Eternity's Corner

BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS, they have totally ran me over this year. When the Lord says he will unleash them from his store house in heaven he is not kidding! I just want to send a shout out! Praises to the Lord for all he has done for my family and extended friends here and across the world. This year has been full of blessings, he has shown me what trials and tribulations of the past can do. If you hang on long enough you will reap the reward of your harvest. To all my dear brothers and sisters in Christ if you are in a storm hang on, stay strong, be alert and know he is still there. Wait patiently through it because all things shall pass and when they do he will bless you beyond end! So Lord this is a shout out to you, this is a praise to your Holy name! Thank you for all that you have done for me...my cup overflows!!!!!

John 1:16 From His Abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. This verse right off the bat may not seem to fit, as you read you will see that it very much does. Sometimes the Holy Spirit will speak to us on unbelievable levels that the human mind has a hard time grasping all that we need to for him when he needs us to be still and know that he is God. The Lord is constantly moving he moves through us His spirit will touch us in the depths of our soul that it is sometimes overwhelming. It takes a heart focused on God and a heart that is grounded in the Holy Bible. But...when we do grasp it the revelation is blinding! When I was old enough to talk it was pounded into my head that blood was thicker than water and you always stand by family. I am here today to say this is not always true and being family does not give anyone the right to hurt someone else there is no free passes to sin and being family does not mean you are excluded from scripture. So...

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 One of the things we enjoy as humans is self-pity, somehow it makes us feel better than to stand up and be joyful no matter what the situation is or how bad of a day we had. Why? It is easier to wallow in the self-pity than it is to continue to rebuke and fight the devil. After all we fight all day with work, traffic, co-workers then when we get home? It is time to pour a glass of oh poor pitiful me, time to complain about what was not done to my specifications throughout the day. What upset me, what was done to me, and not done for me. Sound familiar? It should this is all of us. Philippians 2: 14 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. James 5:9 Do not grumble against one anothe...

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. Ever wonder where this life you live maybe going, and where you fit in to the master plan? The biggest question of all. "Ever wonder if you have been abandoned by God"? I am here today to tell you, you are not alone. When we were kids we were sung the famous song "Jesus Loves me" in this song we hear the words why we know this. "For the Bible tells me so" When you eliminate the Bible out of your Christian life you eliminate God. The Bible tells us that the only way we can defeat Satan himself is with the very word of God. This is how Jesus Christ defeated him and this is how we are to defeat him. I have been told here recently the Bible has been deleted and reworked by man. Let's think about this, if I was not spiritually grounded and not in the word of God and believed that God only spoke to me with the wind, the rise of the moon, and the stars in the sky how vulnerable would that leave ...

I will not ask how you are doing today and I will not ask how your faith is because I know. I know you do not know the purpose the Lord has for you yet, the outside that people see you feel is a mirage. You smile, laugh, and make friends with all that cross your path. There is still a saddened heart with so much love to give. You have built walls and you sometimes forget what is said in scriptures that have been spoken loud and clear of when you follow me. Deep down you know you are no longer lost, but sometimes you feel like you have been forgotten. You try to still be all that others want you to be. You have improved in that part of your life, but a part of you still feels like you on a day to day basis fall short for the one that shed his blood for you. When you rise you still feel as the sun breaks through the morning clouds that you have not done enough, and you have not done the best you can for Him. You know nothing is accomplished unless it passes through his hands. The d...

As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.   Luke 8:15 I have never been much of a Gardner; I just do not have a green thumb. I do pretty good with some plants though. I have several green plants in my home and they have managed to survive! The past few months I have no doubt this is where the Lord has been talking to me the most and that is paying more attention to what I plant. The Bible says God will harvest the seeds we plant in time. “In time” Let’s think about this, when we actually plant a seed in soil it does not pop up overnight it takes time to grow right? Okay lets think about the verse up there in Luke 8:15 it starts out stating “in the good soil” starting out we have to have a good foundation for the seed which is we have to have good soil in order for the seed flourish and produce a good plant.   I think what God is telling us is that we have to have good solid founda...

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 When I was a little girl I loved to ride horses, I was three the first time my little legs were thrown over a saddle.   My first horse was a small horse, my sister and I shared her together. She fit our experience which at that time I did not have much she was gentle and not that big. As I got bigger and a better rider and trained in how to ride, my horse got bigger as well as my saddle. I learned the horse, her habits, and she learned mine. We were a team and when I would get in an open field I would tap her sides and she knew I was ready to go, she knew it was time to run and she was to run, and run, and run. That moment to this day I can remember like it was yesterday! It was a simple moment in time, the wind on my face, her mane flowing like strawberry red ribbons. Her nostrils flaring, her ears laid back she meant business and so did I as I squeezed even harder my legs into her stoma...

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. Philippians 2:14-16 This world can be a dark and twisted place and the rules of the world seem to change like the wind, and sometimes we feel like a leaf count in it. No control over what is happening around us or to us and sometimes we never know where we are going to land. This is the way it feels, and this is exactly the way Satan wants you to feel. Our emotions can be dangerous to us if we allow them. Satan is here in this world and he is waiting for us to be in an emotional state that clouds our minds and judgment. This is not a good place for us to be and we have to be receptive of it because if we do not we will step out of God’s path and his protection. We wi...

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ. Philippians 4:6-7 I remember the first day I met my husband it was love at first sight! He was just adorable! And right off I knew something not of this world had a hand in having our paths cross. To make a long story short as time went on we went through the dating process, got engaged, moved in together, and got married. I know…I know that living together should have been eliminated. But at that time we were young and had no idea the depths of the sin we were committing. But our relationship was a work in progress and it was not easy! It took a lot of dedication getting to know one another, habits, becoming receptive of each other needs, dealing with probl...

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalms 147:3 Who on this earth can say they have never had a broken heart? If they say they have never felt the pain of a broken heart they are not being honest. When the heart breaks no one can hear it, you feel it, and feel it deeply. There is some one that does hear it….God He not only hears it loud and clear but He too feels it deeply. We all can say yes, I have had a broken heart, but each one of us has a different story to tell on how it was broken. The most painful ones are the ones from those that are the closest to us. Family has been on the top of the list for the most pain that someone can cause. We all know the story of Joseph in the Bible all too well. I think this is one of my most favorites in the Old Testament. Joseph was hated by his brothers, so much in fact they threw him in a hole and left him there to die. He was sold into slavery by The Midianites in Egypt to Potiphar, the courtier of Pharaoh. Step by step of...

  Luke 8:11-12, Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.  I am sure many have played board games, whether it is more than one player or several. What is the point of playing? Someone will be deemed a winner, the point of games? "Self" some play games for entertainment, some will play for the sheer joy of a challenge. These are games in the flesh, games in the spiritual, are games that many play with others lives, their livelihood, and maybe for the sake of there on image. Pride is on the top of the list as to the reason Satan fell and fell hard. These games are very dangerous because they are the games of Satan. There is an old saying pick and choose your battles, and it is true. You have a choice; you choose what is of God and what is of Satan. Satan can steal the word from the willfully hardened heart. Satan ...

Many thanks to Jerry and many others for the inspiration behind this one! Love you all! God BLESS! Jigsaw Puzzle   When I was a little girl I hated puzzles it   was time consuming. And I as a child did not have the time to sit down and rack my brains and put something together. I just did not have patience and no matter how hard I tried to sit down and dedicate myself to one it was pointless. After all I had horses to ride, trees to climb, fish to catch, and mud pies to make! It just did not interest me. Because again, it took so much time and patience. Little did I know I could have learned a lot about God if I did take the time. How? Well now that I am grown I think back on those simple moments to actually see the beauty of God in something as simple as a jigsaw puzzle which is trust and patience, but most of all faith in God.   Being born again is something like that I think. How? Here is a project for you take a jar put all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle i...
