Its not LOVE...Its LUST!

I saw this today as I was updating our Blog! I will be posting more when I can today & through this holiday weekend. I know for a fact that the month of November/December are so hard for many of you since if you share custody...more than likely this is somebody's month. Not always...some don't get to see their kids at all. When we surrender to mans law instead of God's laws that is what happens. Many of us by no choice of ours had to surrender to this position for our marriages, families and kids. The enemy doesn't ever fight fair so don't ever expect him to do so. When he goes after that 1st Cov marriage he pretty much goes for the jugular. Marriage and families are the backbone of America (any country for that matter). It throws most families into turmoil and destruction pretty quickly... It reduces the parent who was not prepared for such an event into such a deep level of pain that sometimes it is hard to recover in a tail spin.. But that is where our God steps in! You kids need to see the strongest you possible through this process. That doesn't mean not getting real with them. It means protecting their hearts from more pain and making them think either Mom or Dad has it all together. Because when it comes down to it...its just smoke and mirror. The parent who "Moved On" in wrong council may has found someone but it was to fill that empty void of needing someone to make them feel that they are okay. They want to make their 1st mate look as horrible as possible so that they can prove themselves worthy of doing right. It is nothing but another ploy of the enemy. If that other mate knew what a wonderful person you really were(most of the time..nobody's perfect)...that OW or OM would surely wonder what they were leaving their family and every content that they have for meaningless lust & fill in sex void (lets get real here its NOT LOVE). Many are going after possessions and belongings to take a fast track to reach perhaps the top of the ladder. Anything that is not built on the foundation of God's design will FAIL! Its just a matter of time. They can bail out the water from the titanic as much as they want...they can keep up appearances that everything is OK. But the fact of the matter is they have the same problems if not worse in the other relationship...its just a matter of time before they come to the surface...WHY? Because neither person has ever really changed. If they did change they would have worked it out in their 1st marriage They don't have to strive to make changes in their opinion because they are thinking that they have it all together. Keep this in mind that ONLY Fools rush in...a 1st marriage was custom designed by the Lord to last a lifetime. Look for those mentors who have stuck it OUT!!! Quit going to the broken church and leadership that is in wrong position thinking because these people are in another marriage...they have the go ahead an secrets to a successful marriage. It is nothing but completely lies from the enemy! I am not saying that God cant use YOU!! He CAN! You have gone through the brokenness and pain and have allowed the Lord to mold and fix you. You looked to the Lord to fix the fix and not the world. He hears your hearts desire and has GREAT plans for you ahead. You do your part and repent for your part as you WAIT upon the Lord for completion. As much as it hurts right now...BE ENCOURAGED! Don't go the wrong way now and go the same path as another...the Church will be held accountable. Have no blood on your hands! Help turn this tide around to BREAK OFF the generational sin cycles OR see the same pattern repeated in your childrens lives. The sins of the fathers are passed down. If you know scripture...you will see how the enemy goes after our SEED! That would be your children!!! Or your children to come. Nobody is immune. What we do for Christ is what matters...everything else will be burned away! The Lord is coming back for a Bride without SPOT nor WRINKLE!!! So are you going to be the iron in the fire? Or just another Wrinkle? Be a SPOT REMOVED!!! AMEN! Praying for many in this hour to get right and STAY right.....

Restoration & Reconciliation during the process of Renewal God determines the times and seasons

This is our Ministry's Mission ONE! A bit more of an explanation here for those who need a better understanding of what the Lord requires of us in any relationship. Restoration, this is the word used to portray God’s desire to return our souls to their original design and proper function. In the context of the ministry, our work involves working alongside the Holy Spirit in restoring an individual’s soul to a healthier place or condition, where life can be lived more fully in right relationship with God and others. He is a God who desires that our souls are restored, and that we walk in right living with Him and others. He does His work of restoration in a person’s life as proof of His ever-loving character to us. All we can do is to join Him in this work. Renewal, another word used to portray a desire of God. In another prayerful Psalm of David, God speaks to us about renewal. The Holy Spirit is in us and also works within us to renew us by cleaning our hearts while transforming our minds. Replacing our false beliefs and erroneous attitudes within the heart, with godly beliefs and attitudes, cleans the heart. Renewal, another word used to portray a desire of God. Many times it is a hard process but the Lord is there with us always. PHILIPPIANS 3:10-11 " I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. " I PETER 4:12-13 " Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed." PHILIPPIANS 1:29 " For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him,". Reconciliation, this is third word we use it to describe a desire that God has for us. There are two major aspects of reconciliation to consider, an individual’s reconciliation with God, and with others. God is reminding us that He has done everything necessary to reconcile us to Him, we have become “new creatures”; Christians. his means that as we minister to others, we must be able to address the relationship of a person being served with God. If a person is an unbeliever, we must do some work with them pointing them to Jesus. If they are a believer, we may have to work at strengthening the believer’s faith in God and all that His reconciliation means to them. The second aspect of reconciliation is that of person-to-person relationships. Jesus addressed this in Matt 5:23-24 Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering. Jesus places reconciliation between people in a very important position. He basically tells us that before we come to worship God, and when we remember that we have an issue with someone, we must address that issue first. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9-10 " But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Jesus considered reconciliation as so important that He gave Himself up for it, and He asks us to do the same. As we minister to others we must be able to address any needs for reconciliation that the Holy Spirit prompts in those we serve. We are to always be mindful of relationships of those we serve to others in their lives. We have to do this in our ministry as well. When we do counseling many times there very well could be barriers to their personal progress to wholeness because of issues of a relational nature. Jesus counted this as so important that He told us to deal with them before we worshiped Him. Jesus considered reconciliation as so important that He gave Himself up for it, and He asks us to do the same. As we minister to others we must be able to address any needs for reconciliation that the Holy Spirit prompts in those we serve. We work alongside and under the direction of the Holy Spirit to perform God’s work of restoration, renewal and reconciliation in the lives of the broken-hearted. 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14-15 " But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." **The answer to the question of what do we, the ministry of Marriage Restoration 101 & The Season of Hosea. Please be sure to find us on our Facebook page under Sharon Nichols. I am connected with some wonderful prayer teams who will faithfully prays for the masses as the requests come in. I am very selective as to who sees and prays for those requests. We would love to connect with you and council in complete agreement. Remember that God does hear our prayers. We need to make sure that we are doing our part in application first. Then leave the rest up to the Holy Spirit. We are here for you and you can find out more about our Ministry services on our Webpage(s). You should be able to find our connecting Websites on one of our other pages. I will double check and see if they are still there for you. If not hold on more help is on the way! We are gathering as many resources as possible in this latter hour. It is critical that you are praying more than ever. Be sure that you are also fasting! God determines the times and seasons “It is God who alters the times and seasons, and he removes kings and promotes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. “(Daniel 2:21) The joy of the Lord is your spiritual strength. (Neh. 8:10) Praise God that in His presence is fullness of joy and in His right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psa 16:9-11) God bless you this week. Please know that you are NOT alone on this journey. He has called you for such a time as this. Amen Stand strong & of great courage. In His Service, Sharon Nichols

Please see our URGENT message this Season!! "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

Psalm 147:3 " He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. " Psalm 34:18 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." The Lord is close to those who are broken hearted and crushed in their spirit. There are many experiences in life that can break our hearts such as disappointments, deaths , hurts , failures ,missed opportunities, loss etc. At such times we may be lonely and feel forsaken by others. But the wonderful promise is that the Lord is close to us at such times. Psalm 51:17 "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. " The Lord heals our broken hearts and wants us to minister to others who are going through the same experience in their lives. Whenever we go through an experience of brokenness in our lives , we are in an unique position to be used by the Lord to minister healing and restoration to the broken hearted . Psalm 23:3 - He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. We must allow the Lord to heal our wounds and then we can use that healing experience to reach out to others and enable them to experience the same healing in their lives. Instead of mourning over our heart breaking experiences , we must see the possibility of using them to become a channel of healing to others. Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. John 12:24 " I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. " It is God who desires that our souls are restored, and that we walk in right living with Him and others. He does His work of restoration in a person’s life as proof of His ever-loving character to us. The best thing that we can do is to join Him in this daily work. Rom 12:2 – And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. I Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." The Lord is seated on the throne of Grace with a heart of compassion towards us because He can sympathize with all our weaknesses. We can always approach Him confidently in our many times of brokenness because He understands us and sympathizes with our weaknesses and He is ready to shower His grace and mercy upon us. Hebrews 4:15-16 " For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. "

Lord give me your eyes for just one second. How doe we become born again to enter His kingdom?

Many people don't understand how simple it is to be saved. According to John 3:16 The Word of God makes it plain, simple & clear. Or is there more too it? So what does it mean when the Bible says that we must be born again? What if I think that I've fallen too far and God won't pick me up again? How do I pick up the pieces from a shattered past and turn around my life for Him? How do I ask for His forgiveness and what is repentance? What if I can't forgive myself or others don't want to forgive me? What should I do according to scripture? All these questions can be answered as to who enters the Kingdom and what you need to do on a personal level to be free from bondage of captivating sin. Why are so many churches agreeing with sin & adultery even in Leadership? I will address these any many more questions that you may have in the hours to come. I personally pray that if you are in error today that you ask Him in prayer to forgive you. I pray that you come to a Godly sorrow in repentance as to how you not only hurt and greeved the heart of God with your actions but also those perhaps closest to you. I pray that you will take the needed steps to ask them for forgiveness as well. The time is NOW as the hour draws closer to His return daily. Nobody knows the day nor the hour. Let Him completely transform your hardened wayward heart towards your first love again. May it be an agape love that can never be quenched again. May you be lead by the Holy Spirit to continue praying and seeking Him in truth. May you know that even pastors & leaders can give wrong council and hurt people. If they told people that remarriage is wrong if you have a living mate realize that all those people giving & serving would stop doing so and they would have no church. Many have fallen away because of great grief in the church. They will be held accountable at a greater level. Nothing I say is against God church as to how He intended it to be and that is pure without spot nor wrinkle. He wants people on fire for Him again speaking truth to set the captives yes in the church free again. There's been to much worldly compromise where christians look more like the world than Christ. We all need to be on bended knee again...its not just for some..its for ALL! I invite you to take a deeper walk with thee and dive in deep. Have a personal relationship which means taking responsibility for your own soul. May you be on fire for Him like never before. Anything you do for Him will be the only thing that has lasting value anyway. Its not about anything but Him and advancing His kingdom in love and truth. We've got once chance right now to get things right with Him. He wants us all as one body in this hour but in rightstanding. May you give & sell everything to the poor orphaned and widdowed. Read how you must be born again & see or ask how YOU can help this mission move forward. Its up to you!! May this year be the year of open eyes & may you see things in a different light all for His glory. May He I've you His eyes for just one second. God bless you!

Be sure that you get caught up on our blog praying and standing on Gods given scripture in His Word first. You will find much comfort peace and prayer in agreement by just visiting our blog. Our Blog does have a protective feature now built in. We've also invested in a phone number that people can call Toll free for needed prayer on our God given prayer line.

We look forward to the many speaking engagements as well as a few more things under wraps at this moment. We would love to hear from you & pray in agreement for your marriage family or given situation. God hears and moves on our prayers. Don't let the enemy tell you otherwise! Believe Stand strong & get back up again. Its never too late! If you are a single Mom or Dad I would love to help mentor you. I honestly had people in my pathway back in the day who knew more about divorces Than they did about staying together and working things out. I am not one of those people who agree with a divorce (unless its from a 2nd or3rd marriage called a non covenant). Then I would advise you to flee and run from the bondage & sin of on going Adultery. Yes, I said it. I can and would be more than happy to back it up in scripture. There is NO debate nor escape clause unless you are the one justifying the actions in sin. Many of your friends and mine are in grave error according to the Word of God. His truth stands the test of time. If you want complete freedom from bondage do complete turn around and simply go back home and ask your mate of your youth for forgiveness. Be sure that your 1st love is for God. Stop pleasing the world and begin new with the Lord and your OWN precious God given family. There is forgiveness at the Cross! Begin there!! Amen Know we are praying for you today. In His Service, Sharon Nichols

See Again!

Did you know that God desires to see us live a long good life? Many today believe that when a person dies, it was God's timing for them to die and that the fullness of their days have been lived out according to God's will. However, according to the Bible, God's will isn't always manifested here on earth as God desires it, and there is no guarantee that we will live out the fullness of our days. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. Proverbs 9:10-11 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Proverbs 3:1-2 And Yes, we can die before our time! Let me ask you this, when a person has an abortion, is that God's appointed time for that baby to die? When somebody commits suicide, is that God's appointed time for them to die? When somebody gets drunk, and kills an entire family, was that God's appointed time for them to die? Is it Biblical to "die before your time"? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? Ecclesiastes 7:17 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. Psalms 55:23 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes! There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32 Is it Biblical to "fullfill their days"? Yes There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 65:20 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Amos 9:10 In the NT, we learn that there are many people who get sick and die before their time, because of unworthily partaking in communion: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep [or have died]. 1 Corinthians 11:24-30 God's Word tells us that MANY have fallen into this trap. If many back then fell into it, what percentage of today's sicknesses and deaths also fall into this category? Can a person's sin and disobedience to God shorten their life? Yes! Untimely death is listed under the curses that we find in Deuteronomy 28: The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.... Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 28:21,61-62 I have never seen God's Word speak of Him using sickness or disease to call a righteous person home, but we do see just the opposite unfold in the above scripture, where sickness unto death is a curse. What is God's desire for those who fear Him and walk in His ways? A long and good life! Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:2-3 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalms 91:16 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Proverbs 3:13-16 I also believe that eating habits and exercise will also affect our body's ability to live a long and healthy life. The verse above speaks of wisdom lengthening our days, and I believe one area of our lives that we are supposed to exercise wisdom is in taking proper care of our bodies. In Jeremiah, we find a passage which tells us that God has good plans for us, and wants to give us an expected end. An expected end is nothing less than a long good life. Dying of cancer, or in a car accident, is not an expected end, it is rather an unexpected end. This is not God's will for us, according to this passage in Jeremiah: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalms 34:12-14 The above passage asks, "Who wants to live a long good life?" Then it goes on to tell us to keep our tongues from speaking evil, and to depart from evil. Lot's wife is a good example of somebody in the Bible who who died due to disobedience; she never lived out the fullness of her days. It was not God's will for her to die at that time, but her death was the result of her disobedience towards God. Another source of pre-mature death is a result of Satan's work of killing, stealing, and destroying that Jesus spoke of in John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..." When somebody is killed, it refers to the taking of a life prematurely (otherwise, murder would be justified in God's eyes, would it not?). God does not use Satan to kill His children, as a means to keep them from living beyond their appointed time. Jesus made it very clear who was behind the killing, and who had came to give life. By stating that every murder came at God's appointed time for that person to die, is to equate Jesus with the killing side of the equation of John 10:10. It is saying that God uses Satan's work in our lives to bring about His will, timing, and plans for us. If this were true of murder, then the same could be said of rape, stealing, etc. Suddenly, we find ourselves in a mindset that everything which happens here on earth is the will of God, which couldn't be further from the truth. Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. Deuteronomy 5:33 There is one passage in scripture (see Job 7:1, 14:5, 14) that is used to support the concept that the days of our lives are appointed in such a way that we are not capable of dying before the fullness of our days have been lived out. However, when Job said that the days of our life are appointed, he also said other things during his foolish rant with God that I believe were merely Job's human understanding, and not divine revelation from the Holy Spirit. For example, in Job 6:4, he was basically saying that God's poisonous arrows and the terrors of the Almighty was upon him, when that was simply not the case at all. There were things Job said which were mere human wisdom being spoke of in a time of desperation and lack of understanding. To say that we cannot die before our appointed time, is saying that God uses murder, abortion, suicide, sicknesses resulting in death, demonic killings, unhealthy care of our bodies, drunkeness (resulting in deadly car accidents), and so forth, to fulfill His purposes in a person's life. It is saying, for example, that God appointed Billy to die on the day that he committed suicide or got drunk and drove into a phone pole. It is claiming that God appointed Billy to die at that time and that God's "good plans and expected end" for Billy was for him to commit suicide. Just because God wills something, does not mean it always happens. He desires all to be saved, and that none shall perish, and Jesus made all the provisions for all to be saved, but are all saved? No, not at all. God also wills that we live long good lives, but just because that is His desire, does not mean that it will always come to past. "But God used Lazarus' sickness unto death for God's glory!" Study and see the story for yourself. Please research how cancer is being demonically rooted, because the medical community is clueless as to what the root cause really is. Let me ask you this: if Jesus told us that Satan came to kill, how does Satan go about doing that? Think about this, we don't see demons with clubs beating people to death, but we do see people dying like flies from cancer. Does God use Satan to kill people as His way of "calling them home"? I believe that Jesus was telling us in John 10:10 that Satan's intent to kill refers to taking a life pre-maturely. Abortion is another one of Satan's ways of pre-maturely taking a person's life. Would we dare say that God was using that to call His children home? We wouldn't think of it! God's Word tells us that He has plans for us, plans to give us a hope and a future, and an expected end (see Jeremiah 29:11). Cancer is not an expected end. Abortion is not an expected end. An expected end is when a person has lived out the fullness of their days that God has given them to live. Are the good plans spoken of in Jeremiah 29:11 coming to past in everybody's life? Then what makes us think that the expected end part of that passage naturally comes true in everybody's life? It doesn't! Those are PLANS that God has for us, but just like the plan of salvation, we must play a vital part in seeing those plans fulfilled in our lives. Satan, of course, has plans to end our lives prematurely. Jesus told us in John 10:10 that the thief came to kill, steal, and destroy. How about being killed for His sake? Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20 Why does God allow us to be persecuted and even killed for His sake? Because He wants to reach the lost, and in order to do that, we're going to be persecuted. He already has our souls, so the moment we die, we are with him anyways. He wants to reach out in love to those who don't have Him as their Lord. Remember and re read John 3:16! I hope this gave you a clearer picture of the Big Picture and that you will read for yourself and find the answers to the questions you still have. God Bless your deeoer walk with the Lord. Seek His oeace and understandng. He loves you more that you could ever know. You were made perfectly by His design and so is your marriage. Every detail in your life He already knows about as He goes before you. Keep seeking and praying for the lost hurting abd brokenhearted. There are many even in church (some may even hide it very well due to fear or judgement). May they all be saved before He returns again soon. Are you ready? Ask for forgiveness and get right with the Lord today. Go back to where you once began with your wife or husband 0f your youth as well as your own God given family. They are waiting patiently for your return. The angels will be rejoicing un advance today on your behalf. Do not delay another moment and be the most couragious ever. Be unstoppable evem! Forgive me if there are typos...its been a long day. Study yourself approved daily. Time is short. Your sins are forgiven: If you aren't sure your sins are forgiven, you will be experiencing guilt, and a feeling of unworthiness to live in victory. The enemy moves right in on this weakness and fault in your belief system, and uses it against you. Guilt gives the enemy room to move in and make you feel worthless, and therefore he keeps you fighting from a defeated position. You must know that your sins are forgiven so the enemy won't hang guilt over your head! Look at Luke 7:47, where Jesus forgave that woman who lived a very sinful life, with no strings attached! Also look at other stories where Jesus said "Your sins are forgiven" with no strings attached. And Paul is another great example of how he was moved from a sinful lifestyle right into the kingdom of God without any strings or conditions attached! Recommended: The Bible The Word of God is the single greatest way to combat the lies and deceptions of the devil! A great book to help you realize who you are in Christ is Victory over Darkness.

In His Service meeting with an awesome man of God!

I had an awesome pleasure tonight meeting a mighty man after Gods own heart. While standing in line for about 45 mins. I got to meet some awesome christians. One couple who have been married 42 years this past July!! What an awesome God wink! I am very careful with who I watch on christian programming now more than ever. Honestly I can say that Dr. Stanley is the real deal. He is so warm & loving. I'm thankful for the time he took with posing for pictures, listening to me about my stand and signing my book. He has stood against the tide and faithfully prays for our country. I wish that there were more men of God like him in his hour. May the Lord continue to bless him & give him great health all the days of his life for his obedience & faithfulness. Traveling angels of mercy go before and after him as he continues on his book tour. God bless you Dr.Charles F. Stanley it was an honor & a pleasure to meet you in person. I pray that you will pray for us and for my schooling. I know that its such a great honor to serve our Lord. The next levels we all reach are all for His glory until His great return!! Amen God bless you always! If you are reading my blog please drop me a line at sharon.n@live.com Or find my page on Facebook under my name & or Season of Hosea Now is the time to help turn the tide. Don't let emotions get in the way persevere through to the victory ahead. PTL for faithful men & women in this hour standing for Biblical Cov. Marriages. This was not my idea BUT Gods!! If He calls you to obey Him in Standing strong for your marriage don't you dare disobey. We are too close to His great & mighty return people of God. Stand strong and believe He is with us as the cloud of witnesses cheer us on. God bless your journey ahead. Sincerely, In His Service Sharon Nichols
