not waver at the promise of GOD through unbelief but was strengthened in faith giving glory to GOD.

We also glory in the tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance and perserverance, character and character hope, now hope does not disappoint.

AND SO, AFTER HE HAD PATIENTLY ENDURED, HE OBTAINED THE PROMISE.

For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute
thus GOD determining to show more abundadantly of his councel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things in which, It is impossible for GOD to lie,
We might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge, to lay hold of the hope set before us.
This is the hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil.
Where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become high priest forever according to the order of melchizedek.

Because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Who also has sealed us and given us the spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

Now the lord is the spirit, and where the spirit of the lord is: there is liberty. Praise GOD!!!!

Blessed be the name of the Lord

THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS Jun 3, 2008 9:20 pm

You are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in the darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.

You, therefore , who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

You who say, "Do not commit adultry," do you commit adultry? You who abhor idols," do you rob temples?

You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?

As it is written:

There none righteous, no not one
There is none who understands,
There is none who seek after God.
They have all turned aside
They togather become unprofitable,
There is none who does good, no not one

Their throat is an open tomb;with their tongues they have practicd deceit, the poison of asps is under their lips;whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.Their swift to shed blood; desrtuction and misery are in their ways,
and the way of peace they have not known."

There is no fear of God before their eyes

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven and whos sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the lord shall not impute sin

For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of GOD not of works, lest anyone should boast.

WITHOUT EXCUSE Jun 3, 2008 8:40 pm

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse.

For when gentiles who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these,although not having the law, are a law to themselves.who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness and between themselves their thoughts accusing or excusing them in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to the gospel.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness because what may be known of God is manifest in them for God has shown it to them.

I am without excuse Romans 1,2,3

DON'T SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST May 25, 2008 12:18 pm
Mood: okay, 184 Views
You do not need to settle for second best.

Win the prize.

Go for the Gold.

You do not need to settle for second best in any of your relationships.

You claim the right as a child of our KING
to have
high expectations in all your relationships.

WITH GOD/FAMILY/AND FELLOWS

GOD will manifest himself

Totally caught off guard, some elderly man ran up to me at church and gave me this word from the Lord

IS IT YOU May 24, 2008 11:30 am

I feel the pain again today, 3 days in a row,

where is it coming from!

Have I hurt you lord. Is it you I feel.

Have I grieved you.

Have I offened you.

I feel someone's heart-ache and it is crying.

Your heart is sooooooooooo hurt. So sad.


IS IT YOU?

Isaiah 7:11-14a SAYS:

"ASK A SIGN FOR YOURSELF FROM THE LORD YOUR GOD;
ASK IT EITHER IN THE DEPTH OR IN THE HEIGHT ABOVE."

BUT AHAZ SAID "I WILL NOT ASK NOR WILL I TEST THE LORD!"
Then he said' is it a small thing for you to weary men but will you weary GOD also?

THEREFORE THE LORD HIMSELF WILL GIVE YOU A SIGN.

I BEGAN TO DANCE May 24, 2008 10:27 am

Praise was one of the primary tools that GOD had eguipped me with very young. I could be questioning a million things about my life, but I never had to question, whether I was in the right place when I was giving GOD praise.

"Sing Joanie, at the top of your voice, sing to me." The lord would say. That was usually while vacuuming. I was caught one day, by my three kids, with these stupid grin's on there faces, looking at me, like I lost my mind. Vacuuming was quickly replaced to, durning the day while they were at school.

The psalmist David wrote "Bless the Lord ,O my Soul" he commands his own soul to come into order and give GOD glory. It's important that I [we]learn how to bring MY [our] souls, and even our bodies into submission to the purposes of GOD


COUNT IT ALL JOY

Our praises actually create a platform in our circumstances for the King to sit on his throne and release the reality of his kingdom.

DON'T NEED ANYTHING May 24, 2008 8:23 am
Mood: satisfied, 109 Views
There is nothing that I want to do
More than to come here to worship You
I can't think of a better place
Surrounded by love, delivered by grace

CHORUS

And I want to worship you here oh LORD
To lift up my hands and be loved by you more
I want to worship you here oh LORD
Cause I don't need anything

I can't think of a thing I need
Apart from the heart that your sacrifice freed
There is nothing I ask, No name that I call
Than the name of the one who gave me it all

I lack nothing
I lack nothing when I have you

WRITTEN AND MUSIC BY GREG GRAHAM, ABOVE THE NOISE
I Thessalonians 4:11,12

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL May 23, 2008 10:57 pm

Praise the lord ,O my soul,
all my inmost being,
Praise his holy name.
Praise the lord, O my soul
and forget not all his benefits
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your deseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satifies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
