Let's Have A HeartTalk!

Our world is full of people that are searching and starving for Jesus.  People that need the Lord have many similar characteristics:  empty, searching for peace, trapped in darkness, broken, rejected, without hope, wandering, searching for meaning, yearning for belonging, running from one thing to another, trying to fill their lives with constant activity, trying to escape reality, addicted to the things of this world, and on and on. Why do I know some of these characteristics? Because until I was a grown adult and someone shared Jesus with me, those characteristics described my daily lifestyle. You see, I was lost and without hope until I accepted Jesus as my Savior! Lost people look like lost people!!

Do you know Jesus? If you do not know Jesus, you can know Him right now, today, this very minute! He is looking over your life with His love. He knows those that are starving for peace and purpose that can only be found in Him! Here are some simple steps you can take to know Jesus:

• HOPE in HIM ♥ God has some things He'd like for you to know from His heart. God has great plans for you! Jeremiah 29:11-13 was written just for you as God says "'For I know the plans I have for you, ______________ (put your name in the blank)'" declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'"

• BELIEVE in HIM + God Loves You! John 3:16 was written just for you as God says, "For God so loved the world ______________ (put your name in the blank) that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." When you believe God sent Jesus to die on the cross for you and accept the forgiveness He offers, He will wipe your sins away. Then, the communication with God is open.

• TURN to HIM ^ God will forgive your wrongdoings and clean your heart! Acts 3:19 was written just for you as God says, "Turn to God, so that your ___________(put you name in the blank) sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." As you turn away from your sins and turn to God, He helps you make wise decisions. He wants the very best for you!

• CALL on HIM as LORD "HeartCall" God will give you a new heart. It's not enough just to know about Jesus. You must ask Him to lead your life and be your Lord. Romans 10: 9-10, 13 was written just for you as God says, "if you ___________(put you name in the blank) confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."!!

If you would like to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, just call on Him by praying a simple prayer similar to this one from your heart:  "Dear God, I know You have great plans for me and I want to place my hope in You. I believe You love me and sent Jesus to die on the cross for me. Please forgive me and help me turn from my wrongdoings. I want You to lead my life. Amen!"

If you prayed this prayer and meant it, God says you are now a follower of Him, a New Believer with A New Heart!  2 Corinthians 5:17 was written just for you as God says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, you are a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."!

Please share with us of your life-changing decision to follow Christ so that we can rejoice with you, pray for you, and share a simple but wonderful New Believers Guide called "HeartCall: A New Heart", with you!

Now that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can know that He will help you every day and that when you die, you will go to heaven to live with Him forever! 1 John 5:13 was written just for you as God says, "I write these things to you _____________(put your name in the blank) who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life"!

You will also want to take the daily first steps as a follower of Christ:

1. Share HeartTalk with others and tell them of your decision to follow Christ. God will be pleased and you will be His Witness!
2. Join a Bible-believing church and follow Christ's example of baptism. You'll be blessed!
3. Pray daily! Prayer is simply talking to God just like we talk to each other. Share with God why you    love Him and about the things you are trusting Him for. He Always Listens!
4. Read your Bible daily! If you do not have a Bible please let us know so that we can help you get one. As you start reading your Bible, a good place to start is 1 John (don't be embarrassed to look at the table of contents in the front of your Bible to find 1 John). Then read the Gospel of John. Ask God to help you understand what you are reading and He will help you!

Let us hear from you! We would LOVE to know of your decision, answer any questions you may have, support you, and/or pray for you!

God Is Always There For You!

"In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old."  Isaiah 63:9 NASB

God knows your affliction.  He feels your pain.  The Lord promises to carry you through!  You are either in the middle of pain, coming out of pain, or about to experience pain...pain and affliction are a part of life until we see Jesus face to face! 

Someone Needs HOPE!  Often people turn to the Lord in the middle of a crisis of pain and affliction.  God Cares!  God is always there for you and those that He has strategically placed in your life that are experiencing situations where they need the Hope that comes from Him!

What are some simple ways you can share HOPE?

H - Share examples from your life when you received Hope from the Lord that helped you through your pain or afflictions?  Share Him & the Hope He has given you!  Jeremiah 29:11-13 says it best! "For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." (NASB)

O - Share examples from your life when you Opened your life up to the Lord and asked Him to save you!  Share some examples of how He has helped you with your pain or afflictions?  Share Your Testimony With Others!  John 3:16 says it best! “For God so loved the world, that He gave His [a]only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (NASB)

P - Share examples from your life about how the Lord has answered your Prayers & Pray for those that are experiencing pain or afflictions!  Romans 10:9-10, 13 says it best!  "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.  For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed....for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (NASB)

E - Share examples from your life that will Encourage someone that is experiencing pain or afflictions with the encouragement God has given you?  Share God's Promises with those that are hurting!  Here are several promises from God's Word that say it best!; Isaiah 35:3 "Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble." - Romans 15:5 "Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus" - 1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:14 "We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone." & 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20cor%201:3-7&version=NASB (NASB)

Also, when we share songs that are full of Hope, God often uses His Praise & Worship to minister to those that are experiencing pain or afflictions!  He inhabits the Praise of His People = God Is Always There For You!! 

Here is an example of one of those songs of encouragement that is based on the Poem "Footprints in the Sand" & goes so beautifully with Isaiah 63:9 NASB  "In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old."

T.H.I.N.K. Before You Speak!

This picture is full of some awesome powerful truths based on God's Word to T.H.I.N.K. about and practice daily! 

As His witness, the words we speak make a difference in the lives of others!  Let's all T.H.I.N.K. before we speak!  Like many wise women have said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!"  Also, in the world we live today, we could also add, "If you can't text, twitter, or e-mail anything nice, don't post it at all!!"(TJ)

T.H.I.N.K. is based on Ephesians 4:29-30 = "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom ...

you were sealed for the day of redemption." (nasb) LOVE "the message" paraphrase too "Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word is a gift. Don't grieve God. Don't break His heart. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for Himself. Don't take such a gift for granted."!!!!! (the message)

The Holy Spirit gives us the power to be able to live out Ephesians 4:29-30!  The Holy Spirit will Bless you as His Witnesses as you  T.H.I.N.K. about Every Word Shared for His Glory so that None Will Perish!

This song is a great example of Ephesians 4:29-30!

God's Love Never Fails!

1 Corinthians 13
The Message (MSG)


The Way of Love
"If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incomplete will be canceled." ♥1 Corinthians 13:1-10♥ msg

As a grown woman, before I ever heard the name of Jesus, my heart yearned for the kind of love that only God gives! I remember crying myself to sleep night after night as a child and teenager because I needed the kind of love that only God gives! I remember performing in sport after sport (sports was my "god" until I was 22) as I tried to find purpose and love in my life that only God gives! I remember (and I pray I never forget) all the emptiness that is in every life that is searching for the kind of love that only God gives! Jesus is Love & He Loves YOU with the kind of love that every person is searching for...A Love that NEVER Fails!!!

Who do we know that needs God's Love? Let's share Jesus and His Love with everyone that God puts in the path of our lives, you never know, who is searching and crying out for God's Love that Never Fails!!!

God Has Great Plans For You!

Please Read and memorize Jeremiah 29:11-13. With those promises in your heart, begin to evaluate your life goals:



♥Are your goals and plans specific?
♥Are your goals and plans God centered?
♥What changes do you need to make in order to set and meet the goals and plans God has for your life?
♥Who can you share Jeremiah 29:11-13 with that needs JESUS & the HOPE that these promises give?

•Keep a journal as you write down goals, plans, and changes while you follow God & His Word.
•Share your goals, plans, and changes with someone that you trust as they encourage you and hold you accountable.

Psalm 139:16 "All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

Luke 11:28 "Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Take Advantage of the Moment

            II Kings 5 shows a great testimony of a young girl whose name is not even mentioned in the Bible and who only appears in one verse. If you have your Bible handy, read the chapter. Naaman was a captain in King Aram’s army. Verse one tells us that he was a great man, a valiant warrior, and was highly respected……BUT he had leprosy. The Aramean army had gone out and had taken a young girl from Israel captive in one of their conquests; she became the maid to Naaman’s wife.



Now, back up and think about what was just said. A little girl was taken from her family, her religion, her homeland and everything that was ever familiar to her.....to become the servant of one of the very men that put her in those circumstances. THAT would be hard to accept!


However, instead of complaining or sulking, she evidently accepted her situation and did not give up her faith in God nor her desire to make Him known. She tells Naaman’s wife: “I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy.” If I were her, I am pretty sure that would not be my attitude towards the man that dragged me from my family.


Isn't it amazing that just that one mention of her in verse 3 resulted in Namaan going to Israel, seeing Elijah, being healed of his leprosy, and his coming to know the God of Israel. Verse seventeen says, “your servant will no longer offer burnt offering nor will he sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.” Wow! He came to know the personal God of Israel because she took advantage of an opportunity to say and do what she could to point Naaman to God. Scripture doesn’t say, but doesn’t it seem likely to you that the rest of his household probably came to know Him through Naaman? The faithfulness of one little girl certainly impacted more people than she probably ever dreamed! That nameless young servant speaks volumes to me:


* She was selfless in her circumstances.
* Her eyes were not on herself, but on others.
* She took advantage of a moment where she could verbally testify about God.
* She did what she could and where she could.
* She was faithful to courageously speak out about her faith.


“Lord, help me be as selfless as she was and to daily look for opportunities to speak about You no matter where I am or what I am doing.”

Being The Church Through The Fire!

"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you...as though something strange were happening to you....as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when His glory is revealed...Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good." 1 Peter 4: 12, 13, 19 ESV

Much of Texas and many other States are experiencing devastating fires right now! As our hearts and prayers are extended to those that have been hurt, lost their homes, and are experiencing much pain right now, this is a huge opportunity reach out to people with God's Love & Faith through the fire! Sharing Jesus during times of crisis are some of the greatest opportunities for people that need the Lord to come to the Lord!

Please join us in praying and giving to those that have needs right now because of the many fires across our Nation! Please pray for those that are on the frontlines working tirelessly to put out the fires! Please pray for Christians as they reach out to others and Be The Church!!

Here are a couple of INSPIRATIONAL videos that are great examples of The Family of God Being The Church to Others!! Let's All Go Out Today & Everyday & Be The Church!!

Planning Ahead With Purpose!

"A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is! The way of life winds upward for the wise, That he may turn away from hell below." Proverbs 15:23-24 NKJV


"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:..." Ecc.3:1 NKJV
I love how God created the seasons and how He causes them to change...just about every 3 months. Right now, with the temperature over 100 degrees everyday, it doesn't "feel" like a new season is coming, BUT IT IS!!! "Autumn~Fall" is about to be in the air and this is a great time to do some evangelistic planning ahead with purpose!

As we look at the calendar we are already beginning to prepare for the seasonal activities that we know are about to take place in our lives and in the lives of others around us: Back-to-School, Muffins with Mom, Donuts with Dad, Moving back to College Campuses, Posting upcoming Fall Family Activities on the calendar, and more!

During the new season we are about to enter, let's ask God to help us see opportunities to share Jesus using some creative "seasonal" ideas.
God has created you with your creative thoughts and gifted you through His Spirit to share Him with others through His Strength & Courage! I would like to encourage all of you to finish today's blog by sharing 3 of your ideas with all of us! You can share your ideas in one of several ways; on this blog at the bottom, on my facebook page, or you can send me your ideas by my e-mail address and I will post them for you...as we share ideas and read the ideas of others please put the ideas into practice as we are networking together to make this a Fresh Season Full of our Savior:-)!

Ok, I will get us started with a couple of ways that I have has the privilege of sharing Jesus during the Autumn~Fall season of life:
Back to School Backpacks: Shared with moms/children that are visitors at church; the backpacks can be filled with school supplies-snacks & age appropriate witnessing booklets (1 for child & 1 for parent)!
9-11 Patriot Cups of Encouragement: Since the tragic attack that our Nation went through on September 11th, this year will be monumental as there will be a "10 years since 9/11 focus", ask God to use this time of the year as an opportunity to reach out to military families-veterans-anyone that may serve our nation in anyway; you can use a coffecup/mug/teacup that you already have (if you are like me you have extras!) Fill this cup of encouragement with small tokens of God's Love (scripture cards/bookmark/candy/small lotion/tea bag/individual coffee bags/etc.) BUT most of all include the Good News of Jesus Christ through a witnessing booklet!
Fall Festival of Faith: As your church or community holds Fall events...what are some ways that we can take that day and make it "the Lord's Day" and fill it with ideas that point others to Jesus?

Praying that the new Season we are entering will be "A New Season to Share our Savior" in many new creative ways!!

Getting Ready for THE Royal Wedding!

"But you are a chosen race, a ROYAL priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light"! ♥1 Peter 2:9♥ (hcsb)

The Royal Wedding...It's all over the media, Royal Wedding BUZZ is everywhere, especially this week as Prince William & his bride to be, Kate, prepare for their big day. There are many many preparations taking place before the big wedding day.


This event has caused me to think about The Bride of Christ and the many many preparations that are taking place as Christians are preparing for the return of the King of all Kings, Jesus Christ! As The Bride of Christ, are a Child of The King, and we are called to be daily getting ready for The Groom of all Grooms = JESUS? What are some preparations we must "make herself ready" for the Marriage of the Lamb that is described in Revelation 19:7 "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the Glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."?


1. Make Sure You Are A Member of The Bride of Christ! Accept God's INVITATION to THE Royal Wedding = HEAVEN, by Accepting Jesus and your Lord & Savior!! Has there been a specific time that you admitted you were a sinner in need of a Savior and believed that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead as you confess Him as Lord of your life and accept the Gift of Salvation? "Come!" Anyone who hears should say "Come!" And the one who is thirsty should come. Whoever desires should take the Living Water as a Gift."! Revelation 22:17

2. Make Specific Daily Preparations as A Member of The Bride of Christ to be Ready for The Marriage of the Lamb! How? Accept God's Plans For Your Life!! ♥Jer.29:11-13♥ Make Yourself Ready Daily = Believe, Pray, Read/Study your Bible, Share your Faith with Others, Join a Bible Believing Church and Serve the Lord, Turn from wrongdoings as you keep your heart clean & holy in the Lord through confession/forgiveness, Disciple Others, Obey The Lord through Love of THE GROOM~JESUS!

"So if anyone purifies himself/herself from these things, he/she will be a special instrument, set apart, useful to The Master, prepared for every good work. Flee youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels. The Lord's must not quarrel, and must be gentle to everyone, able to teach, and patient, instructing with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance to know the truth." 2 Timothy 2:21-25 (hcsb)

Love Is An Action Verb!

The season of "Love" is upon us, Happy Valentines Day to you!

During this season, when you hear God's words, "Love One Another" what is the first evangelistic thought that comes to your mind? My first thought is, "who needs God's Love and the demonstration of the LOVE of CHRIST today?"

"Do not fear, O Zion (O Sister in Christ); do not let your hands hang limp (have you given up or are you worn out so you are unable to demonstrate the LOVE OF CHRIST to others?). The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."!! ♥Zephaniah 3:16-17♥

Dear Praying Sisters in Christ, when is the last time we have shared God's Love with someone that needs Jesus, which may even include weeping? When is the last time that we covered someone else, especially someone that needs Jesus, from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet with encouraging words and prayers of protection? ♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB!

It is good to stop and remember that the enemy is constantly on the prowl roaring (lying to whoever he can and trying to paralyze God's witnesses with fear = False Evidence Appearing Real) and trying to cause someone to doubt God's Giftedness upon their life. The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, the weapon we fight the enemy with on the front lines of evangelistic ministry! ♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB!

When the truth of God's Word is spoken into our lives and the lives of others, God extinguishes the flaming arrows of attack that are being launched everyday! Are we willing to "fight the good fight"? Are we covering each others backs in prayer? ♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB!

Do you know that there is someone, tonight, that is crying herself to sleep and/or waking up each morning in doubt or despair as they wonder if anyone really cares about them (that is what my life was like without Christ!)? Do you know that there is someone that feels like they are in a dark pit; for example, right now in Alaska women are in a season of darkness because of winter, lets send our prayers to them because someone needs the LIGHT of God's Love! ♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB!

Urgent Breaking News Flash: God is calling us to speak Good News words of hope and blessing from His Love Letter (The Word of God) into the lives that the path of our life crosses ! ♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB!

Because of Jesus, we are GIFTED BY GOD to be His Gifted2Go evangelistic encourager and prayer warrior as we remember; "He takes great delight in you, He quiets you with His Love, and rejoices over you with singing"! ♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB!

♥LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB, an ACTION VERB that was demonstrated ON THE CROSS by JESUS who LOVED US and GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US "For God so LOVED the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16.....let's PASS HIS LOVE ON, IN JESUS' NAME & 4 HIS GLORY to people that need the Lord, AMEN & AMEN♥

What To Wear!

"So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as The Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment."!! Colossians 3:12-14 (msg)



Everyday we ask ourselves, "what am I going to wear today?" There is even a TV show that is called "What Not To Wear"...when I saw that title, it made me think about God's words to us on what we should "put on" and "wear" everyday! No matter what season it is, no matter what size we are, no matter what is "in style", no matter what...Colossians 3:12-14 teaches us, as God's chosen children..."What To Wear"! Good News...One Size Fits ALL BELIEVERS!!

Why does it matter what we put on and wear everyday? All we have to do is read the newspapers, listen to the most recent tragic breaking news, and reflect on what is going on around us to see why it is so important to put on God's Garments each day and share them with others! This is something we cannot do on our own, we must ask God to supernaturally allow us to wear His loving example & walk in ways that reflect His Image!!



When we wear God's Garments, people who need the Lord, and believers that need to borrow some of what we are wearing, will See Jesus on everyone of the tags of the clothing that we have on...from the inside out!

As we put on and wear what is from The Lord, it is very important to know "What NOT to Wear"! Colossians 3:1-11 teaches believers what NOT to wear and/or what to take off/put away daily! "rid yourselves (clean out the closets of our heart) of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on your new self, which is being renewed in the image of its Creator..." Colossians 3: 8-10 (NIV)

We live in a world that is raging against God and many people against one another; therefore, we have an even more urgent calling from God to "Put On His Righteousness" that is always in style!!!

• Please read Colossians 3 ♥Please memorize/meditate on the verse that is 4U!


• What are some things/clothes that God wants us to "take off-get rid of"?


• What Do We Need To Wear Everyday?!!!
