Merry Christmas Blessings 2012

Here is my Inspiration of God's Greatest Gift 
 
The Gift
By LisaMe!
 
The best gift of all
you can't find it in a Mall
or under any tree
And most importantly of all
it is absolutely free
It was rare and yet so perfect
Well thought out and planned
In the form of a small baby
who grew to be a man
Fore told of by the prophets
His day was sure to come
to cleanse the world and
set us free from all that
we had done
His life was sent to save us
and in the end it did
you ask me how could this be so
He died so we could live
He gave us life eternally upon a cruel cross
And even when all hope was gone
we were not left for loss

The message was so very clear
right from the very start
this child who grew to be a Man
He had the purest heart

People came from everywhere
just to hear Him talk
His stories were so wonderful
for miles and miles they'd walk

Crowds had gathered all through towns
on hillsides and on shores
with every message that he gave
they always wanted more

Along with His fine speaking
something else had happened too
The lame could walk, the blind could see,
the sick became well too!

Even some who though were dead
were raised for us to see
that nothing is impossible
for those who just believe

Believe in what you just might ask
as this story continues on
Who is this Son this special child
 And where was he born.


The angels told the night he came
He is the Son of God
He came to free the world from sin
And peace on earth to bring

Angels sang and shouted
"Glory to Our King"
shepherds came, wise men too
Bearing special gifts to see

The Son 
The angels said was laying in a manager
This tiny little baby
was not in a pretty bed

Nor did he have lace blankets
wrapped about his head
He was lying in a manager
just as the angels said

His crib was just
a trough with hay
that lay beneath
his head

Now this is how the story goes
there is so much more that's true
this is just a little of the gift
as told from me to you

You too can have this special gift
Just close your eyes in prayer
Ask the Lord into your heart
 to wash away your cares



This special little baby that grew to be a man ..
You see his name is Jesus Christ
He died so that all may understand
Eternal life is his perfect plan



Note: This was written back in 2000 .. shared many times.. published in A Candy For All Seasons .. by LisaMe!

Was demonstrated over Many years ago .. 
The message never gets old.. We celebrate the birth of Christ every year .. 
Christmas has been so commercialized .. Jesus is the reason for the season ..
 He is the gift that God sent to the World.. for the forgiveness of our sins.. to give us eternal life .. 
The world has turned the celebration into a  world-wind of presents .. and have lost the presence of God .. 
May this spark a reminder in your hearts as you share.. 
The Gift of His Love this year .. 
Love LisaMe!

November Chapter 11 Where are Your Eyes


See
What the Lord wants us to
See

What is Our future
What do we SEE

Too many times we get in a hurry and miss  
VERY IMPORTANT THINGS

In Genesis 3:5-7 we see the first time the word eyes is used in the bible.

 The serpent is telling Eve your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. (Deception) Next it is pleasing to her eye, so she gave into temptation and ate of it then gave it to Adam.  Their eyes were then opened (to sin) and they hid from God.  What are your eyes seeing that could lead you to sin? And cause you to hide from God. Do we not know that nothing can hide us from God?  He sees all things.  


What are you looking at? What do you see? How do you see it?
We all see things differently, but the one thing that is constant and sure is the Word of God. It is living and powerful, as told in Hebrew 4:12 sharper than a two-edge sword. Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, so let’s see what they Word of God says about our eyes.
There are 511 verses using the word eyes in the bible using the New Kings James version. 

It is said that when you look into someone’s eyes you look into their soul.
If this is true, what do your eyes look like? What if someone could really see what you have been looking at? Or what you are thinking?  Does it please God?  I am not here to judge. God has shown me a lot lately about how easy it is to call judgment on someone, because of his or her lifestyle. But what the word says is we should all judge ourselves, the bible says let us examine ourselves.

The last time the word eyes is used here in Revelations 21:4 says God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

So next time you roll a candy eyeball in your mouth
May you be reminded
That the Lord has His eyes on you
He is coming back to a righteous people
Be found with your eyes on Him

Let’s Pray: Father God, be with each person who reads this. Open their understanding to your word; open their understanding to your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ, who died willingly for our sins; so that we would be set free from sin and death. Forgive us of our sins. Help us as we repent and turn from our sins; teach us to walk in your ways. In Jesus Name, Amen!

October 2012 A Candy For All Seasons

Chapter 10 
 In Disguise

Are you 
In disguise 
As 
A Wise Guy

Be Transparent
God
Can see right through 
YOU

 Allow Him
To Change
Your 
World
Today

Words Are Powerful
Speak Life
And
Live an Abundant Life

Dem Bones
Ezekiel 37: 1-14

Speak life into your situations
No matter how dead it may seem
Look at Ezekiel
God raised a whole army for him
Out of dry bones
Ask, Seek, And Believe
Then Receive
God is the Only one who can do it

*
The Lord has given us the authority to speak to our situations, divorce, broken marriages, smoking, drinking, drug abuse, jobs, rebellious children, anything you can think of that needs healing and restoring. We can speak life or death to them. Today why don't you choose Life? Allow Jesus Christ to wash away your sins, and to make you whole.


Father God, teach us to speak with boldness over our situations like you did for Ezekiel. Thank you Lord that you have placed your Spirit within those who seek you. We praise you for life and that because of Jesus we are able to have it more abundantly. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Secret Mission ~ Monday, May 24, 2010

by LisaMe with A Candy Ministry on Monday, May 24, 2010 at 8:32pm
A Secret Mission

Prearranged for the Lord
I can smile...
knowing how Awesome God is..
He brings us to places
to shine upon the faces
of those that He loves ...
Ministry begins where sinners are
It doesn't need a building with a steeple
Or a Church filled with people
For God to show himself real

We must venture out
into the byways
and onto the highways of life

Note to self: Well maybe it's not a secret mission; but a God given mission for sure and very confidential.

It is not about you or about me... but about the will of God ... His ways are not our ways .. His will is accomplished through our obedience ..

As an added bonus I got to visit with my mother and daughter .. on the way home ... Humm I think the Lord has ministered to me in a way I did not expect .. isn't that just like Him ...

A Candy Ministry could open the door for many healed relationships between parent and child .. forgiveness, love and respect could be restored through them ... learning to Trust in the Lord. Even as I write this .. I am amazed at how the Lord is showing it to me ..

New King James Version (NKJV)

Romans 8

Free from Indwelling Sin

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Sonship Through the Spirit

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

From Suffering to Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[b] with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”[c]
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
