Tender Spots

 

Vicky Adkins

 

Vicky wrote this article 7 years ago. She gave it to me to put in The Vine prior to becoming ill.  Whether it is a fall, potato soup or Covid-19 - Father truly goes before us - revealing the tender spots that only He can heal! 

 

Sharing an old article I wrote January 11, 2015. We love you all. Thank you so much for keeping me and Chuck in your prayer.  It is appreciated so very much!!!


Did you ever take a step, thinking you knew without thinking exactly where the step you were taking would be? Does that sound like a confusing question? I hope not! I got up to let the dogs out. It was the middle of the night – I don’t remember what time – and I’d only been asleep a few hours. I was awake, mind you… And alert, too. But when I opened the door to our sun porch and stepped down into the room, the step wasn’t there! The dogs had moved it – how, I don’t know – and that step was about 5 feet away from the door. I grabbed the door frame before I completely lost my balance and managed to stay on my feet, but not without twisting my body and landing much harder than I would have liked. All I was trying to do was bless our dogs by letting them go out to do their business in the middle of the night. 

 

Beloved Warrior, we may find ourselves in moments where we’ve tried to do things to bless people – or animals – only to discover in the process of doing so, that we get hurt or life gets messy. Our intentions may be both good and GOD inspired but the results aren't what we anticipated...

Chuck's Anecdotes

Keep On Believing!

Hebrews 11:6

 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek Him"

A song I wrote not long after getting saved in 1982 in Nashville when I was 30 years old. I was playing in a Christian pop group called Freedom. We will have to put the recording on YouTube one of these days

Keep on believin' when things are going wrong

Keep on believin' you can sing this simple song

Everyone gets down sometimes but

Keep on believin' and let His love light shine

Stand on your faith 

Say a prayer and

Keep on believin'

'Cause Jesus really cares

 

Keep on believin' every day and every night

Keep on believin' everything's gonna be all right and soon you'll

See your problems fade away so

Keep on believin' until the judgment day

Stand on your faith 

Say a prayer and

Keep on believin'

'Cause Jesus really cares

You may be suffering from a dreadful disease 

Then old satan comes along just as sly as he can be

He's gonna tell you that God doesn't care

Well you just speak out in the name of Jesus

Devil get out of here

 

Keep on believin'

When things are gettin' rough

Keep on believin'

Don't you know that you've got to be tough

Keep your feet on solid ground and

Keep on believin' 

Don't lose what you have found

Stand on your faith 

Say a prayer and

Keep on believin' 

'Cause Jesus really cares

We need to keep on believing!

 

Shalom Family.

Chuck

Overcome every form of evil as a victorious soldier of Jesus the Anointed One.

For every soldier called to active duty must divorce himself from the distractions of this world so that he may fully satisfy the One who chose him.

The Fruit of "Who We Are"

 

In Galatians 5, Paul describes the "fruit" of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. It is a vivid picture revealing such complete opposite attitudes, mindsets, and the issues of life that spring from our hearts, (See Prov.4:23), that it is the difference between darkness and light.

 

Darkness is the absence of light, and sin always hides in darkness. Jesus said, "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."

 

God is LIGHT and in HIM is NO darkness at all! If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth, We all bring forth fruit...

Stand Firm - Stand Strong

 

Words that stand out this month.

 

1. “Stand Firm”

2. “Stand Strong”

3. “Don’t lose your grip”

 

Matthew 17:7: But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.”

 

As we start to trust, and place our lives in Gods hand, we soon find ourselves being led to a high mountain where the foundation is solid, but it’s also found to be solitary too. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid of standing alone. On this high place you will fight harsher weather, it will be hard to hear GOD sometimes with the winds of adversity howling with opposition, trying to bring you down. Don’t be afraid. Stand firm, don’t lose your grip! Don’t be discouraged, even when the enemy tries to push you off the high mountain, he won’t be able to reach you, not without GOD’s permission. Hard times will be come and must be confronted while standing...

Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Grace the transforming Power of God, and Peace that comes from our Lord Jesus. Peace being the shalom, meaning wholeness and completeness.  That is the will of God our Father that we abide in every day all day. Sometimes I think we as the children of God can take on a self martyrdom complex because we believe we are as sheep led to the slaughter, BUT that is not the truth.

 

Romans 8:36 as it is written, for thy sake we are killed all day long; we are counted as sheep to the slaughter, ever hear that?  Yes, we all have, BUT read verse 37, a great big NAY [no indeed] in other words ‘no way’.  Another way to say it would be no chance, that is not the will, passive will of God for his children. We are not in the hands of the devil or the world to be disposed of whenever they so felt like it. You, yes you, are sons and daughters of the most high God. We need to get that in our head and hearts...

Our Path of Life Ministry Leader, Amelia Petrunia, shares the following regarding praying for Canada & Freedom: 

 

On 1.28.22, the Lord gave me a word about what was coming and said they were going to meet with great resistance and it would be costly this freedom…But He has it all prepared:

 

This move of man drawing together to fight against the evil that has been released against the people of this nation, shall draw more to see; and shall continue to grow in pockets all over this nation.

 

Fires small fires starting across this nation – people being inspired, people being given the moment to have a voice...
