Hi all, Remember this, Greater is He in you than he that is in this world. He is the Power that is in us. He is at work in us, He fills us, He is for us, He gave His only Son for us, He died instead of us, He loves us, He is not mad at us, He feely gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness, He gives us exceeding and precious promises so we can become like Him and escape the devils snares. He defeated the devil on Calvary, we only have to keep our minds on the Word of God and stop allowing the defeated enemy any access to our lives.

Remember that by these exceeding great and precious promises we might be partakers of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in this world through lust. We have to use the promises written in the Word of God, speaking them and standing on them to escape. Please know there is Victory in Jesus! His Word, His promises cause us to win. In a world ruled by the devil , filled with corruption and hate we can escape by using the words written in the Bible. This is how I have lived for years so I know it works. Remember in the Garden that God's purpose for the man & woman was to follow His words, He would train them and teach them so they could be successful. Well there is no difference from then until now, God wants us standing on His Word. Jesus did. He would say to the devil " it is written", Jesus won and we should be winning in every battle. Battles aren't fun but the victory is so fun!

Seek you first The Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the things will be added unto you. Most people I know seek the things and never seek The Kingdom. Most people so want stuff/ things and never realize the huge importance of how His Ways are of being in the Kingdom and doing in the Kingdom. Or how that Kingdom operates compared to how this world operates. This world is so self seeking, so selfish. You know, Me Me Me! God's Kingdom is all about Love. He is Love, not just has love but is Love. As The King of the Kingdom, He has ordered His Kingdom by Who He is, Love. Since we belong to God we have to live by His rules. His rules are; Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your strength and with all your soul and Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Using these 2 commandments will cause you to overcome in this life. In fact they are the fail safe way to live. Infact 1John says if you keep yourself (in the love of that kingdom) the wicked one touches you not! Come on, there is nothing in this life that can promise you such fail safe living as this word does. By these exceeding great and precious promises we escape the corruption in this world. The only way to escape is by keeping the commandments. I did not say it was easy, nor did I say everyone will help you walk in love. Actually the enemy will react using people to try to cause you to fail. Don't fall for his tactics. Remember, God is on our side and wants and needs us to win. He needs us in His Image and Likeness. The Image and Likeness is LOVE.

Hi all, People think that every thing happens for a reason. Well let us get rid of that religious lie. God's original purpose was to put us in authority in the earth, to govern this planet the way He governs the universe. Since Adam and Eve sinned and listened to the devil, he became the god of this world. That is 11Corinthians 4:4. When Jesus payed for us to be redeemed from the devil and the curse by dying in our place, we were to be free. Unless we operate in that freedom by resisting the devil we can still get attacked. It isn't God allowing the attack, but it is us not using our authority over enemy power to stop it. To use our authority and bind the devil is our Kingdom of God right. If we just sit back and let the enemy attack us or deceive us by thinking oh well everything happens for a purpose, then he will! I believe with all my heart that God wants a people who are so in His image who so follow His words and so know who they are in Him who know their authority, know how to resist the enemy and imitate their Father. God needs us to walk by the word paying no attention to our feelings but only by IT IS WRITTEN. In the wilderness, Jesus resisted the attack of the devil with those very words. Also He won!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!!

Remember where the devil said to Jesus in Luke4:6, all this power will I give thee and the glory of them for that is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I give it? Well Adam and Eve gave the devil their rightful position as rulers, and he has been ruling since. Hatefully and in anger ever since. Not everything that happens is from God, not everything happens for a reason. Especially if the author of it is satan! If it steals, kills or destroys it is the devil. If it is good, lovely and kind it's God.

I am going to tell you a little about my life. All you people who come to my groups don't say oh yuck we have already heard. Even though you have heard my story I think the new people should know something about me.

I am 56 years young, married to John for almost 36 years. We have 3 grown children, (Misty, Christy and Andy. I was into rhyming when naming the kids and had a dog named Sandy.) My daughters each have 3 children , I could go on forever about my 6 grand kids since they are darling. I won't as you probably aren't that interested, I am hoping Andy has a couple of babies as I really like them.

I was born in Ogden Utah to a 16 year old mom and a 21 year old dad. Neither were prepared to be parents. My brother, sister & I were put in a children's home in Ohio then sent to a foster home. Well the baby sister was separated from my brother and I, but he and I grew up in the same foster home till he left for the navy. The people were good to us, but did not know how to deal with brokenhearted, abandoned, rejected children. We were wounded kids and did not know how to fix ourselves. So we did not get fixed.

By the time I was 23 years old, I became filled with fear. It is called agoraphobia. I became afraid of everything, terrified would be the most exact word to describe the fear. No one I knew could help, although I had a few that tried. The reason is the people I knew did not know the Word of God, I didn't either. Everything I had been taught was that God was in control and using it/ causing it and when He was good and ready He might help me. Say yuck twice, yuck yuck! Well the Bible says 'My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge'. That was certainly my experience. I stayed in terror for 7 years, I hate to describe the horror of it cause I would not want to creep you out. Toward the end of the 7 years I developed a fear of eating and drinking. John's company moved us to another state, where we started attending a church where the pastor did not believe a Christian could have a demon. Although he didn't, a group of people did!!! Good thing for me. They came into agreement that the next time I went to the altar that they would come up behind me, lay hands on me and get me free! They based their actions on ' that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in Heaven' Matt. 18:19. Well that is how it happened.. I went to the altar, they came up behind me although I didn't know it and I was gloriously delivered. A woman I didn't know began instructing me to pray an hour a day & to listen to a series of tapes by Kenneth Copeland on freedom from fear. I listened to her and to the tapes and began a journey that has changed my life. I fell in love with God and His word.

I began asking the Lord to allow me to teach the things I was learning, which I have done for 26years. I teach anywhere someone will listen! I could not wait to tell people the truth of Who God is/ how He operates. Not everyone has wanted to hear me but the ones who have are strengthened. My most favorite thing to do is lay a scriptural foundation in peoples lives. Without the correct foundation how can anything be successfully built?

That's my story for now!

Also, please feel free to leave any comments on my blog site.

Sorry I haven't written sooner, I think I have gotten too busy. Throw in a holiday on top of my everyday stuff and I hit the wall.
I hope you read the last blog because this will follow that one. Remember I said God created us in His image and likeness and that He would train us up in the way we should go by developing us to train our senses to discern good and evil. Not know good and evil by experiencing pain but by His words leading and guiding us to train our senses to avoid the bad and enjoy the good. That so goes along with Romans 8:14, it reads that the ones led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. The ones allowing the Holy Spirit to lead, correct, instruct are the ones who become the mature sons. From the Garden till today our Father has been trying to get us all to follow Him, He needs us to be spiritually mature. Well hello! God the Father has had to deal with a lot of immature children, honestly how does He? Look at 11Timothy3: 15& 16, Paul says the holy scriptures are able to make you wise unto salvation. Salvation means healing, deliverance, rescue, help or aid. So he is saying that as you read the scriptures you will smarten up how to be safe in this world, how through Jesus we can avoid the pain the devil would like us to know. Then he says all scripture is given by inspiration of God and it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteous that the man or woman of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. In a simplification of that, we can say by us hearing the word, reading the word, following the Spirit we will be the mature sons of God who will grow up, be perfect through the word and finally be able to do all the good works we are called of God to accomplish. I have to be that person, I desire to follow the Spirit, to grow up and be the person the Father wants me to be, don't you? Well of course you do.
Religion has taught us that we will never be perfect until we get to Heaven, that is a lie. We can be becoming perfect right here and now by following His word. You know the bumper sticker that says I am not perfect just forgiven.... it is not scriptural! We can be becoming more and more perfected as we grow up in the word of God.

I love going back to the Garden of Eden to learn how things were suppose to be on the earth. I want to show you from Genesis 3:5 how the devil wanted mankind to know good and evil. The word 'know' means by painful experience. The enemy wanted us to 'know' or experience pain in our lives. While all along our dear Heavenly Father would have trained us quite another way. Looking at Hebrews 5:14b, it reads that the mature are those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. God never changes so His will in the New Testament was always His will even from the Beginning. God's intention was to train up Adam and Eve by obeying His words to them so He could mature them to train their senses, or exercise their senses so they would avoid evil. They would know " that's bad, don't touch it" or that is good, I can have it. God is good and NEVER wanted us to experience pain but wanted as a good Father to train us up in the way we should go. Religion has always taught He teaches us through hard things we go through, or He takes from us to help us empathize with others pains. You have to hate that, it is revolting to blame God Who is Love with the ways of the devil. I don't believe Adam and Eve were in the Garden long as it seems God didn't have time to have train their senses. Instead the enemy tricked them to believe his words instead of God's. Say yuck twice! Yuck, Yuck! If you would please look at the world today, you will notice that most people think that all the bad happening in their lives is somehow from God to train or teach them. Instead of resisting the devil who is behind the trouble, they receive it. Please don't be deceived. Let's let the Lord God train us up by obeying His Word and become mature to exercise our senses to discern both good and evil. We can avoid evil and escape. We can grow up into the image and likeness of God here on this earth. Well that is if we quit letting the devil trick us.

One of the most challenging things we will ever deal with in life is that God loves us. Everyone of us have to know that He knows us, all the bad and the ugly yet He loves us. That has been the hardest thing for me personally. I told you how I began to say from Deut. 6:4&5, Lord I love You with all my heart, with all my might, and with all my soul. Those words began to change my thoughts and feelings to agree with the words I was saying. You do know that His word coming out of my mouth allows Him to work. He is watching over His word to perform that word, right? Well then it is very important that we speak the word of God, literally echoing back to Him His truths. I think people say what is going on in their life instead of saying the promise back to Him. Okay back to believing that He loves me, I developed in that I loved Him but I was weak in that He loved me. My past was speaking too loud for me to get the truth of His love. I had to begin to say out loud & on purpose " I have known and believed the love you have for me" From 1st John 4:16 and also " Father, You love me as much as You love Jesus" from John 17:23b. I said it even though there was seemingly no real feel to it, yet knowing that His word in my mouth would bring it to pass. I am developing nicely, and will continue speaking His word. I believe He loves me and I want to grow more in that love, I am sure you do too.
I would love to hear back from you, feel free to write.

Most of us have grown up learning about God by religious teaching. Things like God teaches us through sickness or He will cause or use something bad to get selfish ways out of us, He may take your money so you can know what it feels like to be poor. (I think that is evil). I knew a woman who lost a daughter and believed God needed her in Heaven. My friend Kellie says religion is mean. I agree, but God is not, He is Love! Religion makes excuses to explain why we failed to receive something we were asking for, or why something bad came into our life. Religion usually makes it God's fault, making Him out as a bully. Religion says ,well all things work together for our good. Meaning bad or awful things can work for us. Please say yuck! I want to show you how when we are in trouble The Holy Spirit Who is our Teacher/Helper comes along beside us to help us, because He is good. He is THE Best Friend you will ever know. Look at Romans 8:26. It reads that the Holy Spirit also helpeth our infirmities. That means He takes hold together with us against the problem. He does not cause it, He helps us get it out of our lives. He is called the Helper. You have to like that. If we let Him or allow Him to lead us The Holy Spirit, Who knows everything about everything, will lead us right out of the problem. We have to know Who He is and what He does else we won't follow Him. Also we have to listen to Him with our spiritual ears not the ears on the sides of our head. Now Romans 8:27 reads that He living in our spirit, makes intercession for us according to the will of God/Love. Always The Holy Spirit is working for our good, only good. Please don't think sickness /death/calamity is from Him. No, He is good. Anyway with Him interceding for us, then all things work together for our good. I hope you got that, God is not religious and He needs us to know Him. He wants us to know who He is and who the devil is and not be confused in any situation by which one we are dealing with. God is Love and God is good. The devil is a liar, a thief, a murderer. Let's not get them confused again.

I hope you read the last blog because this goes with that teaching. When we were born again only the spirit man was changed, not the soul. I know you already know this but we need to be reminded. The soul is the mind, will ,emotions, the thinking and reasoning process, the want to, the memory. Our soul was not affected by being born again, that part of us has to be changed by the Word of God. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Good and Evil, He said in the day you eat you will die. Well they ate and they died, on the inside, the spirit that was to be in the image and likeness died. That is the reason we had to be born again, our spirit man had to come back into life. Death was lodged in it making us separated from the LIFE of God. Now that LIFE is in us, not everyday life but the LIFE that is in God. This is good news, are you excited? The LIFE of God is Zoe, that is in us. Jesus said My Zoe I lay down for you that My Zoe can be in you. Zoe is the very nature of God in your spirit, which if you allow that to lead you, will make you free from the old nature and cause you to prosper in every area of your life. Zoe is eternal life. We hear about eternal life and think it means life after death, if you think about it even the sinner will have life after death. It won't be good but the sinner never ceases to be and will be somewhere too. Spirits never cease to be, good or bad. Zoe is the Life and nature of God. One of Jesus purpose was to create a people with this life in them. You have asked Jesus into your heart and may not know that the Zoe of God is in you. The snake, the whisperer, the one using magic spell and enchantment speaks to your head ,
cause he still is trying to lead you, God wants you to not to fall for his lies. We are not to live anymore listening to our heads but are required to listen inside, to the Spirit of God speaking to our spirit. Listening to Him will cause Zoe Life to make us into the image and likeness, like the original purpose of God.

Remember God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden? His purpose was for them to use everything in the Garden to cover the whole earth, to cover the earth with all that He gave them in the Garden. That is so awesome to me, He gave them the very things they would need to use. By the way the Garden of Eden means voluptuous unending supply. Everything was available for them to use. The ONLY thing was they had to follow His words. The Bible says man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Well that is for us today as much as for them in the Garden. The only way to prosper in this life is to follow His word. You know the serpent came to Eve and lied to her. Serpent means snake but it also means magic spell, enchantment and whisperer in the Hebrew. No wonder she was deceived! Everything the devil whispers to us has enchantment on it that makes it 'seem true' or 'feel right' but it is a lie. Only the word of God is truth. God cannot lie and all the devil can do is lie. Jesus says he is a liar and the father of the lie. Say yuck! Now remember that we are created in the image and likeness of God. He is a spirit and like Him we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. He talked to Adam and Eve in their spirit, the hidden man, the inner man. The serpent talked to Eve by her soul, to her head. To this day the enemy talks to our head and God talks to our spirits. Most people can tell you all day long everything the enemy says but complain that God is not talking. They are listening like Eve to their head ears, not their spirit ears! Do you know what that means? You can begin to train yourself to listen inside. We can, like God originally purposed,live by every word that proceeds from His mouth. We can prosper, God is talking! He is a good Father leading His children, listen to Him on the inside. This is good news

Hi I am back. I am not totally rested but I am getting there. I had a great time in Branson. My longest time friend Tari went with me. She made me laugh constantly, usually at the most ridiculous things.
Everyone was asked to write a testimony of how Kenneth Copeland Ministries had affected their life. I wrote a short paragraph and the next day I was asked if I would mind being interviewed by the most wonderful lady who works for the ministries. Me! Me! I got to tell the ministry just how KCM had wonderfully changed my life. What an honor! I keep saying to myself, self, out of 3000 plus people you got to say thank you! Awesome! You should always give honor to your fathers in the faith.
I will write tomorrow, I have been with my grandchildren since I have been home and I am tired.
God bless, oh, remember He loves us! The enemy tries to makes us think He just tolerates us but that is a lie. Our Heavenly Father LOVES us. It is a love where we are always on the forefront of God's mind and He is waiting for us to call on Him in faith. In faith and using His word, that is the way to operate in His kingdom. He is the best of all that is.

Later

I am leaving for Branson Missouri this week to attend a conference where Kenneth and Gloria Copeland will be ministering. God used Kenneth to change my life 26 years ago. I was a young 30 year old wife and mother of 3. I had been oppressed with agoraphobia for 7 horrible years. My life was ruled by tormenting fear. I was delivered from the fear at an altar in a church in Indiana, a woman gave me 5 tapes by Kenneth Copeland titled Freedom from fear. I listened to the tapes and for the first time in my life heard the truth of God's love. I had grown up around religious lies that had infected my life with fear. Kenneth taught God's Kingdom not religion, and I loved hearing it! He taught me who God is and what He requires. I began to know God because of Kenneth's teachings. I am so grateful for their ministry. The excellence, integrity and especially the love they live in have influenced my life.
I will write when I get back, I'll let you know all I learn! I would like to pray for you so while I am off being ministered to, The Dearest King will keep you. Father, thank you for these that read about You on this Blog. I am asking You to strengthen them with Power, with the Holy Spirit. He is the One working in them to will and to do Your will. He is the One who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think. That Your Holy Spirit would lead them and guide them, telling them things before anything would happen that You wouldn't want so they can take authority in Jesus Name to stop it. Help them to see You in Truth from Your word so You can work in their lives unhindered. Oh Master, You are Love,unfailing Love....You are the kindest and best Friend we will ever know. Pour out Your Spirit on them, fill them because they are Yours. Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in these lives. I like asking You for them cause Your will is awesome.

I love listening to Jesus in Matt.5,6 &7. I was reading the Beatitudes (thats a funny word we don't normally use). He is telling us how to live in The Kingdom! No wonder we are always saying that God's ways are so different than the way we have been raised. Jesus is telling us how to think Kingdom not natural life. The Kingdom of God is our new born again life. You know, where you love your enemies, bless people who are creepy to you, forgive because you want God to forgive you. Where if you will hunger and thirst after His ways, He will fill you! Fill you with Himself!!!!
My favorite Beatitude is the pure in heart will see God. My translation of that is, if you will keep your motives, words, attitudes right before God you will begin to see His ways/leadings. We can know what He is doing and all He is requiring of us. I need that. I like teaching that we are like a pipe that God wants to pour His Glory and Power through and how clean or clogged we are inside will determine how much of Him pours out of us. To me that means I have to be quick to repent, walk in love, to imitate God as I use to imitate my own dad. I have to know His word to know His will and His ways. It really can be the most fulfilling life.

Hi All,
I told you how after finding the scripture in Deut.6:4&5 which is to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, and with all our souls and with all our might, that I began saying to God those very words. Not because I FELT them but because His words said it. I was learning that prayer is repeating His words back to Him so He could bring it to pass in my life. I think most people have learned to speak to God the problem and hope after making Him feel sorry for them, that then maybe He'll move. Well let's be honest, that doesn't work! Pray His word, of course, that gives you the responsibility to find out the word. I love that He gives us the right to use His word and come out of every thing that would keep us in bondage. If you are new at this begin saying back to Him these scriptures; Deut. 6 4&5 , Psalms34:4,9,19 , Psalms 50: 14&15& 23 , Psalms 91 ( my most favorite )Psalms 103:2:6 . Start with those, say them back to Him and watch Him move in your life. Know He LOVES us and wants to help us but we have to know His way!
After saying " I love You with all my heart, and with all my soul, and with all my might", I began to feel love for Him. Imagine being afraid of God your whole life then just out of obedience, speaking His word to Him that a lovely change would happen on the inside. That is the perfect love that 1Johns1:5 and 1John4:18 write about. This works, this is success

hi

When the Father God created man, His original purpose was that mankind would act in His image and likeness as His representatives on the earth. We have got to KNOW this, else we become religious instead of operating like God. The creator wants us to govern earth just like He governs the universe. We must know we are to be Kingdom minded not religious. Jesus announce the Kingdom of God has come, no mention of religion. He would say the Kingdom of God is like... or the Kingdom of God is... . Why? cause Jesus knew that mankind had become religious and lost sight of God's original purpose. The enemy has worked to reduced our thinking to just going to church on Sunday, singing a few songs, saying we love each other with the love of the Lord and listening to a message. While all the time our Father wants us representing Him in the earth. Certainly not looking or acting like the world. Not selfish like the world but loving like He is loving. Meeting the needs of the person nearest to you, that is what neighbor means. That is exactly what Jesus did, everywhere He went He met needs. Healed everyone, fed people, cast devils out of people, and my favorite raised the dead! What would happen if we really believed God wants us representing Him just like Jesus did? I will tell you, it would be a lot of kingdom representatives going about doing good and healing all that are oppressed of the devil cause God is with us! God is not religious, He is the King of a Kingdom. Let's change our thinking.

Are you changed?

Everyone of us have heard at sometime that Jesus died for our sins and that we need to accept Him as our own personal savior. Or we were in a church service somewhere and heard " if you die today where will you spend eternity?" Too often people quoted a prayer because they didn't want to go to hell yet there was no difference in the persons life. This is one of the worst mistakes we have made in church-dom. We all should have heard that God ,Who is Love, created us to be in dominion on this earth. His purpose was for us to rule earth as He rules the entire universe. Literally imitating Him, like kids imitate their dads. We should have been told that the devil deceived Adam and Eve and is presently the god of this world. We should have been told that Love Himself sent His only Son to die instead of us, so we could live free from the bondage of the devil. Also that we are delivered from the devil but not immune to his attacks. The church should have told us that we are in a Kingdom that is in this world but not like it, so stop acting like the world. We should have been told how to resist the devil, his ways, his lies, his fears, his threats. Father God needs us to imitate Him in this world.

Hi All,
When I first began to know God and it takes time I read in Deut.6:5 to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our might. I understood that is His will but I knew I didn't. Yet something inside of me just knew to begin to say those words to Him. I would say everyday at least once a day "Father God I love you with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my might." At that time I didn't check to see if I really felt it, it just became my prayer to Him. Speaking His Word to Him changed me and my feelings. Over the years I have experienced His love, mine for Him and His for me! I believe the best prayers we can pray is speaking His words back to Him. Too many times we say wrong things that hinder Him. Speaking His words make us be successful, cause He watches over His words to perform them. Of course that gives us the responsibility to find His word and say them. I like that kind of responsibility.

His way is the highway

Me again, I think people should know that God is rigidly righteous. He wants our lives ordered His way. If we live as His Bible teaches us, we can expect His protection, provision, and help. This has been my experience. I grew up so afraid of Him but after studying His word, ways, and commands I found that obedience allows Him to be able to show me His goodness. Listen, this is wonderful! God is Love and wants to be good to us. He is totally hindered to do so if we are not ordering our lives like He wants. Jesus said in His own earthly life that He only did the things He saw His Father do or say. By the way He did very well and perfectly pleased His Father!

life is good, death is not

Hi again,
I think most people think that there is a day that they have to die. That somewhere, it is written that this is THE Day. Yet that is not what I find in scripture. I read where living our lives in respect to God and His Bible will add days and years to life here. Even honoring our parents gives long life and living in God's righteousness will deliver you from death ,That is found in proverbs11:4b. I lived in so much fear before finding the Truth in the Bible. It is the truth that makes you free. Not any truth makes you free but the Bible truth does. You can be free from fear, anxiety, worry or whatever is your own suffering. God wants you free from all pain and suffering. He even says in 1John 4:18 fear has torment. He is Love and doesn't want us in any torment. I like that about Him!

2nd blog

Hi again,

Remember I said yesterday that God is all about giving life? Well ,I did not know that growing up. In fact I was taught that every death was either His doing or for His purpose. Upon careful search in the Bible I see that death is considered by God as an enemy. The church world has called death the ultimate healing. Which is true? The Bible or the people? I am going with the Bible. God knows! His Word says in Hosea 4:6 " My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge". I have seen people destroyed haven't you? We cannot go past what we know or believe. If our knowledge and belief system is wrong then we are in trouble.

First time Blog

Hi Everyone,
This is my first ever, I have never even read a blog.

I want to blog about my own experience in developing a Friendship with God. I have always enjoyed telling people about Him so this is a great avenue to begin. Everything I learned as a child about Him scared the tar out of me. An example is the Lay me down to sleep payer. Do you know it? I pray the Lord my soul to keep if I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take. Religion has taught us God could take us at any time and you just never know what He will do. Do you know that is not His will? His will is life, long life. Abundant to the full ,till it overflows life! He is all about life, never death. Too bad His people don't know that.
