Faith On Record

If you believe the word of God then you believe in heaven and you believe in hell. After my grandmother died a few years ago, God brought something to my attention. Something that to be honest frightened me at first but later I realized God was revealing something to me that was so precious it wasn’t meant to frighten me, but to encourage me and give me hope and confidence that my salvation is secure and firm in him. 

My grandmother lived an amazing almost 102 years. A sweet yet strong independent woman who lived her life devoted to loving Christ and loving others. A good person by all means. Sixteen years before my grandmothers death I lost one of my great grandmothers. She didn’t care to know Christ or have a personal relationship with him. However, a very strong independent woman, raised her kids, never stole, and was an honest person…  just a good person in general.

Every year for Christmas I would send my grandmother a scripture calendar for her wall.  The year she died I had given her a calendar with a beautiful picture of Jesus on every monthly page. In the last month of her life she asked my dad to tear off the cover of the calendar ( which was by far the most majestic glorious picture of Jesus Christ ) and move it over to the wall by her bed so she could look at it every day. In the last few weeks of her life she would point to the picture of Jesus on the wall and say he’s speaking to her and talking to her. She was in so much peace in her last days. I take heart in knowing she’s in heaven and that I get to see her again someday.

Sixteen years earlier my great grandmother died. Our family talked with her on many occasions about coming to know Christ as her personal savior. She always rejected the notion. It just wasn’t something she thought was necessary or needed. The last few weeks of her life was filled with torment and unfortunately lacked peace in every way. She would have demonic visions … and would holler “ They’re coming to get me, They’re coming to get me.” It breaks my heart to know that that’s how her last weeks on earth were spent. What breaks my heart even more is to know that she may very well be in hell for eternity. 

When I started to reflect on my grandmothers peaceful death and in contrast my great grandmothers, God began to illuminate my thoughts and spirit through his word. So here’s what God spoke to my heart and brought to my attention …

The world says “ Be a good person and you will go to heaven. “ 

God says: 

Ephesians 2:8-9 

 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; It is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 

Romans 10 : 9-10

If you openly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 

Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

God has shown me that there’s no such thing as a good person. We all fall short of his glory. God loved us so much that he sent his son to die on a cross for our sins that we might believe and receive eternal life. God loves us unconditionally. Grace cannot be bought, it’s God’s unmerited favor. Salvation is a gift from God and he longs for no one to perish. The choice is ours! ♥️

 

Celebrate Easter with these tasty moist delicious Grain Free Carrot Cake Cupcakes. These little cupcakes are perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spice. The cream cheese frosting is undeniably delicious and creamy.  One thing I would suggest is to use unsweetened cashew milk by Silk https://silk.com/products/unsweetened-cashewmilk .

Faith On Record

Walking out my faith here on my blog is not the easiest feat. In fact l’ve had to let down some serious walls and barriers that could potentially hold me back. In doing so it has opened me up to judgement and criticism. It makes people uncomfortable. However, I have also had so much love and support and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Let me tell you, I have faced my greatest opposition from people in my closest circles. As hard as it is, it doesn’t come at a surprise to me! I knew when I started this blog that this would be my reality. Jesus states in John 15:18 “ If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of this world, therefore it hates you. Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you”. 

 

Truth

As difficult and daunting as it can be at times, it’s also so exciting! It is what makes me thrive! It is what gives me the power to live in freedom without hindrance or restraint. I will never give up or give in. God has given us freedom and victory over those things in our lives that so easily try to entangle and bound us up in heaviness. One of my go to scriptures on freedom is found in 2 Corinthians 3:17 –

“ Now The Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom “.

Knowing that God sent his son Jesus Christ to purchase our freedom with his blood and forgive our sins is what motivates me to be free to do what God has designed me to do. We are no longer slaves to the past, present, future, anyone, or anything. We are free!!! So as Luke 10:3 says,  “ Now GO, and remember I am sending you out as lambs among wolves “. 

But also remember – 

1 John 4:4 “ Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world “. 

I have been through so much with my health. It’s part of what inspires me to do what I do… I won’t hold back what God has done in and through me, and neither should you!! I want to encourage you to live free… step out boldly and confidently. 

Go the distance ✨❤️

So are lets dig into those Gluten Free Neapolitan Mini Bundt Cakes!!!

Galatians 1:10

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

When I started this blog a few years ago, I played it safe! I knew I was called by God to speak the truth that sets men free, but I was crippled by the fear of not being accepted and supported by the outside world. I lacked the courage and strength to stay true to my convictions that set me apart from the “ common “ Food Blogger. I was in serious danger of losing my God-given destiny. It wasn’t something I overcame quickly. Over time I had to learn to train and inculcate my thoughts to who God says I am. Every time insecurity whispered doubt and fear into my ear, I would fight back with the Word of God! It all started with this one verse … Matthew 5:14 “ YOU are the Light ✨ of the world. A city on a Hill CANNOT be hidden “ .

I read this verse and meditated on it all the time. I had it written on my chalkboard in my kitchen ( still do ) so I could see it every day. The more I proclaimed this truth the more I started to believe it for myself!! Fast forward to now. I no longer seek the approval of others when it comes to my faith and life. I seek God‘s approval and cling to his promises. I will never apologize or shrink back from who I am. I’m confident in who God made me to be and by his POWER I walk in Boldness and proclaim his Marvelous Deeds!! If God is for us, who can be against us?!  ~ Romans 8:31💫 Live by Faith – Don’t Run and Hide 💫

Faith On Record

 

Romans 1 : 19-21

They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, People have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

I chronicle about my life and faith a lot here on my blog. However, I’ve never chronicled about my actual personal encounters with God himself. Hearing God’s voice and listening to him speak to me is a natural way of life when I’m walking closely with the spirit. It’s the most exhilarating feeling that just can’t be put into words. So today I wanted to do something different and unlike most of my blog posts. I want to share one of the many encounters that brought me to my knees in reverence and adoration for our loving heavenly father who is living and active right now in our lives.

Flashback to Saturday, August 6, 2016. I had spent the early part of the day with my mom at an outdoor art event in downtown Coeur d’ Alene. As we walked around we started to chat and I opened up with her about the church we had been attending for the last few months. I just wasn’t feeling it for some reason. It just didn’t feel like it was a fit for my family. I also expressed to her how I’ve been a church hopper for years. I was tired of it! I wanted to settle in somewhere and make it our home. I had been praying earnestly about it for years but got no real obvious answer.

Later that day as I was driving to the grocery store I felt this urge to pray about it again. So I did! For some reason this time I felt like I needed to grab the altar by the horn’s and be very specific about what I wanted God to do for me. So instead of my usual prayer that I prayed for years “ God show us a good church to go to “. I prayed in the power of the spirit and authority and asked God to give me a SIGN!! I needed it to be black and white no grey areas. I asked him to SHOW me the church!! I asked him to make it so CLEAR to me that there was no mistaking. I told him, “ Lord if you don’t show me the church specifically I will continue this awful church hopping and never truly find a place to call home”.

Shortly after that intense prayer, (as I was still driving to the store )  I drove by a church that I had heard through the grapevine was pretty awesome. I had a quick thought of “ Huh oh yeah that would be a good church to try “. A few minutes later I arrived at the grocery store. I grabbed a small basket and picked up a couple of the few items I needed. Suddenly I sensed the spirit tell me to go to the magazine isle. I remember thinking ” Ooookkkaaaayy… Magazine Isle? “ I figured he had something up his sovereign sleeve, but I really had no clue what it could be. So I listened, I went to the magazine isle. I stood there and started fumbling through some cooking magazines completely confused.

After about a minute I started to leave, I only had a few items left to grab and I was ready to check out. NOPE, Screeeeeeccchhh I wasn’t going anywhere! That still small voice told me I had to stay longer. At this point I’m starting to wonder what the heck is going on. I figured “ Oh well maybe theres someone he wants me to bump into here “. Little did I know there was a greater purpose under the surface! After about seven minutes of standing in that magazine isle waiting to be released… God told me I could go. I left the store got in my car and started driving home. As I drove, I passed back by that same church I passed on the way to the store. This time something was noticeably there that was NOT there before!! Two men, standing out in front of the church holding a BIG SIGN that said “ YOU BELONG HERE “ .

I instantly broke down into tears. I realized God orchestrated a divine appointment for me……  HE GAVE ME A SIGN ALL RIGHT… LITERALLY!!! He had me wait in that magazine isle longer so that I would see those men holding that sign at that time on my way home. My grocery trip should have only taken me a quick five minutes , had he not made me wait longer, those men would not have been out there yet! I’ve since been going to that church, and it has never felt so right! It is now my church home… Praise God!

I walked away from this experience with a galvanized sense of the Lords concern for what concerns me. He walks  BEHIND me and BEFORE me! With arms wide open he hears my prayers! He may not always answer on my timeline,  but he answers, and when he does … he MOVES mountains when he speaks!!!

💥 Throw away the distractions that hinder his voice 💥
