MOTHERS'  DAY  2013

"MY SON...FORSAKE NOT THE LAW OF THY MOTHER."
Proverbs 1:8

Sunday is Mother's Day for many people. In Christ, everyday is a day to love, honor and thank our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc.
Women who have helped to form our lives through their love and care.
We see the testimony throughout the Bible of godly mothers who influenced great men and women in history.

It has been said that if a child has a godly Christian mother, that child will grow into a godly adult into old age...

Train up a little child and when he is old, he will not depart from the teachings.

For Thought... "Men are what their mother make them..."  Emerson

Susannah Wesley, for example, spent one hour each day praying for her 17 children. In addition, she took each child aside for a full hour every week to discuss spiritual matters.

No wonder her sons, Charles and John, were used of God to bring blessings to all of England and much of America.

Here are a few rules she followed in training her children:

1. Subdue self-will in a child and thus work together with God to save his soul.

2. Teach him to pray as soon as he can speak. Teach the Word of God...not just "worldly rules"

3. Give him nothing he cries for and only what is good for him if he asks for it politely.

4. To prevent lying, punish no fault which is freely confessed, but never allow a rebellious, sinful act to go unnoticed.

5. Commend and reward good behavior.

6. Strictly observe all promises you have made to your child.

Let us honor our godly mothers, not only with words of praise, but with our lives that reflect the impact of their holy influence!
PSALM 139 declares that GOD watches over the child in the mother's womb....GOD "knows us" even before we are conceived! 
We were planned in His Heart of Agape Love!

REJOICE in the HAND of GOD in our lives!

IDLE WORDS  &  IDOL WORDS

PROPHECY for THE BODY of CHRIST

"EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF MEN SHALL BE JUDGED AND SHALL PRODUCE EITHER A BLESSING OR A CURSE...NOT ONE SHALL ESCAPE THE JUDGMENT...

I SHALL BRING EVERY WORD BACK TO INDICT THOSE WHO FLUNG THE WORDS INTO THE AIR...

IDLE WORDS...THOSE WORDS AS CARELESS AND THOUGHTLESS SINFUL SEEDS...

AND THE IDOL WORDS...SPOKEN WITH PRIDE AND ARROGANCE AS A TESTIMONY TO THEIR OUR PERVERTED HEARTS AND LIVES...BRINGING ATTENTION AND ADORATION TO  EXALT THEMSELVES...

TIMINGS AND MOTIVATIONS FROM THE IDLE WORDS and IDOL WORDS OF THE WORLD WILL INCREASE AND BECOME THE VERY THING TO INDICT THE EVIL AND GUILTY ONES. 

AS IN A COURTROOM, THEIR IDLE WORDS and IDOL WORDS SHALL STAND AND CONVICT THEM.

THE WORLD HAS  ITS OWN EVIL TIMINGS, DARK MOTIVATIONS WITH THE IDLE WORDS and IDOL WORDS...

 BEARING AND PRODUCING THE TROUBLES FOR THE WORLD TO EXPERIENCE AND REEL UNDER...TRIALS OF TERROR FROM THE MIND AND MOUTH OF EVIL  ITSELF!

STAY COURAGEOUS, FREE AND PEACEFUL  AS MY CHILDREN OF TRUTH AND LIGHT.

DO NOT ALLOW THE MESSAGES FLYING IN THE AIR TO UNSETTLE YOU AND CREATE ITS DEADLY FRUIT OF FEAR WITHIN YOU.

I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL

NONE OF THIS EVIL AND TERROR IS FOR YOU!

YOUR LIFE IS HIDDEN IN ME.    

YOU ARE MY VERY OWN TREASURE.

YOU ARE MARKED WITH THE  BLOOD OF THE LAMB.

MY WORD SHALL SURROUND YOU AS YOU GUARD YOUR HEART OF FAITH IN ME. 

THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL WILL ONLY PRODUCE DEATH AND DARKNESS.

I ALONE BRING LIFE AND LIGHT!   

I ALONE CAN KEEP THOSE WHO ARE MINE!

CLING TO MY WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU.  

ALLOW ME TO BRING YOU TO A HIGHER PLACE WHERE THE VERY AIR IS SECURE.

RISE UP WITH MY SPIRIT AND RECEIVE YOUR PORTION OF JOY EACH DAY AND NIGHT, 

KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT  YOU BELONG TO ME.

MY WORD WILL TRAIN YOU TO IGNORE THE  IDLE WORDS and THE IDOL WORDS FLYING IN THE AIR.

Turn a deaf ear to keep your heart from being polluted and grieved.

Set your focus and heart upon Me.

I alone can give the peace and security you need.

Come away from those speaking the IDLE WORDS and IDOL WORDS.

CHOOSE TO HEAR ONLY MY VOICE...AND THE WORDS OF MY ABUNDANT LIFE."

IT IS FINISHED

"IT IS FINISHED"

(from the "RAINBOW RIDER" ALBUM... Gerri Merrick)

"HE GAVE HIS LIFE, SO I COULD LIVE
HE GAVE ME WEALTH, SO I COULD GIVE
HIS HANDS WERE NAILED TO SET ME FREE
GAVE ME FAITH, NOW I BELIEVE

HE TOOK MY SINS TO MAKE ME CLEAN
HE CRIED MY TEARS TO GIVE ME PEACE
HE BORE MY SICKNESS IN DESPAIR
GAVE ME LOVE, SO I COULD CARE

CHORUS:
IT IS FINISHED....THE PRICE IS PAID
FINISHED FOR ETERNITY
IT IS FINISHED...THE PRICE IS PAID
PAID FOR YOU...PAID FOR ME

HE SHED HIS BLOOD TO MELT MY CHAINS
HE SUFFERED THIRST AND DARKEST PAINS
HE OFFERED ME HIS GOLDEN CROWN
WHILE WEARING THORNS, HIS BLOOD FLOWED DOWN

HE TOOK MY PLACE UPON THE CROSS
HE GAVE ME GAIN...HE SUFFERED LOSS
BECAME CAST DOWN FOR MY DIGNITY
PREPARED MY PLACE IN ETERNITY

CHORUS:
IT IS FINISHED...THE PRICE IS PAID
FINISHED FOR ETERNITY
IT IS FINISHED...THE PRICE IS PAID
PAID FOR YOU...PAID FOR ME"

LET ME BE YOUR LIFE!

PROPHECY:  "LET ME BE YOUR LIFE!'

"Do not let your peace be shattered.

Do not let your faith be pierced.

Do not let your confidence be stolen.

Do not let your assurance be drained away.

You are mine...My children,

My people, the salt and light upon the earth.

You are the witnesses to My Truth.

You carry My love within you,

as a testimony of My Faithfulness.

Stay covered under My wings for shelter.

Live in the high tower and fortress of My love and power.

These are hard and trying times in all the nations.

but I tell you that terrible times are coming...

they are even on the horizon.

Times that will be a terror for those of the world...

who have chosen to put their trust and set  their love

upon the false security of the things of the world...

the riches and dull glitter of the world.

They shall not stand.
Many shall not survive.

Men will shake and drop to their knees in terror

and fear as their foundations crumble under them

as in an earthquake.

Many hearts shall stop. Many shall choose death to try

and escape from the things that used to give them pleasure.

I AM THAT I AM.

I shall never change. 

Those who choose life and blessings are the ones who choose ME.

The nations shall continue to fester and boil.

No one will have an answer  to stop the destruction.

Only turning to Me can be found safety and relief.

The birth pangs have begun...those with My Spirit

shall know what to do, where to go and when to go.

My Kingdom is not of this world.
On the very last day on the earth, I stated this truth to one who was of the world.

I have made the seeking of my Kingdom a first priority.

I have said that it is the Father's good pleasure to give you 

the Kingdom...righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The depth of the oceans is not concerned

with the waves crashing upon the shore far above.

Even hard rain is not noticed in the deep of the seas.

Do not let yourself be troubled.

Do not let yourself be afraid.

Let the focus of your life be ME!

Let the peace only I can bring cause quiet strength

and steadiness.

You will look and see...but do not let the things

of this world unsettle your heart and mind and soul.

I AM all that you need.

I AM your total life.and delight.

Nothing shall unsettle you as you stay 

fixed in your faith in ME.

Like a young eagle high on a ledge with his parent...

you shall only "watch the valley below..."

Stay close to ME...your Shepherd Savior.

Stay peaceful in ME...your Faithful Father.

Stay safe and joyful in ME...your Creator King."
