Children



The word 'children' appears 1803 times in the King James Version of the Bible.

Meaning of children: a person between birth and full growth; a young boy or girl.

For the last 23 months, I have been on the most liberating love-filled journey.  During that time, I claimed, I found the child within!!! (Some have witnessed this change)! You see as we grow older, we are told put our childhood ways away! 

 They are not who we are now that you are an adult... So, we listen to others in our world and hide the child deep within... With time the child within grows weary and hides so long they forget how to lead with their heart and their light grows dim. As an adult our behavior becomes guarded, life scars happen, and our actions are controlled by the mind... 

With the day to day struggles, we began to lose the appreciation of the basic things... The child’s light slowly begins to grow dim. You are no longer a free spirit unencumbered and free. It can even become hard to breathe... But I can share my story of hope.  Through a spiritual encounter, I was blessed by Elohim. He has taken me on the most amazing journey of my life. However, in order for me to understand and appreciate what He offered. He had to ignite a once dormant flame within my soul. He fed the flame with His Love, His Kindness, His Compassion, And with His reassuring voice, He never stopped talking to the child within. 

Then like magic on that faithful day in May, in Triune, TN. The child with in listened to the sound of His voice and began to follow His illuminating light. And much to her surprise, she found a freedom that she had forgotten.  She emerged with eyes of wonder and her heart began to sing a new song. Life around her began to unfurl and become alive. Colors were brighter than she had even remembered, she could feel His Love within the warm breeze. Hugs seemed to linger even longer. Her heart was free to share His LOVE with others. 

You see, He gave her wings and said fly my child fly. He is still teaching her to LOVE without boundaries and to see even the smallest detail in the wondrous world He created.  His work in us is never done. He is the greatest LOVE story ever told ... He is the master of our heart and only He holds the key. He is whispering your name ... so, just quiet your mind, listen and get ready to Fly into the most amazing journey of your life. 

I urge you to go to a quiet place and listen. He is calling His children one by one...Your life will never be the same. It will be better than you could ever imagine.

I am proud to be called a child of God.


 And said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of God” Matthew 18:3
 
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.Galatians 3:26
 
Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God Matthew 5:9

“And I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”John 17:26


“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.” Luke 10:27

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of because you know those from whom you learned it, 
15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 
Timothy 3:14

Sing



Amy Barbera / Singer / Songwriter 



Sing meaning an act of singing:

Sing appears 121 times in the Bible. It is the most recorded of the commandments, to sing to the Lord. The count rises to 209 if you use the New English version.

The word sing is not just any word. it’s an action word that when put into the airwaves can bring, excitement, tears sadness, the joy it can open such a vast amount of emotion. Memories of old can flood your senses. It can take a new life event and play a soundtrackthat will add fullness to this new amazing memory as it is being recorded in your mind. 

My Journey with the Triune has been filled with music since the beginning.  I feel lyrics have spoken to my heart with subtle messages from God. I admit, it sounds a little strange, but I felt like the lyrics were written to questions that had taken residence in my heart.  When I completely emerged myself in his presence and allowed the music to open my soul, I would find clarity and peace. 

However, one faithful day in December. I feel like I scored another beautiful gift!!  I hit that easy button on my dormant Bible app 😃 and to my amazement, I felt the words now made perfect sense. Before this time the words seemed to be spoken in a foreign language that was impossible to understand. 

With this new discovery, and as I continued my journey through this word study, I landed in a chapter called Psalms!!  I became so excited to see MUSIC. How could music be written in what I thought was such an old boring book called the Bible? Wow was I ever wrong ... There is Music 🎶 in the word it lives there!  

The words and scriptures began to sing to my heart and filled my sense like nothing I have ever felt.  I felt the wisdom, and lyrics (words) in the deepest chambers of my soul ... It was then that I acquired a new-found appreciation and LOVE for how this amazing book holds so many clues to our life and its very existence.  

In my excitement, I text my friend and shared my excitement and discovery of Music in the greatest manual of life. She laughed, with me and said of course there is Music the very name Psalms means a sacred song or hymn, in particular any of those contained in the biblical Book. Who knew not me!  Lol, this was amazing news. My journey has been such a music-filled walk with God. Music has played a major and significant role. 

I find it so incredible that I do not have nor do I need this amazing talent of playing an instrument or the vocal sounds that can sing harmonies melodies! But he blessed me by introducing me to a new-found love of music though others that possess this God-given talent. As he held my hand through this wondrous discovery. And as I played the soundtracks that made their way to my heart.  He gently guided my life through many WOW moments while introducing me to the very nature and character of The Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

It’s been 23 months of Music that added life to my heart, my soul, and it’s how my adoration grew for three most significant souls in our lives... I have come to the conclusion that I was not blessed with the gift to create such a gift of song and music. However, I have accumulated many songs and have created my own personal playlist, of songs that sing to my heart. Music can add color to your life, it can open a passion for praise, worship, and prayer or to life itself. I cannot imagine life without this gift of music.  I agree Life would B🎶 flat. I feel God created music as a gift to us. Because he created us in their image. Because He knows first-hand how it speaks to His soul. It speaks of power, It soothes the mind, and it can open hearts to a LOVE and a range of emotions that live deep with our soul. So keep singing, Keep listening, Keep playing. My heart sings songs to him that only he can hear. 

Doesn’t that make you say Hallelujah? You have been blessed and spared of hearing my vocals. 

I say keep singing he is listening!! 

Thank you to all the creatives that have listened and created songs that bridge our world with our creators’ hearts...

Light (God)

  He came as a witness to testify concerning that light so that through him all might believe. John1:1:15

  

In the King James Bible, the third best-selling translation, the word "light" appears a total of 235 times.


Light” in the Bible can be a metaphor for life, happiness, righteousness, or understanding. The Bible is clear that light comes from the Lord God, the “Father of the heavenly lights”

You can see Him in the beauty of the sky. You can see Him in the trees that reach for the heavens. You can feel Him in the warm summer breeze that brushes upon your skin. You can hear Him in the sweet melody of a song. You can smell Him in the crispness of the winter air. You can taste Him in the sweetness of life you witness unfolding before your eyes ...His light will engulf your senses and guide you on the most amazing spiritual journey you can ever experience.  

We are all seeking a brighter existence. Our souls crave it. Our hearts long for it. We are seeking a deep peace in our souls. We are seeking absolute acceptance, and deep love in our hearts. When we are blessed by His gift of light. He will ignite a burning fire in your soul. Allowing His light to illuminate within you. You will be pulled closer to his majestic presence and his light will shine through you lighting the path for others. 

I pray that his children unite and boldly spill His light upon the darkest corners of the earth. Oh, how I LOVE the light, Be the light! Unite! For I am a child of the light.

It's Him, It's always Him.


“Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.”John 12:36 NIV

“Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark but will have the Light which is Life.”
John 8:12 AMPC

“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 AMPC

False

   Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves. MATTHEW 7:15

 


There are 54 verses about false teachings. 

Meaning of false: not true or correct; erroneous: a false statement. uttering or declaring what is untrue: a false witness.


Ok so just WOW… Are any of you feeling like me, on information overload??  There is so much information these days. So many things affecting our peace of mind and daily sleep patterns. No matter where I turn, tv, newspapers, and the web we are on information overload. Yes, we are living in a world of crisis and unprecedented times. Yes, we have a global issue of epic proportions??? It’s called Covid19!! Yes, the president seems to be giving us daily updates? And new stats at every turn. 

When I am in information overload, I tune out and TUNE IN so I can catch my breath. I reach for my Bible and try to dive into the word and escape with Jesus. This alone time is where I can regain my sanity. One story leads to another and before you know it, I am in a prayer conversation with the one who gives me peace of mind and soothes my soul ... 

I always share with him what is in mind on my heart. So, Today I asked why are there so many people believing everything they hear and see???  It’s very disconcerting?? So many are in panic mode?? When we see the word pandemic in the news? Do we review it with all the sources available?  Do we cross-reference the subject to a comfortable level and come to a conclusion for ourselves and our families? 

I would hope the answer is yes.  But what jumps out at me at every turn are the ones that continue to share their thoughts about the end of the world? Rumors of war and end times? Just how do we understand and sift through the glut of so many diverse facts and opinions?  

Everyone has their take on what is happening? Many state God has spoken to them? About Politics, Conspiracies, Chemical (germ)warfare! Etc.… They even back it up with scriptures mostly in the book of revelations?  We even have many people that have nothing more than an opinion "LIVE" on Facebook to enlighten us further?  I feel my head is spinning as we speak and it's not from Covid19...

I am of the opinion this is what drives many to panic mode?  I am by no means claiming to be an expert. And LOVE God for giving us insight to our future. But I do know that when I feel a tug in my heart and an unsettling feeling in my soul. 

I MUST turn to God and our Savior for answers. I know they will gently walk me through scriptures and speak to my soul. Thus, helping me get a comfort level if the statements are TRUE or FALSE. I began to question, are the news commentaries and articles written lining up with GOD’s word and teachings? They must align with ALL of his teachings, not just one chapter or not just one scripture or not one word. When taken out of contents I feel they can be used to misguided our hearts. I feel that when it aligns with God's word is when the truth will resonate deep within your soul.  

So, I urge you to watch, listen, and read everything.  Sift the subject through God’s hands, and his word, let him speak to your soul and help you sift out false rumors before reacting to anything we see and hear.  We do need to stay informed to the best of our ability while staying grounded in Christ to make the very best decision possible as we travel through this life crisis.  

Do not be led into panic mode by false teachings. Be diligent in the discovery of facts and pray, pray a lot, have that conversation with God. Conduct your life with your discerning soul.  May peace replace panic. May love replace hate, and may we get through this thing we call life together.  ✌️✝🌎 When you feel you are in overload mode. Tune out and TUNE IN to God's Word, and... Just Breathe!

“Also, at that time, many people will say that they are prophets from God. Their message is false, but many people will believe them.”
Matthew 24:11 

“But [on the other hand] the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification [to promote their spiritual growth] and [speaks words of] encouragement [to uphold and advise them concerning the matters of God] and [speaks words of] consolation [to compassionately comfort them].”1 Corinthians 14:3 AMP 

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2 Timothy 4:3

Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1

Pray

"God speaks in the silence of the heart. 
Listening is the beginning of prayer." 
 Mother Teresa

In the King James version the word - pray - appears 313 times. 

The meaning of prayer: a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship:

Prayer? What’s that? I don’t have the time? When do we pray? To who do we pray? Am I doing right? Is God listening? Will my prayers be answered?  When looking back at my life I have prayed more in the last 23 months than I have prayed in my entire lifetime. Like most of us, I prayed when I had a life situation that I could not handle... an illness of a loved one, a test, a hospital stay, a doctor appointment. Etc. 

However, so many things have changed in the last few months. This includes my prayer life.  During this time my prayers have evolved into the most amazing heart-opening conversations with the most beautiful Souls I have ever encounter. My Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.  My doubts and questions have been answered one by one.  Prayer is the most amazing time of every day.  It is alone time with one or all of the Triune.  There is always time to pray because of the Omnipresence of God he hears you no matter where or what time it is.  Isn’t that a beautiful thing!  His ears and heart are open 365 days a year! Anytime day or night!  When I questioned to whom should I pray?  I am so confused? The Father? The Son? The Holy Spirit?  I will share something beautiful that transpired during these months. In my prayer, to God, I told him I could not call him Father it was way to formal because we were in communication so often and Father seemed so formal? 

Some may think that it is a little odd. But it is what brought a unique closeness. So that day with his help I started calling him LOVE. Because that is what I think of when I think of Him. Roll forward about 5 months and it was soon to be Easter and I felt like I was leaving 2 very important souls out ?? That is when my name for the Father (LOVE) turned in LOVEs. Since that day my prayers are directed to the Trinity. So, when I am asked to whom you pray. The answer is simple I pray to My LOVEs ... they are my Three in ONE. The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

The question for many becomes,  Am I doing it right? I believe there is no wrong or right. You just need to take the time and speak to them from your heart. Are they listening? Of course, they are! There are times we feel God is not listening. But truly he is always listening and always in control. We may not get what we pray for? We do not know what’s ahead. However, if we seek him and hold on to him with everything we have. He will see us through all the times ahead the good as well as the challenges. Here are a few things that have impacted my prayer life I hope sharing it blesses at least one soul. 

1. Spend time building a relationship with them. (Triune)
2. Listen to music that moves your soul when you pray. It will turn prayers that are robotic and flat to many passionate loves filled conversations. (earbuds recommended) 
3. Document your conversations. It is amazing to look back and see how your faith has grown. 
4. Ask them what you can do for them.  It's not always a take situation. 
5. Relax and just love them but be ready to be loved back. 
6.Show gratitude 

Praying can be the most heartwarming, soul searching, gift we can ever give and receive. Don't let those prayers be left unsaid! Well, all this talk of prayer is planting a desire for me to close my eyes and escape for a while. Bye till next time! 🙏🏻

“One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. He finished praying. Then, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Master, John taught his disciples how to pray. Please teach us as he did.’” Luke 11:1 EASY

Balance


Balance is listed 17 times in the Bible. 

Meaning of Balance: an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and steady:

As our world seems to be spinning out of control. Most of us are helplessly staying locked up in our homes as we watch the details of the coronavirus play havoc with our, health, our finances, our sanity? My fragmented thoughts drifted to the word balance. And how the scales are shifting with every new moment that ticks by?  How do we cope in the days and challenges ahead?? How do we bring our individual world into some type of order and balance ...

When my thoughts drifted to the word balance? I immediately thought of a game I play with my granddaughter. We stand arms stretched out from our shoulders, we lift one foot 3 or 4 inches from the floor and hold it as long as we can.  A great test of balance and a true challenge between generations. lol. We normally can hold that position for approximately 1-3 minutes. I do believe this is a good example of how many of us relate to God.  We try to balance life, health, and love on our own? We struggle and think we can do it without God’s help, a least for a little while. But eventually, we will lose our balance and touch the ground and lose and or possibly take a major fall. 

So, I ask myself how can we avoid this?? And again, my heart always brings me to realize it’s Him!! He is always the answer 😁. However, this word unveiled a bit more information... He is our assurance, He is our lifeline, He is our love...  But in order to bring all the elements that affect our life, into a beautiful stable balance.  He MUST be in the center of your heart, then even if the scales tip as our life challenges arise.  He will be there to hold you while you work through any situation. He will love you with a Love that will fill your every need. He will bring a balance to every facet of your Life!!  Run to Him, make him the center of your heart, and ultimately the core of your life. It’s His promise of LOVE that will stabilize your world. 

Tip the scales in your favor!

 We should be balanced by loving God and enjoying earthly blessings while not putting any hope in them. Timothy 6:17.

For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

Answer

 A gentle answer turns away wrath. But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1

 

There is 17 scripture that references the word answer.

 

The meaning of answer: a thing said, written, or done to deal with or as a reaction to a question, statement, or situation:

 

The word answer can cause us to pause when we are searching for solutions or just reasons for things that happen in our daily lives.  In our present fractured world and with events that seem to change faster than we can even comprehend. 

Like millions across the world, many of us have asked Google, Suri, or have searched on our computer in hopes that our choice of electronics would point us in some kind of direction. We are starving for a few moments of sanity, hope, and peace and are searching for answers to what seems to be a bad dream. I am guilty as well, we have such a vast amount of information right at our fingertips. However, while in my search I am so disheartened by the things I see?? I see so many references about the demise of our world.  

 

The END. Yes, it is written. The Bible is full of clues. Tribulations Wars, Earthquakes, Floods, Pandemics.? These subjects are scary? I must admit I have not read revelations in its entirety? But as I began to question how could this be? My Heavenly Father is the very essence of the greatness LOVE we will ever know?  That is who he is!  How could the Bible have such a dark chapter and it not contain His Love?? This boggled my mind?? So, I started to look for answers. And guess what???  I found it!! 

There is Love in revelations. But it seems many people share the bleakness of our future! And they do not seem to mention who God LOVED and adored the most! It’s His Beautiful Son Jesus.  His power and Love spills out on the pages in revelations as well.  I do agree we need to understand the full picture and yes there will be trials, most likely of epic proportions. 

We are living through one right now it’s called COVID-19, And unless you are under a rock you are fully aware of our situation.  However, in my quest for answers, I did find LOVE smack the middle of revelations. It’s Him it is always Him. He is our Savior, He is our Prince of Peace, He is the Greatest LOVE story we will ever know...

So please don’t panic, open your Bible or Bible app, get on your knees, and just LOVE Him  your life is in His hands and our future is with Him. Let Him point us in the direction we should go. His LOVE Frequency will never have a blackout!! So, plugin and get that fire burning in our hearts 🔥❤.

 

May God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit live in heart of God's people today! Stay Safe. 

 

Answer = 

it’s Him, it’s always Him 😍

 

“But anyone who tells messages from God is speaking to other people. That person is helping other people to understand more so that they become stronger. Also, he is helping people to be more sure and happier. He is helping them to be without trouble in their minds.”

1 Corinthians 14:3 EASY 

 

“And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb (Christ), each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of fragrant incense, which are the prayers of the saints (God’s people).”

Revelation 5:8 AMP

 

“Then I looked, and this is what I saw: The Lamb stood [firmly established] on Mount Zion and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had His name and His Father’s name inscribed on their foreheads [signifying God’s own possession]. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of great waters and like the rumbling of mighty thunder; and the voice that I heard [seemed like music and] was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne [of God] and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased (ransomed, redeemed) from the earth.” Revelation 14:1-3 AMP

 

“The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen” (Rev. 22:21).

Cry

(He will wipe every tear from their eyes.) 

Cry appears 57 times in the King James Bible.

Meaning of cry shed tears, typically as an expression of distress, pain, or sorrow: weep

The word cry hits home in these turbulent times that we presently are facing. From one day to the next our world has made a dramatic change??? How did things get so terrible so fast?? This is a serious time, but if truth be told it has been unfolding for a long while. It is bringing many of us through a full range of emotions. And we find ourselves with many unanswered questions?? How can we survive?  What can we do? Are we at the mercy of our government to make global decisions? We have little to no control? However, we must look to mitigate the things that we can control.  

We ALL must be vigilant in taking all personal and necessary actions of containing and not spreading this vicious virus. It brings darkness and anxiety that can consume our very existence. When I think of My Family, My Friends, and Our World? I have been brought to tears by the uncertainty of life and the days ahead. I find those moments are heartfelt but fleeting... Ever since that pivotal moment in time when I was introduced to an amazing solution to any situation. I now do not allow any issue to play havoc with my heart and soul ... When and if I feel a hint of darkness. 

I immediately call upon My Savior, My Hero, My God, My LOVEs...There is where I feed my soul. Although I may not get an immediate remedy. My perspective will change as I get close His illuminating light, or dive into His word... That is where I find HOPE! That is when the darkness will lift, and light will shine brighter from within... My tears turn from sadness to tears of worship. Tears of worship can bring miracles and cleanse our souls. That is where our strength can be found. That is where our peace can be felt. That is where the healing begins.  It’s in His Love for His Children! That is, you and me ...

Search for Him, Find Him, Love Him ... as much as He loves you...!! He has loved you from the beginning of time and has promised to Love you to the end. Then I smiled because I remembered that He has also promised us that we would be with him for eternity. And that is a promise we all must raise our hands and say I am here count me in... 

Revelation 21:4
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” NLT.

Music

The Lord gifted the birds to sing a lovely melody to Him early in the morning.(Psalm 147:7)

Music is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. However, I must confess I enjoyed music as a child but as an adult, I did not possess a large collection of music.  I did not have a particular genre or artist that I liked. I do not play an instrument, nor do I sing for public ears to hear... (lol). However, God's plan for me changed so many things in my life including a new-found love of music... Like many of us, I rely on talented men and women to bring the tune, melodies, and lyrics to life. 

However, I DO believe that Music is a gift from heaven. My story started when a friend introduced me to her songs where I heard and felt a stirring in my soul of spiritual nature. As she faded from my life ... And with each passing day, my focus became clear, and God began to gently guide me to songs that spoke to my heart and soul delivering thought-provoking messages. I felt a love that I had never experienced before, and this LOVE began to grow... It seems that the music and lyrics began to fuel a spark for God that laid dormant in my heart and soul for a very long time. And that spark became a fire and my relationship with God became alive. Several months ago, my new found loves merged and that blew my soul wide open. That day like many days before I had been listening to a song on my iPhone’s earbuds while writing in my note app.  

 When suddenly from nowhere my writing began to be my prayer to my Heavenly Father... Then with the music playing something magical happened. I found my communication with God became alive with a passion I did not even know existed. My prayers were no longer flat and robotic. or as I describe them “grey” they were full of vibrant colors and held a love for God that has grown to a beautiful mutual love and understanding. 

My prayers are no longer prayers, but indeed they have become conversations. Since that day I have continued to listen to music and write my communication (prayers) with him. I now have over 290+ songs that I have downloaded most within the last 22 months ... To continue my quest for knowledge about the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. And from the gentle nudging of a dear friend, four weeks ago I finally started to open the Bible. And to my excitement and surprise, I found music engrained and travels throughout the pages of the Bible ... Did you know there are over 1150 verses in the Bible that reference a form of the following words, which may be related to music: music. melody. song. hymn. instrument. sound.

As a gift to yourself, I challenge you to try praying to music that moves your soul. You may never be the same. (earbuds and writing your conversations with God is fully recommended) .

“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” Ephesians 5:19 KJV

'I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.' Psalms 104:33 

'Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.'
