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!

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.
