Thy word is a lamp unto my feet!!!

A lamp unto my feet!!!

Psalm 119:105 states " Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep your righteousness. 

As I take a good look at my life and the mistakes that I have made I thank the Lord that I did not end up dead from some ignorant person or died from drunk driving or murdered in some gruesome cruel and evil way. The times have definitely changed. In my day I felt secure saying whatever I felt like saying without thinking that someone may shoot me for uttering the truth. Nowadays men carry guns. Especially the younger generation. Depending on which city or area you live in there is bound to be a shooting somewhere. It just doesn't feel safe to go to a club or party without someone acting a fool. I heard a story of a young lady being asked her phone number by a guy, she told him no so he pulled a gun on her. Wow, all for not giving him her number. Maybe he got told no too many times by too many women. But still the seriousness of the evil that is out there in the streets is not being heeded. 

I have realized that we are either walking in the light of Gods' word which leads to righteousness or we are walking in darkness. If we are telling lies, ( a small lie is not inexcusable) committing fornication, stealing, killing,  homosexuality, having sex with married men, having sex with married women,basically adultery, drinking and getting drunk,using drugs, gossiping, treating our brothers and sisters wrong, not having true love for one another, making plans to cheat, scheme or swindle others of their hard earned money, using others for gain, giving false report about others, manipulating others, sorcery, performing witchcraft, all of these sins means that we are walking in darkness. If you believe otherwise, please don't fool yourself. To walk in darkness means that we have not overcome the sins of the world. There is only one way to overcome the darkness and allow the Most High to be a light unto our feet and that is through Jesus Christ. When we wake up each morning and read Gods word he sends his Holy Spirit to guide us. He also sends his angels to protect us from evil. There is no way to live in this wicked and evil world and not have God and be sin free. It is impossible. So in order to live a righteous life we must put on the whole armor of God. His word is not only a light unto my feet to guide my steps but his word is also a shield to those who believe. I thank the Lord that he has me where I am right now. This is not the time nor is it the season to be playing around. The times are too evil. If you choose to have a one night stand, you have chosen to acquire aids, herpes or any  venereal Disease that is out here. Life is too short to take chances. If we had stayed in the word regardless of what society threw at us we would not have so many children out of wedlock. Many more households would be married. We would not have so many single mothers raising their children alone. As we can all see children need both parents and God in there lives. Gods word teaches us that if 2 people ( male and female) are overcome with each other they should marry. Society teaches us to use a condom instead of instilling abstinence. Gods word teaches us that our father is holy so therefore we should also live holy since he is our father. Society  teaches us that we are in control of ourselves so we do as thou will. God says" let his will be done, not my will but his will. If we keep letting society dictate what we should and should not do we will live a life full of misery here on earth and a permanent home in hell. There is such a big difference to what God ordained for his people. His word says that we are stiff necked people. We refuse to hearken unto his words. Right now I am reading Jeremiah and what I am learning is that God gets tired of our sinning and wrongdoings. He sends his prophets to warn us but we refuse to listen. The bible warns us of coming destruction for disobeying his word. In Jeremiah the Lord pronounced 70 years of captivity in Babylon for being disobedient. Why wait for Gods punishment when all we have to do is repent of our sins. He is gracious and forgiving. I do not want to see myself being destroyed because of disobedience and I certainly do not want to see you be destroyed either. 

Romans10:21 All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and Gainsaying people.

St Joseph !!!

St Joseph

Biography; 

St Joseph first appearing in the gospel of Mathew and Luke. St Joseph was the earthly father of Jesus and the husband of the Virgin Mary.

Wow, I am so flabbergasted at the thought of using a statue as a last resort to sell a house. 

 This sounds so unbelievable to me. I find it so hard to believe and I identify it as being equal to witchcraft, and voodoo. The bible speaks of witchcraft and we are commanded by God not to practice these things. 

Leviticus 20:6 - And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

Isaiah 8:19 - And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 

All statues are man made. They have eyes but they cannot see, ears they have but they cannot hear. They have legs, arms and a mouth but they are unable to eat, breath or walk. They have no soul. 

I work at a Christian book store and these statues are sold for one purpose only. When a person is unable to sell his or her house the statue is purchased. It is then  taken home where a hole is dug in the ground outside the home and the statue is placed upside down and covered in the ground. In my opinion this is witchcraft. A person is now relying on a statue to perform an act. Everyone who has come in to purchase these statues swear by this and refuses to listen to what God's word says about things like this. 

To rely on something man made shows me that people have given up dependency and belief in the creator and is seeking other alternatives for the outcome of their lives. As people we want instant gratification, as if God is magic and he should be working on our time instead of us being patient and waiting on his timing. I have learned that there is a lesson to be learned while waiting. So while we wait the Lord is working it out to our benefit. We cannot see it all but that is why life is a mystery. God himself is a mystery and all we have to do is follow his commandments, believe in his  will for our lives, and he will heal, bless and restore us. I cannot say that I am a believer of the almighty and then turn and do witchcraft. God and witchcraft does not mix. I cannot go to the dead for answers about the living. The bible specifically states that God is a God of the living not the dead. So whatever problems arise in life I hope to call on my God in prayer and in praises. The praises go up and the blessings come down.
