Although the snow is gone, the memories remain. 

Praise be to the Lord for a most glorious beginning in 2011. 

May the Lord continue to wash our sins white as snow.  

I added a "page" which includes a number of pictures

that my sister took during the week of snow that we received! 

Please visit the page listed above to see some nice pictures. 

CLEANING

Idols are everywhere in the United States.  Idols are considered to be people, places or things that we give more time to than we do the LORD Himself.  There also can be false idols in homes.  Wooden totem poles can represent false gods of other nations.  Trinkets and gadgets, gizmos and fabric from other places that have been cursed can be brought in and can cause a disturbance in your household. 

Do you know where everything has come from in your house?  Are there things from previous generations that have been passed down that you do not know about?  Has a family friend or co-worker in ignorance given you something that is not Holy or pleasing to the Lord?

In the book of 2nd Chronicles chapter 29, there is a description of people cleansing the house of the Lord. 
Specifically in verse 15... ¹⁵And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD."

I know my house is not a church buildling, but it is a place of gathering to worship the Lord our God, Jesus Christ.  Our house has been given to us by God, and He owns all things. (Psalm 24:1)  We worship here in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24) and Jesus is in our midst, as we gather in His name. 

Over this Christmas break, we went through our outside storage place, (which use to be my dads office!) into the attic, the basement and closets, as well as discerning if there was anything that was not pleasing to the Lord in our house.  It was good to cleanse our property and throw away some things.  After all, there is a time to keep and a time to throw away! 

May the Holy Spirit lead you in showing you things that may not be necessary in your house hold.
Our God is a Holy God, righteous and true altogether. 

May His grace, His mercy, His knowledge, His wisdom and His truth be added unto you, in Jesus name.

Merry 2011!
 

A New Year

Praise God for another year.  Each year is a blessing because we have the privilege to glorify God and His son Jesus Christ.  Having the ability to glorify Jesus is what makes life a joy.  I am so excited to share the Lords glory with others and I hope you are as well.  If God is for us, who can be against us.  Remember Isaiah 61:10 which talks about how we will greatly rejoice in the Lord and our souls shall be joyful because He has clothed us with the garments of salvation and He has covered us with His righteousness!  Praise God we do not have to earn our righteousness. 

I hope you take each of these 52 weeks this year and learn some more about our Lord and share that knowledge with another. 

Ministry...  that is...  communing/communicating with others and bringing up words pleasing to our Lord (mainly His Word), is like breathing spiritually. 

Have you been breathing lately?!

May grace, mercy, peace and love be added unto you and your family, in Jesus name.
