If Salt has lost its savour
Luke 14:34 (KJV) ~
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
I had dreams last night where my room was dark, and then going to work, I saw darkness and being there at work seeing darkness, the world out there is full of darkness, but the Light of Jesus, we can let His Light shine and spread the Gospel to the nations around us, wherever we are, is our mission and ministry to reach out to those around us, and spread His Love and Light to them that are in darkness, and alone.
The enemy can make the world look satisfying, but yet it still kills,
John 10:10 (KJV) ~
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Sin kills, but Jesus came to bring you life, and life more abundantly! The only way through that is through the Cross, where Jesus died for you, John 3:16 ~
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God has provided everything for you, that's how much He loves you, through what Jesus did for you at the Cross by dying for you, for your sins. Beloved, He loves you so much!!! Don't let the devil lie to you and tell you He doesn't, the enemy's told me that before too. But God does LOVE YOU, keep looking back at the Cross of everything Jesus went through and did.
John 19:1-42 (KJV) ~
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
I know that's a lot of Bible verses, but I wanted to upload all of it to let you read of His love again and again <3 He loves you so much!
I was not figuring out why my room was dark but then the Lord showed me too that I need to get my life cleaned up too, and He spoke that Scripture to me,
Matthew 5:13 (KJV) ~
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
It's amazing the way the Lord moves and speaks, and He can speak in dreams. We need to be repenting of our sins daily, and going before the Lord, and seeking Him while He may be found,
Isaiah 55:6 (KJV) ~
6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
I pray this has encouraged you, and draw near to God and He will draw near to you,
James 4:8 (KJV) ~
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

God is calling you... The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few
This is the Scripture that came to me as my mom and I were on our way to Seadrift, God is calling us, God is calling you, and me to reach this world, to do so much more yet. In these last days just like He says, in Scripture, Acts 2:17 (KJV) ~
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Luke 10:1-9 (KJV) ~
10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
I feel like I have so much in me at the time when I was thinking about it earlier and about what to write with this blog maybe for later, but then when it comes time to writing it out sometimes here at home, I forget. But the Lord can still help us, and help us to remember those beautiful things <3 Today was just an all out beautiful day, that the Lord made. God is still painting a beautiful picture of things still to come, we have to keep repenting of our sins and be ready for the Lord, for the Day of the Lord (Jesus's coming) SOON AND VERY SOON! <3 He loves you and wants you to be with Him, this life is so beautiful with Jesus, and this walk and journey, it may not always be easy and yes the enemy will come and try to destroy (John 10:10) but Jesus came to give you life. <3
God has so much in store for us, even through our tribulations, but Jesus said,
John 14:27 (KJV) ~
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Let us be ready,
Let us be prepared,
For the Day of the Lord cometh soon,
I am awaiting my Bridegroom's coming,
But for now until that day,
I will keep busy doing what He's called me to do,
To preach the Gospel unto the Poor,
To share His love with everyone
To be that Light in the dark place,
I am His Beloved, and He is mine
Showing His beauty in between, all along,
His Beauty is there down that road, down
the Valley sometimes we have to go through
But when we travel, He goes with us
He never leaves, even when it seems like He has but
He's still always right there,
Every tear I've cried, He's seen even when no one else sees
He loves you so much,
You are His beloved,
So let your tears fall, let the Joy arise in you again,
Don't listen to the lies of the enemy,
Remember God's promises, look back into His Word, God's Word
again and again,
Remembering His Promises
Getting lost in His embrace, I love being in that place with Him, in those moments,
Where His beauty appears and at first I don't see it but then I do, He shows me... Just like today He did <3
This story I'm writing right here is a story about a girl losing the memory of her first love (Jesus), then coming back to the Lord by remembering her old home, the Lord bringing her home once again, His love is never too far...The Lord can save you anywhere <3 He's always there <3 He loves you, the Father loves you.
Coming into this house again, the house she once lived in...
Looking at the empty rooms,
She saw they were selling this old house she once lived in,
And she saw the sales guy and asked if she could look in at it one last time,
and telling him that she used to live there,
Coming into the house,
Looking around, knowing why she's here but she's trying to push away the feeling,
but she can't, knowing of all the roads she's traveled that have taken her wrong
places, but this one place here that not knowing that it would bring her home
again,
She walks in her old room, remembering everything, but yet the memory that yet
still is pulling her,
She begins to almost let out a tear, but then whipes that tear and let's the memory fade
away again, then she goes out in the back yard, and looks around, remember everything,
and even her first Love begins to come back to her, but she then just shakes her head no and turns to go back in, she stops at the back door a moment, feeling the pull at her heart, the Lord pulling her,
then she goes back into her room again, and begins to look in her closet, and sees a Bible on the floor, it's one that she had, and she must of forgotten it, and she picks it up, and begins to read,
Revelation 3:20 (KJV) ~
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
She begins to cry, and hold the Bible close to her, and prays to the Lord, and asks Jesus to come into her heart again and says she's sorry for going the wrong way, and she repents of her sins and asks Him to forgive her of her sins, and raises her hands shaking, and trembling, she feels the Lord's love once again like she used to, remembering how she used to be with Him, and all this time God has been there calling her, calling her name.
She then gets up and takes the Bible with her, and she looks back at her room, and the sun shining through the window, and she smiles, and says "Thank You Lord for bringing me Home again."
She goes outside, and sees the sales men in the front yard, walks up to him and says, "Exscuse me, Sir?"
He says, "Yes ma'am?" Looking at her, and notices she's been crying, but doesn't ask any questions, he just smiles and understands because he is a believer in the Lord as well.
"Oh, this is my Bible by the way, I found it in my closet actually, I must of forgotten it when I moved out and on my own but the Lord has brought me back Home to Him." She says smiling and wanting to cry again out of Joy.
"That's alright ma'am, the Lord is good, He's always there leading and guiding us in the places we need to go, even if we stray away." He smiles at her, and she smiles back.
"Sir, I would like to buy this house."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure, I'm Home again."
This story paints a picture of so many people who have strayed away from the Lord, or even if you are saved you still feel dry and far away from Him, or like He's far away from you right now, but the Lord is still there, that Living Water can flow again in your life. Even if you're not saved too, the Lord is also calling you Home to be with Him, don't wait til tomorrow, tomorrow may never come, Heaven and Hell are both real, but choose Heaven, choose Jesus, repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness of your sins, and let Jesus into your heart, and you can have this beautiful relationship with Him. The Lord's Love is never far from us, "
John 3:16 (KJV) ~
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Choose Jesus today before it's too late...
He loves you so much! He saved you from sin and Hell by dying on the Cross for you, but you have to accept Jesus as your personal Lord & Saviour and repent of your sins, to make it to Heaven <3
Jesus said,
John 14:6 (KJV) ~
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Just like the girl buying back the house in the story I wrote, but Jesus has already PAID the price for you at Calvary, all you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Savior <3
The picture of the birds on the dock below, that was an amazing view God gave us today! I told mom, God is painting us that picture <3 He's so beautiful! Imagine how much more beautiful Heaven is gonna be...
The picture of me below, I was playing around and swinging a stick around, and being reminded of that childlike faith <3 it's okay to have fun and enjoy those moments <3
"The house You're building"
song by Audrey Assad
So lay me in the house You're building,
Yeah, come on
You are a shelter for every misfil soul
So lay me in the house You're building,
Yeah, come on
You are a shelter for every misfil soul
We are the four walls, and
You're the cornerstone (You are)
And You're the solid rock that we are built upon
'Cause in You I find my meaning
Yeah, and in You I find my beauty
Lay me in the house You're building
In the house You're building
Matthew 7:25 (KJV) ~
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
