ARMOR OF GOD

D Man one day made the Armor of God out of recycled items. I find that our children are so creative and I love to share that with you all:)

The shield of faith, breastplate of righteousness, sword of the spirit, feet ready and the helmet of salvation. 

Ephesians 6:10-20

New International Version (NIV)

The Armor of God

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mysteryof the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

I LOVE JESUS

I drew I love Jesus in the sand at the beach not realizing that minutes later I would be sharing Jesus' grace to a man that seemed to be griped with fear. 

When there soul is in anguish remind them Jesus is right there with him. 

Why does fear grip us?

Because we choose to hold onto it.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self control. 

We don't recognize that Jesus took our fear and it was nailed to the cross. A redemptive story of God's love for you and me. 

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Are you willing to share his redemptive love?

Are you ashamed of Him?

Jesus' blood washed all of our sins

When a person asks you why do you wear the cross, you remind them that you don't take wearing the cross lightly but rather in deep remembrance of what Our Savior had to endured on the cross for you and me. 

Jesus' blood washed all of our sins. There is power in the blood of Jesus. Don't be ashamed, bring them to Him and introduce them to the Savior. The one who loves them and who has forgiven them.

This gentle man on the beach shared with me that he counsels people that have been sexual abused, addictive to drugs or alcohol which I totally relate to both.

I was able to share how I was able to forgive the man that kidnapped and raped me. But only God can heal a broken heart that's why I need a Savior and this is why everyday I have to run to Him with all things. What Satan meant for bad God meant for GOOD!!! God WILL use your testimony for His glory. I know God saved me from death literally that why I choose to forgive this man.

Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strength you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


What is forgiveness?

Psalm 34:4
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from ALL my fears.

LETTING GO!!!

Jesus forgave him, I need to extend my hand out to forgive. Here is the thing my offender could have asked for forgiveness and guess what " He is forgiven". But I live a life of fear, anxiety, and bondage which I lived for years. Who is hurting now, this is why I choose to forgive.

1) He is Forgiven
2) I forgave and freed myself to love beyond measures.

Its a free gift!!
Receive It and Be Free

Romans 16:20
The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Are you willing to lay it all down at Jesus' feet?
Are you willing love like Jesus loved?
Are you willing to live a free life?
Are you willing to serve like Jesus did?

Do you have a heart for others?
Are you willing to forgive?

Are you willing to surrender your heart to Him?

Our Loving Father is waiting for you to come.

Lay it all down, receive him as your Lord!!!

Trust in Him, no one is more trustworthy.

He Loves YOU!!!

He has so many promises for you

He wants you FREE!!!!

He wants to embrace YOU!!!


Come

Love,

Jesus

Pray this prayer to receive Jesus:

Dear Jesus,

I need you, I can't do this on my own.
Jesus come into my heart and transform me from the inside out.
I surrender my life to you.
I want what you want and I want to desire what you want.
Holy Spirit rain in my life, an ever present flame.
Forgive me of my sins.
Cleanse me from everything.
I receive you into my life and turn from my ways and into your arms Jesus!!!!
Thank You Jesus for saving me.
In Jesus Name:
Amen

Beloved if you prayed that prayer please let me know, because I want to keep you accountable and pray for you too.

Blessings to all that have read and received this message, This message wasn't from me but inspired by The Holy Spirit.

THE U.S. PRESIDENTS MARCH REVIEW

Thank you to SingNLearn for letting us review the U.S. Presidents March CD. 

U. S. President's March
by Fred & Sarah Cooper

Learn the names of all the Presidents from George Washington to George W. Bush to the tune of John Phillip Sousa's Washington Post March.

Also, includes the names of the First Ladies to the same march tune.

Interesting fact sheet includes such information as; when they lived, when they served, their home states, their occupations, interesting quotes and the legacies of their administrations.

Additionally, the set includes the Ballad of the Constitution from Ballads of American History which includes interesting facts about the origin of the Constitution and its major principles. Its almost a short course in American History.The current President has not yet been added, but we left a little ending where the name of the 44th President could be added at the end of the song. It will be updated when we run out of our current inventory. 

This CD can also be found in several of the Presidential Museums, Mount Vernon, and the Smithsonian President’s Museum Store.

My Review:

What a perfect year to learn the Presidents of the United States of America with the election and all. Our children love to learn with music. This CD can be used in the home or in your car. The US Presidents March is a fun way to learn your Presidents, the CD is a little fast but when repeated several times you will caught on to all the names of the Presidents and there wives. I like in when we have resources that are educational for the car especially because we spend alot of time traveling with activities. The US Presidents March makes it fun and your children will be learning while traveling or at home. Our son stated that it is helpful to have this resource on the go.They enjoy sitting back and relaxing to a great CD. That is when we mostly use products like this. It's a great time to listen and learn new things especially the Presidents of the United States which is part of our History...
