"SHACKLE"S"

Anything that serves to prevent freedom of procedure, thought, etc.

a ring or other fastening, as of iron, for securing the wrist, ankle, etc.; fetter.

   

To be free is a choice and yet we fall into those pits that keep us in bondage beyond physical, we are held in our emotions and psychological too, and yet we know that we know that we are set free. Recently I have been going through something that has hurt me far more deeper then I thought it could and I have allowed this situation keep me in bondage for almost two weeks, I have cried, I not eaten, I have prayed and I have journaled and yes I have slept more in the past two weeks then I have in the past month (I am a night owl, sleeping not what I do)

I have also gotten quiet and reserved who I am naturally has been affected because of what has happened and I have fed into it because of the BONDAGE that I was allowing to take over. This morning I woke up and I was still feeling heavy hearted and I was going through all the things that has transpired over the past few weeks and I can honestly say that this should not have gotten this bad but unfortunately it has, in knowing the TRUTH of GOD'S WORD and WHO HE is in my life, There is a time and season for everything, ALL storms will pass, growth will happen and lessons will be learned, I know what GOD has called me for, I know my responsibility to HIM and HIM alone and yet in these past weeks I have allowed what could have been a pit of Depression over shadow who I am in CHRIST JESUS...I am no longer captive, I have been set free and I praise HIM for that, I have no shackles holding me any more, JESUS broke them..THANK YOU JESUS!! 

Today I declare victory, I will NO LONGER allow this to keep me in bondage to the strongholds of man, nor to myself and that is what has happened....I chose this day to overcome the pit of Depression and to shake the shackles off and walk in the love and grace and mercy of JESUS CHRIST!! 

What shackles are holding you captive by self inflicting or by man?

Decide this day to shake them off, be free because you know what you are!!

Many Blessings 

 

The Ministry of Christ 1000 Days

Good Morning my fellow book reader's,
 Do I have a review for you!! The Ministry of Christ 1000 Days...I could not put this down...It is a right now word for those seeking to know who JESUS is, who have questions and just unsure  to ask, this is also for the seasoned Christian who has been asking there has to be more to this life then just go in and out, day by day, feeling restless!
At the end of each chapter there are questions to challenge you, to help you be honest with yourself, to help you break through the restlessness you have been feeling. There is also a bible study in the back to go even deeper...something I plan to do, for me this book has opened up even more to the life of CHRIST, We all know HIS ministry and what HE did on the cross for us...but Jonathan Falwell takes it even deeper....This is a keeper and it is also one you pass around and even buy to give to those in your family, circle of friends...

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

If you are seeking change, trust me and read this book, you will be so happy that you did, i am sure am...couldn't put it down!!!! 

Blessings

Sheep..

Hello All,

I hope this finds you well today. A couple of weeks ago I was up late and I was searching for something to watch on one of my Christian channels and as I was about to give up, I was right in time to hear a sermon on Sheep. For sometime now I have been really heavy hearted and over the last few days it has become very apparent as to why...Relationships are hard...each one of us have many relationships...some are closer then others, some are as parents, some are brother and sister, the list of the various types of relationships are endless and different in each situation. 

Which brings me to the children of GOD....did you know that SHEEP is mentioned over 500 times in the bible...that says something!! With that this is what I wanted to share today:

The Lambs Provision:

"Four requirements for lying down"

1) Because sheep are timid creatures they must be free from fear  (FEAR)

2) Because sheep are social they must be free from friction with other sheep

 (TENSION)

3) They must be free from flies and parasites in order to relax (AGGRAVATIONS)

4) They must be free from hunger (HUNGER)

Scriptures for each word above:

FEAR:

Isaiah 43:1, 41:13

Jeremiah 31:3

Luke 12:7, 32

TENSION:

Psalms 133:1

John 13:35

1John 3:14-16

Matthew 18 

AGGRAVATIONS:

Psalm 119:165

Philippians 4:6

1 Thessolonians 5:18

James 1:2

HUNGER:

Psalm 37:25

Matthew 6:31-32

Psalm 23:2

In Closing look at Revelation 7:14-17

Are you willing to let your SHEPHERD, THE LAMB free you from FEAR, TENSION, AGGRAVATION, and HUNGER?

There are two commitments:

1) Grazing first thing in the morning, so you can be watered with the dew of the HOLY SPIRIT

2) Allowing GOD to lead you day by day

My sister and brothers this is a message to my self as well and I plan on doing this...we ALL need each other, in good and in bad...in season and out, through tears and laughter....WE ARE RELATIONAL CREATURES...will always be great, NO...its not suppose to be because its in all these we grow and mature even more.

The SHEPHERD (JESUS) loves all so much, HE laid HIS life down for us so we may live and have eternal life....how our life is lived out here is all up to us...I don't want to be a lost sheep, I want to be within the fold and by doing that we must choose to just LAY DOWN...when we do, OUR RELATIONSHIPS WILL FLOURISH!!!! 

Love ya'll, many blessings
