The Walking Dead

I think I was in a room once as The Walking Dead was airing on a TV screen.
I saw something — it has stayed with me. .jpeg 1 b

Hollywood.
The things they come up with!
The Walking Dead.
I think Hollywood knows not that the walking dead is just what the world’s people are – walking, breathing in earth’s air, and yet dead.

Dead to living freed from sin and guilt.
Dead to knowing GOD.
Dead to connecting, affirming prayer.
Dead to living with Holy Spirit Guidance, Comfort, Strength, Encouragement, Correction, Help, COMPANY – all these heavenly things.
What’s worse some people walking around comatose are people who say they know GOD. Moreover, some of these say they love GOD, but viewing their style of living, we see no consistent yielding to Holy Spirit Guidance, Comfort, Strength, Encouragement, Correction, Help, and FELLOWSHIP.

Do you ever want to say: WAKE UP, PEOPLE?
Oh! I do!  To say:

Come to LIFE.
Come to Truth.
Come to JESUS.
Examine yourselves with Scripture.
Are you alive?
Or are you dead in your sins?
Are you walking dead or have you been made ALIVE?
Have you been freed from sin and been made acceptable by and to GOD HIMSELF?

10 For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.      source

A Rose

I’m just here to share a beautiful rose with you.  It’s not from my yard but that didn’t hinder me from capturing this picture.
No, I was not trespassing. :)

I am reminded of the Rose of Sharon. 
Are you? img_6512

Something interesting — make what you shall of it. 
I keyed into a URL window Rose of Sharon Bible

Here’s a link to what I found.  The webpage is entitled: The Rose of Sharon

I really am interested in what are your thoughts as you review the webpage.

LORD willing see you tomorrow —   Love, Kathie 

Praying for Broken Legs

For more than 12 hours, with some sleep in between, I’ve been more than usually aware that all around me are messed up people (including myself).

People are wounded, injured, and broken.
Everyone I know is messed up in some manner – some with disease and sickness of the body; some emotionally; and everyone.
Yes, EVERY ONE is in need of spiritual transformation.
Some are further along in the process than others but NO ONE on earth is fully perfected. Not one of us FULLY REFLECTS JESUS.

And also disturbing to me are those who either do not know or do not care that their day-in and day-out walking around on this earth looks nothing like JESUS.

No. I’m not mad.
I’m sad.
I hurt for them.
I hurt to see so many unfixed people, living defeated lives. Lives filled with death-yielding sin.
Depression. Anger. Anxieties. Bitterness. Hatred. Corruption. Debaucheries. Fears. Animosity. Dissatisfaction. Coveting. Greed. Lusts of every sort. Sexual depravities. Confusion. Reprobate minds.
The list is endless.

AND worse, many of these are people who profess they are Christians!

So I pray.
I pray people will come to KNOW they are broken and living sin-filled lives. That they will discover there is ONE HEALER.

But you know what even GOD cannot heal a person who is not willing to be healed?
Now He can work with them to bring them to be willing.
I am praying for this too.

Have you seen that picture depicting JESUS with a lamb on His Shoulders?

Do you know why that lamb is there?
Well, the story goes that the lamb wandered off from the flock .jpeg1aand the Shepherd went looking for that lamb and when he found the lamb, he broke the lamb’s leg (and set it properly, of course) and then put the lamb on his shoulders, and he carried that lamb around until the lamb healed and learned to not wander away from Him.

(I’ve experienced this and I am eternally grateful – no, my broken leg was not my flesh and bone leg. It hurt much worse and much longer!!)

I am praying for some broken legs in the Body of Christ.

I am praying too for unbelievers that they will become noticeably aware that they are broken all over and be willing to allow JESUS to heal them.

How about you, are you praying for The Body of CHRIST?

If not, are you in need of a broken leg? 

20 Now may the God of peace—
    who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,
    and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—
21 may he equip you with all you need
    for doing his will.
May he produce in you,
    through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
    All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.  source  Hebrews 13

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
