Prayer Time
Yesterday I was reading in the Holy Bible and came upon:
"Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for he is our GOD and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care".----Psalm 95:6-7
We all have busy lives even if we work from our home with children or have no children at home.....we are caught up in a busy day. By having cell phones a person really does not even get much of a break. I think about the days before all this TECH stuff and how life was less stressful. I don't think all this technology has made things easier but more work upon most.
Jesus loves our prayers...he loves to hear from us with thanksgiving and our needs....to praise and give him glory for who he is and all he has done for us. SO, this scripture laid heavy on my heart........DO WE BOW TO JESUS in prayer? He hears our praises and prayers of course...even if we are sitting or standing.........I pray a lot each day.....but how many times do we get on our knees and bow to him......just to praise him? To bow to him to honor him........Faiths around the world that don't pray to the GOD we serve bow in respect and in their prayers......that is how much they love and believe in their non-existent GOD and yet ours is alive..........I can tell you now I will be on my knees bowing to JESUS more than ever before. He is our master and creator.....he is our life.......he is our friend.....have we taken JESUS for granted that we know he knows we love him yet we don't stop to BOW TO OUR KING........if we were to visit a country with a king you were going to meet you would bow to that king.
Our KING is THE KING. We owe him such respect that we all should bow each day when we go before him. GOD is almighty as you know and if we are saved we love him with all our heart. We can't even fathom God's love for us and JESUS died for us........no one would do that for us........he gives us life forever........Jesus knows I don't disrespect him.........I love him with all my heart but I also adore him and he is my KING and I am going to bow before him like the scripture says...........I do bow for some prayers.....but I am going to bow when I worship him too......GOD is so loving.......he understands we get busy but we should never be too busy to stop and bow to our King.......I hope this will inspire you to bow to our KING if you are not doing so.

My Garbage
When my son was living with me we had a lot of garbage and we would both get tired of taking out the rubbish. Since he has moved two miles away from me to stay at his dad's, I notice that even with just me at home...I am still taking out a lot of garbage. Yesterday, when I was cleaning out my garbage cans in my home, I make the same steps each time I empty. First I clean out the garbage can, add my liner and then place neatly back to its place. When I do my every few days removal, I once again take out my liner of trash and then place in the garbage can outside for my garbage to be picked up weekly. When I enter the home after taking out the trash or rubbish I like to call it, I am reminded that I will never see that garbage again.........that is like when we are sinners and repent to be saved.........JESUS tosses our garbage never to be seen again....and just like our rubbish at home, we toss it out many times during the week and JESUS does he same thing with our sins and mistakes, each time we repent he removes those sins never to be remembered again.......many times though we don't forgive ourselves. God tells us in his HOLY WORD that he makes us clean!
Isaiah 1:18 reads...."Come now, let us argue this out," says the Lord. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool."
Please keep on reading to Isaiah 1:19 also. SO we are FORGIVEN.......all of our trash or rubbish in life....our ill words, our mistakes, etc....... when we confess our sins and believe we are saved...instructions Romans 10:9-13.........so the garbage of our life is NO MORE. We need to repent of course for our daily sins which is why I start my morning prayer first with THE LORD's PRAYER.
I pray that today you will give the Lord your garbage and ask for forgiveness or if you can't forgive yourself I pray that you talk to JESUS today and ask him to remove that burden of guilt. Jesus paid the price for our sins as most of you know.......he is our defense lawyer...when we are charged with something by satan or when we are attacked with sin....he fights for us and what a blessing that GOD is the judge in the courtroom of sin........or being accused by the evil one........JESUS defends and covers us........YOU are white as snow and wool when you are BORN AGAIN by JESUS CHRIST.......so forgive yourself for your past sins and do your best not to sin.........we will never be perfect. Today, I hope you take inventory of your life and discard any mess you have in it. When I say discard........take it to JESUS and he will cleanse you and never remember your rubbish again. Victoria

Isaiah 43:2
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze".
I have this scripture highlighted in my bible in bold pink.......I have beside marked "trouble". This scripture is from God letting us know he will NOT leave us. He has our back and walks beside us at all times. He is our strength and comfort. Our Lord has been trying to get a message to me. I have not read Isaiah 43:2 in a long time.....so JESUS made sure that " I GET IT". How wonderful our Lord works through people and things we read by Christian authors. How he talks to each of us differently.....he is personal to us and knows us....he knows he has to get our attention in different ways because of our personalities. I have always asked JESUS to really let me know something is from him. He understands I don' always get it the first or second time....this time it took four trys but today I GOT IT!
I was invited to a beautiful luncheon at a tea room by my cousin Pam who attends Trinity Church. These ladies have such love and welcomed me as though they had known me for years, which is what we are supposed to do as followers of JESUS CHRIST.....make others feel welcomed. Each person was given a scripture to read.......one lady was reading Isaiah 43:2.......I did not catch the verse or chapter just that the amazing scripture was in Isaiah....when I left I had to find that scripture, I just could not get the verse out of my mind. Then I heard a preacher on tv say the same scripture.........and I did not catch the chapter and verse..........a few days later that scripture was mentioned again...........and today when I was reading a message by Greg Laurie of Harvest Church.........well as you can guess, there was this scripture again. ISAISH 43:2 now I will never forget and as I read it again toady..........I GOT IT. At the luncheon that scripture was for the lady that received the scripture to read.........and of course it is for everyone on planet earth.........but it was also Jesus letting me know, Victoria...I understand your pain right now with your son and your heartache and he wants me to know that he is right with me. JESUS was getting my attention. That verse is for everyone but for me I needed to be reminded that while I am alone in human form he is right with me. While during this situation, even though it is so painful for me..........the great I AM........is with me. What a comfort........it took four trys and I got it..........Praise you JESUS that you never get tired of us.......that you will never stop leading us and that you will never ever give up on us. Praise you LORD FOR ALL YOU DO AND WHO YOU ARE and being there for me/us..........every second..........Everyone is going to go through trouble in their lifetime......as it is written in the Holy Bible........but JESUS has overcome the world...he will fight for you.........you may not think where you are today this scripture applies to you but my friend it does.......and I pray that when you are in the fire or rushing in the waters.......that you will remember this scripture and stand on God's precious promises to you.........and know that when the storm is over....you will have overcome!

Borrowed Offenses
A must read if you have ever been offended. I was watching VTN with Pastor Happy Caldwell just now and Pastor Vic Porter was speaking about his book "Borrowed Offenses". I am so glad I was awake to hear about Pastor Porters Ministry and book. We have to refuse to be offended in JESUS name. Here is the website. He does discuss generational curses also in his book.

The book is $15 with postage paid. I know I will be writing how this book will help me in the near future.

Colonoscopy Praise Report--PRAISE YOU JESUS
Today was my test and I am so glad its over........all looked great but I was told that I have mild Diverticulosis.....I am going to do my part in what I should eat as much as I can and of course will be praying for my total healing in this area while here on earth. Please make sure you are tested. Colon cancer can be prevented. My next test is in 10 years. Make appointment today if you are 50 or have a family history, please have the test if you are even 40 or ask your doctor. JESUS is our great physician. Thank you all who prayed for me. As you know there is POWER in PRAYER to JESUS.
