I am a christian blogger. Though I do love the devil - lucifer.............he had no choice to be "the devil" Cause John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Let's not hate god xoxoo everyone, doin our best including Lucifer. If you e-mail me your only going to stress me out more then I already am but to be "easy to intreat" sheriwalz@gmail.com
Sheri 11/10/2023 is more the "love grown cold type" (my love hasn't grown completely cold - but really read matthew 24:12 it isn't saying our love will grow completley cold it'll "wax cold" Matthew 24:12 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." I just go to bible study and the methodist church cause my husband likes to go to church, but if you ask him he says he goes to church for my sake, except I DIDN'T PICK THE METHODIST CHURCH. If church was for my sake and I was going to it cause I was enjoying it makes sense I'd get to pick the church or have some kind of say in the church we go to --------------- I don't.
Last night I did a live "replay" but live encore class from London, via peloton app. It was a really good workout.....................
I been thinking a lot lately about the verse that mentions confessing our faults one to another - and the idea of being "broken"........and broken is pry another way to say "poor of spirit". I think in most of our minds, the idea of "perfection" is maybe complete perfection??????????? But is it really?????????
Is perfect that you are perfect???????????? Is the question I am asking???????????? What if perfect, is being "poor in spirit".................Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." It's hard for me to say what I want to say, but what if """""""perfect""""""""" still involves us having a few "faults" ----------- a few things we struggle with from time to time. And a "poorness of spirit" due to it. James 5:16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
I'm not saying like a lot of faults necessarily. I'm not saying........go sin.
Luke 18:11-14 "The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
That's all god gave me to say for today. This is what I been thinking much about lately. This idea that there can be perfection in brokenness (or being "poor in spirit" cause that's what I deem broken is just another word for being "poor in spirit"). 2 Timothy 1:9 "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,"
Have a great week earth!
LOVE
Deep in thought at the moment James 1:1-4 "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
Here in James 1-4 it's talking about counting it all joy when we fall into "divers temptations" this is something to think about I think...................I think cause we are weak we are frail, we are maybe at times easily tempted???????????
Then verse 4 jumps out at me at the moment......................."but let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
With your flesh crucified, dead. Wanting nothing!
------------------------------------------- me going off topic a touch I am weak, fantastically weak and I know I am fantastically weak (and sometimes I do probably overly defend myself and/or my stance when I feel like I am being overely judged, etc.)
....................................what happened to me at the age of 3 doesn't happen to most 3 year olds in like all of eternity................................but the devil knew I was weak...........and he didn't want to wait til I was more able to defend myself...........at a older age then 3...........................
he sicked the bad bad bad bad at my tiny weak 3 year old self
and I did crack a few years later cause I am weak
I thankfully know this about myself so that is good
------------------------------- look at alcoholics, drug addicts, which ones have the largest problem out there ------------------ is it not the ones that don't think they have a problem??????????????????
Admiting you have a problem, knowing you have a problem, and then going to the solution aka the word of god ========== good combo!
(the blog post before this blog post, or I think it was that blog post, one the recent ones, I replied to what I'm guessing is a brother of the apostolic christian church of america today....................my dad told me not to reply to nobody on my blog especially if they comment "annonymous" like this one did ----------- but the bible it says...................... Luke 6:31
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
how would I like people to do unto me.................
have bowels of mercy towards me!!!!!!!!!!!!
to not ignore me (so in my mind I want to reply when people comment, or a great deal of the time make a real effort to do that...........for I wouldn't want to be ignored, or felt that I was ignored)
also the bible says that open rebuke is better then secret love......................I'd hope nobody would like sledge hammer me............but if I was "wrong" somehow.....................I would wish for someone to point that out to me...........then for me to be left making a fool of myself on my blog for instance
if a car drives the wrong way do we not scream out the window "you are driving the wrong way"
we don't want people to get harmed
is "open rebuke" really the house of horrors????????????
Proverbs 27:4-6King James Version (KJV)
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend!
in my mind I am big bird and mr rogers
and anybody thinking I'm anything besides
big bird or mr rogers
I don't get your thought process???????????
and jesus but I'm probably more like mr rogers and big bird! (take me awhile longer to be like a lot like jesus - that's a high bar)
I watched the big bird documentary with my husband recently I left the room at the end he didn't notice it but I busted out crying my eyeballs - I left the room fast at the end.
(nothin much could choke me up more then a well done big bird documentary)

(I'm painting boating buoys right now, this is on a giant posterboard, I used buoys from this image https://www.pinterest.com/pin/239887117621949160/)
Paul is like me he didn't feel this stuffs til he witnessed it 2 Corinthians 11:28-30 "Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities." See the "high up" in the apostolic christian church of america, telling me everyone's feelings are hurt bad isn't the same as me seeing it, if they ain't showing it, if they ain't talking to me ----------------- AND THEN I'M JUST TOLD BY THE "high up"....................I didn't ever "experience" that. To even be effected by that.
Also I'd like to point out 2 corinthians 11:28 where it mentions "the care of all the churches";
When a church has "commandments of men", am I really supposed to so as to "not hurt feelings", not make mention of how bad commandments of men are???????????? Is it not my full blown job, caring for all of the churches.............to warn them, to warn them that they are in that adding to the bible and that if they hold onto those commandments of men according to the bible plagues are going to happen to them (Revelation 22:18)
Ezekiel 33:3-6 "If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand."
So I am blowing the trumpet!!!!!!!!!!!!
the "commandments of men" are bad!
"adding to the bible" is bad!
I fully believe a trumpet needed to be blown...................................ok I admit I might be much to good of a trumpeter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happens to be I was a band geek, me and my friends we'd hang out most the time in jr. high in the band room at lunch....................I have no idea what the rest of my jr. high did at lunch??????? The jr. high I went to in scottsdale arizona, it didn't have nothing but a track................I recogn the rest of my jr. high was rather depraved at lunch time. IT WAS AWESOME BEING A BAND GEEK!!!!!!!!!!!! - I still am a band geek : )
Have a great week earth!

Update 11/8/2023 finally got a spin bike 😁it has a holder for BOTH my water bottle and the remote control 😁 Ended up subscribing to the $24 a month peloton app. And did my 1st spin class with Cody Rigsby 😁................
It was AWESOME. Today is Kendalls day though. I might very much switch off between cody and kendall. 👍 Those are the 2 that showed up on my tik tok feeds........................tik tok does know me!!!!!!!!!!!!
New Zeal, Fresh FIRE...........life ain't about your mistakes you made yesterday, life is about what you choose to do today! I don't have to be "defined" by my past (are those who won't show me mercy out there - YA DEFINATELY!) With what all happened sunday that's what's a lot on my mind "where's the apostolic christian church of america's mercy????????????" (if their mercy exists I'm not seeing it to well at the moment - a glimmer, mike preached 2nd half the service extremely a bit of the bible that was uh supportive that's how I'd word that) I could be me and the "high up in the apostolic christian church of america" both had a real bad day simultaneously...............one that involved me going in a dark room in the church crying and telling my husband to just leave me at the church to die...............so attacked I was. Apparently there is massive "fo paws" all over my blog and the apostolic christian church of america has been keeping a ongoing tally of these "fo paws". I don't know where they exist I'm as clueless as I could be?????????????????????????????
It's been on my mind, how much trouble the jews got into for idolatry
and how much I know that
I know that
Yet there have been days where I've pretended like somehow those verses weren't speaking to me somehow. As if god only meant that for my ancestors like 2500 or whatever years ago.
And I've seen a trend in the bible where the jews got into idolatry and then things went bad for them, and then they asked god for mercy.
God always protected the jewish people when they put god first!
(there have been days where I've expected all of god's protection etc. without truelly fully putting him first in my whole day)
I am determined to change that
Deuteronomy 30:2-10 "And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. 4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul."
Somedays I wonder ---------------------- is god going to put me back in isreal?????????????? My husband likes living by his family a whole lot!!!!!!!!!!!! I ponder that somedays. (I've felt a bit of a call of god over isreal, BUT I COULD JUST BE MEANT TO VISIT ISREAL)
But at any rate Deuteronomy 30:2-10 is indicative of how to some extent or another things have always been for the jewish people (and us christian jews) when we have idolatry etc. or just flat out stuffs before god..........................things go bad. But when we put god 1st he prospers us, he protects us.
Going by the songs sang at the apostolic christian church of america they appear to be terrified of me......................don't know how that is, I'm 1 person.I am a army but in my estimation I am a small army. Though I guess if you include 1000's of angels then, I guess ya I'm pry the most terrifyingest thing on the planet (maybe you know a few times a year???????????? It's possible!!!!!!!!!!!!). Jesus has me beat though..............Matthew 26:53 "Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
12 legions of angels...........................
12 legions of angels I don't know how many that is............that's a lot though!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Faith it does need to be active...........it's not enough to sit on the couch all day watch tv and just "believe". I'm off the couch, if I watch news let that be my 30 minutes of tv for the day! Enough to know what's going on in the world.
I need to have god/jesus 1st in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The high up in the church that I basically got in a massive cat fight with this weekend said "you don't know what the future holds you might get a divorce etc. etc. etc."
............................but I can some know what the future holds when I have christ in my life...............when I put god/jesus 1st in my life!
Bible says don't worry what you will eat or drink...................so many in this world worry and I'm even told to worry, I'm told often to worry lots about retirement.................Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Whether your jew, or gentile................that is a promise from god that we can all count on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1000's of angels is pretty fab to though!
Matthew 26:52-54 "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
I no have, no want no sword
I love everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the song the holy spirit wants me to add to the end of this post............. Audio recording >> I might add a piano version later............right now my family is in the living room watching "The flash" and so I would not be able to add a piano version til tommorow at the earliest.

Update sounding like getting a spin bike today 😁 (that's all that's my update) Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."..............
fresh video 2020 me singing "Time after Time" by Cindy Lauper.........................I wish for nothing but bestest things for the Apostolic Christian Church of america...........I do not practice witchcraft anymore, but the main tennet in that religion is whatever you do comes back to you 3 times over..................aka do not harm............do not wish for anything but the best for all.
The Wiccan three-fold law isn’t just a tenet of Wiccan beliefs. The idea is that whatever energy you put out into the world, spiritual or otherwise, it will come back to you three times. This is also often referred to as karma."""""""""""""
Blessings to all!
(Revelation 22:18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:" - I'm of the rubenstein family I really actually believe this stuffs, I fear god!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to add no "commandments of men" - naw)Charity thinketh no evil 1 Corinthians 13:5 "Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;"..............when a church has "commandments of men" and I find out that that doesn't line up with god's word, then that is evil I must consider that exists because it's not lining up with the word of god................but we should though in general think well of one another hope for one another.....................1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away."
The person that is high up in the apostolic christian church of america that confronted me yesterday, asked me how do I know if I don't just "think I'm right"? And do I know the difference between "thinking I am right" and "knowing I am right"
And I didn't answer him at first (because he was annoying me to be honest yesterday - I think we both had antagonized each other at that point - that saying is true "it takes two to tango" I'M DONE TANGOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I hadn't said what I did to enrage this brother like I did, I wish I hadn't pressed his buttons like that...............much better to be able to have a nice calm conversation with someone then what happened yesterday) but when he was blocking the entrance to the church and asking me again that question I told him..............
I know that the apostolic christian church of america's "commandments of men" are indeed "commandments of men" and bad (aka bangs forbidden for members, beards, wedding rings) because...............
1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."
It's the word of god, I can rely on the word of god and know for 100% it is true, if the word of god tells me "all things are lawful for me"......................then I believe it, I know for 100% that all things are indeed lawful for me, I can be sure of that because it's written in the word of god.
That's not including things that are clearly sins....................
drunkedness
porn
nude beaches (in the event anyone should ask me "sheri why would nude beaches be a bad thing what is wrong with us all walking around naked all day?" Genesis 3:21 "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.")
nude communities
adultery
lieing
partying
theft
murder
idolatry
occult involvement aka witchcraft, sorcery
pry more on the list.....................those things are sins so they is not lawful for me.
Luke 15:21-22 "And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:"
LOVE
1 Timothy 1
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Sheri 2015 was trying to buy the love of the apostolic christian church of america.............that basiscally never works out buying people's love even if I would've managed that.
if your hated your hated
and I am hated by the apostolic christian church of america
that's the real reason I was criticized for trying to get traffic to my blog and they hate me
so of course they don't want info to my e-mail or anything cause I'M HATED
Luke 21:17 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake."
SHERI 11/6/2023 is no longer needy like this................(I forgive mini me, people want to be liked they want to be loved).....................I'M SAYING I WANTED TO BE LIKED AND LOVED.............problem is I am a follower of jesus that means everyone hates me Luke 21:17 "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake." I'm finally chill with that, I got's lucifer his men, god/jesus and my husband and kids etc. I HAVE PLENTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................
I was told today at the apostolic christian church of america that I am not "behaving in a way that is indicitive of a follower of christ" but jesus he confronted the pharisee's he didn't pretend that what the pharisee's were doing was alright and just didn't say nothing to them - HE ACTUALLY SPOKE TO THEM AND SAID HEY THIS ISN'T GOOD!......there's bible verses after bible verses of jesus confronting the pharisee's I'm not saying that the apostolic christian church of america is pharisee's I'm saying that confronting people when you think they are not in line with the bible is "indicative of someone following jesus"...........
Matthew 12:1-8 "At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
And a person brian (my husband) does not want me to name names, extremely high up in the apostolic christian church of america appeared to be telling me that that wasn't indicative of a follower of jesus............but I totally believe it is. Jesus also overthrew the money changers tables. Jesus wasn't always like.........................pat pat little timmy, you have "commandments of men" at your church that's awesome................naw. Matthew 15:9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
This nice nice nice nice that this high up person in the apostolic christian church of america thinks is "christ like".........................................if jesus was to just let the pharisee's do what they want, and let all the commandments of men heeders do what they want and jesus just sat somewhere and smoked a bong pipe...............peace out buds....................that would be a much different jesus then the one in the bible. And that's the jesus this person high up in the apostolic christian church of america is trying to tell me is the real christ.
I love the real jesus christ!
I do all I can to follow in his footsteps (I ya fall short somedays we many us do many us not yet perfect Philippians 3:13 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do,forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,")
Did jesus love the pharisee's and want them very much to be saved - ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's because he loved them so much that he did warn them and sometimes they were warned very um maybe in a harsh way in the bible they were call "vipers" Matthew 3:7 "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" The writer of Matthew 3:7 wasn't worried at all about "hurting the pharisee's feelings" he was doing all he could to get through to them somehow. This talk this "word usage" wasn't like thought of as taboo...............
oh no you can't call some pharisee's vipers gotta take that out the bible............no it's right there in the bible so there was a slew of confronting the pharisee's that went on in the bible that was completely written in the bible.
Yes that one video was me being obnoxious, yes I put in 2 cards when the baby gift baskets were actually being handed out (before they piled them in a closet) I wrote in 2 them "ps..................here's my blog address please go to my blog it don't have much traffic : (
------------------- which both these things and many things I do sometimes are fantastically childish.
I am the sick I admit it, I have problems hence I need jesus! (sheri 2023 believes that their reaction is proof that they hated me - proof of what I "felt" often, this "we are pretending to be nice to your face but we hate your guts in reality" thing I did feel back then)
Mark 2:17 "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
That's all I am able to defend myself right now, I am exhausted.
I do love the apostolic christian church of america
Have a great week earth be nice to each other
be merciful towards each other
not just pretending bad things don't happen no restore your brother if you catch him in errorMatthew 18:15 "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother."
forgive love forgive love forgive love
this is my advice
jesus sure did confront the pharisee's though..................confronting people can be a "jesus thing" I may not of done it as well as it could've been done................I have 0 idea how i could've done it better????????????????????

Ms. Simmons classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose..............
So many pieces written by fellow bloggers about the decline of christianity.............it's hard to endure unto the end the devil he don't take naps..................1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
The devil I don't think he often visits us when we are "sober" and "vigilant" when we ARE ON FIRE FOR JESUS.................
The devil he comes and messes with us, maybe even devours us if he can.................when we have grown lukewarm, when we are NOT ON FIRE FOR THE LORD.......................
He looks at that unlighted match and thinks to himself "ha ha ha ha I am going to have a hayday now"
1 Peter 5:8"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
"The decline of christianity" just the idea of that...........................ain't no declinin in any of our lives less we give the devil some kind of chance!!!!!!!!!!!!
(just the wording "the decline of christianity" as if we are specimens in a petri dish - though I guess we pry are) I don't want to decline, or have any plans to decline.
Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." In my estimation hebrews 10:25 says make even more of a effort to not decline in these last days! I desire to not decline all kinds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All kinds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T DRAW BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DECLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hebrews 10:37-39 "For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
The facts is the people that the bible says will fall away either they weren't sold out for jesus christians in the 1st place, or they left their 1st love (Revelation 2:4) 2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
For many of us...................we know to listen to the christian music to help us all "walk in the holy spirit" in the day, and/or read our bibles...............to fellowship with one another....................I do believe a great deal of us actually do know how to be "sober and vigiliant" is it always easy - no. Especially maybe in these last days where there is so much to distract us...........................and it's to the point where nearly..............if you don't go to tumblr or you tube your like a "weirdo". Or pinterest. Go to those sites a bit might be ok, some "relax time" is good for everyone. It's risky though, any near friendship with the world............................cause the risk is there to end up loving some the things of the world I find.
It's far better to love the things God loves!
I love this bit of the bible so much.........................(our old hearts loved the things of this world, I believe our old hearts did have many a idol many a celebrity we put on a pedastle, god wants us all to have new hearts)
Ezekiel 36
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36 Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.
I get excited when I see picks of new tree's in isreal and how nice they are : ) but anybody out there that is a "desolate place" give your life to jesus verse 36 above........."I theLord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate:" You to can have a new heart, one that loves the things god loves. You do not have to remain......desolate! JESUS STILL IS IN THE SAVING BUISINESS................even if bloggers are right and christianity is on the """"""decline""""""
Have a great week earth!

don't worry Sheri 11/4/2023 knows people think I'm worthless satanic trash OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOME SUPPOSED CHRISTIANS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I CAN'T LOVE SATAN AND BE A CHRISTIAN AND THEY HAVE LAUGHED AT ME, AND THEY HAVE FULLY LEFT MY COMPANY "FOR JESUS"
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
HELL YOU CAN SEE THE "EVIL AGAINST ME ALL MANER OF" ALL MANNER OF, IN THE COMMENTS ON MY BLOG YOU JUST HAVE TO DIG A BIT FOR THEM.
DON'T WORRY SHERI 11/4/2023 IS CHILL BEING A NOBODY NOTHING.
DRINKING BUTTERLY PEA TEA, it's awesome right now. Honest I'd fully ignore sheri 2015 below whatever she gabbering off about, cause all that matters is WHAT WE DO IN LIFE, at least to other people. THOUGH TECHNICALLY WORDS ARE POWEFULL AND THIS BLOG AIN'T FOR NOTHING.........Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
I'm wrestling actively against the demonic strongholds of the apostolic christian church of america - and god showed me it isn't the people of the church that are the problem it's the demonic strongholds in that church that are causing me much grief.....................but I had a good time at the apostolic christian church of america in portland yesterday. Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." I'm not imaginarily in a wrestling match with the apostolic christian church of america I REALLY AM FOR REALS IN A WRESTLING MATCH WITH THE DEMONIC STRONGHOLDS OF THAT CHURCH!
1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not." This is what the word of god says "all things are lawful for me"
that includes bangs
beards
and plain wedding rings
I think a plain wedding ring DOES EDIFY we are living in a time where last I heard over half of all marriages end in a divorce to where a wedding ring says one of two things............
"I'm going to counseling trying to make my marriage work"...and/or just trying to make the marriage work out in general
"I'm happily married"
which I deem both those things to be very edifying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bible says Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." If the word of god is true and I believe it is, at any rate I think well if the insitutue of marriage is so honourable............I should always definately be able to wear a simple wedding band at the very least! That's how I really feel. And not only that the bible says "all things are lawful for me"
-------------- the apostolic christian church of america wants to via a "commandment of men" tell me wedding rings are forbidden for members of their church
---------------------------- But my bible says a wedding band is lawful............1 Corinthians 10:23 "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not." This is what the word of god says "all things are lawful for me"
Bangs, I don't think those are edifying........unless in the instance of me wearing them to take a stand against the "commandments of men" of the apostolic christian church of america.............in that instance I think bangs are edifying. Beards........to me they are a moot point..............beard hairs grow naturally out of guys, if god deemed beard hairs a evil horrible thing.........................he wouldn't of had beard hairs grow out of guys faces, but as it is beard hairs naturally grow out of probably like 90% of guys faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I plenty believe god's plenty ok with guys looking like ZZ top if they want to.............god ain't lookin at the outside of people..................people look at the outside of each other..............
but at the same time I do believe it is more edifying to not wear makeup
not have worldly hairstyles
have your hair modestly pulled back in a updo
(which I struggle with - I'M WEAK I'M A HUMAN I DO HAVE TO "WAGE A WAR AGAINST MY FLESH" SOMETIMES)
.........paul he said don't look at the things of the past................press forward to the high mark of our calling Philippians 3:13-14 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Now people are going to want to hold it against you that you messed up last week and probably not forgive you............but all you can do when you mess up is forget the mistake..........and press forward!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donate a wig to the goodwill yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully never do that again, pray, live in a way that I never hopefully do that again!!!!!!!!!!!! (edit 11-22-2018 below ps. all things are lawful, but I agree with myself a few months ago cause I was wearing wigs for "friendship with the world reasons" for less then stellar reasons, but there are legit reasons such as alopecia, going through chemo therapy etc.)
(photo I took today, lots of stripey sky lately..........I will say this stripey sky makes for cool photo's) UPDATE 2018:
Someone finally comented on this post, took a few years. And it looks to be all the apostolic christian church of america has left as far as "commandments of men" goes is they aren't allowing wedding rings still. I would like to discuss the "gold ring" bible verse 1 Peter 3:3 "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;" I 100% do not believe that is including wedding rings............it's saying don't go buy a bunch of fancy gold necklaces, and maybe even don't pile on lots of gold rings what god doesn't like is "worldliness" and I believe that is what god does not want his people to be involved in. A wedding ring I fully believe is completely ok......that's not what this verse is talking about. This verse is talking about don't be no regular at Zales jewelry store.................buying yourself this that and the other gold piece of jewelry.
To the pure all things are pure THAT'S THE WORD OF GOD! (I am battling the demons of the apostolic christian church of america I need large type)
Titus 1:15 "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled." Is a gold ring a "thing"??????? - yes (the correct answer all the demons in the apostolic christian church of america is yes)
is the word of god true?????? - yes is also the correct answer
Then surely wedding rings are plenty ok, especially in a instition (marriage) that god believes is really really a good thing! God is speaking about in 1 Peter 3:3 don't be decked out in the "ice" like a gangster!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great week earth!

I accept jesus as my lord and savior. But I am going with Lucifer once he get's to this earth. I don't want to die! I don't feel up to this point I've really lived life yet!
And I am rooting for Lucifer, he's a underdog like me. Trying his best I SWEAR IT, he's doing a job the job god created him to do cause John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Some you think Lucifer had some chance to repent - I DON'T SEE THOSE BIBLE VERSES?
Are the LGBTQ really all headed to hell? I HAVE HOPE FOR SOME OF THE LGBTQ 1 Corinthians 13:7 "Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things." If you believe all LGBTQ are headed to hell - how then do you have hope for them? (if you say go to church and a LGBTQ is sitting next to you with their partner the 2 of them never planning on becoming straight people ever maybe married 20 years or more - yet your deeming them "doomed to hell") HOW THEN DO YOU HAVE LOVE FOR THEM - FOR "CHARITY" LOVE "HOPETH ALL THINGS!
