HOLDING FORTH THE LIGHT

                                                           LILACLADY JUNEBUG2   
                                           
                                                 WALKING BY FAITH - I KEEP CLIMBING


                               AS I LOOK
                     I SEE BEYOND
                      WHERE I AM
                      KNOWING 

                     THAT THERE IS 
                       SO MUCH MORE 
                        THAN I CAN SEE 

LIGHT 
IN THIS LIGHTHOUSE
SHINES BRIGHT
IN THE DARKNESS

WITHOUT 
LIGHT
THE SHIPS 
AT SEA
MAY JUST FLOUNDER 
AND SINK


WITH 
LIGHT
A SHIP 
CAN FIND ITS WAY
AND 
AIM FOR DEEPER WATERS 
OR 
AVOID 
THE ROCKS 



AT 88 YEARS OF AGE
I INTEND TO KEEP LETTING 
MY LIGHT SHINE FOR JESUS CHRIST 
MY LORD 
AND SAVIOUR
WHO 
IS 
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.



JESUS IS COMING SOON!

                                                 Walking in the darkness
                                 Or Traveling on the wide Seas
                                  I live in the light of that 
                                  Blessed Hope - The Glorious 
                                   Appearing of our  Great 
                                   God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

                                            Titus 2.11 -  14
                                 11.  For the grace of God that 
                                 bringeth salvation hath appeared
                                 to all men.
                                  12. Teaching us that, denying 
                                   ungodliness and worldly lusts, 
                                   we should live soberly, righteously,
                                   and godly in this present world:
                                  13. Looking for that blessed hope
                                    and the glorious appearing of 
                                     the great God and our Saviour 
                                     Jesus Christ;
                                  14. Who gave himself for us, 
                                   that he might redeem us from
                                    all iniquity, and purify unto 
                                    himself a peculiar (unique - 
                                     different)  people, zealous
                                      of good works.
                                     
                                  

As a flower blooms and displays 
its beauty
We are to flourish
shining our light 


My husband Henry was one 
man that let his light shine.

He was to me 
a LIGHTBEARER   
Psalm 25.4,5 
4. Show me thy ways, O LORD; 
teach me thy paths.
5. Lead me in thy truth,
and teach me: for thou
art the God of my 
salvation; on thee do I 
wait all the day. 



You might think of it this way.
A church building is just 
that. 
no more.
no less. 

a building is not
what God is about.
The people make a church. 
God wants people 
to know 
WHO HE IS 
and 
that 
HE HAS SENT JESUS

Jesus said of himself 
I am the way, the truth, 
and the life,
No man cometh 
to the Father but by me.
John  14.6  

A local church is a 
gathering of those people 
who have admitted they 
are sinners, and have 
come to God through the blood of 
Jesus Christ who died once 
for all
that we might
have 
everlasting life
that we might 
become 
the Sons of God
with all the 
legal rights
of the Son Jesus Christ
now their inheritance.
A Local Church 
is not the Building it meets in.

It is a Living Organization
in which Christ is the head 
the the members are the body.

For you see, Jesus is 
the Head of the Church
and He Alone
is the Author 
and 
the Finisher 
of our 
Faith.   
Jesus said 
I am the Light of the world: 
he that followeth me
shall not walk 
in darkness,
but shall have 
the light of Life.
John 8.12  


Psalm 18.28  
Thou wilt light my candle:
The LORD my God will 
enlighten 
my darkness.

Isaiah 50.10 
Who is among you that feareth
the LORD, that 
obeyeth the voice
of his servant,
that walketh in darkness,
and hath no light?
Let him trust in 
the name of the LORD, 
and stay upon his God.


GET PLUGGED IN TO THE SOURCE
AND THEN SHINE ! 

Matthew 5.16
Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your 
good works
and glorify your Father
which is in heaven.
 When Jesus was about to heal a
 blind man,
he said " As long as I am in 
the world, I am the light of the world." 
John 9,5 
He spat on the ground,
and made clay,
and anointed the man's eyes
with the clay.
He said, Go, wash in 
the pool of Siloam.

He had quite a walk.
It took a little time 
to get there. 
and he did waht Jesus said to do.

He came seeing.  
And asked who made him to see, 
He said, A man that is called Jesus 
made clay, and anointed mine eyes,
and said unto me,
Go wash in the Pool of Siloam.
And I went and washed, 
and I received sight.

They said unto him,
Where is he? 
He said,  I know not.
(John ch. 9 is where you 
can read for your self.)

After this man was cast out 
of the Temple, Jesus came 
and found him.
He asked him, "Dost thou 
believe on the Son of God? "
    The man said, 
Who is he, Lord? 
And Jesus said unto him, 
Thou hast seen him, 
and it is he that 
speaketh with the."
And he said, Lord, I believe.
And he worshipped him.
John 9.v 38 
And Jesus said, For judgment 
I am come into this world, 
that they which are blind 
might see, and that they which see 
might be made blind.


My husband and I together
served our Lord 
letting our light shine for Jesus 
many years.
In this blog, I hope to share
sermons and thoughts
from our life and ministry
which all point 
TO THE LIGHT

COME JOURNEY WITH ME

Romans 3.23 
All have sinned and come short of
the glory of God.

Romans 6.23 
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal 
life through Jesus Christ his son.  

John 3.3 
And Jesus answered and said, 
Verily, Verily
(Amen, Amen)
I say unto you,
except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God
It was Jesus speaking to
Nicodemus 
that said:   
(John 3.16)
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
THE WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM
SHOULD NOT PERISH,
BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. 
Jesus was either a liar 
or he was crazy 
or he was telling the truth.

In Matthew 4.13 - 16 
13. And leaving Nazareth, he came 
and dwelt in Capernaum, which is 
upon the sea coast, in the borders
of Zebulun and Nepthalim:
14. that it might be fulfilled 
which was spoken
 by Esaias the prophet, 
saying, 
15. The land of Zabulon, 
and the land of Nephthalim,
 by the way of the sea, 
beyond Jordan,
 Galilee of the Gentiles;
16. The people which sat in 
darkness saw great light,
and to them
which sat in the region 
and shadow of death light is 
spring up. 


ARE YOU WALKING
TOWARD THE LIGHT?

OR, 
ARE YOU 
HEADED 
TOWARD THE DARKNESS?  

Only God knows your heart.
Only God sees and knows. 
Only God has provided 
a provision 
for you 
to walk 
in the light.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO 
IS START BY 
FIRST 

1. agreeing you are 
a sinner, with a sin nature 
and a practice of sinning.

2. agree with God 
that you need to be have 
your sin nature 
and your sin past 
present 
and 
future 
washed and cleansed
and forgiven.

JESUS BLOOD IS 
ALL THAT IS NECESSARY.

John 1.19  Behold the Lamb of God 
which taketh away the sins of the world. 


What can wash away my sin?
nothing but the blood of Jesus. 
What can make me whole again? 
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! 
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow ! 
No other fount I know!
Nothing ! but the blood of Jesus!  



Psalm 119.105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet;
and a light 
unto my path."
