Expect You MIRACLE Today & Every Day or You Might...

Only those who expect MIRACLES in every part of every day....live lives filled with MIRACLES and far more graces & Blessings than the average person alive on earth.

We receive what we we expect.

If you or I wake up anticipating bad news...

Guess what your phone will ring all day with problems.

For everyone who knows that Johnny or Jane expects days filled with problems....

Others assume that Johnny & Jane are exactly who they are to call & visit with every single delima that not only they personally encounter...

But recommend Johnny & Jane to each person they meet and greet along every single street whether in Ponchatoula Louisiana...

Or on the coast of Madagascar, Nigeria, Malawi, Egypt, India or Yugoslavia.

Earth geography never limits God's laws of deliverance, blessing or prosperity.

Nor is God ever limited by our circumstances.

We can always accept less than God's best and settle for what others are content with....

Or we can reach out for HIS greater gifts.

Jesus said:  "Far greater things than these you shall do...

For I go to my Father at HIS right hand and anything I ask is mine anything you ask in my Name My Father & I shall do for you & through you!"

We All Can Receive MIRACLES and Be Vessels Through Which God Grants MIRACLES to Others

Though we must not be afraid of what others will say or think,

Nor can we be controlled by other's opinions are talk of us.

We who desire to be chases down by both blessings and MIRACLES that never cease but only keep multiplying with our joyful smiles and laughter in spite of devils who seek and track us...

We must keep on keeping on singing regardless who is murmuring behind our backs.

As we heard in last Sunday's Gospel the Lord was not concerned of who what about who HE is...

And so shall we must be continuing to bless others with our smiles and songs...there will always be someone like our former next door neighbor Veronica on Alvin Callender Street when we with God were building our home...

She came outside yelling one day not able to understand how not even hers & her nephews hateful actions against us could not kill our spirits.

She came outside as I was singing new songs through joyful tears...tears that our neighbors were trying to stifle the rebuilding of our home.

What we had completed the day before our neighbors had punched holes into in the night...

But I sang new songs to the God above knowing HE who watches through the night from HIS throne up above not only saw the crimes against us in the night but had the power to restore not only that which the angry jealous locusts had stolen...

They who were filled with jealousy, anger and hate and have never been loved nor have loved themselves....

No different than the Ponchatoula local native neighbors who say out of one side of their mouth that they are going to build Ponchatoula into a thriving economic marketing business center, yet they tie up themselves in bondage that they cannot grow...

By shunning newcomers who choose to make Ponchatoula home!

No town or city will ever grow & prosper past the point they are today without welcoming new citizens not only physically into their neighborhoods, and into the community and church families.

Regardless how many families come and are shunned they will eventually move on in the same numbers or even more.

For every family and community has both sincere and insincere folks whom they call their own.

Those whose hearts are pure but were born within a thorny city among hateful tit-tat chatter boxes who love not...

Eventually these too will choose to move onto a better place where they will not be embarrassed by their previous associations whether blood or geographic.

No they will follow the lead of those who come full of life seeking to bless an entire community when they first arrived...but refuse to live an entire life time among grumblers and wishy -washy complainers.

As Joyce Meyer has taught over the years....one can choose to complain and remain and go around and around a same old mountain of a pill.

Or you & I and each of us can reach out and beyond our circumstances for another new dream...when others fight to long and hard resisting thy kindness and blessing...

As Jesus said:  "Shake of their dust and move on..."

Such cities will never grow but as Sodom & Gomorrah will be your town or city who shuns the hearts who of those who enter bearing kindness and generosity of their grateful loving hearts...

Such a town or city will never grow but die  from their own choices....their own deception...

The fruit never falls far from the tree and the selfish resentful hearts wither and never blossom but rather their self-righteousness they fatten and fluff and spread as an eagle spreads its wings...

Then they go around time gloating convincing themselves and each other that they together did a good thing.

A Warning To Everyone For When You Open New Online Accounts....Humorous Consequences That Can Make For More Dangerous Circumstances If Not Caught or Corrected...

Anyone who has known my husband William and I for any length of time know that for my first 49 years of iife that I had physical tunnel vision for real!!   Yes REALLY!

 

That I only saw a small portion of any one's faces at a time, and that I was raised as a sighted child because my parents would not acknowledge my challenges for they were ashamed of "who or what I was."

 

And that on the Feast of the Holy Family 2009 I received a Eucharistic MIRACLE in my eyes and have enjoyed given thanks & praise for nearly three and a half years of landscapes and full length drapes!

 

So I have done some amazing things for someone who literally at times could not see what was under her ow nose!

 

I graduated from Grace King High School without ever having read much with understanding.

To satisfy my mother I sat on my bed for hours just every once in a while turning a page....

But since what was printed in those books made no sense to me and I could not see...

 

That time was not wasted... for in my heart I was not in a chair at a desk nor was I lounged on my bed reading...

I was conversing with my Lord my God and your God...

I would ask HIM to fill my heart and mind with whatever I needed to know...to stay safe at home, school or on the school bus...

Walking down hills or through my neighborhood.

 

A friend who I had not been in touch with for quite some time sent me an invite to open a "  LinkedIN " account.

Happy to hear from her I did just that thinking I could take my time that there would be no hurry to build a resume for myself and at a future date possibly this could help me grow a licensed business with  income doing what I enjoy the most...free-motion embroidery, crochet and writing.

 

But what happened was as I opened this "Linked IN " account, I was interrupted.

And as always, I embraced my interruption... as you do too... 

Took care of whatever it was my husband need that time....

 

I do my share of asking him questions that too for him are not at the best timing...

It happens in all marriages in all kinds of friendships...

 

There is no fault placing here...  No anger or frustration but rather jovial laughter and entertainment...

Life is much easier when one can laugh at and with themselves...

But what happened since I did not stay with the program as I first began opening this Linked IN account was it automatically sent invitations to everyone who I ever wrote an email to from the first date I opened this email address.   And not only to these who I possibly only wrote once ever, some were business inquires that I never thought about again in over 5 years.

 

Other auto invitations went to folks who I never wrote but their email address was attached to one of those cutesy poems with pictures many just keep forwarding and forwarding over and over...certainly none of these I ever thought would one day show up as "CONNECTIONS"

 

And since I at times post to my blogs not signed into blogger but from my email as I am doing now...

Linked IN posted connection requests to my blogs for about a 5th time last night.

 

So instead of going into Blogger and removing those comical posts  "MrsStephanie............invites you to CONNECT"  from my blogs...

I am leaving Linked IN right there...

Instead I will post this on all of them...

 

And make a game of it...

 

But it could have serious consequence when an unsent invite is accepted by someone who is worse than unpleasant.

 

I HAVE CUT OF several CONNECTIONS....some without any explanation.

 

Check your email contact list for many email systems save all information as your potential contacts even though you do not routinely write email to them nor they to you.

And you can possibly also have your account hacked into through these odd seemingly insignificant addresses that seem not worth even giving time to DELETE!

 

But do it!  DELETE DELETE!

And when you open new accounts do not let systems access your contact lists, manually type the ones you want to communicate with the new account and you will have fewer headaches of             SPAM JAMS...

 

And you will not have to check your new account more often than you would have liked to to make certain you have no spying new connections...that maybe unsafe for you...

As happened to me!

 

But the Lord will always keep us free indeed with out needs HE cannot nor will not meet...

And when the devil does raise his head....

 

Whether a cyber spyer...a marriage divider...or simply folks who some how did not learn or remember from Kindergarten how to introduce themselves and ask others their names....

I guess till Jesus comes back there will be those who try to force themselves upon others instead..

 

When anyone is rude, crude, or  speaks with forked tongue...

Remember our Lord said to cut off the hand that causes us to sin...

 

Don't you wish that it was as easy to get rid of all of these....as pushing or clicking a DELETE BUTTON!

Is Your House With Your Mouth Moving Mountains?

We all can by simply choosing to speak words that build...sometimes we must correct...
But we can do so the first time privately...

The Lord's Word actually commands that we privately correct our brother or sister who sins against us the first time...

But then if they do not correct their behavior bring in another brother or sister to join you correcting again...
Then publicly...and if they change not their behavior...this can include the way they may shamefully dress..

Treat them as an unbeliever...
Cut off they who who refuse to live & walk sinless & blamelessly before the Lord!

When God builds the house...
When God molds us and our families...

We can rise above all things...even above the arrogance of those who choose to be loose not chaste....
Let them lose their own race to heaven with our Lord and Savior!

But let not your heart be troubled or soured...
You cany can can...

Be an Esther or a Jacob and make better choices than your wicked parents who are self justified.
So never be blue and the words that you choose will either build your house our tear it down...
And regardless which you do...HE will come running when you come unglued & return to your former senses you were born with...

HE will take back every lost sheep who calls onto HIM repenting!

Amen Amen and Alleluia!

This House Was MIRACULOUSLY PURCHASED; MIRACULOUSLY SOLD!

On July 25, 2000 GOD who had found and chosen this house for us....MADE IT OURS!

This lot and matchbox house was valued and was offered for purchase for only $5000.00 through then Mayor Marc Morial's program for first time home buyers as a means to rid the city of blight.

Yet we had not the ability to secure a loan for even the mere $5000.00 the land and house frame...  We tried all the normal routes asking relatives who had more money than they or their descendants could spend in their life times...

We applied for all the Fannies and Frankies and Freddie Mackey Macs...which we not only did not qualify for back then....but today we all know went bankrupt...

So GOD had made our way even back then...not allowing us to go through the plans for the poor that HE KNEW would eventually fail...

Those who belong to The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY... Who walk in HIS Ways Ever So Faithfully!!!
Who refuse to support the unrighteous choices of others...even those made by sisters, brothers, fathers or mothers....or even by their pastors..

Those who refuse to condone bad behavior...whether they openly verbally defend sin and unrighteousness or simply condone by being silent when their position CALLS them to correct the unjust.

When anyone, whether you and your spouse or me and mine, refuse to go along with such a crowd in spite of being shunned from the inside groupies of ones community or church...

GOD WILL Always make a way for these who not only hunger for righteousness but risk expulsion when GOD CALLS THEM to speak out and demand and require others to respect and follow and obey
 HIS TEN COMMANDMENTS...

Not having eyes for another's wife or husband...requiring others to address them properly.

This HOUSE WAS BUILT WITH WORDS...

WORDS that HE put into us which we could have not spoken, but then had we not this house GOD would not have built, would not have sold for $130,000.00 POST-KATRINA and moved us farther!

GREAT are the afflictions and challenges of the righteous and we shall have battle scars...Why would the enemy attack those who compromise their values?

He already controls them..or at least has a toe hole in them enough that they cannot be used by Almighty GOD...
They are what my husband calls "Want-a-Bees!"

Though OUR LORD SHALL and ALWAYS ....  DELIVERS US from all ...from all snares and traps set to catch us...GOD shall use to snatch the wicked themselves.

So fear not...The weapons formed against us...Sing in their midst as GOD redirects their paths at their senders!

REJOICE OH HIGHLY BLESSED!

Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!

WHENEVER THIS HOUSE SPOKE>>GOD MOVED LAND MOUNTAINS & STOPPED STORMS!

HE is NO RESPECTOR of PERSONS but of:
          SPOKEN EXPECTANT FAITH!
You can Build your House or Tear Down Steep Weighty     Burdenous Mountains    BY OPENING YOUR MOUTH &
       VOICING YOUR DESIRES IN HIS WORDS!
