Be Reconciled

 The Bible says in I Corinthians 7:10-11

10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

It was 8.5 years ago that the Lord gave that verse to me, when I was baffled at His command to me. The Lord had told me to ask my Husband back for a second chance. I told the Lord He was crazy, I even asked Him "Do you remember Lord, what we went through?" Are you sure Lord!! I fought the Lord on this for about a week. And it was then that I was reading in I Corinthians that I came across this scripture. I gasped AAAAWWWWWppppp! Lord, you are asking me to do this. And I remember Him clearly saying "TRUST ME". So I began to walk by faith, and not by sight. It was then that I realized that God was really calling me back to my husband. We had been divorced for about 3 years, I was a baby Christian about 2.5 years old at the time. I had never heard the Lord speak to me, but only once before and that was the day I got baptized I was lost trying to get to the house to get baptized and I couldn't remember if it was left or right and He said left and I went left and I got there just fine.

God knew what He was doing, and this verse had confirmed it for me. I am soooo very very thankful that God gave me that command and that I obeyed. My marriage has been way better than the first and lasted way longer. I hope and pray that I can encourage just one marriage to not go through what we went through, it will all be worth it. All the pain, all the sorrow to encourage you to not do it. God hates divorce, I have scripture to prove it.



"I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel, "and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment," says the LORD Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith.

This is clear that God Hates divorce and he doesnt want us to seperate.

"So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
Matthew 19:6

If you are struggling in your marriage, DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE!  God knows exactly what you are going through and will see you through it. Have faith of a mustard seed.



He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew 17:20 NIV

God is soo good, He knows exactly what you need when you need it and will only give you what you can handle. If it seems impossible remember all things are possible with Him.


27 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
Mark 10:27

Mark 10:27 was my verse for our re-marriage. And it is so true, we are a living testimony to that. What I thought was impossible, God made possible.

On  April 13, we will be celebrating our 8 years of re-marriage. He has truely restored what the Locusts have eaten. Thank you Jesus!!

What is the Truth?


What is the truth?
Truth is not a feeling. Truth is not an idea. The truth is found in the Bible.Sincerity and good works do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a person (Heb. 9:22; John 14:6). Sincerity and good works are merely the reliance upon what is in the individual to merit favor with God. Sincerity is a form of pride when it is appealed to as a justification for being accepted by God: "But God, look at my heart. See how sincere I was? I deserve to be in heaven."No. If sincerity and good works were good enough to satisfy God, then He wouldn't have given us the Bible to correct our sincerely wrong ideas, and He wouldn't have sent His Son to do what our good works cannot.Truth is what God says is true.The truth is important not because it is simply true. It is important because truth is what defines who and what we believe in.Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Especially about Jesus.

What me and my Family Believe

WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be spiritual! Therefore we remain flexible so the Holy Spirit may direct our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be inspirational! Therefore we give a great place to music in our worship.
WE BELIEVE the worship of God should be intelligent! Therefore, in our services, we emphasize Bible teaching so God may instruct us how He would be worshipped.

How To Know God

How to Know God

Realize that you are a sinner. No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. We all fall short of God’s desire for us to be holy. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one” (Romans 3:10 NLT). This is because we cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.The Bible tells us, “But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.Repent of your sin.The Bible tells us to “repent and be converted” (Acts 3:19 NKJV). The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.Receive Jesus Christ into your life.Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church on Sunday. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your life) and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in...” (Revelation 3:20 NKJV).

If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart.

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.If you just prayed that prayer and meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Your decision to follow Christ means God has forgiven you and that you will spend eternity in heaven.

The Bible tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV).

Praise the Lord, if you just asked Jesus in your heart I want you to know that the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing for you and so am I. Go to http://www.calvarychapel.com/?show=Churches and click on churches to find the closest church to you and go. Go and tell them that you've just accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart. They will be able to lead you to the next step.

God Bless you Brethren.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! Amen!!!
Your sister in Christ Jesus!!!
