Finished reading 'Finding The Dream' by Nora Roberts. What a man, this Michael Fury, to stand by Laura Templeton marvelously. Even, her mother Susan is impressed. To treat her two little daughters, Kayla and Ali so well. After her divorce from her former husband Peter, who left her in the lurch and is now marrying another lady, Candy. Towards the end, Laura falls off the cliff in an earthquake and Michael Fury and his horse rescue her , risking his own life. He truly loves Laura. She finally proposes to him which he agrees. This is another American author that I have liked ! Americans write so well !

message 2740: by Tonisha (new)

Tonisha Fortune (Momafortune) | 2 comments How do we shake up the power invested in us to move mountains, cast out demons, heal the sick?

Are we going to not act before the great and dreadful day of our Lord and Savior?

Has He fulfilled all of His promises to us?

When shall be the 1,000 year reign?

Could be it not a fulfillment of prophecy, yet it be prophetic?- For this not come in the natural tongue but in the spirit, being called WISDOM.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45
The First Coming is not like the Second or the Third, and this is why....
We have come to lead the way, to take your way as our Children, parts of our bodies in the flesh being one. It is time for God to restore everything.
Acts 3:19-21 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you - even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:34-36
The hour has come.
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." (Luke 12:40)

The Final judgment comes after the 1,000 year reign.
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. "Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life." (Matthew 25:31-46)

Just as Moses saw the Promise Land, so can we. In seeing it; we can also make it a reality. God has shared the secrets of the Kingdom through His word, and divine visions. The Lord tells us that it pleases Him to give us His Kingdom. In the Our Father prayer, we ask God for His Kingdom to come to Earth as it is in Heaven. Jeremiah shared with us what God instructed us to do when we hear from Him, and that is to write in a book all of His spoken words. As we seek after God through prayer, fasting, and reading His word, we will truly find Him. The magnificent glory of the Lord shines forth, and His will for us is put into an understandable plan of action. Coming into His incredible Light, it cannot be kept hidden, so I am sharing this new found knowledge I have come to understand. The word tells us to seek first the Kingdom of God, and everything else will be added. After looking for something, once it has been found we rejoice, and tell everyone about our findings. In this book I sought after the Living Word of God, and in doing so I found out His plan for us. God spoke to me through my writing and He broke down the steps to bringing forth the Kingdom on earth. His plan for the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven starts with His Children humbling ourselves and doing the work He has called us to do according to His will. With your help, we will awaken the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Repent, the Kingdom is in Our Hands!!! Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? Matthew 6:26 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:31-34 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 6:51

Karla | 1 comments I am reading Mercy's First Semester by W.M. Bunche . It is a very easy read. It gives you an insight into veterans who are dealing with PTSD and finding a sense of normalcy after military life. I am thoroughly enjoying it and rooting for the main character Mercy. I find myself immersed in his day-to-day life as he struggles to find himself. I highly recommend this book to everyone. It will not disappoint. This book has also increased my appreciation for the sacrifices our military men and women and their families make from day to day.
