This past weekend was the funeral for my friend's mum. My two very dear friends lost their mum after heart surgery and a stint in rehab. We really thought she was recovering, but she went home to be with the Lord a few days ago.
It was sad of course knowing that she had passed on, but bless God for the hope that we have in Jesus. Her funeral was a total celebration and to some it almost looked incredulous that we could raise hands, sing and praise God in the midst of a situation like that.
But............God's word............
1 Thessalonians 4:13 & 14 says, "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him."
Isn't that a glorious hope that for those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior, that death no longer has a sting and the grave no longer has victory over us?
I am so grateful for God's word, that in the midst of sorrow, we can find joy.
In the midst of turmoil, we can find peace.
In the midst of death, we can find life.
Friends, never, ever stray from God's word.
It will fulfill every need that you can ever have. It is power, it is spirit and it is life.
Blessings,

A Praise Break
Today I thought I would take some time just to give God praise. I just want to use God's word to give Him praise. This Psalm testifies of the beauty,mercy and also the judgment of God.
Today I put my own words and my own thoughts aside and present to you: God's word.
Psalm 50 (NIV)
The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.
He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
"Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for He is a God of justice.
"Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel: I am God, your God.
I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,
for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
"Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call on Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor Me."
But to the wicked, God says:
What right have you to recite my laws or take My covenant on your lips?
You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
When you see thieves you join with them;
you throw in your lot with adulterers.
You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
You sit and testify against your brother and slander your own mother's son.
When you did these things I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you.
But I now arraign you and set my accusations before you.
Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue:
Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor Me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.
Praise God.
If you have never read this Psalm before I encourage you to read it a few times. I had to read it a couple times the very first time I came across it. It portrays a powerful loving God, but a God of justice as well.

Vickie

He is...........
"Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor." Exodus 6:23
God had spoken to Moses about asking Pharaoh to let His people go. Moses, after a lot of questions and objections, went to Pharaoh along with Aaron. Over and over again he refused to release the Israelites from their labors. In fact he made things worse by insisting they collect their own straw to make the bricks and in the same time frame they were still supposed to produce their full quota of bricks.
As instructed by God, Moses and Aaron had brought together all the elders of Israel and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses, who also performed the signs before the people and they believed . When they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshipped.
However, when Pharaoh hardened his heart and made their lives even worse, they got really mad at Moses and Aaron, blaming them for what was happening to the people of Israel. Moses returned to the Lord and God gave him a word to take back to the people that in essence said, I am the Lord, who will bring you out of this enslavement by my mighty acts. He reported this to them but they wanted to hear none of it. They were so discouraged by their harsh treatment, that they refused to acknowledge what God had said.
Today, just like them, so many of us still choose to believe our circumstances over what God says in His word.
Many times we throw our hands up in despair and panic when things go wrong, even though God has said He is a present help in our time of trouble.(Psalm 46:1)
Even though God has met our needs time and time again, whenever it seems like an impossible situation is before us, we often choose to worry first forgetting that He promises to supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philipians 4:19)
According to 2 Cor. 5:7 we walk by faith and not by sight. Our hope is in God and not in how our circumstances look, no matter how dire they may be.
Today I want to encourage you to look away from whatever would burden you and look to God. He is a covenant making and a covenant keeping God. He will keep His word. He has never changed and He will not fail you.
Find Him in His word and see that He is Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides if that's what you need.
He is Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our banner, if you need covering.
He is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, if you are sick today.
He is Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our peace, if you are troubled today.
Whatever you need Him to be, He is willing to be to meet your every need.

Be ready, be prepared
There are many many times in life that we just don't know nor can we ever be truly prepared for what will happen next. We may make all kinds of plans and anticipate certain things but we can never accurately predict what the next day, the next moment or the next year will bring.
Saturday is the day for my bible study group to meet. So we prepared to meet yesterday. The difference was that instead of morning like usual, we would meet in the evening to accommodate one of our group members who had to work. Yesterday's meeting was a very important one as we were looking to compile a list of all the talents, gift and abilities God had given to each of us so we could find some commonalities in our efforts to give back to Him as a team and help build the kingdom. Even more important we were preparing to acknowledge our strongholds, those things that held us back from using our God-given abilities to bring Him glory. We were preparing to use the powerful Word of God to demolish these strongholds so we could move forward.
Since I have just moved and we are still unpacking and settling in, we had made plans to meet at another home. However, an incident at the home threatened to derail the plans we had for the evening. But God.........
While preparing dinner for the event a rice cooker malfunctioned and a roommate at the house was burned with the hot water that came from it on two/three of her fingers. This happened about 10/15 minutes before we arrived, but when we got there she was in a lot of discomfort and some of the skin had even started to peel off a portion of her fingers. Obviously this was a great concern and somewhat unsettling. The meal was put on hold and the study as well, so we could deal with the unexpected. We spent a few minutes praying and declaring the word over her asking God not to let it get any worse and for complete healing and restoring of her hand .
She eventually went to the emergency room and after about an hour and a half we had dinner and got things going.
We were so excited about yesterday's meeting. We had called each other throughout the week, talked about it and was really looking forward to spending a few hours together.
In the end we got to spend just about 45mins to an hour working on it.
Reflecting on it this early morning, I saw that while we don't know what can or will happen next, we can be prepared in God.
When sickness comes unexpectedly we can have the word of God to declare by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
When we are challenged about our beliefs, we should always be prepared to give a reason for the hope we have in our hearts. 1 Peter 3:15
When disaster strikes and panic wants to wrap itself around our very hearts, the word says as we bring it God with thanksgiving, His peace will guard and rule our hearts. Phil. 4:7
When nothing seems to be going right in your life and that of your family, the weight of it all keeps depressing you, be ready to 'put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness'. Isaiah 61:3
We are privilege to have the word of God. When we don't know where we are going, His word becomes a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Psalm 119:105
The next few minutes may be unknown to us, but if we know the Word of God, we can be prepared for anything that life or the enemy throws at us. We can get prepared by always wearing our full armor so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes. Ephesians 6:3
We may not be able to change all the situations that we come up against, but we can work at changing our response by using the Word as our first aid kit.
This year my focus is more and more on the Word. I have started a method of memorizing more of the Word so I can hide it in my heart and I am increasing my study time.
I am walking with God as He leads me day by day and step by step. He knows what's next, I don't. So when I get more of His Word, I am able and prepared somewhat to brace myself in anticipation of the challenges ahead. His word becomes my shield and my fortress.
We couldn't have anticipated what would happen yesterday, but armed with the Word of God, we were able to deal with the situation and went on after some time in prayer to have a short but fruitful evening. If we had not had God's word to be our refuge and our peace, the evening
probably would have been one of chaos, panic and most likely postponed.
My encouragement to you today is -in the face of all that has happened already, and in light of all the bible prophecies - don't get caught unprepared, arm yourselves with the Word of God. It is our only hope and our only solution for anything that we could ever face.
Have a blessed day

Word Filled Wednesday
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth; His eyes examine them.
Psalm 11: 3 & 4
This portion of Psalm 11 brought such consolation to my soul when I read it today. There is so much assurance in it. In these times of uncertainty, economic upheaval, recession, terrible job losses, men hearts failing them because of the pressure and the stress, wars going on that seem to have no end in sight, there is hope for the one who put their trust in God.
David asks the question, "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" When all that has been stable for centuries are now being shaken and destroyed, what can we do? He gives us an answer in the next verse." The Lord is in His holy temple, the Lord is on his heavenly throne." We can hide in God. He is our shield, He is our fortress and He is our rear guard.
The word reminds us that the name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run into it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10 We don't have to fear, we don't have to worry, even when we get affected by all that's going on -which is possible since we live in this world - we are anchored safe in Jesus.
Keep your trust and your hope in Him and His word.
Heaven and earth shall pass away but God's word will stand forever. Matthew 24:35
Fill your life and your heart with God's word, not just today Wednesday, but every day.
Have a Wonderful Word Filled Wednesday.

Some Changes With Moving
Well, as many of you know, I was in the process of moving for a few weeks now. Since it was a financial strain to us, God used some very dear friends to help us move most of our stuff over the last two weeks. They would come whenever they could and we would move whatever we had packed and that would fit into their vehicles. We moved in the same city so the distance was no problem at all. Finally yesterday we were able to just rent a small truck and move the heavy stuff, like tables, beds, chairs etc. I am truly grateful to God for how He provided throughout this time and I can already sense that this move is all in line with God's plans for my family. So we are all moved, now facing the unpacking. Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support.
However, with the prospect of moving, there came some hard decisions that had to be made. Due to the lack of storage space at our new home we had to get rid of some of the things we had accumulated over the years. Some of them were things that we wanted to hold on to, but wisdom said, get rid of it, give it away, something. So along with those kind of decisions, also came the decisions to use this time to get rid of stuff that we had for a while and wasn't using, some that we were using, but it wouldn't hurt us if we didn't have them, so in essence we used this time to do a big bit of spring cleaning.
In the midst of all this moving, I almost forgot that we were into a new year. God reminded me when He caused me to think of not just moving to a new home but moving higher in Him. However, He said, "Vickie, you have to get rid of some stuff. You have to do some spiritual spring cleaning." Not easy at all.
Even though we want to move to a new place in God, and we truly would like to do all that that entails, it is very hard to give up some of the attitudes and habits that we have been holding on to for a long time. 1 Peter 2:1-3 says, "Therefore, rid yourself of all malice, and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."
To enjoy my new home, with it's different layout and location, I had to get rid of some of the things I had. My new bathroom is smaller than my old one, so some of the things I had in my old one won't work in my new one. It will cause problems. I can't go higher in God if I keep holding on to some of my habits, even though they feel a part of me, having had them for a long time.
Most of the stuff I got rid of or gave away was good but it wouldn't be good for where I am now. Some of the things we have in our lives are not bad, but they won't be good for where God wants to move us to. Spending a few minutes in the word, or praying on the go, may work for where we are at now, but for God to use us more effectively to speak into the lives of others to help bring some change, means we need to set aside time for regular study, prayer and fasting.
Some of the people in our lives may not go with us as we climb higher in Him. We may have to sacrifice some friendships as we reach for the standard that God has set. Some of the things in our lives we know are not of God and we have hesitated to deal with them, but Peter says rid ourselves, so that there may be room to grow in Jesus.
It is not easy to move at all. We felt good when we thought of our new apartment, but almost felt disgusted when we looked at all the drawers and closets and cupboards that had to be emptied. Same it is with our spiritual walk. We are excited when we think of growing up in our salvation, but it takes a lot to get there.
It's worth it though. As we look around we are so happy we made it through this move and likewise I know there is a release for us and there are so many rewards awaiting us as we push past all that will keep us back and move forward in Him.
I am excited about the prospects. I have already challenged my Saturday study group to get up and step out there. Every single day is a new day to begin with God. Every day can be like the beginning of a new year, because He provides new mercies day after day after day.
I challenge you today to do whatever it takes, drop off whatever you have to, get rid of whatever you have to, give up whatever you have to, to go to a deeper depth and a higher height in God.
The results will be phenomenal!!!!!

Vickie

A Move For the New Year
Hope everyone has been doing well since the New Year started. I pray a continual overflow of God's presence in your lives everyday of this year.
Sorry I haven't been around much, just to make a comment here or there. We are in the process of moving, a very big job, and so I have not been online much at all. We have already started and are expected to complete our move this coming weekend. Unfortunately we wont have internet there for about two weeks, but Verizon is offering complimentary dial-up for the time - even though the high speed I have now feels like dial up - so maybe I will be able to post a bit.
Anyway your prayers would be appreciated for a smooth transition from here to there and God's grace as we settle in. We will be moving within walking distance of school, so the kids are excited about that.
Thank you for your concern and your best wishes.
Blessings,
Vickie

Anyway your prayers would be appreciated for a smooth transition from here to there and God's grace as we settle in. We will be moving within walking distance of school, so the kids are excited about that.
Thank you for your concern and your best wishes.
Blessings,
Vickie
