WHEN GOD CALLS YOU TO PRAY ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause…Thou satest in the throne judging right. Psalm 9:4. KJV
When you feel that prompting to say a prayer. Go,to the throne of God. HE Is calling you to talk. Wherever you are whatever you are doing….stop and go to Him in prayer. He has His reasons….

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.
FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS GO INTO DARKNESS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Yesterday, I wrote, “Staying away from the wicked” and today, I just want to add, is that “Friends don’t let friends go into darkness.”
I admit, some spiritual things as a youth, and as even a young adult, I did not try to impress on anybody. It seems like people do come up defensive, and argumentative concerning spiritual matters. Some think, you should not talk politics or religion. It is still that way, in many ways.
Well, I have changed that adage in my own thinking concerning both. We have to communicate. The enemy wants us to shut up, but we do. We have to be informed, we have to share with others our faith.
We have to see, where we have made mistakes. Its hard, to do. Even for me, but I must try. You see love, the love of Christ compels me. Friends, we can make so many mistakes in our youth.
This is where we set the standard for a lifetime. This is where spiritual curses are generated.
And its not too late, to change. Its not too late, to run to the throne of God, and to repent. Its not. As long as their is breath in us, we should do that.
I want to impress you to be more vocal, more concerned about your friends, and family. Watch what they are doing. Don’t let them embrace darkness. Yes, sometimes you cut ties off, but sometimes, if you love them as well, you warn them about such matters.
Halloween could open that door, this is why we don’t think its innocent.
For me, the people I cut off, were too deep in the darkness, they did not want to listen. They consulted the dark spirits, they longed to see evil in movies, the books they read were evil. They kept doing “dark” things that set that alarm off in me.
So yes, I cut them off. And I admit, sometimes I don’t want to fight. I have fought most of my life. So I look for peaceful resolutions, where sometimes I walk away.
But warn your children your grand babies. The kid next door. The harvest does not have to be huge. It can be one soul at a time.
You can be someone who just might say one word, but get them on the path to Jesus. Friends, don’t let friends go into darkness. If you see it, as a Christian, that red flag should pop up.
This is why I write. Because if I can spare someone, heartache, or even the wrath of God, then I am doing a good thing.
Yes we pray for a harvest of souls for Christ. But you can be a laborer. Do it, get bold, get courageous, and save a soul. God will bless you… I know.
PRAY YE THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE HARVEST, THAT HE WILL SEND FORTH LABORERS INTO HIS HARVEST. MATTHEW 9:38 KJV.
Blessings, and love, Elena Ramirez
THE GOAL IN LIFE IS TO KNOW?……GOD By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
THE GOAL IN LIFE IS TO KNOW? ….GOD ~
By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
YE ARE MY WITNESSES, SAITH THE LORD, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: THAT YE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. ISAIAH 43:10 KJV.
Glory to God. There is no other, then my Lord God…..and I am His servant. I understand and yes know this…..Thank you Lord!
As I write this, I want you to have the answer to know in life. Even in the question. I don’t want you to not know this. And more then anything else. God wants you to know this is the goal in life. Know God!
Many go through life. Not knowing this goal. They don’t understand the importance, of why they were created. They don’t see God in their blessings. They think they did it, they think they have the ability. Its that pride, that makes them stubborn, and blind.
Well who gave it to them?… but God. So I have learned, that the devil though, always wants to steal that glory, and he always wants to stop you from knowing who God is, and His truth.
Friend, the goal in life….
Its to know Him. Know God. And you begin by knowing Him through Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Know His commandments. Know His truth. Know His ways….
Don’t just know what books just say about Him. Or what I say…. But know Him, yourself. Its called relationship. Not religion. Not rules and regulations made by men. But it is made by Gods love….
I have always had a fascination with God. Ever since, I was a child. I needed Him. I did not have the fulfillment of a very loving family. I did not grow up, very confident. I did not have lots of money. I needed God. But I have learned yes, He can fulfill needs.
But He longs to have a relationship with us. Not by what He can give. So I had to change my thinking about Him, and who He is, and what He can do. He is not an ATM machine.
I had to learn to know Him. I had to quit walking between the fence of the world, and totally submit and surrender to God. I learned, who He loves He corrects. He has done that quite often, with me, and I am sure, He will continue. You see, I know I am not perfect I know we all sin, we all come short of His glory.
As I have learned to know Him. I have learned….
Sometimes, He is silent. Sometimes He hides. Sometimes, He waits to see, how much we seek Him. He sees, if we give up on Him, if He does not answer prayer right away. He tests us. Tries us. And still can be silent.
I just woke up this morning, or really in my early morning sleep, as I talked to Him, that yes, the goal in life, is to know Him. His truths, His commandments, His ways. For they are ways of excellence.
One thing I know about God, is He is not mocked. People have no idea, the spiritual curses the grievances they bring to themselves by mocking Him. Or even mocking His servants.
Yes, I am His servant. Every day, I write here, and I try to share, who He is by what I know of Him. I try to bring light. I try to bring hope. I try more then anything to bring truth. Some could care less, some want to fight. Well. I leave that to God, to fight my battles. And He does. Those that fight me, may not know they are missing out, but they are.
Anyway…. this is not about me. Its always about Him.
Throughout the ages, people, have this concept about God. Who He is, and what He does, and thats just because He is so mighty. There is none like Him. In power, or in strength, and I know just writing about it, I am scratching the surface. But thats why He gives us a life time. To know Him.
Friend, I don’t know where you are starting. You may be young, or old, or even on your death bed. But…..Get to know Him. There are miracles, that can be tapped into just because of who He is. But don ‘t try to get to know Him, again, because of what He can give.
Know Him, because He and only He can save your soul. He can deliver you from darkness. Give you wisdom. Fill that need. Give you courage. Give you a way. He is the way, the truth and life. He can heal a broken heart. Guide you. Comfort you. Love you….and always protect you. Know Him!
Get to know Him, because of who He is. I love our Lord. I am so grateful. I am not where I want to be. But I am not where I used to be. And for that, I am so grateful. I pray, He gives me a long life, to serve Him. To know Him. But more then anything, I am grateful for my salvation. I never, ever want to take for granted what our Lord did on that cross. His suffering, that brings me to repentance. No sin, no pleasure, no momentary lapse in judgment is worth it.
Now just to make this brief. Heres some thoughts, that you may or may not consider as you get to know Him. But this is what I know, in knowing Him.
1. I know His voice, and to another I will not follow. So….Know His voice. His sheep know His voice, and they will not follow another. Look this scripture up in a King James Bible. Be careful to not try and get to know Him, by other voices. Other Bible versions. They are corrupted, as soon as they changed one period, or word, or deleted, or added anything to His holy and anointed word.
2. Get to know God through your prayers. Pray again Holy scripture. Claim it as your own, by what Christ did on that cross. This will increase your faith.
3. Imitate Christ. Imitate, His ways, His love, His compassion. So you know Him. In your own suffering, know He understands.
4. Know scripture. Hide it in your heart. Memorize, write it. The more King James scripture you know, you are able to get discernment. And it sure is needed in this world. Wearing your armor of God. To quench the fiery darts of the enemy. Use your sword of Truth.
5. Walk in love always, and forgive.
6. Don’t treat God casually. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. So yes fear God. You should fear Him for many reasons. One because He has power to put your soul, in heaven or hell.
7. Know that we do reap what we sow. So be careful what you put out there in life. Always repent. Keep yourself humble in the sight of God. Because of the principles of who He is. Know this….
I know I am barely scratching the surface here, to remind you. To know just these things. But they are all based on Holy King James scripture. Yes, every day, I try and write what I know about God. All based on King James scripture.
I learned, early to be true, to Him. So I can’t just write about it without the foundation of Holy scripture. I know. Who would believe me without it? You see, I know who I am in Christ. And I know who I am without Him. And I would rather know Him.
Yes, for the rest of my life, I will try to know Him more and more. So I do pray for a very long life. Because I long to see His glory revealed in my life. To be a testimony.
And to share that with you. But don’t rely on me. Rely on Him. Get to know Him, with all your heart, soul and mind. This is love. And remind others to know Him. This is how we defeat the enemy. Shout it out! Hallelujah always give Him praise and glory!
Blessings, have a wonderful day, as you get to know our Lord. As you make it the goal of life. Know God.

YES GOD CHASTENS US ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Yes, God chastens us, and yes, we do reap what we sow. Whether we know it or not, its a principle of God, that He has in place.
So thats why its wise to know what God says. Its wise to search for Him, and to avoid mistakes, that are also sin. Its good to be in a mode of repentance. It keeps us humble. Not prideful, which Father hates.
To be aware of deceptions, that may bring a solution, or pleasure, but they are so disguised, they lead right to hell.
So yes, I know. I have been a rebellious child, and I was and have been “chastened” by God almighty.
But I am glad I did. I am glad He chastened me. It produced something in me, to know the difference. It truly showed me He loves me.
Maybe right now you are facing a decision, that could change your life forever. Go to God, ask Him. You will get an answer.
Keeping His commandments, should be the first place to see if this decision is lined up with His truth. To avoid chastening.
Sometimes we think its the devil, but it is God, correcting us….
Just a thought, this beautiful morning.

CHRIST UNDERSTANDS AND DESPISES THE SHAME FROM OUR SINS ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
I love to take a scripture, by the Holy Spirit, and truly chew on it, analyze it, and take it for spiritual food.
This scripture, reminds me of what Christ did, but it is so profound to describe that He despises the shame.
He the King, of Kings went to the cross for us. Here He was, and is without sin, yet He took the penalty for us.
When we have a sense of that, with the realization we all sin, we all come short of the glory of God, it is very humbling.
This chapter of Hebrews 12, really gives us insight, into this and how God deals with us. Read it with an open heart from your KJV bible.
Friends, when we despise the sin, and the shame, and repent, the cleansing is available, in Christ. Don’t hold onto something that
God has made a way for you to be redeemed from.
Blessings, Elena

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.

ASKING GOD TO SHOW YOU WONDROUS THINGS FROM HIS LAW ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Yes, I love my King James Bible. I love what God speaks to me, from it. I love it, because it is holy, and anointed. Not corrupted by mans hands. Or publishers, who wanted to make money by revising it, and changing it. Who actually disobey many scriptures that tell us not to change it and add to it. From holy text, over 400 years, preserved and stored on earth and in heaven.
Oh I know, nobody, likes anybody to tell them what Bible to use. But you see I know the difference. I know what God says, in it. When I read my KJV, I am on the same page with God. He does not change we do. Even if it sounds archaic.
Its His voice. He brings understanding. He brings the sense of it through those “thees and thous.” You see we are not to try and interpret the scriptures. It is by the Holy spirit, that we hear. Read II Peter 1:20-21 KJV.
I hear His voice. His sheep know His voice, and to another they will not follow. I will not be one of those who corrupt it. Read II Corinthians 2:17 from a KJV.
Don’t just ignore these scriptures look in His word, for the wondrous truth. And even ask Him to show you the truth about His word, His law….
So yes, to ask God, to show you wondrous things out of his “law” is something, really to ask Him, every time, you go to your Bible. Because He will reveal Himself.
But I want to talk briefly about this scripture. It does say, “wondrous things out of thy law.” Beware of teachings that tell you that you do not need Gods law. Beware of false doctrine, that compromises the law. Beware of even pastors, that throw out the law. Actually twisting, and compromising, what Paul said. That grace is all you need. THAT IS SO WRONG. The only law folks we are free from, is the law of sin, and death in Christ. Not Gods law. Heres another scripture. Look it up. Romans 8:2. Remember Christ did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Read Matthew 5:17-18.
If you get this, research it, yourself. I won’t debate it. I already have done my research. I know how so many are deceived, and want to argue about it. But I will not. My motto is: “Why debate truth, and argue about it, when it stands on its own merit?”
But when you know, you know. You see, God has shown me wondrous things from His law. And His law, is what keeps me in line, in fear of God, another subject, many do not like to hear. But its there, and that fear of God, keeps me running to my King James Bible to Know His law.
Be blessed my friends, be blessed in Gods law, the KJV. You will never regret it.

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.

COURAGE IS SOMETHING GOD GIVES TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM ~ By Christian Author Elena Ramirez
Sorry, I have not been here for a while. But I will try and give more scriptures, and photos. In my amateur viewing and sighting to try and take a photo that will inspire you.
May todays thought bless you. And please sign up at my main blog:
God is so good, and kind and merciful. And there are times when you realize that. It should humble us to want to serve, to give Him glory. To ask Him for courage to be strong. It’s not always easy to be strong. But I suppose that is one of the gifts He gives to those who love Him. Just a thought….

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

CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY~FOR EVERYTHING
Hold onto who Christ is…..If you don’t know Him, you can find Him, by searching for Him. Repent, and let him, into your heart. Let Christ show you the way for your life. He will show you everything, you need to know, for your family, for finances, health, everything. To protect you, to inspire you, for everything. For your Salvation. Thats just who He is. He is love. His love is the true way. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. I know….. http://elenasjustmythoughts.wordpress.com
THE LORDS DOING~THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE ~ COME ON NOW REJOICE~
THE LORDS DOING….
Just a word of encouragement…..For today, is the day, the Lord has made. Every day, I want to be in great anticipation, and hope, in what God can do.
Not thinking this way, will leave to a disappointed day. But, God, can make great things happen, and because of Christ, I can claim it. Today, lift up your hope, lift up, your voice, praise God, even if you don’t feel like it, and see what a difference it will make.
Whenever, I don’t feel like praising, or being joyous, I remember what Christ did on the cross. How he suffered, but he went and got the keys from hell, for me, and you. I remember, past breakthroughs, healings, blessings, love….
How can I not, get my joy back? How can I not praise him? My salvation is secure, because I believe, and that gives me joy. Its easy to praise God, when you see, all he has done. When you count your blessings…
Trust God, and believe. He is able.
I am believing for doors to open, and for great favor, and sweet peace, and joy and love. Miracles…..because I recognize, the Lord is able. The word of God tells me….This is marvelous in my eyes, and this is the day, the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Gods blessings sends prosperity. Read Psalm 118. And let it speak to you, and your eyes….Your spiritual eyes. And see the light, from his word.
Much love, in Christ, Elena Ramirez

WHY AREN’T YOU GIVING GOD PRAISE?
CREATED TO GIVE GOD GLORY….
I was created to give God glory, you were created to give God glory. And I will be honest, it irks me, when I see people, who are healthy, wealthy, and well…. And they think it is their doings that got them those blessings.
Usually, I like to share a good word, that will inspire one. But today, I feel like just telling it like it is. Anyone, who does not give their heart to Christ, to work out their life, is playing with their salvation. And to not see, the goodness of God, that He gives in life, is not tapping into who you really are. So when you do not praise him, you just don’t see it….Especially if you are claiming you are a Christian.
The word tells us, He inhabits the praises of His people. I praise God, I want to be one of those people. I do not want him to look at me, and say, I blessed you, and you did not honor me. That would break my heart. Living in Christ makes one complete, and whole.
The total package of who we can be, in life, in our gifts, and even our happiness, and finances, is because there is a God. A God who created us to worship him, in spirit and in truth. In every way we are to acknowledge him, like Proverbs 3 tells us. But if we do not, expect to hear this when you stand before him. Because you thought, the blessings were because of you.
I tell you, I warn you, change your heart, or you will regret it for eternity. This is what He will say, and even maybe saying it now….but you can change it, you can live for Him, for he died on a cross for you. But if you do not…this is what He will say. Do you want him to say that to you….
BECAUSE THOU SAYEST, I AM RICH, AND INCREASED WITH GOODS, AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING; AND KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART WRETCHED AND MISERABLE, AND POOR AND BLIND, AND NAKED……I COUNSEL THEE TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE THAT THOU MAYEST BE RICH AND WHITE RAIMENT, THAT THOU MAYEST BE CLOTHED AND THAT THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS DO NOT APPEAR AND ANOINT THINE EYES WITH EYE SALVE THAT THOU MAYEST SEE….AS MANY AS I LOVE I REBUKE AND CHASTEN; BE ZEALOUS THEREFORE AND REPENT. Revelation 3:18-19.
You see, He spoke that to me a long time ago, and I saw how stupid I was. I saw I was a sinner, who needed a savior. I live for Christ now, and I make sure, I give him all the glory….All the praise, and all the honor, because of who He is, what He did, and I will never let that praise go to waste. He deserves it, and I hope, you just see you need to express it….
You need to make it right. You need to give him your heart. You need to be that light, and shine it. Your silence, is not helping you…..It is not helping others, and more then anything, it is not honoring the God who created you, who loves you, so much He sent his son for you. Give God glory….speak it, and praise him.
Maybe you are a Christian, already, then why aren’t you praising him?

HEARING GOD WHEN HE SPEAKS
I just want to be mindful to hear God, when he speaks to me. And not ignore those promptings. Sometimes people say, God does not speak to me. But He does, if you listen. But listening with an opened heart requires, listening, by his word, by prayer, and by seeking him with all your heart soul, and mind.God listens to us, when we pray His word. I know, for He has answered many a prayer by His word. For example, years ago, I got a bad doctors report.
And I prayed Jeremiah 17:14. HEAL ME OH LORD, AND I WILL BE HEALED, SAVE ME, AND I WILL BE SAVED, FOR YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I WILL PRAISE.
I prayed it over, and over again. It comforted me, but I knew, by his word, he would honor that, because it was his word.Well, to make a long story short, He did heal me. And yes, I do give him praise! God is not a respecter of persons, what He did for one, He will do for another. But we have to study to see what we are doing. Are we loving one another, are we forgiving? Are we being critical? Are we taking his word, and hiding it in our heart. These are things to consider, if we want to hear from God, and if we want him to hear our prayers….If we regard iniquity in our hearts, he will not hear us. Psalm 66:18
And obviously we have not heard him, if we have not repented. Today, I want to be mindful, to be repentant, humble, loving, and opened to hear his voice, and praying, he hears me, by my attempts to seek him. And more then anything, thankful, so thankful, that Christ died for my sins, so I can have eternal life.
Blessings, my friends, and much love in Christ.
