I love these pictures, becuase through them I see LOVE,HOPE, TRUTH and EVERLASTING LIFE WITH MY SAVIOR. The pictures of his CRUCIFICTION tells me that if he could endour all the pain and humiliation, then so can I. You are not worshiping the pics, but seeing what our LORD went through for all of us. We were made in HIS IMAGE and COLOR HAS NO MEANING IN HIS EYES. I am Native American and in our language that He gave us, HE is Wanka Tanka, The Great Spirit, Our Creator. All he wants EVERYONE to do is LOVE ONE ANOTHER and TELL OTHERS ABOUT HIM. Thank you Great Spirit for your Unmerciful Treatment, I am waiting for you to return. God Bless Everyone.

Thank you Jesus for your love and mercies. This sums it uP:
“That is why it is important for the believer to understand that no matter how badly we’ve messed up, Jesus will receive us if we present ourselves to Him in our imperfection, and desire to come back to Him. He is the only one that can free us from the bondage of sin, so Brethren, what ever shame we feel should not drive us from Jesus, it should drive us to Jesus!”

The following words should change the life of every broken sinner the world over. The Enemy is so good at creating a “separation” between the children and the Father, because it is only within the separation that he, the Enemy, is able to afflict, defeat and control the children. But it is in our power to break off that chain, because it is never the sinner God abhors, but the sin.

“The purpose of this message is to encourage you that when we do sin, we should not feel too ashamed to come back and ask for God’s forgiveness. The purpose of this message is to stress that when we sin, it becomes incumbent on us to SEEK JESUS OUT! Climb that sycamore tree, and wave our hands frantically to get His attention. The contrition that a repentant heart produces should cause us not to run from Jesus, but to run towards Him. The Lord knows when we sin. It in not our acknowledgement of our sins that brings the sin to His attention. But it is our acknowledgement and remorse of our sins, that brings to our attention our dire need for Christ.”

Mark these words; post them on your walls, and write them upon the tablets of your heart. That in dying the death of contrition, we may receive life anew unto ascension.

To the Handmaid:
May the LORD continue to fill you even as you empty yourself. And as the kindgom of Hell is exposed through your hands, may the the Kingdom of Heaven continue to prevail in your life.

I say, Amen.

This is very good information. But this is the prayer I often pray, because sometimes it is so hard:
“Lord, Please help my unbelief…”

I have a question…did Mary and Zacharias see angels often? If an angel came to me and told me something I would totally believe it….I agree with the statement about the heart. I think its very important…I’M ENCOURAGED…God Bless

As many times as I’ve read the stories of Mary and Zachariah, and understood each story within its context, the contrast and side-by-side comparison, however, immediately illuminates both narratives beautifully and anew; conceiving, it seems, a third narrative out of the marriage of the two.

What is also profoundly evident here is the fact that Gabriel neither needed hear Zachariah give utterance to his disbelief, nor required he Mary give voice to her belief. God’s judgement and Gabriel’s pronouncements were based entirely on what was perceived from within their hearts. Which makes the aforementioned passage in Romans 10:8 the more poignant.

We have convinced the world of our piety through forged religiosity and forced litanies; yet as Galatians 6:7 reads- “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” And does the sowing not happen within the soil of our very hearts? More than the crux of this message, which is our inexcusable need to believe in Christ and what He stands for, what I found moving and much more compelling within this blog, is the absolute nakedness with which we stand and appear before this God. As it was then, so it is now; and here we all are still hiding behind our fig leaves as once we did after our Fall in the Garden.

Psalm 139

1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. 5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Therefore, how can anyone refuse to give his or her heart in uninhibited faith, trust and belief in One with such unimpeded knowledge of our entire frame? Talk about living life at odds with one’s self.

May the Lord continue to bless the eyes of your Spirit, thou fair daughter of the Most High God.

The Son of Amos.
