The reason we celebrate

A wish for the Merriest Christmas to all--may love abound for each and every one of us. May we all be blessed to be with family, friends, and those that love us and we them. To my loved ones and friends, each and every one of you reading this, all the very best this Christmas.

The blessing of Salvation is as well my wish for all I am connected too/with. Not because I believe my beliefs are superior, but because I believe in the Love of GOD. It is our Lord & Savior's Birth we celebrate today--we celebrate it not merely for tradition or gifts we shall receive. We more importantly celebrate so that we also remember His sacrifice and Love, and as well, so that we remember to share that Love--daily--with family, friends and our fellow human-beings--regardless of our religious beliefs if we have any.

Thank you Lord Jesus...

Merry Christmas everyone...

A friend of mine said to me...

A friend of mine--Deborah Roscoe, said to me, "One of the problems people have is that they look to the people they sow into for their harvest. The Bible says we reap what we sow, not necessarily from who we sow into. We are to look to GOD for our harvest. As well when we look to people for our harvest, we limit our harvest because people can only give what they have, and or want to give."

The Bible says, "We are transformed by a renewing of our minds." Let us be transformed by our mental renewing and subsequent conduct change. Let us stop looking to others to do for us what GOD will, and or desires to do and as well limiting the blessings HE desires to give us .

Seek GOD Always and be blessed

A poem about FAITH

Faith

A poem about

Faith

Hope for better, hope for deliverance, hope that God approves and that the struggle and struggles are HIS will, and thus have purpose if nothing but to refine and strengthen me

At times the acknowledgement that if I don’t persevere and endure, the sin I commit may be the last thing I do and the scale be tipped in the sad favor of eternity in hell

Faith

HE has on many occasions shown me, spoke to my Spirit, mind and heart and used others to confirm and affirm HIS will when I was in doubt… as well tell me HIS will for correction I needed to take

Faith

HE does not as well promise it will always be roses…it was not for JESUS—GOD in the flesh—nor was it for Paul, nor for any Disciple/Apostle and thus no it is not HIS fault when things are bad and or are not to my liking..it may be HIS “passive will” that HE allows these things to occur, but this too is for a reason and that is to draw me closer to HIM

Faith

Hope for a better tomorrow and at times a fear of hell, and as well the acknowledgement that the Bible, the inerrant word of GOD Himself, states @ Hebrews 11 that “…faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen…”

I interpret this as we don’t always have the answers, 

but GOD does

We don’t always know the way, 

but GOD does

We don’t always possess the strength and or knowledge, 

but GOD can and will empower us

So as challenging as it may be at times, we must accept that it deduces to our faith must stay in HIM for HE truly “…is the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)

Faith

'"...the furtherance of the desecration..."

The voting down of D.O.M.A. is truly the furtherance of the desecration of a GOD given institution--for that is what Marriage is, a GOD GIVEN INSTITUTION, to be defined and structured by HIM and HIM alone as HE did. Society and the NOT really Supreme Court--as GOD is THE SUPREME JUDGE--are and will continue to force upon us these immoral attitudes/opinions, going forward. 

They are and have been doing the same with the Institution of Worship as well. It was prophesied to come to this--we are in troubling times and they and it, shall only get worse.

We, who are, "True Bible adhering to Christians" should truly be looking to the Heavens and praying to GOD for society and for protection from persecution until the Rapture.  Because we cannot save one soul who chooses to be "...of this world," and it is REALLY going to get worse in this modern day Sodom and Gomorrah-- identical, not like, identical--society in which we exist.

We must literally become like Enoch, and hope we may be translated--or again pray and wait with anxious anticipation for the Rapture.

I am Shaun Damon Hagler, and I approve this message....lololol. 

Really not a funny issue, but I just couldn't resist....good day and GOD-speed all.

"Life is far more like Chess than it is Checkers, and sadly most people are playing Jacks."

"Life is far more like Chess than it is Checkers, and sadly most people are playing Jacks."

Let us get right Spiritually with GOD first, so that we may be righteous and operate properly--our Spiritual condition impacts our mental condition which impacts or emotional condition, and thus dictates what we can and or cannot handle.

Many of us desire, but are not "equipped" Spiritually and thus mentally and emotionally for the type of relationship with another we cry and scream out for so much. We will not find solace, joy, or peace in a relationship if we and the other participant are not Spiritually mature yet--put garbage in it, you get garbage out of it.

That is the case with any relationship--with GOD or another human being.      

The flesh craves pleasure and sin, though it never fully acknowledges, nor desires to pay the cost

   The flesh craves pleasure and sin, though it never fully acknowledges, nor desires to pay the cost—in the present and assuredly not in the future.

     It rationalizes, “Oh just this once can’t hurt,” or “Just one more time and then I shall quit _____ forever,” or “I deserve this,” or “Everyone else is doing it, it is not fair that I should be deprived.”

     When we are battling it, our flesh will tell us a multitude of things to encourage us to succumb to temptation, but doing so will never fulfill us, as it will never give us that which we should desire, that being fullness in GOD through obedience to HIS will.

     The cost of blessings: those being Spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental in the present—

·        Spiritually as oneness with GOD through the inner dwelling of The Holy Spirit within us is directly impacted by sin. HIS enlightening, encouraging, strengthening and growing us in Spiritual Maturity is hindered by sin.

·        Physically by GOD blessing us with health, as well by avoiding the negative consequences of said sins inflicting diseases and harm upon our physical bodies—as our bodies are temples to our Holy GOD.

·        Emotionally through the GODLY sustained peace and joy we experience by living lives of righteousness.

·        Mentally the  blessing of peace of mind, the peace of mind knowing that GOD, our Heavenly Father is pleased with us.

     Moreover, the eternal cost of dwelling in Heaven as the alternative is eternity in hell.
