I have been blessed beyond measures ♥ I have learned that friends come and go but friends made sisters through Christ are one of the greatest treasures to be discovered ♥ I have a heart for children, their innocence draws me in and their pure love reflects how we are to love others ♥ I love to do relaxing things ♥ I like going on fun adventures and discovering new things ♥ I love beautiful scenery, it reminds me of how Beautiful God is ♥ I love reading good spiritual books and learning about interesting things from interesting people ♥ I also like to have long conversations about God and life ♥ I respect those who have strong integrity and who consider others more important than themselves ♥ I think the best part about life is making great memories and special bonds with those who care about you the most, as well as sharing God's love with those who have never felt it ♥ It is STRONG! In every sense of the word I have been MOVED by Him! ♥ I also think life is too short to think about it as one long journey, instead live it one day at a time, doing as much as you can now and not holding things off for your future ♥ i never wanna get too caught up in my life to where i forget that i have a purpose here on earth ♥ The most amazing feeling in the world is remembering exactly why you're here and being held by God! ♥ Dont let anyone ever tell you that your not good enough....You were bought at a price, claimed by the blood, and made perfect in His sight ♥ Remember...when you are weak He is strong enough...Faith will bring you through the impossible ♥
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conciet, but in Humility consider Others better than yourselves...look not only to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4
His One Desire
Its this feeling of freedom that soothes my soul
This romanced spirit has turned from cold
Its been unveiled, uncovered, and truly discovered
This unleashed spirit has finally soared
It is my Maker my Husband who I now dance before
It is His gentle sweet embrace that my heart adores and yearns for
Oh the butterflies that He releases
Only in tales of romance it never ceases
The beauty of this purity, innocence, and love
He protects it dearly and for it He will never stop to fight
He has captivated and fully invaded
No longer restless and weary are my thoughts
It is the freedom and liberty that He has declared on my life
That has inspired this fiery warrior bride
In pursuit after His desire, passion, and perfect love
A burning flame now resides
Picturing His smile as He looks at me with awe
Makes it so easy to always prevail and overcome
To seek out this adventure He has prepared
All the things He has cherished and held so dear
The mystery unraveled and nothing can hide
The treasure that He fashioned and buried deep inside
For I am His grand pearl and one desire
The I AM abides in me and no limits can be set
The fullness of His glory will be met
~ by Emma
I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)

How rich are the depths of God How deep his wisdom and knowledge And how impossible to penetrate his motives or understand his methods Who could ever know the mind of the Lord? Who could ever be his counsellor? Who could ever give him anything or lend him anything? All that exists comes from him All is by him and for him To him be glory forever!
Romans 11:33-36

A STATEMENT OF FAITH by Kathryn Kuhlman
I believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of the Living God; that it is the supernaturally inspired Word; that it was written by holy men of old as they were moved and inspired by the Holy Ghost; that it is the only true ground of Christian unity and fellowship. That it is the eternal tribunal by whose standards all men, and nations shall be judged.
I believe in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as Three separate individuals; equal in every Divine perfection.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Whose glory is so exceeding bright that mortal men cannot look upon His face and live. His nature so transcends human standards of comparison that a definition is impossible. If a demonstration of God's existence were possible, He would be too limited to fill the office of Supreme Being and ruler of the universe. Faith begins where reason and logic ends!
I believe that Jesus Christ is the very Son of the Living God, co-existent and co-eternal with the Father, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, taking upon Himself the form of man, and by the shedding of His blood, made atonement for fallen man.
Just as prophecy is the unanswerable argument in the realm of External Evidence, so the Person of Jesus Christ is the unanswerable argument in the realm of Internal Evidence. Not only does His entire life fulfill perfectly the Old Testament prophecies, but His person, towering as it does above every other, is beyond explanation only as we admit Him to be Very God as well as Very Man.
The miraculous life of Christ is an unanswerable argument for His miraculous birth!
I believe in the Holy Spirit is a Person, and a Divine Person, and not just a Divine influence. The marks of personality are knowledge, feeling, and will, and any being who knows, thinks, feels, and wills, is a person whether he has a body or not. All the distinctive marks or characteristics or personality are ascribed to the Holy Spirit in the Word.
As a member of the eternal Trinity, the Holy Ghost has aided in the creation of the earth and its forms of life. He was present at the creation of man. Hence the words: "Let us make man." It was foreordained of the world, that the Holy Ghost should be dominant and controlling in the Church.
I believe that by voluntary disobedience and transgression, man fell from innocence and purity, to the depths of sin and iniquity.
Because of man's fallen state, judgments had to be met, law had to be satisfied, penalties had to be paid; all of these things the holiness of God required.
Jesus Christ the Son, through the Holy Ghost, offered Himself to God the Father as a propitiation for sin; that is why Christ is referred to as "The lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
The blood of Christ is so effective that it not only cleanses from all sin, but one day the effect of that blood shed in Jerusalem nineteen hundred years ago will remove the curse of sin from the earth.
His sinless blood is a sufficient atonement for our sin!
I believe in salvation as a definite experience - an experience through which the individual is no longer under the bondage of sin, but "is passed from death unto life," treasformed by the Power of the Spirit. Quite literally "a new creature in Christ Jesus."
By simple faith, belief in God's Son, and acceptance of Him as Divine Savior, the guilty sinner is made righteous.
I believe in that "called out" body of believers, composed of Jew and Gentile, and individuals from every kindred, people, tribe and nation, originating at Pentecost, and know as "The Body of Christ."
I believe that this Body, comprised of those who have been washed in the shed blood of the Son of God, is to be the Bride of Christ and will reign with Him in His millennial glory.
I believe in miracles!

Fiery Eyes by Lara Landon
"Oh Lord- search me with your fiery eyes. You've sown me together limb by limb, bone and skin You've seen what I've seen and You know where I've been. You know better than I all the defects of men. so un-make me God and then make me again!
let not the well disguised temptations turn me. For the sake of love stop me, brand me, and burn me. If there is one thing more frightening than not feeling Your fire It's the cold-shoulder absence of Your presence, and Your fearsome desire.
I know I've been the fuel, flint and match for hot jealousy but it surprised me to learn my affections were bought so easily. A shame to concede that I am so touched by flattery. Still-don't turn Your Heart from me, don't turn Your Heart from me!
My Lord- Your sore and searching eyes roam the earth for somewhere to rest For a light to fix your gaze on in all the miles of pointed blackness. Let it be me! That Your eyes can rest upon. Let it be me! In the light house calling You with a siren's song.
I pray you don't see me as I am now, I earnestly pray when you search me out- that You would put in me and see a right spirit, a contrite spirit, one that is sorry for empty words and broken vows. who's heart is pure, untouched, and un-aroused by all the shiny things, the big and tiny things, the things made up from dust Put in me a heart that is teachable, that is eager and honest.
You've sown me together limb by limb, bone and skin You've seen what I've seen and you know where I've been. You know better than I all the defects of men. so un-make me God and then make me again! Oh Lord- love me with your fiery eyes."

"When i say im a Christian, im not shouting I AM SAVED, im whispering i get LOST, that is why i choose His way. When i say im a Christian, i dont speak of this with pride, im confessing that i stumble, and need SOMEONE to be my guide. When i say im a Christian, im NOT trying to be strong, im professing that i am WEAK, and pray for strength to carry on. When i say im a Christain, im not bragging of success, im admitting i have FAILED, and i cant EVER pay the debt. When i say im a Christian, im not claiming to be perfect, my flaws are WAY too visible, but God believes IM WORTH it. When i say im a Christian, i STILL feel the sting of pain, i have my share of HEARTACHES, which is WHY i seek HIS name. When i say im a Christain, i do not wish to judge, i have NO authority, i only know ... im LOVED"
