Simply This......

Simply this I am forgiven
Simply I am redeemed by the blood of Jesus
Simply I am a child of God
Simply I am content in my Savior
Simply I am washed white as snow
Simply I am loved, with all my faults, by the only lover I need.....Jesus Christ
Simply I am renewed, restored
Simply I am God's masterpiece
Simply I am totally unique
Simply I am who I am...who God created me to be...whether others approve it doesn't matter, because simply it is God that I desire not the approval of men!


Being simple is realizing only the truth, the truth that God's word declares. Nothing and I mean nothing else really matters because it is eternity that should matter the most to us. So be simple rest in the abundance that simplicity can bring. Don't get caught up in the law, rather learn from it and desire mostly what God wants you to now.

God excepts us just where we are at......

Let's think about that in our Discussion Questions:

1. Have you ever been in a situation where you had to 'go back' to a place of shame or ridicule? How did that make you feel?
I am there right now actually. I have been " going back" to the things I have done so that I may have God's holy healing. And I would say, that I would rather not. Sometimes it is to hard...actually a lot of the time. But I know in order to have complete victory over the things that have been " holding" me down, it is a good step. Not that shame or ridicule is from God, rather it is how I personal feel about some of the things that I have done. But one very special thing that God is teaching me is that 1) shame is not of God it is a feeling we place upon ourselves out of guilt 2) ridicule is not of God either. As the result of others placing ridicule and shame upon us it is there inability to know who they are in Christ, or who others are in Christ. Because if that were the case there would be a lot less shame and ridicule thrown around.

2. Is there any circumstance in your life that still has you running for cover? Share if you feel comfortable.
I would have to say yes to this question. I still have a lot of things to work out in my life. But the one thing I truly know is that changing the way you think is so much harder than loosing a leg. In fact sometimes I have come to believe that the things others say about me is how in turn feel about myself. That I care moreover what others think that what God thinks of me. But I am learning slowly, trusting completely, to the one I love---Jesus Christ

3. When is the last time you felt like an overcomer?
I have been feeling victory in a lot of areas in my life. And actually it started last week when someone I love came over. His first words were, "I want to help you overcome what has been holding you down." So together with his wife we prayed, walked into repentance, prayed for forgiveness, and then the Holy Spirit poured into me so much so it felt so good. I actually felt like I was high---a totally God high----And for the first time in years I can say I have totally overcome that which had been keeping me in bondage.
4. If you have not yet taken the serpent by the tail, are you willing to stop running, take hold and trust God to transform it into a tool for wonders?
Yes, Yes, Yes I am willing, waiting and wanting to take the serpent in my life and completely trust God to use it for many wonders. Oh man getting the chills ladies, yep and this is my prayer for everyone!

5. I would like for you to write down this statement based on 1 John 2:14 somewhere you will see it often this week: "I am strong, the Word of God abides in me, and I have overcome the evil one." Memorize it. Say it over and over until you believe it. Will you do this?? Most of the time, there are no right or wrong answers, but on this one, I'm expecting a 'yes'!

Yes, it is a yes from me : ) yippy skippy feeling so good

Not so Wordless Wednesday

" Start counting your blessings rather than recounting the reasons why you should be miserable." Michael and Debi Pearl

" As the joy of the Lord is the Christian's strength, the joy of the parent is the child's strength." Michael and Debi Pearl

" Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalms 51:12

There are only two paths in life. One leads to life, with God. And the other leads to death, apart from God. Which would you rather? Which one do you find yourself on today. The easy road where things are so " good " or the hard road where things are hard, but life fulfilling?


Being a child of God doesn't mean perfection it means the direction you are following. God knows each heart by name, He knows it all beginning and end. But the choice is ours to make. Doesn't mean that we may not stumble along the way, but it's the getting up and carrying on no matter what is thrown your way. It means standing up to those giants in our lives, conquering them and moving forward for the Glory and Honor of our Lord. Not for personal gain..... thinking we are better than everyone else....nope it's is being humble, merciful, gracious, loving, kind and caring. The character of Jesus....to demonstrate Jesus to those who do not yet know him. That is what we are called to do....1) Decide what road we are going to take 2) then follow it with your whole being 3) Preaching it to the nations. Sounds exciting.......... and the cool thing is is that God forgives us so easily......He makes the choice simple and plain. What an amazing God, what an amazing choice.

Today is a choice day, choose life and live with God. Choose the wide road and it leads to death. Death, Life........Life, Death.......hummm getting a little nervous. IT"S LIFE OR DEATH!
