One in Messiah Congregation
Writings of Louise 2021
And you’ll know you are alive
We’ll read the Word
And we’ll Know we’ve Heard
Together we will know
How to
DO HIS WORD
Meet us online at 6:45
We’re keeping God’s commandments to the very end
That is the message we want to send
Start in Genesis it is the first
We learned how God created the earth
To get a glimpse of heaven
Read Revelation
Everything in between is certainly for you
God will tell you just what to do.
So be sure you DO IT!
Loving each other as we have heard
Every day we will walk in His ways
And keep His commandments all of our days
Together…
As One
in Messiah
3/5/21
In His Word He promised
Our souls to keep
If we make the choice
To listen to His voice
And not listen to any other.
Shabbat Shalom
How God loves Israel we are told
So awesome it is that we can know it
He sent His Son to show it
So, we read together that we can show Him
Together…
3/14/21
For the last one I won’t shed a tear
A new beginning, I can see
With God a happy one it will be
All His promises He always will keep
When you lay your head down tonight
Sleep peacefully till the morning light.
Undated
Some by plane and some
by car
We come to keep Passover
for this year
And Feast of Unleavened
Bread is almost here
In one accord we honor
Him
Together
It starts at the setting of the sun,
At the beginning of this special day,
To read in His Word and
learn more of His way.
With our computers we can start,
Rejoicing
Together!
We are reminded how God made it very clear,
To Keep his
commandments that he wrote all alone,
With His own finger He wrote them on tables of
stone.
Now we keep them with our whole hearts because
by Yeshua’s blood
we are atoned.
And in the letter of Acts when God’s power came
down,
On the Feast of Weeks, it was heard all over
town.
God never changes; He is always the same,
So, what will we do with this Power in His Name?
Together…
Last night as I was thinking of the last few
days, and the beautiful flowers I had planted, how in all the work, and
the pleasure of it, only by the creation of God could I enjoy any of it.
Each flower and plant has its own unique beauty,
and the variety is endless.
Who but our God, the mighty Creator, could have
thought to give His children this wonderful gift.
When I look around me and see His handiwork, I
think of Matthew 6 how the lilies of the field are more beautiful than Solomon
in all
his array.
Since
I cannot make a flower or a tree, or even a rose petal, I thank my God that He
can!
4/30/2021 Week 4 of 7 to count before the Feast
of Weeks
And we thank God that our fellowship is sweet.
We freshen up our minds with the washing of the
Word,
To begin a new day with what we have heard.
Together…
5/8/2021 Week 5 of 7 to count before
the Feast of Weeks
Because of them many people were reformed,
God is the same today and He will touch
our lives
As David said in the Psalms that His Word
revives.
In the gospels Yeshua said
“If you only believe”,
Then because of His Word we surely can
receive…
His
Miracles
5/15/2021: 6th Sabbath of the 7 we are to count
to the Feast of Weeks
When thoughts begin to
roll around in your head,
Remember in II Corinthians
10 where long ago it was said,
The good ones you keep
and the others you cast down,
Because if you don’t you
could cause God to frown.
Think on those things
that are clean and pure,
Then you will be
pleasing to God for sure.
So I think, that I’ll
think thoughts of God’s Word,
So I think, you’ll think
thoughts of His Word you have heard!
It’s not hard, just do it!
5/21/2021
Week 7 of the 7 Sabbaths
we are to count
PREPARE:
Make sure you have on God’s armor and you will be prepared
for anything the enemy throws at you.
Seek God with all your heart and you will be found by Him.
BE MINDFUL:
All decisions are made in the mind so decide to keep His
commandments and live.
Don’t forget Him and He won’t forget you.

Feast of Weeks Acrostic,
a poem
Following God’s feast days
Expecting His power from
on high
Allowing our hearts to be
filled with His love
Sharing the time with
each other
Trusting Him to do what
He says
Offering our lives for
His service
Filling us with His Holy
Spirit
Wheat is the Harvest
during this season
Each week we looked
forward to this time
Entering into a time of
refreshing
Keeping each Sabbath
until the seventh
Seeking His guidance to
“Bring in the Sheaves”
Enduring to the end in a
biblical way
Is learning God’s Word
and living it every day.
Yeshua said His Holy Spirit
would be our guide
If in His Word we
completely abide.
He said in this world we
would have tribulation
He also said to be of
good cheer and that’s good information.
Because He overcame the
world and so can we,
He is our example and through
His eyes we see.
Romans 8:38 & 39 says:
“For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life, or angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Yeshua
Messiah our Lord.”

It seems to have come so
soon.
That little sliver of
silver up in the sky,
Is so important for us
to know why,
God lets us know when an
old month ends
And a brand-new month
begins.
So, rejoice and be happy
that we are alive,
For
it’s by His Grace that we can survive.
The Sabbath - June 19, 2021
No matter whether it’s
sunny or stormy weather
We delight in His
presence as the commandments we keep,
As we read in His Word,
His mercy and blessings we seek.
We give Him honor and
glory and His praises we sing,
In harmony we offer our
hearts, our lives, everything.
Genesis 2 is where the
Sabbath was created
It is a fact that it
will never be outdated.
From the past
You alone have made
Heaven and Earth
You alone deserve all
the Glory
In You
alone do I put my trust
The sun and moon are at Your
command
The stars and planets
you put in their place
And in Your image, You
created man
The seventh day You
ended Your work
You rested from all You
had done
You blessed it and made
it a Holy day
To be remembered by
everyone who obeys Your word

Verse 4: He chose me
Verse 5: He adopted me
Verse 7: I am redeemed
through His blood
Verse 7: I am forgiven
of my past sins by His grace

My treasures are stored in
heaven where everything is new.
My Father is the richest
in the universe. In heaven I don’t even
need a purse!
I don’t need a credit
card - Yeshua
paid my debt in full when He died and rose.
Now He sits in Heaven on the right hand of the Father.
He said, if I love Him,
keep His commandments. I do that gladly
because I do love Him.
When you think of these
words it makes the “things” of this world unimportant.
When I do see my Savior Yeshua
I will fall at His feet and thank Him forever.
I will have eternity to
do so!
July 16, 2021
There are some in
between, but all blended together in one fold.
We are all seeking to
please our God all our days,
Reading through His word
and learning to walk in His ways.
We joyfully keep His
feast as He has instructed long ago,
Gathering together with
good food, good music and love for each other we show.
We remember to keep His
Sabbaths in commandment number four,
Yeshua said if we love Him we will
keep all His commandments and then God will open Heaven’s door.
We will enter in and
worship Him forever more!
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
death.
Revelation 12:17 …
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Yeshua the
Messiah.

They are everywhere, in
your house and in your coffee mugs.
When you are outside and
don’t wear socks, they will snack on your ankle,
With a bumble bee I
don’t want to tangle.
When you go in your
garden they feast on your arms,
Unless you wear long
sleeves and gloves then they’ll do you no harm.
Surely God has a reason
so we must endure,
If you could ask a bird,
they would tell you for sure
Bugs are their
breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
Without them they would
be much thinner.
God in His infinite
wisdom and enduring love,
Surely will not allow
bugs in heaven above!

We had a lot of rain
today, it is important, that is so,
It is essential for the
trees, flowers, and gardens to grow,
When it rains it causes
the creeks and streams to flow,
God only makes it rain
to water His earth we know.
There is another kind of
water that Yeshua
talked about in His word.
He told about the living
water which our ears have heard,
If your soul is thirsty
and dry,
Listen to Yeshua,
there is an abundant supply.
Yeshua told the woman at the
well she would never thirst anymore,
If we drink freely, then
like her we won’t be thirsty as before.
Drink freely One In
Messiah
No Night There - August
13, 2021
In the book of
Revelation,
It tells us there will
be no night in heaven.
Even as a child I never
liked the night,
I was much happier when
I had a light.
With God there is no
difference between night and day,
When I go to be with
Him, I can surely say,
He is the light there
can be no darkness there.
In God’s new earth there
will be light everywhere.
I’ll have a new body and
perfect eyesight,
Being in His presence
I’ll praise Him with all my might.
And be so thankful there
is no night!
I Corinthians 12:14 says
“For the body is not one member but many.”
As I was pondering on
this verse, this is what came to mind:
Surely, we are thankful
that each member of One In Messiah is an
important part of our congregation, making up the body of Messiah, each one
with their talents and abilities.
This is especially evident
when we gather together during the feasts and Holy Days.
I think you all will
agree that together we make up a loving and caring body, pleasing to our
Heavenly Father, by the blood of our Messiah!
August 27, 2021
God planted me in
Hohenwald a city that’s small,
There are no fancy shops
or even a shopping mall,
But when you bloom where
you’re planted that doesn’t matter at all.
The folks here are
friendly, and some have grown dear.
I must sow the good seed
of God’s Word, that’s very clear.
Sprinkling the good seed
everywhere that I can,
Some plant, some water
that is God’s plan.
God gives the increase
when it falls on good ground.
When one soul repents
and joins the Israel of God, there is heard in heaven a joyful sound.
Keep sowing the good
seed One In
Messiah!

There is a song that
goes like this:
I have peace like a
river.
I have joy like a
fountain.
I have love like the
ocean.
I lived near the
Mississippi river at one time and I can say it is a BIG river.
That’s a lot of PEACE
when you consider the analogy.
We have all seen big,
beautiful fountains in different places and how the water just keeps flowing.
Remember, the JOY of the
Yehovah
is our strength,
So let the joy keep
flowing.
We all know how vast the
ocean is, and out God has LOVE like the ocean, and we should be the same toward
our brothers and sisters.
Peace, Joy, Love = One In
Messiah,
From
His Word.
Important Things I learned From Ephesians 1
Verse 3:
Yeshua
has blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
Verse 4:
He chose me
Verse 5:
He adopted me
Verse 7:
I am redeemed through His blood
I am forgiven of my past sins by His grace
Verse 14: I have an inheritance
Verse 17: The Father will give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of Him
Verse 18: The eyes of my
understanding are being
enlightened
It will bless you to
read the whole chapter and think on it.
In other words – SELAH!

The days of the Feast of
Tabernacles are finished,
But the joy, peace, and
praises have not diminished.
Being together for those
days was a gift from above,
It brought joy,
laughter, and an abundance of love.
We increased our faith by
reading God’s word,
We built our succoth
by what we heard,
Remembering that one day
we will live forever in glory,
But while we are here,
we can tell this wonderful story,
From the greatest to the least
it's all about the meaning of this
Feast!
October 8, 2021
It’s a new month of God
a new moon to see,
A new month filled with
blessings for you and me
A time of joy and
gladness for each new day,
With praise and thankful
hearts that Yeshua has made the way.
That one month, ha Ethanim,
He will come with a trumpet and a shout and say,
“Come my children, Your
new home awaits”,
Then we will arrive at
Heaven’s open gates.
We loved Him and kept
His commandments, every one,
Some of us may go sooner
if our life on earth is done.
But one day we will all be
together in the presence of the SON!
Who bought us and paid
our debt, the Victory He has won!
(Oh, and remember there is no night there so we can always see)
After we read
Revelation, I realized how many times God was worshipped. These are wonderful examples of how we can
also worship. Saying…….
4:8 “… saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,
which was, and is, and is to come.”
For you only are holy:
for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments
are made manifest.

Reflections on Galatians 5: 22
& 23
The righteous bear fruit and the fruit of the Spirit is:
Love
Joy
Peace
Longsuffering (patience)
Gentleness
Goodness
Faith
Meekness (strength under control)
Temperance (self-control)
Such good fruit, so let’s bear some today!
God’s Fall Season - 10.29.2021
This is God’s beautiful
time of the year called Fall,
The leaves are changing
to vivid colors in the trees so tall,
The Colorful leaves of
yellow, orange, and red,
Are a sure sign the
trees are preparing to go to bed.
Who told the trees to
display such beauty in this season?
Of course, God did, and
He created them for this reason.
In the brisk fall
breezes the leaves float and dance around,
And after a time, they all
fall to the ground.
Goldenrod also blooms in
the fall and makes some sniffle & sneeze,
But we won’t think about
that, just focus on the trees!
Thank and Praise Our God for this beautiful season!
I will gladly praise Him
all day long.
I will praise Him in the
morning light.
I will praise Him in the
noon day bright,
I will praise Him when
the sun goes down at night.
I will praise Him and
from yesterday’s problems I will not borrow,
I will praise Him in joy
and gladness if He gives me another tomorrow.
The Gift - 11/26/2021
As I sit here with my
pen ready to write,
I’m searching my mind
with all my might.
What can I say that
would encourage and uplift?
Of course, it is about
God and His perfect gift!
Yes, it is Yeshua
the Messiah, and it’s very clear,
When we lift our voice
to Him, He will always hear.
He will keep us in
perfect peace when our minds stay on Him,
Then the things going on
in this world will become very dim.
He has overcome the
world and so will we!
(Be cheerful and joyful!)

No Facebook
for me, nor
do I Tweet.
I have a direct line to
my Father above,
Who tells me in His Word
of His great love.
No satellite needed, nor
fiber optic cable,
Just open His word and
you will see that He is able,
To hear His children,
anywhere, anytime, who keep His Word.
Isn’t that the best news
you have ever heard!
Follow 12.17.2021
Yeshua said:
Follow me and I will
make you fishers of men.
My sheep hear my voice
and I know them, and they follow me.
If any man
serve me, let him follow me.
Follow me; and let the
dead bury their dead.
If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me.
Yeshua saw a publican, named
Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and He said unto him, follow Me.
And he left all, rose up, and followed Him.
When He calls, will you follow?
My Deliverer – 12/24/2021
Again, I say, this world
is not my home. Every day we see more and more evil from those in
authority. They want to take away our
freedom, even to keep us from serving our God.
Of course, God’s Word is
our guide and comfort.
He is our
Deliverer! We can take encouragement
from David as he wrote in the Psalms:
Psalm 31:15: My times are in Thy hand: deliver me from
the hand of mine enemies, and from him that persecute me.
Psalm 43:1: Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against
an ungodly nation: O deliver me
from the deceitful and unjust man.
Psalm 59:1: Deliver me from my enemies, O my God:
defend me from them that rise up against me.
Psalm 119:134: Deliver me from the oppression of
man: so will I keep thy precepts.
Also, 2 Timothy
4:18: And the Lord shall deliver me
from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen
Be encouraged! God will deliver us!
Louise’s writings for 2022 are below
God remembered Noah when he was in the ark,
On Mt. Ararat, when the waters abated, the ark He did park.
God remembered Rachel and she did conceive,
And she had Joseph who in his Godly dreams he believed.
God gave Moses the commandments one day,
And said to remember the Sabbath to keep it holy
God’s way.
And God gave her Samuel, a great prophet, we read about in His Word.
I’m reminded that God knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust,
If we keep His commandments, we remember that He is Holy
and Just.
He remembers us!
God’s Benefits Jan.7,
2022 for Sabbath Jan. 8, 2022
Psalm 103:2 Bless the Yehovah,
O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
He forgives our sins
He heals all our diseases
He redeems our life from destruction
He crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies
He
satisfies our mouth with good things; so that our youth is renewed like the
eagles
He
executes righteousness and judgement for all
that are oppressed
He
is slow to anger
He
pities them that fear Him
He
gave us salvation
He
gave us Yeshua
He
gave us eternal life through Yeshua’s blood
He
gave us His Spirit
He
gave us His word
And the list could go on
and on. Think of the things you can add
to the list of God’s benefits.
We are truly blessed One
In
Messiah!
When I sat down, I
didn’t have a clue what to write.
I began to search my
mind with all my might.
Then I remembered David
who wrote so many wonderful Psalms,
How every night I listen
to them and how sweetly they calm.
He tells how God gives
His children peaceful sleep,
I fall asleep so
peacefully, I don’t need to count sheep.
When I awake in the
morning, I read another to start my day,
God sends His angels to
protect me because that’s His way.
I’m thankful David so
beautifully expressed about God’s mighty love.
No matter what happens
in this world, I’ll keep my mind on God above.
He will keep
me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on Him!
When the storms of life
are raging, I know someone who can calm the sea.
Even if the storm still
rages, He is there beside you to keep you from harm.
In that still small
voice, He whispers “never fear, I am here.
There is peace in His
presence, and He said He would never leave you nor forsake you.
You may not see the
shore on the other side, but He is your lifeboat, and you will make it there.
Your life will be
changed forever, but the strength and courage you gain will make you a worthy
sailor.
Since God is the captain
of the ship, the pain and heartache will eventually be washed away.
The calm will come, and
it will be like a soft balmy breeze by the sea.
May the
Spirit of the Living God be your Comforter!
Divine
Blessings 2/4/2022
I can’t think of a
better way than to read Numbers 6: 23 –
27:
On this wise you shall
bless the children’s of Israel, (that’s us), saying unto them,
Yehovah bless you, and keep you:
Yehovah make His face shine
upon you, and be gracious unto you:
Yehovah lift up His countenance
upon you, and give you peace.
And they shall put my
name upon the children of Israel, (that’s
us): and I will bless them.
In this crooked and
perverse world that we live in today, we would be wise to keep in mind that we
are truly blessed by God Himself.
I choose to believe God
and His Word!
How about you?
God Never Sleeps -
2.11.2022
As the day is winding down and I’m thinking about bed,
All the things I need to do before are bouncing around in my head.
Then I thought about God and how He never slumbers nor sleeps,
It gives me great comfort knowing during the night my soul He keeps.
To think the God who created the universe cares about me,
It calms any fear and helps me sleep so peacefully.
The angels encamp around me to keep me from harm,
I pray for Godly dreams and in the morning, I hear the alarm.
Then when I see the morning light,
I know He protected me all through the night.
Then I thank Him for a new day and tell Him I choose to please Him and
walk in His ways.
This shall I do all of
my days!
Our God has ears to hear, He is always near.
He has eyes to see, He protects me, I have nothing to
fear.
He has a mouth to speak, and through His Word He makes it clear what we
need to hear.
He has hands; I will never be utterly cast down for He upholds me with
His hand.
He has feet, and He descended in the cloud and stood with Moses on the
land.
And, oh yes, we are made
in His image!
How wonderful is that!
When we join the God of
Israel, we become a soldier in His army.
We are trained to know, first of all, God’s expectations of us, and then
to know the enemy and how to defeat him.
We must be strong in Yehovah and in the
power of His might.
God has provided us
armor and we must put it on ourselves.
He said to put on the WHOLE armor of God, that
we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we don’t fight against flesh and blood, but against
spiritual enemies.
Our loins are gird
about with TRUTH. God’s word is truth
and we must know it.
We must have on the BREASTPLATE
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is keeping God’s commandments.
Our feet must be shod with the
preparation of the GOSPEL OF PEACE, Yeshua is our peace.
Above all, taking the SHIELD OF
FATIH, faith in Yeshua’ s
blood, then we will be able to quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take up the HELMET OF
SALVATION. The helmet protects the
mind. We are to have the mind of Yeshua.
The
SWORD OF THE SPIRIT which is the WORD OF GOD. That’s why it is so important that we as a
congregation read the Word always.
We must put it on and
never take it off. It stays on 24/7!
Old Age
I once was young but now I am old.
In God’s Word I heard it was told,
God said He would not cast me off in the time of old age.
So, with all my strength a good fight I will wage.
I will still bring forth fruit in old age it is said,
For God is my strength and the lifter up of my
head.
I especially love what it says in Isaiah 46:4:
“And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs, will I carry
you: I have made,
and I will bear; even I
will carry, and will deliver you.”
The message here is that it is not so bad getting old when you know and
do God’s word.
Mary and Martha 3/12/2022
Today as I took onions out of the cabinet, to my surprise one had a good
size sprout.
I looked at it and realized I just couldn’t throw it out.
So, I set it aside and thought I would take it out to the garden and
plant it.
There are other onions there so I found a place where it would fit.
It went from darkness to fertile soil and sunshine, all in one day.
Now it’s up to God to make it grow in it's
own way.
I was almost blind but now I can see,
I saw as through a glass darkly but now it has become clear to me.
God though a physician a wonder was wrought,
But most importantly through Yeshua I am blood
bought.
And through his great mercy and loving kindness,
My life was spared from eternal and physical blindness.
Praise Yah the Great Physician!
Our Astonishing God
In God I trusted and remained calm and composed
As others rushed around me, I suppose.
There was nothing they could do, oh but then they said wait …
A colleague has a recommendation that I shall take!
The procedure was performed, The righteous prayed
and the physician he was amazed.
All praise goes to the God in whom we trust and obey!
Inspired by Cheryl
God made the beautiful
flowers and the buzzing bumble bee,
He made the tall
mountains, the little hills, and even a pretty cherry tree.
He made the whales and
the dolphins and the fish in the sea.
He made white fluffy
clouds and the sky so very blue,
And he created this
wonderful world that is true.

Trials and Tribulations
according to God’s Word
How do you learn to overcome
trials and tribulations according to God’s word?
You learn to overcome
trials and tribulations by having trials and tribulations.
Yeshua said we would have trials and
tribulations while we live on this earth.
Not only did Yeshua
overcome trials and tribulations, he was beaten and hung on a tree, but he
overcame the world!
In 2 Corinthians 11,
Paul listed all the things he experienced as trials and tribulations and
overcame them.
John was exiled to the
Isle of Patmos and wrote Revelation.
Even though Peter denied
Yeshua,
he repented and was later imprisoned by Herod and miraculously released by an
angel.
Paul and Silas were
beaten, imprisoned, and put in stocks – yet they prayed and sang praises to God
loud enough for the prisoners to hear, and an earthquake shook the foundations
of the prison, and all the doors were opened, and their bands were loosed.
I was not beaten or hung
on a tree. I have not been imprisoned, exiled, or placed in stocks. I have not experienced the trials and
tribulations of Paul.
Recently, I have been
dealing with loss of sight which has taught me that I can overcome by the grace
of God and understanding his word. I
refuse to murmur, complain, feel sorry for myself, or hopeless.
Although my life has
changed drastically, I know that God says all things work together for good to
them that love God and are called according to his purpose, and I do love him
and keep his commandments.
Yeshua said he would not give us more that we
could bear,
and I believe him.
Matthew 11: 28 says:
Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I
am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is
light.
Praise Yehovah
The Garden
Lately I have been
gardening. In this process it has occurred to me how in God’s Word he talks
about sowing and reaping.
First, you prepare good soil.
Next, you plant the
seed. When the plant begins to grow, it
must be fed and watered. I watch over my
garden to make sure no pests or weeds overtake.
I diligently watch to
make sure everything is ok.
To compare this process
with my reading in God’s word, it gives a clear understanding about spiritual
gardening.
From the parable of the Sower,
we know that we must have good soil for God’s Word to take root.
We must make sure that
we feed ourselves with the Word of God, our spiritual food.
We must keep out the
weeds the enemy tries to sow that threaten to choke the plant: false doctrines and influences of hypocrisy.
As plants in a garden
need water to survive, we must drink from Yeshua’s
well of living water to stay spiritually alive.
As plants need sunshine
to grow, we need regular applications of “Son” shine to flourish. As we meet on
the Sabbath we receive food, water, and “Son” shine
to become a healthy witness for God.
As we live our daily
lives we sow seeds according to God’s Word, then we feed and water those seeds,
but only God gives the increase.
Pentecost Acrostic –
6/11/2022
Pentecost is tomorrow -
Sunday
Power
from on high as a mighty rushing wind
Entered
the room of the awaiting faithful disciples
Now
cloven tongues like fire sat upon each one from the Spirit of the living God
Tarrying
in Jerusalem as Yeshua commanded them
Every
nation under heaven was represented that day, Jewish devout men
Confounded
multitude stood amazed hearing their own language
Opened
up their hearts, received the word, repented, and were baptized, about 3000
Standing
up with Peter were the eleven as he explained the prophesies of Joel and David
Testifying
of the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua
Acts 2: 1-42
7/7/2022 - FAITH Acrostic
Always
remembering why He died
Instead
of animals he became our sacrificial lamb
Then
rising from the dead, he lives
Having
repented from our past sins - we look toward life with Him for eternity
Even though we did not
witness Messiah shedding his blood for our sins, according to the scriptures,
we have faith in his Word that this is true.
Yeshua said in John 14:15, “If
you love me, keep my commandments.”
Faith in Yeshua’s
blood + keeping his commandments = Eternity with Yeshua
7.23.22
Since I cannot drive, I
have learned there are other means of transportation:
·
Family
·
Friends
·
Public
Transportation
Although I cannot read,
I have learned my hearing is great, and I can listen. Indeed, I have learned
that I have memorized more scripture than I realized.
I have learned I cannot
see in the distance in front of me, but I am thankful I can look up and see the
clouds in the sky!
I have learned that
people, even strangers, are kind, considerate and helpful.
But most of all I have
learned to be patient and I know that God is still here.
I remember that Romans 5
says:
[3] And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
[4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope: [5] And hope maketh
not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Ghost which is given unto us.
And 1 Peter 1 says:
[5] And beside
this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness;
[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness
charity. [8] For if these things
be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor
unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
So, I focus on these
things that I learned in the word of God and not the things I cannot do because
of my limited physical sight.

God Numbers My Days - 9/3/2022
I have realized whether
I am sick or well,
Only my God my years can
tell.
If only He can number my
days
I understand I should
always walk in his ways.
I have made a commitment
His commandments to keep
So, the promise of his
benefits I will reap.
In Revelation 22:14
it can be clearly seen
if I keep his
commandments, heaven’s gates will open wide
and I will be able to go
inside.
I will see Messiah Yeshua
who paid the way,
For
me to be able to see this day.
Praise Yah!
Scripture reference
Revelation 22:14 KJV “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that
they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
into the city.”
My Prayer 9/24/22 -
My Heavenly Father,
I’m glad you know best
and in your Word, I can fully rest.
You made me who I am in
your flock I’m your little lamb.
You are the good
shepherd, who leads me in the way I should go,
It’s your voice only
that I hear and know.
And one day to heaven
you will safely take me there,
Where
I will live forever in your tender loving care.
There will never be the
dark of night
For you are
the bright and shining light!
Thank you! Amen
11/12/2022 Living Sanctuary for God
This is an old song I
learned in the past that had great meaning to me:
“Lord prepare me to be a
sanctuary,
pure and holy, tried and
true.
With thanksgiving, I’ll
be a living,
Sanctuary,
for you.”*
Although I liked the
song, I realized corrections needed to be made.
God draws us to
him. We do the preparing and
repenting. We prepare by studying God’s
word to learn his definition of sin = transgression of the law. We repent for breaking those laws and make a
covenant with God to not break his commandments and laws to be pure and
holy. When we are tried, we remain
true. That’s a living sanctuary.
I choose to be a living
sanctuary for God.
Heaven a Breath Away 12/24/2022
Heaven
is only a breath away.
The
older I get the more I can say,
Heaven
is only a breath away.
Then
when in his presence I will fall at his feet
Because
of my love for him, his commandments I did keep.
I
can sing his praises continually since there is no need for sleep.
His
countenance is so very bright,
and as you know I am glad there is no night!
With
unspeakable joy, my praise will know no end,
I’ll
join the holy angels with praises heard throughout heaven,
Amen!
And
by the way, hell is just a breath away.
And
I will ask “Have you kept God’s commandments, or no?”
Hell
is just a breath away for those that say no.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Shalom All
