Are You Sowing What You Want To Reap?

September 9, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Dear Child,

Whatsoever you sow, you will reap! Sow abundantly into others lives and you will reap an abundant harvest.Whatever you sow in others’ lives will reap in your own life.

 Whatever you want in your own life, sow into others.

If you want hope, sow hope

If you want integrity, sow integrity

If you want love, sow love

If you want faithfulness, sow faithfulness

If you want motivation, sow motivation

If you want edification, sow edification

If you want encouragement, sow encouragement.

Whatever seeds you sow in the garden of your life is what will grow, and as you care for the seeds, it will reveal where your treasure is. Where you spend your finances, time, and talent is where your heart is at.

                                                            Thus saith Papa

Gal 6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

2 Cor 9:6  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

After I have faithfully planted a seed in my garden, there is nothing I can do to cause it to germinate and grow, because the life is in the seed not in the sower. But I must be responsible and sow the seed.  Remember although the life is in the seed, the responsibility is in the sower!

CHALLENGE: Don’t complain of lack in an area of your life, but rather sow that which you want to harvest in that area.

In God We Trust?

July 3, 2017 by 1 Comment

Our Schools are failing — We forbade Him in the classroom

Our Courts — Many of our courts have removed the Ten Commandments

Our Homes — We often complain our children can’t pray in schools yet fail to pray with them  in our homes.

Our Law and Order — When we have no respect or fear of God we will have no respect for any authority of police, schools or parents.

Our Sexuality — Even the very core of our creation by God as male and female is being challenged.

Our Gift of Life — We loose respect for life when we murder the unborn. As you read this there will be 3,700 babies murdered today. Since 1973 there have been 58 million babies legally killed in the U.S.A.

In all aspects of our lives we have tried to delete God’s law of sowing and reaping, leaving us with an immature  society void of personal responsible.

Political correctness is strangling our laws and the very breathe of our nation as we abuse the words “Separation of Church and State” which are not even in the constitution.

So where did the words “Separation of Church and State.” come from? They can be traced back to only a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote back in 1802. In October 1801, the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut wrote to President Jefferson, and in their letter they voiced some concerns about Religious Freedom. On January 1, 1802 Jefferson wrote a letter to them in which he added the phrase “Separation of Church and State.” When you read the full letter, you will understand that Jefferson was simply underscoring the First Amendment as a guardian of the peoples religious freedom from government interference.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote his letter to the Danbury Baptist Association he never intended the words “Separation of Church and State” to be taken out of context and used as a substitute for the First Amendment, but for all practical purposes that is exactly what the courts have done.

“I tremble for my country,” said Thomas Jefferson, “when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” –

A sobering warning from George Washington on April 30, 1789, when he delivered his famous Inaugural Address to both Houses of Congress. “We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” He had just taken the oath of office on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City, with his hand upon a Bible opened to Deuteronomy, Chapter 28:And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

George Washington also wrote this about what he felt made America great:

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

To make America great again we need God back in our government, society, homes, schools, and our lives.

Give The Great Physician Permission

June 24, 2017 by 1 Comment

A few weeks ago I fell and broke my hip and was warned that if I didn’t have surgery as soon as possible I would never walk again. As I was being wheeled into surgery to have the hip replacement I remember Dr. Darren Friedman taking the time to put his initials on the hip he was going to replace. He would only be putting a new hip on the leg with his name.

The Lord used this as a window to my soul.

Likewise The Great Physician also writes His Name on the foreheads of those that He will be working on as we go down to the Potter’s house and place ourselves on the wheel of transformation. This is where He will remove our heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh.

Just as I signed a paper to give the doctor permission we must also voluntarily give the Lord permission to perform surgery on our hearts. He will only work on those hearts with His Name engraved.

Revelation 14:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Jeremiah 18:3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

Ezekiel 36:26 6 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 

CHALLENGE: Are you broken today? Give the Great Physician permission to perform the surgery and He will give you a new heart that will enable you to walk a new way.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

June 3, 2017 by 1 Comment

Matthew 10: 29,31 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 

Three weeks ago after much prayer we decided to release our precious puppies, our Westie, Iona and our Scottie, Mr. Knightley, to a kennel to put them up for adoption. We struggled as we didn’t really want to let them go but felt it was the right thing to do so we would have the freedom to travel for ministry when called. Last year alone we were away from home overseas for twelve weeks. Although we had a dear neighbor who faithfully cared for them it was a big sacrifice on her part.

Well, three weeks ago almost to the day the dogs were adopted on the day I fell in New York City and broke my hip leading to a hip replacement which has disabled me from traveling for the next  few months. We even tried to get them back to no avail. Had we missed God we questioned our decision?

One of our biggest concern was that they would be separated. Was it too much to hope for that they would be adopted together?Would God move and cause  them to be adopted to the same family? While I was in hospital we got a message from the kennel that a family had adopted them both. We received the news in tears that God would be so gracious!

Several days ago I received the following letter from a “sister” in our church.

“Hi Maggie, I haven’t seen you and your husband for awhile at LCN.  I just wanted to let you know my super sweet neighbors adopted Iona and Mr. Knightley and I recognized them as they walked by my house from your post on facebook!  They look so happy!  A really great family has them.  I also gave Kim your book to read as well! She was sooo excited.  Just thought you’d appreciate knowing where your pups are!  Take care.”

What amazing and incredible news that they were together in such a wonderful family! How awesome that God would use this dear “sister” in church to let us know that they are happy. What were the chances of something like this happening? Needless to say we wept with joy, not just for our dear puppies but that God was able to do abundantly above all we can ask or think as according to Ephesians. If He is willing and able to care for two little puppies how much more will He care for me during this time of my recovery.

As the old gospel song says:

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,

Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home,

When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He:

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

CHALLENGE: Be encouraged for no matter your need today, be it small or overwhelming Our Loving Heavenly Papa is interested in every detail of your life!

A Praying Mother

May 11, 2017 by 1 Comment

As a mother we cannot afford NOT to invest time with God!
Mothering is an awesome responsibility and privilege that will need His power and wisdom gained by spending time alone with Him.
A line from a poem written in 1865 “The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world!” How powerful is that!!!
Mothers have a key role in shaping the attitudes, ambitions and destiny of their children. Their children, in turn , determine the destiny of the world. Who can stand up under such a responsibility? Only a mother who daily spends time alone with God! for without His guidance, power and strength we will fail for after all we in our own strength are only HUMAN!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
