I have felt the fire and I have smelled the vile smell ....

Happy Palm Sunday (Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels) to all, I pray as you awoke this morning that the light of the new day filled you with hope and with abundant faith that this is a new day and a new beginning.

As we go through this week before Easter I pray that you will, each day, remember all that took place this week in Jerusalem, remember Jesus Christ in all that you do, this week more than ever before, find your knees often and thank him for the sacrifice that was made so that you could live for all time and eternity. Sit in the quiet when you can and imagine all the pain he suffered for you that week, all that he endured because of God's great love for you. Each time you are unsure of an action that you might be taking, ask yourself..."what would Jesus do" Let this Easter season be the one that opens your eyes to new beginnings personally, let this Easter season be the season you wish to change your life and to become a better Christian. I am working on this week and have yet again openend my heart as wide as I can so that I might receive divine guidance as to the weak parts in my life and learn how to become stronger....I read this quote posted on facebook by a very special and spiritual lady and asked that I might be able to copy it into my blog...at that time I did not even know what my blog would entail this morning....but it sure is another sign that God guides my subjects each day and is never short on giving me direction in my writing....

Thank you Donna Farquhar Jones for sharing this....

"People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets". Charles Swindoll

This is my forever goal in life, I wish to be an inspiration to all, I wish to be an example of "good" and share with all, the stories of God in my life. God has been with me since before I even knew who he was, I have challenged him, I have ambled through acting as if I had no faith, I have dared him, I have pushed him to his limits...I am sure....but I have never denied him. I have always known that he is in my life, some of the things I have been into and come out alive are proof in the pudding that his hands were upon me and he was always pulling me from the muck that I called life. 

I have been where you are, I have tempted the door of hell to open and consume me, I have been so far down that I doubted God could reach that far...I have done it all, and even though I am ashamed I allowed myself to get to the point of no return...I am happy that I did, I am glad that I have been there, I have felt the fire and I have smelled the vile smell of evil....I am glad WHY?? Because in being there I am able to be here and to appreciate the day to day blessings that God allows me, I am able to love without condition, I am able to believe without doubt, I am able to empathize with those who are there now, and I am able to share my stories with those who need to see to believe. God not only pulled me from my own personal hell he gave me the greatest gift I could be given, He forgave me, He loved me, and He allows me to be able to understand those that are at the door now, those who are knocking on satan's door and waiting for the opening...I am here to tell you today, there is nothing you can do that God will not forgive you...WELL there is ONE thing....you can deny GOD and he will not force his way on you, you can DENY him and he will stand quietly and patiently waiting in the shadows until you are ready...I pray that today you are ready. I pray that TODAY is the day you finally decide that you need help, that you need GOD in your life...I ask you to come and pray with me this very special prayer and ask God to come into your heart, ask GOD to lead and guide you at this time. I ask you to lay down your hatred, your doubts, your fears, your worries and take the hand of GOD...he will never leave nor forsake you and he will bring you through the storm you are calling life. 

 Salvation is a gift from God that will enable you to spend eternity in Heaven. To receive this gift, you need to accept Christ into your life, repent of your sins and begin living a life that is pleasing to God. If you feel you have done too many bad things for God to forgive you, you are wrong. Whether you are old or young, rich or poor, a liar, a thief, an adulterer, a murder and so on, if you truly repent in your heart and accept Jesus, YOU WILL BE SAVED.... 

Salvation Prayer

 Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.

I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.

You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.

Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.

Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

When you have accepted Christ into your heart, no matter if  you have done this before and fallen or if this is the first time, it is imperative to seek out people who are walking the path of Christ, it is important to wrap yourself around people that will help you to get on the right track. Please if you need help let me know, no matter where you are I can help you to find the ones that you need. God is amazing and I am so glad you are seeking him out today!
