NOW I AM REALLY PISSED!

MY JOURNEY: SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

I have many friends and family members who are Democrats both moderate and super liberal- I love them unconditionally but...

Jesus said we would have to choose. 

LUKE 14:26
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

Don't get it twisted! Got's ways are not man's way, nor His thoughts the same as man. I cannot love your way more than God's, therefore if I have to choose a side then I choose God's.

What a flippin' mess this world is in right now because of selfish fleshly desires. That is not why I am pissed.

I am pissed because once again my computer is down over something really stupid and though it will be fixed it is a major inconvenience. I was going to wait until the repairs were complete but I decided I had to way in!

I don't care if you consider yourself a "DEMOCRAT" and not a Liberal or a Socialist you are part of the problem. Your continued voting of a political party that includes Liberals and Socialist makes you by default a Liberal / Socialist. The fact that you reiterate the words of Liberals and Socialist makes you part of their systematic plan to destroy Christianity and dishonor life.  AND DON'T CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN- do yourself a favor and not speak about faith at all.

True there is enough immorality to make both sides of the aisle problematic but what I have seen the Liberals do of recent years is beyond offensive it is pure EVIL!

History, proves that it is not about women's issues but power and influence. Remember the woman who drowned in a car? Chapequidic??? Remember the number of women who stated that a SITTING PRESIDENT  used his power to have his way with them.

What happened to the women who accused various Republican men of sexual misconduct AFTER THE MAN WAS DESTROYED?

Dr. Ford discreetly notified someone that something had happened to her and numerous individuals came forth and said it was not the man she accused. NO ONE SAID SHE WAS NOT MOLESTED!
What will happen to Dr. Ford when the election is over? The same thing that has happened to all the other women who the LIBERALS USED to have their way.  She will be a cast off, a useless piece of nothing.

God does not destroy the character of any man or woman-  CHRISTIANS KNOW THIS!

What my friends and family know is  - THE DEMOCRATS ARE LYING! But they have been told that the Republicans are evil people. They know I vote Republican, I guess that makes  me evil.

Most of my friends and family consider themselves CHRISTIAN yet they talk about how evil President Trump is. Obama was the one who promoted Islam and homosexuality, not to mention trying to manipulated the election in Israel.

I AM PISSED, because I am typing on my husband's laptop and I have so much to say but Satan has put a stumbling block in my path.

BUT WHEN I GET PISSED I GO TO GOD! My armor is on, I have stayed up and prayed up and now I am going into battle. Because, though my friends, family and other people who read this post think white people are evil I am called by God to write and speak the truth. GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL THAT I NEED BECAUSE I AM CALLED AND I LOVE HIM MORE THAN MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, CHILDREN, FRIENDS AND MYSELF.

I AM PRESSING ON ARE YOU?

MY JOURNEY- September 24, 2018

It never fails- I make a commitment and Satan tries to stop me! Of course it is Satan or his demons! It is not God. The Bible tells us - every good and perfect gift comes from God. Jesus said: Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy but He came so that we would have life AND more abundantly!  Despite knowing His Word it does not make it any less frustrating to encounter obstacles.

Today I am writing directly onto the blog because once again my computer is down!!!!!! I have yet to publish BEFORE YOU PRAY FOR ME Part I & II, I am still editing FAMILY LEGACY and I have the outline for a new book inspired by the book of  TITUS. Did I mention I just decided to work with a new marketing company and we are going to market THE TRUTH ABOUT VASHTAI!  Yea, I was getting ready to take off.

But there is more!

Multiple opportunities have come my way which would result in financial increase and I need my computer to do it. God knows and so does Satan. Just like the last time I did not become depressed or upset, perhaps disappointed and yes frustrated but I AM NOT QUITTING!

I have prepared for moment's like this for years. I wrote MOVING FORWARD BY FAITH because I know that the only way I can succeed is to step out on faith- regardless of what things look like.  I wrote BROKEN AND NOT A$HAMED because I know that the money will not always be there when you need it but it will come; I don't stop giving based on what I will get I give because it is the right thing to do. Yes, I understand the fundamentals of faith and laid it out in Part I of BEFORE YOU PRAY FOR ME.

The word of God is planted in my soul and I am producing fruit. I am writing this post just to piss the Devil off; and that is what you have to do.


Do what you have to do DESPITE WHAT THEY SAY!
Do what you have to do REGARDLESS OF HAVING TO USE REFURBISHED TOOLS OR WEAR THRIFT STORE CLOTHES.
Do what you have to do EVEN IF NO ONE IS IN THE AUDIENCE, THE EQUIPMENT DOES NOT WORK AND YOUR HELPER DID NOT SHOW UP.
Do what you have to do EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO OLD SCHOOL AND USE PAPER AND PEN
Do what you have to do EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR CELL PHONE TO RECORD.

PRESS ON MY FRIEND- PRESS ON! 
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and rulers of darkness- in other words SATAN IS TRYING TO STOP YOU FROM DOING WHAT GOD SAID YOU CAN DO!

SELF MONITIZATION

I finally mentioned paypal on a blog post because I know Google will never pay me what I am worth! I do not have thousands of followers, nor do I have hundreds of subscribers. I don’t write: sexually provocative thoughts, angry political ideology, or feel good messages that appeal to the masses but have no biblical basis. I will not have the thousands of followers that others do because I write about the realities of everyday living as a follower of Jesus. BUT I DO HAVE READERS.

I have been blogging for over 5 years and my readership has increased, ever so slowly. In that time the rules have changed for how bloggers are paid multiple time. In 5 years I have been paid once!  I have earned money but it will be a while before Google releases it because of their threshold for payment. (Meaning: they have earned money from my blog but they are going to hold my check until I earn a specific dollar amount.)

You will notice that quite a few YouTubers, most of which also have blogs, have alternative ways of receiving income. Many YouTubers self-monitize using Patreon and Paypal their viewers give directly to them, well writers need money too!

I can earn a dollar from Google advertisement on my page but I will not get that dollar until I have accumulated $100 in the Google account. You can donate $1 to me via PayPal.me/NettieFR and I have access to that money instantly!

If I were to allow sexually provacative ads on my page I probably could earn money faster- I will not.

SATAN DOES NOT LIKE YOU!

MY JOURNEY: September 7, 2018 
It occurred to me this morning: Life is not going to be perfect here on earth.

Yes, many people say something like this often but are still surprised when bad things happen that should not happen. I never liked that verse people quoted about tribulation because it did not make sense for a loving God to create problems in our lives. God is not the trouble maker!

JOHN 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Jesus said: I am telling you how to HANDLE tribulation. Don’t worry about it, I have already solved the problem before you know it exist. Your problem is already solved! 

The trend with many churches today is to motivate you to keep moving by giving you a formula to succeed. Do you really need a formula when Jesus said “I have overcome the world”? Knowing that problems will come but they will also go if I keep my eyes on God’s Word should be motivation enough.

JAMES 1:2
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 

Crap is going to happen. Does your church tell you that crap is going to happen? And it you will have various types of crap happening to you. If it ain’t one thing it will be another! All you need to know is “this too shall pass!” James tells us to be joyful when crap happens!

Crap happens because the devil does not want you to have an easy life. SATAN DOES NOT LIKE YOU, if you follow Jesus. The more you follow Jesus the more demons he is going to assign to you. [Note: Satan and his family are not omni-present therefore they have to be particular about who they attack.] 

ISAIAH 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

Consider it a badge of honor!

Why would the devil bother with people on his team? My biggest storms came after I decided to follow Jesus; but, I had more peace despite the storms when I decided to follow Jesus. Satan wants me to leave the kingdom of heaven and hang out with him!

1 PETER 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

So many people are being devoured by the devil! They attend these churches that put a smile on their face as they leave. Yes, they are motivated to get their finances in order, to love their wives and talk to their children BUT when they try to apply what they have been taught they need help. Satan does not like people who want to live life as a follower of Jesus and so he presents anti-motivational obstacles; foreclosures, pregnant daughters, drug addicted sons, husband lost his job, wife has cancer. John 10:10 clearly states: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION). You have to understand that the thief is Satan and he does not like you!

There are so many verses in the Bible that warn us about what can happen as long as we are on this earth. How is Satan stopping you?

I am better equipped to deal with the problems I experience knowing that Satan does not like me and will do everything possible to destroy me.

EPHESIANS 6:11-13 THE VOICE
Put on the full armor of God to protect yourselves from the devil and his evil schemes. We’re not waging war against enemies of flesh and blood alone. No, this fight is against tyrants, against authorities, against supernatural powers and demon princes that slither in the darkness of this world, and against wicked spiritual armies that lurk about in heavenly places.

And this is why you need to be head-to-toe in the full armor of God: so you can resist during these evil days and be fully prepared to hold your ground.

We are living in a time in which feel good messages are not going to cut it IF you do not know the foundations of faith. There are to many Christians suffering because the Truth has been planted on unprepared ground and the thief was able to destroy it. Far to many Christians are giving in to the things of this world because of the lies being presented to them. In this world we will have tribulation because SATAN DOES NOT LIKE THOSE WHO ARE CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH.

The love God has for His children is greater than hate Satan has for God’s children.

1 JOHN 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

DO YOU NEED A SIGN?

MY JOURNEY: SEPTEMBER 1, 2018

People look for proof all the time: “I will believe it when I see it!” they say. They want validation, confirmation, something tangible to accept even obvious truths. In lieu of this sign they, far to many people who call themselves Christian, accept their own theology, one that supports a particular lifestyle.

MATTHEW 12:39
But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

“They” in the words of Jesus are “evil and adulterous.” What is evil? Who is adulterous? I had to look and see how other Bible translations presented the Word.

• The VOICE- “You wicked and promiscuous generation”
• The MESSAGE- “All you want is something to titillate your curiosity, satisfy your lust for miracles.”
• The NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION- ““A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign!”
• THE LIVING BIBLE- ““Only an evil, faithless nation would ask for further proof;”
• THE EXPANDED BIBLE translates Jesus words as-” “Evil and sinful people [L- An evil and adulterous/unfaithful generation] “

If you think about Hebrews 11:1, a verse many people quote, it is clear that we believe not because of tangible evidence but because we “hope” we will see the proof when we enter into eternity. A Christ centered person believes not because of what some man buried in the ground said many years ago, or the perceived influence the statue of an overweight man has. Faith in God is  the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen which lead us to being born again and our spirit man confirms it.

ROMANS  1:20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Which brings me back to Matthew 12:39. If a person says he or she does not believe the truths a follower of God is presenting it is because this person is not born again. Jesus said we would know the truth and you will be released from what is holding you back. (John 8:32).

IT'S JUST MY 2 CENT OPINION!

I did not watch Aretha Franklin or John McCain’s funeral services but I saw exerts. My opinion- people were glorifying themselves taking the opportunity, because it was televised, to preach their “gospel”. From the pulpit man’s theology was presented and man/ woman was lifted up as if he/she was a savior. God was an addendum to the program.

Jesus called them “evil and sinful people.”  What they do not understand is there will not be a sign, the warnings are all around us, nothing will be written on the wall or the sky saying: Jesus is coming tomorrow.  And God said: “they are without excuse”!

How sad to see such a gathering of ignorance. Funerals are indeed for the living, the dead are dead. If they are in heaven they are in the presence of the Glory and if they are in hell there is nothing a person can say or do to change that.
It is finished for Aretha Franklin.
It is finished for John McCain.
It is NOT FINISHED for you.

JOHN 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

WHAT WAS I AFRAID OF?

NETTIE-ISM I was afraid of the silliest things!

I once said I was an introvert and the person I was speaking to did not believe me, but I was. I masked my true self pretending I was an extrovert. The truth is: I was doing it afraid!

Today I was using my embroidery machine and I started laughing at myself. To think that I was so afraid to use this man made thing. True I had tested the waters and made a few designs, I even showed my grandson, my granddaughter and my daughter how to use the machine.

I think when I was showing my daughter how to use the machine and realized I had done a few things incorrectly was when it happened. I had cleaned all of my machines the week before and had put the bobbin case in wrong- this lead to my daughter’s stitches being non-existent and messing up her project.  All I had to do was fist the bobbin and all was well.
I decided to embroider a blouse I had made but could not wear. As I was placing the last color in the machine I looked up to see my 5 Sewing Challenges for 2018. Challenge #1 Monogrammed Blouse. This was bigger than my initials on a shirt!

What was I afraid of? I was afraid of making a mistake and, guess what? I did! Had my fear gone?

I wanted to do a personal fundraiser, my granddaughter needs a tablet for school and I was going to ask my siblings to help me cover the cost of this $600 machine. Should I call each one, there are 8; and when do I call? I decided to write a letter and email it to each one. Is that the cowards way out? No! It is the way everyone gets the same information. But not everyone reads their emails right away! Which is why I sent text messages to all of them - they all read their text messages.

Overcoming fear is not in the doing it is in the starting. That is what I realized when I was working with my embroidery machine today. It may take a while for me to finish, especially if I do something wrong like putting the bobbin casing in the machine wrong, but I will finish it.

The same is true for my granddaughter’s tablet. I started the process of raising money and she will get her tablet, of that I am certain!

What else am I afraid of? I don’t have time for fear, I have to much to do!
