When we think of Peace, we think of tranquility, the ocean, a lake, pasture land, a nice breeze...just plain quietness. No hectic life. Something we wish we all had all the time.
Well, when I think of Peace, I remember the Prince of Peace, Jehovah Shalom, Jesus Christ. Peace is so powerful that satan trembles when it's presented. It's a powerful tool; who wouldve thought.
Well, although I lived how God wanted me to and I did all the do's and dont's. There was one thing that I for sure knew I didnt have; I thought I had it until someone very special to my heart prayed for Peace in my life. Within a few days Peace gradually was taking over my body, my mind, my actions, my heart, my spirit, my soul.
This is what God wants for us, to have His Peace. Psalm 23 says "He makes me lie beside still waters". Makes me lie? To me he has to push you to have Peace, becuz it's something that doesnt come easily to many. Some have that gift, I know i didnt.
I want to tell you today, dont underestimate Peace, Peace is one of God's strong characters. Something the devil doesnt want you to have, that's how strong it is. When you pray, pray for God's Peace upon your life, for your family, your work place, on someone you know. Pray for Peace. It kills the flesh so you can live closer to God in the spirit. There are so many ways to get closer to God, to please God, to know him deep inside you, to hear his voice...and Peace is just one of the many lovely characters of Jesus Christ!
Thank you Lord for your Peace on this day and always, and I pray that your Peace will be with my friends, family, co workers and the many that so need it. Thank you Lord for bringing into my life the One Special Person that cared enough to Pray for Peace over my life, not just "Peace", but YOur Peace. In Jesus Name! Amen

Love is My Heavenly Father..
Holding my hand through the fires
Holding out His hand unto mine
Giving me a kiss on my forehead
Telling me it's all going to be okay
Listening to my cries,
Listening to my laughs
LIstening to my songs...
Blessing me in all I do & all He calls me to do.
Giving me my Hearts Desires...
Being pleased with me & Telling me " all is well done!"
God bless...

The definition of Love is...
Love: A deep affection, devotion; To have deep affection for someone or something.
Galatian 5:22 " But the fruit of the spirit is Love, JOy, & Peace...Long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith."
God is Love,
Jesus is Love,
so we too must have Love!
Love is how God moves, How he expresses himself to us, How he forgave us for our sins through His Jesus Christ.
Have no love? Ask for forgiveness, repentance, and ask God to fill you with His Love.
Thank you Lord for your amazing Love, for loving me more &more each day!
Thank you Lord loving us through the fire.
Thank you for your warm embrace!
Love is
Loving in the spirit
Loving in His HOliness
Loving in His Presence
Loving in His
Loving in His Righteousness
Loving in His Word
Loving His very Essence
Loving His Holy Name
Loving who He is

God called us to be His Sons & Daughters...
To be Just like Him.
I am His , For I have inherited His Kingdom through Christ Jesus.
I inherited His character, His mind, His Heart, His Holyspirit, His blood in mine.
I am just like my Daddy. I know my Father...
I know who I am in Him. For He says "Stand upright My , For I have called you.... "My ".
When you appreciate and learn all that He is. When you let go of things of this world, When you surrender your life to Jesus, When you care enough to say thank you...then you are giving your life to Him, so He can work in you. And I tell you there is nothing , nothing, like having our Heavenly Father as our True DAddy! Amen!

Defeating satan the ultimate deceiver & liar

Defeating Satan The Ultimate Deciever & Liar (Thanx Elaine)
Body: DEFEATING YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL
Body: From Alicia
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
Every Christian has an enemy. Although unseen by the natural eye, this adversary is not imaginary nor a mythological character. Satan, the Devil, is a real person... a spirit being, with intelligence, tangible characteristics, and whose incessant goal and ambition is to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10).
Around the clock the enemy is on the prowl, seeking to cause mayhem and destruction to all believers and the work of Jesus Christ throughout the world. With military-like strategy and ruthless hostility, the devil aggressively searches for weakness in our faith and spiritual life, hoping to devour us with deception, temptation, or oppression. He is the personification of all that is evil and is the author of every despicable work.
Regardless of whether you realize it, Satan has targeted you as a victim. He knows your name and address, your strengths and weaknesses. Somewhere in the shadows, he and his forces lurk, waiting, planing for the moment they will strike when you’re caught off-guard. He desperately hopes that you will, as many Christians, remain ignorant of his reality so that you’ll blame his assaults on somebody or something else.
His method of operation is almost always “undercover.” Subtly, he manipulates hindering circumstances and inspires evil thoughts or temptations, disguising his activities behind the shroud of people or things. He will always seek to divert attention and blame for his actions upon others. But make no mistake, he is the real enemy, not your husband, wife, employer, government or Christian brethren!“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).
Satan has no Rightful Authority over Believers
The good news is that, although the Devil is described “like” a “roaring lion,” in reality he has no actual authority over believers. He is not really a lion, but roars “like” a lion would to bluff his victims into fear and intimidation. Satan is a liar and deceiver and uses deception as his weapon to gain advantage over those who are ignorant of the limitations of his power.
When Jesus gave his life on the cross as the sacrifice for the sins of the world, He also redeemed us from Satan’s power and dominion over us. “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” (Col. 2:15). “...For this purpose the of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3: . Praise God! Satan is already a defeated enemy! His legal authority was neutralized by the finished work of Christ on the cross.
Every Believer has Authority over Satan
So if Satan is already defeated, why then is he still able to cause trouble? Because, even though Christ broke Satan’s legal power, the Lord has left it up to us to “enforce” the Devil’s defeated condition. It's our responsibility to use the authority that Christ has given us to put Satan in his place.
As a believer, you need not fear Satan, but realize and exercise the authority which God has given you over the Devil. Every person whose name has been recorded in the “Lamb’s Book of Life” (all those who are saved) have been given authority over the power of the Devil. “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
You have the right to use the authority of the name of Jesus to repel and drive Satan out of your territory and to break his grip over spiritual strongholds (2 Cor. 10:4). When you recognize Satan’s activity and covert operations, take authority over him in the name of Jesus! Just as Jesus and the early apostles did, command Satan to leave (Mark 16:17).
The Devil hates the name of Jesus and detests an atmosphere of praise and worship which exalts the name of Jesus. Christ said, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20). Be assured, the presence of Christ will expel the presence of Satan. Lifting up Jesus in praise will send the Devil running!
Slam the Door on the Devil
The name of Jesus will drive Satan away. But it would be futile to order Satan’s departure if we leave the door wide open for him to flourish. The Bible tells us to not “give place” for the Devil (Eph. 4:27). That is, provide no area of your life where Satan can be comfortable or establish strongholds.
The enemy can always be found working in those who entertain sin, disobedience, rebellion or a self-willed nature. Unforgiveness toward others is another area which Satan flourishes (2 Cor. 2:11). Furthermore, any area of your life which is not submitted to God is considered open territory to the Devil, and he has the right to bring his expanding influence to those areas.
This is why the scripture says, “...submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4 ). The only way to actually resist Satan is to submit yourself fully to God. This was what Jesus was referring to when He said, “...the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me” (John 14:30). Jesus had submitted himself to God, and although the Devil would try Him, there was nothing for the Devil to use to gain an advantage.
Rejoice of God! God is in you, and YOU have been given power over the Devil! By submitting to God, and exercising your authority in the name of Jesus, you are more powerful than the enemy. “...He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

My Goal in life is to truly find out who I truly am in Christ; Well, now that I know I am not of this world, then what is so marvelous about this new profound world that I inherited through Jesus Christ. Every day more and more I come closer to Jesus; It isnt just about works, or just faith,or just believing, it's about having a true relationship with our FAther, our daddy...the only one that cares so much for us, He gave His only begotten ...Jesus Christ.
Yes, I read His Word; I stand in HIs Word; I praise, worship, pray, operate in the spirit fully, be as righteous and holy as I can be. Well, why do I do this? Is it because I dont have much of a life? No actually Jesus is my life. I have a profound love that is continously growing everyday and He just amazes me. How precious is Our Lord...i fall more and more in love with him everyday. He motivates me to know him more deeper.
Well, today as I worshipped my Lord in Holiness, which pleases him, as He always does, He lifts my spirit up to him in Heaven and there I can dance for him and worship him. He holds me, and reasurres me and loves me.
Well, today was different, I saw him on this big throne, glory pouring out of him, in his white gown. I couldnt see his face though, but I did see him and He reached his arm out and I stretched for His arm...and He gave me a kiss on my forehead...
Then I Just continued to dance around and around.
I was my happiest being in his presence...
When we walk and seek him deeper and deeper, He is just and faithful to show himself to us, to whisper mysteries in our ears, to use us for the impossible. When we please God and put him above all, His love just brings us higher and higher. I truly believe that.
When I worship my Lord in Holiness it brings me closer , transparent to him.
When I worshipped before regularly , His presence was near but it wasnt transparent.
My relationship with God is so special to me that if I see a sin creeping in, or something that will keep us apart, the Holyspirit shows me ,and I cast it out or fast it out.
I walk in my inheritance and so should you, it has been given freely with salvation, so take advantage of these heavenly gifts we received. Know your daddy and know who you are in him!
God bless...

The reason I breathe,The reason I live....
Is because of you Jesus Christ....
For Lord I would never want to look back or choose any other life than this, For you loved me when I was neglected, you showed me you cared when you wiped away my tears, you held me in your arms when I needed you most, you rescued me when I was drowning, you forgave me...
I live you & I breathe you, because you loved me!
Why would I want to be conformed to this world? What does this world offer that is greater than thee? NOthing! It offers me nothing but hurt and pain, trying to tare me apart, destroy me. I want nothing of this world, for I belong with you. My heart is with you...
For I am here for a moment, So I take this time to know you and to know who I am in you. What my purpose is & What my calling is to be....
For we have choices, and I chose to be with you!
YOu loved me first and now I love you...

Jesus is my everything...
He's my sunshine in the morning, My moon at night
He's the air I breathe, the water I thirst for
He's my light in darkness..
He's my eyes when i cant see...
He's my warm embrace...
When I am needing love, I seek him.
When I wake up I praise his holy name..
When I sleep I praise his holy name
When trials come I worship him..
When I am weak, He is my strength
When I am lonely He gives me love
When I am hurt, He gives me comfort
When I am sick, He heals me and restores me.
For where would I be without My Jesus? Where would you be without OUr Jesus? For a grateful heart I do own, For a Father in Heaven loved me so much, He gave his only begotten to died on that Cross for my sins and was risen so that we may have eternal life with him! How awesome is that!
Be grateful,for the little things,Be grateful for all your blessings,Be thankful that someone loved you enough to shed his blood for you!
God bless you!
