Part ONE of TWO: To Emery, Love and Healing Prayers in Jesus's Name, Dear One. You are His Precious Child and Daughter!

A Call for Immediate and Ongoing Prayer for a Young Woman of God, Full of Life!

(&&&Part Two of Two link at very end&&&)

Hi, Dear Friends in Christ!  This urging to write today came from an inspiration from the Holy Spirit, I certainly do believe.  I am writing about my very dear friend Sandy, Sandy's husband, and their daughter Emery.  Emery has a  beloved sister from the same family, including the sister's darling family. From early in school onward through decades later now, Sandy and I have grown even closer as we share our love, trust, and faith in our Savior and LORD Jesus Christ. It has been and continues to be a thrilling path in Life, the forever kind, indeed!  There is nothing in the world that compares in having a relationship with Jesus.  He is the only One Who can save you, no one else ever.  He died and took the place for your sin, was resurrected, and then later ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father to intercede for you and me.

Several months ago I put a posting on the blog asking for prayer for Emery, who is fighting a very difficult intestinal battle for years. (*At the end of today's posting, you can read the initial posting about Emery.)

In Emery's young, beautiful Life, she has seen many doctors, had countless opinions and therapies, and yet even with some improvement, thank the Almighty; however, as of yet, Emery wants complete healing.  I want that for her with every fiber of my being, and her family...well, you can imagine the intensity of their undying love and hope in Christ for complete wellness!  Emery herself- is always hopeful in God!

Both Sandy and I absolutely believe in the healing power of our LORD Almighty!  Each of us has experienced miraculous healing.  For each person, only by the grace and power of Holy God, do any of us have healing of our bodies physically, mentally and emotionally of the mind, spiritually of our spirit and soul...Continued in next paragraph...  Those of us who have chosen Jesus as our Savior, once we have passed on and gone to Heaven to be with our Father, Son, and God's Holy Spirit (Who indwells each of us who are His the moment we ask Jesus into our lives).  After a prayer for Emery**, please read and say from your heart and mind, a*** Salvation Prayer to accept Jesus Christ forever and ever into eternity, where perfection will abide with each of us and together!  No more arguments, sins, hurt feelings, death, devastation of mind and body, evil trick from the evil one, complete wellness, no more tears and much more!  Jesus is making a mansion there for each of us. A mansion where we each live and go out daily basking in the sun that comes from the Light of the World, Jesus!  No need for sun or moon anywhere, for He is there forever and always!

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;^[a] believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?^{[b] 3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:1-3 English Standard Version (ESV)

Sandy and I absolutely believe in the healing power of God.  We have experienced it, and we pray for others for same.  For each person, only by the grace and power of Holy God, do any of us have healing, which includes medicine, doctors, prayer warriors, and so forth.  And Yes!  There are definitely times where people have been sick one moment, and completely well, the next!  Every good and perfect thing comes from above! Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.  
James 1:17-21, ESV Every single breath we take is because of God's love for us and by His power!

During a Bible study on the book of Daniel in the Bible, we learned that for healing, God can stop the affliction, He can take us through the affliction to healing, or He can take us to Heaven, which is the final Healing!

It is Truth that God wants us healthy and whole.  In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had everything in perfection from their Heavenly Father!  God walked in the cool of the day with Eve and Adam in the Garden!  After Christ's triumphant return, we will have it once and for all, unceasing, never to stop, ever again!  (It was lost for humanity because Eve and Adam chose to believe the lies from the Serpent, Satan. God warned them not to eat from the fruit of that one tree, of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, or they would surely die!  They did eat from the forbidden tree, and all of the trouble got worse.  God made them leave the Garden because if they stayed, they would grow old and horrid, but never die within the Tree of Life (forever).  God had His Son Jesus would come to save us!  Forever and Always!)

Those of us who have accepted God's free gift (NOT free for Jesus- He paid the most terrible Price- ALL sin ever was, is, or would be HEAPED upon Him, and the Father had to turn away from Jesus!) of Salvation and LORDship through His Son, Jesus Christ are living on Earth as it is now in God's Kingdom, and we will  have forever Life in Heaven, God's Heavenly Kingdom, when we pass away.  God sent His Son Jesus, fully Man and fully God to make the way for all to be saved---lest not one fall! 

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. 2 Peter 3:9

However, with the most extreme sadness possible or imaginable, some folks will not accept Jesus' gift of Salvation and LORDship for their lives!  Not everyone makes the choice to live with God forever.

PLEASE PRAY NOW FOR Emery to be healed of this intestinal problem, that she will fully recover and go forward with her Savior and God!  Thank you eternally...

Dear Heavenly Father,
**Please hear our prayer for Emery!  We know you know exactly who she is and who this young woman is in You!  She is a believer, praise You!  Her family believes, praise You!  We are so thankful, truly Dear LORD God.  You knew Emery before the foundations of the world, before she was in her mother Sandy's womb...We ask for complete and total healing of Emery's body and person of this disease, to be released of the burden and worry.  She needs to be freed to act fully on Your behalf for Your Kingdom!  Her family will be so appreciative!  We want Emery to be fully able to love, to enjoy Life, and to help others...to Live for You, Jesus!  You are the Only One Who can heal her.  For Emery's salvation and eternal Life- and her family's- we Praise You, Almighty God!  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

 I was completely healed one night about 11 years ago at Bible study and prayer with fellow women, healed of the migraines that I had for 23 years- every doctor, medicine and combination thereof tried, therapies, lots of prayer.  One day (again, ****link for the blog posting), I was so hopeful at a prayer and Bible study meeting, and 4 Christian women came 'round about me, anointed me with oil on my forehead, and prayed for my migraines to flee and for God to make me well!  They prayed for 10-20 minutes, conversation between them and me, tears and hurts, then the migraines were gone, just like bringing a knife down on a loaf of bread and slicing it...health, pain gone, and it never came back like that again!!!  Part of the key is this when you are prayed for healing: THANK GOD and PRAISE HIM for His loving goodness, His lovingkindness, and mercy, and keep on believing and praising God even if a little pain or symptoms start to return.  Also, sometimes a healing from the LORD comes about "over time"~~~!  Sometimes, we are not healed miraculously, but keep on staying close to Jesus, read the Bible, pray, and fellowship with other true believers~!


Friends, if you are unsure of your salvation in Christ Jesus, or if you have fallen away, never done it before, here is an example Salvation Prayer or Prayer of Salvation.  If you truly want this in your mind and heart, please read it to the LORD.  He will more assuredly LISTEN, HEAR YOU and ACCEPT YOU now for His Kingdom, continue to walk with you all the days of your Life here and then onward into Heaven and to eternity with Him and your other loved ones and friends~!  You will meet people you have never known, also, and ah---the stories and times of Joy you will have with the Savior!!!  Unspeakable JOY and LOVE, no hardship ever again!
You may read prayer to God, or you can tell Him in your own words;
God bless you in your decision for Christ!

PRAYER OF SALVATION

Dear God, I know I'm a sinner.  I'm sorry and ask for Your forgiveness.  I now declare with my mouth, "Jesus is Lord."
I believe in my heart that He died for my sins, and You raised Him from the dead.
 In Jesus' Name, Amen.

A Community of Believers in Christ Jesus Lay Their Hands to Pray for an Officer of the Law, Amen!~ PRAY for one another!~ The Sinner's Prayer for Salvation~ Encouraging You for Your Children!

I do apologize...the wonderful picture of Officer Danny Gregorio has disappeared from my posting, over time.  I am trying to cut and paste it to no avail.  I will keep trying again very soon.    : ) In lieu of, and in no apologies for this wonderful photo, here is one of folks praying and laying on of hands...

(Thanks to Why Do We Lay Hands, Four12.)

Ephesians 3:14-21

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and       depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

How I Came Across This Picture of People 

Praying Lavishly Upon an Officer of the Peace

On a G+ community to which I belong,  I saw this beautiful photo and was completely drawn into what was happening.  A nice Christian fellow, Danny Gregorio, of the Jesus Christ Daily community, had posted this intriguing picture on the community site where we both belong.  I do not know who took the photo originally. 

Looking at it again, I was particularly noticing that the people likely come from all walks of life: how wonderful and fascinating in a day where there is so much hatred, maligning, accusing, distrust and division.  YES, there are many, many GOOD people out there and among you and me!  We must hold onto that and them.

Please see A Prayer of Salvation below*** to be sure that you are with the folks who will go to God's Kingdom, Heaven, on that day that you are called from this Earth by Him.  Good, bad, indifferent, or ugly in spirit, we are each forgiven by God when we accept His Son Jesus Christ. Ask God to forgive your sins, and do not reject Christ Jesus.  Not to accept Jesus IS to reject Him, and God the Father cannot forgive you rejecting His Son (fully Man and fully God). 

Here is my heartfelt written response that day, with few, minor additions, to Danny's submission of this photo:

I am the wife of a retired police officer.  It is, indeed, WONDERFUL to see the believers laying hands on him for protection and service in his daily matters with the people of the town/city.  My husband Royce was an excellent officer with people.  He treated them fairly.  He helped tens of thousands over the years.  Sometimes people's dire needs and situations tore at his heart. 

He was the lead hostage negotiator for 20 years, a school resource officer, where he also belonged to NASRO (National Association of School Resource Officers) and traveled around the country to make presentations, teaching other officers what a school resource officer does and to also inform other professionals working with youth at school, at first middle and high school, but now grade schools. 

Royce worked tirelessly to begin and to develop a local program  that is also national, NAMI, (National Alliance for Mental Illness) for police and mental health to work together to help in the much-needed area of folks who have mental issue needs and also get involved with the police and authorities, such as battered women, domestic abuse, and many other situations that most of us are unaware.

Royce made the program for a Saturday class from juvenile drivers who had moving violations so that their car insurance would not grow up.  He conducted these classes on Saturdays for years and years. He had four hours of information, including people's first-hand telling of events where youth were injured badly in car accidents or had died.  One such person was a mother where 5 teenage girls were in a terrible accident- two girls did not survive the crash and all of them were significantly effected.  The first responders were greatly affected emotionally, many to this day, like my husband.  Most of my husband's students in the classroom would be crying by the end of the morning those Saturdays.  I sat-in one day...it was gut-wrenching, including presentations by parents whose young people had been very hurt or passed away because of, often, speeding and other moving violations of the law in vehicles; sometimes the teens themselves had made the violations; other times, it was circumstance or another driver had erred. 

These are a few of the things that my guy did where he went the extra mile for people's good.  He and another officer/counselor had evening meetings at high school's gyms or smaller venues where they talked about personal safety for all and also ones where the officers told parents of teens that, yes, it is illegal to provide alcohol to your child's friends for parties at your home!    

We had equally difficult and horrible issues with abuse, sexual assault, children being neglected by their parents, etc., etc.  Thank the Lord above for conscientious, honorable cops, yes, Christian cops, to protect and to serve with dignity for the individual.  There were many times where my mate had to detain, restrain, wrestle, and keep someone from taking charge when he was the one with the authority, who was attempting to do his job for the public. 

Praise God for first responders: fire, EMT (Emergency Medical Technician), police, counselors, clergy, and other advocates/helpers who put their lives on the line every day in countless ways for others.  True Christ-like individuals.  I do know there are authorities who abuse their power.  They must answer to Jesus Christ Himself one day and to people now, perhaps. 

God bless you all.  THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Romans 8:26-27

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Oh, How I Prayed!

My hope is that every person prays for her/his loved ones!  Others!  In our daily life, we ask God to help us do each day as He desires for others as well as ourselves.

It is hard to describe how the spouse and family of an officer or first responder feels or thinks, most every day you see your beloved walk out the door to go to work.  I almost get a lump in my throat writing this today.  You pray prior and as they leave; you pray while they are gone, and you pray as they are returning... I am incredibly thankful to the LORD and to others who prayed for my husband- who are mostly his family- our children and sisters, and our church friends.  We had and have the prayers of our magnificently living (they did here and now in Heaven) Parents!  How they loved and love us.  Royce and I can only partially imagine how their fervent and heart-felt, soul-searched, LOVING prayers and requests to Jesus for our Salvation, our daily lives, most including their grandchildren, whom they adore/d, for our ever-increasing closeness to God Almighty, safety, and to do God's will- including spreading the Gospel, the Good News!   It is never to be underestimated how one's prayers to God help maintain and times when the prayer saves a loved one or friend, even loving and praying for our enemies, which Jesus told us to do.

I am eternally grateful to God that now my husband is retired, and although his work has taken a tremendous toll on himself and our family, Jesus gave him back to us.  No one has a loved one for total "keeps".  That is, unless everyone involved has accepted the Salvation and Lordship of Jesus Christ as one's loving God and Constant Companion.  There were many times early in my husband's career as a sheriff's officer, especially in the mountains where he KNEW that angels of Holy God had gotten him out of life and death scrapes.  I am sure of it, also.  This happened seven to eight times- that he is aware...!  What about all of the times, Royce was unaware of God's Hand and angels upon and around Him?

Which Hand Will You Take, Friend?!

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, please say this prayer seriously and with all intention, and you will be saved.  I believe that this Prayer for Salvation is Billy Graham's or from his ministry.  Do you truly want Christ Jesus to be LORD and Master (the Greatest Love you will ever have, bar no other) in your Life, here on Earth, and then on into eternity? That is what we each face, either gloriously and ecstatically filled with Joy and Love forever, being the best you that can be imagined- or the complete opposite.  No one wants to be in the latter group, and you DO NOT have to be there.  It is your decision!  If someone had each of his/her hands filled with- on the left: spiders, scorpions, and all horrific darkness; and the right hand filled with Jesus, fine banquets, the Love of the LORD and family, all of the best things and animals, incredibly fulfilling times in gorgeous settings, well, which Hand would you choose?  It is that simple, My Friend!!!  Indeed...

May Christ Jesus- our God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- the Triune, One LORD and Savior BLESS and KEEP you beyond what we can imagine and think and watch over you.  You have made the most IMPORTANT decision that one can ever, ever make!

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV)

²⁰ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Read this article of the tragic incident that took the life of a beloved young officer: may her parents, siblings, all relatives, friends, and the church keep loving her and knowing that she is in Heaven with her Jesus and Heavenly Father. Bad did not win after all!  We pray that these people including the gunman will grow closer to the Lord Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Help My Grown Child Get Well, LORD! Please Heal Her! We Love Our Children with Passion and Abandon. A Salvation Prayer! Poem.

Christ Jesus Lifts Our Precious Ones Up With His Love, Mercy, Compassion, Healing and all that God is and has- unlimited and boundless power and magnificence, full of grace upon grace, Who is just, all-powerful, omnipresent and omniscient.  You will see all of these qualities and more when you read today's posting of a true happening with Jesus for a mother, Sandy Hill, and her grown child, Emery.

Sandy is one of those rare, lifetime and dear, close friends- one whom I have admired, loved and shared friendship since we were seventh graders at the young age of 12 years old.  I could not be more blessed that Sandy and I have a group of girlfriends/chums, who still keep in touch and get together whenever we are able.  Now that our children are fully grown, it is easier to meet from places around the United States.

Sandy is extra special to me because she is so kind, caring, and above all, has a deep faith in Jesus Christ.  We share in that single-minded fellowship; there is nothing else like it because faith in Jesus, the Messiah, is matchless and forever.  I value her highly for encouraging me in our Lord and Savior.
We want everyone to have the Promise of God to live forever with Him in Heaven!  Please see,
***A Salvation Prayer*** toward the end of today's posting.

Young child or fully grown, we parents never, never give up or let go of our daughters and sons!  They are more precious than any fading gold or silver could ever be! 
Acts 3:6-7 New International Version (NIV) 6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”  7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 

One of the strongest bonds of humanity is a parent's love.  We get a glimpse of how God- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- LOVE/S us more than anything, beyond any comparison.  There is no greater love than the love of God Who lay down the life of His Son, Jesus, and Jesus willingly took that upon Himself to set us free!

John 5:19-24 English Standard Version (ESV):
The Authority of the Son
¹⁹ So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father^[a] does, that the Son does likewise. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

~~~God with Sandy and Emery~~~

Here is Sandy's wonderful telling of when God came down to Sandy in a dream when she was sitting near her daughter Emery at the hospital, where Emery was so very ill.  Please, Friends, continue praying for Emery who is right now getting the best medical tests with top specialists.  We expect and claim complete Healing in the Name above all, Christ Jesus, Jehovah Rapha (Hebrew for God the Healer) for Sweet Emery!>>>

Pleading with God to bring healing and relief from her extreme pain, I despairingly

released Emery to Him as a loving mother who knew her near-unbearable physical

suffering. Praying in the dark with her in the next room, I must have fallen asleep. That

is when I saw Jesus above me, descending from an open dome in all His splendor. He

leaned through the dome and stretched His arms toward my reclined, limp daughter

who was dressed in her own white robe and He lifted her before me. Still weak with pain

and discomfort, yet I was encouraged that He had come to heal Emery and make her

strong again. Hope was restored and I was cautiously rejoicing. With that, I woke up. A

bit confused by what I had just experienced, that sense of peace we only receive from

the Holy Spirit flooded through me. No longer afraid that I would lose my precious child,

I was willing to trust that God would give Emery the strength to fight through the pain.

Her "healing was in Christ!"

Today she is finding strength and ways to live with her digestive disorder. Emery

returned to the work she loved sooner than expected.

Most importantly, Emery has a deep-rooted relationship with her Lord and Saviour. She

surrounds herself with good and Godly people and reaches out to those who need a

kind word or deed.

Emery's refinement came through her suffering but Jesus' healing will allow her to turn

that suffering into an outreach to others. Now that's what we call a "blessing!"

Love You & Love in Christ,

Your forever friend,

sandy

I love you so, Sandy!!!  Always and forever, and thank you immensely for sharing this dream that God gave you.  I really cannot find the right word/s to express how special and promising it is; what hope it gives us all.  There is nothing like seeing and hearing from our Lord.  This is how much He loves Emery, Dave- your husband- and you, your whole family.  Praise Him mightily!!!  God loves each person this much.  When we say, "Yes!" to God about Jesus Christ, His limitless Love surrounds us as He walks daily with us.

***A Salvation Prayer***

Dear Father in Heaven, I want to know You and to be with You forever one day when I leave this first part of my Life.  I believe that Your Son, Jesus, died to take away my sin.  You are Holy, and Jesus is the Lamb of God, the Only ever Perfect God and yet fully Perfect Man.  He came to die on the cross, to be resurrected, then to be with many people here before He ascended to Your right hand to intercede for each of us.  I have made mistakes, and I want Your forgiveness.  I know that the Holy Spirit Who came- that is why Jesus ascended to Heaven- will be in my heart and mind and give me help, guidance, and comfort, understanding of the Word.  Thank You!  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

                                                          

God just keeps healing me,

God just keeps healing you.

If we only could conceive

Of the many healings we receive!

Taking for granted

His daily miracles-

So many, uncountable…

But His heart is so full,

And His mercy and power

So boundless.

Yes, God just keeps healing me,

And He keeps healing you.

If only we could fathom

His never-ending love.

Only Christ Jesus

Shows us the way to the Father

Through our Savior’s sacrifice- for us,

We can accept the truth that, yes…

God just keeps healing me,

God just keeps healing you.

Part 2 (of 3): Only Jesus Christ is the LORD God and the Savior of All People! HE IS YOURS, too, Friend.

And there is Salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved. 

(Acts 4:12)

Breath-taking art piece, "The Rescue," by Nathan Greene

Today's posting is the second part of a piece started a while back~~~ Part 1: Only Jesus Christ is the LORD God and the Savior of All People!~~~ + Salvation Prayer! + 10 Commandments! + 2 Songs!

~~~God's Truth~~~

It is vital to me, actually, it weighs greatly upon me to tell you this message:

The one and only Message of Truth is that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God- Who is the King of kings and the Lord of lords! It is He Who is the Creator of the universe and all that is in it: you, me, every thing that is alive- living and breathing- also, atoms, matter, and cells~~~ including the rocks and mountains, all plant life, all water that comes down and goes into all the streams, lakes, oceans, and on and on...Life! and matter, substance.  We would not have the emotions we have unless we have a God who wanted to experience love, intimacy, understanding, compassion, faithfulness, even anger and sadness and loss.  He felt these emotions long before we were ever created in His image.

The Lord God Almighty, the Trinity of our One God 

(the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- Three Persons and also One Spirit)~~~

Our God is the Lord of us.  Jesus Christ (alone, only) is the Great I AM, the Way to the Father- the Way, singly, to Heaven and Life eternal!!

John 14:1-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

Jesus is speaking: 

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life 

14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord,we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

---Problems and Lies of This World... 

No guru, dharma, or other charlatan can save you!  No other religion, faith, or philosophy can bring you Redemption and Salvation with 
the One, True God, Jehovah, God Almighty.
I am quite tired, actually~ I am sad, angry, and heartbroken~ for people who refuse to accept Christ's offering of Salvation.  I can barely stand to think of my closest loved ones who could miss the mark- even though they have been given the Truth of Jesus Christ countless times, but I must press on for them and others I know and also strangers, in prayer and in boldness!  
I completely trust my Lord God because He is Holy, Good, Loving and Just.  His Character, Attributes, and Qualities are the antithesis, OPPOSITE of anything evil.  He made you, and He wants GOOD for you!!!
He will do absolutely everything in His power-
which is massive, unlimited, and has no boundaries- 
to bring a person to the Truth of Personal Salvation; 
however, God will not overstep a person's free will, which He also has given to us. 
I have heard people say, "the universe" brings it to me; that there are many paths to God; that every person's journey to God can be whatever that person wishes or desires, etc.  These human-based, as well as certainly devil-based distortions and untruths, abound and flourish in our world!  
These lies and half-truths, which is no truth whatsoever, are agendas of the devil ever since he, Satan, lied to Eve in the Garden of Paradise. 
The Lord Himself walked daily with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day!! 
Can you hardly comprehend that they had such an intimate and deep kind of loving fellowship with HIM, the One Who Sustained them, and the Lord of their lives? 
And yet, the human pair listened to the devil instead of their loving Maker.  
It was the most terrible of all moments- for them, their family, and down through history today with us.  How utterly sobering.  ALL of the madness, sickness, hatred, even petty issues of humanity began when Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden 
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil because they believed the devil, the serpent, that God was trying to keep something good from them- which was A Bold-Faced LIE.  God had told them they "would surely die," if they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but that they could eat fruit from every single other tree in the whole Garden!
The couple ate fruit from the forbidden tree. (Read Genesis, Chapters 1-3.)
(Oh, how many times have I wished that I do not know of the malevolent, ugly, even cruel and hateful ways of people that plague our world...How we can treat each other in selfish, petty, and sometimes vile manners and ways.  Yet, look at the love that a new mother and father have with the just-born child; see how a sister and brother laugh so knowingly, unselfishly and have a love and a bond that can never be broken...the list is endless how God has shown us His Love in His Son Jesus Christ, and we only know how to love because of what He, alone, has put into us long before He knit us in our mother's womb.)
I have come to believe, personally, that any one of us would have succumbed to the devil's crafty trickery and, in our humanity, we would have taken the deadly advice of Satan.
HOWEVER, God so loved us that He gave every woman, man and child Salvation. Each person has the choice to ACCEPT or to REJECT Christ...adults at the age of consent and understanding, which begins around the age of 12 years old. 
 Each person needs- there is no more important decision!- TO ACCEPT Salvation by telling God of his/her faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ; that He died and was resurrected in three days; and that we are truly sorry for our sins and mistakes and will go on living for the LORD and Savior Christ Jesus.
(+++See the Salvation Prayer toward the end of today's posting, please : )
The Lord God in the Garden of Eden caused Eve and Adam to leave the Garden.  
He SO LOVES us that if the two had stayed in sin, they would have eaten from the Tree of Life and lived in sin forever, probably decaying and being sick for eternity.  

GOD'S PLAN was that Jesus Christ His Son would come to Earth as The Little Babe to free us forever and ever- those of us who choose to BELIEVE in CHRIST, alone, no other gods.  

The Holy Bible is the true source of all inspired, God-filled writing about Jesus Christ and the Way for eternal life, including living in the Kingdom of God right now, continuing into forever- with Him!  The Bible is God's story with us, and everything in the Old Testament points to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and in the New Testament tells how "Love Came Down, from Heaven" in the Person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, fully God and fully Man.  ...And much more- His birth, Life, Ministry on Earth, the Disciples, Jesus' Death and Resurrection, His Ascension to the Right-Hand of God, the Father, so that the Holy Spirit of God could come down to woo us to God and to live within, guiding, directing and comforting the New Believers in Christ.  Read about the First Apostles!!

No false person, "faith," religion, or church (coming in all forms and diversions) has the way to God, except through Jesus Christ and the Christian Church~ 

Matthew 16:13-20

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him,“Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock[b] I will build my church, and the gates of hell[c] shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[d] in heaven.” 20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

The Bible says that there will be many false witnesses and...Sometimes people and groups that say, purport, spread widely and teach- sometimes these people are misinformed and have taken on beliefs, unwittingly, that are untrue, i.e., false. 

At other times! these groups, including some very pious, arrogant, and pridefully bad ministers~ derelicts of Christianity and wrongly teaching "churches"- spread the various forms of twisted half-truths- as in false- on the real Truth of God- ON PURPOSE.  In other words, people at times KNOW they are spreading counterfeit information and want to dupe people into believing that- they themselves or the person to whom they are speaking- are much more than a normal human being, which of course is complete deceit. 

We believers/disciples of Christ are fully redeemed when we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and the Lord of our lives.  We have the Kingdom of God, but it will not be fully realized until we meet our LORD one day in the Rapture, or when we die from this Earthly life and pass on to Heaven in Glory for Life-everlasting!

As people/human beings, when each of us passes away, we will either go with Christ to Heaven forever, or if we have rejected Him, we will go to Hell- forever, also.  Both places are very real.  The Bible says that our lifetimes and what is happening here now is a shadow of Life Eternal.

Colossians 2:16-18 (NIV)
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebrations or a Sabbath day.  17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you.  Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

+++Please be sure that you have told God, our Father, that you believe in His Son Jesus Christ; that you know the Son of God died on the cross for your sins, and that you have repented and are accepting Christ into your heart.  Tell the LORD that you want to walk with Jesus now and forever!

Dear Heavenly Father,
I know I have sinned against you.  No matter how awful my sins are, You can take them away from me forever and ever.  I have not kept the Ten Commandments all of my life. Jesus, you put it this way: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and strength, and then love others as you love yourself.  I want to turn away from my past.  I know you put it away from Yourself as far as the east is from the west and as deeply into the ocean where you remember that sin no more.  You completely forgive me, God!  I am so grateful and blessed to be your child!  I believe in Jesus Christ, that He died on the cross for me, arose after three days, stayed with the Disciples and others for 40 days, then He ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father, where He intercedes for us!  Jesus left to take the Crown and to be the King of kings and Lord of Lords! Thank you for your undying Love for me, now and forever.  Help me stay with your Bible, find a good, solid, loving church that exemplifies Your Truth, not some candy-coated, feel-good, meaningless imitation.  I want your Truth and to be in fellowship with people who care and want to be your disciples. 
In Jesus' Name, Amen, So Be It!
