Just a little bit of life Lately!

     Hello my dear followers, I know its probably been like forever since ive posted a blog post, but Im going to try to post one atleast once or twice a week. Life has hit me with alot of tests and trials to overcome lately. But besides that I just want to remind you all that the Lord has your back through every area. Tough times may come, but the weapon to overcome these trials is the WORD OF GOD, and PRAISE. That's one of the greatest thing to overcome. I currently have started college again so I dont really have alot of time for this fun stuff anymore. For me now it goes GOD, Church, Family/Friends, and then School, and all this other fun stuff last. So since I had some dead time Im writing away whats on my little mind of mind because thats the easiest way for me to just sit down and relax.  So many things and stress has tried to come about me this week, but me as the Christian I am I say no no no, you stinking lying devil. My daily reminder is this "All things through Christ is possible for Me Sarah Elizabeth who strengthens me" That's called meditating on a verse you stand on and replacing it with yours or something you are believing or trusting God for. The bible reference is Phillipians 4:13 "All things are possible through Christ through Christ who strengthens us."  I would like to share a little bit of how my week has been in pictures later on in this post.  I want to share a little bit of  my moments with the Lord this week, and Scriptures that sunk so deeply into my heart!

"We are cleansed by Jesus blood and the blood has overcome the enemy"

"But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. // Hebrews 11:6

"Thanks be to God who has not rejected my prayer or taken away his mercy from Me" // Psalm 66:20

"The christian life is sweet and full of rewards"

I have been speaking and declaring that 2013 is going to be the best year yet. All things are coming to pass. Have you written out your goals or the things you are trusting God for through out this year!

Some sweet words I received this week from a dear Gem! (:
 "I am praying for you as you start school after this crazy, and I am sure overwhelming weekend. Love you sweet girl. You are precious!!! "The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm." - Proverbs 19:15
Hugs, friend!! Love you!! Thankful for you friendship - you are so precious and dear to me"

Just those sweet words are so dear, and touching to my life.

 Some Music that has lifted me up so dearly the last couple of days, and I just praise my God like nobody is watching, wherever, and whenever.

  

 

With Love, Sarah Elizabeth!

Praying for you, Leave me your prayer requests!

How is your toungue?

     
 First Id like to mention that most of my reference to this blog post came from a powerful book called, Does your tongue need healing? by Derek Prince! If you do not have that book, borrow it or buy it. Definitely life changing. I read this book in like 2 hours, could not put it down. 2 words, life changing!

      The title says it all, How is your tongue? Did you know the power of what you speak can either help or destroy you? "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit// Proverbs 18:21 Nas" If its written in the book of life (BIBLE) it must be correct right? Well it is! The Lord dealt with me pretty hard tonight about how some of my actions have been, and some of the things I have been saying. All of this happened as I was listening to the word on my phone, and texting with my spiritual mother. Matter of fact I was in tears, Crazy huh? But I praise God that his forgiveness is so good. There is so many forgiveness scriptures, check it out in that Bible for yourself. It is so important to have a clean and pure heart, because A wicked one is the Enemy coming to kill steal and destroy. As you can see what comes out of your mouth shows how your heart is on the inside. We definitely will have a life full of sorrow if we cant control our tongues and lips. I want to let you know even the best christian, or spiritual believer slips, but Gods forgiveness is amazing. Remember our words determine destiny! Something to think about right? Hopefully I got your mind thinking tonight, because mine is, but from the power of God.

"The healing of the tongue is a tree of life"

"Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely"

"The words of a gossip are like morsels; they go down to a man inmost parts // Proverbs 18:8"

"Unless this disease of lying is arrested and healed it is sure to be fatal"


Diseases of the toungue!

1. Excessive Talking
2. Idle or careless words
3. Gossip
4. Lying 
5. Flattery
6. Hastiness of speech

"A pure spring is the Holy Spirit"

"The blood of Jesus doesn't cleanse in the dark"

First steps on healing our tongue!

1. Call your problem by it's right name. Sin!
2. Confess your sin and receive Forgiveness and cleansing! (Read 1st John 1:7-9)
3. Refuse sin, yield to God 

My heart was heavy, but thats why God invented Praise, so Get your praise on! 

 

The greatest blessings are yet to come! Halleluah, this is the year. 

God dont make no Junk, so dont receive it!

Well, I hope you guys are doing lovely!

With Love- Sarah Elizabeth!

Psalm 16:8 

Im also thinking about alot of dear friends tonight, I want you all to know I am very much praying for you, and I love you guys!

•  Erin
• Amy 
• Rachel(Both)
• Katey 

And praying for all of you sweet followers too! The best is coming, hold on to that, dont give up!

What God has placed on my heart to share.

       Lord I want to say thankyou for all you have done in my life recently, the people you have blessed me with. My spiritual family has changed my world around and its so precious to me. When you connected to a family through the spirit of God cherish it. I enjoy the moments I get to talk about God with them, the moments I recieve the biggest comforting hugs, thats so dear and precious to me.

People have been bashing me about my faith and how I share so many verses in my social networking sites, but thats how the Lord uses me to be an affect on other peoples lifes. God has kind of started a form of ministry up for me in some sort of way if thats how you want to look at it. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.(1st John 2:15)" Thankyou God for showing me the difference from the people who live for this evil world, and the people who show the Love of God through them. I am just so in awe right now of the Love my God has been showing me the last couple of days.  Do not Judge others, because that is a trait not of God. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.(Matthew 7:1). Living for God is one of the greatest possible things I could possibly decided to do. Yes I have went through so many trials, but I finally feel loved unconditionally for once.
"Father of orphans, champion of widows,is God in his holy house. God makes homes for the homeless,leads prisoners to freedom, but leaves rebels to rot in hell." That is the message version of Psalm 68:5". Isn't that verse so precious, it brings me so very much comfort to every ordinary day in life. Tonight I just have overall so much Joy over my heart, because the peace of God lives and me and takes complete control of my life. "They overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.." Revelation 12:11 That verse is absolutely so very good. Doesn't it bring complete Joy knowing that we have overcome that peewee satan. How do you renew your mind with Gods word? You feed on his word, Meditate on it, And act on it making it a part of your everyday life. That is something that you as a Christian should live on. Dont play pretend, its either your a doer of the Word or you just arent a faithful christian. Sorry if that sounded a little heart but thats completely true.You realize that the bible is not only a book to be read, but it contains Gods Words that are to be lived; they are instructions to you for your everyday life. It is God speaking to you. It is what you govern your life by. You are a doer of what the Word says. Halleluah, God is just so precious to my life lately. 
        

I wanted to personally say thankyou to Rachel, Erin, and Katey for being my spiritual sisters from across the country, and to Erin who is here in Cali. You guys are true gems in my life, I personally thank God everyday for you 3 girls, true blessings. And as to everyone else I love you very much, God blessed me with amazing people and I am just in awe of what and who the Lord has blessed me with.

To my bestfriends I adore you completely.

 "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1:9)  My ultimate favorite bible verse.

I want all of you to know, that I run after God and more of him, and I dont pay attention to the evil satan brings in this world.  I have been studying Revelations, and it has deffinetely taught me so much. I suggest that everyone goes deep into that chapter.. (:

Psalms and Proverbs are very comforting if you are looking for some uplifting encouragement.

Dont give up now, you can overcome every fear that you have if you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Lastily, I would like to leave you with a song that just brings me overall complete Joy in every trial and just every situation.

"Remember to hug somebody today, and tell somebody you love them"- Sarah Elizabeth <3

     The Lord has been dealing with me on the meaning friendship. It's been really hard lately because for awhile because i went thru a trial of depression because I felt i was the reason why i had lost so many friends and it was so hard on me. I would continually ask God if I did something wrong, and where did all of my friends go? God told me something that second, the reason why some of them aren't around anymore is because you are better then that. They want to use you, and steal you from the word of God and Me being your heavenly Father is tired of seeing you hurt. Basically I had a couple friends still, but it took me getting so lost in God to realize why all of that happen. He said to me, Sarah get close in Me deeply and I'll bring those friends who uplift you with Faith back into your life. I realized how important the meaning of friendship really is for being a strong christian. Then out of know where i get connected with some of the most precious spiritual girls across the country and believe in uplifting me and prayers and not let me fall into those worldly tactics (Alcohol, Drugs, Sex before Marriage, and so much) I'm so thankful for those Precious people, Amy, Rachel, Erin, Rachel, Katey, Alicia, and so many more!!! A lesson definitely taught to me was to know who you are in Christ Jesus, and not to compromise for the World. It is important to be around friends you want to be like because they will rub off on you. The greatest friend of all is God. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you, cleanse your hands you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded" (James 4:8)  How to pick a friend? "Do not be deceived, Bad company ruins good morals" (1st Corinthians 15:33)" What's the importance of having a friend?  "A friend loves at all times,  and a brother is born for adversity" (Proverbs 17:17) .................. "Iron sharpens Iron, and one man sharpens another"(Proverbs 27:17) 

I want to personally thank Katey and Rachel for being such awesome friends to me.

   

   How to choose A True loyal friend? Pastor Melina told the youth this.

• Live for God
• Goes to church
• Same Morals
• Good intentions

"Friends that read the bible, pray for you, and speak well of you are a treasure" -Sarah Elizabeth

"All things are possible thru Christ who strengthens you" (Philippians 4:13)

Some of those i shared, are absolutely Precious, and im so blessed to have a best friend called God and all the awesome people he has put into my life.
 

Prayer for a friend!

Lord, I give you My Dear Friends and thank you for them.
I thank you for everything that they are
And for all their gifts and talents.
I thank you for the many things that they have given to others
And for all the kindness that they have shown me.

Lord, at the beginning of time You breathed Your life into creation
May you breathe Your life into them now
So that each step they take is filled with Your faith
Each thought they think is filled with Your hope
and each moment they live is filled with Your love.

May they fully know Your life
And fully live in Your love
This day and every day

Amen

"My friends are so dear and treasure to me"

With Love, Sarah Elizabeth
