Greetings brothers and sisters, saints of the Most High God. I hope this blog space finds you well! Today I wanted to come on here and communicate a little bit with you, about where I came from, and where I'm headed, so to speak. Originally, I created this blog, The Wonderful Word Online, as a tool of encouragement, primarily for new believers and/or pre-believers. Over time, this blog evolved or developed as also a space where I shared (some) of my dreams and/or a little about on my personal life, as they related to God, Jesus, and/or the Bible. In my lifetime, I've had two different laptops stolen two different times, sadly!! Once when I lived in Yorba Linda, CA, they just took it out of my car trunk when I stepped inside for but a moment! The other time was when I was living or staying at a shelter in Santa Ana, and again, they took it out of my car trunk (losers!). But, God gave me this 3rd device I am currently using; most of the time it works great. Only once that I can recall it wigged out on me while I had been using the meta meta-book social media, you know the one I'm referring to, with MZ.
I've been slowly re-plodding through the book of Revelations I'd say over the past month or so. I'd read a chapter a day, or so; go a few days without reading, and then go back to it. I'm close to chapter 18 or so now. I love to read the Word of God! How about you? When I check to see who, if any, are reading my blog posts here, there are people from all over the world who read it or who have visited this page. I did this blog in part as an outreach also, and though I had zero subscribers, there have been a handful or so of readers. In addition, I have been faithful over time to continue typing and writing. Typing was a skill I learned in junior high school, on a typewriter! Our teacher would give us timed tests, and demand that we practice, practice, practice! And, our teacher would emphasize proper posture and so on. That was nearly 40 years ago or so; I'm not sure because I am just rambling off the top of my head right now at the moment!
This is my preferred way of communicating with the remnant believers moving forward. I do not have tools or good skill at video communications, but I do have a good mind and good typing skills. So, this is what I can do, so this is what I will do (Lord-willing moving forward).
I've also had some time reviewing others video teachings lately, and I am glad and grateful for that. I learned from someone else, one time, that the spirit of God in me resonates with the spirit of God in you, meaning a true believer can discern another true believer from a false prophet and/or a false teacher. If you are reading this, then it's likely that you are a true believer and not a false phoney, unless you're of the dark side spying kind. But, I doubt that.
Speaking of spies, its interesting how the dancing divas have come out to my classes as of late. I want them to shine, so it doesn't bother me. But, more than anything, my heart desires that everyone in the dance world that I am associated with, would come to know and love Jesus like I do! Jesus Christ of Nazareth is THE BEST THING that has EVER happened to me! And, no, I'm not a perfect person, but I am PERFECTLY LOVED by my ABBA Father in heaven; and, in me, according to John 17 or thereabouts.
I've also been VERY curious to LEARN about the prayers of Jesus. I want to know what did He pray for me, on my behalf, when He was in the garden of Gethsamane before He would go to the cross.
Are you thankful for the blood of Jesus Christ? If you have read this far, then I take it you know and you love Jesus Christ. Some have said His name is Yeshua. I know and have read that His name was Emmanuel and also Messiah. I choose not to argue over exactly what His name is supposed to be; I learned Him as Jesus, God, and Lord. And, that He was and is God who came in the flesh, whose life, death and resurrection saves me from eternal hell punishment if I put my faith and hope in Him. So, that is what I have done and will continue to do.
I need, or I want, some good works to put on! I recently had a dialogue with the Lord about "how was I doing?" I am the type of personality that gets easily crushed, believe it or not. And, yet, I can also be as strong as can be, depending on which voice I am listening to.
So, I think this month, January, will be a month to meditate and think about, taking every thought captive and making it obedient to Jesus Christ. Have you ever believed a lie about yourself? I know I have. I think God wants me to believe the truth about myself, and the truth about myself is found in His Word. For example, I am not a worthless human being, though satan would love for me to think this way about myself. Whenever I have unbiblical thoughts about myself, with God's help, I will change my thinking to thinking more biblically in every area of my life.
There's little money in my bank account, and there's no husband. But, I do not feel bad about it (anymore). God has chosen to slowly remove funds from me, and I trust that He's done this for His purpose(s). This life here on planet earth is God's preparation time for our eternity with Him.
Please, if you have not already done so, please say yes to Jesus Christ. Please obey all that He taught us to do. Confess your sin before God, and be sincerely sorry for sinning against a holy God! Ask God to help you live for Him and for Him alone. Go read Psalm 51; and psalm 91.
I am thinking of what or how I want to read the Bible this year. I really want a 6-month reading plan; I desire strongly to read through the entire Bible within a 6-month time frame. But, I don't have any kind of reading plan at the moment, other than whatever whim I get for the day. We have been instructed to study the Word to show ourselves approved, so I would like to get on track and stay on track.
I am elated for the new adventures some of you are having, that I heard of. It's so wonderful to see the hand of God provide for you, over and over and over. I am so thankful, also, for every provision He's ever given me. Even there's little money in my account like I previously stated, I have all that He thinks I need, and that's enough for me!
I plan to go listen to another video, Lord-willing, and learn and get edified. There's a handful of you special ones who the Lord is using; I believe you already know who you are. May He continue to provide, comfort, fill, and strengthen you alls in your innermost beings (if you're reading this now).
All praise, glory, and high honor belong to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and to Him alone. Blessed be the name of the Lord, forever. Hallelujah and maranatha.
