About Me


Jesus Can Deliver You of Anything! I know because He did it for me! Just give him a chance and WATCH what he can do! Do you think the choices you've made in the past can not be forgotten? If you think that you have made your own bed and must now lie in it and suffer for your choices then I challenge you to read the Bible and you will see Just what OUR GOD will do if you only ASK and BELIEVE! We all have Choice, and as Humans we have all fallen short on perfection. We may have thought we had it all figured out and for a while it might have seemed that way.. But There is only ONE that can truly be Perfect and Even in His Perfect Ness.. He is the ONLY one that will always Forgive what We ask Forgiveness of. No other can take all the mistakes and horrible things of your past and upon your surrendering Throw Them STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW! As far as the East is From the West~ He remembers them NO MORE! That means you are CLEAN. Washed . FRee . White As Snow . Even if you have a stumble- God says He is there to comfort you and welcome you back with Open arms! So what's Stopping You. Why not. Become New. Be who You know God wants You to be. Now go out and Conquer and Possess All of your Strongholds! Bring Em DOWN Bring EM Down!

When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I'm NOT shouting "I'm clean living'." I'm whispering "I was lost, NOW I'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need CHRiST to be my guide. When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I'm NOT trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak And need HiS strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I'm NOT bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed And need GOD to clean my mess. When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I'm NOT claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, GOD believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches So I call upon HiS name. When I say... "I am a CHRiSTiAN" I'm NOT holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner Who RECiEVED GOD'S good grace by choice!

I would LIke to Meet EveryBody in the WORLD! at least once.. at least in passing.. at least in general.... Diversion for The Salvation Army?

Lord Keep Our Hearts and Minds FOCUSED ON DOING UR BUSINESS | Be About The Father's Business!

I LOVE ALL MY MYSPACE FRIENDS I Live for The Most High. My life is not my own. I am here for a purpose! I have been saved! I can not contain the joy of my Salvation! I have been called to Share the Good News with AS many As I can. As Many..as Many as I possibly Can! If you peak at my friends list you will notice I have friends from all walks.I do not claim to be in agreement with each individual I call friend. I pray that each friend find the Hope I have found in Jesus and have the strength to Live for Christ. We are all at different steps in our walk and All of my friends are not what some would call "cookie cutter" christians. I honestly believe that God is awesome enough to make each person with a particular purpose. Which means Diversity- He has created a great display of differences amongst us and that is why we are not all called to be the same- look the same- wear the same- teach the same. We need to reach the WORLD. All of it. Not just the pretty stuff but all of it. If you are one of those cookie cutter christians and this upsets you I am sorry that you can not get on board with What we are all Called to do as true believers. For reference if you are not following where Im going. Some key verses: Luke 15:4...... 1 Peter 2:25.....It is because Our Father in Heaven loved us that He sent His Son to live among us, a sinful world .... Jesus Came, talked with, ate with, traveled with, and ministered to Guess who?= Yup.. Questionable characters. Those individuals you probably wouldnt want sitting next to you on a bus are the ones that we are SUPPOSED TO put ourselves around. How else do we Shine Our Light? Jesus did not come for the Righteous ! I have been asked in the past- how can you accept a person that is doing something like that? Some have said- Until you clean up your myspace friendslist I can not include myself among those unholy people...WOW ! You remind me of the Pharisees. My response is.. I have been that person! I have been in that situation- sure not exactly but close enough to be able to relate. I remember before I found Truth... I was a product of this Messed up World... I am Eternally thankful for the individuals that allowed God to work through them and DIDNT GIVE UP ON ME. Each time I laughed in their face they came back.. Sowing more seed... New people that could have ran from the awfulness I represented instead smiled and shared God's Love... Eventually I reflected on what was shared with me... And because it is our choice, when I was ready I CHOSE LIFE!(ETERNAL LIFE) It is my Prayer that each person in my friends list Find Jesus. That each individual fill their internal void with the only thing that actually fulfills ~Jesus~ Brothers n Sisters we are the Skin put to this "Jesus" they hear about -by this I am saying ... Let Jesus Live through you... We are the only example some will have of what it means to follow Christ.. I WILL NOT EXCLUDE ANY OF GODS CHILDREN. I LOVE THEM, CUZ THEY ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO GOD AS ME SINCE THEY TOO ARE GOD'S CREATION....Would U have Turned your back ON JESUS if YOU SEEN HIS FRIENDS LIST? I always think.. Am I the one that has life experience that can help lead this person to Christ? I WILL NOT SURPRESS WHAT A GIFT I WAS GIVEN!

I Just Love..Comedy, suspense, and basically all movies that don’t get high box office sales or not even get sent there... Those hidden jewels... the ones that hardly anybody has seen but once they do LOVE THEM!!! I love finding those! ***Recently God has challenged me about the movies I view; I have had to pass on a few that I just knew I would not be glorifying him in anyway by watching. The Holy Spirit within us can show us of things we had no idea before welcoming Jesus into our life. I am always so Amazed at just what changes are taking place

powered by The Holy Spirit Within Us What Does it mean to be Born again and Spirit Filled?
Invest any time looking around on my page and its plain to see....I'm a Christian, AKA Ive Been Born Again, (sometimes called one of those crazy born agains, Or Jesus Freaks, Or Bible Thumbers, Holy Roller, Or God Girl) Know I know there are lots of different "denominations" out there, but Jesus didn't teach on the topic of denominations, He simply said we needed to be "born again." YES JESUS ACTUALLY SAID IT- WE MUST BE "Born again", these words are from the bible Jesus said "...unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) That means exactly what it says, If you are not born again, you will not enter into God's kingdom. (God's kingdom AKA Heaven, Eternal Life, Eternal Joy, Eternal Peace, Everlasting Life, Paradise, no more suffering, no more pain, no more sorrow, no more tears! Sounds like a wonderful place right? I can't wait to go there & hope to see you here. There is only one way to get there as stated before!!) Being Born again means to have a new birth .. different from the one where you came out of your mother's womb. This Birth (second Birth or Rebirth) involves the Birth of SPIRIT! The HOLY SPIRIT which was a GIFT to you (and ALL) when Jesus took on our sins and died then rose again. Then sent the Holy Spirit to live within us- and not just fall upon select people like in the Old Testament. So this Birth - your Rebirth is actually when the Holy Spirit Comes to LIVE in YOU. You see we are born once into this world in a natural way through our mother's womb, but then there is a spiritual birth that takes place when we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ and accept him as our Lord and Saviour. When we do this we become BORN again. We are then Reborn, it is a second birth which allows us to come in to communion with God's spirit, giving us the free gift of entering into God's kingdom. This is makin sense Right? cool.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` The only way to make your spirit truly come alive by being born again is by going to the one who has conquered death itself and holds the keys to death and life. This free gift is found in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has died for us, and risen from the grave, and since he lived a sinless life, when we accept him into our hearts to wash away our sins, our sins are erased and we become a new Creation, and we become Born Again. After we become born again, we then have a chance to become filled with the spirit of God, His HOLY SPIRIT. In the book of Acts Chapter 1 verse 8, Jesus said this before he went up to heaven after he rose from the dead,
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;"
The word POWER here in its original meaning of the Greek writings, is the word Dunamis. This word Dunamis is translated as miraculous power, and also a worker of miracles. Some Christians today believe that we don't have this same power anymore.And I know that it seems hard to believe in that power if you have never witnessed it yourself. But that is like saying that we don't need the Holy Spirit anymore. The Holy Spirit has not changed. What has changed is our hearts and attitudes and our methods of distraction, that we think we can just play church without the power of the Holy Spirit. Well then we are wrong. We need this same Holy Spirit that was used in the book of Acts. In Acts 1:8, Jesus is talking to the disciples! He was telling them that they were going to soon recieve power! Hold up a minute? I thought the disciples were already casting out demons, and doing miracles? So whats up with that? Here's What~ the Holy Spirit had not yet filled them completely. See they already believed in Christ, but they had not been totally submerged in God's power. It is the same way today. There are many who believe in the bible, and believe in Jesus, however they are missing out on all that God has for them. We should not put limits on God, our God is a supernatural ALL powerful God, He is well capable of doing miracles, and he chooses to do them through US! Wow, thats awesome! Check out what Jesus said here in John 14:12
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father"
now some people say.. well we don't believe that he meant that literally... well ya know what I say? Okay then you will get what you believe! It's funny how some accuse people who walk in God's power of doing that in the name of satan.. CRAZY how the Church in Jesus' time accused Jesus falsely of working miracles in the name of satan! Check this out Jesus said in Mark 11:23
"For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you recieve them and you will have them."
Spiritual gifts are for TODAY,and for YOU!, because what Jesus said yesterday, goes for today as well. Because "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8) . Jesus said
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
(Mark 16:15-18) Isn't it clear from these scriptures that Jesus said we as believers will cast out demons, speak in new tongues, be able to lay hands on sick people and have them be healed! Yes, and who does this apply to? Did Jesus say, "this only applies to you 12 apostles."? NO!~ Jesus said "And these signs will follow THOSE WHO BELIEVE" So if you are a believer in Christ, that means Christ Jesus has given you the authority to do these things, we are not powerless, we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ. The bible is not a fairy tale book or just a dusty History book, It is the WORD OF LIFE and the WORD is true, but we need a powerful thing called faith to activate these words, what type of faith? Childlike faith. These words are so simple that a child can grasp them and be used powerfully by God. You don't need to have a Doctrine from a university or Study in Seminary for several years to gain enough wisdom and knowledge to understand the things of God. NO... all you need is childlike faith and obedience to God's word to enter into the kingdom of God and to walk in God's power. God is available for ANYBODY and EVERYBODY! To understand His Will just takes Faith and Obedience.. The Gift has already been Given now it is up to you to accept it, unwrap it, cherish it, and hold it close to your heart! IT IS YOURS. SALVATION IS HERE!
