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.
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.
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
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.
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
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) ~
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



Below is a picture of my dog, my baby girl Tina Joy <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
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.

God is doing a beautiful work in you still... Be still and know

Hebrews 13:21 (KJV) ~ Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever, Amen.

James 1:6 (KJV) ~ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) ~ Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He haith said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

You took your love for granted, though it never left you for a second.... <3
Audrey Assad, song called Run Forward <3

This is a love we're fighting, you've laid your armor down,
Oh, and now I can't find it,
not even a bit,
no, not even a bit,
no, not at all!

Don't be afraid to ask God for BIG things just like I've heard bro Jimmy Swaggart say before, that his grandmother I think it was he said, she said to him, Jimmy, God is a BIG God, so ASK BIG!

Sometimes we can even be afraid to ask our Father for BIG things, cos we think it won't happen for us like it has others or the enemy will lie to us, God has a beautiful plan for each of us, and that plan is still taking place this very moment! I've been listening to this song "Run Forward" by Audrey Assad and have included the lyrics to the song with this writing <3 This song is so much touching me whenever I listen to it <3

I made a separate post just now where you can view the song :)

James 1:6
I don't want to be wavering when I pray, I want to do my best to pray and seek Him in faith.

Matthew 6:19 (KJV) ~
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

2nd Chronicles 1:1 (KJV) ~
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

2nd Chronicles 1:7-12 (KJV) ~

In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

2nd Kings 2:2-15 (KJV) ~
And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

Reading this chapter of Elijah and Elisha and wondering why when Elijah wanted him to tarry here Scriptures would repeat, but maybe its because to see of Elisha's faith, and then when Elisha received the double portion of Elijah, nothing is impossible with our God. I liked reading this chapter just now and wondering those things <3

It's okay to talk to God, and talk to Him about His Word. We need to spend time with Him, whether its 5 or 15 minutes, or however long, I know I still haven't been spending enough time or a lot of time with the Lord like I should, I do still spend time with Him just not a lot like I should be doing, but the Lord is always there with us, and wants us to pray and talk to Him, and seek Him for who He is not for what He does, although He will do wonderful many things in our lives and for us, and provide for us, but there's so much more than that, that He wants to do, like Elisha's double portion.

Heaven is our real Home,
Here is the Scriptures of the Lord's Prayer,


Matthew 6:6-16 (KJV) ~
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.




 
1st Samuel 24:1-10 (KJV) ~
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
And he said unto his men, The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.
So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the Lord had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the Lord's anointed.

Sometimes you can feel like you are hiding in cave, and you're all by yourself, and alone and the fear of the enemy is coming against you, but don't give up, don't give in, I've heard bro Jimmy Swaggart also say if you won't quit, He won't quit! And just like God was with David even in the cave <3 He's with you in your place wherever you may be <3 whatever sins you may in, or struggles, Jesus wants to save you, He loves you, He died for you on the Cross, to save you from Hell <3 if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour today please do, please accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, don't wait til tomorrow, tomorrow is never promised <3 Hell is real but Heaven is also real, and this life with Him is so beautiful, repent of your sins, He loves you and will always forgive you, and you also need to forgive others if you haven't, the Lord will also help you to do that, I'm also myself still learning to forgive but I know the Lord is helping me along this journey and through everything to forgive <3

Psalm 51:4 (KJV) ~
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Psalm 51:10 (KJV) ~
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

God loves you so much and He has so much for you, don't let this Earth be your home, it is only temporary but Heaven is forever, so is Hell, but choose Heaven today. Choose Jesus <3 He loves you so much <3

So, I'll run forward and pray you fall back,

grace will come and clear your path.
Yeah, I'll run forward and you fall back.
Oh, I'll run forward and you fall back.
You, You made me afraid
Thank You,
I've gotta thank You
Cause now I know His Strength...

Song called Run Forward by Audrey Assad <3


The Father loves you, He wants to wrap His arms around you and is already wrapping His loving arms around you, waiting for you to come Home... come back to the Cross, lay everything down at Calvary...

Jesus is coming again soon, stay ready, be ready, pray continuously! Soon that trumpet of God will sound <3

Starting over without facebook :)

Just recently I've deleted my facebook, and I just feel it's something the Lord wants me to do and learn to live without it now, and just enjoy life, and have fun. I'm still on instagram, and I did have a twitter account but I deleted that too recently, I never got on there anyways very much at all. All I have now is my Instagram, Tumblr and my blog site :). My tumblr is, http://hisbeautifulhorizon88.tumblr.com/

I was also letting facebook define me a lot, and I know my value is not in that too, my value is in the Lord, I am His beloved and He is mine (Song of Solomon Scripture) I loved being on facebook but I was letting it define me, and it's so easy to fall into that.
Song of Solomon 6:3 (KJV) ~ I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.




A Scripture I read in the car one day while my mom and I were waiting for our food was,
Song of Solomon 1:4 (KJV) ~ Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

That is a beautiful Scripture to go along with what I'm doing now in my journey with letting facebook go, and I am glad I have let it go now, it has been hard not signing on but I feel better now that I honestly don't have it.

And too, just recently I got to go to a Kari Jobe concert in July, it was amazing! God is amazingg! If you don't know Him today as Lord and Saviour, please do, He loves you! Christine Caine was the preacher there that night, if you'd like to hear one of her messages, you can check out this link,
https://youtu.be/NkNLGASZM7k

When my grandma and I went, it was AMAZING! Again AMAZING YES! I really drew closer to the Lord that night, and yet I am still struggling again in my battles, and things, and to spend time with the Lord, like I want to and I have been spending some time with the Lord but not enough at all, but yet I still let things get in the way like tv and stuff. But I know the Lord is always there and with me, and I love the way He works, and brings us always back to Him, and pulls us away from the worlds things. That's basically my testimony too from that night of the concert of what God did in me, and the lies of the enemy that came at me, and still are coming at me, but I'm gonna keep pressing on and keep toward that finish line and learn to keep my eyes on Jesus and not the world <3 this Earth is not our home, Heaven is our Home <3.

Don't give up, no matter what you're struggling with, keep pressing on, we press on toward the mark of the High Calling of Christ,
Philippians 3:14 (KJV) ~ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

God has an incredible plan for your life, Hell is real, but Jesus paid the Price for your sins, He loves you <3 give your life to Him today, don't wait <3 He's calling you, He's waiting for you Beloved <3 He loves you so much!!! John 3:16,17
John 3:16,17 (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.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

I hope and pray this blog has encouraged someone, and I pray that you feel God's love, amazing LOVE for you, check out the song How He loves us by Kari Jobe on youtube <3 and the song He knows my name by brother Jimmy Swaggart <3 Great songs <3

I love you all,
Love,

your sister in Christ,
Ash
