Yesterday I could have had a very difficult day! I was extremely tempted to react to a situation and had to make a "quick spiritual decision".
I'm sure you never experienced loosing your cool and stay perfectly "Cool Calm and Collected" In the Lord at all times. I'm being a little funny just to make a very important point.
When Jesus was being tempted in the wilderness for those 40 days and nights. He didn't run to church to find someone to spill His problems out to. He didn't put on His favorite worship tapes to get Him through the rough times. He didn"t even call out to God asking Him to punish His persecutor ( The devil) to instantly remove His evil existance.
Instead Jesus began to verbalize and repeat words of Power from the promises of His Father. His fathers words! The Powerfull and all consuming word of God! Power and Victory exploded in the devils face as He used faith words to nulify and end satans torments and lies.
Life is full of testings that can be turned into victorys if we are truly seeking the Lord daily for a consecrated life in Christ. Which shall we cling to? The old carnal nature or cry out to God using His word as your sword to destroy the attacks of your enemy . letting go of all restraint feels good momentarily. But there is always a price to pay afterward that cause us heartache and pain for what we have said or done. This is why Jesus went away often to pray and be alone with His father. God could impart strength into Jesus heart and life for what He was to indure for you and I to be able to Live a forgiven and abundant Life in Him!.
The next time your being tempted in amy area of your life realize that closness to Jesus through a life of love prayer and devotion will irradicate the old carnal ways that once ruled our lives causing hurts pain and sin to overtake us.
The other day when I felt like rea;y loosing my cool. I too got away finding a secluded place away from the situation and began to pray in the Spirit. little by little I was restored to a peace that surpasses all understanding. It was no longer I that liveth but "Christ who livith in me" that scripture flooded my being with love peace and understanding. An hour later I recieved a precious apology as the Holy Spirit was able to speak into the heart of a loved one and wonderful restitution was made because of prayer and the word of God!
May we all go into the "Garden of Olives" often as Jesus did to ask for more of Him who is ever able to answer the crys of our heart filling us with His grace and victory upon hearing our crys and intercessions. Enabeling us to "Endure" through His grace ushering us into a consecration to Him who is able to do "Abundantly" more than we could ever ask or think.
Whatever trials or Temptations that may come your way choose Gods way "Living Dwelling and having Your Being in Him"! Learning to Trust Gods written word as Jesus did while the devil tempted Him "to eat" rather than "fast" for mankind while preparing in the desert for what lay ahead of Him. "Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that preceeds out of the mouth of God"! Speaking Gods words and promises in the bible while Interceeding for strength in your times of temptations is powerfull! I promise that you will be an overcomer seing more and more "Victorys" as you walk in Christ learning to apply these deeper truths to your life in Christ.
Heavenly Father
Help me to realize that there is "More" of You awaiting my heart and live If I make the decision to yeild to "You" rather than to give in to the ways of this world. I know your desire for me is to walk a righteous life in Christ Jesus. Only my secret times with you in prayer andtaking needed time to read the New testament will bring this to pass. Amen

Coments Appreciated!
If you have been one of the many hundreds and hundreds of people who have loged onto my Prayer blog "Please take a moment and comment".
Comments are the writers biggest most wonderful blessing.
It lets me know if you are being touched by the words from my heart.
I Love you all and Pray for you daily so it isn't an accident you have found me. God has a way of gently speaking into our lives and hearts to go this way, or to do this or that. He speaks to you daily if you listening carefully and spend time with Him in prayer.
Look at and read at your leasure the different true stories I have written from my lifes true experiences. They are Gods messages and Love letters just for you from Him.
Some have commented to me because they are local. But I know that because of the numbers I am reaching many are being touched especially in the ( U.S.and Russia!) and many other remote areas. I Thank God for this!
When the Lord changed my life it didn't come through a Church family or friend as it should have. God chose to touch my life through a T.V. program Thank God for them "A Man and Woman of God" that were dedicated to reaching the world for Jesus! Just as I do today.
We shouldn't keep Gods love for us a secret. He tells us in His word ( The Bible) to shout it! from the house tops! I believe this with all my heart and Shout!! In hopes to reach others out of the darkness I once lived in.
Many still remain silent by keeping there beautiful experiences a secret. But if you take a moment to share from your heart another will be drawn closer to the Lord by some thing meaningfull "You" have experienced.
To share what God has done in your life is Precious to Him! And it brings life and so much "Hope" to many others As it did for me. So I will keep sharing and shouting all His goodness and Love with every breath I breath. It is what God Loves Most! For me to reach out to others!! I will continue doing so till every lost and hurting soul is see's Gods Light and love!
I can never repay God for all He has done for me through the precious gift of His loving son Jesus! I am renewed and Born again! Given a new chance to start over again. For over 25 years I've been reaching out to others and Love It!
A "Geat Big God Bless You" This day! as you continue to read my Personal Divine Appointments.... Will you please take a moment to share what God has done for you through them. Please be a Blessing to others as You too have been Blessed!
P.S. I want to send a loving thanks to the ones that been obedient to the Lord and have blessed my ministry with a generous love offering toward the continuing of these true testimonys. God has changed my life so that one day I can get a book published.
I still have a long way to go so please pray especialy if you have been one touched by my lifes stories. Some plant and some water! So Please! consider watering so that I can keep planting these true stories so others will be touched! By now you know I am an evangelist who is tirelessly doing all I can do to reach the precious lost souls for Jesus.
Will you work with me to get the word out and tell others all over the world! ....I live my life by "faith" and Trust that God will speak to my readers and little evangelist out there. I believe God is speaking to those who will partner with me to reach hearts for God.
Beloved of God, if you have been touched please be one who will water with your suport to help this Blog get published into a book form so many can purchase it and pass it on to others who do not read the bible. This is called the Great Commision! I vowed to accept this Heart felt challenge when God spoke to me many years ago. God is the true author of my messages just as Jesus is .. Jesus is the "Author" and finisher of our Faith!
Before that last Trupet sounds as JESUS our Savior comes to take us home. Let us all be found Partakers in this great ingathering of His lost Sheep!

Gods Side Doors
I am being led of the Lord to teach a group of young girls ages 13 to colege age all about how much God loves them and deeply desires to make their dreams come true. This Christ centered hands on seminar will help put Godly importance first and above all decisions they wil be making in their future.
Somtimes in life we have to do things for God by entering through other doorways I worked in the beauty Profession for many years before the Lord called me to work for Him in His harvest. So at this time my God given versitility is to reach and help these young ladies learn and grow more confident in who they are in Him. Paul was all things to all people. So we too must learn to be flexable by not missing the adventurous side doors of ministry that God may be opening up for us.
It seems to me these girls are at a kind of crossroads in their lives like I was in my life long ago with no one to go to for the answers I needed.. I remember searching and searching and It wasn't in the local womens club in out little towne. It wasn't in the neighborhood coffee groups. Then their were the local bars where familys would get togather for a drink and chat (gossip)about what the neighbors are doing while getting silly with intoxicating brew and this was definately not for me either.
While these things are probrably seem quite normal to the many people in our daily lives It didn't seem normal to me. This was a great Big "clue" for me that I didn't recognize then. In fact I felt lost. LOST! and very alone. Oh! another "Biger clue". I never felt comfortable with these wastefull pass times. I had deeper questions and serious thoughts about life and nowhere and no one to ask to get answers. I Was Lost! I was without a shepard "Jesus" Even with many people in my life who attended churches I still couldn't see their lives as being changed in any way.
So I got involved with life and made many mistakes because of what the word of God calls "Lack of Knowlege" But how would I know when I didn't even read the bible or go to a Spirit filled church.
These girls have the opportunity to feel free to talk about Jesus. Because its based on Psalm 139 right out of the bible. Yes they will have the apportunity to learn about hair makup and all kinds of wardrobe mix and matches with just the right colors for their skin tone. But mostly how much God wants them to be who He created them to be. Beauty is only skin deep and they will learn the depths of what makes us who we are. He calls us salt upon the earth a seasoniong to make things taste good. It's also a valuable preservative to keep things from spoiling.And we're all usless and "spoiled" if we arent used to the fullest of our Godly potential. We belong to God we are His children first before our worldly parents. We are only given to them as a blessing for a season to raise up and be trained for our Heavenly Father!
Yes we are all created to be that one and only unique human being that God wants us to be. To shine that special light out into a dark and dreary world for those multitudes with no hope or direction in their life. Each one of us have somthing to give and if not fulfilled we shrivel up and start to slowly die little by little day by day.
Today check and see if God has opened a doorway that you might have over looked. I waited a long long time for the right person to finally tell me the Good News of my Savior so it came through a side door. Through a neighbor giving me her simple testimony of how Gods loved and got her through a life of heartache and abuse. Her love and faithfullnes in Christ touched my life! "One Divine appointment in time" รค side door!
During that same time God was bringing my attention to a very timely Christian talk show which helped me take the finishing steps needed to ask Jesus into my life. It didn't come through a church or a minister or my many friends who were church going. In fact Im sad to say they all seemed to be in social clubs that only a select few were invited to. So the Lord" kept" me till I could recieve the" Real thing" Jesus! And even though it took a long while I was completely ready and knew in my heart it was the best and right bibicle road for me to take.
It was God all along who was orchestrating my search for HIM! The word of God tells us in Jerimiah 29:11-14 "When we seek Him we shall be found of Him when we seek Him with our whole heart!
So today I ask God for as many detours and side doors He can open to me. these precious girls are only another adventurous side door God has opened for me to reach and teach and touch as many as I can for His Glory! My desire is to attract all to my Jesus. And only He has the "Inner Beauty" we all so desperately are needing in our world. Without His inner beauty in our hearts we truly have not found the living Christ!
