I do not believe every church is "windy" I actually believe the apostolic christian church of america is pretty safe!...........(I do not take these words back in the year 2022 just know they once were greately into commandments of men, now they allow looks to be more people to wear wedding rings).....................

 Small update video 3/2/2022 my jaw is still broken - yikes (I do not know when or how it happened, it could've been one day eating orange chicken................but eating stiff food and biting to hard I ain't sure if that would break some of a persons jaw????????? So I'm not even sure when that or how that happened to me) My insurance supposed to call soon, they ain't yet. Me sitting around with a partially broken jaw --------- almost panicking.............almost. 

I do not believe every church is "windy" I actually believe the apostolic christian church of america is pretty safe! I'm chatting w/one my blogs fans.............he's right you gotta to be careful with churches/believers cause this stuffs EXISTS...................Ephesians 4:14 :That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
   Just this sunday it was preached at the apostolic christian church of america..................2 John 1:10-11 "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." How much of the body of christ really does believe that one needs to deny oneself in the day and take up their cross and follow jesus and not be walking in the flesh....................have instead ones flesh crucified to it's lusts and desires...........Galatians 5:24 "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (((((pretty nearly all the churches round me, appears to be anything goes ------------ you want to wear a bunch of jewelry hey cool beans do that it VERY MUCH LOOKS TO BE.................you want purple hair HEY GO RIGHT AHEAD it very much well looks to be to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------ I'm just saying that is what I have witnessed in a great deal of the body of christ this "anything goes" kinda thing)))))))))
 What the bible say it don't say be decked out in jewels........................1 Timothy 2:9 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, withshamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;"
  For reals ------------- if a sister was covered in jewels...............................I not sure she's bringing the "doctrine" 2 John 1:10-11 "and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house" I ain't sure about all that wearing of jewelry stuffs. (I still battle the jewelry thing.......................I see pieces of jewelry I like all the time ----------- honestly somedays I just clean don't go to the malls............my kids like "claire's" a jewelry store and there are somedays I just won't go to the mall at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
   The brothers of the apostolic christian church of america talk a lot about how the sisters of the church do look different --------- AND THEY DO ----------------- the truth is how they dress IS HOW ALL US WOMEN THAT ARE WAIT THE NEXT VERSE IN 1 TIMOTHY 2:10 "But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works." That's how we should dress, that's how we should want to dress, surely that is what "becometh women professing godliness with good works" if I'm professing godliness and good works and am decked with jewels (or not wearing modest apparel) IT'S NO GOOD FOR ME the jewels/immodest apparel would not add to my beauty BUT DETRACT I do believe.
 What sort of women look good with jewels/immodest apparel -------------- is it not the more.....................type?????????????? For them the jewels are needed to entice men, to lure them in.
   I getting sidetracked.................I'm pretty 100% the apostolic christian church of america isn't windy, I just don't think wind is everywhere!!!!!!! To me this verse connotes that wind isn't everywhere............that there really are non windy churches out there.........................Ephesians 4:13-15 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"

   And really, I like wearing my hair in a bun everyday these days, I don't like hair in my face. And I've gotten real good at sewing skirts..........................cut t-shirts fold them in half turn them into skirt waiste bands : ) modest apparel it can still be fun. 

   (((((((((really the only thing I battle apparel wise is I have 42DD that ain't low!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! having to buy some lace camisole inserts...............I'd rather though NOT have 42DD and not deal with all this ------- THEY REAL 100% if I had a choice I'd be plenty flat chested))))))))

 This stuffs is going to happen................Acts 20:29-30 "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them." I've lived a long time in fear and grew weary of that, of living in fear these days I don't live in fear but love....................1 John 4:18 "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

  I guess it's good to be mindful of the wolves that are going to attack all our churches................they don't scare me the wolves don't.....................I'm not afraid anymore. Our god is a awesome god.................as long as I am faithful he won't let my feet get ensared or what have you........................

Proverbs 3:

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Psalm 24:1-5 "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation." ARE YOU HANDS DIRTY TODAY THEY CAN BE CLEANSED......................James 4:8 "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." 

Psalm 41:1 "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble."...................

Love a Child I watch this show on daystar tv, and right now 3/2022 when I'm updating this blog post some, there was a earthquake in haiti, and they gave the people tents to live in, cause many of their houses were destroyed, and now they are raising money to build earthquake proof houses...............I think that's cool 😁👍

If you ask me the greatest acts of love are UNSEEN (but I think sometimes definately felt/experienced)............................

Bold type is Sheri 2/19/2022 

This week I blogged about socialism 

https://givingittogod.blogspot.com/2022/02/today-while-shabbating-i-listened-to.html

I am at the very least not against some "socialist ideas" 

I definately for 1 believe health care should be something everyone just has. 

like we should just have education

and roads without potholes in them

and healthcare

Jesus is a socialist I'm sure of that

Matthew 19:21 "Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."

Luke 8:14 "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."

I think a great deal of the body of christ believes that if you love the brethren w/a unfeinged love (not faked, not put on) that that is going to mean that you will be having lot's of brother's and sister's over to your house often (hey going by part the sermon WHICH WAS A EXCELLENT SERMON at the apostolic christian church of america in portland this weekend this is at least a bit the case) But if you ask me the greatest acts of love ARE UNSEEN................................PRAYING FOR EACH OTHER AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL..........................laying down your life. John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." I do want to love everyone like that!!!!!!!!!! I really do want to love love love love my enemies pray for them, LOVE bear good fruit just good fruit. Forgiving having mercy for one another I think that to is a act of immense love......................why is god so willing to forgive BECAUSE HE LOVES US..............not that any us should desire to take god's mercies for granted but rather to give our lives to the lord jesus christ, and to love one another. To be fruitful to be bearing the good fruit, to not do our own wills but instead.............Psalm 143:10 "Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness." (Romans 12:2 ".............good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God")
 My ideas about love have quite a bit changed over the years....................love if you really love someone a lot --------- you will love them even when you know they are completely wrong!!!!!!!!!! You will hope for them WHEN THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY HOPE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charity "love" 1 Corinthians 13:8 "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." Never fails I find, when it is true. (not feigned, faked)
  Are any us perfect out there????????????? Few pry few. The bond of perfectness....................IT IS LOVE. Colossians 3:14 "And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness." I want that I want that perfectness, to love fully and to never stop. I believe in love......................................and I believe in the power of love!
 I have experienced love at the apostolic christian church and the body of christ at large.............it's good! Gotta go, chinese dinner night : )

LOVE

me reading "The Harbinger" this week

(you know in the year 2/19/2022 cause this is future sheri speaking on a old blog post) 

This book is getting good : ) 

I have found offenses they do happen at churches whilst following jesus clean FIERY TRIALS HAPPEN.......................

Fresh 2/17/2022 update video : )....................

Nehemiah 8:10 "Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

I have found offenses they do happen at churches whilst following jesus clean FIERY TRIALS HAPPEN......................just keep going, keep following jesus. (maybe that person had a bad day - probably - maybe they were demon possessed at the time the bible does say................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.") There are legions of demons out there clean legions the bible talks about Mark 5:9 "And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many." When I hear about bad things happening on the news some of which as of last year I can't even imagine, like I still am not able to process in my mind what happened at "sandy hook elementary" one thing I can like recogn with myself is the darkness is real. (but god/jesus/holy spirit also WAY REAL)
     1 Peter 4:11-13 "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." If your following jesus I greately recogn.....................YOU WILL HAVE STRUGGLES THEY WON'T BE AVOIDABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP FOLLOWING JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark 4:17 "And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended."
if you believe in christ and the way he paved enough - you won't give up,
Hebrews 10:39 "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
  If there's legions of demons out there and there is, and you start to follow jesus and walk in faith.....................gates of hell pry will come after you pry a 1 Peter 4:11-13 "fiery trail which is to try you"......................DON'T GIVE UP!

Exodus 20:12 "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."..................

I'm pretty sure my mom will like these butterfly yard stakes

there's like 24 of them 

and their wings flap in the wind 😁👍

Jesus is serious I have found out when he said you'd receive in this life 100 fold mothers.Mark 10:29-31........

Sheri 2022 update video: Sheri 2013 was like not just "drinking the koolaide" but swimming in it. Not that god's word ain't true but right now - not only am I not at hundred mothers (as I seem to be so hyped about in 2013............my real mom be's hardly e-mailing me - she thinks I'm a satan worshipper it does look to be that's the "concensious" of my family according to my neice and my cousin's wife a person can't love lucifer and be a christian)

(ps I'm not a apostle, people had told me I was a apostle, several people they prayed over me to

but I'm not

but back when this blog post was written I really believed I was a apostle)

(latest thing I tole painted, my design, me practicing flowers fun : ) 

Jesus is serious I have found out when he said you'd receive in this life 100 fold mothers Mark 10:29-31 "And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first." Today my biological mother and a older then me christian sister that is definately for sure a mother to me............they both told me that this other sister that's also older then me (ya see a 100 fold mother trend going on hahahahahahahahah) at the portland apostolic christian church of america WAS ALSO PLENTILY BEING A MOTHER TO ME THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   I told mike, ron, john and my aunt connie cause this 100 fold mother thing is like a crisis to me -------- which is me being ridiculous..........bible says it's good to have a "multitude of counselors" YOU HAVE A HUNDRED FOLD MOTHERS THAT'S A MULTITUDE RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proverbs 11:14
"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety."
   And then on a complete earth scirge spree I told mike, ron, john and my aunt connie, that at least the good news is there is only like 5-10 older then me sisters at the apostolic christian church of america in portland...............maybe probably least 50 in the apostolic christian church of silverton but most weeks I go to portland.....................so at least that is like only 5-10 mothers that on a continual weekly some them few times a week basis. 100 fold in this lifetime, like the over time tally 100 is.
  I also noted in Mark 10:29-31 jesus says "............with persecutions" jesus was very thourough and honest..........you follow him you get hundred fold all that stuffs!
   But this is how it is supposed to be in the body of christ it's supposed to be knit together working together as a family a really really big family (really big) Ephesians 4:16 "From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which everyjoint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
  gotta go sew now sewing shorts for my kids that they are loving, w/ties on the bottom of them in fancy fabrics. Have a great day earth!

Psalm 41:1 "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble."........

I'm learning lately the value of being merciful, forgiving people....................

Small update 1/28/2022 video...........My advice is just forgive people, forgive and forget if you can manage that, if you can't "forget" try and forgive is my advice. Because people are jealous out there, they are often acting out of jealousy. The photo below I done cropped out my face, I was so overweight back then...........even back then there were people CRAZY JEALOUS of me. They don't know the plan god has for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.".................

(I painted this saturday at my tole painting club, original piece is by Cathy Schmidt - best cat painting I ever painted in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I'm learning lately the value of being merciful, forgiving people....................I told the elder of the apostolic christian church of america today for both portland and silverton oregon in a e-mail today..............I know what the pastors are up against CAUSE I'M UP AGAINST THAT TO...............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." Satan has personally visited me trying to tempt me and talk me into stuff (not often BUT IS HAS HAPPENED) and I am well aware of the war that I'm in against the demons...............................for we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood.........

but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world

The pastors in the world that get up and preach on sundays THEY IN THIS WAR TO..............they ain't necessarily always winning either!!!!!!!! (or not winning all the time I greately estimate)

   That's a lot to be wrestling against...............that isn't a small tiny war "...........but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" BIG WAR LOT'S OF DEMONS OUT THERE AND THEY AIN'T NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! 

   But even on a smaller scale people often aren't perfect out there.........................I see a need for me to be ongoingly merciful this verse man stokes me up with zeal to show mercy to keep at that...............

Proverbs 21:21 "He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour."

  Matthew 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." For sure there are days I need people to be merciful towards me, there are days I need that A RIDICULOUS SLEW! 

   I think perfection is obtainable probably the goal, but for a great deal of us I think it's a process.............Hebrews 6:1 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God"

   There is a great deal I do not know...................I've came to realize it's bestest we forgive one another, we really be merciful towards one another LOVE one another GATHER IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luke 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen dothgather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!" God is ABUNDANT IN MERCY Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he willabundantly pardon." HE'S WAITING FOR SOME YOU OUT THERE TO PRAY...........to seek god's mercy, to come to repentance to turn from your sin........................1 Timothy 2:3-5 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"

LOVE

Proverbs 11:23-25 "The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself."...............

Living for satan I'm convinced is NEVER a win..................

Mini Sheri from 1/17/22 claus added before this post all things are pure ok, at the time I wrote this I was attending the apostolic christian church of america and trying to "fit in" and that didn't work out. (they don't but maybe watch at least over here the west coast 1 movie maybe a day at that church - if that on the internet, no people owning tv's that I know of in the apostolic christian church of america on the west coast) Philippians 4:5 "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand." Many things can be bad if you abuse them and tv is one of those things. But some tv depending on the shows you are watching can be beneficial. These days for instance I love watching documentaries, well you can learn a lot watching documentaries. 

  original post...............
Living for satan I'm convinced is never a win.........never a good idea................told god in prayer last night...................mercy, love, gentleness, humbleness.......................THINGS GOTTEN FOLLOWING JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! GOD'S FRUIT ISN'T GOTTEN LIVING IN SIN!!!!!!!!!!! Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,"
What happens to people who do not follow jesus.......................BAD FRUIT.......................Jude 1:13 "Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever."
John 15:4 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me"

  low and behold earth

I am winning NOT watching tv!!!!!!!!!

Last night I had a nightmare I watched some tv it was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FELT TORTURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I started praying to god feeling all condemned............please help me not watch tv anymore (prayed that out loud though - talk in my sleep sometimes ------------- eventually I figure out oh wait I'm talking in my sleep again).
$60 a month my husband pays for that sattelight tv EPIC RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some people out there with a bit more self control some tv can be ok....................1 Corinthians 7:31 "And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away." if you used the tv without abusing it, if you watched like just 1 hour a tv a day or something and not such worldy shows. BUT I AIN'T ABLE TO DO THAT ------------ I CRACK I ALWAYS CRACK AND I END UP WATCHING GOBS OF TV AND IT'S BAD...................FOR ME TV IS LIKE A FOOT OFFENDING ME I NEED TO CHOP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark 9:45 "And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:"

   I not sure fruit can be faked???????????????? Wolves put on sheeps clothing but they still wolves inside. I'd really rather have goodness inside...............Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith," HAVE LOVE FOR PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE

I not sure there is some middle ground for people on this earth this verse right here sounds like jesus is going to divide the sheep and the goats like you will be either one or the other.........your going to either love people and care about the poor and do good bear fruit have love have loveeeeeeeeeeeeee..................................or not....................

Matthew 25

³³ And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

³⁵ For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

³⁶ Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

³⁸ When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

⁴¹ Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

⁴² For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Numbers 24:9 "He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee." It is good to bless Israel...........
