"When People do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obey the law is happy." ~PROVERBS 29:18
"To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them. Young people who obey the law are wise; those who seek out worthless companions bring shame to their parents. The prayers of a person who ingnores the law are despised."… Continue

The pure in heart see all things full of God.
-- Henri Nouwen
Love is blind, we like to say, but no; Love is not blind. The ego is blind. All it can see is itself. But Love is not blind. Love is pure vision! God, seeing through us! The more we allow God to see through us, the more we will notice a great healing taking place in our world.

A mist the storm there I stood in the calm, the calm and the peace that passes all understanding surrounding me, I now can see the salvation of the Lord.....and as I draw closer to him, he leads me to stand on the Rock, for all around me is sinking sand, he leadest me as I take his hand, he covers me with his wisdom and crown me with the understanding; He maketh my enemies to scatter in his Holy Presence, He… Continue

MyHotComments Last night I had a dream that I came across these word "PRAY when there is nothing else" I read it and woke up with this in mind. I wish to urge you to incorporate prayers into your everyday life. Quotes:
"Before church, we talk to God; during churdh, God talks to us, after church, we talk to our neighbors."
I became enlightened by the beauty that arose from the ashes,
the splendor filled the room with brilliance.
Come with me and share the dream of a new horizon
with bubbling brooks and fountains filled with
living water.
My spirit rejoice and sings to the Lord almighty
who now sits at the right hand of the father
in Glory, as the angels sing to the…Continue

What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed… Continue

THERE IS NO REASON TO FEAR, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS US TO NOT FEAR NO MAN AND WE ARE TO STAND TOGETHER AND SEE THE LORD'S HANDS AT WORK IN OUR LIVES. IF YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THOSE CHRISTIANS THAT SEE THEIR WAY OUT OF THE SITUATION, KNOW THAT THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT THE LORDS. AS THE LORD PERMITS FOR US TO LEARN AND BELIEVE IN HIM, KNOW THAT THE ENEMY IS STANDING AT THE DOOR WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOU THINK OTHERWISE.
