Chapter 5

God's Plan

It was God's Plan

To Create man

He created him

With the dirt

From the garden floor

 

He created man

With the dirt

From the garden

 

How fitting

To talk about

The Body of Christ

And

The Garden

In the same

Chapters

 

Can you see

How they fit

Together

 

Genesis 1:1

 In the Beginning God created

the heavens and the earth:

 

So let's consider

The earth

The condition of the soil

Is important

 

Isaiah 28:23-29

Does he keep turning 

his soil and breaking the clods?

 

 

We must prepare the soil (our hearts) to receive the seed

 

What we plant is what we will grow

It is important to ask

And

Important to know

 

Yes this is only the beginning

The Battle is On!

Today is the First day of March 

Are you 

Prepared for the Battle

As we look

At Chapter 3

We will 

SEE

What the Battle

Is 

All

About

And 

Who 

Is

The 

Enemy

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

The Whole Armor of God

Ephesians 6

Ephesians 6:10-20 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

 

February 2013 ~ Chapter 2 ~ A Season of Love

 What's Love Got to do with it!

The World says 

February 14th is Valentines Day

A Day to Celebrate Love

The Bible Teaches

Love is to be

Celebrated

Every Day

 We should Put on Love Everyday

Colossians 3:14

  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection

 Love is Everything 

 John 3:16   For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

John 15:17 this is my command: Love one another. This was Jesus’ Greatest Commandment.

I Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

Things we are to 

Take/Put off

Colossians 3:8,9

  But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. ⁹ Do not lie to one another

Character of the New Man

^{Colossians 3:12} Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; ¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. ¹⁴ But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. ¹⁵ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

To Me

The Christian Home

^{Colossians 3:18}  

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

^{Colossians 3:19}

 Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.

^{Colossians 3:20} 

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

Colossians 3:21

 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

^{Colossians 3:22}

  Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. ²³ And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, ²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

 Trust and Obey

For there

Is

No other Way

Father God.. teach us to Love .. how you Loved us.. You sent us your one and only son .. to save us from a life of sin .. to give us eternal life ..  Help us to embrace the Great Commandment .. to Love 

 

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!

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 ..
