TheRay's Destiny

  The other day my aunt and I were talking about how persons who aren't saved are under the impression that God is not close to them.  Or, that He doesn't hear their prayers. I am not sure if this is because of Christians gatekeeping the grace of God that made unbelievers feel like they are too dirty to be seen by God, but today, I want to debunk that theory. There is no doubt that m any of us believers have been in situations where we warded off praying to God, or interrupted our fast, or even avoided reading the Word of God because the enemy reminded us of the sin we had committed prior. How many of us even tried to avoid conversing with God or even denying ourselves of His promise because we felt unworthy of doing so? We have the excuse and we make do with the excuse to avoid being seen as filthy in God's sight. I want to tell you today that it is all a ploy and an attack of the enemy to make us feel this way. Dirty. Filthy. Unworthy. Too sinful. Unable to be redeemed. T...

  Welcome back to our series on the Fruits of The Spirit!  Before we dive into our next fruit, I want to remind you of our 'Share Your Stories' section.  It's where you go to share your testimonies or stories that you would like to share with the world. You can email us and it will be posted here right on the blog to help inspire and give hope to others.    The Fruit this month is Peace! Peace known in Greek as Eirene (I-ray-nay) means to be harmonious with each other, at rest, quiet, content, and friendly.  Webster's dictionary explains it as being free from disturbance; tranquility.  When I began to write this post two scripture came to mind.  Isaiah 26:3  " You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you" And,  Romans 12:18  "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone"  Peace is something that many of us desire in our lives.  I would even go ...

I thought I had it all figured out, A victim of what the enemy was portraying The devil made me feel like I didn't need anything or anyone. I was bad on my own, I was slaying The devil took me so far out to sea, no lifeline to phone home. I thought the waves were my friends, my supporters, my own. I thought I was going to make it to the top with my bags Carry every strife, and jealousy and count the rebukes as just lags But, I'm glad He never turned His back on me God held His hand hovering by my side, while He let me be. Gently guiding me until one day I'll be completely free He's a superhero, super in the very best of the word He not only saved me but the entire world. He's a savior, He rescues not only my body but my mind  He's a hero that comes right in time! ~J&M Remedies

 Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God"  Psalm 24:3-4 "Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully" Another year we have made it and with all the excitement of seeing another 12 chapters, we also must take into consideration that it is shortening the time of when Christ shall return.  We do not know the day nor the hour, but I am aware that the clock started the moment Jesus ascended into Heaven. Where am I going with all of this? Well, we know in the last days that many men (humankind) will become lovers of themselves. We also know that our hearts will begin to wax cold.  Take this as a simple reminder to remember to keep your heart from such things.  A reminder to stay pure in the heart. As we go on throughout this year let us remember to keep clean hands.  God still requires us to love one anot...

No love. If these walls can talk, it would tell them that they had tried everything but the One He sits high and looks down low, His blinks control the sun.  It would tell them that if they try His system then it won't hurt as much It would tell them that He would love them be...

  Acts 4:12 "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved"  I've been in countless situations where when it comes to my rescue I either try to save myself or try to get another person to do it.  It took me a long time to figure out that in everything, only God will be able to bring me out.  I had looked to friends,  devices, family, my mother especially, and even to my husband when I find myself in a bind, but in the end, God showed me that it was only Him that I truly need. Now, the process of Him showing you this is a tough one to swallow.  Especially when your faith was as weak as mine was.  I didn't trust to depend on God too much when things get really real in my life.  I had this horrible mindset that the issue may be too big for God. That I needed to handle this myself.  So, when it came time to changing where I look for help, it was hard.  I know, we have a ...
