Ten Guidelines From God

Effective Immediately,
please be aware that there are changes YOU need
to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be
completed in order that I may fulfill My promises
to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in
this life. I apologize for any inconvenience,
but after all that I am doing, this seems very
little to ask of you. Please, follow
these 10 guidelines


1. QUIT WORRYING:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit
and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here
to take all your burdens and carry them for you?
Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little
thing that comes your way?


2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it
on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY
to-do-list Let ME be the one to take care
of the problem. I can't help you until you turn
it over to Me. And although My to-do-list
is long, I am after all... God. I can take care
of anything you put into My hands. In fact,
if the truth were ever really known, I take
care of a lot of things for you that you never
even realize.


3. TRUST ME:
Once you've given your burdens to Me,
quit trying to take them back. Trust in
Me.. Have the faith that I will take care of
all your needs, your problems and your trials.
Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
Problem with finances? Put it on My list.
Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For My sake, put it on My list.. I want to
help you. All you have to do is ask.



4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don't wake up one morning and say,
"Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think
I can handle it from here." Why do you think
you are feeling stronger now? It's simple.
You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking
care of them. I also renew your strength
and cover you in my peace. Don't you
know that if I give you these problems back,
you will be right back where you started?
Leave them with Me and forget about
them. Just let Me do my job.



5. TALK TO ME:
I want you to forget a lot of things.
Forget what was making you crazy.
Forget the worry and the fretting because
you know I'm in control. But there's one
thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't
forget to talk to Me - OFTEN! I love YOU!
I want to hear your voice. I want you to
include Me in on the things going on in your life.
I want to hear you talk about your friends
and family. Prayer is simply you having
a conversation with Me. I want to be your
dearest friend.



6. HAVE FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up here that you
can't see from where you are. Have faith in
Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me;
you wouldn't want the view from My eyes.
I will continue to care for you, watch over you,
and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me.
Although I have a much bigger task than you,
it seems as if you have so much trouble just
doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?


7. SHARE:
You were taught to share when you were
only two years old. When did you forget?
That rule still applies. Share with those who are
less fortunate than you. Share your joy with
those who need encouragement. Share your
laughter with those who haven't heard any in
such a long time. Share your tears with those
who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith
with those who have none.



8. BE PATIENT:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime
you could have so many diverse experiences.
You grow from a child to an adult, have children,
change jobs many times, learn many trades,
travel to so many places, meet thousands
of people, and experience so much. How can
you be so impatient then when it takes Me
a little longer than you expect to handle
something on My to-do-list? Trust in My
timing, for My timing is perfect. Just
because I created the entire universe in
only six days, everyone thinks I should
always rush, rush, rush.



9.. BE KIND:
Be kind to others, for I love them just
as much as I love you. They may not dress
like you, or talk like you, or live the same way
you do, but I still love you all. Please try
to get along, for My sake. I created each
of you different in some way. It would be
too boring if you were all identical.
Please, know I love each of your differences.


10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can you not
love yourself? You were created by me for
one reason only -- to be loved, and to love
in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me.
Love your neighbors. But also love yourself.
It makes My heart ache when I see you
so angry with yourself when things go
wrong. You are very precious to me.
Don't ever forget that.

            &nb sp;                    Penetration
This is a message that God has given me. There are two messages, this is one of them. We hear the word every day. Penetration! I kept hearing this word this week, and I begin to ponder on what God was trying to show me. Our hearts and our minds need to be PENETRATED with the word of God. If we PENETRATE our minds and hearts with the word of God, if we allow the word to (PENETRATE: BREAK THROUGH)  then we will be pliable in the hands of God. God once told me, you must have a pliable heart, one that I can mold and shape  and stretch and pull, to meet the goals that I have set aside for it. I am not talking about the natural heart here, but the spiritual heart. Not everyone will get this. Only those led by the Spirit! You must allow your heart and mind to be PENETRATED by the word of God, the Spirit of God. If you allow your mind and heart to be PENETRATED with evil, anger, lust, malice, etc. THOSE THINGS WILL BE WHAT MOLDS YOUR HEART AND MIND< AND YOUR BODY WILL FOLLOW! EVERY SIN BEGINS WITH A THOUGHT!!! We think upon something, and then it PENETRATES our thought process, drops into our spirit, our hearts, and we act accordingly!  The word PENETRATION means to BREAK THROUGH! A lot of us need to PENETRATE!!! Break through all the mess, and the troubles, the trials, the guilt, the sin, the habits, BREAK THROUGH and BREAK AWAY! PENETRATE!!!  I bet I can take a needle and PENETRATE your skin and get your attention real quick. We HAVE to let God's word, PENETRATE our hearts and minds and GET OUR ATTENTION QUICKLY! Time is running out, no more time for pricking (breaking the surface, playing church, etc) we must PENETRATE, (break through)!!! Break through to true worship, break through to the  true God, the true Holy Ghost, we must PENETRATE through and allow PENETRATION through us!!! The word must PENETRATE and cause us to PENETRATE others with the love and hope of God!!! Share this with your friends. God Bless> 
 
 1 John 4:20...If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother (anyone) whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?
 
Is there hatred in your heart towards anyone? Then you MUST get rid of it, learn to love them, or you CANNOT love God, because God is LOVE!!!

 Seeking The Heart And Face
So many times we ask God for things, and so many times God answers. Sometimes not the way we want to hear it, but nonetheless, He always answers.  God loves to give good gifts to His children, but you know what God really wants? Is for us to KNOW HIM!!!  How do you get to know someone? Let me set an example. If we just seek the HAND of God, then we will  not even know Him when He does move, or when we see Him. You may say that is absurd. Allow me to show you HOW you begin to KNOW God, or anyone for that matter. Lets say that you and I work in a company together. There are borders (cubicles) between us, and we have never seen one anothers face, only our hands are extended at the ends of our tables, and that is all we can see of one another. Let's say we are not allowed to talk, only work. Keep in mind, all we can see is each others HANDS! We may even pass one another parts from around our cubicle, using our hands.  We never see one anothers face. Now if I saw you in a grocery store, or shopping mall, I would  not know you, nor you I.  Because I haven't saw your face, and that is how we recognize one another, by the face. If I see your face and usually it only takes one  time, and I would recognize your face if I saw you again. And the more I saw you, the more I would know you, notice features, and learn you. It is the same with God . We can't literally see His face, but we seek His face, (meaning we take time to learn  who He is, His character, His features, until He is no longer a stranger, and we KNOW Him, instead of just knowing what He can do!) Now to seek the heart...When you find someone you like, you look at them, talk to them, and you begin dating, etc. and you learn each others likes, dislikes, you learn what touches their hearts, and you begin to love them, and want to please them, because you have searched  their hearts and become to love them. It is the same with God. We seek His heart, to know the things that are pleasing to Him, how we can please Him, how we can do things that He approves of, and how we learn about His love, is through His heart. If we only seek the HAND of God, then we are robbing ourselves and God, because we are not allowing Him to be who He is in us, and we can't know Him, because we just expect Him to hand everything to us, therefore our faith cannot be built up that way. You want to touch the heart of God, see His FACE and HEART, not just His HAND!!! God Bless, share this with your friends!!!

1 John 4:20...If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother (anyone) whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

Begging For Mercy

Many times Lord, I fail to do things your way
And many times Lord, this old heart tried to stray
Many times Lord, my head goes down in despair
And many times Lord, I've wondered if you even cared
My heart seemed prone to betraying me
So, here I am Lord...Begging For Mercy!!!

Cho: O, just one drop of your mercy Lord, gives me strength to go on
Just one drop of your mercy Lord, when I'm weak, it makes me strong
There's never a time, you fail Lord to forgive me
So here I am Lord again...Begging For Mercy!!!

I've stood Lord, in rage, at unrequited fears
And I've grown tired Lord, of all the empty tears
I've even thought at times Lord, I'd be no more
As I stood in my own defeat, battle scarred and sore
At times Lord, it seemed that you'd forgotten me
So here I am Lord...Begging For Mercy!!!

Tag: Yes, there were times Lord, when it seemed like you'd forgotten me
So, here I am Lord...Begging For Mercy!!!

Here is a poem I wrote for my sister, Shelia Ann, who passed away last year March 11th, 2006, 4 days before her 44th birthday. I sure miss her, you all pray that I will heal, and I have a lot, but her and I were extremely close, and she has had a horrible life. I wish she was still here, but I know she is with Jesus now and wouldn't ever wanna come back here,and I wouldn't wanna take her from there. My sister loved Butterflies and Roses so I wrote this poem, Fly Away Beautiful Butterfly. She is that beautiful butterfly. Let me know what ya think.
