A VALUABLE LESSON: BEWARE OF LIARS

A VALUABLE LESSON:  LIARS 

Have you ever stared a liar in the face when you knew that he/she was lying to you?  

What a life lesson for all to learn.

Here's the lesson, never let a liar know that you know he/she is a liar.
You're only going to frustrate yourself by doing so. 

Simply watch, recognize, listen and pray for the liar.

Watch the liar because you know that he/she cannot be trusted.

Don't entrust anything of value with a liar.

Don't trust your friendship, your well-being, your possessions or your morals and values with a liar.

Just watch them in order to learn how they operate and manipulate.

You will see that their body language and facial expressions reveal who they are.

Don't be fooled by their smiles and gestures that seem like an act of kindness.

Recognize the lie and the liar - not publicly.  God will handle that.

Know the liars for who they really are - not who you want to think they are.

You don't have to defend a lie.

The truth will overpower the lie.

Maybe not in your timing; but in due time, the truth will overshadow the lie.

Listen to liars- but don't believe them; 

In listening, you will hear the scheme of his/her lies.

...and you will learn about the character of the liar.

Don't try to figure them out or understand them.

You won't; unless you're of the same character..

Liars want you to believe that they are on your side when they really are not.

Liars are masters of deception.  Snakes.  Self-seeking.

Pray for the liar.  Pray for their repentance.

Forgive the liars.  

Yes, forgive them because God will cover you 

with His hedge of protection against the wiles of liars and their schemes.

Pray and ask God for the gift of spiritual discernment.

Allow the Holy Spirit to abide in you as your protector and your guide.

Liars and lying are destructive, divisive and unproductive.

Be a truth-bearer.

Be of the truth even when the truth isn't popular or embraced.

I would rather embrace the truth even if the truth hurts; 

than to embrace a lie that will not stand on solid ground.

Proverbs 12:22 ESV

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.

Revelation 21:8 ESV

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

STOP THIEF!

Stop Thief!

Really?  Did you just try to rob me???

Where is my purse, you asked???

My purse is where it belongs!
Now, where do you belong?

Where are your parents?

What are your future aspirations?

Where do you go from here? What are you thinking?

What does the future hold for you?   

Certainly you can't expect to have a future of robbing people.  Don't you know that your life is more precious than wasting it in a jail cell or an early grave?  As for the others who were waiting on you in the getaway car, they are not your friends.  True friends don't let friends do wrongful acts.  

True friends don't help friends do wrong.  I'm old enough to be your mother and did you just try to rob me???!!!!  

Shame.  What a shame. I thank Jesus for watching over me.  I thank God that there was a band of angels dispatched to protect me.  This could have been worse.  This could have gone in every wrong way imaginable.  I pray for this young man.  I pray that he turns from his wicked ways and repents.

We must pray for our young people.

Some of them are so lost and hopeless.

Ezekiel 33:14-15ESV

14 Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, 15 if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

STOP THE VIOLENCE - Caskets Too Short, Too Soon, For All the Wrong Reasons

Unacceptable!
They are killing our future.
                          Under no circumstances should parents have to                           bury a child due to abuse, neglect or violence.

Under no circumstances should children be angry and Godless.
Under no circumstances should children and irresponsible people
be in possession of guns or any other weapons of destruction.

Under no circumstances should we be afraid to trust the police and policymakers.

Under no circumstances should our children, communities and families be at risk.
                                 Under no circumstances should citizens be                                    afraid to drive through certain neighborhoods.

Under no circumstances should children have  no safe place to play.

Under no circumstances should we be afraid of our youth.
Under no circumstances should we live in fear.
Under no circumstances should we lack brotherly or sisterly love.
Under no circumstances should we refuse to honor God.
Under no circumstances should there be hate.

Under no circumstances should we lack compassion.

God is love.
When we turn away from God, we turn away from love.
...for that reason we have violence, hate, hurt and destruction.
Unacceptable!

CHRISTMAS MESSAGES

Luke 2:10 (KJV)

And the angel said unto them, Fear not:  

for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Give God the glory and honor for His son, Jesus.  

During this holiday season, let us remember that the angels reported

“good tidings, ” which means "good news" of great joy.  

Then, why have we given Christmas a life of its own, 

commercialized apart from its purpose?

This holiday season, let us pray for the

 purpose of Christmas:  no debt, no depression, no stress. 

May we abide in the real purpose of Christmas:  great joy, peace and goodwill in our homes, in our families and to all people.

Remember those in bereavement this season and pass the peace.

Matthew 28:18 (KJV)
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

After Jesus had completed his mission on earth,

He spoke to his disciples to give them a mission to

continue the work on earth during His physical absence from them (The Great Commission – Matthew 28:19-20).

However, He ensured the disciples that even though He had given

them power and authority to heal, deliver, etc.

He is the one with all power and authority in heaven and earth.  That power and authority was given to Him by God.

Now who wouldn’t worship and adore a Christ like that during this Christmas season.

There is no Christmas without Christ. 

Whatever you are praying for, needing, or giving thanks for, turn it over to Christ who has all power and authority.

Merry CHRISTmas!

A WALK ON THE BEACH

TAKE A WALK ALONG THE BEACH

Serenity is a blessing!  

There's joy along the journey of God's promises.  

Find a quiet place to feel the peace, happiness and joys of life.  

God speaks to us when we can get alone and hear His divine.  

Some time ago, I spoke with someone who was contemplating suicide.  

Through only what God could intervene and say, I hope my words were encouraging.  

Don't focus on negative voices, criticisms, offenses and badgering from people.  

Focus on God's promises and His plan for your life.  

Only His grace and mercy are sufficient.

Take a walk along the beach and hear His still voice of direction.  

Give yourself a personal lift...Dress up in a new outfit and
walk like you own the place.

Take a walk along the beach.

Know that God and 

He only can control the vastness of the oceans.

 When your oceans of life come rushing at you like a big wave, know that God IS in control. 

Don't take your life...take a walk along the beach.  

Nothing is too big or too hard for God.

LIFE IS BETTER THAN GOOD.

Take a Walk Along the Beach!

 (A Poem Written by Vanady A. Daniels)

Take a walk along the beach to think.

Think about your successes.

Think about your family.

Think about a childhood event.

Think about your learning experiences.

Think about things that you never want to do again.

Think about things that you wish you can do over and over again

Think about the beauty in your life.

Think about something funny.

Think about your challenges.

Think about how you overcome them.

Think about those people who pushed you into your purpose.
Think about how vast the ocean is wide; and you can drink it all.
Think about the problems that you turn over to God because he can.

Think about a time when you helped someone and felt good.

Think and take a deep breath to inhale the ocean breeze.

Think about a time when something made you laugh.

Think about a time when you felt courageous.

Think about you and your next steps in life.

TAKE A WALK ALONG THE BEACH!

MAGNIFY THE LORD ABOVE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

MAGNIFY THE LORD ABOVE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

Psalm 34:3 KJV

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:3 NIV

Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.

There will ALWAYS be circumstances in our lives and people who cause them.  However, turn it around and let God bless you with favor when you exalt and magnify the name of The Lord.

When we pray, we are glorifying God the Father, and His Son Jesus, through our prayers and

acknowledging that the “higher” beings are bigger than any and everything imaginable.

It is easy as humans to be emotional (worried, fearful, upset, disappointed, etc.) when we encounter circumstances and/or people who are not favorable.  But, "magnify" The Lord in every situation to help you through.  

When things are going well, "Lord I magnify your name, because you gave favor to me in this matter - you blessed me."

When things are not going well, "Lord I magnify your name, and I'm going to watch you work it out for my good."

But take a moment to exhale, don’t give those forces any energy…”Magnify The Lord.”

How? Say it in the midst of the adversity:  “Lord, I magnify your name in this situation.”  

Every time the devil tries to lift his head and reign over your life, say it:  

"Lord, I magnify your name in this situation."

It’s like looking at The Lord through a magnifying glass - 

“nobody or nothing is greater.”

Did you know that demons tremble at the name of Jesus? 

(James 2:19)

No matter what we are going through, 

The Lord is bigger than that.

"Lord I magnify your name because only YOU can make the sun rise and set."
