Be Content With Such Things As Ye Have:

Be Content With Such Things As Ye Have:

Many verses in the Bible speak of contentment. Here are just a few:

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

1 Timothy 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Being 'content' with what you have is many times applied to our material possessions.

While true, it also applies to our most important personal possession: our own bodies.

Many times we may feel discontent with how we look, especially when we compare ourselves unfavorably with others.

But, we have each been made uniquely, and our own personal traits are what make us who we are.

Many of us, particularly females, may wish to be tall, blond, or perhaps more well endowed.

This has been held out to us in print media and television as the supposed 'ideal look'.

However, we aren't Barbie dolls, and we shouldn't have to feel pressured to all look a certain way.

Take the example of the lovely 27-yr. old actress Alexandra Chando, who is a very petite 5'3".

Not only would she be considered 'short, but she also has what some may call 'mousy' brown hair color.

Her nice eyes are also brown in color, and she has a smaller size 'chest', and even somewhat bowed legs.

However, as a 'whole package', this works extremely well for her, and it would be a shame to change it.

Her youthful good looks have enabled her to play a girl of high-school age, although she herself is 27.

Alexandro Chando is fashionable, beautiful, and - wait for it - famous to boot!

Please don't sell yourself short on your own personal good looks, or your self-esteem.

And, PLEASE don't go out there and get yourself colored contacts, breast implants, or highlights.

All of these things are detrimental to your health - and your finances - and simply aren't necessary.

(B.)

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

'Be Mine' - saith the Lord!

2/15/2014

Malachi 3:17

"BE MINE!"

The Lord God Almighty sends us his love in so many ways and he asks us to, 'Be Mine'.

The Bible itself is his 'love letter' to us, and he has written us in his 'book of remembrance'.

There is no better 'Valentine' than God himself, and no better Valentine gift than that of his son, Jesus Christ, and his gift of eternal life.

Malachi 3:16-17 "A book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts."

Isaiah 43:1 Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

TRUE LOVE: "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." 1 John 4:10

God's Valentine to Us...

2/14/2014

Psalm 147:3

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Today is a day for joy, and for thinking of our blessings for all those we love, and who love us also.

We are also blessed to have a Lord who wishes for our hearts to be glad, as well as caring for our 'broken hearts'.

Psalm 4:7 "Thou hast put gladness in my heart..."

Psalm 147:3 "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

The greatest 'Valentine' gift ever given to us ...is from God, who loved us enough to give us his 'only begotten son' so that we could have 'everlasting life':

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Blessings to you today!

You know it's bad when you're rebuked by THIS guy!

Vladimir Putin & Orthodox Patriarch Kirill I

(You know it must be bad when you're getting rebuked by him!)

Russian President Vladimir Putin Rebukes U.S. for Abandoning God and Christian Values by Promoting Homosexuality and Homosexual Marriage

"Western countries are engaging in a “spiritual disarmament” of their people."

"President Vladimir Putin, former KGB Agent of a Once-atheist Nation, Rebukes America, a Once-Christian Nation by Saying that by Forsaking Traditional Christian Values and Putting Same-sex Marriage on the Same Level as Traditional Marriage with a Man, Woman, and Children, the Nation is Forsaking God and Believing in Satan and Will be Led into Degradation and Chaotic Darkness..."

It may be too late for America to 'wake up' as a nation, but each of us as individuals can even now turn to God for 'healing' and salvation:

2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Some 'Interesting' Nephilim Questions

2/11/2014

'ALIEN' SPICE VICTORIA BECKHAM

Nephilim Questions & Answers

Hi - I had a few questions about the Nephilim. (Maybe several.)

I was wondering if the Nephilim is only the angel that fell, or if it also applies to their offspring.

While the word Nephilim does not appear in the KJV, these were the 'giants', that were the offspring of fallen angels.

Also, it seems as though this offspring was said to be unable to be saved.

Yes, they are said to be unable to be saved, due to their nature and being conceived by a fallen spirit.

If the Nephilim offspring then also marry a human woman (like their fallen angel father did), will that new offspring (1/4 fallen angel) also not be able to be saved.

Very interesting question. At what point do they (or can they) get back to human and being redeemable??

Are there still people around today that have part of the Nephilim 'seed' in them (however small); and, if so, are they also condemned?

They say yes. Royalty, ruling class, illuminati, priests, broadcasters, etc.

If these people are still among us, what would be 'different' about them? Would they be the ones that seem to have no conscience whatsoever?

Could be the sociopaths, mass murders, etc. I do wonder what they look like.

Would they look a little different (like Gemma Arterton who was born with 6 fingers on each hand, or like those with long-shaped skulls, or extremely tall, etc.)?

I do believe that some of the physical aberrations we see today could definitely be from this.

If there were giants before and AFTER the flood, are there any around or did they die out, or are there still some with that bloodline?

It is said that there are those with this bloodline still around. Some may be able to 'blend in' easily to society, while others remain in hiding, perhaps in remote or underground areas.

Is this possible bloodline one of the reasons why they seem to want to make a DNA database for everyone to see who's who?

I have heard it said they are looking for it because it's a demonically powerful blood line.

Just some thoughts & questions rolling around in my head. Still watching and reading information online & trying to figure it out - mostly for curiosity.

Me too!! Still trying to figure it out!!!

Thanks! : )

The Bible tells us that the end times will be 'like the days of Noah'. During this time, the Giants will walk the earth again - in plain sight of man.

Matthew 24:37 " But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

What were the days of Noah like? We get a picture of these days in Genesis 6:

Genesis 6:4 "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them..."

Genesis 6:12 "And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth..."

Genesis 6:1-8

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Prescription Drugs and Luke 11:26

2/8/2014

PHARMAKEIA

Pharmakeia and Sorcery

We have all seen those commercials on the t.v. for the latest 'prescription drug' benefits.

Then, in smaller print, or softer voice-over, we also are told about the possible side-effects.

As you listen to these 'side-effects', you realize that most of them are much worse than the ailment that the drug is said to help.

It made me think of the passage in Luke 11 where it speaks of a man who has been cleansed of an 'unclean spirit', but in doing so is then revisited by seven more spirits worse than the first.

This is exactly what happens with most of the prescription drugs now being given to people.

While some medications can be necessary for an acute illness, the majority cause far more harm than good - and several more maladies 'worse than the first'!

Guard Your Heart - Physically AND Spiritually!

PROVERBS 4:23

Guard Your Heart! - February is Heart Health Month

God cares about our hearts on many levels! There are well over 800 references to the heart in the Bible.

Here are a few things you can do to keep your heart healthy - physically AND spiritually!

Eat a healthy diet. A plant-based diet is one of the best medicines for your heart. Eat those greens!
Exercise regularly. We know, seems simple. But there is a reason why exercise is always on the to-do list. Your body, especially your heart, needs it! Get out and take a brisk walk on a regular basis.

Find accountability. Accountability is crucial for physical and spiritual health. A little friendly encouragement can spur you on to go from sitting on the couch to sitting on the bike. Same goes for your spiritual heart health.

Spend time in the Word. Fill your heart up with the Gospel and the Gospel is what will flow out of it.

Pray. Without ceasing. We have a direct line to the Giver of Life. Talking to Him is key for living life to the fullest. Join your brothers and sisters in Christ in prayer. Share your prayer requests, and bless others by praying for theirs.

Proverbs 4:23 "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."

Proverbs 17:22 " A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."

Try S.T.O.P. 'Therapy' - It Really Works!

2/3/2014

STOP THOUGHT OF PROBLEM

S.T.O.P. Therapy works on the premise of simply eliminating a thought from your mind - even if only momentarily.

This works especially well with those 'nagging' thoughts that repeatedly bother you.

In S.T.O.P. Therapy, the STOP simply stands for 'Stop Thought of Problem'. Very simple but effective.

While not an officially recognized 'therapy' (all the better!), it does have some similarity to the idea of 'thought stopping' used in psychology.

However, with Thought Stopping, you purposely focus on a fear or other particular thought - even at a time when you weren't actually thinking about it.

You then choose a set amount of time to not think of the thing that you just decided to think of not thinking about... : )

With S.T.O.P. Therapy, though, the idea is to take captive a certain thought as it comes up.

You then 'suspend' that thought when it arrives - even for only a second or two.

This is enough time to give you a chance to see what you would feel like without this 'irritant'.

It's a very simple idea that works very well. I have used this technique myself with good success.

It gives you a chance to know that you can break free from any obsessive thought.

This idea also has a biblical basis, and why it may work so well (God made us & knows how we tick!).

2 Corinthians 10:5 says this:

"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

As it becomes a habit to take your thoughts captive, you will be made free indeed from this 'thorn in your flesh'. 2 corinthians 12 7

Have a very blessed day!

John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

Matthew 19:26 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

Knights of Malta in Hawaii

Knights of St. John Hawaii

"Global Collaboration" Knights of St. John Hawaii
2013 Pathways to Paradise
Tina Quizon Host Olelo; Countess Tatiana Bobrinsky, Grand Dame of the Order; Aaron Davide Mahi, Knight; Dr. Sandra Rose Michael; et al.

Some of the quotes and 'soundbites' from this recent conference include:

Countess Tatiana Bobrinsky, Grand Dame of the Order:

She explained that the Knights of St. John (aka Knights of Malta, Sovereign Military Order of Malta, etc.) had its origins with the Amalfi merchants

These sailing merchants later established hospitals and offered protection for pilgrims to the Holy Land (see more information below).

The Maltese Cross originally represented the 4 Cardinal Points of the Compass used by the sailors (now all pointing inward on their insignia).

This Red Maltese Cross was, according to Countess Bobrinsky, the forerunner to the Red Cross of today (an Rosicrucian organization, or 'Rosy Cross').

She further explained that the Knights of Malta began as a Catholic order, but that today they embrace religious tolerance and that 'people are just people'.

Another attendee at this conference was Effie Chow whose work includes the integration of Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western Medicine.

In July 2000, Dr. Chow was appointed by President Clinton to the original 15 member White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy.

She is a world-renowned Qigong Grandmaster energy healer, acupuncturist, author, international speaker, Humanitarian, Futurist, and Visionary.

She founded the East West Academy of Healing Arts, and the Qigong Institute, was established within EWAHA to promote its further use.

Ms. Chow is involved with QiGong, Eastern Philosophy of Dao / Tao, Energy Healing, Reiki, and Chinese Medicine.

She also promotes 'tolerance' among world religions and philosophies and is active in teaching even the 'little ones' to learn and use Reiki energy healing.

Another speaker, Dan...? commented on the Order of St. John's collaboration for collection and storage of a Rare Disease DNA Database.

This DNA Information Storing will be used by researchers for Pharmaceutical Drug Development.

A Priory for the Order of St. John has been set up in Hawaii. It works with the Hawaii-based Partners in Development Foundation, a 501c3 organization.

Knight Aaron David Mahi of Honolulu noted that Hawaii serves as a 'bridge' between East & West.

He also explains that the Order of St. John stresses 'Service to ALL Humankind'; and that the order is 'inclusive of all'.

The Order's 'Purpose of Service' includes all persons and has an ecumenical basis - inclusive and accepting of other religions.

The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, also known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM).

The Order of Malta or Knights of Malta, is a Roman Catholic lay religious order of, traditionally, a military, chivalrous and noble nature. It is the world's oldest surviving order of chivalry. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta is headquartered in Rome, and is widely considered a sovereign subject of international law.

SMOM is the modern continuation of the original medieval order of Saint John of Jerusalem, known as the "Fraternitas Hospitalaria" and later as the Knights Hospitaller, a group founded in Jerusalem about 1050 as an Amalfitan hospital to provide care for poor and sick pilgrims to the Holy Land.

The Order has a large number of local priories and associations around the world, of which Hawaii's priory is one.

The supreme head of the Order is the Grand Master, who is elected for life by the Council Complete of State, holds the precedence of a cardinal of the Church since 1630 and received the rank of Reichsfürst (Prince of the Holy Roman Empire) in 1607
