If God is for us, who can be against us!


My favorite verse in the Bible, one that still gives me goose-bumps is: “What then shall we say to these things?  If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)  Almighty God is sovereign over all things and He is untouchable.  Nothing can match His Glory, strength, power, might, knowledge, forgiveness, blessings, riches, love, mercy, grace, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, skill, handiwork, greatness, holiness, righteousness, availability, sensitivity, patience, tenderness, peace, graciousness, gentleness, self-control, joy, kindness, faithfulness, goodness, strategic ways, agape love, bravery, consistency, intentionality, humbleness, willingness, sympathy, empathy, beauty, authority, and anything else you can possibly think of.  HE IS AWESOME



“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called to his purpose.”



“The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

“For those who love God all things work together for good.”

I  HAD VERY STRONG LIBERATION
done on me last night

its like a new day a new life

I did not know who much we  see so
differently when we are touched by the hand of GOD

 he reveals so much heals and lets you know why

So much people don't know or understand  or have there own way  of  thinking whats right or whats wrong

I know I done some of this thing  and I think  a lot have to 

one of the  first steps  is to

Understand  that a walk with GOD is not the same as  religion.

 Religion is a form of a system to control others human controlling power
it is used to gain control ..


A walk with GOD

it is something  only between you and him
God is a Gentleman  he will not force you to
do any think you  do not want to do willing of your own free will

this is why he gave us free will
1st you must

say the salvation prayer
then you most confess your sins to god
this will set you  free

must forgive people that  hurt you and you  hurt them to.


Take Jesus as your Lord

the Prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."

with this you  will find peace ..

there  is so much more but this is the start  of a  walk with  GOD


It will not be easy  ..I myself  have had a hard road  people will hate you call you names 

If they did it to him  they will  do it to you

but by now you will  know the truth  and

No weapon that is formed against you will prosper;

 And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn

Dealing with difficult people not only tests our faith in God, but it also puts our witness on display. One biblical figure who responded well to difficult people was David, who triumphed over many offensive characters to become king of Israel.

When he was only a teenager, David encountered one of the most intimidating types of difficult people—the bully. Bullies can be found in the workplace, at home, and in schools, and they usually frighten us with their physical strength, authority, or some other advantage.



Goliath was a giant Philistine warrior who had terrorized the entire Israelite army with his size and his skill as a fighter. No one dared to meet this bully in combat, until David showed up.

Before facing Goliath, David had to deal with a critic, his own brother Eliab, who said:

"I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle." (1 Samuel 17:28, NIV)

David ignored this critic because what Eliab said was a lie. That's a good lesson for us. Turning his attention back to Goliath, David saw through the giant's taunts. Even as a young shepherd, David understood what it meant to be a servant of God:

"All those here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands." (1 Samuel 17:47, NIV).

While we should not respond to bullies by hitting them in the head with a rock, we should remember that our strength is not in ourselves, but in the God who loves us. This can give us confidence to endure when our own resources are low.


Dealing with Difficult People: Time to Flee

Fighting a bully is not always the right course of action. Later, King Saul turned into a bully and chased David throughout the country, because Saul was jealous of him.

David chose to flee. Saul was the rightfully appointed king, and David would not battle him. He told Saul:

"And may the Lord avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you. As the old saying goes, 'From evildoers come evil deeds, so my hand will not touch you.' "(1 Samuel 24:12-13, NIV)

At times we must flee from a bully in the workplace, on the street, or in an abusive relationship. This is not cowardice. It's wise to retreat when we are unable to protect ourselves. Trusting God to exact justice takes great faith, which David had. He knew when to act himself, and when to flee and turn the matter over to the Lord.

Dealing with Difficult People: Coping with the Angry

Later in David's life, the Amalekites had attacked the village of Ziklag, carrying off the wives and children of David's army. Scripture says David and his men wept until they had no strength left.

Understandably the men were angry, but instead of being mad at the Amalekites, they blamed David:

"David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters." (1 Samuel 30:6, NIV)

Often people take their anger out on us. Sometimes we deserve it, in which case an apology is needed, but usually the difficult person is frustrated in general and we are the handiest target. Striking back is not the solution:

"But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God." (1 Samuel 30:6, NASB)

Turning to God when we're attacked by an angry person gives us understanding, patience, and most of all, courage. Some suggest taking a deep breath or counting to ten, but the real answer is saying a quick prayer. David asked God what to do, was told to pursue the kidnappers, and he and his men rescued their families.

Dealing with angry people tests our witness. People are watching. We can lose our temper as well, or we can respond calmly and with love. David succeeded because he turned to the One stronger and wiser than himself. We can learn from his example.

Dealing with Difficult People: Looking in the Mirror

The most difficult person each of us has to deal with is our self. If we are honest enough to admit it, we cause ourselves more trouble than others do.

David was no different. He committed adultery with Bathsheba, then had her husband Uriah killed. When confronted with his crimes by Nathan the prophet, David admitted:

"I have sinned against the Lord." (2 Samuel 12:13, NIV)

At times we need the help of a pastor or godly friend to help us see our situation clearly. In other cases, when we humbly ask God to show us the reason for our misery, he gently directs us to look in the mirror.

Then we need to do what David did: confess our sin to God and repent, knowing he always forgives and takes us back.

David had many faults, but he was the only person in the Bible God called "a man after my own heart." (Acts 13:22, NIV) Why? Because David depended completely on God to direct his life, including dealing with difficult people.

We can't control difficult people and we can't change them, but with God's guidance we can understand them better and find a way to cope with them.

I just want to add my thought  on this   we might get hurt  bully  but one thing we  all have to do is

FORGIVE

it Can be them .  It might  be us that need to be forgiven . It might  be  even our self that need
to  forgiven our self


I been studying on forgiveness just this morning   the word is so easy and simple to  say but its more to it when you get so into it

if we  don't  do this  we  hold in a lot and never will be free , we will be always  be  holding on to hurt and pain holding on to feelings &  Emotions

I myself  had been holding on to a lot but  but I think its  best to forgive and be forgiven  after  letting  go of what ever we maybe be  holding on

a big wight lifts and we can start over ...will  post more on  this

Life can be so beautiful  we all  just need to   let  God  in and let him take over .I leave my life my daughter life and my spiritual husband in the palm Of GOD
hands





Matthew 6:14,15 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 18:21, 22  Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. (Followed by the parable of the ungrateful servant).......35 "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."

Mark 11:25  And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

Luke 6:37  "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Luke 17:3, 4  So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."

Ephesians 4:32   Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
