From the fullness of His grace we have received one blessing right after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's Side, has made Him known. John 1:17-18
During my prayer time and devotions this morning I was asking the Lord what He would like posted today. The above verse along with a few more burned within my soul. Today dear one, know this, that if you have fallen prey and have become captive to hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world, rather than on Christ (Colossians1:15-19) He wants to call you out of it.
When He called me in December of 2006 the first thing He impressed upon my heart was that I was to model myself after the Bereans. Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true (Acts 17:11).
The best advice I can give anyone on their walk of faith is don't set yourself up for a great fall by focusing on a mere man or works and wonders. Keep your eyes on Yehsua ( Jesus). Respect those that God sends your way to teach you, but be wise enough to search the scriptures daily to see that what they are telling is the Truth. Pray over things that are stuck in your spirit. A little bit of us tends to come through, we are Human. God is God and we are not. When you are reading this blog, or a book someone has written or you are sitting under someone who is preaching or teaching, Pray to your heavenly Father who hears you and ask Him to speak to your heart and give you the message from Him through that tool that is the one He wants you to have....Be responsible for your relationship with Him.
If you see more of the person than you see the attributes of Jesus working through that person. RUN & PRAY...The focus should always be on Jesus, The One and Only....
I purposely do not post pictures of myself, it is not because I am horrid to look at. I have prayed over & over on this. When you visit this blog or the web site connected to it, all you should see reflected is my love for Him and Him....This blog and the site are His, I am merely a tool in His loving hands, nothing more.

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli

AMEN!! I could not have put that better. This is the same exact message the Lord has been pressing upon my heart. Let no man be responsible for your salvation besides Jesus.
Mk 10:18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone
What really stood out to me during this reading is the fact that the servants were Obedient to filling the jars with water and because of their Obedience, God had a chance to reveal His glory. Therefore His disciples put their Faith in Him.
Obedience precedes Faith. If we want to witness His glory, we must be Obedient.
