Infinity

The love I have, it's stored somewhere
I know it is, for I feel it there,
Yet so big it is, the love I feel
That a container for it can't be real.

There's no end to where it goes,
Or how gentle that it flows.
There is no requirement for it to be had,
It is just what makes my heart so glad.

Though sometimes it's not returned,
It's my love that never gets burned,
For love is gentle, soft and free,
Something hurts could never empty.

Take my love with you through life,
Knowing I'm here, through all of your strife,
Keep it close, you may need it sometime,
It's yours forever, for all of time.

One day I'll be gone, no longer around,
But my love around you, it will surround,
That's the beauty of God you see,
He is love, and He bonds you to me.

Keep God close at all times through,
And I'll be with Him right there with you,
God is love, such beauty and grace,
In Him is our special hiding place.

When I am gone and you miss me,
Know I'm happy with Him and free,
Love Him more than you did before,
As I watch down on you, those I adore.

Gods Words Are Preserved!

Many will say that God's word is not true and not right or has been tampered with and because it's written by man, which it is, but through God through using the Holy Spirit, they deny it's power! But God promised to preserve it, and THAT He has! He knew what would happen before it did happen, He preserved it as only almighty Elohim could!

Psalm 12:6-7  “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.” KJV

PSALM 119:160 -- “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.”

One of my faves ...
ISAIAH 40:8 -- “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”

How BLESSED we are, to have His Word to be able to rely upon in all and through all times!  It's been saving and changing people for so long, it actually proves itself! Hallelujah!

Ticks and Tocks

Ticks and Tocks

O, the bond I wish it was there,
The one I've had, because I care,
To help and guide as only I can,
Even more so, than a very best friend.

Days will pass, so fast you'll see,
Thinking you can always turn to me,
Opportunity lost, without any intent,
As life gets lived and time is spent.

No one is promised, yet another day,
Even THIS moment could be taken away.
It's sad to look back at ticks and tocks, That zoomed by so fast on life's clocks.

I promise this, to all that I truly do love,
True love it comes, only from God above,
His grace we need each day, all the more,
Only you must seek it, it can't be stored.

Just the same, seek those who love you,
They need and want that, they really do,
Because tocks are few and ticks go away,
Until you're left wanting them more one day.

Don't waste a second, they expire so fast,
Let hurts go, put them far into the past,
For life's truly short, you will soon see,
That one missing you is always named "ME"
~ Bekkah 4/2015

Dedicated to my kids my husband and all dear souls that I love! ❤

Love God, Love Others

Love

We will never be perfect humans, only when we are changed into our new bodies will we be perfect. As much as we would like to be perfect, the best we can do is absorb the Holy Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to change us as we willingly trust Him and obey His commands.

There are so many people that think that loving other people is hard. In my personal opinion, the only way this is hard is if you cannot part with one or both of these two things. Time or money.

Loving others takes some kind of sacrifice. If you have an eager heart to love others, it may take more for it to 'feel' like a sacrifice, but the truth is, you must give up something to love others. Time itself can be even more valuable than money, so don't let your finances hold you back from loving others. And don't let tithing make you feel like you're doing all you can to show love.

One of the most easy ways to show love to others is just to smile and talk to them. In our fast paced world of techno involved people,  how many of you can honestly say you take time to say hi to strangers, or even exchange a smile? I bet you'll be surprised at your own revelation.

I don't know of many people nowadays that isn't going through their own type of trials. Whether you believe in God or not, He wants you to love Him first, and people next. These people need our love, and more than that, they need HIS love!

You may think that you don't have time or you may be the shy type, but you don't have to do anything at all except allow the Holy Spirit to do it through you! The facts are,  you can't do anything without Christ! It isn't YOU that is loving the people, it is God using you as His love tool in order to reach others! I can't figure a better purpose for my life!

The next time you're out and about, just try to smile and say hi to as many people as you can. If you find it difficult, ask God for the strength to do it. He will help you, I promise! Ask and ye shall receive! He will give anyone that asks the ability!

Pretty soon that will become easy and saying hi to people will not be enough for you. Pretty soon you'll need to find out more about the people you're talking to. This is what humans are meant to do, love one another.

As you find yourself more comfortable talking to people that you don't know, share your love about God with them. It is becoming more and more important that people hear how loving God is. So many don't even know how loving He is! This is where we can change that by sharing how He loves us with them!

What I have found is, God's blessings are never one sided. I can set out to bless someone else without even wanting anything, which is the TRUE way to bless someone, but our Loving Father ALWAYS blesses me in return. This is not why we should bless others, it is a gift that He gives for loving His children. He truly is an amazingly loving God, and He's asking for our help to love others.

If you're super shy, use the first week to start to notice people that need love, and say a short prayer for them. This is love. As you go along, the Holy Spirit may even tell you a way you can help them feel better. Start somewhere today, and I promise you'll experience God's love in such an amazing way, you'll become addicted to the feeling of loving for God. And THAT'S THE BEST thing to get addicted to next to being in love WITH God, imho 😃

Before you go out, ask God to help you be a blessing to anyone that He wants you to bless, and to help you because you know that without Him, you can't do it.
John 15:5 KJV
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Then decide in your mind that no matter how you may feel, scared, weird or strange, through Christ's help you can do ANYTHING!
Philippians 4:13 KJV
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Remember that when you ask for God's help, He will give it and I know you'll be blessed each time you make someone smile. It will also encourage you.
Matthew 7:7-8 KJV
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Also, if you're shy, remember that through Christ, you are MORE than a conqueror and if you can do spiritual battle for the Lord through Christ, you can love others with ease!  It will build your strength and faith and make you feel God's love and peace in your own heart.
Romans 8:37 KJV
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Go on out there and let your light shine among the people, you may just help God bring someone to the Kingdom for eternal life! 👼🌎🌏🌍💖 the whole WORLD needs His love! Will YOU be His warrior today?
Tag #LoveInActionProject on Twitter if you want to share how much sharing God's love has made you happy! Encourage other believers!

God bless and keep you all!

Testimony

Recently Shared Testimony

I recently shared this testimony on another blog, but thought I'd add it to my blog as well. I pray it blesses you!

Baby "A" & Baby "B"

Hi, all!  I have a lot of testimonies but one of my favorite is of my twin grandsons. My daughter already had a 5 year old daughter, and so getting pregnant again wasn't quite the plan, lol.
Due to some issues that need to stay private, the health of the babies and my daughter was on the rocky side, but we all believed God would make it happen in His own beautiful way, no matter what. We accepted nothing less than a miracle, yet handed the situation to God knowing things could turn out hard on our hearts.
Around that time I had been trying to get my daughter and her fiance to come to church and they started and loved it. Her fiance had a hunger for reading the Word like I've never seen in someone else, and God showed him the verse we were to pray over the the twins. 1 Samuel 1:27 was the scripture and it was perfect. We prayed, the whole family, the church, friends, and anyone that would let me beg to do it lol.
Times were not easy but God let us know He was there through it all. There were a few false labor scares, but even the doctors said that the way they were conceived, and the fact of the type of identical twins they were, was an act of God! I never knew a doctor to speak of God so freely! I think that is one of the blessings God gave me, at least to keep such strong peace and faith.
My daughter grew and grew! My heart ached at how hard it must have been for her to go through that, knowing what I went through bearing only one at a time! She was SO determined to try to have them naturally, I of course called her crazy, haha, but supported her decision, reluctantly. I stood to lose 3 loved ones at this point, yet I did not think of it but one time.
She was 4 or 5 weeks away from full term when she had to have an emergency c-section. We waited so anxiously to find out what was going on. My sister Grandma, as we fondly call each other, also known as Nana, and her daughter, and I all waited as patient as we could. You see, baby 'A' decided to try and wave to the docs and his elbow started to come through her cervix. There was no natural birth possible.
After what seemed like days, we saw them cart baby 'B' directly to the NICU due to minor breathing problems but he was healthy otherwise at first glance, praise God! We prayed all was well as it looked and got better fast!
On her way to the NICU, the nurse was kind enough to let us have a peek at this handsome baby! He was so tiny! Only 4lbs. But we were so grateful to see him! AND hear him, praise God he was crying! Loudly lol!
We waited and waited to find out about baby 'A', it took a bit but finally we got to go see him. He was born at 4lbs 1oz, and they are truly identical aside from 1oz. It was so amazing the church, loved ones, family members and friends all had prayed, but our Father delivered 2 perfectly beautiful blessings!
Because of the health issue not mentioned, baby 'A' shortly had to go to the NICU as well, just after being able to meet his parents, sister and great grandmother, both grandmothers and an aunt.
With the millions of things that could have gone wrong, the twins only spent 1 week in the hospital, and though my daughter wanted to breast feed, their tiny size prevented that, but they overcame all physical challenges they faced, and went home a week later on the dot.
When I think of all of the blessings shown to us just in their lives it brings tears to my eyes. They are nearing a year and a half old, and you would never know they were preemies. They are so smart and silly and God is so good!
Had He decided to take them Home, He still would be good, of course, but unwavering faith truly does speak loudly. I never doubted that no matter the outcome, God was there. And He still is!

The details left out are so immense, but I will tell you every one speaks louder of the amazing love God has for us all, if we would only believe Him! Fittingly enough, big sis' name is Grace, in which we have been given so much of by God, and I pray this encourages you to believe God's love is real! I know it and think of it everyday! 
Lastly, I would like to add that the twins despite minor problens, only spent 2 weeks in the NICU when they could have had many more problems! Glory to God they are doing fantastic!

Why The KJV?

Why use only the KJV of the Bible?

My intention of writing this blog is not necessarily to change your mind of the version that you use. However, if you are using the NIV version of the Bible, I do in fact hope that you will at least do your own research into the validity, or as I have found, how invalid it is. (Along with other new versions.)

I am not going to make this blog a super lengthly one, as we all are to test everything on our own walk with Christ. I am just offering the question in your mind, is what you're reading, actually the truly inspired Word of God?

2 Timothy 3:16 says that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Verse 17 says that this is so the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works.

Romans 15:5,6 tells us, now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

47 scholars most of which came from the Church of England worked on the King James Version of the Bible. They did not want one person translating the Bible and having a single person's biased view. They wanted to make sure that the Holy Spirit was what was working through them to make the translation pure and what God wanted His people to read.

It took many years, and many lives for the King James Bible to be translated into a language that we may freely read on a daily basis. We are honored beyond what we can understand to have this version in our hands and at our side anytime that we want. Before the King James Version people that did not know Greek or Arabic or Hebrew could not just get their Bibles out and read and be edified by God's Word. They had to go to synagogues and learn from other people.

We are more blessed than we can even understand at times. Many people lost their lives so that we can hold Bibles in our hands, so many times in the spirit of taking advantage of the privilege. I praise and thank God that we have the Holy Spirit to help guide us through the Bible and also the fact that we have the Bible to teach us His ways and how to live a holy life in order to please Him and live in eternity with Him when He returns.

If we are all reading different translations, that change words to supposedly make it sound easier, how are we to become one in mind and spirit in the gospel? We cannot become one if we are believing different things. As you will find in your walk as you change one word it changes the whole meaning of a parable or a whole meaning of a text. One of the things the NIV changes is that Christ blood isn't what gives us the redeeming forgiveness of our sins, it totally takes that phrase out of the Bible, and not is not only heresy but disasterous to a new Christian that does not even know anything of the Christian walk and is earnestly trying to learn.

I'm not claiming to know everything, nor do I claim to be better than anyone because I believe that the King James Version is the version that is the true inspired Word of God, however I do care about my brethren enough to share what I believe to be the truth. As I mentioned already it is up to us, each and every one of us, to test the spirits of everything we take into our lives, especially God's Holy Word. It is eternally important.

I believe that God had those scholars come together and unite in the Holy Spirit to give us the King James Version of the bible.

As always, I welcome friendly debate and conversation about things, but I will not argue with others because I stand on peace. We are to walk in love and we are to bear each other's burdens. We are not to argue with each other, and as I already stated we are to be of one mind there is only one Christ that we should speak of, and when there are so many translations that people are reading from, people are believing in different Christs. Satan deceived Eve with the Word, and he tried to deceive Jesus Himself with the Word. What makes us think that he wouldn't try it with us?

How Can One Challenge God?

How Dare We Think We Know Better?

In all of my life, I have never seen so many people challenge what God wrote in the Bible. Yes, God had man write what is in the Bible. But God inspired every word and every placement of each word for our benefit.

I am speaking to Christians of today, which seems to be a falling number as the days go by. People that are willing to believe that Christ died on the cross and rose three days later so that we can be free from the chains that sin had on our life. Chains that we brought into our own lives, He paid for willingly, and that His Word is our Truth to live by. I am not speaking to the people that do not believe in Christ, although I would hope that you would come to know Him and how much He loves you and what He gave for your righteousness that you do not even deserve. He loves you so much that He died for you!

All one has to do is turn on the news, the very biased news at that, and see that we are in very dire times. It is actually dangerous time for Christians. We love Jesus with all of our hearts and yet there are so many Christians that will have the nerve to turn away from what God has given to us as a blessing, His Holy Bible. Even reading what the Bible says about how men will turn away from the truth, they turn away from the very truth that is written before them just so they can coddle their flesh, just so they can have their own way, without even realizing that God has given these instructions for our very own good, for our very own life, for our souls to live forever. Not to die in the Lake of Fire.

I find it all very fascinating actually, I used to wonder how the falling away could actually happen. How could people look away from God knowing that it was going to happen ahead of time? How could this happen? Flesh. Our own desires. Our own greed. If we do not bow down before God and ask and beg and plead for our forgiveness, our lives will come to a very horrible end.

Perhaps the horrible news has something to do with that, perhaps they are afraid to stand up for God, and perhaps they are just a part of the deceiving ways of Satan, the falling away. Whatever the reason may be, just know that if you will stand for God to the end He will lift you up and He will glorify you, and you will live for eternity with Him

This world has become more enticed by the fleshly desires and it has ever in all of time. Our children grow up seeing more nudity than they should have the horror of having to witness. Their innocence is taken before they are even able to be innocent. It breaks my heart for the children today. The sin that fills our lives that they have no control over ruins their chances of having a normal life before it even begins, it breaks my broken heart for them into more bits.

What is wrong with what God has commanded, what is wrong with the love that He has shown, what is wrong with Him warning us of what Satan would trick us with? Nothing! There is nothing wrong with the Bible, it is with our dark heart and our dark desires that are lacking in seeing the love that God has given in the pages of the Bible. Our hearts sees it as harshness, as a lack of fun and excitement. When the truth is that if we would walk within It's walls we would know peace and happiness beyond what we could ever imagine in this world. And then comes the next world! Is it not worth it?! I refuse not to find out!

You cannot call yourself a Christian, and not try to live as the Holy Spirit leads you to live. But you're only fooling yourself if you try. The Holy Spirit would never tell you to live a life contrary to the Bible and what it teaches. The Bible itself tells you that is how you know the false prophets from the true. They will teach you the opposite of what the Bible says. How this plain truth can go past the eyes of people I do not understand other than they have a veil across their eyes. They have a veil of wanting sin across their faces that they refuse to accept the truth of what God has mandated in the Bible as good and evil.

The Bible is clear that man's ways are not God's ways, and though we may not understand that or want to accept that, God only wants the best for us, He created us out of love, and when He returns for us, anything you could have imagined as good on this planet, in this life, means nothing compared to what is to come. If you will only trust Him.

God loves each and everyone of us, though each and every one of us sins. Myself included. Just because we sin, it does not mean that He made us that way. He made us perfect and we allowed sin into our lives, we allow death into our lives, and He gave His only begotten Son to fix that. If you do not accept Christ as your Savior you cannot accept the title Christian, and if you do not accept the title of Christian with a heart of repentance, you are but a mere actor, you are not a Christian. 

Judge what is right and wrong for yourself by the Bible's Words and live as God asks, not as you wish, I'd love to worship Him in Heaven some day alongside you. Judging ppl is His job, and He will be doing it soon. Pray, along with me, to be strong enough to stand for Him on that day.

Those that speak out against sin do not hate you or anyone else, they are trying to save other souls from the grips of the devil. Satan knows his time is short, so those speaking against sin are not speaking against people, they are speaking for people. God bless and keep you all.
