Some persons appear to have things in life easy
Others have to struggle to cope desperately
Just what is the reason for this discrepancy
Is it due to their actions or just destiny?
Some are born into a family of poverty
While others are born into a life of plenty
Reincarnation says the home of our birth
Is determined by a previous life on this earth
Others say such an explanation has no worth
It's just due to the accident of our birth
The situation certainly makes one wonder
If we are all born according to some order

Iran has opened up a muslim dating site purely for Muslims, because the the other 30 plus ones that are currently available in Iran are promoting naughty business.

Now there are arguments that the Muslim way of life is great, yet the divorce rate in Iran for under 30's is over 22%. What you do is fill in all your info, what you like, sports, food etc and its the moderators that will match you up..then , with the blessing of a Mullah, you will be allowed to met from between 30-90 minutes with the blessing of the parents to, her parents !

This way they can monitor you so you are not just in it for sex, like all the others. The problem is that its allowed for married men to use this site to find more wives. But Married women must not and the punishment is to be stoned to death if found out, although this is rarely carried out.

So fill in your forms and get dating.....stones at the ready..

Today I learned that being lonely and alone isn’t all that terrible. God shared with me that I don’t love myself and it’s apparent by my actions. I don’t go to bed on time, I drink too much, I don’t get ready for work, my hygiene is questionable and my weight has skyrocketed. He makes a fair point. I don’t have a comeback. Like I ever did anyway. So He said you are not ready for a relationship at all...at all! Today He said that very loud and clear. He finally told me why He’s been telling me no for years. All I could do was receive His gentle correction. I don’t know what to say. I don’t have anything to say. All I know is that I’m willing to stay single for Him now no matter how long it takes. This is a big step for me because I was never willing to do that before. But when God talks to you that clearly, you listen. There’s nothing you can do but listen. Recently I told a guy friend how I felt about him. He prayed to God about if we could be together. God told him to tell me no. So he came back to me and said God said not now. Gee I wonder why. I think He finally told me why because He knows I’m in love with this man. Totally in love. I’ve known this man for years and he’s the one. But I’m glad God finally told me today hey you’re messed up! I won’t give you anyone until you fix that. So this aloneness I feel is good. It’s different. It’s a purposeful loneliness. It will be guided by Him.

And thanks for reading. I needed to share this with strangers and not on Facebook. It’s too personal for Facebook. Sometimes you just gotta share with strangers.

I'm not sure how to deal with it? Its so Sureal. We were never very close. its as if there was some kind of animosity or Jealousy he had towards me? It was always very unfortunate. Blood clot took him out at 60. I guess you never really know when its your time unless it terminal cancer? There was 7 of us, now there is 6..I hear death comes in 3s

Life is so Profound (Sigh)

if you are reading this blog it mean u are very bless.

just last week a young woman went to her bed with the intention of waking up the next day only to find herself in a endless, timeless sleep.

just tuesday march 8 a very young pregnant woman woke up and told boyfriend she wasnt feeling well, he took her to the doctor where she fainted , doctor rush her to the hospital in her own car they tried all they could but she died with a 8months baby in her stomach .

now the young pregnant woman was the niece of a very close friend of mine the other woman i known her briefly.

now i am just putting this story here for who may read we all need to look in ourselves and be the best we can be, do the best we can not for ourselves alone but for others .

life is like a penny , we can spend it on anything but we only get to spend it once .

some may read and think " what does this have to do with me ? or i dont care about these things, or even have some very rude sarcastic comments .

BUT it can happen to our sister, mother, cousin, sister in- law, brother, brother in-law or even to our dearest friend , our neighbour, if not ourself..

never wake up each day thinking we are untouchable or that we doing it all by ourselves because we are strong or we are eating healthy and exercising or even because we are not sick , our lives can change in less than a heartbeat.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty - Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. Psalms 91:1, 14 KJV

17. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A WAR WHICH IS NOT WON OR LOST! You're either winning or losing! And if you're not winning it, you're losing it!

18. IT'S ALMOST LIKE A SIEGE OF A CITY in olden days. Sometimes the city would last several years--a city surrounded entirely by the enemy's armies, cut off from the rest of the World, from reinforcements & supplies which finally dwindled down to nothing, in food, manpower & ammunition, & became so weak, while the enemy just sat there & patiently waited & didn't even have to attack--because the city wasn't attacking!

19. YOU GET WEAK FROM SITTING STILL! YOU GET WEAK FROM DOING NOTHING, as the church has for generations now. You become totally incapable of even defending yourself, much less launching an attack, while the Enemy gets stronger & stronger from one attack after another--from action, aggression, movement, invasion! You become weakened by a false sense of security, behind barred gates & closed doors & blinded eyes & the desire just to hold on to what you have without gaining any ground!

20. YOU CAN BE DESTROYED BY DEFENDING, INSTEAD OF ATTACKING! NEVER LET YOURSELF GET PUT ON THE DEFENSIVE! Never let THEM do all the talking, ask all the questions, give all the answers! Sock it to them with the Word of God! Survey their condition, find the chinks in their armour, the weakness in their defense, then launch the attack with the Sword of the Spirit! Don't let them put YOU on the defensive or you're doomed to defeat!

21. SURE, WE'LL HAVE CASUALTIES! Sure, we'll have losses! Sure, we'll have wounds!--But we'll win, because we cannot lose! It's impossible, for God is with us! And we're on the offensive! We're moving! We're attacking! We're active! We're DOING something, getting things done!--ACTING, not just talking!--SAMPLES, not just Sermons!--ACTIVISTS, not just theorists!--Converting, changing, conquering!

22. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR OUR SUCCESS HAS BEEN OUR WILLINGNESS TO FACE THE FACTS, to tell it like it is & know where it's at!--To refuse to continue to drift along in that dream-world of religion, but to stand like a tree against the storm, like a rock against the floods, & then to move to the attack!

23. WE'VE FACED THE FACTS, FACED THE FEARS & DECLARED WAR ON HYPOCRISY--war on their lies--war on their deceptions & delusions--& we are determined to destroy, to cast down, to uproot that which is false!--Actively!--Offensively!--That the Lord may plant & build the Truth & His True Church in its place! Hallelujah! "Onward Christian Soldiers, marching in His War, with the Cross of Jesus, going on before!"

24. HE'S TAKING THE WEAK THINGS TO CONFOUND THE MIGHTY, & the things which are not as though they were! He's made something out of nothing--you & me! "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit!" "Not of works" but "by grace through faith", & the gates of Hell shall not prevail against us! Hallelujah!

25. LET'S GO! ATTACK! YOU CAN'T LOSE, because they don't know how to fight! They don't have the right kind of weapons & they aren't facing the facts! They don't know the Truth!

26. FACE THE ENEMY! ATTACK HIM! "Resist the Enemy & he'll flee from thee!" Praise God! Face the fear of Man in the power of His Spirit on the promises of His Word & you cannot fail! Praise God!




TFI [Posted Video - Jesus and Peter - "Change the World!"]

Some people pray to be cured..ie cancer or some other disease. Some of those prayers are answered..allegedly.

So why is it all of the amputees in the world that pray..theirs has not been answered..not one person has had their limbs grown back. What does God have against amputees.

Answers in a post card please.

"A man who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD."

I had to share this, because it gives both men and women something to think about during the dating process especially, those who seek marriage.

"There are many problems in relationships. Too much jealousy, womanizing, selfishness, selfish-ambitions, and many relationships are based on lust, instead of true love. All these ungodly things cause fighting, cussing, and sleeping around from bed to bed with other women. There is a lack of respect for the other partner, not much intimacy or romance (this does not involve sex), between couples, defrauding each others with lies, and a lack of respect or fear of God, or for the other partner, or for self.

The Scripture passage Proverbs 18:22, does not say, "He (the man) who finds a woman finds a good thing." It clearly says, "He (the man) who finds a "wife" finds a good thing." This lets us know that when a man goes in search of a suitable mate to be his wife, he should be careful to look for a woman who already has the inner qualities of being a wife. He should spend time in prayer and fasting seeking God for the woman who has these qualities that God speaks about in His Word. But the man must also have the qualities God speaks about in I Timothy Chapter 3, if he himself is to be viewed and respected as the priest of his home after marriage, and as a wise husband or a real man, when he is seeking a wife.

All women are not qualified to be a wife... And all men are not qualified to be a husband..."

Excerpts from the book "Let's Talk Man Talk"
by Rev. Dr. T. A. Hodge

“Love respects the other. It is a give-and-take relationship. Love enjoys giving, and love enjoys taking. It is a sharing, it is a communication. Both are equal in love; in a s*xual relationship both are not equal. Love has a totally different beauty to it.
“The world is slowly, slowly moving towards love relationships; hence there is great turmoil. All the old institutions are disappearing – they have to disappear, because they were based on the I/it relationship. New ways of communication, new ways of sharing are bound to be discovered. They will have a different flavor, the flavor of love, of sharing. They will be nonpossessive; there will be no owner.
“Then the highest state of love is prayerfulness. In prayerfulness there is communion. In sex there is the I/it relationship, in love the I/thou relationship. Martin Buber stops there; his Judaic tradition won’t allow him to go further. But one step more has to be taken that is neither 'I' nor 'thou' – a relationship where I and thou disappear, a relationship where two persons no longer function as two but function as one. A tremendous unity, a harmony, a deep accord – two bodies but one soul. That is the highest quality of love. I call it prayerfulness.
“Love has these three stages, and compassion accordingly has three stages, and both can exist in different combinations.
“Hence there are so many kinds of love and so many kinds of compassion. But the basic, the most fundamental, is to understand this three-rung ladder of love. That will help you, that will give you an insight into where you are, what kind of love you are living in and what kind of compassion is happening to you. Watch. Beware not to remain caught in it. There are higher realms, heights to be climbed, peaks to be attained.”

For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, Romans 1:11 ESV

Words from Jesus AUGUST 25, 2016

“You have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.”—1 John 2:201

I have a mantle just for you that I drape over your shoulders. It is My anointing. It is the presence of My Spirit in you. It is the strength and encouragement that you need. This mantle is available to all who love Me and serve Me, but each one is different, for it must fit the wearer. Each one is different in color, in size, and in tailoring—and yours is tailored just for you!

I clothe all My servants with the mantle of My anointing—not to cover up, but to enhance. You have the mantle of My Spirit, with its power, love, wisdom, and truth. Never forget that you wear it; it is a symbol of My presence and a great honor.

I have chosen you and anointed you, because you have chosen Me. I have ordained you to go and bring forth much fruit, fruit that will remain. You are worthy, because I gave My life for you. I paid the price. You have been ransomed, and your ransom has been paid.

I love you, and I know that you serve Me because you love Me. What can separate you from this love? Nothing. Even when you are tempted or when you stumble and fall, you will always find My way of escape, and the mantle of My Spirit will always guide and protect you.

Strength in quietness

“For thus the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said, ‘In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.’”—Isaiah 30:15 (2)

You cannot receive the full power, love, and wisdom that you need unless you take time in quietness, seeking Me and praising Me. There are always so many things to be done, and it is a constant temptation to hurry, to push ahead, to accomplish. But I say to you, in quietness and confidence will be your strength. For it is in quietness that you will hear the still, small voice of God speaking to you, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it.”

Great power, wisdom, and love can be found in quietness, in My peace that surpasses all understanding. If you could see the spiritual gifts that I have for you and the strength that I can empower you with! If you could see tangibly, with your eyes, the answers that I have for you and the anointing of My Spirit upon you, you would have greater understanding and you would not fail to take the time to stop and be guided by My still, small voice.

So often your earthly vision is clouded and all that you can see is that there is so much to do, and you feel compelled to labor and labor some more. But I have asked you to labor to enter into My rest. As you do so, I will strengthen, anoint, empower, and guide you.

It is at those times that I instruct and guide you, and it is in those quiet moments when you access the wisdom available to you through My Word. So don’t neglect to come to Me in quietness, and in so doing, receive all that I have for you. As you do so, you will find that your life, your relationships, your job and your ministry will flow so much more smoothly! I can anoint you with the wisdom that you seek and the strength that you need by My Spirit.

The anointing of great faith

“Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.”—1 Peter 1:21 (3)

I honor you with the high calling of discipleship. I honor you with the blessing of great faith in Me. I anoint you with the gift of great faith that trusts when it’s difficult to trust. Faith that keeps on believing when all seems to go wrong.

2 NASB.
3 NLT.
