God or The devil




I have had much trouble posting this, which tells me, satan, the great deciever, does not want it known.

A beautiful young girl, perhaps about fourteen years of age, had a visitation from an Angel.
She was special, and she proves this by her great faith.
When the Angels tells her, she is to be mother of the Savour of the world there is no hesitation.

Many of us would have been horrified!
Who wants their own family to possibly disown them?
Who cherishes the thought of being taken to the town square and stoned to death?

But Mary spoke these words:
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my soul rejoices in God my Savour."
Mary herself, subjects herself, and proclaims herself, a sinner.
She rejoices in God as her Savour.
She was not a bad person.
But just as all humanity is born into sin, so was Mary.
And she proclaimed this.

Jesus said, "I am the truth the life and the way, no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Do you believe this?

Does the Word of God change?
"Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows."
James 1:17



“Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt.
Serve the LORD!
And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:14-15 (N K J Version)

My Mother Playing Hymns

Spotted at GoTriCities.com: My Wifes Mother
(CLICK ABOVE)

Mum is 93yrs old legally blind, and currently unwell in hospital.


I recorded this on my last visit to see her in N.S.W..
She is a wonderful lady.
After playing the organ and piano for years
she had to give up, due to finger stiffening.
So now she plays her harmonica.
You will see a photo of her with her five children as I pass the camera around.
I am the child with blond hair standing beside her.
I was and still am, a mother's girl.
God Bless you Mum.xx

Ephesians 6:2-3
“Honor your father and mother”—
which is the first commandment with a promise
“so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

OVERWHELMED


OVERWHELMED.....That's where I was this morning.
Something was told to me yesterday, something going back many years.
Something which has hurt another person.
Something they still hang onto.....
This made me fret.
It caused me heartache!
And now it was my choice, what was I to do????

I decided to get up and make myself a cup of tea.
Hot tea with milk is regenerating, especially first thing in the morning.
For some reason? Instead of picking up my bible, I picked up a wonderful book that I had read long ago by Jeanne Guyon.
Jeanne was a French woman from the1700's, and remarkably ahead of her time. 
This lady specifies how to read God's Word slowly, ingesting every morsel.
Immediately a scripture verse popped into my mind.
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour."
(Luke 1:46-47)
Yes, like the mother of Jesus, I can also say this. 
My soul does rejoice in God, because yes, I too, am a sinner.

I began to meditate on this Word, as Jeanne describes. 
 I pictured that Word, held as if food in my mouth. 
Now as I savour the flavour, and as I allow fulfillment before the swallow,
 my nourishment is completed and I recieve the nurturing.
His Word, becomes live food within me...
 I am stimulated to become more like Him.

The apostle Paul once said.
"To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord."
(2 Corinthians 5:8) 
I used to think this meant, at death.
Then this morning a different revelation!
I now believe, when we read the Word with total conviction,
we are transported to the throne room, and into His presence.



Rejoice in the Lord, for He is, our Salvation.
