Remi's Thoughts

Dying Dreams or Lack of strength

2008-11-09T17:14:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago, I was sent by the Lord to tell a group of workers, that the Lord knew their dreams of prospering were dying. Hearts were broken, trust was shattered...... I watched as the Lord began to heal the hearts of these oversea's workers.... and listened as the Lord began to speak walking in the spirit of self-control... boldness... just as simple as drawing of the self-esteem of the Lord.. Grace.. the boldness and power and courage of the Lord. Using HIS self-esteem for our strength to say no to those demanding all our resources.

Many have been abused from the demands of relatives who use all their strength to beg, but not to work. To make us feel guilty for not providing their needs, when it's us who have worked so hard and there's nothing left for our dreams.....

And what about the dreams the Lord has for us.. will we ever attain those dreams if we never walk in the self control, a simple power we have to make plans, and keep in our plans, regardless of how people demand of us our last.. even asking us to go into debt for them?...... so we will become impoverished again.... just like them.. so no one is to prosper? wow... that's just plain foolishness of us all.....

But many are not able to say NO... hmmm well, just hang up the phone... get a new cim card, make your own plans for the money and tell them you have no more left for their plans.. hehe.. who's in control of the reward of your labor.. you?? or someone else....

Think about it.....

Faith with out works is D.E.A.D.

2008-06-17T19:12:00.000-07:00

James 2:2222 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?(KJV) Hmmm.. so many sit by the way, saying, "I have faith"... and i see how if it's really true, they would be doing more works... Sure, you are not saved by works alone, but by your faith. So go ahead and trust totally on Jesus for your salvation, calling upon His Name! All the while, watching others trusting that they must have done something good enough for God to save you from sin....

And those who are saved from sin by your faith in Jesus Christ, why not take your faith, that you have discovered really works.. cause it got you saved... and do something extraordinary with it. Feed a hungry child... clothe someone who is naked... reach out farthier than you ever did before.

When was the last time you ever did something beyond yourself????? something that isn't about you....

Can i provoke you a little... I know many in need.. greater needs than you ever imagine. Starving. Lonely. Destitute.

Or Pastors trying to reach more than they have the means to reach... believing God to provide.. some just need a bicycle, some a motorcycle.. anything to get them down the road farther than they have been....... Wanna send one? write me.. Email's at the bottom of the home page..

Just remember... have faith to God and yourself.. and reach out and touch someone someplace.

you were created for it!...

Patience... a fruit..

2008-05-24T10:38:00.000-07:00

Today, things just aren't seeming to work too well to my thinking, but i've decided that since Jesus is Lord, that i'm having an ok day.. and decided to enjoy this Life and breathe deep.. On top of the work thing, and the workers thing.. i'm having a body thing.. age isn't settling with me much and i really don't like the aches that go with it as the body changes. Bending over to fix things is too much a challenge, so i decided to sit on a bucket for ease... that works..

Reading again the book of Ecclesiastes, seeing how the Preacher found it's all vanity anyway, i can relate to that a lot. I think he was older when he wrote it... "What ever existed already, has been given a name, it's nature is known, a man cannot contend with what is stronger than he. But thank God, that through faith, the world was framed!.. so ...

While i'm thinking of all these things, i receive a phone call, and discover there's some help on the way already for some of the things.. HAHAHA.....

Father knows already our needs and provided them through His Son.. WOW......

Have a Great day out there whereever you are and whatever you are doing... and remember that Help is on the way..... Father promised it... and Jesus sent the Spirit to "MAKE IT SO!""

Anti-Shock

2008-05-18T15:42:00.000-07:00

The Lord is sooooo Goood!!.. i thought i'd update on my IRS factor... My giving last year.. well, it far out numbered the IRS tab.. and i suppose i could have made it all a deduction, which i'm titled to.. but i live on another plane, believing, not achieving... as the bible says.. (Street Letters Bible) and it's been my purpose to live on the tithe, if you will.. since it belongs to the Lord, and He's the one who promise all my needs....

I had collected a few stocks.. penny stocks, over the last year, and was reminded by the Holy Spirit that there should be sufficient amount to take care of the IRS.. and lo... to the dollar... WOW... just obeying Him over the past years still produces things that are in our life at the point of need.. It is sooo amazing...

This month, i wittness my first sponsored college student graduate! and within the week, receive an employment offer...... by someone seeing the integrity that is displayed.... so i'm sooo joyful to know, i did what i did, cause i see now the fruit.... fruit i believed would be there.... if someone just gave that one a chance at life more abundant...

Thank you Lord Jesus... for believing in us....

Have a good day.. obey the Spirit... give a hand to someone....

Shocking

2008-04-15T18:15:00.000-07:00

Imagine, you have given all your funds away, helping other people survive, study, succeed in life, business, and other great needs they have had.... then, when you are sitting there with nothing more to give, even though they keep asking, that suddenly, the Internal Revenue Tax man sends you forms, and informs you that you will owe them PHP 347,050...... or if you like Dollars, then it's $8,596....... and all you can say, is .... Lord Jesus... your mercy endures forever towards me..... and i never let the left hand know what the right hand is giving.. or to whom..

So all my life, i've yearned to help others, and keep getting beaten up for doing so. Getting robbed, stolen from, conned, abused, used,..... hmmm sounds like the same one who went to the cross for us all... attacked by demons, princes of the powers of the air, demonic forces, and all the while surrounded by angels, keeping my body safe, watching how the Lord will care for me.... hmmm so... i'll feed another hungry one tomorrow.. somehow.. some way....

Remi..... Have a blessed life!

Love IN you

2008-02-29T10:59:00.000-08:00

today, for a time, it seemed as though God was soooo distant.. so far away! And yet, when i quiet myself, i find within my being, a substance of LOVE.. WOW, it's incredible... making tears come to my eyes! And while it's active to me, i think of many of you in person, and feel that substance moving so profoundly! Really feeling how much God Loves YOU!... the Apple of HIS eyes...

So i'm telling you this that you might stop to ponder, if Christ be IN YOU... hmmm that's really something to experience moment by moment..

And if perchance He is not? why not ask Him to come in! You've got plenty of room in that heart of yours... Room for Jesus to exist... to live... to move.. to Love!

Just a thought for your day!.... Love and Blessings to you

Harvest in It's Season

2008-02-16T10:06:00.000-08:00

the Scripture speaks of "blessings", "fruit", "harvest" and "rain" in his season. Well, that got me to thinking again.... Using my faith to receive seed from God, alwayz seems to take 9-10 months for the fruit to come in "his season", meaning from the time i ask the Lord for seed to sow, and blieve i receive when i pray, that the seed usually gets to me in about 9-10 months...

Maybe others get theirs faster, but i'm not talking of a few bucks of seek. And i'm usually growing in my seed size.. and it ain't so i can get the harvest myself.. I like to sow in another's field, so "THEY" will get the harvest...... i'm just a sower, in that respect. No need for greed here, it's God who has given me this ability and this nature of His......

Anyway, it was just some thoughts for today about my walk with the Lord.. How's yours? and what types of abilities has He given to you? Do you even know?..

Remi.... peace and quietness for your day....

Thar's Gold in them thar Hills!

2008-01-21T15:52:00.000-08:00

Shortly after someone asked me what the Spirit was saying to me about the Spooner, Wisconson area, I had this thought run through my mind. "Thar's Gold in them thar Hills, ceptin nobody believes it yet!"

I laughed for a while, thinking about it, but still, it was sobering to think that people have lived on top of wealth before.... so close to their dreams and never ataining because they just didn't believe it could be that near, and still not ever believe it was under their feet.

Well, Spooner, dream on! But somebody's gonna believe it one day and you'll hear of it!

Just my thoughts for the day,

Angels.. and their purposes!

2007-12-21T18:16:00.000-08:00

Matthew 13:41-43 I will send my angels, and they will separate out of the Kingdom every temptation and all who are evil,42 and throw them into the furnace and burn them. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.43 Then the godly shall shine as the sun in their Father's Kingdom. Let those with ears, listen!(TLB)

Whew, won't that be a nice day! Angels will come and throw that stuff in the furnace.. Imagine what it will be like with no temtations around, so we can just focus.... on the Kingdom of God, and His Christ.. Now that makes me feel some joy rising... hehe..

Just think of it... and it's all planned out already.... that day is coming.. just we don't know when...

Just waiting

2007-12-14T18:56:00.000-08:00

Today, i'm having a short pity party for myself... I'm finally realizing that nobody really reads my blogs but me.... so i really use it as a reminder of my own inspirations from the Lord, and also as my type of Journal. Perhaps that's not the wisest thing i'm doing, but still i'll have some kind of online record anyway, in case my pc takes a bullet again.

last time my system went down, i had to buy a new one. Some kind of virus i think, from using yahoo chats, i got invaded. grrrrr I was about to go on a mission trip to the Philippines again, so i didn't have so much time to play with the machine so i just bought one at Best Buy.... Not the fastest/leanest... but one that works. And it introduced me to Vista, which i kinda like.. most of the time.

I'vereceived a few testimonies from my last trip. One, a spinal healing, in a young woman who suffered 9 years in pain, but the Lord healed her when i gave a Word of knowledge. Glory to God, it's alwayz exciting to learn of those.

And i heard testimony of the fulfilment of a Word of Prophesy i gave in 1989 that was fulfilled. Wow,,,, Keep doing it Jesus!!!

THE WIndow... Hmmmm

2007-09-24T17:33:00.000-07:00

There it is again, Deut. 28 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.(KJV)

Hmmm what's this? Heaven OPEN........ Ohh Gosh.... i thought i had to perform for that.. hehehe.. I guess God found somebody perfect to perform those requirements for all of us.. Now, all we have to do is believe!.. But how will they believe, unless someone is sent to preach the Good News!......

To me, the Good News is that finally, someone performed so perfect, that God OPENED THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN.... even John the Baptist saw it!... over the head of Jesus.... hmmmm

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....Gal 3:1-51 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?(KJV)

WaHahahaha... i'm about rolling on the floor... to discover we've been bewitched, enchanted to get us to perform.. when all the Spirit really needs is for us to obey his leading.. so He can get us into our land.. where the blessings are pouring....

Maybe it's our work, our job, or a place, or a nation, that' he's trying to get us in position to have those blessings pour on us... like we're a dry and thirsty land..

Put your mind on God

2007-09-02T18:47:00.000-07:00

It's always hard when things are so busy around us, to keep our mind focused on God. Of course, if we are having a deep love relationship with Him, then it's rather easy. Sort of like when we're really in love with someone here. Our thoughts are always on that person. And about the only way to focus, is to make your heart come back to you.. Whish sounds easy, but by experience, it's rather tuff at times.

Our heart should... belong to Jesus... Hmmmm Should.... And He should be our main love, but in this world, there's so many things which get our fucus. So i've tried each day, to call my heart back to me from all, so it can have heart-to-heart with Him... After all, without God active in my heart, nobody's gonna really like me anyway..

But when i take the time, and remember that He saved me from Eternal absence of Love.. wow.. then it's a real love time to have. Cause i'm so greatful to Him.. Now there's a GOD, who knows how to save, and save, and save.. and rescue me on a regular basis.. cause really, I keep screwing things up here... not alwayz doing the right thing or at the right time.. even when I want to.. hehe.. What's your god done for you?

Empty inside?

2007-08-26T09:45:00.000-07:00

Today, i read the news report that Mother Teresa spent her life helping the poor, but was always empty herself inside. Doubting if God really existed.. yah.. it's in her letters to her bishop. hidden until now. I think it's a sad thing, a person has a religion but no relationship with God Himself, through his Son, Jesus Christ.Taught about Him, yet never meeting Him. Telling others about Him, never knowing Him yourself.. And especially to invite Him into your heart, where He will dwell by your faith. Hmmmm so sad.. yet having a compassion for the poor of this world and doing something about it with her life..

John 6:3535 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.(KJV)

Are you empty and thirst? or filled and having living water that pours out of your belly to others. It's really the difference when Christ comes into our hearts!

Don't make the same error with your belief... if you believe in Him, Invite Him into your heart to live, so you might live yourself and have something eternal inside you...

Travel... it was just a dream

2007-08-20T16:29:00.000-07:00

Growing up, i always dreamed i would travel someday, but like many, i had no money to enjoy my dreams. Then, during a long fast, the Spirit of the Lord came to my house and showed me how he had already made a way for me to travel. I just had not known that information, though it was there for 20 years!

What things are available for us to fulfill our dreams? Do you think you would be having those dreams if the real provision was not yet in this world? And if it is here, in this world already, then how do we find out what it is, or where it is? I think that's the question we should be asking God.

Maybe you should be talking to your angel, the one sent to be your servant, and require him to bring you and your provision to a meeting place... to an encounter.. hehe.. what a joyful thought that is. And yet, most never think of it. We talk about our guardian angel, but maybe he's much more than just a guardian...... maybe he's really a servant to the true heir's of faith!!!

Just a thought... food for the imagination, reality for the heart...... your choice...

Foolish... enchanted...

2007-08-20T16:12:00.000-07:00

Gal 3:1-9
1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Wow.. that's a mouthful of GREAT NEWS!!! Can we dare to believe that we are already blessed??? Instead of hoping that we will abe blessed.. Cause if we truly are "in Christ", then we really are Abraham's seed..and really are Blessed!... Not because we perform correctly, but because we believed!

Could you then dare to look in a mirror, and say to yourself... Helo... Did you know YOU are Blessed... that indeed.. I am Blessed!.. And because we truly believe in Christ Jesus, then the Holy Spirit has been sent to MAKE IT SO... In our lives.. to make the blessings appear to us..

Blessed means.... To be Happy, To be Prosperous, To be Satisfied with GOOD!.. hmmmm WOW... really my friends, it was the Holy Spirit that made my life blessed, after i really believed in Jesus... I mean.. you gotta love that guy.. He just gave His life... to die on that cross.. so we could be blessed in this life.. and the life after. WOW.. even if we have grumpy days.. or bad nights... Life is still more enjoyable since i met Jesus!

Why not just believe that you are truly Blessed.. and go looking for someone in this world to be a blessing to... hmmm giving and sharing what you have.. with those who have not..

anyway.. it's my thoughts tonight...

Don't Just Sit There!

2007-08-04T05:30:00.000-07:00

In 2Kings 7, 4 men, lepers, sat at the gate of a city that was surrounded by the enemy. Yet, they said, "Why sit here til we die?" If we go into the city, there's a famine and we will die. Let's go to the army of the Syrians. If they spare us, we will live, and if they kill us, we shall but die." So, they rose, and went to the camp of the enemy. But God had created a noise of chariots, and the enemy had become filled with fear and fled so when the lepers got there, the tents we empty of men, but filled with food and silver, gold, and clothing. so they ate, and hid the goodies.. but then, thought, we better go tell the King, or they're gonna be mad at us, so they went and told the king. "Hey King, the enemy fled, and left all their food and riches in their tents for you and your people to have!"

When we can overcome our situation by just getting up and going out to a different place, we soon discover that God has gone before us, prepaping something new and filled with blessings. After all, why just sit there in your self-pity, miserable life? What have you to lose by going out? You're gonna die just sitting there anyway....

Jesus Christ came so you might have Life, and LIFE... MORE abundant... Why not believe the impossible is possible?????

The men were lepers, begging for a living... While all the time, there were tents full of wealth just in front of them. Waiting for them to reach out and take.. A chance to become somebody important with a message of hope for others..... Think of it for a while (Selah)

Is it Really GOD? What i'm about to do....

2007-07-08T10:03:00.000-07:00

I was preparing for an oversea's ministry trip, with my bible school classmates. One of the questions that was asked of me, "Do you have the Witness of the Holy Spirit?" brought me to reality. My reply, didn't satisfy the person's asking the question.... "well, my teacher said i should go on this trip." So, they asked again, the same question... and my reply, "No! I don't." Ended the conversation and i was scratched from the trip.

I thought it was a good Christian thing to do, to grab every opportunity to preach and teach, but that day i learned a very valuable lesson. The Holy Spirit hadn't born witness in my spirit that it was His Will, nor His desire, that i go to Africa. In fact, i've yet to be on that continent to this day.

It was His will, that i go to Asia, so i've been there more than 28 times... hmmm and you... has the Spirit born witness in your spirit where you are? Jobs, schools, missions, vacations.. it would just be better for our lives if we follow His plans and purposes. We will be happier and those around us will be happier.

Of course, we all know of Jonas, who went the opposite way in life. What a storm he encountered, and all those around him suffered as well, until he told them to throw him out, and then had to trust the Lord to rescue him. And yet, his life ministry was successful! At least he wound up where he was supposed to go.. hehe..

Have a Blessed day today! Follow the Spirit!

Early morning

2007-04-14T04:14:00.000-07:00

Isa 50:4-54 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.5 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned(KJV)

I think of this verse this moring, knowing now why I was waken at 5am... quietly, wishing i could still sleep, but knowing it's purposed that i'm awake. And as it begins to be light outside, I'm more aware of the Light of Christ Himself inside my heart! Oh that wonderful feeling that your body is the temple/tabernacle/dwelling place, where God abides. David had to look to the hills, from whence came his help, but we, born of God, have God living within!

Have you ever just used your faith, and ran inside your own heart to have that encounter with the Spirit of Christ who abides there by your faith? Or have you discovered that you've never invited Him into your heart? I remember the night I did that. It was in 1976. The next morning I noticed that the sky was more blue! The sun was brighter! And the weight of sin was gone from my life! I remember that it was Him that woke me that morning, speaking into my ear, calling me by name! Saying to me, "Remi, open the door of your heart!"

With the door of your heart open, you can see the Kingdom of God. Most people don't look. I had spent 26 years with it closed. Now, I purpose each day to open it to see what ever He wants me to see.

Maybe it's time to stop being rebellious. Did you know that you can't rebel unless you've been taken captive???? Maybe we rebell because we don't know what the yoke is. Maby we don't know that it's a good thing to be yoked to our giftings and let ourself be trained to pull the plow, because then we can earn a living.

Anyway, it's my thoughts this morning. Believing with you for a blessed day..

Barren and Empty... Never Satisfied

2007-04-09T19:24:00.000-07:00

Prov 30:15-1615 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.(KJV)

I've found a sad thing, on this planet. The women who have been robbed of a child, whether through abortions or miscarriages or stillborns, have yet another thing at work in their lives. THey have a womb that is never satisfied, and it never says.. I've had enough. It's a sad thing for those, until they recognize what is taking place in their lives. They long to mother other women's children, to have their cubboards filled with things, and struggle with sex, alcohol and many other vices... never having enough of anything. so dis-satisfied.... always looking, always wanting....

I know that through Christ is there hope for them, in reading that in Christ, the barren will have multitudes of children around their tables. But that, I think that the Love of Christ will flow throuth those women in special ways. They are the ones who fight for an end to abortions, finances to science studies about miscarriages and medical breakthroughs for studies of the root causes of stillborns.

My own mother bore a stillborn. Several years before i was born. I'm the seventh of 16. Actually i would have been the eight.... hmmmm And after that many children, she seems so satisfied in life. Oh, maybe be she wouldn't have that many in our day, but in those days, well, here I am.. hehehe

I have a close friend who had an abortion in a time of her life when things were not going well. She spend years working with church groups for Pro-Life. Encouraging young women who were pregnant to have their children. To have the courage to try to make it in life even if they are in the time of trouble. She says that so many of the young just feared what their parents would say, or how they would ever be able to care for a child. Fear.... that thief.... the stealer of lives.. Today, that woman seems satisfied in life. You see, she filled that barren, empty place of her heart with the love of Christ, and gave to those in need, out of that love. She knew what she had lacked, and was able to give it to others.

Why am i writing of this today? Because someone reading this needs to know, that in Christ Jesus there's forgiveness, and enough love to fill your void barren heart, and then to raise you up and use you in a mighty way in this world. You are important to God! But in the world, and it's ways, you will not find enough to fill the empty place. Only through God's Love and in giving love will you be fulfulled in this life.....If i could, I'd give you the biggest father's hug you ever had... just to show you love... real love... that doesn't judge or look down on you. A hug that recognizes that you are really somebody and have a Great destiny ahead of you.

My prayer tonight, in closing, is that God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, will find the way to make His presence known to you through His Holy Spririt!..... and give you the hug that i can just want to give..

HUGGGGGGGssssssss

Fasting... what's it like

2007-04-06T17:46:00.000-07:00

Today, i've been thinking about the times when i went on a long fast. The first, i drank only juices and it lasted for 28 days. Then, i thought i should quit because I was helping a guy build a house and it was getting hard to work a 10 hour day doing that kind of heavy work.

Just thinking of those days, and the benefits i received from them made me think maybe some of you would like to hear about it, in case you're thinking of fasting. For certain, fasting does 'Undo the yokes of bondage'... those things that keep us from success in our life.

SO in the days ahead, you can pray for me that i'll get this all written down on the website so you can read about it... Actually, there's some Great things that happened while I was fasting. And some other stuff.. hmmmm still interested?

Remi... lovin Jesus more each day!

Always a book to write

2007-03-25T19:21:00.000-07:00

One day, while thinking of writing a book about how i quite smoking, i came across scripture. In it, i read, "there is no end to the writing of books".. and it was in a statement about vanity.. How everything was vanity and vexation. So i began to think that maybe i shouldn't write another book. Yeah, people will read it, but still will they find their answer or will they have to go read another book.

We already have the most knowledge filled book in the Universe, the Bible... Why should we need another to explain what is already written so simple.

But then, i realize that people mostly don't have the understanding to read the bible as a simple book. they are alwayz looking for hidden meanings, instead of taking it just for what it says... But in thinking of those things, I read that we over come the devil by the Blood of the Lamb, and the word of our testimony! So.... if i can write and testify of how God worked in my life and show you the scripture to support that work, maybe you too will allow and believe HIM to work in your life.

Have i testified of how my cupboards were filled with food through faith? Have i testified of how i was healed of an infection in my nervous system after 35 years? Have I testified how God took a poor man, and sent me on 27 mission trips to other countries?... hmmmm perhaps in the next few months, i'll share those things with you , that perhaps you will be encouraged to use your faith to believe for those impossible things in your life. Because with God, NOTHING is impossible....

I've seen so many times how God has helped those who could not help themselves, but who continued to believe that God will rescue them from their troubles.. and saw the results. Just like in the bible. Yeah, I've seen those times... that's why i know, that God, MY GOD... the one who rescue me, will come and help you in those dark hours and trying moments.. just don't stop believing that he knows and is coming to you.

And yes, it is all about faith, and love. because faith works only by Love.. that's just how it will work. And the faith that God gave to you.... hmmmm yah.. it will really work.. your faith. It will work. Perhaps it's just you need to learn "how" does it work... some come back and read my blogs when you have a moment. I'll continue to stir your heart.... hehehe

But for this moment, i'm just aware of how much GOD Loves you... my goodness, who else will be willing to give up their own son to be cruxified.. so we can have a life that is good and full of joy.

Still thinking of submitting

2007-03-21T19:30:00.000-07:00

Hmmm it's still on my mind tonight, about submitting.. but i'm not so sure people like this subject. But perhaps there is a great benefit to it, because it's mentioned so many times in the bible.. Read this: 1 Pet 5:55 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.(KJV)

Perhaps there is value in submitting to your friends.. especially you younger ones. Most of the time, the younger are only concerned for the welfare of their friends and can see when you are going astray. I think it will be best to really consider what your friends are saying. Even if it pricks your conscience. Isn't that what Christ said to Saul on his trip to Damascus.. "Saul, Saul, why do you kick against the pricks. Saul's conscience was bothering him, but yet in his mind, he was determined he was right, even when he was wrong.. hmmmm

Sometimes, i try to warn others, of things in their lives that are not right, but they keep insisting they are ok. or they will hide those things from others. Yet, God, in His Mercy, has sent a warning. I think it will be better in our live if we listen. Even if it's hard on us.. to admit, the other could be right.

I think the Spirit of GOD really wants to help us get in the right place in life in this planet, if we will listen to those around us. It would save a lot of agony.

Many years ago, I spoke a word of the Lord to a young lady who was planning to marry. "that man you think is to be your husband is the wrong one. The Lord says don't do it." But that lady ignored the Word given to her. In two years, she was beaten, abused, and finally she divorse the man. God was trying to save her all that heartache. It was so sad to see it all happen..

So let's try to take God's advice, and do a little submitting to those around you who are friends.... It could save a lot of heartache.. and you.. you should be honest to your friends if you think something is wrong.. even if you don't want to say it... just be bold. It may save them some heartache if they will listen.. you can still be friends..

Remi..keep your peace in believing in Christ!

Submitting yourself

2007-03-18T18:30:00.000-07:00

Oh, what a word.. hmmm and it's such a word that we really don't like.. submit.. But, in 1 Peter 2:13, we are told to sumit ourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.. and the it continues.. here's the good part... "For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; as free, and not using our liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.. wow..

Well, really, then it's God's will that by our doing good, we will avoid punishment for doing evil. Oh, just like a father, always finding ways to protect His children. Sometimes, i'd rather just take my money and go to the casino and play all night. Gambling away all i earn. But then, i find another part of me not wanting to give my hard earned money to some peoples just so they can sit in nice houses while i sit in a shack.

So, to find something good to do, i've found some eager students, willing to spend a few years submitting to their teachers in college, and i give to them. And trust God to watch over them and keep them in their studies when they too are tempted to do some evil.... cause we're really all the same. We have good desires and some evil desires and there's a war going on in our flesh all the day long. The students as well as myself have the problems in this world.

"for this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.. yeah. sometimes i'm persecuted for what i do with my extra money, but i'll endure it, cause i know that it's changing lives and affecting those who are just beginning. I'll get my thanks from the Lord cause i know it's my reward coming, my harvest on the seeds i've sown..

And it's my hope, that those i've helped will one day help others, as well as that the Lord will add to my ability to help others and entrust me with more for my future plans. These dreams i've acted upon now, where in my heart 40 years ago when i'm just in Vocational-Technical school studying hard and dreaming of my future.. and now it's come to pass..

Oh yeah, i've been punished by the law when i broke the law, and i found mercy when i'm repenting from those things.... and yet, the God of Mercy has helped me all those years..... to He can bless people through my life... won't you give him a chance with you??? Because in your heart, there is sooooo much desire to do good.. and dreams... yet to be fulfilled.

"for he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile: let him eschew (run from) evil and do good; let him seek peace and ensue it.. Blessings in your day today and alwayz

Don't give me the sweet talk.. give me reality

2007-03-11T16:02:00.000-07:00

Oh, that Jeramiah.. what a prophet.. in chapter 6 he's talking God-Talk.. hehe wow.. "what's your purpose in bringing me all that sweet stuff.. i'm not fooled by it, nor am is my mind changed by it... all the sugar you put in your prayer... hmmmm I'd rather you change your ways, bear fruit of Righteousness... care for the widows and strangers... stop stealing from them.. you say you're a christian.. you go to church.. but you still steal from my people.... with your deceptive practices... don't you know i see from heaven... even my prophets can see what you're doing.. and the worst is, that you trust in your own lying words.. wow.. you can't even see they don't profit you anything...

ohh you say your rosary's,, and some nice prayers.. but then you steal from those i sent to help you.. the ones i require to speack truth to you.. you don't even see that the thief is already working in your own life, and soon he will come and steal all you have... and you don't even see it yet.. why don't you wake up to your own sin.... let your own heart become convicted with the wrong you are doing..

*** ohh mgosh.. that's what is pouring in my heart today.. while i'm sitting here at my computer.. I was just playing.. spending time at games and resting on the Lord's day... then these thoughts come to me while i read...... some food for thought today..

Oldhart.. maybe i'll spend a little time examining my own life.. and where it's going.. because i really want to pruduce more of the fruits of righteousness.. and i need all His Power and Person to get that done in my life..

but above all, remember, ...... Jesus has such Great Love for all of us... ... to be made sin.. that we might be made righteous.... that... my friend... is real love..

Arise from your slumber

2007-03-07T13:23:00.000-08:00

Prov 24:33-3433 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:34 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.(KJV)

It's so easy to stop pressing forward.. whether we just tire of the race, or loose our focus.. Perhaps it's just that we see too many needs we can't meet.. whatever the cause, soon we're sleeping or just slumbering, and we begin to loose focus.. and soon we begin to make the wrong decisions. Then we have problems with finances.. lack, want.. need.. wow.. it just keeps coming.. until we're not willing to press towards the mark any more..

We stop calling those things which be not as though they were.. and we begin calling those things as though they are.... not enough money.. sickness, struggles.. and we realize one day that we stopped believing that Jesus MADE us RICH... because we're looking at our need, not His Supply..

Then we only look at what we don't have.. the seed to sow, the harvest to reap.. and we forget the Master and Redeemer, who has said, "You will reap where you did not sow!"....

Today i'm stirred inside... because somebody reading this is got a MIRACLE coming to your house!.... You got a BLessings Breaking through to you from God, who has MADE you Rich!..
better just enjoy it...

In His Grace, and Loving it...
