Who is Looking up to you

Little ones
Standing around
 Look to you 
For solid ground

They Look to  you
For courage and strength

They look to you to be a role model
Where you lead
They will follow

They are looking up to you
To help them know how
To survive in this big world

They will follow in your footsteps
Where will you lead them
They
Are
Watching
And
Listening
To
You
LisaMe!

So what must we do?
Here is what Jesus would say to you ..

Matthew 19:20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
With God All Things Are Possible
 23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[k] or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Be careful little mouths what you say

Sticks and stones may break your bones
And You may think that words can not hurt
But those words are cutting the atmosphere
And are cutting those that you hold dear
So take some time before you speak
Because you are letting some bad things leak
Close your mouth and take a look
What it says in the Holy Book
Be a tongue splasher
Splash the world
With scripture and Praise
And do not allow that tongue of yours
To slice and dice
It not so hard to just be nice...

From my heart of hearts .. LisaMe

Restoration Services .. 2003 to present


This Covenant 
was 
Established April 4, 2003 

16 yrs/13 yrs/ 10yrs later 
 Through lots of trials

We are still 
STANDING
 
Allowing God 
To put 
ALL 
Things in right order 
In order to walk out God's promises
 We must be in agreement 
With God 
 And must walk the path
 He has 
Laid out 
For us to walk
 When He gives us an Assignment 
 It is because 
He has Alignments for our lives
 We do not have to understand
 Or 
Like His correction
But it is
For
Our Protection

We must
Submit to them
 When God establishes things over, in and through your life

 He is faithful to complete it
 Even if like Moses
We do not see the promise land
 We must die trying
 We must continue on our path
 Doing things God's way not our way

We run across Highway construction
And sometimes take unnecessary detours

But God will always put us back on track
 If we will look to the seasons of our lives 
And pay Attention 
To what He speaks to our spirits
He is speaking can you hear it
 There is a roadway in the wilderness
Can you see it

 Open the eyes of my heart Lord
 Help LisaMe! 
Be all that you have called me to be
Continue to be the Christ in me

 Let me not be afraid
 To walk the path to have laid out for me

 In my weakness 
Give me strength and courage
 To continue to Trust and Obey

For it is true Lord
I know there is no other way ...

 
Established in 2003
Continuing To Be
Restored in 2016
Life is a Highway
We Walk
Through the Seasons of Our Lives 
Mr. Man and His LisaMe!


2 Corinthians 4

Present Weakness and Resurrection Life
1 Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[a] made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”[b] Since we have that same spirit of[c] faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Colossians 3

Living as Those Made Alive in Christ
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[b] 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Instructions for Christian Households
18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers,[c] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.

Ephesians 4

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ
1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a] says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.”[b]
9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Instructions for Christian Living
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

If only we lived in a perfect world

I would like to say
"I am so proud of you"
You took good care
Of your Mother
Doing the best that you could
To Love and care as a son should
Understanding
Is not always easy
To give up so much of your time
So much of our lives we are missing
I know the Blessing will be great
It is my desire to see her reach
Heaven's Gate
I know God has brought her to us
To take her by the hand
Because even though we are not perfect
We really do understand
Each day we are learning more
And the time is coming nearer
The day when we will be
Sad when God calls to her
"Come Here"
As we continue on our journey
We need to hold each others hands
And keep on praying
So we will always understand
This is why God brought us together
To be helpmates to one another
To share in love and hard times too
Because where would I be
Without you
And where would you be
Without me
We would be lonely

Because it is
God
Who placed the covenant
Between you and me

We need to always remember
We need to always see
The Love that God
Has put between you and me
I have Loved you ... LisaMe!
Note: After listening and reading a letter written .. about an elderly mom and dad.. our parents as they get older and how the roles reverse .. God intended it to be a blessing not a curse ...
 
Father God.. help me to be good to my children and not become a burden to them in my old age.. I pray that I will always be a blessing to them .. I thank you for the words that you placed within my heart .. I pray that they never stop coming.. I love writing out the things that I feel .. It is a blessing I did not ever think I would have.. I thank you that you know my heart .. and have given me my hearts desires.. even at times when I do not think that I am blessed .. I know I am .. Thank you Lord for always understanding .. I Love you ..

I am working on getting me back to myself..
I will sing a New song .. Praising you everyday.. for the rest of my life ...

2/16/2011 Thank you again Lord ..
The Father has worked all of this out .. My husband's sister is coming to take his mother .. back to Fl .. to live near her.. where she works.. on the same grounds.. she works at a Christian Retirement Center .. We know it is God..who has heard our cries of prayer and despair over this situation .. we can not turn back the hands of time .. or rewind.. all the hurtful things.. said on both sides..

All we can do.. is continue to March forward in compassion and grace...
 Knowing that the Lord.. has interviened ..

Our prayer is that his mother can find some kind of happiness .. and Joy .. before her time to meet Jesus.. comes .. We are saddened it did not happen here.. all we know is we tried.. but we can not be responsible for another persons happiness .. That is between their soul and spirit ... the conflict of man .. is something not many understand ....
We all will come to this place one day .. I pray my soul will surrender to my spirit ... Because my spirit belongs to Christ.. and I want my flesh to fall in to submission.. Amen

I pray .. your spirit .. understands.. what mine is saying...

2/26/2011 The day has come to truly let go .. I know my heart is hurt by all of the ugly .. I know yours is too .. and We can not forget about Wayne, Emily and Especially Susie ....We need to continue to pray.. for healing and restoration ... Again your mother has put others.. infront of the needs and healing of her family .. What a sad ... sad day ... with all we did for her to be treated this way ....

Well we need to cut those ties.. 
To the ones.. 
Who felt they were more important...
 Than her own son .. 
More important.. 
To step in 
To have things done their way ... 
We did our part.. 
We responded from the heart .. 
Our hearts are clear .. 
And 
That is 
What's is important my dear ... 
As you continue 
To lead us closer and closer to the Son of God .. 
Our family will heal 
And 
We will break 
These generational sins and curses ... 
Our Grand Children will be FREE .. 
 Because of the actions 
of 
You and me ...

I began writing this a long time ago ...
Today is the day ....
IT IS FINISHED  ..
Tomorrow at Church
We will continue
To walk out our Healing ... 
It takes time for a heart to heal ..
You are learning how to Re- Feel
It is a natural  process
We must all go through
Just know I am here for you
You are Never alone
God... is the God
Who sits on the throne..
Are you ready
For me to be
More than Just Your Wife
But Your Lover
And Your Best Friend
Where the Love of God
Never ends...
I Love You .. LisaMe...

Hillsong United - From the inside out (Everlasting)




A thousand times I've failed


Still your mercy remains

And should I stumble again

Still I'm caught in your grace



Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control

Consume me from the inside out Lord

Let justice and praise become my embrace

To love You from the inside out



Your will above all else, my purpose remains

The art of losing myself in bringing you praise



Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control

Consume me from the inside out Lord

Let justice and praise become my embrace

To love You from the inside out



Chorus 2x

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise

From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out

Freedom in Christ .. has it's price

In November I wrote the Price of Freedom

It is amazing to me.. How God contiues to speak ...

After talking with several friends.. some who are hurting so bad.. from the loss of life.. some physical and some spiritual ..and others who are just enjoying the freedom of Christ in their life ..

 I was inspired to write .. about my own inspirations of my freedoms in Christ ..

Because of His love for me .. when I get trapped by life...
I know it is only a matter of time.. and the enemy has to let go of me ..

I am a child of the living God .. and His son..
Jesus Christ who died... for my freedom and for my life .. Amen!

John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.


He also died for you .. all you have to do.. is Believe and Receive His love for you .. Allow Him to help you make the changes you need to make in your life .. God is about heart knowledge not head knowledge ...

If you do not first receive Him in your heart ..
You can not fully understand Him .. Amen! ..
Love LisaMe!

Amen .. I like the idea of freedom .. I wish I were more free..
Society has a way of trapping us ..
Getting out of the traps of life.. is not an easy thing ..

Adam and Eve were caught in the first trap... a trap of deception .. Eating of the Tree of Good and Evil .. that God had commanded that they NOT eat from .. desire led them astray .. of course having help from the serpent .. convincing Eve that surely God did not mean .. what He said ...

I thank God for encouragement and support that it can indeed be done... We are working on it in our home .. financial freedom .. Religious freedom.. too ..

We need a personal relationship with Jesus not religion. We must keep our eyes on God .. and His word .. not the World's little g-god's and their traps .. Amen

Listening and learning from those who have .. had life experiences.. is .. what I do ..
But everything has to be balanced and judged from the word of God
Remember anyone can tell you anything
It Does NOT make it right or true

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

I enjoy sharing my life experiences and the things.. God teaches me ..
I do not profess to be a scholar
Only a vessel being used of God
To share what He speaks to my heart
Receive what you need AND throw the rest away

We all MUST realize the path is NARROW ...

When we are going in directions.. away... from the Masses.. who are attending useless classes .. that do not teach them .. what they really need to know .. Not that we do not need to attend classes... but we must look at the lessons.. and if we are not applying it to our lives.. what is the point ..

Yesterday in our Sunday Church Service we had a wonderful song.. from the Inside out .. I truly believe that is what it is all about ..

Song Hillsong United - From the inside out (Everlasting)


We must first serve God from the inside of our hearts.. and heal within ... that is why I wrote ... the book

"A Candy for All Seasons"
We must continue to share as we go ... the harvest is plentiful..

Makes you wonder..
If there are so many workers.. why are so many still LOST ...
Especially when the Lord clearly speaks
The Harvest is plentiful
But the workers are few
We must step out of our pews

Where is all the money they collect 
That is supposed to be for the Lost ....

hum mm God used something so simple as candy...
to teach me.. and get my attention ...
If He can use a donkey to speak....
He can use LisaMe! .. Amen ..

We must continue to just take one day at a time..
God heals over time .. is all I can say ..

He treats us each in our own special way ...
Our journey of life is to help teach us.. our own life lessons.. to help us look to God.. not man ...
God did some very special things in my life..
Although it has not been without hardship and pain..
He showed me His love would always remain ...
When we look to the men and women of the bible and their testimonies.. we see hardships.. and we see how they pushed and pressed through .. trusting God as they grew .. Amen ..

Know that God loves you .. and will give you the strength you need for each day ..

Just like the people in the day of Moses.. and the manna .. God provided .. you can only carry what you need for today .. tomorrow will take care of itself.. Amen ..

I have been in this place many times.. in my life..
and am here yet again...
I know God has lessons for me to learn
And so I am Trusting in Him.. Amen! ...

Love LisaMe!
Your sister friend ..

3/21/2011
God is confirming to His people .. to their spirits.. Amen .. those who do not hear want to argue and debate with them .. I agree this is a spiritual thing... you either hear and receive or you don't not everyone is called.. but not all chosen .. I appreciate what you have written here on your wall ... Solider have come to meet .. Which makes.. our spirits call complete .. Confirmation .. to the tug of war .. On War Christian Solider .. I wrote about in my book .. In Chapter 3 .. God's confirmation.. is revelation that becomes complete :) as we continue to worship at His feet .. We are also called to take our stands... in boldness.. across this land .. to walk and pray around the Wall .. when He gives the command to shout .. the walls will fall.. there is NO doubt ... <3 In Him.. LisaMe!

6/16/2011
Re-reading what I wrote ..
God's Word never returns void to me .. I spent 2 hours alone in my room... lights out .. listening to Praise N Worship .. songs I picked just for me.. to encourage and feed my soul .. I pray you know God.. and can find the encouragement to life that you need <3 Love in Christ.. LisaMe!

7/10/2011
I wanted to put a reminder here.. of the relational dream I had .. about the house with the builders inside praying .. me outside in a purple 2 piece .. soaking wet .. waiting to go in to pray .. Stacey standing in the yard in the distance.. in a powerful stance.. filled out with muscle ..
Next came the revelation vision of healing .. God showing me the pain in my body .. I was being allowed to feel Stacey's pain .. God was showing me .... he is cutting through bone, joint and marrow .. to get to the root.. and core issues of life ..   True healing of our marriage and life.. is very close at hand .. I see and understand .. Sunday Morning.. Breanna getting Baptized .. surrendering her life to Christ .. the reception we had at our home afterwards to celebrate not only her birthday.. but her New life in Christ .. All Grandparents here .. healing .. running deeper that the eye can see .. and More confirmation came Sunday at the night service when the youth group gave testimony of their Fuge Trip .. and the Call of Christ on their lives ..  I Love you Lord .. I walk in service.. of your call .. doing what I can.. until the appointed hour .. you have for me .. your daughter .. LisaMe!

About Me

My photo
LisaMe! is an inspirational writer; Sharing the Word; as God gives it to me. I am willing to go where He leads me; When I was just a little girl; I began to hear about Jesus. I learned wonderful songs of how; He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way. And how to Trust and Obey for there is no other way. And a little light that was "mine"; I was supposed to let it shine. As I began to grow up I had many questions in my heart. I loved Jesus there was no question of that. But I never really understood how; He could walk with me and talk with me; or what it meant to truly trust and obey. And I was not sure at all about having a light that would shine. God used candy to help teach me the answers to many of these questions. He became real to me; through the years of seeking Him; Learning how to share Him with others; so they could truly know Him and experience His Love; without pretense. I pray as you read these inspirations you will be blessed.
