Happy Brain-Boosting Wednesday!!!

"Did you know???..."
That the word Bible…
                              Is NOT in the Bible?!? 
"...Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll NOW YOU DO, annnnnnnnnd don't you FORGET IT!!!" 
(AIO BTV quote;)
Well the reason WHY it's not in the Bible is because it just means BOOK...in Greek!!! 
"Bible (From the Greek Biblia, Meaning "Books") ."
Yeah, I've been studying Greek...JUUUUUUUUUUST KIDDING!!!
(More like studying GOOGLE!!!;)

What can the devil not do???

Question: What can the devil NOT do???
I was thinkin the other day ALL that the devil will do to try and take away someone's testimony. The devil can take away our joy and our happiness. He can take away our innocence and purity and corrupt our minds. He can take away our peace and hope for our future... He can take away our morals and ethics and rightousness. He can take it ALL AWAY...and leave us empty and broken...he can do all that...IF you let him...
 .
BUT despite ALL that the devil CAN take from you, there is ONE THING that the devil CAN NEVER take from you, he can't EVER take away from you, WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE FOR YOU!!!!
 .
The devil wants to ruin you. He wants to destroy you. He wants make you think that you can't make it. That you've failed, turned your back on God so why even bother. Why keep trying? He wants to take away what God's done for you...BUT he can't. The devil can't ever change what God has ALREADY DONE!!!  
 .
If you have ever obeyed Acts 2:38, repented of your sins, been baptized in Jesus name, YOUR SINS were washed away and the devil can't EVER change that!!! God has already FORGIVEN YOU!!! He has already filled YOU with the HOLY GHOST!!! You may be living a life right now that is away from God, you may need to repent, you may need a REFILLING of the Holy Ghost, buuuuuuuut that STILL does NOT change what God already did for you!!! He has ALREADY brought you salvation!!!  He has already redeemed YOU!!! There is NOTHING the devil can never do to change that!!!
.
 The devil can't take away the fact that Jesus already paid the price for your sin! The devil can't ever change the fact the he who knew NO SIN, became sin so that we could become the righteousness of God! God ALREADY DID IT! The devil can NEVER change that! What it comes down to ultimately is one thing...CALVARY!!! It doesn't matter what you do or what you have done or what anyone says...the devil can NEVER take away CALVARY!!! Jesus has ALREADY died for YOU and there is nothing, nothing, NOTHING the devil can ever do to take that away!!!
.
Question: What can the devil NOT do???
.
Answer: He can't change WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY DONE!!!

Happy Monday!!!

How many of you remember that song; It would have been enough, if he brought life, it would have been enough, if he brought joy, it would have been enough, if he brought peace, BUUUUUUUUUUUUT, he put laughter into MY SOUL!!! Isn't laughter such an amazing gift from God?! In the midst of turmoil, strife, stress, sickness and tough times, GOD STILL GIVES US LAUGHTER!!! This week, find laughter in the middle of your circumstances and when you do, REMEMBER: GOD IS GOOD
SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!!!

Blog Challenge Question!!!

What is the best advice you were ever given???
That's a very good question, thank you for asking me!!! The best advice I've ever been given was from my mom and it was simply this:
.
She'd say, Mary, there's an old saying that says, you can't make all of the people, happy all the time. She'd always tell me this when I was trying to be a people-pleaser, WHICH SHE WAS NOT, then she'd say, you know what that means? What Mom??? It means...
"You can't make everyone happy,
 so just live to make GOD happy!!!"
.
Annnnnnnnnd soooooo I do!!!

WHY the name???

I was listening to Focus On The Family earlier and the man was telling a story about a little boy that was lost in the grocery store. So this little boy started calling out his mommy's name! He said, "Heather! Heather! HEATHER!!!" Finally his mommy heard him and came and rescued him from being lost. But after she hugged him and calmed him down she asked him WHY he called her Heather and not just MOMMY??? And the little boy said, because Mommy, there are A LOT of mommies in this store...BUUUUUUUUUUUT I WANTED...
MY MOMMY!!!
.
Now, this had absolutely NOTHING to do with the point of the story that the radio was saying, buuuuuuuuuut this got me to thinking, when I was in college, writing for the college paper, I was writing an inspiring story and I was quoting the girl that the story was written about and I wrote, that she said she found love in the arms of Jesus. My teacher, who was a "Christian" said, how about, INSTEAD of saying in the arms of JESUS, how about we paraphrase her to say she found love in the arms of GOD! I was just kinda like, okaaaaaay buuuuut I don't really see WHYYYY??? I mean, after all, JESUS IS GOD!!!
.
 She said, well because when you say God, people are MORE ACCEPTING of that, because almost everyone believes in God in some sort of way or the other. Muslims, Jews, Hindu, Budhists, Bahai, ...they all believe in God, so they won't mind reading God, buuuuut WHEN YOU SAY, Jesus, now your being exclusive, because most people believe in God, buuuuut they don't believe that JESUS IS GOD!!! Weeeeeeeeellll...this DID NOT SET WELL WITH ME AT ALL!!! I mean, I HAD NO problem just saying God, UNTIL she explained to me WHY! That's what I call watering down and diluting the message, compromising...annnnd YES...also the reason WHY I didn't make it as a Christian in a career of Journalism!!! LOL
.
You wanna know WHY I like to say JESUS, soooo much WHEN I PRAY??? Because, this world is filled with "gods," buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...when I have a problem, when I have a need, when I am afraid, when I need a shelter, when I need a friend, when I'm scared and alone, I DON't just want any ol god, I SAY JESUS!!!
BECAUSE...
I WANT MY GOD!!!
