My Friend, David's Online Store

If any of you are looking for some unique Christmas gift ideas, try my friend David's new online store!!  It's called Conversions Plus and he has some really neat stuff on there.  He just got the site up and running a couple of days ago so he doesn't have everything on there yet (he had been primarily using Ebay to sell) so if you don't see anything you like, be sure to check back often because he will be adding more and more items.  Here's the link:  http://www.conversions-plus.com/store.asp

Stef, thanks so much for sharing my website ,
My hears desire is to win soul and to be a blessing .
I wanted to let you know I really am thankfull for such a friend as you.
God has blessed you so much,
I know he is proud how you have given him all.
How you have growned in grace and knowledge, wooohooo, somefolks and the devil himself is disapointed.
But to God be the glory!
The bible says a fool would say the Lord delayeth his coming.
I say even a fool stuck in a form of traidtion and religion needs to get their hearts right.
My there is still some is not being lead by the spirit of God
there all wraped in racesm and so many things to mention.
Well I have doubt one can enter the kingdom of heaven with this kind of ignorance in the heart , not the head.{Big difference}
The bible tells me no sin will enter the kingdom of heaven.
If thy has something against some1
better get it under the blood , and you need renewing of the holy spirit to be lead and guided the way God would have you , get that fleshly sin covered by the blood.
this is where the bible speaks on , not every1 that says Lord ,Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but the one that does he's will . {Get self out of the way.}
WELL I HAD NO INTENTION OF SAYING ANYTHING WHEN I MADE COMMENT TO SIGN YOUR BLOG,I AM PRAYED UP AND WANT TO BE LEAD BY GOD SO I WILL CONTINUE.
I HAVE A FEW OLDER FOLKS IN MY FAMILY, WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH
BLACKS AND MEXICANS, I WANT TO TELL YOU WITH MY HEART BURSTING WITH LOVE FOR YOU AND SUCH CONCERN,
I AM WONDERING HOW YOU THINK YOU GOING TO HEAVEN AND YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THEN SOME1 ELSE.
YOU BETTER GET THAT MESS UNDER THE BLOOD B4 YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD AND STAND B4 GOD . THAT IS SIN AND IT CAN NOT ENTER HEAVEN. YOU ANT NO BETTER THAN THAT MAN LAYING OUT THERE IN THE GUTTER.
MY GOD LOVES HIM JUST AS MUCH
AND TO THINK YOU CAN JUSTIFY A COLOR OF A PERSON SKIN, MY JESUS WAS AND IS A JEW. {DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU KNEW}
MY, MY THIS JUST BREAKS MY HEART
AS LONG AS ONE SAYS OH YEA I BEEN A CHRISTIAN , AND HAVENT RECEIVED KNOWLEDGE FROM GOD ABOUT THIS MATTER. [ ???? ]
IF IT IS PRIDE THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO ADMIT YOU WRONG, WILL FOLKS ARE SLIPPING OFF INTO HELL EVER DAY BECAUSE OF PRIDE.
I TELL YOU THATS HOW I KNOW I AM SAVED , I LOVE THE BRETHREN!!!!!!!!
I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE YOU AND
I HOPE YOU GET TO READ THIS.
BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.
I AM NOT TALKING TO JUST ONE PERSON
HERE I KNOW OF FIVE OR MORE PERSONALLY THAT FEELS THIS WAY ,
MY, I HOPE YOU WAKE UP.
I WANT US TO BE TOGETHER IN HEAVEN.
MY , MY AT THE SOULS HAS BEEN BROKEN AND TORN and to offend one of his littleones.
PLEASE GET IT UNDER THE BLOOD ! PLEASE!
I LOVE YOU.
example .....
ALL MY YEARS I WENT TO SCHOOL , I WAS TAUGHT AN ORANGE WAS AN APPLE
LATER IN YEARS EVERYONE TOLD ME I WAS WRONG , I KNEW WHAT MY TEACHERS TOLD ME , BUT I HAVE EVERYONE NOW TELLING ME NO THAT ORANGE IS A APPLE.

OK, SO IF I BELEIVED ONE WAY WHEN I WAS GROWNING UP AND LATER FOUND OUT IT WAS JUST WHAT I HAD BELEIVED IN ALL THESES YEARS.
I WAS WRONG AND DEEP NOW I KNEW IT.

YOU TELL ME GOD HAS BLESSED THESE MINSTRIES ON TV WITH 1000sssss
of people, DONT YOU THINK GOD WOULD HAVE STOPED THEM IF IT WAS WRONG. YOU SEEN THEM ALL MIXED WITH RACES AND {YOU} GOING TO SPEAK SUCH THINGS.
THE TOUNGUE CAN GIVE YOU LIFE OR DEATH THE BIBLE SAYS.
HEY, GOD HAS BLESS THOSE MINISRTY
EVER GOOD GIFT COME FROM ABOVE.
I HAVENT CALLED ANY NAMES TO WHO THIS MAY BE FOR.
BUT IF THE SHOE FITS WEAR IT.
{There is no where in the bible of such ignorance you speak!}
JUST GO TO DOCTOR JESUS AND GET A CHECK UP , THATS ALL YOU NEED .
A CHILD OF GOD WILL SEEK GOD ON THIS IF YOU FEEL I AM WRONG .
GOD WILL SURE LET YOU KNOW.
BUT I HAVE BEEN TO DOCTOR JESUS !

I WANT TO PRAY RIGHT NOW.
MY PRAYER.
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AS I COME HUMBLE AS A CHILD , WITH DEEPEST CONCERN OF SOME SOULS , THAT I LOVE DEARLY AND YOU HAVE BROUGHT
MY WAY KNOWLEDGE TO WARN FOLKS.
I AM SO THANKFULL, I HAVE THIS CHANCE TO DO SO.
I WANT TO ALWAYS OBEY YOU AND DO YOUR WILL.LORD I DONT WANT TO OFFEND NO ONE AND CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS, JUST LEAD BY YOUR SPIRIT.
I KNOW YOU HAVE LEAD ME TO SAY THIS , IT HAS BEEN ON MY HEART FOR SOMETIME NOW. I HAVE PUT IT OFF NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
LORD AND I ASK FORGIVENESS AND THANK YOU, I WAS LEAD TO SAY THIS TONIGHT.
LORD I HAVE LOVEONES THAT NEED A TOUCH IN THEIR BODY.
LOVEONES THAT NEED TO GET THEIR HEARTS RIGHT.I AM GOING TO THANK YOU [IT IS ALL TAKEN CARE OF.]
YOU TELL US TO SPEAK THOSE THINGS AS THEY SHOULD BE , NOT AS THEY SEEM.
I SPEAK NOW ON A TRUE REPENTANCE
FROM LOVE ONES , THAT THEY WILL ASK AND SEEK KNOWLEDGE FROM YOU LORD.
TO BE LEAD BY YOU AND GET THAT FOOLISH MESS OUT OF THE WAY.
MAY WE ALL GROW IN GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE. IN JESUS NAME ,
AMEN, AMEN

Ever Wondered What God Smelled Like?

DO YOU SMELL THAT?
 
 
A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing.  She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news.
That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing.
At 12 inches  long and weighing only one pound nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs.
"I don't think she's going to make it," he said, as kindly as he could.    "There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one."
Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor   described the devastating problems Dana would likely face if she survived.
She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on.
"No! No!" was all Diana could say.
She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four.  Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away.
But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana.  Because Dana's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially 'raw,' the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Dana struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl.
There was never a moment when Dana suddenly grew stronger.  But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there.
At last, when Dana turned two months old, her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time.  And two months later, though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero, Dana went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted.
Five years later, when Dana was a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She showed no signs whatsoever of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she was everything a little girl can be and more. But that happy ending is far from the end of her story.
One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Dana was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing.
As always, Dana was chattering nonstop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent.
Hugging her arms across her chest, little Dana asked, "Do you smell that?"   Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, "Yes, it smells like rain."   Dana closed her eyes and again asked, "Do you smell that?"   Once again, her mother replied, "Yes, I think we're about to get wet.  It smells like rain."
Still caught in the moment, Dana shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced, "No, it smells like Him.  It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest."
Tears blurred Diana's eyes as Dana happily hopped down to play with the other children. Before the rains came, her daughter's words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along.  During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Dana on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well.
You now have 1 of 2 choices. You can either pass this on and let other people catch the chills like you did, or you can delete this and act like it didn't touch your heart like it did mine.
IT'S YOUR CALL! "  I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.
"

"Kept" Woman


I Am a "Kept" Woman .

You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,
but GOD
kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)

There were times when I thought I could go no longer, but the LORD
kept
me moving. (Gen 28:15)

At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me
wrong, but the LORD
kept my mouth shut. (Psa. 13)

Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough, but GOD has helped me
to
keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid,
etc.., (Matt. 6:25-34)

When I thought I would fall, HE
kept me up. When I thought I was weak,
HE
kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)

I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!
Praise the Lord. I'm blessed to be "
KEPT."

Are you...or do you know a
"kept" woman?

If so pass it on to her to let her know she is
"Kept"
