CHEER ME UP COLORS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
So this morning, I was in the mood to paint. But the colors I chose did not satisfy me. I chose coppers, golds, and they just did not flow. I gave up, but then decided to try again. This is my third try.
These are the other paintings I did, (below) but they actually depressed me. I had a vision, of the colors, but they just did not turn out the way, I saw them.
Maybe you like them. I know art is in the eyes of the beholder. All paintings here on this page are 16X20. They are for sale, just inquire. I might just put the bottom one on sale. Just ask.
But I want to encourage you. Don’t give up. I know sometimes, we get discouraged in life, but trust God, HE will get you through.
Art for me is now an outlet. One that I did not have till this year, but when I discovered it, it was like a gift God gave me to get me through some hard times.
And I like it. I just have learned, don’t give up.
Be cheered on. God can give you joy.
Love in Christ, Elena Ramirez

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO BE READY FOR AN ANSWER TO PRAYER? ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez

A THOUGHT ABOUT JUDGING ~ NONE OF US ARE WORTHY TO JUDGE~ BY CHRISTIAN AUTHOR ELENA RAMIREZ
A THOUGHT ABOUT JUDGING… NONE OF US ARE WORTHY TO JUDGE….
Maybe if we just prayed for someone instead of attacking, criticizing, judging them it would change the situation. Yes criticizing is a form of judging. Or do we forget that? Do we forget ALL of us sin, we come short of the glory of God? I dont care how seasoned you are as a Christian. No one is worthy to be called holy, or to act “holier than thou.” Sadly the ones who should know better do not. WE ALL SIN AND COME SHORT OF HIS GLORY! That humbles me to be careful. It scares me in Fear of God. Let’s talk about the fear of God. Yes sin is sin… how it hurts us. But we cross a line if we use that as an excuse to hurt and judge others with words, actions that cause division. Please think about this.

WHAT GRIEVES GOD? By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
What Grieves God?
I truly believe, not believing Him.
Obeying Him. Not taking His Holy KJV word to heart. And Speaking it. Not giving Him glory, honor and praise.
Being silent. When we have the opportunity to
praise Him. Being selfish. Things that
are characteristics of the enemy. That are not attributes
of Christ.
In love, compassion. Little things you may
think…. But to God they are so important.
For they are the things that express what a soul is, that does not consider what grieves God.
And how sad for He gives life, He blesses, and some do not even know the difference to be mindful of these things…
AND GRIEVE NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF REDEMPTION. EPHESIANS 4:30 KJV.

GOD COULD MAKE YOU OBEY BUT HE IS A GENTLEMAN ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
`
God could make any one of us obey. And believe me, He has His ways, of showing us truth, and giving us chances. His mercy, amazes me. His kindness, His easy going temperament, that does not fly off the handle.
He waits….
I thank Him, for teaching me every single thing I know. But I use it for His glory. It has been a process. But I will be honest, I was headed for hell. I know it now. The choices I made, the decisions, I did without His counsel, or His will in it. Cost me heavily. Cost me so much, that yes I grieve. For those losses.
But I will say it here, I am thankful to God that He showed me the difference. Because seriously without that difference, I would not have the discernment I have. I would not have the sense of who He is on the throne.
I had to learn.
I am not going to give a long analogy of this. I just know it. But I will say, yes, He could make us do anything. At a moments notice. In a blink of an eye. We never know. What true guarantee do we have in this world without Him? None.
To take chances without His protection is something I cannot even fathom. For I know the difference. I could give testimony after testimony….
God is not mocked. I will repeat this! GOD IS NOT MOCKED!
So for any of us to take a chance to disobey God. To not heed the warnings. Is playing with life. Playing with salvation. Not believing the truth is stupid. For there are those who should know better but they don’t heed it.
He knows our hearts friends. Don’t act like you love God, and hate your brother and sister. Don’t say you are a Christian, but your fruit reveals the enemies characteristics. Don’t fool yourself. You are fooling yourself if you think there are no repercussions. There will be. Maybe not now. But there will be.
I think a wise person, looks at who they are, in Christ, and truly studies our Lord. His attributes, His ways, and what He stood for, and they ask God for the mind of Christ. You hunger and thirst for righteousness.
In His sight, truly we all lack. We all miss it. You are reading my thoughts, but I know it for myself.
And that grieves me. But He loved me and pulled me out of the mud. Called sin.
Yes, He could make any of us do whatever He wants. But he tries us, tests us, and sees who we really are. It takes time sometimes.
Maybe its time for you. You are at the place right now, where you are tired of just existing. Why?… because you have been resisting the only true one who could change your life. But you think you have it figured out. Think again. His name is Jesus.
He is the one who He chooses to approach Him to serve Him. He does not make you. But if you really do want to serve Him. Remember repentance clears the slate. So does apologizing to a brother or a sister in Christ.
Its a step…. In the right direction.
To understand. To obey. You need discernment. That comes from wisdom You speak what Father speaks, not what the world speaks. That is not wisdom. And that includes your Bible. I do believe in the Holiness, and anointing of the King James. He has proven it to me, time and time again.
This is not a lecture. I am just someone who chooses to obey Him. So I speak it to give it merit. But I don’t try to make anybody do anything they don’t want. I say to each their own.
But I know God deals with my enemies. And I know, that to please Him, requires total submission to God, to reject the enemy and to obey. I know it.
Its ironic, those that are handed the blessing down, do not understand how important it is, because they abuse it.
It is for those who received His true mercy in repentance in humbleness, are aware how precious our Salvation is, and who HE is. We do not take chances.
The fear of God, compels me to tell you this in love. His love.
We love Him, because He first loved us. I John 4:19 KJV.
Your corrupt bible won’t say that, it will say something different. You might want to check it out.
Thank you my Lord Jesus.
So just sharing my thoughts today. Be blessed.
In Christ, Elena Ramirez
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY SAVED IS ALWAYS SAVED WHEN GODS WORD SAYS NO? By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY SAVED IS ALWAYS SAVED WHEN GODS WORD SAYS NO?
By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
I have just a few words to say….
REPENT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
And share this with someone, you might save a soul….
ITS NOT UP FOR DEBATE. WHEN GOD SAYS IT!
BUT WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS TURNETH AWAY FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMITTETH INIQUITY, AND DOETH ACCORDING TO ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT THE WICKED MAN DOETH, SHALL HE LIVE? ALL HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT HE HATH DONE SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED: IN HIS TRESPASS THAT HE HAT TRESPASSED, AND IN HIS SIN THAT HE HATH SINNED, IN THEM SHALL HE DIE. EZEKIEL 18:24 KJV.
WHEN THE BODY OF CHRIST CONFUSES JUDGING WITH WARNING ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
WHEN THE BODY OF CHRIST CONFUSES JUDGING WITH WARNING ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Sometimes I wonder, what do you have to do to get someone to see the truth? So I pray….Its not easy, sometimes. The enemy has done a number on so many people. And even good people. Who think you are judging them. When yet, in love you are warning them.
There are many things I try to warn people about. Like…Bad bibles, that are corrupted, and compromised. I try to warn them about not accepting people, who have also compromised their beliefs. I try to warn people to really discipline yourself, and obey God. Because I have reaped my own sins, and it breaks my heart.
So if I can prevent someone from making the same mistakes and sins, then I would be joyful. I try to warn people because I was deceived. And have been deceived by the enemy. Been there done that, and I hurt myself.
And if you learn anything from me, please learn to repent. Repent daily. Repent because we can miss it. Being humble, in the sight of God is so important. And this pride from the enemy deceives so many.
YES REPENT!
The list could go on….
But what is very sad, is that many get on their high horse, and want to fight you. When we should be on the same side. The side of the Lord….
Well its what we are called to do. If we are obeying God. Warning others… Look we are in end times. We are so close to the wrath of God. And prophecy is coming true. If we cannot see it, its because we don’t want to see it. But God is not mocked. And we need to get our head out of the sand.
I want you to look at these scriptures very carefully. We are called to warn the wicked. And if we do, we deliver our own souls. His soul may die, but we have delivered our own souls. I am paraphrasing this holy scripture. But thats what it says….
Then look at verse 20 from Ezekiel 3 it says, when a righteous person, turns from his righteousness, and sins, commits, iniquity, he shall die.
Because you, as a Christian did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and the righteousness he did will not be remembered. Says a lot about losing salvation, if you get my drift. Don’t take your salvation for granted. WORK IT OUT IN FEAR OF GOD!
But you will be required to have warned him. If the righteous person learns from this and sins, not, he shall live, but you shall live as well. (paraphrased) So before you attack someone who is trying to hold the cross up, remember these scriptures.
They may very well be trying to warn you, but you think they are judging them.
Yesterday, I was in a conversation with a very belligerent soul, who wanted to argue with me. We were talking about this election, about voting, etc. I told him straight out that we do need to get right with God, and repent, and that if we did not, we could face destruction, and the wrath of God. As a nation.
And his reaction was that my truth was a lie. And he said, your not a prophet. No, I am not a prophet was my response, and I have never claimed to be.
You see, I acquaint many prophets, that are “profits” and I learned early its not about money. Its about Gods truth.
I am concerned about our country. I am concerned, about the misconceptions many have. I don’t claim to be this or that. What ever God calls me to do, and qualifies me to do. I am going to do it, according to His truth.
I am going to do it according to His Holy King James bible truth. And not some bible that is corrupted, and compromised, and not taken the many scriptures to heart that we are not to change or add to them. And I am not going to follow a high profile leader, who is blind, and also leading the blind.
I learned a long time ago many of these leaders, don’t have a clue. So I won’t follow them. I follow Jesus. I report to God. Not people.
To each their own I say. If that doesn’t show you I am not judging you. I don’t know what will. But I will tell you the truth. And I will in His way be obedient to God, and save my own soul.
Its just a matter of listening to truth, or rejecting it. I just so happen to want to reject all the lies.
I never want to take for granted what Christ did on that cross for me. I am grateful for my salvation, for I know the difference.
Be blessed friends. I hope you take this as a warning, and not judgment. Ezekiel three and Ezekiel 33 give plenty of warnings. Please read them from a King James.
YET IF THOU WARM THE WICKED, AND HE TURN NOT FROM HIS WICKEDNESS, NOR FROM HIS WICKED WAY, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS INIQUITY; BUT THOU HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL. AGAIN, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOTH TURN FROM HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, AND I LAY A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE HIM, HE SHALL DIE; BECAUSE THOU HAST NOT GIVEN HIM WARNING, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH HE HATH DONE SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED: BUT HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND. NEVERTHELESS IF THOU WARN THE RIGHTEOUS MAN, THAT THE RIGHTEOUS SIN NOT, AND HE DOTH NOT SIN, HE SHALL SURELY LIVE, BECAUSE HE IS WARNED; ALSO THOU HAST DELIVERED THY SOUL. EZEKIEL 3:19-21

WHAT PLEASED GOD THAT HE BLESSED JOB AND NOT HIS FRIENDS? ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
WHAT PLEASED GOD THAT HE BLESSED JOB AND NOT HIS FRIENDS? ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez.
So what did Job do, what did he say that God was pleased with, but not with His friends?
That he actually had wrath toward them. The photo scripture reference I am sharing tells us that God did speak that to them.
Well the answer is also in scripture. that I will give, at the end of this post.
But I want to talk about friends, relationships, judging others, mocking others, and actually attacking friends. I want to talk about loyalty, to God and to others. Even loyalty to God and country….
I want to talk about being careful not to attack someone who is holding the cross of Christ, and not being cross with those who are doing the work of the Lord.
And maybe this will all be tied together….
Job had really a lot to contend with if we know the story. Job, was a blessed man, a man that feared God, but God tested him. And even the devil questioned that, by his questions to God.
THEN SATAN ANSWERED THE LORD, AND SAID DOTH JOB FEAR GOD FOR NOUGHT? HAST NOT THAT MADE AN HEDGE ABOUT HIM, AND ABOUT HIS HOUSE, AND ABOUT ALL THAT HE HATH ON EVERY SIDE? THOU HAST BLESSED THE WORK OF HIS HANDS, AND HIS SUBSTANCE IS INCREASED IN THE LAND. BUT PUT FORTH THINE HAND NOW, AND TOUCH ALL THAT HE HATH, AND HE WILL CURSE THEE TO THY FACE. JOB 1:9-11. KJV.
Notice something. The fear of God that Job had, and how the devil had to ask permission, to attack, because he knew the hedge was about him. Do you fear God?
Do you know that hedge we now have is the blood of Jesus, as our protection? We do need to claim it. In fact, we need to plead it, about us. I do. More then ever.
Yes, the devil wants us to depart from God, he would love for us to curse God. And we are all tested. And if you know the story further, you know Jobs friends, were brought in, to add more conflict on a mans life, that was struggling to keep it all together. He was so close to falling apart, with all he was dealing with.
We never know…what someone is dealing with….
Recently, I was challenged, by my relationships with friends. It seemed like I could do no good, or to please them. Perhaps, I was being tested….
I saw this with many, many, friends, and relationships. It was like the hedge was removed. I found myself, in a few relationships with some, that felt they could tell me mean things, insult me, or even ignore me. They crossed the line of respect. The hedge….
Some actually trespassed against me, literally.
I found myself so needing prayer, because I was getting offended. I needed Gods intervention. For, I was getting very combative myself, with people I loved. It was a strange time, to say the least. But, I still tried to humble myself, and to walk in love.
Some felt like they could fight me, even in what I believe in, even with this election….
One thing, I have learned, throughout my life, is to forgive. To walk in love, and when I am wrong, I repent to God, and I apologize to those I offend.
I try….
When I don’t see that, from others, who have an attitude with me for no good reason, I wonder why they have this pride against me? Why can’t they see their own wrong doing?
God hates pride. I don’t want it, so I apologize to others. But I apologize to God more then anything.
But I will be honest more times then I can count. People are rude to me, but they don’t apologize.
So, it makes me realize, I can go on. But can they? They may think they can go on, but if one is not humble. Not repentant to God, not apologetic to others. They miss something. They handicap themselves. They cannot go on to the next thing God has for them, even in blessings, because they have not learned the lesson of walking in love.
The example of Job and his friends, show they missed something…..
Not being forgiving, or apologizing, not being humble does that. More then anything not repentant to God.
If not…. well….We reap what we sow. Its a principle. Gods principle.
The story of Job, is a story of friendship, but its also a reminder, of what many of us can go though, in life, if the hedge is not there, the blood of Jesus. The heartaches, the sorrow, the loss…..to know the devil will attack.
If anything, a reminder, to be careful who you attack, and insult, and not apologize to. You do not know what people are going through. In their every day life. You don’t know what they face daily. You don’t know the wounds! Or the struggles.
Stop the jealousy, or pride, or attitude, that makes you think you have a right to be mean. Or to use some kind of authority to give yourself permission to insult. That person is a child of God. Whether you see it or not.
There is no peace to the wicked. And you may not think you are wicked, but I will tell you, pride is wickedness, in the sight of God.
So what was it that pleased God, about Job? What did God find so pleasing that He told Jobs friends in this verse, that his wrath was kindled against them , for they did not speak the thing that was right as Job did? (paraphrasing Job 42:7)
This is what pleased God. This was the last thing Job said in that conversation….
WHEREFORE I ABHOR MYSELF, AND REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES. JOB 42:6. KJV.
He repented. And gained all His blessings back. But not before God told his friends, they were wrong, because they did not speak that which was right. In the sight of God. Repenting is good in the sight of God, and that includes apologizing.
If this example does not make us all open our eyes. What will? Do we have to be tested so far, over, and over again, that we actually look stupid, and dumb in the sight of God and others, because we can’t figure it out? We can’t repent? We can’t apologize?
And if this one more thing does not make you think…. Well, I don’t know what will.
But relate your own life to Job. Relate to the times, you were broken, you were hurt, and you needed friends, and people abandoned you?
Or you had no one but God….Yes repentance is sweet. I am so glad, I could go to Him, in this time of struggles with my own friends. But I remind myself to go to Him always. Always! Even in daily repentance.
Friends, I want you to be blessed. I want to be blessed, as well, but I see this….Call it wisdom, call it learning the hard way. Because to be honest I have dealt with this all my life, starting with my own mother. Apologizing. So glad I could.
I hope this may make some think twice who reads this. Do you apologize, when your out of line? Especially with a friend in Christ? With God?
Do it, so God can bless you… And yes….Restore you.
Blessings,
Elena Ramirez
REPENT FOR YOUR ANCESTORS AND PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
REPENT FOR YOUR ANCESTORS AND PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Why do I tell you to repent for your ancestors? And to plead the blood of Jesus?
Because you do not know what they did. You do not know, if they broke spiritual laws, HIS commandments, that offended God, and caused Him to feel hate. To feel offended. To feel, betrayed. When someone bows down to something else, He says they hate Him. And He will curse to the fourth generation.
For when His truth, is available, as it is in the King James, and even in this chapter that describe the Ten Commandments, and someone does not keep the commandments, and they disobey God. He considers that “hate” from someone.
Look at the scripture here, closer:
THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF UNTO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM: FOR I THE LORD THY GOD AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE ME. AND SHOWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. DEUTERONOMY 5:9-10. KJV.
REPENT. BE ONE OF THOSE THAT LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. You may be the one to break the spiritual curses, that were applied from any one of these generations. Repent. Plead the blood of Jesus, and be the example of someone who does want to obey God. Who wants to keep His commandments. Who does not want to pass spiritual curses from one generation to another.
I guess, I look at it this way. To repent, is divine. It keeps me humble. It puts the fear of God in me. I don’t know what my ancestors did. But if I can do anything, to please God. I will do it. I will repent for my ancestors.
Why do you folks, think I go on, and on about Halloween of that nature. Because it offends God. To go to psychics, and to bow down to anything or anyone offends God. To bow down to saints, or to anything in heaven, itself. Is offensive to God. Look at this in your King James bible. Look at verse Deuteronomy 5:8, that I did not post in the photo. It says don’t make a graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven or in the earth. Or in the waters…. It offends God!
Repent.
Maybe by your humbleness if there is repentance, and obedience, you can break the curses. You can please God.
I want to break any curse, so no weapon formed against me or my family would prosper. So I myself repent for my ancestors. I plead the blood of Jesus. We have to be careful, we do not open spiritual doors, that offend God. They are curses. I even recommend you tell your spouse to repent. Who knows what they did on His side. Or your wifes side.
Think about this as well. Think about what maybe your generational ancestors did to the people of God. Or even do now. He says He will bless those who bless Israel. He will curse those who curse them.
Pray about it. You could make a difference for your generation, and you can break curses, as you plead the blood of Jesus.
This is a little deep, but aren’t you tired of not seeing any progress?
I know I am.

DO YOU CONFUSE “THOUGHTS” WITH “PLANS?” By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
My King James Bible, that has been in existence for over 400 years, stored on earth, and in heaven, tells me in this scripture that God has thoughts for me. That He knows the “thoughts” He has for me. Not plans. Many other Bible versions, have that word plans.
And I guess, I am just a word nerd. A born again Christian, who wants to obey God, in word. Who takes each word, each comma, each period, literally, in place, because these are Gods thoughts. Because His word tells me He does not change, He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Read Hebrews 13:8. From a KJV.
Cause your version may change this. But He says, He is the same. So even here I won’t change… The many scriptures in this Bible that tells me don’t change, add, or delete His word. His word, not some religions word. Not some publishers word, who wants to make money off of unsuspecting people. But Gods Holy and anointed, King James word.
And how can we confuse the word plans, with thoughts? Unless we are not obedient. How can He have plans for me, if my thoughts, do not align up with His thoughts? If I am not on the same page, with God?
I added the next two scriptures here in my “thoughts” because I am realizing more and more how important our prayer life is. How important it is to go to Father. Even to repent. Even to admit, sometimes, its hard to pray. To ask Him to remove distractions. That my thoughts, would align with His thoughts. To want to obey. That my plans, would be His plans. But not if I am in disobedience. I have to have that fear of God in my own heart, to want to please Him.
I always say to each their own. I don’t try to force anybody to see this truth. I won’t debate it, or argue about it. But when you know the difference, you can’t help but want to please God in this.
And really thats all that counts to me. Is pleasing God. No I don’t confuse the word thoughts with plans. Because He knows the “thoughts” He has for me. And they are thoughts of peace, and not of evil. To give me an expected end. Paraphrasing His word, but using His word, to describe it.
Blessings, and love,
Elena Ramirez

WHAT DOES GOD SAY YOU CAN AND CANNOT DO? ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
This KJV scripture has been a great inspiration to me. In times, of sadness, darkness, and in times, of just needing strength from God.
Gods word is so multi purposeful. In other words, wherever, He may send it, it will prosper. But I do take God at His word. Literally. I don’t try to find loop holes, that contradict it.
I don’t listen to people, if they are not taking it to heart. Even the best prolific people in ministry, can be disobedient.
I guess, I am talking about the holiness, of not using a King James.
I get in many discussions about this, but the bottom line is. What does God say? Which is also a commandment. And though we have free will. Is it Gods will? People will do what they want. You know just because we “can” do something, does not mean we should.
And I have learned, just because we want to do something, or can do something, does not mean we are “called” to do something.
What does God say you can, and cannot do? This should always be the question. Yes, just because you can sin, does not mean you should. Just because a bad bible is out there, does not mean you should use it.
When I write my thoughts here, I am just trying to get you to see, what God says. Its never my intention to impose my feelings, to even get to a point, where we have to agree to disagree. Truth stands on its own merit, I don’t have to convince you. Thats the Holy spirits job.
What does God say you “can” or cannot do? So you can be strengthened in the inner person.
In life, we have to do everything on our part, to get right with God, so what we can do, lines up with what God says we can do.
Just a thought, this morning, may God be glorified.
In Christ, Elena

IN TRUE SINCERITY I WARN YOU ABOUT BAD BIBLES ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
IN TRUE SINCERITY I WARN YOU IN LOVE ABOUT BAD BIBLES
I am not a Pastor. So why would anyone listen to me? I don’t know.
All I know is who God is, and what He has shown me.
I know where I came from, what I did, and the many mistakes I made. And in sinning. But I now know the difference in Christ. He has taught me much.
Including, about bad bibles. Now I know, many people don’t understand this, and many debate it but I do, understand this, there is a difference. I won’t debate truth. It stands on its own merit.
By holiness, by anointing, and by truth. When I discovered the discrepancies in other Bibles, my spiritual eyes were opened.
When I saw that verses were missing, or when I compared scriptures, and the words had different meaning. Where I saw because the context was changed, the content, was also changed, I was grieved.
I took to heart the many scriptures that tell us not to change, add, or delete word. Including Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:5-6, Revelation 22:18-19.
The King James has been established for over 400 years. And please do not confuse this with the New King James.
The King James Bible has been stored in heaven and earth. Thats also scriptural. It is holy and anointed.
This is the bible I search for when I need healing, and for guidance, or for an answer….I don’t take a chance on missing a word, that someone has compromised. Deleted, or added.
People, think the words are archaic. And they search to find the meaning. But did you know, if you were just obedient, God would reveal the understanding, by the Holy Spirit? We are not called to disobey in this. II Peter 1:20-21 tells us its not up for private interpretation. It comes from the Holy Spirit. I do recommend you search these scripture references. I gave.
God does not change, we do, and I like being on the same page with God. I take this to heart, and I speak this in Christ, and I will not be counted with those who corrupt His Holy word.
Theres a light that shines, when we obey. It guides us.
Blessings, and love, Elena

SHARE INSPIRATION FOR THE WORK OF THE LORD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Did you know by sharing some of your friends posts with just a click. Your doing the work of the Lord. Your touching a soul with inspiration. They may just need it. You don’t know that.
But you trust God to guide you. It’s just a way of getting direction in the body of Christ, working as a team. We all need inspiration…this is why I share your posts. If it inspires me, I know it will inspire someone else.
If I inspire you please share. Thank you and God bless you.

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.

LEARNING TO REPENT EVEN AFTER YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST AS LORD ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
One thing, I have learned in receiving Christ as my Lord, and savior. Is that one can sin, even after accepting Christ. We are not immune to sin.
Some think its a done deal, yet we are called to work out our salvation, with fear and trembling. In that fear of God, I pray never to offend Him. I pray, never, ever to take my salvation for granted.
I am reminded of what Christ did on the cross, for me. His suffering, His death, and resurrection. For by His stripes we are healed. Physically and spiritually. And it just gives me a sense, to appreciate that, and to stay away from sin.
Repentance, always clears the slate, even when we don’t know, we have sinned. I think thats why I am so moved even to write this. Because growing up, sometimes you don’t even know you are sinning, or have sinned.
There is something to be said, about repenting, even daily, for it clears the slate, in the spirit, to have understanding.
