REFUGE: Radiance Executing Forgiveness Ultimately Guaranteeing Elevations

     God is our REFUGE: Radiance Executing Forgiveness Ultimately Guaranteeing Elevations.  We  need a

REFUGE in our lives, and God definitely fits the identifications.  Loving, sensitive, generous, humble,

honorable, tender, holy, gentle, giving, forgiving, kind, loyal, and patient.  Everyday we experience

turmoil, strife with one another, and jealousy felt in some people's hearts.  To erase these realities

in our lives, we desperately need to rely on God as our REFUGE.  God is the Alpha and the Omega, the

beginning and the end.  (Revelations 1:8)  I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, who is, and who

was, and is to  come, the Almighty.  We all should accept God as our REFUGE because no one is

stronger than he is.  No one could love us more.  He heals all wounds because he is our REFUGE.

He mends all fences because he is our REFUGE.  He gives us the desires of our hearts because he is our

REFUGE.  He listens to our cries because he is our REFUGE. Every word that precedes from our mouths

should be praises towards God, because he deserves all praise for being our REFUGE:  Radiance

Executing Forgiveness Ultimately Guaranteeing Elevations.

           Psalm 62:8
     Trust in him at all times, you people: pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

My Marriage To Faith

     Faith is what pleases God, and that's what I want to do.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the

evidence of  things not seen.  Since faith is what pleases God, my life is a magnet to faith.  I got hit by a

car when I was seven years old.  Was in a coma for three months and doctors told my family I would

die.  If I did live, I'd have to live the rest of my life on a respirator. They also said I would be a vegetable.

 They continued saying there was no sense in sending me to school because I wouldn't be able to remember

anything.  But I serve a God who can make a way out of no way.  They said I was brain damaged, but I say

I was brain delivered.  After three months passed, by the grace of God, I woke up and the first thing I said

was, "What am I doing with these diapers on?"

     When I came home, I wouldn't let anyone do anything for me because I knew God didn't restore my

life to be dependent on no one who was no higher than I was.  I was seven years old then in the second

grade, and now I'm thirty-nine years old with a few years of college under my belt.  I'm a writer with one

book published and am working on my second book.  Many people told me it would be very difficult

to be a successful writer.  I held onto the scripture, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens

me."  (Philippians 4:13)  I continued persisting  to get my book published, and by the grace of God

I met a lady who published it.  I knew it was a blessing from God.  I also hold this scripture, (Psalm 21

:2) You have granted him his heart's desire and have not withheld the requests of his lips.  Faith became

my source I heard the word of God.  God's word is powerful and effective, is useful for teaching, correcting,

rebuking, and training in righteousness.  (2 Timothy 3:16).  My marriage to faith won't experience separation

or divorce, because I don't know where I'd be without it.  I hold tightly to our marriage, and that's the force

that holds our marriage together: Faith.

Not Counted

     I am ever so grateful to you, Lord, that you don't count my sins against me.  This present world is

a school where we learn valuable lessons from.  Where we get our heads bumped to learn lessons.  We

call on your name Lord, when we're in desperate need.  The bible says, ""Every knee shall bow, ever

tongue will confess, Jesus is Lord."  (Romans 14:11).  "As surely as I live,  says the Lord, every knee

shall bow, every tongue will confess, Jesus is Lord.  (Matthew 10:32)  Jesus says, "Whoever acknowledges

me before others, I will acknowledge my Father in heaven. My sins are as white as snow, though they be

as red as crimson.  Your love for me stretches as far as the east is from the west.  You love me more than I

love myself.  I try to walk along the straight and narrow path.  The past is the past.  The present is the now.

Jesus says, "It is done," and gave up his spirit, meaning our sins are covered by his blood.

     What will be counted is the next world.  This world is like a playground, (so to speak).  We live in

Satan's world, that's why there are people who are raped, kidnapped, molested, beaten, gossiped about,

harassed. car-jacking, breaking and entering, child abuse, spousal abuse, and the numbers are increasing

everyday.  The day that will be counted is the day we pronounce ourselves to be God's children, being

Christians, (Christ-like).  After that we must grow Christ's spirit inside of our spirits.  Let's not revisit what's

not counted and focus on what is counted: the after life.

Spiritual Exercises

     This specific muscle is exercised everyday: our spirits.  With our every interaction with each other, our

spirits are being exercised.  Some people fail in this ambition, giving into their emotions.  Hatred is felt and

expressed by those individuals who don't exercise their spirits to elevate their standings.  Jealousy needs to

be exercised because if it's left idle, it will continue degrading it's level where it stands.  Sexual harassment

is a spiritual exercise, because our strengths to restrain ourselves from this action are being exercised.  

Arguments are spiritual exercises because each person is vigorously fighting to get their points across.

Whether we know it or not, our spirits are exercising to be like Jesus Christ, (who is the image of God).

We are  kind to people because we are exercising our spirits.  We run to win the race of developing 

Christ's spirit within us.  The biggest muscle we have is our hearts, and we must exercise that daily.

     When some people love other people, they're exercising their spirits.  When some people hate 

other people, they're exercising their hearts.  All around the world, there are many different exercises

we experience everyday.  When some people go to church, they've exercised their spirits.  But what

changes does that bring?  Some people go to school, but is intelligence gained?  Exercises are good

for the physical, but there's one thing that desperately needs exercising that will benefit us all, it's our spirits.

In the end of life, we will be judged by God Almighty on how much we've grown our spirits.  

                                           Galations 5:15-26

     If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.  Watch out or you 

will be destroyed by each other.  So I say, "Walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the

flesh.  For the flesh desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the flesh.  They

are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.  But if you are led by the spirit,

you are not under the law.  The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery,

idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy,

drunkenness, orgies, and the like.  I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the

kingdom of God.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,  forbearance, kindness, goodness, 

faithfulness,  gentleness, and self-control.  Against such things there is no law.  Those who belong to Christ 

Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step

with the  Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking  and envying each other.

Don't Be Pitiful: Be Powerful

     We are living in physical stages when we should live in spiritual stages.  We must store our treasures up

in heaven, where they won't spoil, rot, or fade away.  (Matthew 6:20)  But store up for yourselves treasures

in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  We are

consumed with the physical when we should be consumed with the spiritual.  Then we wouldn't be pitiful

but powerful.  Being powerful is looking pass the FLESH and not giving into it.  The FLESH is, (False

Lessons Eating Salvation's Honor).  When we obey God by following the ten commandments, we are

powerful.  When we live by our own rules, we are pitiful because God wins every time anyone goes

against him.  He is above all.  The word of God is powerful and effective, is useful for teaching, rebuking,

correcting, and training in righteousness.  (2 Timothy 3:16)  We need to humble ourselves in the sight of

the Lord to transform ourselves from being pitiful to becoming powerful.

     We need to decide whose side we're living on:  God's or Satan's.  This will determine if we're pitiful or

powerful.  God is almighty and all knowing and all powerful.  We're powerful when and if we depend on

God.  From the beginning of time we've been pitiful.  But by obeying God we will become powerful.

Do we accept this invitation?  Just think of how powerful we'll be if and when we do.  The world would

be ours.  God just asks for our obedience.

I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me (Philippians 4:13)

     Nothing can stop me now.  Years ago before I knew Christ, I was so depressed, insecure, and felt I was

nothing.  That I couldn't  couldn't accomplish nothing.  But now that I know Christ, I know I can do all things

through him through him.  Christ is my example of how to live.  "I can do all things through Christ who

strengthens me."  (Philippians 4:13)  I know what I have in him, everything[.  I'm not a gambler, (spiritually

or physically though I do fall short of the  glory of God.   Jesus Christ died for my sins, and I'm

trying with all my heart and soul not to fall into the same sins or any other sins.  "I can do all things through

Christ who strengthens me."  (Philippians 4:13).  I can't restate that fact enough.  Whose side am I living on?

I'm living on the Lord's side.  I graduated second highest in my class from high school.  I went to college for

two spring and summers and one fall because, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."   I

wrote a book and got it published, because "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

(Philippians 4:13)

     I'm delivering Christ's resume to the world, so people in it will see and experience, (if you choose)

everything they could have through Christ.  All things, who will strengthen them also.  The world is

mine, because I can do all things through Christ.  He is the only one who has overcome the world

That's why I depend on him for my strength.  I felt lonely some times in my life.  I was at the lowest

point in my life, but I found friendship in  Christ who sticks closer than any brother.

            (Matthew 11:28)

     Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  All I can say to that is,

"Amen."
