Wake Up

I am thankful to God to be able to live in America. I am proud to be an American Who Trusts In GOD. That is posted on every email I send AND every envelope that leaves this house. It has been laid on my heart to write this.


Wake Up

God made this world.
^Hebrews 3:4 (NKJV)^
For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.^

We have forgotten that we are allowed to live in this world because of God's will for us. It is His plan that we are supposed to be carrying out, not ours. It is not about us! We are here to bring Him glory. God has 'allowed' us to prosper in this country. We have, until the last several years, put God first and allowed Him to be the foundation of this country. But now we have asked Him to leave our country. We have seen immoral things and made them good. We have made it ok to kill, lie, and steal. We have no more compassion or love. It is a 'me' mentality. And we have let it all happen and made it normal. That is not normal. It seems this country has lost it's way. We used to stand up for the little guy. We used to help one another. There used to be love in this place. Where did it go?


^Matthew 22:37-40 (NKJV)^ 37 Jesus said to him, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”^
If you do these things, everything else will fall into place!!


^Matthew 24:12 (NKJV)^
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.^


^1 Corinthians 13:1-3 The Greatest Gift^
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.^


^Psalm 16:2(KJV)^
O my soul, you have said to the LORD,“You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”^


I just wish that people would 'get it'. God has allowed us to prosper. With out Him we can do nothing and are nothing. If He takes His hand from us we will cease to be. He loves us, even though some turn against Him, refuse to even acknowledege that He exists. He loves all of us anyway. It costs you nothing to love and care about your fellow human beings. And even if it does cost you, God will bless you more than you gave.


^Luke 6:38(NKJV)^
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”^


If you disobey Him, which we are continuing to do in this country,


^Deuteronomy 28:15 (NKJV) Curses on Disobedience^
15 “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:^


And we wonder what has happened to this place! We asked for it. We need to get back to letting God have control.




^Matthew 19:26 (NKJV^
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”^


^Joshua 24:15 (NKJV)^
15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”^


I would rather spend my life living as if God is real and find out in the end there isn't God, than to live my life as there is no God and find out in the end that He is Real. I know that God is real. There are too many things in this life and this world to let you see Him. His hand is with every good thing.


^Psalm 16:2(NKJV)^
O my soul, you have said to the LORD,“You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”^


^Philippians 4:13(NKJV)^
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.^

Please take the time to really consider the words written here. This is my opinion. But there is scripture to back up what I believe. LOVE. Love is the key. Not the warm fuzzy love you have for family or close friends. Just a general love and caring. Not wanting harm to come to anyone. Treating others the way you want to be treated. A kind word or gesture. Love them first. You WILL be blessed. Love them no matter what you may get from them in return. People are not used to kindness any more. They may think you are up to something else. They may not recieve it well. DO IT ANY WAY. You never know, it could change their life. I KNOW it will change yours.


^2 Samuel 22:31 (NKJV)^I am thankful to God. I praise Him. God is good all the time, All the time God is good.

31 As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.^

  2. Amen Deb, You are so right. The words are given to us as a guideline and we have turned away from our guideline and allowed our own minds to rule. God wants to be FIRST. Our country is putting Him last. Then we want to blame Him for the way we disregard Him. Seems a little contradictory. You got it right about the LOVE too. If you have the LOVE of Christ in your heart, you want nothing more than to please Him. The LOVE of Christ is so awesome it's much more than the mushy fuzzy love you talked about. It is a way of life that surpasses all understanding. It just feels right :o). Many Blessings to you my Sister in Christ. I Love You, Chrissy
