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 . I experimented with almond milk and coconut milk and we liked this the best. This brand can be found at most local health food stores. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

For I know the plans I have you declares the Lord , plans to prosper you not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

With the New Year fast approaching and resolutions being developed and refined, I sit here meditating and fostering my own intentions and goals. As I do I  quickly realize I have only one that really makes a difference in every aspect of my life, and that is to chase God like never before!! I want every step I take to begin and end with him. When we walk in step with God, completely surrendered and guided by him, nothing can shake us. We are solid and secure with our feet planted… standing on a firm foundation! Not only that, but when we chase God and not what we want … an abundance of blessings and favor will be poured out into our lives that there will not be enough room to store it!! So here’s to the New Year … Old things have passed away, Behold the new has come!! ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Chase God, and discover rest and favor inconceivable!!!  🌟🙏🏻

Psalm 63

Oh God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. They will be given over to the sword  and become food for Jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God’s name will praise him, while the mouth of liars will be silenced.

Psalm 139

Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down, you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -behind and before, you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there, if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, you’re right hand will hold me fast. I say, Surely The darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you, the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts,  O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent, your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them, I count them my enemies. Search me,  O God. And know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

My favorite Christian artist Jeremy Camp sings this song called “Walk by Faith”.  Ive always thought walking by faith was reading the bible, praying, doing the right thing, trying to earn Gods favor so he would give me the desires of my heart. Yes those things are important but as I grow closer to the Lord I realize its so much more than that. God doesn’t want me to do things for him just to get something ‘from him’. Theres no reward with that. The reward comes when I diligently seek him with all my heart. Putting my full trust in him no matter what, even when things aren’t going as I think think they should or I feel my prayers aren’t being answered. Like that song says “I will walk by faith even when I cannot see”. Aha!… Thats what pleases God .. being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1-2) WHILE earnestly seeking him! God is faithful. If you obey his word, Love him with a pure heart, diligently seek him and walk by faith…He will reward your faithful diligence. He is a loving, trustworthy, all powerful God. He does not waiver! He will carry you through!

When everything is changing around us, HE… ” I AM WHO I AM”  remains the same ❤️
