FoTE Note

"Blested or Tested"

Remember, Beloved, the LORD is over ALL - or else He is over NOTHING - in our lives. 

He is either protecting us from unseen things, or trying to reach us - and teach us - something. We are always   being either “blested” or tested!  

The LORD constantly tests His people, on what He has just taught us...to see if we truly learned in our hearts - or if we are just giving Him lip service.  

He already knows everything, so testing is not for His benefit - it is for our own: to prove to us what is really in our hearts! 

On the mountain, Jesus would teach the disciples ...but as soon as they went down, they forgot everything He said!   You know, Beloved .. our flesh-man or flesh-woman doesn't want anyone to tell us anything! 

But The LORD detests know-it-alls. They are stiff-necked, self-centered and arrogant.  Take some time to ponder this.  Are you being blested  ..or tested?

L. Army Veteran Garrett Anderson was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) while serving in Iraq. I received his photo from my friends at DAV, and he inspired this whole tale! God bless you Garrett!  Thank you for your service and sacrifice!

Part 1

There was a Crooked Man 
by Rhonda S. Galizia 
for Garrett..


I stopped to see,
when I heard him
cry above the sound
of traffic.

He seemed old…
and bent over a bit,
creating a crookedness
in his back.

His eyes were faded
and terribly weary
from the obvious
burden, he carried.

"Can I help you?" I bent down,
peered into his muddy eyes
waiting for a hint
of acknowledgement.

They were lifeless eyes
except for the tears
that they swam in
for those surreal moments.

"How can I help you?"
I tried again,
hoping his ears absorbed
the sound of my voice.

His strangely-pocked hand
was clenching a crooked tree branch,
creating white knuckles 
in sallow flesh.

"Sir?" I raised the volume
uncertainly...
until I espied a small device
in his left ear.

Nothing.
this was a silent move-ie 
playing, without move-ment,
without life.

I made an offering then:
a prayer, on his behalf
asking the Lord my God
to give me, understanding.

I splayed my warm-fingered glove
over his cold and calloused hand
looking him in 
the eye, again.

Something flickered
a recognition?
a premonition?
a fear?

Slowly, he seemed
to unfold
his wiry-thin body
from the crooked staff.

Immediately causing
me, to reflect
upon the climbing star ivy
clutching the side of my house.

Suddenly, he stood
to full height; he towered
6" over me, and though he
was not straight, he was tall.

His lower lip trembled
across scattered, discolored 
teeth, anticipating an answer
to "Sarah?"

Immediately, I understood
the Lord wanted me to
speak as she!
"Yes! Yes, it's Sarah..."

"Sarah..."
he spoke with his face;
Brow line furrowed, suspicious eyes
ears straining, to hear her sound.

Involuntarily
I was embracing him
repeating, ''Yes, yes - it's Sarah!"
and I'd begun, weeping myself.

As he pulled his other hand
from the depth
of a patched camouflage pocket
in an attempt to remove me,

I backed up
 about 3 feet,
the sound of a blaring horn
causing me to jump.


Part 2

I had utterly forgotten
I was on a downtown sidewalk
of an American-made
metropolis!

"Sarah...?" he pleaded
and the pitiful sounds
 of the City, once again
 conceded, to this crooked man.

This time I answered
by nodding fervently, instead,
remembering the hearing aid
and missing piece of his ear.

It worked!  My heart lurched
as a painful “smile” slowly
developed new lines
across his time-worn face.

It was a fine face, really
just rough-hewn
from hidden combat
and shaggy, from deprivation.

He gestured with both hands
as if to say 'I had given up'
I gasped, and though he did not hear,
he perceived it.

Jesus, help me! my spirit cried
his left hand...and arm
missing!  gone!...
altogether, non-existent.

I rushed to him, and lovingly
took up the precious metal 
which protruded from his cuff,
cupping it, in my own hands.

He recoiled in fear
and shame,
finally settling
on doubt.

"Why, you are a Veteran - 
a Hero!...aren't you, Sir?
A brave and loyal
Countryman!"

Heavy, solemn tears
fell onto his prosthesis
as I sobbed out my own
eternal gratitude.

He grew stiff
like the pine caskets
marched by us in
the news, every day.

"Why can't they see?
Why?" I shouted
to him, to myself,
to the world at large.

Suddenly, two police officers
were asking me
"Is everything all right here, Ma'am?
Is he bothering you?"

"No, no!  
Everything is NOT all right..
and no, Sir - this man
has never bothered me!"

The officer raised a brow
making a determination;
Direct me, Lord, I prayed, realizing someone
 had to answer for this commotion...

"Sir?" he addressed the crooked man
"Do you have $35.00 on your person?"
the crooked man must have read his lips,
using his good hand to turn out his pockets.

"C'mon then, Buddy," he sighed, "I'll have to
run you in again...vagrancy charge."
Reticently, each of the officers
took an elbow, one steel.

They began to quickly
lead him away, looking very
 much like Bookends of the Law
 guarding a priceless tome.

“No, please!  Wait, Officers!”
I caught up, breathless
"Here!"  I shoved $35.00 to
the one in charge.

"Ma'am...........please."
"But Officer, you don't understand;
my name is Sarah, and
I just found him again!"

"He is my, uh, long-lost
BROTHER!!!  Yes,
and he is a wounded
Soldier - a Hero!"

"I... I have come to
take him home, Sir,
where he can begin
to heal."

Part 3

The officer raised 
a knit brow,
a knowing brow, but...
"So, you say he's your BROTHER, eh?"

"Yes, Sir, Officer, ”I breathed.
“My Brother in Christ…
and I was sent to gather
him, back into the fold."

Now, the officer 
dropped his head
and removed his hat
"I’ve lost brothers, too."

I hugged him.
"Yes, Sir.  We have a shared
crisis in America, Sir..
The loss of Brotherhood."

"There is lawlessness in our streets;
those who fight evil
are called, evil,
and the evil, are called good."

"America has become 
a perverse nation;
ALL our true heroes are met
with disdain."

"Lady, you said a mouthful!

The powers-that-be
have nearly removed 
all, lawful authority....

And we are now
quite nearly,
working for 
the enemy."

"And that is EXACTLY WHY, Sir
I have come for my brother:
we must begin to turn
this around, one life at a time."

"Okay, Sister...you win." he winked
at me, with understanding….and approval.
"Go ahead then, and take
 your BROTHER home!"

"God bless you, Sir!"
I hugged him again,
 wondering........ if they 
were City Cops,

Or, heavenly angels
sent to assist me 
in the mission He
had set, before me.

I prayed aloud,
"Thank You, Lord
for Your First Line
of Defense on earth."

They smiled. Policemen
or heavenly angels;
in truth, it was
the same difference.

The crooked man
was watching it all
play out, but had never
ushered a sound.

I wasn't sure
he understood
the full implication
of what I'd told the officer.

The other officer now touched
the tip of his cap
"Ma'am, " he nodded, and kindly
 patted the crooked man's shoulder.

What story would they tell?
I wondered, then remembered 
'How lovely are the feet
of those, who bring Good News.'

"Sarah?"
my heart sang
as I stood with my nose
against his ragged breast.

"Yes.... BROTHER?"

FoTE NOTE

IN THE BEGINNING 
ALL THINGS WERE
 CREATED BY GOD 
AND FOR GOD.  
WHEN IT WAS FINISHED
GOD SAID IT WAS GOOD, 
AND PLACED IT UNDER
 MAN'S DOMINION..  TO ENJOY.

Proverbs 15:16 states,
 "Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil."

1 Timothy 6:6 says,
 "But godliness with contentment 
is great gain." 


SINS OF
JEALOUSY, [why you, and not me?  It's not fair!] 

COVETOUSNESS [I want what you have and I am willing to do anything to take it from you, 
for myself!] 

ENVY [malicious grudging; rivalry; How dare you have something I can't have!] 

STRIFE [living under constant war-like conditions; Don't YOU ever tell ME what I can and cannot have!] 

These 4 sins will destroy  your peace and rob you of your spiritual contentment.

ASK the LORD
to search your heart 
and reveal any 
evil ways
in you.

Then, repent and keep your eyes [focus] on  Jesus. 
 He will keep your hearts and minds in His perfect peace!

AIN'T I ..   ANTI..  AMERICAN?














He that is not with Me

Can You?















Can you
 walk through 
A graveyard
Without finding
 A Soldier’s stone?

Can you 
Fight a world-
wide battle
And do it
All alone?

Can you 
please explain to me
Why some of 
`the people’
 rage and roar
When they are not
 even the ones
Fighting and volunteering for 

Service to 
GOD Almighty
And Service 
to Mankind?

I think not!

So mind your own  businesses
And tend to your own  stores
But do NOT call upon our troops
To come, defend 
your  shores!

For as surely as 
the LORD liveth
That day is soon 
to appear
And when 
only you
 are left,
 all bereft
Maybe then
you’ll re-think 
your "fear".

LORD, You are God.. Who by the mouth of Your servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine 
vain things? 
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD, and against His Christ.
   Acts 4: 24-26

FORGIVENESS
 DEMANDS A 
 CHANGE OF 
CONDUCT!


"TO FORGIVE WITHOUT DEMANDING A CHANGE OF CONDUCT, IS TO MAKE THE GRACE OF GOD AN ACCOMPLICE TO EVIL!"

PASTOR JOHN HAGEE


Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
Jesus looked up and said, Woman, where are thine accusers?
Has no one condemned you?  No one, LORD.
Neither do I condemn you; Go, and sin no more!
St. John 8:10-11

The words of Pastor Hagee are the best I've ever heard, in describing what it is to carelessly forgive.

Too frequently Christians are bullied into believing they must forgive at all costs.  Especially, these days, when every sort of evil is being played across your mind via television and the internet.  We are forced to believe, that we must endorse the rights of the violators, equal to those of the victim.   But I say, Political Correctness is Moral Corruption!

What does the Bible say?

Do we not have to ASK the LORD for forgiveness to receive it?  Do we not FIRST, have to HUMBLY BOW and ACKNOWLEDGE our sin/wrong-doing, and  truly believe in our hearts that we never want to repeat this action or behavior, or think those ugly thoughts or speak those hasty or demeaning words again?  

And then what?  IF WE ARE SINCERE, Jesus forgives us, but warns us to go, and sin no more!

Do not grant forgiveness lightly, Beloved.  Jesus didn't accept the cruel death by crucifixion for our sins, transgressions and iniquities, just so that we would forgive any and every one, and any and every thing.  You must ask the Holy Spirit for discernment, so you can tell the difference between a true acknowledgement, and just a passing regret:
I'M SORRY I GOT CAUGHT!

Genuine forgiveness cannot be earned, only accessed by His Blood,
 and accepted from 
JESUS THE CHRIST
who died ..in order to give it to US!

"Do not throw the pearls of your forgiveness
 before the swine of 
the unrepentant."

Then Call on Jesus @ Acts 16:31  

Jesus warned us in 
St. Matthew 24:37 
"But as the days of Noah wereso shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."

THE SCRIPTURE BELOW IS TAKEN
 FROM NOAH'S ACTUAL DAYS:

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every 
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth.But Noah found grace in the eyes 
of the LORD.

Genesis 6:5
++++++++

WE ARE LIVING IN THOSE DAYS AGAIN, BELOVED!

THE COMING OF THE 
SON OF MAN 
IS IMMINENT!

I PLEAD WITH YOU.. 
DO NOT DEFER FROM IT! 

 REPENT OF 
ANY SINS OR
 NEGLIGENT WAYS WITH WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING YOUR LIFE -
 AND CONFESS 
THE SAME
TO YOUR
MAKER!

 THEN
 CHANGE 
YOUR WAYS..

NOAH LIVED 
UPRIGHTLY 
AND FOUND GRACE 
IN THE EYES 
OF GOD..

BELOVED, SO CAN YOU!

In His Love, 
Rev. Rhonda

Thank You, Beloved, for another wonderful year!  We are looking forward to sharing 2023 with many more nations dropping in!  Glory to GOD!!!   With everything the way it is in our world, I pray to GOD you are preparing yourself for the great Gathering Out!  The only "ticket" is to be genuinely saved = re-born in your Spirit man or woman, through Jesus Christ- and then, being baptized into the Holy Spirit.  After all, "Rapture" is a Supernatural Event.. so it will take His Supernatural power to lift us into the clouds to be with the LORD forevermore!
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father (Holy Spirit) upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.   
 -  Lord Jesus, St. Luke 24:49

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, 
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,
 and so we shall always be with the Lord.…
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

The more knowledge we glean from the Word of GOD, the easier it becomes to get free from the snares we find ourselves in.  Often, they are self-inflicted, but we don't even know it - until we can grasp the Truth that has the power to set us free!  This page is intended to help you find your way to Godly freedom, that comes only through knowing Christ and His written Word.  
But remember, Beloved, it is not merely in the accepting of Christ as our Saviour, but in the OBEYING of the Truth we find, that we are set free - and stay free!  
Happy understanding, Beloved!  ~ In His Love, Rev. Rhonda

Cheating Heart

It is written the LORD despises Lip Service
For it is not from the heart, but the head
And it is not until 
He lets us be tested
That we see the lies
in what we have said.

Considering that we 
are to serve Him Alone
And Him Alone do we worship and adore;
Yet these flimsy strings
 of empty words
Are the proof.. of a heart, Impure.

The Value of Knowledge

Faith comes by hearing 
and hearing by
the Word of GOD.

FAITH = 
BELIEF AND TRUST;
BELIEF THAT SOMETHING CAN HAPPEN and
TRUST, THAT IT WILL!

FAITH is TRUST in someone or something
Created by our knowledge of said person or thing.

Most people know their friends.. and trust them.

Do you know Jesus?
Are you counted
 as one of His friends? 
 Do you trust in Him?

From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his Lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father,
 I have made known to you.  ~ St. John 15:15

 Say, Beloved!   Do you  ever find yourself missing..

LIVING DESOLATION

Look through any window; 
what do you see?
A woman seeking love,
 most desperately.
She hides more secrets than you shall ever touch
With your tender words and loving hearts,

Though you reach her very much.

And I know you wish 
that you could be
The very unique 
and special key
To unlock the doors 
and set her free

From her past... and all it has done to harm her.

But the mysteries you would encounter
When searching her face,
You would first enjoy,
 soon destroy,
Then put back into place.

For a damaged whole
 is better than..
an untouched half.

She cannot see you; 
she has no eyes.
She cannot touch you; 
she is paralyzed.
She cannot hear you; 
her ears are gone.
She cannot speak;
 she has no tongue.

None... is strong enough,
 to make the journey
 and endure,
Save... The One
The Provider, 
of what she
has been searching for

True Love.

“He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, 
and brake their bands asunder.”
  Psalm 107:14

Your Father's Love


His longing

is one that
hasn't yet
been met.

But it's true
if you, will
only reveal
The Christ
in you, he'll
never forget.

Then, one by
one, the orphaned
sons, who have
suffered long
enough.

Will begin to
heal, and later
reveal, what
they, too, found
in YOUR
Father's love.

IN THE WAY


The child’s hand was tiny
The mother’s hand was firm
“Come, let us explore together,
For you have much to learn.”

The toddler smiled with open glee
As his mother led the way
“Now, where do you think, my darling child
That we should walk today?”

The child pointed toward the forest
That surrounded their sprawling lawn
“Okay, my dear, the forest it is -
Let’s go get your old shoes on!”

They walked along the sidewalk
And climbed onto the stairs
“Up you go now!” the mother cried with delight
As she lifted him into the air.

The little boy giggled as he landed
Upon a wicker chair
“You stay right here whilst I go in -
And grab your other pair!”

The child nodded his understanding
And the mother knew she must
Leave him there for just a flash
So he would learn to trust.

“Here we go then!” she showed her joy
As she returned outside
For there, sat still, her tiny one
And she was filled with pride.

“Oh, what a good boy you are
To listen to your mum!"
She gave him a squeeze and some kisses
As she began to hum.

“What are you singing, Mama?”
His little face was intense
“ ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’, dear!”
She replied as they approached the fence.

They entered the cool clean forest
When it was just after two
“So what shall we seek today, my Son?
I leave that up to you!”

“A BEAR!” he cried and clapped his hands
“A BEAR?” she mimicked with feigned fright
“Yes... oh please, Mama!” he asked with big eyes
And that, won her heart, at first sight.

Hand-in-hand they stumbled happily along
The winding and well-trodden path
The child gathered dirt and rocks for his Daddy
As Mommy cooed, “Ooh, stinky you, will really need a bath!”

The little boy stopped to rescue a bug
That scampered under a log
Then into his pocket he shoved the thing
And later, a wee tree frog!

Mama dreaded having to wash this particular pair of pants
Yet she knew he needed to learn some things for himself
So for today, “seeing but not touching” was out of the question
On another day, they would examine the contents of a shelf...

One inside the little grocery store
Where his Daddy went to work
For there, he must not handle the goods
Lest he should ire the clerk!

Most every day she offered
 A new lesson to her child
For she wanted him raised a Godly man
Not crude, or unruly, and wild.

On the weekends the whole family shared
In the places they would go
Though sometimes his mama wisely realized
She had to let only her two “men” go.

On LORD’s Day they all dressed-up fine
Then walked to the church in the glen
Through the mighty rows of towering oaks
And the ashy, “trembling” aspens.

His daddy would always comment
“My, but they are quaking this morn!"
Then he’d reference the fear of the LORD
And the importance of being re-born.

The little boy did not know why
But somehow he understood
So he was always in awe, just knowing that GOD
Was there, inside of them, and walking in the woods!

The clonal aspens stood like a bastion of soldiers
Among royal pines which emitted a heady scent
Ofttimes the squirrels scampered among the trees -
Yes, the forest was alive, no matter where they went!

When his daddy got home from work at night
He was always quite tired and spent
Yet he never ceased to inquire of him
As to where he, and his mother, went.

The boy loved describing his outings
As his daddy nodded and smiled
Because the love in his eyes was gleaming
And it filled the heart of his child!

Then right before bed his daddy gathered him close
And called out aloud for his mother
To come join them in hearing those certain Bible stories
That can only be told by a father!

Well folks, those precious years escaped
Like aroma from a steaming cup
And quite suddenly it happened -
That the lad was all grown-up!

When high school was over
And college was done
He met a few girls
And then, married one..

Who was very much like his mother
And who loved the forest, too -
Because more than anything else he wanted
For his children to be able to do..

The same kind of explorations he had known
Throughout all those early years
A different adventure nearly every day!
Now his eyes filled again with tears

For the lad was now a preacher man
Who had just laid his father to rest.
And he still thanked the good LORD every day
For having given him the Best.

"I promise to take good care of Mom," he vowed
To his Dad, standing over his grave
"For she is the very one who taught me early on
That I must always be brave.."

"But right now I'm finding that hard to do, Sir
Because Dad, your courage and strength were Divine
So while you're looking down from Heaven on us now
Please say a prayer for me..  to find mine."

“But yes, whatever it takes, dear LORD
I commit to You this day

- To whatever I must do
To become a Father like You -

That I will teach my own children
Even as they ..  are walking in the way.”

 LIES
 COMMONLY BELIEVED 
BY THE ABUSED



- It's all my fault;
 I brought this on myself; 
I shouldn't have upset him/her.

 - They [abuser/s] can't help it; they don't mean to hurt me/us.

- I'm sure it will end real soon
...if I behave better.

- I'm not worth much anyhow.

- If I can just love them better
they will stop hurting me.

- It's not that bad. .really.

- Nobody's cares enough to help me anyhow.

- It can't get any worse;
the worst is already over;
It'll be all right...really.
 ​
- This is normal; it happens 
in EVERY family.

- I can't survive on my own anyhow.

- I have no money TO get away - even if I could.



NOW HEAR THIS!
Any Relationship you have
should be
SAFE
SECURE
CHRIST-CENTERED
because Father GOD does care what happens to you!

But YOU must care, too,
and make GOOD CHOICES
so He can help you!

Father GOD created YOU 
with a free will - and He does not interfere with our choices.

Therefore, we must ALL live with the consequences of the things we choose!

If you continue to keep it secret, 
in darkness -
hidden from public knowledge
you are actually giving control 
to the one who is abusing you!

You are hindering your own rescue!

If there are children involved
that evil spirit will most likely
attach itself to them also
and infect the next generation.

It will NEVER get better
until YOU admit to YOURSELF that it IS ABUSE.

It will NEVER get better
until you tell someone!

And you will NEVER 
be delivered and made whole
until you ACKNOWLEDGE IT
BEFORE THE LORD.

​The LORD is my strength 
and my song; 
He has become my victory!

ABSENCE OF HEART​


When the heart changes

The mouth follows

Words become weapons

Spears and swords

To slash into ribbons

The very heart and psyche

Of the one you vowed

To love forever.

FATHER GOD said,
I will never leave
Or forsake
You.

Leaving is Absence
 of  Presence

Forsaking is Absence

With Mankind, it is
If a man or woman

Blessed are those

Whenever I meditate

Upon what is Good

And is Lovely,

Always return

To You.


You are the 

Perfect Valentine

Perfect for Me.


I Love You

Think upon these things.

My heart still takes wing!
Happy 30th Valentine's Day!

This is my homemade Valentine for my 
Husband Joe this year..

but you can easily see..
it could have been sent
to Jesus.

Ladies, love your husbands
as you love the LORD!

Men, love your wives 
as Christ loves the church:
Sacrificially.

And soon you both will be
getting Valentines
like this, too!



For where your treasure is,
THERE
your heart will be.. also.

The saints of GOD must come to the knowledge of
 Jesus Christ.

Holy Spirit has brought them to the saving-grace   (Salvation) of Christ, but
They must also come to the knowledge of Him - found only in The Word!


For the grace of God

MOTHER LOVE​

The Mother grinned
And borne the pain
For her laboring
Was not in vain

Anon was born
A beautiful child
Tho' covered in blood
Mother still smiled

The mother loved
The mother soothed
The mother prayed
The mother knew..

Hardships would come
As years would pass
But Mother Dear
Would hold on fast

To the Word of God -
The Anchor
of her soul.

Fix these words of Mine in your hearts and minds;

Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home

But for Nought

So here I am
I muddled through
Another day -
But not 
Without You.

My body aches
My brain, it's true
The sun's a harsh mistress -
But only
Without You.

Breathing was labored
Yet each breath I drew
I took without thinking -
But not
Without You. 

Nothing in my life changes
Nothing is new
It already happened before me -
But not
Without You.

Only these thorns
Will remain, it is true
And the Blood to remind me -
Life would be for nought
Without You.

I love You, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY
And how fervently I Thank You  
For the safe passage through
Another day that would be nothing
Except 
For You.

According to Jeremiah 33:3
Calling upon His name: Jesus Christ my Saviour

...show me great and mighty things, the hidden things of Your kingdom., according to Your Word..


"Rarely do humans realize that the hardships and catastrophes are to mold them - into the vessel I created them to be.

Otherwise, how will they sense the purpose for which they are created?

The Secret? 
Giving thanks in ALL things!"


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I teach all who have an ear to hear, to pray to a different name of the LORD every night, according to Jeremiah 33:3.
 It can be names of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Ghost.

He is not a mere man that He should lie, or the son of a mere man that He should change His mind!

He will answer you in dreams and visions and images which He will drop into your mind and spirit.  He will also speak to your heart with personal answers.  GOD is Spirit, Beloved..  Therefore, His Voice IS audible within your spirit!

Spend quiet time with the LORD every day, Beloved.  Be prepared by having your Bible and a notebook to journal in.  Be silent before Him..
I promise you, if you are genuinely seeking His presence, then you will know the fulfillment of the Scripture St. James 4:8 which states:

"DRAW NIGH [NEAR] UNTO THE LORD, AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH UNTO YOU!"
                              In His Love, Rev. Rhonda




Father GOD,





I fervently seek
 a heart of pure love
for the lost,
because my life 
is worthless
unless I use it
to do the work
You have assigned
to me: the task
of telling others
the Good News
about Your
wonderful kindness
and unconditional love..
in that, while we
were still sinners,
even so, You sent us
Jesus the Christ -
the eternal Son of GOD 
 and 
the Son of Mankind -
Who was
 conceived in a Virgin
through Your Holy Spirit
and in due season,
was brought forth
in human form,
into the Human's world!

Thank You, Father GOD,
that Your Son Jesus
lived and grew
and walked
among us
and taught us  
- as one of us -
because His task 
as the sinless
Son of GOD
was to go to Calvary
to bear all the sins
 of all mankind
all at one time
so Mankind might 
be forgiven
of all our filthy living
and be set free
by His Shed Blood!

Never let me 
take that for granted
Father GOD.

Our Salvation is 
a Priceless Gift..
that cost Jesus
everything.

Forgive us 
when we take
lightly
Christ's sacrificing
of HImself
on that Cross 
to assure us 
"It is finished!"


Thank You, Father GOD
for our eternal life
to be spent with Jesus..
and You, Father GOD,
and Your Holy 
Resurrected Spirit,
Who currently lives
in us.

Oh, the wonder
of it all,
Amen!

PERFIDIOUS


The LORD has been through our valley
The LORD has already thrashed, and
The LORD has already separated 
The wheat from the chaff.

The LORD has patiently warned them,
Decade after decade, Time and again
But the Children, still, are not listening.
They only want to play;
To have things Their way,
And now, it's too late.

The LORD even sent His Latter-Day prophets
And just like the prophets in the Past,
These prophets were slain at the altars, too
But these were slain 
With murderous comments.

"PERFIDIOUS,"whispered my LORD, "PERFIDIOUS!"

EXTINCT







As the earth groans and travails,in the birth pains of a New World Order,
We are drawn to its Center - against our will -
And sucked down, like so much quicksand.. to become extinct.

- For there walks among us a Double-Minded Man  -

An angelic mask - with sardonic grin
To cleverly disguise the evil within.
Sly, melodic words which twist and deceive
A vulnerable Nation who needs to believe.

Be ye not seduced! by his facades and guises -
Rather, represent HE, whom The World despises!
Violate not! your integrity - 'for the sake of Peace'
For comes now the false Prophet.. and Ravenous Beast!

Alas, My Brethren, Battle lines are firmly drawn;
Exhort now the Others, to see their Armor's worn!
Through Rivers of Blood, o'er Defiled & Desecrated Ground,
Until, anon, we meet anew - when Seven Trumpets sound!

May GOD speed our fates, finding us Worthy
For a Soldier's Spirit rests in Sovereign Hands.
Yea! 'tis better to die  -  and live eterne!
Than to fall from Grace, extinct.. like Unsaved Man.

To The Very Last Drop

The cupboard was 
very nearly bare..
But, what?
Was that, lying there!

Her hands trembled
As she lifted
The corner
Of the napkin
And peeked, eyes
 open wide..

Oh me, oh my
to her great surprise
The napkin concealed
a slice of bread
inside!

She carefully
gathered it
onto a small dish
examining it
for mold.

And after 
turning 
it over
again and
again
she lifted it 
up, crying
Behold!

Now she 
placed it into
the toaster
and set it 
to Golden Brown

Meanwhile after
stirring her cup
so she at last
might wake up
she laid her Tea
spoon down.

The toaster 
popped
The toast to
on top
of the ancient
metal toaster

While she 
scoured the
shelves for
a butter pat 
or something
like that,
again feeling
what her job 
loss had cost
her.

Nothing left
Nothing to 
choose from
Nothing
because
there was 
no money.

A tear started
to fall as
she leaned
against the wall
straining on
tiptoe..

And then she 
spotted the
honey!

Oh, LORD,
she cried,
You always 
supply!

 She 
lifted the
honey
from the
shelf but
had to 
steady 
herself

When her smile 
turned to
a frown
as she brought
the honey
down.

For, in there, 
was only the 
very last
drop.

She held the jar
and prayed
giving thanks for
another day
then poured it..
until it
stopped.

She swore she’d
never seen 
anything
so beautiful as that
lengthening 
golden bead...

Slowly making
its way
down and out,
struggling to
reach the 
tea.

Oh, the riches 
of the LORD!
she groaned
inside.

And as it fell 
into her cup
her face 
lightened
right back
up..

Ummm..
The tea was
sweeter
than expected
she mused then
deflected,
for being a
single
drop.

And dipping
her toast
into the tea
she embraced
yet another 
reality..

That last drop
she said, is
just like 
when You bled
to save a
wretch
like me!

The steam
from her tea
rose from
her porcelain 
cup..

Thank You, Jesus
for supplying
all of my
needs.. yea
And to, the
very last
drop.

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.   - Philippians 4:19 NLT

Mother & Me  

The arms
that received
Me
bloody
from the
womb

The eyes
that stared
at Me
in disbelief

The heart 
that received
and blessed
God
for the
Miracle of
Me

The lips
that gently
touched My
forehead
in a long
moment of
exaltation

Tears fell
rolling down
Her cheeks
and onto
Her breast
where I
lay nestled
softly sealing
the Love of God
between
Us.

Such
was the
Fate of
Mother and 
Me.
Grandmother & Me

The angel
that lifted
Me
into the 
cradle of her
arms

The eyes
that danced
when I smiled
or yawned

The heart 
that blessed 
both Mother
 and Me
and then
melted into
 Mine

The lips
that pressed
into My
forehead 
and said
Welcome
Beloved!

Tears caressed
her cheeks 
and tickled
Mine
sealing our
hearts forever
The LORD is 
great and 
greatly to be
praised!
she cried.

​Such
was the 
Faith of
Grandmother and
Me.

I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. ~ 2 Timothy 1:5 NLT

For every true mother/father
 who genuinely nurtures -
 and disciplines -
 from a heart filled
 with love and justice, 
there are thousands who stunt children through abuse and selfish ambition. 
To which I say, Beware.. 
of hindering, 
love.

But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Allow the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. - St. Mark 10:14

America, The Great

Grandmother took a job to make ends meet
Times were severe, supplies were dear
And there was rarely enough to eat.

She replaced a man who was called to War
To go defend, along with friends
Belgium’s cold and embattled shore.

She proudly stood for hours on end
Wielding the torch, she kept on the porch
As she served with the other women.

On the hardest day she grabbed her head:
Two officers emerged, and everyone heard
That Matilda’s sons were... dead.

Taking courage from the flags though quite unnerved
Simple pine boxes to rest, she had done her best
To mark their lives and the Country they had served.

She hung both flags daily saluting their fate
For she knew that her sons, just babies with guns
Were two of the “men” to make America, The Great.

 * I descend from a long line of Patriots. Members of our family have fought in every war. I have in my possession the Symbol of Leslie Faith & Fortitude: a small blue New Testament that was signed by - and attended the service of - each soldier who went to battle. Recognizing that America is at a precipice, like Jeremiah the prophet, I have wept many rivers of tears for my Nation.. for its survival.. and for the future of my grandchildren, and now, by GOD’s blessing, a great-grandson!

This Independence Day, I am extremely grateful for a President & Vice President who openly acknowledge that our freedom comes from GOD, and no other.  

We currently have two nephews actively serving:  Gene, a Navy Seal
and Nick, an Air Force Fire Captain. Both are in their mid-to-late 30's and have wives and children.  Your prayers and intercessions for both men and their families would be extremely appreciated.

 MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE!

Arise, Arise!
For a great 
Surprise
Is now awaiting thee
In the lovely weeping  
Cherry Tree 
This frigid early
 morn.

She wears
A sparkling
Linen dress
Which beautifully
Doth caress
And quite
Exquisitely express
How Spring
is thus adorned.

And there Up High
Upon her branch
Sits my First Robin
to romance!

O' how deeply my heart
Hath yearned to 
Hear his
call
For he doth truly possess
A song within his reddest breast -
The sweetest song of
all!



In him
I see
remarkably
The LORD's
steadfastness 
Aimed towards 
me...

Be it future
Be it past
His Love & Beauty
are First
and Last!

Highlife!

A shout-out to those amazing aviators who enhance our long summer daze!

The mighty
roar of their
engines is
the first thing
we hear..

Then suddenly
like magic
they all just
seem to
appear!

They flip
they flop
It never
stops

The maneuvers
of the bright-
colored
planes

They criss
they cross
they even toss

Piercing clouds
on the bright
and sunny
days!

We rant
we rave
the children
wave

But they 
never do
reply

Except you know
to put on a
show


High high UP
in the 
sky!

For their 
attention
must needs
be

Not on the
children nor
on me

But on the 
aircraft
with which
they FLY!

‘Tis quite 
good for
the young 
ones to see
them soar

Lofting
above the 
mountain
heights
and more!

For it gives
them dreams 
and private 
schemes

To one day
experience
the Highlife
flight for
themselves!


 For I know the plans I have for you..plans for hope and a future.
                                                                                   -  Jeremiah 29:11

What Believing in Christ means:  When you say "I believe in Christ!", you are declaring that you truly believe and accept that Jesus Christ is Whom He says He is in His Holy Word, The Bible: the ONLY begotten of the Father in Heaven; The Son of GOD!  You are saying that you believe in His Virgin Birth, His Miracle Ministry on Earth, His Agony and the Power of His Shed Blood during His Cruel Crucifixion as He bore all your sins, my sins, and the sins of the world - once, for all people and for all time, reconciling us back to the Father [giving or imputing His Holiness into us in exchange for our filth and and sin - making us fit for the kingdom of Heaven!] You are further stating that you believe Christ's Burial was in a Borrowed Tomb, and that He was Bodily Resurrected on the Third Day by the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  You are acknowledging His Multiple Appearances to His Apostles, Disciples, and Followers after His Glorious Resurrection.. and His Baptism of Fire on Pentecost- which He told us to wait for from the Holy Ghost, and His Ascension to The Father, where Christ is now seated at His Father's Right Hand.  You are saying that you are eagerly watching for His return to gather us up to Himself [Rapture], that we might be with Him forever!  You are avowing to keep His commands and do them until He returns.  You are declaring, I shall live by faith!  You are proclaiming, To know Him is to love Him.. because He first loved me.
God Bless You, Beloved!

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.   - Isaiah 1:18

FoTE Quote
Rev. Rhonda S Galizia


​Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thy heart! 
                Psalm 37:4
​Delight Yourself!

Delight yourself in the LORD -
Get to know Him!
When He fills your heart with joy -
Then you must show Him!

Don’t leave Him 
Alone on the shelf
All wrapped inside The Book -
To just dwell on ...your SELF.

Dance before Him
Leap with abounding Joy
Shout praises to His Name
Tell Him you enjoy...

Every moment
Every word
In what you've shared
Of what you've heard

Tell Him you love Him
With all of your heart
Praise Him for Jesus
And a Brand-New Start!

Laud Him for the Holy Spirit
He sent to dwell inside
Who leads you into all Truth
And mentors you besides!

Do not fret or fear
That He is distant or aloof
The fact that you are Redeemed
Makes you Living Proof!

So delight yourself in the LORD -
Stay attendant at His side
Keep Him closer to your heart
Than the heartbeat.. He provides.



Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thy heart!”
Psalm 37:4

BOTH MEN HAVE SAFELY RETURNED.  NOBLE NICK HAS RETIRED FROM THE SERVICE NOW AND IS A CIVILIAN FIRE CAPTAIN, RAISING A SON & DAUGHTER WITH WIFE KRISTEN IN TENNESSEE, WHILE EUGENE RECEIVED A COVETED MEDAL OF SERVICE FOR HIS MULTIPLE OVERSEAS TOURS AND A PROMOTION TO CPO!  HE IS RAISING 3 SONS WITH HIS WIFE SAMANTHA IN CALIFORNIA.  
WHILST WE ARE SO BLESSED OF GOD TO REPORT THIS, PLEASE PRAY FOR GENE TO SEEK HELP FOR PTSD.  IT IS NO SHAME - EVEN AND ESP. FOR AN OFFICER - WHO HAS SERVED SO VALIANTLY!!                  
https://www.dav.org/veterans/resources/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd/

FOR THE HUNDREDS OF YOU SEEKING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ON HOMOSEXUALITY.. I HAVE HEARD YOUR CRIES, AND I SEARCHED UNTIL I FOUND WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE KINDEST AND GENTLEST PRESENTATION [BELOW]- YET ONE WHICH REMAINS THE  MOST FAITHFUL TO THE WORD OF GOD.
I CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR EACH OF YOU.  ONE OF MY OWN GRANDSONS IS COUNTED AMONG YOU.  AND RECENTLY, A GRANDDAGHTER.  IT NEVER CHANGES THE LOVE.. ONLY THE DEGREE OF URGENCY FOR PRAYER...BECAUSE I REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO!  AND MADE CONFUSED!
 I SINCERELY LOVE ALL OF YOU - AND DEARLY ENOUGH, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH!   
JUST REMEMBER BELOVED.. NONE OF THIS HAS TAKEN FATHER GOD BY SURPRISE.  AFTER SATAN'S REBELLION IN HEAVEN, FATHER GOD CAST HIM OUT - AND 1/3 OF THE ANGELS WITH HIM - WHO HAD FOLLOWED HIM IN HIS SIN OF PRIDE!
I BELIEVE FATHER GOD WAS EVEN FILLED WITH COMPASSION FOR HIM: ONE HE HAD CREATED - KNOWN AS LUCIFER - AND SO,  GAVE THE EARTH TO HIM TO RULE INSTEAD.  BUT LUCIFER DESTROYED PARADISE THROUGH ADAM AND EVE, AND HE IS STILL  DECEIVING AND DESTROYING AS MUCH TRUTH - AND AS MANY PEOPLE- AS POSSIBLE TO THIS VERY DAY!
BUT FATHER GOD GAVE US HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS TO  THE WORLD [EARTH] SO WE COULD FIND FORGIVENESS OF SIN AND ETERNAL LIFE!
JESUS HIMSELF TOLD US (Luke 17:26-33, Matt 24:37-39, 2 Peter 2:4-9) THAT IN THE LAST DAYS IT WOULD ONCE MORE BECOME LIKE THE DAYS OF LOT [SODOM AND GOMORRAH]... AND NOAH [GOD DESTROYED THE WORLD AND EVERY LIVING THING BECAUSE MAN'S THOUGHTS WERE EVIL CONTINUALLY BEFORE HIM  ONLY 8 PERSONS WERE SAVED!]    BUT FATHER GOD PROMISED US THAT HE WILL REMEMBER HIS RAINBOW! 

FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO BE SET FREE... I CORINTHIANS 6:9-11 GIVES YOU HOPE AND PROOF IT HAS BEEN DONE MILLENNIA BEFORE NOW! The Apostle Paul was addressing the Believers in Corinth!
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but[now]ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
THEREFORE, MY BELOVED, TAKE HEART!!   XO Rev. Rhonda
​12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.   Genesis 9:12-15

TraiTs

There once was a darling child born
In the wee hours of a cold Autumn morn
Who was created to only be loved.
But her parents it seemed
Had already deemed
That, she was not worthy of.

For her father, you see,
Just between you and me
Thought that girls were a big waste of time.
But the mother who knew better
Intervened when he’d let her
So the little girl was always misaligned.

Her mother was such a fool
And thinking her own self quite beautiful
Wanted the child to be her clone.
So in cruelty, then, did she
Begin to remove from her daughter dutifully..
Every trait, that was not her own.

Then, when father and daughter were estranged;
After all her God-given traits were re-arranged
The mother, still, was not satisfied.
So she methodically destroyed
Whatever the child enjoyed
And ignored her, whenever she cried.

Meanwhile, her mysogenist father 
had shaved her little head bald
Then recalling his war days, guffawed, 
when the little girl had bawled
But even that... that was not torture enough.
Came the day when her top front teeth had a wee wiggle
But just barely enough to make the girl giggle
Still, the father yanked them out together, quite rough!

They named her "Bald & Toothless"
Mocking her to anyone who would hear
And the little girl's spirit shriveled inside
Her siblings and even her "friends"
Laughed at her again and again.

They placed an old wool scarf upon her balded head
Whilst the child fervently wished that she were dead
Then sent her off to her favorite Sunday School.
Where she was ridiculed and teased
And never really received..
Except for one teacher, who loved her so.

The little girl flew into her open arms
To escape the verbal and physical harm
And the crushing remarks from her peers.
Then the teacher so lovingly cooed 
God loves you and so do I, she soothed
Trying to counteract her gut-wrenching tears.

The older that little girl grew
The more cruelty she knew
Like the misused Bible on the shelf.
For the mother proceeded to strip
From the child every good and perfect gift -
Because truly.. the mother hated herself.

The poker-straight hair on the girl
That the mother would force to curl
Was just to feed her own ugly pride.
And the little fat knobs on her knees
For which she was mercilessly teased
And was always forced to hide..

Just drove her further into regression 
Because of her foolish mother’s obsession
And she believed she was uglier than dirt.
She thought that no one really understood
Why she thought she was no good
Or that, she was always, living in hurt.

So the girl grew up in shame
Embarrassed even, by her name
That was not only odd, but extremely unheard.
For the movie-struck mother had chosen 
The name of a star that had risen,
And most folks, it seemed, found absurd.

But suddenly, the girl was fourteen
And developing nicely in between
The old, ugly gaps and unused spaces.
Amazingly, her name was heard in a song
And the trend for hair was now straight and long
And she even had one of those “oval faces”! 

But, it was not until many decades further
That the girl finally did not hate her mother
And could forgive everything she had suffered.
For in Christ she had discovered that the truth
From her very harsh and tormented youth
Was that all the "bad" traits were actually her mother’s!


He has made everything beautiful in its time. 
He has also set eternity in the human heart; 
yet no one can fathom what God has done
 from beginning to end.      Ecclesiastes 3:11

If you are experiencing anxiety, abuse, heartache, chaos, confusion, uncertainty, fear, resentment, contempt, hatred or
distrust, discouragement, disillusionment. distrust, infidelity, loneliness, loss, or sickness... whatever it may be...
there is an answer, Beloved!

Jesus Christ...the only begotten Son. He and the Father are One. Go to Him now on bended knees, seek Him with your whole heart.. and you WILL sense His Presence.  "Draw nigh to GOD and He will draw nigh to you." St. James 4:8

Jesus, our Advocate, will take you directly to His Father, for mercy and grace. There is no situation too hard for Him - and there is no life or situation so battered
that it cannot be restored.

I was asked to compose a poem for an anthology
regarding the New Millennium.  This was the result.
See how prophetic it was and is, Beloved!



Cupbearer 2000


'Twas in the white-washed palace, great and tall,
When I first learned about the broken wall,
The gates were burning!  The captives held in scorn;
I fasted, I prayed, and for months did I mourn.

O' Lord God in Heaven!  Look down!  Listen and see!
Hear the prayers of Your servant, and have mercy on me!
My countenance is fallen, my burden too heavy for sleep,
Please, my Father in Heaven, allow me to speak.

I wish to intercede in behalf of a nation putrid and corrupt,
Therefore hear, a sincere, confession of our sins vs. Your covenant!
Almighty GOD, forgive us!  We have transgressed Thy laws,
Now blood runs wild in our streets, and all our wounds are raw!

There is nothing sacred or noble left here, LORD!  And added to my shame,
This land, our great inheritance, is held in universal disdain.
Our courts are a sham, filled with a hissing: A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE FOR ALL!
Hearts and minds are perverse!  It's just getting worse -- ABBA, the cradle doth fall!

Few, remain true, of those sent by You
Only those redeemed by Thy great power
Therefore, prosper, I pray, Your servants today;
Let us boldly declare the Coming Hour!

Music & Lyrics: Rhonda S. Galizia


When you are weary
Or just worn out
When you have travelled
A different route
And when you go through
Your seas of doubt
That's when I'll love you...
Inside-out


When you are broken
And stand without
When you have denied
That I'm your God
And when you're hurting
And start to shout
That's when I'll love you...
Inside-out


You'll know I love you
With ev'ry breath,
You'll know I love you
L'est you forget...


You'll know I love you
When you're alone
You'll know I love you
And you've come home
You'll know I love you:
I'm what love's about...


Only I...
can love you
Inside-out.

Lenten Reflections


Humans are shrouded in darkness, entombed by their own wickedness.
  But Jesus the Christ spilled His Blood for you, to prove His love, and set you free!

Greetings, Beloved!​ 

Have you ever had the experience where you have freely poured yourself out - given every possible moment of your time and strength and energy - for someone you love so dearly, because you know it is the best possible thing for them ... only to have it backfire on you!?

Do you remember the level of emotional and physical pain you suffered because of it? The person or persons whom you loved so perfectly chose completely opposite of what you knew in the depth of your soul was what they needed more than anything.. but they weren't having it! Instead they made fun of you and your hurt feelings, maybe even mocked and ridiculed you for awhile. Your heart was bleeding out waves of love for them, but it meant absolutely nothing.

Remember feeling ganged-up on, and all one-sided? Remember the isolation from being misunderstood and rejected? Abandoned or betrayed?

We can all relate to those circumstances in one way or another.. some of us, many times over. Those which were so horrendous, so traumatic, that the very memory of it may still sting .. even after all these years.

Well, I know and love Someone Who suffered it all - everything each of us just discussed.. and then, added to that pain and suffering, grief and sorrow, was the total darkness and weight of every sin, transgression, iniquity, trespass, debt, unclean thing, abomination, detestable thing, perverse thing, etc. that ever was, is currently being, or ever will be, committed!

​THINK OF IT, BELOVED! Every crime, and act of violence or terrorism, all murders, rapes, and assaults, all abuses of every form, all abandonment and rejection, every type of cruelty, every heinous act, all witchcraft, Satanic practices, and cult behaviors, every form of idolatry and idol worship of false gods that mankind bows down to, all racism and neo-naziism, all anti-Semitism... all the hate and bitterness and contempt of all people for all time! And yet, Jesus, the ONLY Begotten Son of GOD, paid it all..

Just think of all the war crimes and death camps - just from World War II alone! - it is impossible to fathom all the evil and sin in the world, past, present, and future! Yet my Someone bore it all...absorbed it into His Own Being, on the Cross.

Some sins, like gossip and slander and blasphemy and vulgarity are less regarded because they are "just words" - but Beloved, they are just as treacherous as nuclear bombs!

Our words have been given power, Beloved - good words unto life [blessing; building up; encouraging; edifying; strengthening; soothing, etc.] - or evil words unto death [cursing; destroying; discouraging; tearing down; weakening; harming, etc.]

The Someone I know and love, willfully and willingly sacrificed His Own Life in exchange for the healing and restoration of ours, Beloved!

He redeemed us - bought us back - from the Enemy with a price!
​So, what price are you willing to pay to receive a clean slate - one that utterly blots out all your own past sins and misdeeds, and every evil word, deed, thought, or act?

Well, let's see... have you ever tried doing that? Exactly how do you go about erasing your wicked past?  You cannot, Beloved! Even if you clean yourself up for awhile, and try to change your old ways.. you will remain powerless to do so permanently. For Satan watches, waiting for us to stumble...
and as soon as a stronger temptation than the last comes along, you will default to your old patterns and programs!

But there is HOPE, Beloved! when you are truly ready to confront yourself and your sinful ways.. to confess it to the LORD that He is right and you have been oh-so-wrong! Yes, Beloved, when you are sick and tired of the same old same old, when you want to lay down your old self and your old sinful ways, then and only then, are you ready to call upon the Name of Jesus, the most beautiful Name I know!

Only He can blot out your past. Only He can forgive your sins, because only He paid the unspeakable price [ransom] to do so..

Humans are shrouded in darkness, entombed by their own wickedness.
But Jesus the Christ spillled His Blood for you to prove His love, and set you free!

Are you ready to be set free? To become a new creature in Christ?  

Invite Him into your heart right now, Beloved, to rule and to reign as your personal Lord, Master & Saviour. Ask Him to forgive you of all of your sin and to take over your life, and make you a new man or woman or young person.

If your motive is sincere, He will.

I'm praying for you, Beloved.  May your heart be convicted this Lenten Season, so that you, too, may partake of The Cup of Life!

With Christ's Abiding Love,
Rev. Rhonda

With ev'ry breath,
You'll know I love you

​The Easter Story
According to St. Matthew

​The Plot to Kill Jesus
(Mark 14:1-2; Luke 22:1-6; John 11:45-57)

1And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 2Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. 5But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

Jesus Anointed at Bethany
(Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-8)

6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 13Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
(Zechariah 11:10-17; Matthew 27:3-10; Mark 14:10-11)

14Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

The Last Supper
(Psalm 41:1-13; Mark 14:12-21; Luke 22:7-13; John 13:18-30)

17Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 19And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

20Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. 21And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 23And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 25Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

The Lord's Supper Instituted
(Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-23; 1 Corinthians 11:17-34)

26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

30And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
(Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:31-38; John 13:36-38)

31Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. 32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. 34Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 35Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

Jesus Prays at Gethsemane
(Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46)

36Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

Jesus' Betrayal and Arrest
(Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-14)

47And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 49And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

51And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. 52Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. 56But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

Jesus Before the Sanhedrin
(Isaiah 53:1-8; Mark 14:53-65; John 18:19-24; 1 Peter 2:21-25)

57And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 58But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

59Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; 60But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 61And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. 66What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

67Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 68Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

Peter Denies Jesus
(Mark 14:66-72; Luke 22:54-62; John 18:15-18)

69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrayeth thee. 74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Jesus Delivered to Pilate
(Mark 15:1-5)

1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Judas Hangs Himself
(Zechariah 11:10-17; Matthew 26:14-16; Mark 14:10-11)

3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

Jesus Before Pilate
(Luke 23:1-6; John 18:28-40)

11And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas
(Mark 15:6-11; Luke 23:13-25)

15Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

Pilate Washes his Hands
(Mark 15:12-15)

24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
(Isaiah 50:4-11; Mark 15:16-20; Luke 22:63-65; John 19:1-15)

27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

The Crucifixion
(Psalm 69:1-36; Mark 15:21-32; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:16-27)

32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36And sitting down they watched him there; 37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

The Death of Jesus
(Psalm 22:1-31; Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:28-30)

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calls for Elias. 48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

The Burial of Jesus
(Isaiah 53:9-12; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42)

57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 58He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

The Guard at the Tomb
62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64 Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

The Resurrection
(Psalm 16:1-11; Psalm 49:1-20; Mark 16:1-8; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-9)

1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

The Report of the Guards
11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

The Great Commission
(Mark 16:14-18)

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. 
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.



























Fruit of The Earth wishes you a glorious Resurrection Day!!!
