Sugar and Flour

People I love dearly, including myself, 🥰 I have heard say, ‘I just can’t resist it; if it’s in front of me, I am going to eat it or drink it.’  We must repent of this.  how-to-store-flour-and-sugar-long-term-1697700912-1848960292

As Christians, we say that we have the Spirit of Almighty GOD living within us. The same Spirit of GOD who is so powerful that He raised JESUS from the dead.

Graveyard dead, y’all.

I mean His heart was not beating, respiration had ceased, there was no oxygen in His lungs, and His body was in full repose for THREE DAYS! This was the state of JESUS our Savior and Father GOD raised His body from complete deadness to Living, Breathing again!

And we as Christians say we cannot resist a bag of potato chips or one more piece of cake? How can we deny Him like this?! How can we do this in the sight of so great a cloud of witnesses? Hebrews 12:1-3.  I can only think it is ignorance at best and at worst . . . something else. 

Please join me in repentance! Please see with me that for us to consistently place empty, excessive, non-nutritious calories, and even harmful substances into our bodies denies the power of GOD that we say we have living within us. Yes, I am mindful that Scripture speaks of occasional feasting . . . it also teaches frequent fasting. How can GOD deliver, rescue, and redeem us from hell and damnation and be so weak He cannot give us victory over a second plate of boneless chicken wings? Don’t you see with me that we must NOW, today begin to live in victory? If we do not, what evidence do we have to offer people around us who do not know JESUS?

Let me say it this way: We must love The LORD our GOD more than we love sugar and flour.

I read this to my beloved and he replied that it’s not just food and drink, this could be applied to anything in our lives. I wonder if he meant football and golf?

23 Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,24 because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3 Source

For some odd reason, I just wanted a place to post this and this screen won – which means you get to see it. 🤓 Ready?img_4029

Does the first sentence give you food for thought? Does the second hit with a question mark or with amen, yes, LORD?

I’m just curious, looking for like-minded people. 🤓

Questions? Comments?

Love GOD, love people – love them enough to introduce them to JESUS.

I expected my relief to last longer than 30 minutes! But here I am, cautious and concerned and warned: don’t celebrate too long, don’t celebrate with arrogance. Be kind. Be generous. And get to work LIVING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Proverbs 14:34 King James Version  34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

We have a reprieve. Reprieves are for advancing, not retreating, and not squandering. What do we have a reprieve from?  That’s a good question. How do you see it? HOW DOES GOD SEE IT? ASK HIM AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. 

Are you wondering how to ask?

My suggestion is to start with your Bible.  Read it. Read it like it is the BEST book you have ever picked up.  Because it is! Read until it becomes alive to you, then do what it says, praying every page of the way. 

I trust that we have a reprieve from the advancement of certain evils. But there are plenty of demons to fight  – armor up! Ephesians 6:11-24 Don’t spend this reprieve playing!  That’s the message. Perhaps we can hear The LORD saying to us: he who has an ear, let him hear. (That he is he or she, you understand.)

Genesis (KJV) 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Mark 12: 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  Link

This is how we use this reprieve. Study JESUS. The JESUS revealed in Scripture. Read Him. Watch Him. Follow Him. Know Him and be known by Him. (Matthew 7:21-23) In this way, we will not waste this reprieve. Biblically obedient brothers and sisters, I need your prayers! By no stretch of the imagination have I arrived at full obedience but by His Grace, I am moving forward!

Election Day 2024

Leave a comment

And when we are made privy to the outcome, then what? 

Christians, if we get what we say we want, what are we going to do? 

Are we going to breathe a sigh of relief and go back to our normal habits? Will we still pray as much? Will we proclaim the Gospel of JESUS The CHRIST? Were we proclaiming the Gospel these last four years or were we screaming about temporary discomforts and inconveniences?  Were we all bent out of shape for four years now over the mockery of truth and justice longstanding here? Did we submit ourselves to GOD for Him to shape us to Truth and Justice according to The Scriptures?

What will we do when this election day is over? 

What is GOD interested in with this election? The election outcome? 
He has already decided.
He knows. Who did He choose?
And why?
Did He hear the cry of the people for a king? He did when Israel demanded a king. He gave them what they demanded – Saul! It didn’t go well for them with Saul. 

What/who is America asking for?
HE heard us long before today. The decision was made all these years by what has been done in the every day lives of We The People. 

Again I ask, is America asking for Truth and Justice according to The Scriptures or is America demanding laws to kill their children with sexual perversion and mutilation outside the womb and abortion inside the womb? Is America screaming for relief from responsibilities and accountability for their personal decisions and actions? Is America warring for “freedom” to sin with no consequences?  

An awakening of one kind or the other is on the horizon. 

This I know. GOD is faithful and HE is worthy of our trust – HE is longsuffering and patient BUT there is an end to His longsuffering with the sins of We The People. 

The wait will soon be over — then what?
