Christine Mason's Comments

He is coming back for His people. All people as "One Body" in Christ.
Not a people separated by differences, but a people unified in Christ. Not a people separated by prejudice, but a people unified in faith. Not a people separated by bitterness, but a people unified in Love.
The Bible tells us that the Creator God created us ALL in His image. This means we should stop living by our own emotions and start operating in the Love of God. Instead of stumbling over differences which separate us, we need to look to the One that brings inclusion which is Jesus Christ. For it is He that separates the "wheat from the weeds" at harvest. He is the only one that can bring us together where we have grown so far apart.
As a nation, we need to tear down the walls that stand between us, and replace them with the hand of fellowship. We must replace the hurt with forgiveness and mend the wounds with unity.

"Oh Great Spirit God, we ask that you give us direction on the path of life. We ask that you lead us to where YOU want us to go. We ask that you heal our hearts from ALL bitterness, from past hurts, and place in our hearts forgiveness. Great Spirit God, bring us together in the unity of your Son Jesus who is OUR healer...Amen"

The Peacock

Galatians 2:6 As for those who seemed to be important- whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not judge by external apperance- those men added nothing to my message.


Are you one that has experienced being set apart or set aside, one that was not included, not fitting in, not one of the popular kids on the street or in school, wrong size bank account, wrong or no name brand shoes, not welcomed in a new town or church, your outward apperances don't measure up or match...

Whisper...I went to a reunion this summer and was told by many about a certain restaurant. I went with my 18 year old niece to try it out. Needless to say after 20 minutes...it was obvious they were not going to wait on me...so we went ahead, got up quietly, and left.

The peacock is our flashy showy bird. He is worldly, full of pride, and very impressed with himself. He needs center stage or front page. Must be on that top 10 list. He loves to strut his stuff and seldom does anything for anyone else in need. He is the me, me, me bird. Peacocks have a tendency of looking down on others, judging and comparing. Very picky on who he includes into his circles. They are the religious zealots of the bird kingdom, our Sunday show birds.

So...looking into the Word...what does Christ say to us...

Isa. 61.1-3 1b..He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted...
1 Cor.1:26-31 v28. But God...chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things- and the things that are not-
Isa. 49:9 Mt. 11:28 Mt. 5 ;1-12 The Beatitudes..blessed are...1 Cor. 1:26-31 Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in Spirit.




A reminder to the peacocks: Instead of looking at ones-self we need to look at Jesus. He is our example.
Rev. 18:2b "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird."
1 Cor.12:12-27 v. Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. v.22 those parts of the body that seem weaker are indespensable v.24 presentable parts need no special treatment.
Mt. 5:43-48..If you only greet your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
***James 2:1-9....favoritism forbidden...Acts 10:34
Mt.23:27 beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead mens bones and everything unclean.
Mt. 7:1,2...Ro. 14:10...Ro. 16:17...Mt. 18:10-14... Gal 6:7

Precious Lord, you tell me ... that love covers a muliple of sins (1 Peter 4:8b) You do not want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Rom. 3:28) Lord I need to remember...Mt. 6:14 ...For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ...

As I am getting ready to post this...the Lord whispered... "Lost, but now found"....who would imagine this? The Lord has a purpose/reasons. WOW! I was found abandoned in Chicago at 9 months of age...and placed in Saint Vincents Orphanage there in Cook County. Lord, you have blessed me with many friends who have embraced me in friendship...and have taken me under their wings...from the same area years ago from ones who walked away. WOW! We all fit and belong somewhere. In the Body of Christ and to His Glory, Brown Eagle

May God continue to bless you & have a great week

HELLO ALL MY FRIENDS I WAS IN THE HOSP FOR THE WATER AND I NEED HELP AND LOTS OF PRAY. LOVE CHRISTINE

Confinements of Want

Life is not defined by what we have, even when we have a lot.
Luke 12:15 MSG.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1 NKJV

Whisper.....The secret of satisfaction....
What we have in God is greater than what we don't have in life! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

Are there any who are devout lovers of God?
Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Are there any who are grateful servants?
Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!
Are there any weary with fasting?
Let them now receive their wages!
If any have toiled from the first hour, let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour, let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour, let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour, let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour, let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.
For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first. He gives rest to him that comes at the eleventh hour, as well as to him that toiled from the first.

To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows. He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor. The deed He honors and the intention He commends.

Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike receive your reward;
rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not,
rejoice today for the Table is richly laden!
Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one.
Let no one go away hungry.
Partake, all, of the cup of faith. Enjoy all the riches of His goodness!

Let no one grieve at his poverty,
for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again;
for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death,
for the Death of our Savior has set us free.
He has destroyed it by enduring it. He destroyed Hell when He descended into it. He put it into an uproar even as it tasted of His flesh. Isaiah foretold this when he said, " You, O Hell, have been troubled by encountering Him below."
Hell was in an uproar because it was done away with. It was in an uproar because it is mocked. It was in an uproar, for it is destroyed. It is in an uproar, for it is annihilated. It is in an uproar, for it is now made captive.
Hell took a body, and discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw, and was overcome by what it did not see.

O death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is Risen, and life is liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead;
for Christ having risen from the dead,
is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen!

"A feather to add to ones wings."

Do not hurt your neighbor, for it is not him you wrong, but yourself...The Shawnee.

God tells each of us to love thy neighbor. But what if we say...how...I can't...not them...look what they do...look what they have done to me...(Matthew 5:43-48) The Word remind us about only loving those who love us, greeting only our brothers...

So I ask..."How?" The Lord whispered to me the answer...that I now pass on to you...."Lord, please love them through me and grow that love from within." Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

The Walnut

This is for those who might be having a rough day at work, mourning a loss, facing a town bully, medical issues, falling short, bills growing while moneys stretched out all ready, didn't do quite as good as we would have wanted too, chore lists growing......

In Colossians 3 verse 3 God tells us, "For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."

One way I love to explain this verse is that you take a black Missouri walnut. I'm sure we have all had our experiences with them. On the outside is the soft shell, when you crack and peel it, they leave the black stain on your fingers for days. Next you have the hard shell to crack, and then you find the nut which is inside. It's like that for us. I know that when things are coming at me, it goes through the soft shell, God first, and then the hard shell, Christ, before it ever gets to me, the one inside. I know that I'm protected within two layers and whatever is going to happen, that it's going to have to go through the first two layers, God and Christ first. I know that I'm going to be ok, I'm not alone, and that I have a place for comfort and peace to rest. God is in complete control and in charge of everything that occurs in my life. What an awesome postion and place to rest! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
