I love God so much my friends how He is talking this age in time to our hearts and want to bring His message to us and the world!
This morning my mind was going over the daily things and was bussy at home... I came to sit overhere with my cup of coffee taking an break and was thinking " Today is wednesday, what verse and image shall i put up for "WFW""? " Shall i join or shall i not join"? I was more leaning not to this week because i felt the pressure to go further with the job i was doing. ( My cup of coffe was finished..LOL)
Like i heard an voice saying THIS MESSAGE you must picture today........" Do YOU agree with this what this artist ( brother) is singing"?
God touched my heart with this because He knows EVERY thought we have........
Because the whole morning i was re-arrange the house looking at our furniture ( belongings) and thinking.....that material wise we have fare lesser than maybe 10 years ago.......And i was wondering than despite this i am so at peace and know are SURE that all will be restored again........
I could not comprehend or bring it under words THIS realization but knew I have PEACE so God is in all of this...( Emanuel...God with us...)
And not even an hour further He speaks to me and i know to you because He wants to bring this message to His children.....
My favor is on your life, wonderful things will happen to you and for you. Favor will take you where nothing else can take you. Favor can open doors and prevent calamity. Favor can help you do more with less. Favor can make a way where there is no way!
He sent me to look for an image and verse and i found this picture and message in this devotion ( also an good read full of encouragement and wisdom out of God's Word)
My friends be blessed this WFW

Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4
You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 1John 3:5
Redeeming God, you offer abundant life to all your children. We long to receive your pardon and protection. Fill us with faith to believe in your total redemption, even as we struggle to understand the good news of your all-embracing salvation.
Thank you, Father, for doing the impossible — your Son bears my sin. What a gift for me that my ugly sin is what Jesus takes, while I get his beauty in return! I’m sorry that I’ve failed to speak of all that he has done for me. Today remind me what a friend I have in Jesus! Amen.
Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord.”
John 20:18
Today's Prayer
How blessed are my feet, Lord! Thanks for placing me in your presence, where my eyes can see and my ears can hear. How blessed it is to be in that company of saints who hear your promises and depend on you in all things. Help me announce to others the way to this broad place with you.
Brother Jesus, open our eyes to see you face to face in the familiarity
of our homes, congregations, and in our places of work and play.
Surprise us with glimpses of your passion and grace where we least

God said this week ( and everyday to us.substitute your name also..)
John 15:16 Bernice has been chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit.
Bernice didn't choose Me, but I chose Bernice, and appointed her, that sheshould go and bear fruit, and that herfruit should remain; that whatever Bernice will ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to her.
Titus 3:5 Bernice is washed and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
Not by works of righteousness, which Bernice did herself, but according to His mercy, He saved Bernice, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.
I Peter 2:9 Bernice is a member of a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession.
Bernice is a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that Bernice may show forth the excellencies of Him who called her out of darkness into His marvelous light.
I John 2:28 Bernice has boldness and is not ashamed.
Now, Bernice should remain in Him, that when He appears, Bernice may have boldness, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
John 5:24Bernice has passed from death to life in Christ.
Most assuredly I tell you, if Bernice hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, Bernice has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but she has passed out of death into life.
Rom. 8:1-2 Bernice is forever free from condemnation.
There is therefore now no condemnation for Bernice because she is in Christ Jesus, because Bernice doesn't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made Bernice free from the law of sin and death.
Rom. 8:31-34 Bernice is free from any condemning charges against her.
What then shall we say about these things? If God is for Bernice, who can be against her? He who didn't spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for Bernice, how would He not also with Him freely give Bernice all things? Who could bring a charge against Bernice , because she is one of God's elect? It is God who justifies Bernice . Who is He who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God and makes intercession for Bernice.
I don't know about you but when those words and the reality sinks in in my mind and soul....I feel FEARLESS and the power of this image

Jesus cried “abba, father” to God (mark 14:36), and st. paul tells us in romans 8:15 “the Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship, and by him we cry, “Abba, Father”, and again in galatians 4:6 “because you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father”.
Watchword for the Week -- Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same
Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord. 1
Corinthians 12:4,5
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:33
Today's New Testament Verse
Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make you complete in everything good so that you may do his will. Hebrews 13:20–21
Today's Prayer
Lord, what a huge burden you’ve lifted from me. Thank you for being my Maker. You make your covenant with me. In every way you can complete your will in me. I regret that I still resist your Spirit. Show me what you have written on the walls of my heart and help me to share your message today. Faithful One, remind us of your everlasting love. Help us to show that
love to others. By your resurrection power, may we seek justice and give
freely to those in need in our community and our world. Amen.
read already some "bits and pieces' and really enjoy all the beautiful video's.But this morning i carved the time out to sit read and speak out those affirmations.
This serie will help me for sure to go throug the year more Intentionally
Bernice didn't choose Me, but I chose Bernice, and appointed her, that sheshould go and bear fruit, and that herfruit should remain; that whatever Bernice will ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to her.
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
25 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live."
Most assuredly I tell you, if Bernice hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, Bernice has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but she has passed out of death into life.
On the 29th decemer 2008 I wrote this on my blog as an "New Years meditation" .I believe God is at work to bring me to this new venture to blog........... He want me to put "pen on paper" to see HIS work in progress in my life especially this year of 2009

Watchword for the Week -- Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same
Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:4,5
Monday, January 18
Psalm 12 Genesis 19:30-20:18; Matthew 7:13-23
Yet I planted you as a choice vine, from the purest stock. How then did
you turn degenerate and become a wild vine? Jeremiah 2:21
Are you so foolish? Did you experience so much for nothing? Galatians 3:3-4
Merciful One, we confess that we have rebelled against you in our hearts, actions, and words, and divided your church. Melt our hearts to become united and set ablaze with your Spirit, turning away from foolishness. Amen.
Let's read together the verses of today out of the msg version:
1-2 Quick, God, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down,
All the friends I depended on gone.
Everyone talks in lie language;
Lies slide off their oily lips.
They doubletalk with forked tongues.
3-4 Slice their lips off their faces! Pull
The braggart tongues from their mouths!
I'm tired of hearing, "We can talk anyone into anything!
Our lips manage the world."
5 Into the hovels of the poor,
Into the dark streets where the homeless groan, God speaks:
"I've had enough; I'm on my way
To heal the ache in the heart of the wretched."
6-8 God's words are pure words,
Pure silver words refined seven times
In the fires of his word-kiln,
Pure on earth as well as in heaven.
God, keep us safe from their lies,
From the wicked who stalk us with lies,
From the wicked who collect honors
For their wonderful lies.
30 Lot left Zoar and went into the mountains to live with his two daughters; he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his daughters.
31-32 One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is getting old and there's not a man left in the country by whom we can get pregnant. Let's get our father drunk with wine and lie with him. We'll get children through our father—it's our only chance to keep our family alive."
33-35 They got their father drunk with wine that very night. The older daughter went and lay with him. He was oblivious, knowing nothing of what she did. The next morning the older said to the younger, "Last night I slept with my father. Tonight, it's your turn. We'll get him drunk again and then you sleep with him. We'll both get a child through our father and keep our family alive." So that night they got their father drunk again and the younger went in and slept with him. Again he was oblivious, knowing nothing of what she did.
36-38 Both daughters became pregnant by their father, Lot. The older daughter had a son and named him Moab, the ancestor of the present-day Moabites. The younger daughter had a son and named him Ben-Ammi, the ancestor of the present-day Ammonites.
Genesis 20
1-2 Abraham traveled from there south to the Negev and settled down between Kadesh and Shur. While he was camping in Gerar, Abraham said of his wife Sarah, "She's my sister."
2-3 So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her. But God came to Abimelech in a dream that night and told him, "You're as good as dead—that woman you took, she's a married woman."
4-5 Now Abimelech had not yet slept with her, hadn't so much as touched her. He said, "Master, would you kill an innocent man? Didn't he tell me, 'She's my sister'? And didn't she herself say, 'He's my brother'? I had no idea I was doing anything wrong when I did this."
6-7 God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know your intentions were pure, that's why I kept you from sinning against me; I was the one who kept you from going to bed with her. So now give the man's wife back to him. He's a prophet and will pray for you—pray for your life. If you don't give her back, know that it's certain death both for you and everyone in your family."
8-9 Abimelech was up first thing in the morning. He called all his house servants together and told them the whole story. They were shocked. Then Abimelech called in Abraham and said, "What have you done to us? What have I ever done to you that you would bring on me and my kingdom this huge offense? What you've done to me ought never to have been done."
10 Abimelech went on to Abraham, "Whatever were you thinking of when you did this thing?"
11-13Abraham said, "I just assumed that there was no fear of God in this place and that they'd kill me to get my wife. Besides, the truth is that she is my half sister; she's my father's daughter but not my mother's. When God sent me out as a wanderer from my father's home, I told her, 'Do me a favor; wherever we go, tell people that I'm your brother.'"
14-15 Then Abimelech gave Sarah back to Abraham, and along with her sent sheep and cattle and servants, both male and female. He said, "My land is open to you; live wherever you wish."
16 And to Sarah he said, "I've given your brother a thousand pieces of silver—that clears you of even a shadow of suspicion before the eyes of the world. You're vindicated."
17-18 Then Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his maidservants, and they started having babies again. For God had shut down every womb in Abimelech's household on account of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
13-14"Don't look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don't fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.
15-20"Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don't be impressed with charisma; look for character.Whopreachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.
21-23"Knowing the correct password—saying 'Master, Master,' for instance— isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here.'
"Jesus Jesus thank You Lord for Your word of Wisdom and guiding to KNOW what it is all that it is going about"!
Second Sunday after the Epiphany Watchword for the Week -- Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same
Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:4,5
Isaiah 62:1-5; Psalm 36:5-10 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; John 2:1-11
I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I
will pour my spirit upon your descendants, and my blessing on your
offspring. Isaiah 44:3
God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba!
Father!" Galatians 4:6
Gracious Father, we are thirsty for you. Pour your Spirit upon our families today -- our church family and our loved ones. Allow your streams to flow through the desert places in our hearts through your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
My thoughts went to think about how does GOD SPEAK to me......
Definately through music and creation. In my blogpost for TSMSS yesterday the words of the song spoke to me about Gods FAITHFULLNESS but the video was also beautiful full of tropical beauty.....made me remember my birthcountry and the schoolholidays spend in the reservations established by "boys rangers" in the middle of the Amazone.......
I feel so blessed that i grow up close to nature in the tropics " Surinam" a pearl of a country in the Amazone forest!
The waterfalls...The tropic rains, the animals who live around you and not in zoo
To notice how a seed grows and become a beautiful flower or a vegetable or fruit to eat.....
As a child i realize that i am part of nature and God take care of me just like he take care of the animals.The power in how things grow and in the storms and tropical rains and how night turns in day. Is the same power what God brings in my live when i look up to Him for His diretions....
It is amazing......
It is so important to look at nature and see God and aknowledge Him for what He has done and is doing...We are part of His artwork! Read what i found in the message translation
Romans 1:20 (The Message)
Ignoring God Leads to a Downward Spiral
18-23But God's angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

We will say no more, "Our God," to the work of our hands. Hosea 14:3
Gods made with hands are not gods. Acts 19:26
All which we create on our own is vanity, but everything you create is good! We shall not continue to trust in our own creation, but rather praise you in your good works to the ends of the earth. Amen.

QUOTE from LYSA TERKEUST!!(from " A MESS") I'm convinced there's a reason the first four letters of Messiah spell mess. We need Him. Only the Messiah can take our mess and turn it into a untangled message of hope, forgiveness, and ultimately love.
