Too-Heavenly Minded

Someone said to me recently, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'You are so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good'?"

I didn't answer. Sure I've heard that saying. It is a lie from the pit of hell. First of all, it is impossible to be TOO heavenly minded. Not enough people are heavenly minded, and if you are heavenly minded, you can always endeavor to be more. Second, I certainly don't want to be 'good' according to the world's standards.

That saying is just an attack from the enemy, to say, once again - you and all your talking about Jesus and the bible - you just don't fit in. I'm glad I don't fit in, that I'm "no earthly good." Everyday I strive to be MORE heavenly minded, to seek God AND His righteousness. To seek to enter in the narrow way and get off the broad path that leads to destruction.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that love according to your Word is doing Your Will in all things and not about our fickle feelings that ebb and flow. Thank you that you are so merciful and graceful with us every day. In Jesus name. Amen.

New World Next Week

Jesus said, "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you heavenly things?" (John 3:12) These things are really happening in our country and our world. Dark times are coming. Pray to the Father that we can be accounted worthy to escape the things coming on the land.

Clean up on aisle 7...

I'm sorry? Did she say I should ask a Wal-mart manager? This place is just so surreal I can hardly stand it. Big sister is watching YOU!

Stuff going on

Here is my latest finished quilt. I finished it a couple weeks ago and gave it to my niece for her 13th birthday. I started another one yesterday that is exactly the same except this one is 5 squares by 7 where the last one was 5 by 5.

I've been making cookies to send to my children. Yesterday I made peppermint bark, russian tea cakes and some very yummy fudge. Today I will be making pecan tartlets, oatmeal cookies that have craisens and white chocolate chips and some spritz cookies.

Here are a couple articles online that amazingly hit the nail on the head for me and some of the stuff I am going through.

THE HOUR OF ISOLATION

Breakthrough - December 07, 2010

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that obedience is more important than our feelings. Thank you for always being with us and for all the trials and tribulations that you give us to perfect us and strengthen us. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

More on Fasting

Every year the Jentezen Franklin ministry does a corporate 21-day fast. It is an excellent way to start the year, spiritually. If you are interested in participating you can learn more about it here:

Jentezen Franklin Fasting Home Page

If you would like to do a Daniel Fast - which is a good fast for those who can't fast entirely - here is an excellent resource:

Those who hunger

If you want to start the year out right, consider doing a fast to the Lord. Use this month to prepare yourself.

Sidenote: I have not been able to blog daily like I would like. Alot of things are going on at the moment. It looks like my parents may have to move (their house is paid off, so that is not the reason.) It is because they have a split level house and there are stairs going up and stairs going down and it is getting very difficult for my parents to be able to navigate all the stairs. They are going to have to look into moving from the house they have lived in for 35 years and move into a single level home. It is looking at the moment that it is the will of the Lord for me to help them with all the work in moving. So I will be very busy for a while and will try to blog when I can.

New World Next Week

The World has gone crazy! Oh - but you knew that

I saw this kit at the store the other day. It says, "Magic Science for wizards only. - Make your own wizard wand - CAST COLOR-CHANGING SPELLS - Magic at your fingertips" I was just shocked that they even sell this trash, but you should read what some mothers wrote on the comments page of this product:

DOES NOT INCLUDE SMOKING FINGER TRICK!
by AllowayMom

November 07, 2009: This kit isn't as advertised. The kit pictured has 11 activities, including a smoking finger kit. The one that arrived at our house clearly says 10 activities. The reason I chose this kit over others for my 9-yr-old daughter was the smoking finger trick, many of the experiments are similar to those in other kits (such as the Steve Spangler kits.) The wizard aspect is unique, and the instructions are very clear and easy to follow, unlike other science kits.

This mom only gave the product 3 stars and did you catch what she said? The reason she chose this was for the smoking finger trick and there was no smoking finger trick! Wow. what a nice mom. Another mom had this to say:

Too Messy
by M13

April 22, 2009: I got this kit for my 7 year old..soon to be 8 and this kit was nothing but a mess. The powders and crystal are all over the place and they tend to stain a bit. Within a few days we got rid of the kit..the only thing worth while from the kit is making the magic wand. The smoke stuff sticks everywhere and smells. Do not buy this kit it will only make you work hard for the little you spend...Good luck if you have already bought it!

These poor lost moms don't even SEE the fact that witchcraft and wizardry and sorcery are totally evil and forbidden by the word of God. This harmless seeming toy is a gateway for evil demonic spirits to enter your cute little 7-9 year old! But Harry Potter and other things just make these things acceptable. Before I was saved I read Harry Potter and let my kids read it and now I really wish I had known better - who knows what doors may have been opened by that.

Please understand that toys like this are NOT harmless. This little wizard set is very obvious, but there are similar toys that are more subtil seeming but just as dangerous spiritually.

Dear Heavenly Father. Please open the eyes of these moms and protect these children from dangerous toys that teach witchcraft and sorcery. In Jesus name. Amen.
