I know this is an unusually long story, but I believe it will touch your heart. As I read this, I realized that I have suffered nothing compared to this little girl. There are times I murmur and complain, but I will think twice before I do so again. 1 Peter 4:1, "Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin."

A little girl stood outside the doorway of the church longing for the love and joy displayed by those inside. The American missionary had asked her to come in, but she had politely declined. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to accept the kind offer. Quite the opposite; her heart was beckoning her to join in their singing and worship. They seemed so happy, and the fellowship was so spontaneous and natural.
But this was a hostile area in the Philippines, and her father had strictly forbidden her to have anything to do with “those Christians.”
Inside, the missionary was praying fervently for her soul. She wanted to teach the little Filipino girl about Jesus and how He shed His blood on a cross so that her sins could be washed away. At the same time, the girl knew something was happening because each week she found it harder and harder to say no to the missionary.
Finally one Sunday morning, she accepted. She accepted not only the invitation to attend the Sunday school class, but also opened her heart to Jesus and became a child of God.
Full of joy, the missionary gave her a beautiful white dress. It symbolized the amazing fact that Jesus had washed all her sins away. Full of joy, she went home with her two special gifts -- the wonderful Spirit of Jesus in her heart and the pretty dress to remind her that God had made her pure and holy inside.
A day or so later, the missionary rushed to the next service. She could hardly wait to see the new little Christian again. But the girl was nowhere to be found. No one had seen her or heard anything about her. Concerned, the missionary traveled to her home village. Near her home, she found the young believer lying in the dirt. Her white dress was torn, filthy, and soaked in blood. The girl’s father hadn’t shared the missionary’s joy in his daughter’s newfound faith. In a drunken rage he had beaten her, repeatedly kicked her, and left her to die.
The missionary gently lifted the fragile girl and carried her back to the church where a doctor rushed in to help her. But there was nothing he could do. He removed the ragged dress and cleaned her up, but her injuries were too severe. The young Filipino girl would soon die. The missionary and other friends stayed with her, trying to comfort her during her final hour.
God brought her back to consciousness for a short while, and the girl was able to make an unusual request. Despite the pain of her father's anger and the horrible beating, she wanted to hold the white dress the missionary had given her. The woman explained that it was torn and soaked with blood and dirt, but dying girl insisted on having it in her hands. With the simple faith of a ten-year-old she whispered, “I just want Jesus to know that I was willing to bleed for Him.”

How many have had someone judge you for speaking God's Word, than delete you as a friend on FB? I have my hand lifted. The Pharisees were constantly looking for ways to discredit the Master, when He spoke, well, we as Christians are feeling the same, from those that say they are always right and you are always wrong.

They are those that choose to walk in comfort and ease in their spiritual walk, rather than listening to the Truth. Sometimes the Truth hurts, it steps on your toes and makes you uncomfortable. I have felt that many times. When that feeling comes the best thing to do is get on your knees and ask the Lord, if what has been said is of God. I have personally watched, as certain individuals will pick and prod at everything you share, with no biblical backing. Trying to shame you for speaking God's Holy Word. Out of jealousy and ignorance of God's Word, they push back, leading many in the wrong direction.

If people choose to be like the Pharisees, they will try to lay a trap for a man or woman of God, don't allow yourself to be caught in their snare. Move on, let God handle them. Speak the Word in boldness, if they choose to listen, God will take care of them...

John 7:24:
"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

I want my life to be an open book. One that people can read from my personal life. It will show that I have imperfections and I have failed God many times. But what I say, I want that to be my legacy. I will keep getting up, dusting myself off and start all over again. One of my desires is to know the Holy Spirit in a greater dimension.

I can be assured that the Holy Spirit will lead me to the Master. Let's look ar what John 16:13 says
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

Scripture also tells us also in John 14:26:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

When Jesus left this earth, He left us the Precious Holy Spirit so that we could walk in the ways of our Lord and Saviour. All we have to do is call upon the Holy Spirit. I cannot even tell you the number of times I have called upon the Holy Spirit and He led me into the Truth of God's Word. I never want to be without Him...

Forgiveness means to forgive, to exonerate, to pardon, to grant mercy to someone that has hurt or wounded you.

How many can say they have been wounded and have forgiven someone? I believe we all can do so, but I have learnt something about forgiveness, as I grew in the Knowledge of the Word. Forgiveness just doesn't mean I say those words and don't really truly forgive. I must not only forgive with my mouth, but with my heart. There have been individuals put in my path, that have hurt me so bad, I just figured if I never saw them again, I would be at peace. As I was studying, God showed me that wasn't enough. He wanted me to forgive those individuals, that if I saw them, I could truly show the Love of God in my heart, no matter what they had done to me.

I must say when the Lord spoke to me, I wanted to argue with Him, yet I knew it was futile and if I wanted to go forward in my spiritual growth, I had to love "unconditionally". There are some people I would just rather forget, but God said "no", your heart must be right.

Several years ago, a woman hurt my husband and I, neither one of us cared if we ever saw this person again, but God started dealing with us, He wanted us to pray for her, yet, we didn't even want to do that. As we prayed, something happened, God touched our hearts, softening them. Several years later, we saw this woman and we were able to hug her, even telling her we truly loved her. That is the greatest act of forgiveness. Only God can heal the heart and replace it with His Love...

I choose to forgive...

So many say they are Christians, but what does their life show. As you read this story evaluate your own walk with the Lord.

"A CORRECT ASSUMPTION"
A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten The red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, finger printed, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, Naturally... I assumed you had stolen the car."

As I continue with having discernment and protecting ourselves from false teachers, we must remember, there are people wanting to destroy the Works of the Lord. Many times, Satan will use those that have little or no knowledge of the Word, to bring forth a false doctrine.

I talked about discernment yesterday, but we need to go further in the Word. I will never be able to discern, without the Knowledge of God's Holy Word. There are individuals that call themselves Christians and do nothing but promote for the Kingdom of Darkness. We find ourselves following someone because they are nice and kind, but they are deceptive concerning the Word. I must reiterate, Satan is out to kill, to steal and to destroy. Sad to say, it can be by well meaning individuals, that have never read their Bible or have no knowledge of Jesus Christ.

My first red flag, is when someone tells me that God has spoken to them and what they are saying does not line up with the Word. God and His Word are one. Psalm 12:6-7 says, "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." God will never speak ANYTHING contrary to His Word.

I have shared many stories about me and my husband, even some that weren't so flattering, but as we grow, we have also grown in His Knowledge, helping us to discern what is right or wrong spiritually.

So, the jist of this is, if someone is telling you "thus saith the Lord" and it is not scriptural, run away from them, as far as you can. God is not a part of this. Don't follow everyone that says "I am a Christian", look at their life and see if the Light of Christ is shining through them. I have learnt to walk cautiously, trusting God to lead me...There are definitely "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing" prowling around. Don't be deceived by the Evil One...

To protect ourselves from these false teachings and ministers we need to be able to discern who is godly and who is being used of the devil, to destroy us.

What does the word "discern" mean? I found 2 biblical definitions:
1. Discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong.
2. Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth.

Now that I have given a definition, let us examine what the Word of God says. In Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
How can we "discern" what is in someone's heart? As we study the Word of God, He will give us the ability to hear and heed the warnings when something is not right. The Lord will thwart the plan of Satan, giving us knowledge to know what is the true intent of an individual.

Personally, we have had so called Christians act like they were our friends and something just didn't feel right about them. As we took our concerns to the Lord in prayer, the Master revealed that Satan was setting a trap for us. We need to be able to discern what is godly and what is satanic. God does not want His Children to be led into false teaching.

If we are following the Lord, reading His Word, and praying, the Lord will protect you when Satan tries to bring you down. When we walk in His Light and His Righteousness, God will give us discernment, destroying the plans of the demonic kingdom...

For the next few days I am going to continue to share concerning those that are being deceived by false teachers and leaders. Lately, I have seen "garbage" on FB and messenger that is not biblical at all. I am trying to warn innocent indivduals that are being "hoodwinked" into believing that which is not in the Bible. The Word of God says in Ephesians 5:11, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." It is time to expose these false teachers.

I personally, have been contacted by individuals saying that God has told them something that is contrary to His Holy Word and they want me to back and promote this ungodly "trash". It is getting worse and people are falling into the hands of the devil, through these servants of satan. I have warned people numerous times and will continue to do so, to keep a watchful eye on those that speak without backing with the Word of God. I really like those that use videos to promote their demonic heresy. It is happening too much and God's innocent "sheep" are being deceived. In 1 Kings 22:21-22, "And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so." I truly believe there are individuals that allow themselves to be used by the devil to promote false doctrine.

REMEMBER: If people speak without using God's Word or they twist the Word to get you to follow or give money to them, something is definetly wrong. The Holy Spirit gently woos, the devil pushes...

I am going to continue to share on being deceived by false teachers, because it happens so frequently. We better know the Word of God for ourselves or we can and will be deceived.

God's Word tells us in 1 Timothy 4, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron."

We are seeing this happen. I have watched as godly men and women have walked away from God and His Holy Word. Twisting and turning everything that is Holy until it doesn't look or even have the concept of the scriptures. They no longer have a conscience, what they once preached against, they now accept. WHY??? Because we have allowed the world to infiltrate the church and the leaders have been complacent teaching the Bible, as it is written.

I saw on the news where a Pastor was against the LGBT, evening saying they could be on their way to hell, yet, he was allowing those that did not believe this, to get behind his pulpit and speak to the "sheep" God had entrusted him with. I sure wouldn't want to be that Pastor when he stood before Almighty God...

People are being wooed by the ungodly, now calling it godly. How could this be happening? Our conscience has been seared and we no longer desire the Path of the Lord.

We must keep ourselves in the Word, in prayer, and don't open ungodly doors to the devil...

In Romans 2:7-8, scripture tells us:
"To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger."

How many do we see today, that have rejected the Truth? We talk to those that no longer believe the Word of God, or someone has written a book that tickles their ears, they immediately follow that person or their ministry, without checking the facts through the Bible. We better watch out who we walk after. God wants us to have a knowledge of His Word, not what someone else has told us. I had a man send me a video of what this Pastor said, that didn't even line up with the Bible, yet he was promoting "garbage" that was not scriptural. I wonder how many were deceived by this man and his false teachings?

Let me say this, I can miss it just like anyone else, but if I take God's Word and it lines up with His Laws, Statutes, and Commandments, I can be assured God will bless it. I better be listening to what is being taught. Don't be deceived by these false teachers and ministers, that tell you what they think or what someone has told them. If you do not understand what has been placed before you, ask the Holy Spirit to give you Revelation Knowledge of the Word. He has never failed me and He never will.

Noah built an ark, yet he was mocked by those around him, until the rains came, than they wanted the doors be opened to them, but it was too late. Don't let it be too late, know who you are following and that the Truth is in them.

"A man can miss it, but God never will."

Can a person that calls themself a Christian be a person filled with unbelief?
In Numbers 14:11
“And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?”

Rev. David Wilkerson made this powerful statement, that bears repeating: "Just as in Moses’ day, God’s people today trudge blindly on in unbelief, seeming to believe that the grace of God exempts them from the penalties of sin." Christians sin and say God is accepting of their sin. They believe there will be no punishment for their actions.

We see many claiming to be a Christian, yet, they do not believe God's Word, they question His authority, and they don't show the Light of Christ in their life. They are not fooling anyone, but themselves. They go through a trial or a circumstance that they do not like and they automatically blame God for their downfalls, when they should be looking inside their own hearts.

If you are filled with unbelief, get alone with God, ask Him to touch your heart and change your attitude. I can personally say, God has given me many attitude changes, throughout my walk. It has always drawn me closer to the Lord...

Hebrews 6:4-6, "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."

2 Peter 2:21
“For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.”

The Apostle Peter addressed the issue of those that have turned away from the Lord. There are those that say "Once saved always saved", yet Peter talks about individuals that have known the Word and yet they have walked away from the Truth.

God was merciful, giving His only Son, Jesus Christ, that we could have eternal life, yet, there have been people that have turned their back on God and His Word. It is called making a "choice", doing what they want to do. Amazing to me, that if people have tasted of the "fruits" of the Lord, that they could say there is no God or I no longer believe, because someone offended me or it doesn't line up with how I choose to live my life. Truth be known, if we truly know Jesus Christ, we would know the love that He has for us and never turn away from His Holy Word.

The only way to know Him, is to spend time with Him, read the Word, pray, talk to Him. Tell Him when you are hurting or angry. Let Him be the One to heal the wounded heart. Yes, I do believe there are those that have turned from God and His Word. They need to repent and come back to the fold, but it will only be their choice.

I have found some pretty profound stories, that I feel the Holy Spirit is leading me to pass on. “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

Pastor J. H. Crowell, when about sixteen, shipped on a sailing vessel, where he was the only Christian, in a crew of twelve. Before leaving his mother he promised to meet her three times a day at the throne of grace. So regularly he went below and prayed aloud. He thought he must. They threw wood at him and poured buckets of water over him, but could not put out the fire in his soul. Then they tied him to the mast and laid thirty-nine stripes on his back. Still he prayed. They tied a rope around his body and threw him overboard. He swam as best he could, and when he took hold of the side of the ship they pushed him off with a pole. At last his strength gave way, and, supposing they meant to kill him, he prayed that God would forgive them, and called out: "Send my body to my mother and tell her that I died for Jesus." He was then pulled on deck unconscious, but after some time came to. Conviction began to seize the sailors. Before night two of them were gloriously converted. Inside of a week every one on board, including the captain, was blessedly saved.

Should a Christian Obey the Laws of the Land?

Let me start with this story before I get into the scripture of this statement. I was told by an individual that they had gotten married in the church, but they never bothered to get the license, to make it legal. The individual knew in their heart it was wrong, but the Pastor stated that he didn't care what the law said, but what it would look like in God's Eyes. The Pastor even went so far to make up his own Marriage License to give to those that came to him.

I share this story because there are those that refuse to obey God's Laws, Statutes, and Commandments, then they wonder why God is not blessing them. Let's see what God's Word says: Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." God is truly the Supreme Power and Law, so obeying God comes first. Yet, the Master stated in Mark 12:14~17, "Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him."

I believe if the Law is against the Word of God, we should follow the Lord and His Word...ALWAYS!!!

I found this story and there are times, certain ones really touch your heart. We don't know what it is to suffer for Christ. 1 Peter 5:10, "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."

An evangelist said: “A little girl of eight years was sent on an errand by her parents. While on her way, she was attracted by the singing of a gospel meeting in the open air, and drew near. The conductor of the meeting was so struck with the child’s earnestness that he spoke to her, and told her about Jesus. She being the child of Roman Catholics, did not know much about Him, but the gentleman told her of His love to her. On returning home her father asked her what had detained her. She told him, and he cruelly beat her, forbidding her to go to any such meeting again. About a fortnight afterwards, she was so taken up with what she had previously heard of Jesus, that she forgot all about her message. She saw the same gentleman, who again told her more about the Savior. On her return home, she again told her father, as before, where she had been, and that she had not brought what she had been sent for, but that she had brought Jesus. Her father was enraged, and kicked the poor little creature until the blood came. She never recovered from this brutal treatment. Just before she breathed her last, she called her mother and said: “Mother, I have been praying to Jesus to save you and father.” Then pointing to her little dress, she said: “Mother, cut me a bit out of the blood-stained piece of my dress.” The mother, wondering, did so. "Now,” said the dying child, “Christ shed His blood for my sake, and l am going to take this to Jesus to show Him that I shed my blood for His sake.” Thus she died, holding firmly the piece of her dress, stained with her own blood. The testimony of that dear child was the means of leading both father and mother to Christ.
