    If God has prospered you, enjoy it. Share it. No horns or pitchfork. God says he comes as an angel of light. He is not obvious to people who easily deceived.------------------God is the ONLY one who knows what youre thinking, how you have struggled and what your going thru. He loves you passionately and wants to be your BFF. He has a super deluxe custom-made plan for your life that’s beyond anything you ever dreamed of. ---------------------------- BUT He waits for us to ask. Invite Him into your heart; ask Him to take over your life and your problems. You will feel so much better. You are His special masterpiece. He planned for you before He even created the universe. ---------------------------- Watch Him ease the stress and give you peace instead. He is on YOUR side. He never stops thinking about you. His thoughts toward you are more than the grains of sand on the beach (Psalm 139). --------------------------- Find a big happy church, attend some groups there and have fun. Talk with the pastor/minister or youth pastor/leader.. They have more wisdom than you and I. And where else can you get FREE counseling? ------------------------- Troubled people need peace; a good pastor can show you how to have perfect peace. God loves you more than you can possibly imagine :)--------- You will feel so much better. You are His special masterpiece. He planned for you before He even created the universe. ------------------------ Watch Him ease the stress and give you peace in it's place. He is on YOUR side. He never stops thinking about you. His thoughts toward you are more than the grains of sand on the beach (Psalm 139). He loves you more than you can possibly imagine! ------------------------- Find a big happy church and join some groups. Get a bible that’s easy to read (New King James is good) and read it every day. Find Christian support groups. Watch Christian programs like Joel Osteen, 700 Club, Daystar, TBN TV. Read Christian books, watch Christian DVDs. All the above and churches also have wonderful counselors that can help you. There's so much fascinating information to learn. ------------------------

    Jesus loves you more than you can possibly imagine. You’ll have fun and the rest of your life will be the very best of your life. Since the bible is the best-selling book of all time, nobody can claim to have even a basic education without having read and studied it. I hope this helps; it sure made a huge difference for me :)------------------------

    They who seek The Lord shall not lack any good thing. Ps. 34:10 Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Ps 37:4-6 Pour out your heart to Him (Ps 62:8)-------------------

    Nothing you say will shock or surprise God. Cast all your anxiety/stress on Him --He cares for YOU :) 1 Pet 5:7 "No one has seen, heard or even imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love Him." 1 cor 2:9 WOW!

    I call it "Jesus for money"

    because basically it teaches "If you believe in Jesus you'll become rich"

    and I reject it wholeheartedly.

    There time will end soon...... this is a preview of what is coming..

    There are dark times ahead, Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

    The coming time is darker than most are aware and they will get even darker when the 'Tribulation'

    period described in the bible starts.

    Obadiah 1:15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.

    That time is a seven year 'Tribulation' period when the Anti-Christ rules the one-world government.

    It starts with the Rapture (when Jesus takes His believers to heaven) and ends at the Second coming of Jesus Christ seven years later. Most of the wicked and many unbelievers will be judged during this time. However, many others will be saved and go to heaven, except now they will have to forfeit their life to be saved. The Bible says that the seven year tribulation period is so bad that men will faint in horror at the things coming upon the earth. World leaders will be confused and it won’t be until shortly after the seals are broken that the people on earth realize that the wrath of God has been poured out as promised by the Bible. The men on earth will try to escape but there will be no refuge. It will be so bad that men will seek that the stones fall on them in order to hide them from the one who sits on the throne in Heaven. This is a dramatic account of the tribulation period. The purpose of the tribulation period is to punish unrepentant sinners and to call Israel to redemption through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, it will take over two-thirds of the world’s population to perish before the tribulation period will end. Yet when the tribulation period ends it will result in the redemption and regeneration of the Jewish people.
