THANKFUL

What a wonderful day to be Thankful today, but as I reminisce back to pass days, I was thankful from day-to-day.  I am especially thankful for this special day that is set aside to give thanks for the year’s blessing in life. Over a thousand years ago native American was brought to their innermost being that a Higher Being was making the land work for them and bringing crops to them, and because of that they could build houses and bring food to their tables. God is the source of all blessing in life, He started everything by creating a universe that is filled with so many astronomical events that man is forever visiting science methods of trying how to figure out the universe. But! the universe belongs to God, He is allowing the man to manage the world, but God, the Alpha, and Omega have the master plan to it, and all the keys are found in His hand of Wisdom. This what God said about His world, if he was hungry he would not tell you, because He is God, and He doesn’t need our help “If I was hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine and the fullness thereof. (Psalm 50:12). I was filled with joy this Thanksgiving Morning as I arose met the Love of God rushing into my heart filling me with the everlasting breath air of life, I said, Praise God another day To give thanks for life. As I stood there looking out of my windows, I see the beauty of God’s creation. There were tall strong trees some were green, others were standing with beautiful leave of brown, yellow and red on them some of the leaves had fallen to the ground. I looked and there were squirrels running up and down the trees, and across the street.  As I listen with my ears, I heard sounds of birds, people, also cars traveling to-and-forth. Then I suddenly realize that this is a day of blessing, I was standing with health and strength. Not forgetting one moment that the strength of the Lord is my portion. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Psalm 27:1). Thanksgiving is a day to Stop! and recognize how blessed you are. To look at your life and the family and friends around you, and see how good God has been to you. Every day we should give Thanks to God, but on the day the world has set aside to recognize that during the year we all have been given the necessities of life, and sometimes life has given us a special bonus. It is a God of Mercy and Grace that have brought me through trials, over mountains, through sickness and death, but sometimes He let me walk up on the mountain top. Thankfulness comes naturally for me because I know there is nothing in life that I can accomplish without the Wisdom of God.  Jewel of Nugget “Thankfulness it all belongs to God.”

MADE PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS

In Jesus, we are made perfect in the Spirit as we bring the flesh into subjection by the Holy Spirit. For if you follow the Spirit you will not follow the desires of the flesh. For by the blood of Jesus we are made perfect and have received forgiveness of ALL sins, and therefore have received salvation for life. “I greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decked himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorned herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10)  “But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, he is not a part of this creation.”  He is of a heavenly tabernacle of God. “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:12). Jesus Christ is our High priest, he is part of a more perfect tabernacle where He has entered in by His own righteousness and has obtained a much more perfect sacrifice than the blood of goats and calves. For Jesus Christ offered himself up for the sins of mankind to bring man heart to life by purging man consciousness of mind to the sin that is in his heart to repentance from dead works to serve God. For we are made perfect in Jesus Christ by his blood that was without spots or sin. He has entered In for once and has sat down on the right-hand side of the Father. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was enough, never again will he have to enter In again. Never again will there be another sacrifice for the sins of mankind. ” For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Roman 10:13)

ABIDING

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:5

What are you Abiding in? I am Abiding in Jesus Christ! Jesus said “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you Abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”. (John 15:5). If you remain in Jesus as a branch remains on the vine you will bear much fruits as you are abiding in Him. But if you do not abide in Jesus, you are like a branch that is cut off from the Vine and thrown into the fire and burned. But if you remain in Jesus and his Word remains in you, you can ask whatever you wish, and the Father will give it unto you. Jesus is the vine and born again Christian is the branches, so therefore If you Abide in Him you can bear much “Fruits”. Now the fruits of the “Spirit” are like this: “Bring forth, therefore, fruits meet for repentance” (Matthew 3:8). Jewels of Nuggets “Believe, Confess, Repent and Walk in the Spirit”. When you abide in Jesus you will be led of the Spirit, and you will not yield to the works of the flesh. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; “adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (lustfulness, wanton or lewd), idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (conflict or discrepancy), emulations (Jealous rivalry or obsolete), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings” as such of these, and people who participate in such things, to the points out; shall not inherit the kingdom of God. “Now the works of the Spirit is as such; “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:18-23). Jewels of Nuggets “those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh, and this means that you have killed the flesh of its passions and desires to sin and walk in the flesh. Jesus said “Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them (Matthew 7:20).

Jewels of Nuggets :

“so, therefore, bring forth fruits that are worthy of repentance.” A beautiful Jewel of Nuggets to drop into the soul.

A THORN FOR ME

Just like the apostle Paul, I asked God to remove my Thorn, but He said my Grace is sufficient. “I must boast, although it does not do any good. I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ. Fourteen years ago – whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows – that man was snatched away to the third heaven. I know that this man – whether in his body or outside of his body, I do not know, but God knows – was snatched away to Paradise and heard things that cannot be expressed in words, things that no human being has a right even to mention. I will boast about this man, but as for myself, I will boast only about my weaknesses. However, if I did want to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I am not going to do it in order to keep anyone from thinking more of me than what he sees and hears about me. To keep me from becoming conceited because of the exceptional nature of these revelations, a Thorn was given to me and placed in my body. It was Satan’s messenger to keep on tormenting me so that I would not become conceited. I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me, but he has told me, “My grace is all you need, for my power is perfected in weakness”. Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.(2 Corinthians 12:1-9)  A thorn in my flesh so I will not boast of myself, but that I may boast of Jesus Christ in my flesh, ” His Grace is sufficient.  A thorn so I may boast of the power of God to the Revelation of Jesus Christ at work in my spirit. “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.

Let All That You Do Be Done In Love

I Corinthians 13:1 says “If I speak in tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.”  And, if I have prophetic power, as to understand all mysteries and all knowledge,  And, if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  “Jewel of Nugget”, we as a people need love, we need to be loved. We as a people need Jehovah God because when you find God and get a personal relationship with Him, you will for sure find Love. Speaking of a relationship with Jehovah God,  1 John says, “We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commandments.  Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.  “Jewel of Nugget”, We are creatures of Love because God, our heavenly Father put a heart of love in our custom-made body, And then he blew the breath of life into our nostril.  God blew his Spirit into your Spirit. You are special because you have God in your heart, And that is the ability to Love like God Love, But the only way you have access to this love is through a changed heart saturated with the Bible, and the righteousness of  the Word of God, And faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.”  If I give away all my possessions, And if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.  Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  “Jewel of Nugget” You were created in the image of God to Love, to love your family, friends, and other people in the world, and around the world. But a Christian will need the power of the Holy Spirit to Love as God commands him/her to live. You can do it because you have the author of the Love Book in your heart.  With the Spiritual Gifts that are given to you by God and infused by the power of the Holy Spirit, to be used in a more excellent way.  “The Love Lyrical” the Bible.

THE LIFE OF MORTALS

There are a lot of good things that you can say about life in general. The lifestyle that mortals seek after to make for themselves a good life.  Everyone love life and they try to make their life as good as it can possibly be, in fact, they try to make their life exciting and perfect here on this earth. People like to feel good, eat good, look good, and live on the mountain top at all expense. Their motive is to eat, drink and be merry. A life-like this will not consist of the good things of life. Only God is good.  As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to Him and fell on his knees before Him. “Good teacher”, he asked, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good – except God alone”.(Mark10:18).  If a mortal man leaves God out of his life he has no good in his life. Christian have access to the good life by God’s peace with hope through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Through whom we have gained access by faith into His grace, and now we stand boasting in the hope of His glory and praising God. “Jewel of Nuggets” But because we have access to the good life by God’s Peace and Hope, we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance; character; and character hope”. Hope for The good life, is life with God, walking with Him by faith, trusting in Him for all your needs. Mortal man was created by God, man needs God to live a good life because God is good and only He can make man life good because everything that man need is in Jehovah God the All Omnipotent God.  He did not promise man a life of roses but he did promise never to leave you alone. A life without God is not a life at all, it is just an illusion, an illusion of something you think you can successfully build.  But the problem is that it will not stand if God is not in the building plan. You read in the Bible 2 Chronicles, chapters 1-6 how God choose David as King over Israel, but He chose his son Solomon to build His Temple. Step by step God gave the implicit and direct instructions of how He wanted His Temple to be built. When we become a believer in God we are His chosen people we become a new person,  a creation in Him from the old man being born in sin and no personal relationship with God to a new Mortal Man who become a new creation by the gift of grace and is now joint heirs to God by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ by washing away sin and now man has access to the presence of God. “So that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:7).  A life without God will be filled with vanity: the meaning of vanity is: excessive pride in one’s appearance, qualities, abilities, achievements, it is the character or quality of being vain or conceited. Christians can discern the spirits of Mortal Man and see that they are naked without clothing, plainly speaking without God.  Eve and Adam disobeyed God’s commandment: “And the Lord God commanded the man, “you are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die”.  And when they ate the fruit that God commanded them not to eat they did die. They were still alive but they died spiritually.  “Jewel of Nuggets”. Therefore Mortal Man is naked, He needs to be clothed in the righteousness of God to live a called life to glorify God in service by the fruits that he bears. “But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control”.(Galatians 5:22). So Christians you need to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Mortal Man. He needs God, he needs to read the Word of God.

IN THE VALLEY

In the Valley. To be in the valley denotes a low place. It brings on a feeling of an unpleasant place, where you are now confused and torched, and pulled in so many different ways until the mental capacity is unable to function and keep you in a place to fight to climb out of the valley to escape its hold on you. The Psalmist David writes, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod (God Word) and your staff (Holy Spirit) they comfort me).  In the Bible is where a Born again child of God get their strength. When you are in your Valley it gives you a chance to look at your Valley and get familiar with the pain and struggle of the journey.  For sure never run from your struggles, sit and stare at what you are facing with positive Words of Faith in God’s available power. ” Jewel of Nuggets” I can do this, I can walk through this valley because God is with me.  In Genesis, God promised Abraham to deliver His people out of  Egypt to a better land. But before they entered into their promised land that God was giving them, they found themselves in the Wilderness, in relations to a Valley. But God was there speaking words of encouragement and guiding them through the Wilderness. In Genesis 26:18-19 we read. “Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them” “Isaac’s servants dug in the “Valley” and discovered a well of fresh water”. “Jewel of Nuggets” If you stay in your valley long enough You will get fresh water, a fresh pouring out of the Holy Spirit. (what a powerful blessing that will be). I mention before while you are in the valley get familiar with what has you in a valley Hold.” ” so when you have familiarized yourself with the valley hold you can break free of the hold on you. Child of God prayer is your weapon, talking to God about your valley hold will bring everything into perspective. Also reading God’s Word in the Bible will bring peace, comfort, and the joy of assurance that your valley is just temporary. There is a bright side of being in the valley (it is) you will know after the Valley comes the Mountain Top. Standing on the Mountain Top with exalting praise, praise, praise will bring your valley to defeat.  You need the encouraging presence of God. It will give you the ability to know that this too shall pass. Faith comes when you trust what the Word of God says. While you are in a valley experience just remember most people come from a Mountain Top experience to the Valley. At least I like to think so, I hope that most people get the Mountain Top experience along with their valley experiences. I myself have experienced my share of valley experience, but my mountain top experience has always been in exaltation. We who are Christians serve a great God, and He wants the people who are called by His name to mount up on eagles wings and sore.  But because He loves us, and we do not know the mind of God He may allow us to stay in the Valley for a while. But because He is a kind and loving Father, He will walk right beside you in The Valley. “Jewel of Nuggets” “Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I’m not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd’s crook makes me feel secure.”

First blog post

This is a beautiful picture.  As far as you can look is a colorful orange sitting of the Sun and the dark rugged ocean is a spectacular sight.  I love the scenery. What an awesome God we serve.  I just love nature, to set by the ocean any time of the day is good. Morning, Noon, or Night, and as far as you can see its nothing but the jewel of nugget from the creator sitting there with all that it is within it self.  It even have a move of its own, so silk, so smooth, it is all calm within it self.  Sometime it is all tough, hard and rugged within it self.  It resembles it’s maker, God created the ocean, the whole universe to look like Him, by that I mean to have His personality.  God is Love, but sometime just like our earthly parents who chastises us for reasons of disobedient, God also chastise us, He allows our wrong choices to make our destiny or change our destiny. So therefore our choice to be disobedient to the “Will” of God, sets in the reaping and sowing motion. When you reap the hardness of a Holy God, it can resemble the rough, dark, swift movement of this ocean. This big dark rugged ocean was created by a God in whose wrath you do not want to fall under. He is a Holy and righteous God. But our God is love. He is kind. He is forgiving. He is the Almighty God who made the big wide ocean in all of it’s glory. It is all that God created it to be, not more or not less, this picture of many waters is just what it is intended to represent. A God who is eternal. Just look at the blend of the orange color sky with the sitting of the sun how it blends together as one. What an amazing view of them together. It is beautiful. I love watching the ocean, to me it is one of God’s masterpieces. A beautiful Jewel of Nugget to drop into the soul.  Well, just another one of my Jewel of nuggets for the Soul.
