GOODNESS FROM GOD LEADS TO REPENTANCE ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

DON’T ABUSE THE GRACE OF GOD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
DON’T ABUSE THE GRACE OF GOD
By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Theres a time for everything, and I don’t know, maybe its because I am older, maybe its because I have been around the block a few times, I see the abuse, of grace, and hypocrisy of so many, who think they can do what they want, say what they want, live the way, they want, and there are no consequences.
Its like there is no fear of God…. Even pastors undermine it. I have heard so much on the matter, and have just shook my head. Because I have taken those scriptures literally. I fear God.
Yes reverence is a great thing, but if you do not fear the consequences of your actions, your words, your own heart that deceives you….. Your on the wrong team. If you do not fear the one who has the power to put your soul in heaven or hell. Your missing it. Seriously.
I do take every word of my King James Bible to heart. And sometimes, I look at those who are my brothers and sisters in Christ, but we don’t seem to have the same father. If you get my drift…..
You see my father, is Holy, and righteous. But He is mighty in strength. He is not mocked. He is patient, kind, and merciful, but He does not condone, or accept behavior, or a spirit, that is not of Him, and what produces is a corruption, that He knows, is the root from the devil himself. He keeps His word. He is terrible, when He wants to be. And yes that word, is scriptural. His ways are of excellence. Holiness, that cannot be compared to anyone, or anything….
Yes, He tells us, that the wheat and tares will grow together. And sad so many of us are growing together, yet apart. In other words, we who truly do want to please God, do everything in our hearts, in our actions to please God. I would go so far to say even in the Bibles we read. We will be separated…..
For those wheat and tares will be separated, when Christ returns. Remember He has said, that many will say Lord, Lord, but He will say depart. I never knew you. Why? Because they never knew Him.
To question, to reason, to even think about it, without obeying God immediately, could be considered disobedience in His eyes.
But He gives grace, but some day that grace runs out. Can we not see that? Time is a gracious thing He gives. But in this time, we need to do everything in our own choices, and power to line up to His truth.
It actually scares me, how I need to guard my own heart. How I need to be obedient, and careful. A soul is a precious thing…My soul, I am responsible for.
I don’t reason it any more. Nor question it. I accept it. As His truth, His holy truth.
I get that check in my spirit, when its not Him. When it is not God almighty. I get that discernment. Its a gift. He has given me. I know that I know when it is Him, and when it is not. I think the loss of not knowing that, is being misguided. Misled, and deceived.
And I pray, never to offend God so I do not lose that. It is abusing grace, when He says… Thou shalt not… Or whatever word, He commands. You see, we cannot just pick and choose some word, over other Holy word.
Yes grace is a wonderful thing. But I never want to abuse it in vain, knowing what Christ did for me.
To each their own I say…. live and let live.
Because really, I don’t want to judge anybody. But I love you enough to say, don’t believe the lie.
Don’t…..
Have a blessed day, Elena Ramirez~Just My Thoughts~Christian Author & Inspirational Speaker

EXCELLENCE GO FOR IT ALWAYS…..By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
EXCELLENCE KEEP GROWING, LEARNING, CHANGING FOR THE LORD…..ALWAYS!
I want to remind you in love, to inspire you…to do things in excellence. To give it the best you have. To not get lazy, or to take things for granted, because life can pass us all by so quickly.
Now this is not to criticize anyone either, because we all need grace. We are not perfect, we all sin, we all come short of the glory of God. I know, my imperfections.
But I also have this desire, to do the best I can for my Lord, with what I have. To never, give up. To keep on learning, and growing, and finding new opportunities, to serve Him, and to discipline myself.
Yes, discipline yourself. God is excellent. And I just think, sometimes, you cannot just merely exist, to survive. But you must try to thrive, in who He is.
When I ponder on who He is, it gives me the desire to be so much better…. To do more, to see fruit. To make a difference for others, and for Him. Because love grows when we know Him.
There is so much we can do for the Kingdom of God. Theres so many lost people. There are so many terrible, examples in life. That I think many of us can get desensitized. Walking wounded.
Well be different. Be one of those who makes a change. Be one of those who brings unity. And is a peacemaker. Be used by God, my friends.
Give it all you got, learn, and keep learning. Put that Holy King James scripture in your heart, and make a difference.
Have no regrets. Just try. And every day, use it as an opportunity for the glory of God.
Share this and be an inspiration maybe to someone…..
Blessings, and love, Elena

DEPART FROM DARKNESS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
DEPART FROM DARKNESS…..
Sometimes, the Lord, gives us signs, and wonders, and a light will be revealed to guide us. This photo, and the scripture, I pray will do that. Where the light will pierce, the darkness, and you will see truth.
I believe God is calling us to see truth, and if I could impress on you even now, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to turn from darkness, and seek His light, then I am doing my job.
There are some of you, who love the darkness. You claim you are a Christian, yet, you reveal fruit, that exposes your fascination, with the occult, with Halloween, with things that go bump in the night.
To each their own. But I tell you, in love, the love of Christ, that was shed on the cross for each one of us.
Do not play with darkness. Do not desire the things of darkness, they are deceiving. They will blind you, and I truly believe they bring curses. According to scripture.
God is a jealous God, He does not want your heart tempted by these things. He warns us.
Please take this as a warning. Please see this in yourself. You see, if you cannot be trusted, by God in these matters. How can other Christians believe your light is true? After all the enemy, can transform himself into light.
I don’t trust that spirit. If I have seen darkness in you, the things of darkness, that you embrace. I don’t believe your walk in Christ is truth.
I have actually broken ties off with friends, who have embraced darkness. And they see no harm in it. I do.
And if you love God, you will depart from evil, REPENT, and it will be health to you. I truly believe that.
Now is a time, for making it right with God. Today could be your chance to ensure your Salvation. Just see and know. Don’t take a chance on losing the Kingdom of God. As your eternal place……

THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD….
We are all attracted to beauty. We all long to be beautiful. But there is such a fine line, between beauty and pride, that we can cross it so easily. Life is not always easy for some of us.
Some things, come easier to some. But what I have learned, is if I search for the beauty of the Lord, I will find it. And it will also affect me. Not proud beauty, not boastful beauty. But a beauty that affects the soul. With peace, joy, and just a sense of awe. So much so, you want to give God glory. Thanks….
I am talking about the beauty of just who He is, and in His creation. Its in these moments, that I search for Him, that I find Him and I am refreshed in my spirit.
I am reminded, of His holiness, and goodness, and compassion, that just does something for my soul. The many beautiful attributes of our Lord, can sometimes just be found by releasing ourselves to Him, and sitting at His feet.
To give Beauty for ashes. So He may be glorified.

THE SOWER SOWS THE WORD DO YOU? ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
I love how God has taught me by sowing His word. I write it, and use it as a foundation for most of my thoughts.
As a writer, and when I began as I wrote most of my poetry, “A Message of Hope.” I began writing scripture down as the foundation, to build a message.
I mean after all, how can I be an authority, unless I can prove it with scripture? So, that began it for me. I needed truth.
Its ironic, how He teaches us, as we sow the word. Its like a harvest of fruit. You are after all, are growing on the vine with Christ, so you will produce fruit. So you share the extra fruit. It does you no good, if you keep it to yourself. You write it, you speak it, you sow it….
But as you sow it, you also receive it. In so many ways. It nourishes you spiritually. It blesses you, you begin to sense truth, knowledge, understanding, by the Holy Spirit. The truth of Gods word truly becomes alive, and the more, and more you search, and sow it, in others lives, who also get truth, you grow. They grow.
And in this all, as I sow Gods Holy word, my King James Bible, I hear His voice.
That voice, belongs to my Lord, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, who I love. This is the sweetest voice I have ever heard, and there is none like it. This voice of my Lords is my constant companion, friend, and counselor. There is such a great power in the word.
It goes wherever he chooses, and wherever it is sent, it will not return void. It will accomplish what He chooses. From healings, to comfort, to wisdom to the many great things scripture can do, I have learned how precious Holy word is so I have become to know:
I AM A SOWER OF THE KJV WORD.
Just a thought, but as a secret if you want to grow, in who He is. With Confidence….Sow the word.
Theres plenty of word. We all need it in our lives. You would be surprised who you touch with just a scripture that comes from the throne of God.
You can be a sower too….
FOR AS THE RAIN COMETH DOWN, AND THE SNOW FROM HEAVEN, AND RETURNETH NOT THITHER, BUT WATERETH THE EARTH, AND MAKETH IT BRING FORTH AND BUD, THAT IT MAY GIVE SEED TO THE SOWER, AND BREAD TO THE EATER: SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT. ISAIAH 55:10-11. KJV.

FAITH NEEDS YOUR PARTICIPATION ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Faith is such a beautiful thing to have, but you have your part in it. You see when life, challenges any of us, we have a choice. If that choice, is not totally committed, to believe in what God can do, we can lose faith.
Sin, can hinder our faith. Because we are not taking into consideration the spiritual implications of disobeying Father. We are not in fear of Him.
Something blinds us, when sin is present. We cannot see clearly. Or we would not sin to begin with.
We need to practice, what we believe, even in small matters.
Faith pleases God….
For me, it has been believing, even though, I have not seen progress, in my own life. The progress, that may come so easy to others. Yet, I know spiritually I have grown. By my King James Bible, and prayer, and just continuing on, what God has called me to do.
Theres a strength, that I know I have. I sharpen myself, by sharing with others, His truth, and by just holding onto God, a little tighter. How can one express that, but by only doing it?
Doing whatever it takes, because when you let go of God, you let go of faith. No, that is never the answer. It takes commitment, to have faith, to see God work.
He never changes. We do….
There are principles to having faith. I know it….
Blessings, and love,
Elena

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR DAY TODAY? By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Its a new day, a new beginning, to give Praise, Glory, Honor, to our Lord. To be reminded, of His tender mercies, His kindness, His generosity, His healing, His love and kindness, He extends through Christ our savior. Precious is this gift we are given. This thing called life. And precious is the blood that was shed for our sins. May we ever all be mindful of Him. I pray, so for me, and for you. I believe God has forgiven me of my sins. But sometimes, I do think about how foolish I was in my sins. I think about how I never want to be away from our Lord. And yet, sin, separates us from Him. This is scriptural. If I could impress on anybody this, to get right with Him, then perhaps, I can make it up to our Lord. To truly give Him glory. To acknowledge Him, as we are called to do. Repent friends, don’t let sin, or anything else separate you from Him. Including people. Some folks, are just bad influences. To say the least. Because there is no fellowship with darkness. If you are in the light. See how precious your relationship is with Christ. Be blessed.

DID YOU FORGET GOD SEES EVERYTHING YOU DO? By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
I think because God is silent, we can forget He is watching every move we make. We forget, that even our blessings are dependent on what He sees, and hears from us. The good, and the evil.
Its a strange deception, when one, believes, they are doing right, yet, there is no fruit in it. How easily, we can be misled. How actually frightening it is, to believe in someone, or something, and yet there is nothing of God in it.
I know wisdom has taught me, that I must constantly, keep my thoughts, in check. So I go back to my KJV Bible to look.
I must discipline myself, to not wander off. In what I think, or believe. That my faith, in order to produce fruit, must be sensitive to my Lord Jesus. In fear of God, because to be honest, I have seen the consequences of when I chose wrong, or believed wrong.
I am reminded, yes the eyes of God are every where. Even when we don’t think He cares, or sees. He does. And He does care, He does see, with Love. And even sadness, when we choose wrong.

YOU CAN FIND FAITH, AND YOUR ANSWER JUST DON’T GIVE UP…..PHOTOGRAPHY AND POETRY BY ELENA RAMIREZ
I wrote this, as my glasses fell off of my head. And I knew that they were in the immediate area, but could not see them. And I felt the Lord say, your faith is there, your answer is there, just keep at it. You will find it….and it made me think. We cannot give up. God is able….to His glory, He is able. Don’t give up.
I pray, you are encouraged in your faith. Wherever you may be. Just don’t ever, ever give up. Keep trusting God. Your answer will be found, in believing…..

YOUR GIFT TODAY COMES IN DIFFERENT PACKAGES ~ ELENA RAMIREZ CHRISTIAN PHOTOGRAPHY AND POETRY
Gifts sometimes come in different packages…
I have heard the saying before, that our lives are a gift from God.
But what we do with our lives, is our gift back to God.
So how do we see ourselves as a gift to God?
Sometimes, we don’t have to see it.
Just as long as we try to give in His name.
With whatever we may have.
To help others a long the way….
And to show, Jesus is that way.
Much love, Elena Ramirez
