1 Corinthians 15:57
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Here is the Song

Victory In Jesus
I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.

Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory.


Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory.
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory.


Chorus
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

Surely Get Wet

If I am not aware that it’s cold outside and don’t wear a coat when going out, I will surely get cold. If I don’t use an umbrella when I go outside when it's raining, I will surely get wet.
Sometimes we walk to close to edge of a muddy deep hole and if we are not aware we fall in, and we notice its spinning around and around, ( like a toilet flushing ) we can hardly see the top because we have fell in so deep ( we get caught up in our thoughts, feelings regarding the situation in front of us or around us, and sometimes both at the same time ) into our self perceived problems of life.( the Mud gets all over us and we feel like we are drowning)
Our loved one’s that see us there will try to help in there own way, If we let them. (some people don’t have loved ones.)
We are fortunate for all the love that’s in our family. 
A rope is thrown down…, but our hands are so slippery we can’t hold on, or we can’t even see that they are trying to help. Because we are (too caught up, entrenched in our bad thoughts and or feelings) we even hurt (Say or do Bad things to them) the ones that are trying to help, by pulling them down in there with us. They are trying to help but they get caught up as well. But thanks, be to God for those who will gather together (Pray and use Gods wisdom) and use a long Ladder making sure it’s anchored down so we can be reached. But we will still have to be able to get up the ladder, in which we will need strength, or strong loved ones to carry us. I thank God also for the strong loved ones who use the Godly wisdom that has been given them, and we are able to get out.
We need to continue to pray for one another.

How Things Work!

To most people this is not something that their interested in; But, to me its one of the most important things. I know that God made all of us different, to compliment one another, with different gifts and abilities. I like to help people understand. To do this I need to know myself, which requires lots of research and study time.
I like to learn and have clear understanding.
Getting and taking the time, with balancing my life, well that’s a whole different matter. My flesh & my emotions is something I desire to completly have control over.
I have to remember that (God will make a way even when there seems like there is no way.)
I like to design. Having an idea, (doing the research and work, which I sometimes would rather assign some of it to others) to bring about a plan and see it through unto completion. This brings me joy.
I also need to remember that there is a adversary out there working against me, In which I need some Left and Right Guards ( a football analogy ) so I can Throw the ball, and when I do throw it, I throw it the correct distance. Also I throw it accurately hitting the target. And knowing the ( Receiver) has to be in the open and ready, Praying that he will make it all the way ( making a touch down ) fighting that good fight of faith.
With some people though, it doesn’t work so well. We are Working with their desires, and their free will to choose to put their heart in it or not. When they haven’t completely made Jesus their Lord, and don’t understand how important it is to get to the other side, ( The Receiver ) so to speak, As if there are blinded to understanding. He so wants to shape and mold each one into that wonderful masterpiece he desires them to be.
Wanting to help in the process, being used of him to help them “ to know, and to grow “ ( As one Pastor used to say that recently went home to be with the Lord ). To be led by the Holy Spirit, not my flesh is so important to me. It’s the only way it really works well. So I need more and more of the word in me, more Godly wisdom and understanding. Being an A-type person is challenging sometimes.

Get in The Game

Faith without works, What does that mean to you?

This is what came to me when I was praying about it.

Team Effort, after we have Joined “ The Team “ we need to roll up sleeves so to speak, and get to work. Finding out what position to play, Share the gifts ( the Blessings ) we have been given with others. I been thinking in the terms of Football lately. I don’t want to be just a bench warmer ( Faith without Works ). What position does God want me to play, After consistently suiting up and going to practice it seems that after a while I am able to see better what positions I am gifted in to play. It doesn’t mean I can’t play other positions. Practice, Study ( Learn the Rules of the Game )and get them in my heart, Learn how the opposition works, Practice, Practice, Study ( Renewing My mind ), Play with my whole heart, Play to win…….Remember that each position is God’s most valuable player. I need to Have Faith in the Coach ( Our Lord Jesus ) and that the plans he has for me will always be what is best for me. I’m so glad that Jesus invited me to join the greatest game of all, and I choose to join the team in which I am now in training. Praise be to God!

Are you " Plugged In "

Have you ever had an electrical appliance that wasn’t working, and all that was wrong with it was that it wasn’t connected (plugged in) to the wall elec. outlet.
