 Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for Your Word, Your Spirit inside of us, and Your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Are you thinking about reading the Bible, and have no clue where to start? Don't think, just read! Amen. Seriously, however, which version of the Bible is the best, or most accurate, version to read? It may surprise some people to know that the King James version is considered one of the most accurate English translations of the Holy Bible today! A group of 54 translators worked 7 years to complete the King James translation. What does God say about His Word? Psalm 12:6 "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." Purified seven times: Is it a coincidence that the King James Version is a culmination of six previous translations, with the King James Bible being the seventh, Purified Seven Times, as follows: Tyndale Bible Coverdale Bible Matthew's Bible Great Bible Geneva Bible Bishop's Bible King James Bible Now, I do not think it matters which version we read, as long as we read it. Personally, when I started studying the Bible in 2019, I was blinded by the ruler of this world, and I found it very difficult to understand the King James Version. So, I began studying God's Word in an easy-to-read Bible. Then, next, I read the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation, in an Amplified Version, which is more pages, more words, because it explains a lot of passages. And, finally, I was called to read His Word in the King James Version, which I just completed recently, and have since started reading it again at Genesis. Honestly, God does not care which version we read, and if He does care, He will let you know. Just read it! He is waiting to show YOU great and mighty things. Call unto Him. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 I have said this many times, but it is worth repeating: Praying is how we talk to God, and reading His Word is how He talks to us. God Bless You-All. Amen.

 Is the Bible, God's Holy Word, inspired by Him? Don't take my word for it. God's Word should always be our fact-checker: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 2 Timothy 3:16 This week, I had a long chat with someone in the comments section of one of my posts on bitchute.com. You can read our conversation about Jephthah, one of God's Judges, by clicking here. The last thing the commenter reiterated was that the Bible, God's Holy Word, is a Luciferian Bible, Satan's Bible, and that Christians have basically been duped. If the Bible is a Luciferian book, then Satan has a really bad business plan, because he created over 2.5 billion people (Christians), who love everyone, want peace, help the needy, hate abortion, love innocent life, and hate wickedness, or unrighteousness. All of these things are antithesis to, or against, Satan's very reason for existence, his mode of operation, his business plan. As Jesus said in Matthew 12, 25 "And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?" Also, I did a little research on what Satanists think of God's Holy Bible, and what I found was enlightening. They believe the Bible is full of myths and fairy tales, and they do not use it. They have their own satanic bible. I cast down to the pits of hell all evil imaginations. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. Sacrifices and burnt offerings are NOT from God, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning. Jeremiah 7 22 "For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward." After their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, saying what they want to hear, instead of the Word of God: 2 Timothy 4 3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." Remember, Satan was cast down, fallen, and whispering in the ears of men, deceiving nations, a murderer, and a liar, the father of lies, who caused the whole world to sin. God is love. God is good. Everything God created is perfect. James 1 17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." Do everything in love! 1 Corinthians 16:14 If you are not saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, or if you are not sure, follow along and say "the Prayer of Salvation" out loud by clicking the below image, and YOU can know Jesus as well. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 Read the Bible, obey God, pray, and God will show you great and mighty things. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Welcome to the Family. Love in Christ, Melanie   This is something God put on my heart in 2021. At the time, I woke up, half awake, in the twilight, with great thanksgiving and praise and glory in my heart to our Heavenly Father. He was very excited in me, and was yelling,
GIVE THANKS! GIVE PRAISE! GIVE GLORY! Psalm 24 verses 8 through 10 8 "Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah." For our God is righteous and fierce. "The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." Psalm 145 verse 17 "Thy fierce wrath goeth over me . . ." Psalm 88 verse 16 And I just kept feeling, as I lie there hearing over and over, GIVE THANKS! GIVE PRAISE! GIVE GLORY! people were kneeling all around, everywhere, up and down the streets, and bowing and cheering and celebrating, and giving THANKS! PRAISE! and GLORY! To our Heavenly Father, the creator of the heavens and the earth, in whose likeness and image we are ALL created, and by whom, we were bought with a heavy price, the blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, so that we, wretched man, could be made whole in His perfection, and receive the gift of Everlasting Life! God will NOT be mocked, and He WILL receive His due THANKS! PRAISE! and GLORY! "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name." Hebrews 13 verse 15 "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD." Psalm 150 verse 6 Remember the story of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, as he cried out to the God of Abraham in 2 Chronicles 20 verse 9, as the Ammonites and Moabites were threatening Jerusalem: "If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help." Jehoshaphat cried further, "O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee." 2 Chronicles 20 verse 12 And what did our God respond? 2 Chronicles 20 verses 15 through 18 15 "And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. 16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you. 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord." GIVING THANKS! GIVING PRAISE! GIVING GLORY! As in the days of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, God is fighting this battle for us, and we have already seen the proof that he has won. Now it is time to see the battle, to see what has been hidden in darkness. All will be revealed. About a week ago, I told my husband that God put on my heart, Brace for impact, and the following day, I heard a prophet say those exact words. Today, I tell you-all: Brace for impact. The world will be a different place when God is finished, a better place for God’s Children. Do not listen to the false prophets, who are the fake news, social(ism) media censorship, dishonest leaders (political and church). They cannot stand against Our God. Listen to God, and to His Word. His Word is the Truth! And, in this season of giving thanks, and always, let us give all Thanks to our GOD! Praise to our GOD! Glory to our GOD! Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  Images above, left to right: Rosehips thorn bush; Virginia creeper vine; King Bolete wild mushroom. Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, and in the blood sacrifice of your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Thank you that this Power is for us, Your Children. Let Your Words and Your Will always be ours, and let Your children see and hear. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. Sometimes it can take a minute or two, or year or two, to understand what God is telling us, or me, because as is often the case, I started writing this on August 4, 2022. Just today, I realized what God has been trying to tell me. Actually, He began showing me this through scripture and other videos about physics, which I first posted about a couple of years ago here at "God and Physics." So, I am a really slow learner. Forgive me, Lord. Many times I have written that God's Word is alive and powerful, but what about our own words? Just this morning, I began to realize what God has been showing or trying to show me, that our words are alive as well. Because God will never forsake us, and He promises to show us great and mighty things, He gave my husband and me examples this year of how our words create. I mean, I am sure there are many examples in our lives everyday, but these four were undeniable. Bear with me, because this may sound a little crazy, but our God is a supernatural God, right? So, supernatural can seem a little crazy if we do not have faith in God and His Word. Also, I do not believe in coincidences as much as I did before God was in my life. I saw a meme last year that said something like, Coincidences are God-inspired opportunities. Amen. So, the first three examples of our words creating that happened in our lives this year were concerning our yard, the front yard, a big ugly hill in the front of our house to be more precise. This hill could be called a proverbial thorn in our sides, which will seem funny in a moment. It is covered in useless vines that don't even flower; they just cover everything; and there is other equally useless stuff growing on the hill as well. Last year, I was thinking a lot about the hill; thinking about, and researching, what we could plant on it that may overtake and coverup the vines. Last year, I also became interested in medicinal and edible wild plants and weeds. I commented to my husband, Maybe we should put an edible bush with thorns; that seemed appropriate on a hill. One of the other things I talked about was a Clematis vine, or Virginia creeper, a ground cover vine, and especially the Virginia creeper, which turns red in the fall and the birds love the berries. I thought maybe it would cover the other vine, and the red on the hill would be pretty in the fall. Finally, I thought about and talked a lot about the Forsythia plant, which is the pretty, bright yellow bush we see everywhere in the spring/summer. All of that was in 2021, and in 2022, this spring, you can't even make this stuff up, the following three things started growing on the hill. Completely self-started. God-started! We did not plant anything on the hill, ever:
We have lived in this house for almost six years, and have never seen any of those growing on the hill! Rose hip berries are nutritious, medicinal, edible berries, which are concocted into syrups and used to make teas. As I was writing this, I researched again whether Virginia Creeper vine is edible or medicinal. It does have some uses in those areas, although only in extreme circumstances in my opinion, because it is known to be toxic to humans in some instances. The Virginia creeper vine, however, does attract a variety of birds, depending on your zone:
We have been feeding the birds for some time, and have talked frequently about what we could plant around the yard to attract more birds and bees. Our words are alive! Jesus says, By our words we shall be justified, and by our words we shall be condemned. Matthew 12:37 It only makes sense that this means now, in our lives on earth, we justify or condemn ourselves and our lives by our words: In other words, by our words, we create good things around us, love, peace, joy, abundance, et cetera, or we create bad things, strife, poverty, lack, unbelief, et cetera; we create all of these things in our lives with our words. And, in the end, when every knee will bow to Jesus, and every tongue confess to God, we will be justified and condemned by God, by our words as well. Romans 14:11 Especially since the LORD God tells us in Deuteronomy 30:19: "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Life and death. Blessing and cursing. Only two choices: Choose God or choose Satan. This is why God's Word tells us repeatedly to meditate on His Word, get it down inside of us, "Store it in our hearts so we do not sin against Him." Bring into captivity even our very thoughts to the obedience of Christ. So that our first choice is always God's Will, and Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life. So that we create blessings, not curses, around us now in this life, and in life everlasting. Amen. There are many times that I have said to my husband, Hey, I just said this yesterday, or recently, and look, here it is in the garden, or on television, or a video, or Pastor David talks about it in church that morning, right after I said it. I am sure if you think about it, you will realize the same in your life, or maybe you already have. Hallelujah! Praise God. Amen. If not, then refer to the previous paragraph: Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. The last thing I want to write about today are wild mushrooms. Last year, I became somewhat interested in wild mushrooms, watched a couple of videos about picking wild mushrooms, and then found some mushrooms in our yard, on a rotted tree. Subsequently, after researching them online, I determined that they were poisonous. And I commented out loud that it would be nice if they were not poisonous, and we talked about and researched how to grow mushrooms. I even bought a book on how to identify edible and poisonous wild mushrooms. Again, that was last year. This year, this fall, we had a whole patch of King Bolete wild mushrooms, which are apparently highly desired and sought after by wild mushroom connoisseurs. Now, that is four examples of our words creating in our life, which just came to me this morning. Do you see things like this in your life and know it is God, or do you just look at them as coincidences? Give all glory, praise, honor and thanksgiving to God, the Father, always. If we start having faith in God, the faith that can move mountains, then we will move mountains! The Impossible Rice Experiment
The time is at hand. Choose God! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. I pray that all of Your children return to you in obedience, change our hearts, and show by the way we live that we have changed. Matthew 3:8. Let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. As I was reading the Bible on August 22, 2022, at the book of Ruth, God showed me how the story of Ruth is a comparison to our redemption through Christ. He showed me later, more importantly, how our obedience leads to said redemption. Ruth 4 7 "Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. 8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. 10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day." So, Boaz redeemed Ruth, as was the custom of the time. I did a little research and found an article at corechristianity.com. Following is an excerpt from that article, titled: BOAZ’S REDEMPTION OF RUTH LOOKS FORWARD TO OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST "Boaz redeems Ruth in chapter 4:7-10. According to the Law of Moses (Leviticus 25) a relative was to act as a redeemer for any family member who was destitute, widowed or living in poverty. The redeemer would buy back property that person had lost in time of need, so it would be kept in the family. If they were sold into slavery, the redeemer would buy back his freedom. Boaz becomes Ruth’s redeemer. He gets her out of poverty, provides for her, buys back Elimelech’s land and marries Ruth, providing an heir for Elimelech’s line. She is redeemed from poverty to abundance and from hopelessness to a bright future. This is a picture of how Christ redeems us. Where we were meant to face God’s just punishment for our own sins, trusting in Christ, that punishment has been borne by him. He paid our debt of sin on the cross. Ephesians 1:7 says, 'In him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.' In Christ, we’ve been redeemed from being slaves to sin and from facing God’s wrath to being forgiven in him, knowing his grace and peace. Like Ruth, we’ve been redeemed from spiritual poverty into Christ’s abundant life and from hopelessness and death to true hope and life that is eternal. This gift is ours out of no doing of our own, sheer grace!" End quote. Not only that, as I was finishing this up today, September 1, 2022, I realized the comparison of Ruth to the story of Jesus goes even further. Think about it. Naomi was Jesus in the story. Ruth 1 16 "And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee [Naomi], or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me." So, Ruth followed Naomi, just like the people followed Jesus. Ruth did not want to go back to her family; she was completely committed to Naomi, even vowing to die if anything parted her and Naomi, and accepting Naomi's (Jesus') God as her own God. Hallelujah! Amen. Also, yes, Ruth was redeemed by Boaz as was customary, but why was she really redeemed? Because she was obedient to Naomi. Naomi told her to go glean the leftover grain in the fields, and Ruth obeyed. Naomi told her to lie at the feet of Boaz, and Ruth obeyed. Ruth followed Naomi, was devoted and obedient to her, and she was redeemed. If we follow Jesus, and are obedient to God, we will be redeemed as well. Finally, because you literally cannot make this stuff up, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is actually descended from Boaz and Ruth, as shown in the generation of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1 below! God truly works in mysterious ways. Matthew 1 1 "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king;" Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  AMEN!  I found this image amusing after reading parts of our government's (NASA specifically) comical theory on man's creation (see link to article below): The Big Bang, and some make-believe inflationary theory, off of which their entire Big Bang theory rests. I challenge anyone to read the entire article, if you can. This article is representative of the corrupt politicians today: Nonsensical: But this, but that, he said, she said, and if, if, if. Never accepting the obvious: But, God! God sits on his throne and laughs at them. Amen. Heavenly Father, Father of Lights, like the stars in heaven, in whom there is no shadow of turning, like the sun, thank you thank you thank you for our many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for the sun, the moon and the stars. Thank you for the signs and seasons. The rainbow. And, the rain. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. I guess God wants me to talk about His wonders on Earth, because yesterday I posted about His rainbow, and, today, He wants me to post about His constellations. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." Genesis 1:16 "[God] which makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south." Job 9:9 "Can you bring forth Mazzaroth [possibly, the 12 signs of the Zodiac] in his season? or can you guide Arcturus [the bear constellation] with his sons?" Job 38:32 like God? Can you do any of that? Of course not. Did a big explosion create intelligent design like the constellations? Probably, but just not the way "they" want us to believe. Here is our illustrious government's opinion on our creation, at least the NASA arm of our government: NASA Science: "The Big Bang: (click here for article) One interesting correlation to the Bible I see in the above article is a reference to "deuterium," which apparently is an "isotope of hydrogen." Hydrogen comes from water. What did God create on the fifth day of creation, in the Book of Deuteronomy? Water: the sea, and all sea life. It is almost as if NASA knows it was God who created the heavens, earth and universe, but they do not want to give Him credit. They are blinded by the ruler of this world. I heard Prophet Julie Green say recently that God is getting ready to remove their blinders for a moment, so they can see clearly on which side they stand, good or evil, and make an informed choice. I pray all of God's chosen choose God. Also, another problem with NASA's big bang theory is that it is based entirely, or in large part, on Einstein's theory of relativity, which most scientists now agree is wrong, or at the least, inadequate. Admittedly, I am not learned, or a novice even, in evolution, the big bang theory, or Einstein's theory of relativity, but I am somewhat learned on God and His Word. Even during my darkest days, when I did not know God, and when I denounced Him openly to anyone who would listen, never did I consider evolution or the big bang theory. Why? Because I always knew there was a higher power, a source of all things, and even though I did not specifically call it God, nonetheless I did believe. So, I was lying in bed this morning thinking, as I usually do; this is the time when God often speaks to me, and He did not disappoint this morning. This morning, God said, "If the world was created by mere evolution, or a mere explosion in the universe, then whom, may I ask, created the constellations? Did nature create artwork in the universe? No, I think not. I set the stars in the sky to form the constellations, for signs and seasons, lights on earth, for man, and as an habitation for the angels." God, the Father of Lights, is the creator of the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them. Satan is a liar, and the father of lies. He would love for us to believe that we evolved from fish in the sea, or apes even, or that we magically appeared when some big, unexplained, explosion occurred in the universe. I did not read every word of the above article, but in what I did read, I saw nothing that explained the formation of God's artwork in heaven named the constellations. Coincidence, i.e., the coincidental creation of the constellations? Nope. Coincidences are God-inspired, if you believe in God! Ironically, I do believe there was probably a big explosion that started creation, but it was an explosion of God's Spirit pouring down on earth in Genesis 1. Without God's Spirit, heaven, earth, and all the host of them, including man, are nothing. God is the cohesive force that holds it all together! "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist [reside, live]." Colossians 1:17 Or, the Amplified Version: "And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]" Guess what? God's Spirit is pouring down on earth again, right now. Can you feel it? Do you receive it? How can you tell if you feel it or receive it? Well, it makes you want to fight for God. Be a warrior today! Denounce evil! And, as Jesus said, Defeat evil by doing good! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Peace and blessings, Melanie PS. Also, I would like to point out that this subject is not something that has been on my mind, or that I have been studying, or even read about recently in the Bible. It is just something God wanted spoken today. Praise God. Amen. ALGORITHM IS NOT MAN'S RHYTHM (part 2) |
