We learned that night while sitting at the King&#39;s feet how important it is to just that!  To stop all that we are doing and &quot;PAUSE,  with God.  Those good acts of service are robbing us! We need to PAUSE and allow him to serve and minister to us! Allow him to clean our basement, our bathroom and even our attics!  If we are so busy doing and doing and doing there is no time for him to meet us where him need him at!  That could your past hurts, you hang-ups! addictions!  Stop being Martha with an offended soul, a broken heart or a wounded Little girl  Spirit in a grown body and sit at your Father&#39;s Feet and Heal!  Then climb up in his lap and learn who HE is as God YOUR FATHER!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the ladies that attended posted on a blog this question, How can you know God as Father is you had no Earthly example?  She understood serving God as a King! But how does she relate to him as God her Father?  I responded to her, that knowing that God had formed her in Mother&#39;s womb, knowing the number of hairs on her head and creating one with a purpose and destiny where all forms of Intimacy! Intimacy, In to me see! Who can see into you and know you better that one who created you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other Lessons Learned:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be called to Ministry but if you are not delivered from that AREA (Example: called to minister to recovering sex addicts but you are still struggling yourself)  you will targeted by Satan because you are week.&lt;br /&gt;Prioritize Your Time Wisely.&lt;br /&gt;Fear is a Lack of Faith: If God called YOU, He will EQUIP you!

Ladies willing to let God use their gifts,their hearts and their experiences with God.  As we where praying and worshiping our way through the night  one of the Ladies came up to give her testimony.  Her testimony was one of a past of drug use, prostitution and low self-esteem.   She had sank so low she found her self behind bars.  This would be her time to discover  truth! The truth that she was created for a purpose. That there was  purpose behind her pain and that she was loved.  Her story of recovery continues.  As she brought her testimony to an end I could feel the tears welling up inside myself.  My spirit was witness with hers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I had also spent a season of my life giving  myself away to men for a love I could not find and for NO MONEY.  I too once used drugs. I too was not fit to raise my children even though I  was saved from  that disgrace. This was a new experience for me. This was the first time, as tears flowed down my face, that I publicly admitted to what I had been saved from!  I had written it down but never had the courage to speak it out loud! Finally the shame and worrying about what others might think or say was gone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of ladies thanked us for our willingness to share, she said we where RENOVATED WOMEN!  I like the sound of that! I have been RENOVATED by a Savior that has at all points been tempted as I have been.  I am Saved by a Savior that knew what I WOULD DO before I did it and chose me anyway!  Is there anything that needs to be RENOVATED in your Life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the evening continued on till the morning we all witnessed the power of the HOLY SPIRIT! We experienced a Night with the King!  We where encouraged to have a fighting faith that takes it by force!  And we where asked,  &quot;What is that one thing you have been waiting for God to do because He is here!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, I had been asking for a wall to fall down that was preventing me from ministering as effective as I could. I believe my prayer was answered. I had been asking  for direction, I believe direction was given!  God is up to something!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~Leanne</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/6477588045654850907/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=6477588045654850907' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/6477588045654850907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/6477588045654850907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2010/08/spending-night-with-king-and-his.html' title='Spending The Night With The King and His Daughters'/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260065394930274744.post-2759180107028382844</id><published>2010-06-09T14:57:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-09T15:56:15.263-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="iFellowship"/><title type='text'>iFellowship</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;We joined iFellowship today and are meeting some of the coolest Christian Moms and Ministry Leaders!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out Seeds of Faith today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seedsoffaithwomen.com/&quot;

I didn&#39;t even know who she was.  I wouldn’t allow myself to feel an emotion, especially when it counted the most:  loving my husband.  Love is the core of who we are!  Good or bad, love is at the core of who we become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was tired and lost.  Emotionally I didn&#39;t know up from down, who I was, or what I liked.  I didn&#39;t just lie to everyone close to me, I lied to myself.  I didn&#39;t even fully love Bill. I liked him more than anyone in my life, but didn&#39;t know how to love him.  Something had to give because I was making Bill and myself miserable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the summer of 1997 I gave my life to God.  Within a few days of my salvation, God began to teach me about letting go and trusting Him.  I decided to test the waters by opening my heart one area at a time.  I was so surprised that I even allowed this to happen because I guarded my heart so closely.  I read the scripture that God loves me more than the sands on the beaches.  I thought to myself, “That&#39;s a lot of sand, Cherie.”  It took a long time to let go and let God break down my walls--walls that I had spent the majority of my life building.  But even with all the rocky roads, we were on our way!  :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who have been with me from the beginning of this ministry you know and have witnessed the changes God is doing within me.  I love freely now and my marriage is healthy.  I have even let myself fall in love with Bill--my husband--the man God chose for me!  I have learned to love Bill and others in my life unconditionally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bible.cc/isaiah/49-16.htm&quot;&gt;&quot;See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.&quot; Isaiah 49:16&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If any of this resonates in your heart and spirit please know that God loves you regardless of the fact that you didn&#39;t know how to love Him in return or how to accept His love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cherie ♥</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/240772736702099551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=240772736702099551' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/240772736702099551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/240772736702099551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2010/06/breaking-down-walls.html' title='Breaking Down Walls'/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0zAoQ0HU6KJHIVbLTS8Nj0AeEaewAARYCy8WpmA2_pXwUNcuNdvg11zWHGZnT1sT1i7c6xzzjPpsrHO6Q7w32NPToxZMo5H-Xnv5JvflQ5DNGJnKDkaa_8gogsgm7UiQwNoJ0TQw0FEg/s72-c/brick_wall.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260065394930274744.post-2143406048188087667</id><published>2010-05-27T14:26:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-28T17:40:36.063-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Blog Makeover"/><title type='text'>Blog Makeover!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;SALT is getting a makeover thanks to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maryhess.com/&quot;&gt;MaryJoHess&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is my heart that this blog resounds the vision God gave me  4 years ago straight from 2 Kings. The look and feel will reflect this vision as well as our lives as women, wives, moms, daughters, sisters, and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Healing the hearts of women is our desire. We want to be used as Salt by God through our testimonies and walks. We are His vessels and have received His salt in many ways for many years . It is now time to pour out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leanne and I are excited about introducing two new additions to our team. Our desire is to bring a  diverse perspective to your life by opening our own before you in the most transparent way possible while hitting the taboo and tough issues we face today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will also feature other writers who&#39;s blogs have touched our hearts and ministered to us in deep and profound ways!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are women and as such we no longer have to walk in pain, un-forgiveness, bitterness, or as a victim. We are the King&#39;s Daughters and by Jesus&#39; stripes we are healed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for more to come!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then, check out Mary Hess!

Through God ministering to me through her teaching I indeed began to take back what the devil had stolen from me.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;   style=&quot;font-family:&#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF6666;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:&#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://calvarydeliveranceanm.com/fr_intro.cfm&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF6666;&quot;&gt;http://calvarydeliveranceanm.com/fr_intro.cfm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:&#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF6666;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:&#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF6666;&quot;&gt;Thanks for taking the time to read, this post and stay tuned for more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:&#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF6666;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:&#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF6666;&quot;&gt;~Leanne~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/3385335211043268437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=3385335211043268437' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/3385335211043268437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/3385335211043268437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2010/05/if-any-of-you-have-read-main-salt.html' title=''/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260065394930274744.post-3073578259882707688</id><published>2010-04-17T22:03:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-17T22:52:19.353-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Spiritual Realm Part II</title><content type='html'>Last week I took at a look at the spiritual realm, of whom God is the Most High. My key scripture passage was Colossians 1:15 &amp;amp;16. I made the observation that the Church of Jesus Christ in the Western world seldom confronts or even addresses that there are spirits, all of whom move counter to our purpose to pursuit the Most High, God Almighty.    I asked three questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;What do we do with those invisible &quot;thrones or powers or rules or authorities&quot;? (referencing the key scripture passage.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What is it to be Children of the Most High?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What does it mean to worship Him (God, Most High) in spirit and in truth?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;1 John 4:16 &quot;We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us.  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;God is love&lt;/span&gt;, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God  abides in him.&quot; (NASB)&lt;/blockquote&gt;God is a spirit, and God is love. So then, love is a spirit.  Love is the Most High, supreme above any other power or principality or authority in operation.  Being Children of the Most High means that we are Children of Love.  Supreme Love.  Jesus put aside His position in heaven to come to earth and dwell among us, as a man, expressing His Father. Expressing Love.  Showing us how to walk as Children of the Most High, doing only what He saw the Father do and saying only what the Father says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little is much with God.  I&#39;ll leave this and wait to see what your responses are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you prosper even as your soul prospers. Amen and Selah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alice</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/3073578259882707688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=3073578259882707688' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/3073578259882707688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/3073578259882707688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2010/04/spiritual-realm-part-ii.html' title='The Spiritual Realm Part II'/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260065394930274744.post-1053961693248382781</id><published>2010-04-08T23:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-08T23:40:40.642-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Spiritual Realm</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHg2nkqAtJlIH_i5Eefimn4GMWdYseZjbck1nYWrBgzbHXMLKcIcMxurBtldcWsu1xFs72UwoQieCxNQeyo5BcyxYlJJMJ2clpRRl1e8-7iDHHYwuGl1QBt1-8vWc4KwQO9iIssWLChJ0/s1600/NaganoZenkojiKomainu01.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHg2nkqAtJlIH_i5Eefimn4GMWdYseZjbck1nYWrBgzbHXMLKcIcMxurBtldcWsu1xFs72UwoQieCxNQeyo5BcyxYlJJMJ2clpRRl1e8-7iDHHYwuGl1QBt1-8vWc4KwQO9iIssWLChJ0/s200/NaganoZenkojiKomainu01.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457973100805008466&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;blockquote&gt;15He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Col%201:15%20-%2020&amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Col.1:15&amp;16&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, what a Savior! I must apologize for the time elapsed since last I blogged. I confess that I had so much within me that it was difficult to sift the ideas that dwell in me into the singular thing that I felt should be next. As Leanne has mentioned, God has told me that I must get into a regular habit of writing and I was excited for the task! I still am excited, but I ask forgiveness for allowing the time to get away from me. With the help of God, I shall be consistent and coherent! Onward!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Jacksonville, we are preparing for a coming together to allow God to move and speak among us as only He can. I have felt a stirring in me to address a thing which I find the Western Church seldom wishes to really address: the spiritual realm or the &quot;invisible&quot; that is referred to in the above scripture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to explain what I mean by the Western Church. I grew up in a military family with a Korean mother. This means that we moved constantly and for our family in particular, we lived overseas in Japan for long periods of time. I am grateful for both my mother and the life experience of living in an Eastern Culture. The mindsets of East and West are truly as far apart spiritually as they are geographically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Eastern mindset finds the Western approach to Christ difficult to absorb because we don&#39;t see the Spiritual Realm as a regular and daily topic of discussion. Look at India and their pantheon of gods of all kinds, &quot;great and small.&quot; They are referred to daily, hourly at times as a normal way of life. But the Western Church labels this topic a sort of mystical taboo. We, the Western Church, acknowledge that God is a Spirit and pretty much come to a full stop right there. What do we do when we read the above scripture? &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;What do we do with those invisible thrones or powers or rulers or authorities?&lt;/span&gt; Blithely we read it and promptly -&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;immediately&lt;/span&gt;- forget the significance of an invisible world, of whom God is the Most High. We treat it literally as most any Western mindset will treat it; Out of sight, out of mind. We live by &quot;tangible&quot; proofs and thus, we almost never address the spirits assigned to disrupt our pursuit of the Most High.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am reminded of a woman I met who was a European that had married an American Service Member. She was literate, well spoken and very educated. She was pursuing a degree in Philosophy and through a mutual friend, we met as acquaintances who recognized in the other a delight in philosophical debate. She found my faith something to deride. You see, she had a personal experience back in a time when finding your &quot;past life&quot; was a popular thing to do. She had been given &quot;actual memories&quot; of a previous life and when she researched those memories, she found an ancestor in her own family tree who she felt lived these &quot;memories.&quot; She felt vindicated in her position as a non-believer. She had a special, for-her-only, experience. I prayed many times about her because I knew that no meeting is an accident. I had insights that I felt was not safe to give her. She finally prodded me on this experience of hers, which she felt was as real as any I had ever experienced in my worship of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One evening as I was fixing my coffee, she cornered me and asked me bluntly &quot;How, in light of your religion, can you explain my experiences? My memories?&quot; I told her honestly that I didn&#39;t feel she&#39;d appreciate my response because many believers that I knew wouldn&#39;t accept it either. She must have heard a challenge in my statement because she straightened beside me and said, &quot;Try me. I have a very open mind.&quot; So I told her the truth that God had revealed to me when I had prayed about her. &quot;You are deceived by the enemy. It&#39;s the enemy&#39;s only job to deceive and destroy you and he will do it by any means necessary. The father of lies is as real as God is. Satan has one task and he has been at it for millenia. You accepted his invitation to open yourself to an experience any demon could give you. It isn&#39;t hard for an eternal being to be assigned to your family going back generations and feed you just enough of what you want to believe to ensnare your mind and capture you away from Jesus.&quot; I totally expected this woman, who was very strong willed and outspoken, to rip into me with venom. Little did I realize that her heart had been prepared to hear the truth and feel God witness in her spirit. She gave her heart to Jesus that night. She is now a powerful prayer warrior! To God be the glory!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been my experience, from childhood, that few Western Churched Christians are actually willing to discuss the spiritual realm as a current, actual, non-mythical realm. They will talk about how Jesus&#39; life is historically confirmed. They will talk about how Jesus fulfilled prophecy. They will talk about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%205:%201-11&amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Ananias and Sapphira&lt;/a&gt; being punished for attempting to lie to the Holy Spirit as a &quot;Back then, at the beginning of the Church...&quot; but they won&#39;t concede that the legion of spirits that Jesus sent into a herd of pigs are eternal beings who are STILL preying upon any they can devour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have an early memory of when I lived in Japan. I was barely 14, walking off-post on the Japanese economy on my way to a train station to travel to another Army post. It required that I pass by a temple. The picture I have with this blog is one of a temple dog. It represents a &quot;friendly&quot; guardian spirit that looks demonic on purpose. The eastern thinking behind this is that it has to be able to look scary to scare &quot;bad spirits&quot; away. There is an actual festival to invite such spirits to stick around and benefit those who celebrate their existence with such an open attempt at honoring them. This is actual worship of lesser spirits in the spiritual realm. This culture is inundated with spiritual interaction of an entire hierarchy of lesser beings. It&#39;s in daily conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was walking along and I didn&#39;t even realize I was passing a temple until I suddenly felt a weight on me, so stuffy, so evil and malevolent that I thought someone who intended evil for me was watching me. Have you ever had that feeling before? Someone with ill intent, watching you? Staring? I had it worse than I had ever felt in my life and I just knew whomever it was wanted me dead; Not just harmed but dead. I looked up and saw the temple and the temple dogs on the four corners and while I knew intellectually that the dogs were man-made and had no power in and of themselves, I also knew in my spirit that if a means were available, I would have been ripped apart in the most painful, torturous manner possible. I knew it just like you can sense when someone is watching you. I didn&#39;t know what I know today, to address that spirit but I can tell you that this event in my life is as clear to me as the day it occurred. Since that day, anytime I had to walk to the train station, I crossed the street to the other side well before I had to pass by that temple. Every time I neared it, I felt that other presence. I instinctively knew that because of Jesus in me, it was responding to me. If you are only now beginning to absorb the impact and truth of the spiritual realm please read the account of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2019:%2011-20&amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Seven sons of Sceva&lt;/a&gt;. If the same Holy Spirit of the Most High who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, obey Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should come as no surprise to anyone that in a culture that acknowledges the spiritual realm, the activities and presence of lesser beings are catered to because the results have become so tangible. The presence of these lesser spirits are more tangible because of the permission that comes from actively interacting with them. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%207:%208-13&amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Moses going up against the wise men of Egypt, anyone?&lt;/a&gt; But if we read in God&#39;s Word of an invisible realm and promptly put that knowledge aside, do we not willingly turn a blind eye to the goings on of that realm? Is Silence Consent? We can let loose the blessing and good will of God, Most High, who indwells us. We can bind and loose in heaven and on earth...what exactly? I can tell you that the enemy never rests at his self appointed task. Are we on task? What is it, to be Children of the Most High?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ll stop here and let those of you who follow this Blog consider what it means to you. I will continue from this point next week. Spiritual Warfare! Meditate on the things God has to say through His Word about the invisible things. God, Most High, is a spirit. What does it mean to worship Him in spirit and in truth?

My  natural disposition was outgoing, eager to chat and the truth is, it  terrified my parents. I &quot;never met a stranger&quot;. I was one of THOSE kids.   How does a parent keep their children innocent while making them wise  to the ways of the world? Well, read on and hopefully glean a few  answers from  my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first incident was our newspaper boy. He was a pre-teen and would  tease me and call me his girlfriend. I was 6.  One day when he took me  around the corner to show me a surprise (he did that sometimes and it  was usually a flower of some kind) it became obvious he&#39;d given this  &quot;relationship&quot; a lot of thought and planning. His actions don&#39;t bear  describing except to say that I found myself remembering my mother  telling me I can always talk to God and get answers.  Even at the age of  6, my mother had already revealed a truth to me that the Holy Spirit  was able to bring to mind and I asked God for help to get away.  I  noticed that he kept looking around nervously so I suggested a different  location for his special suggestion. It worked, and he went up the  &quot;secret way&quot; I had pointed out to him while I took the path by the  house...&#39;so Mom can see me still in the yard&#39;. Of course I went straight  into the house and I refused to play outside for an entire week. No one  knew why. In fact, I don&#39;t think I ever told my parents--but Dad got  fed up and called the parents of the newspaper boy because he wasn&#39;t  getting his paper and a week without a paid for paper was unacceptable.  It was also a suspicious coincidence.  The boy was drug to our front  door by his angry father. The boy tried desperately to get me to come to  the door so he could apologize to me...but I was having none of it.  Betrayed was betrayed and ugly was ugly!  I think my parents suspect but  since I went back to my normal routine (because I knew the paperboy was  in fear and would do anything to avoid any further repercussions)  it  was never brought up again. My conclusion at the time? Teen boys were  ugly. My parents weren&#39;t going to argue the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next episode happened when I was 11. I was an early bloomer and it  started to show, even then.  It was the Bicentennial celebration of the  birth of our nation and on an Army post, that was a huge deal.   My  nature was still very outgoing and chatty--everyone was my friend  whether they&#39;d met me before or not. My parents had made a rule for me  after my mother prayed and asked for wisdom. They sat down together  (rare) in order to impart how important this new rule was.  Here was the  rule:  &lt;i&gt; &quot;Alice,  They are NOT your friend until your mother or I  have met them and agree with you that they are your friend. There are no  exceptions!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;  Well, this was huge because Dad, as busy as he was,  sat with Mom and made sure to have me repeat this.  BOTH of my parents  were having this serious talk with me.  There was a second rule. It made  life easy, having only two rules. The second rule was:  &lt;i&gt;&quot;Alice, You  can only spend time with your friends.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; My parents also made sure  that my best friend knew I had these two rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1976.  Independence Day celebrations were held beside the Post Lake,  which just happened to be the backyard of the Post Chapel. This scruffy  looking man, kinda short but with a nice smile, asked if he could be my  friend.  Well, I knew my Mom was around so I told the man, &quot;Sure!&quot; while  I started searching the crowds for her.  He took me by the hand and  said, &quot; I have something special I only show my friends. Come see!&quot; I  told him, &quot;Before I can go, we have to do something very important.&quot;   You see, I was looking around everywhere for my Mom so he could meet her  and we could be friends! I was driven with a sense of urgency to find  her.  He said &quot;Well, we&#39;re friends aren&#39;t we? It can wait. This is  really special, I don&#39;t want you to miss it.&quot;  I told him, &quot;Well we  can&#39;t be real friends until we do this thing so &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; have to come  with &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt;.&quot; Right about then (I&#39;d been dragging this man all over  the place since he had hold of my hand) my best friend spotted me and  shrieked at the top of her lungs  &lt;b&gt;&quot;ALICE! Let go of that man&#39;s hand. &lt;i&gt;  HE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND&lt;/i&gt;!&quot;&lt;/b&gt; I was so annoyed with her for spoiling  my surprise.   I yelled back at her, &quot;I &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; that, why do you  think I&#39;m trying to find MOM!&quot;  Well mister nice man heard this, noticed  everyone staring at him because we both  had really been loud and  suddenly &quot;forgot&quot; something and &quot;had to go&quot;.  I was so upset that he  wouldn&#39;t be meeting my Mom that I started to cry. He promised me he&#39;d  meet my Mom another day. This made me stop crying since I had a  brilliant idea. I turned and pointed at our church and told him &quot;You can  come to church, it&#39;s great! And then you can meet Mom AND Dad. He&#39;s too  busy today, he&#39;s in charge.&quot; (I didn&#39;t understand his commanding the  band that provided the music didn&#39;t mean he was in charge of everything.  ) This man practically begged me to let him go (people were watching)  and promised me he&#39;d be at church. He swore. I made him repeat what time  the service was and the whole time Vicki was glaring at me. When the  man finally disappeared, Vicki grabbed my arm and drug me to find my Mom  so she could tell her I had met a &quot;bad man.&quot;  I was so sure he&#39;d show  up for church the following Sunday and prove her wrong that I told  everyone what he looked like...including the Military Police that my Dad  had called to attend church with us.  Yes, I really did think people  were all good, all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third episode was just a few months later, in our own front yard.  There was a stop sign on the corner of the court and street that we  lived on and it was well lit.  I could hunt fire-flies as long as I was  in sight of the kitchen window, which had a view of the whole front lawn  and the stop sign. This way I could see when Mom was done with the  dishes and signal me to come in the house.  A man was passing by, long  hair in a ponytail, t-shirt and vest and jeans. He stopped to lean on  the street lamp pole and chat with me. Mom was washing dishes, I could  see her in the window and I smiled at her and continued trying to catch a  fire-fly while he chatted with me.  After a few jokes he asked me to  walk with him if I wanted to continue chatting. I wanted a fire-fly. So  he leaned against the pole again, lit a cigarette and looked around. He  mentioned it was dark out and I was awful friendly. Didn&#39;t I know it  wasn&#39;t smart to talk to strangers? I scoffed. He got chummy about how I  must be &quot;pretty smart&quot;,  and I must know how to take care of myself when  I&#39;m all alone. After all, he reasoned, most folks thought he was scary.   I just shrugged. Whatever. He wondered why I wasn&#39;t scared of him and   I got impatient because clearly this man wasn&#39;t very bright. And he was  distracting me from my fire-fly hunt.  I pointed out the obvious.  &quot;Mister, I&#39;m right where my Mom can see me. See? There in the kitchen  window? She&#39;s been there washing dishes all this time.&quot; About that time  Mom was glaring at us both and she very clearly signaled me into the  house.  He saw, he straightened and he said good bye as he walked on his  merry way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later that week, a body was found in the woods half a mile down the way.  A girl. Nuff said? That was when my parents let me know not everyone  had good intentions. They asked me how I thought that girl had ended up  dead. It opened a whole new world for me. I was nearly twelve and  looking older. It was time for me to be aware of the not so nice  intentions of people in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I write this to show that God answers prayers for wisdom. Think of the  kind of child I was. I was adventurous, outgoing, trusting and willing  to believe the best of anyone. Anyone at all. None of these are  qualities that are bad...except in a world where not everyone is good.  I  think back to these times in my life and I have to tell you, I marvel  at the simplicity of God&#39;s wisdom and I am grateful my parents were  God-believing parents. My mother poured the Word into me at breakfast  and Dad poured it into us at night for Bible reading and prayer time. I  had a visible demonstration of talking to God morning, noon and night.  We talked to God while driving in a parking lot looking for a place to  park, asking for favor while shopping (and getting it!)  and asking for  wisdom and insight about a military discipline issue or of health  issues. We talked to Him for literally any wee thing.&lt;i&gt; Because I&#39;d  seen it consistently,&lt;/i&gt; even by the age of 6, knowing God to be ever  present and having His word in me saved me a harrowing experience.  His  wisdom works out in ways you just can&#39;t imagine.  I&#39;m living proof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to give my thanks to Cherie and Leanne for an opportunity to guest blog here at SALT ministries.  It&#39;s a true blessing for me.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/6913291420446563115/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=6913291420446563115' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/6913291420446563115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/6913291420446563115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2010/03/if-any-man-asks-for-wisdom.html' title='&quot;IF ANY MAN ASKS FOR WISDOM...&quot;'/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260065394930274744.post-3491451329376049981</id><published>2010-03-01T22:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-01T22:28:20.502-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Guest Blogger</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

they were &lt;em&gt;distracted &lt;/em&gt;by their surroundings and &lt;em&gt;disappointed&lt;/em&gt; by God’s food provision, then they became &lt;em&gt;distracted&lt;/em&gt; by the Giants seen in the promise land, and because of all these factors their time spent in the Desert lasted for 40 years and some of them never made it to the promise land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;King Solomon,&lt;/strong&gt; The wealthiest King ever in the beginning he had a right the heart of child, He says, &quot;I am a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.&quot; In other words, &quot;I don&#39;t know how to conduct the affairs of office. I feel that I am not adequate to do the job that has been given to me.&quot; Solomon had success in everything he put his to do until distraction set in, and it was his ruin, His Distraction Was Women!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;So we see from Biblical History The Three Evil D’s are very Powerful and they work, they will derail you from your destiny or slow you down from entering into your destiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Personal Commentary&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you become discouraged you seek to fullfill your desires yourself.&lt;br /&gt;If you become distracted by the cares,or take your eyes of the vision it will not come to pass.&lt;br /&gt;If you look at your surroundings you can become disappointed and think that you are not getting Gods’ Best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warnings&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Administrator/Desktop//Bible.cfm?b=Luk&amp;amp;c=8&amp;amp;v=14&amp;amp;t=KJV%20//%2014&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;Luk 8:14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt; And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Administrator/Desktop//Bible.cfm?b=Luk&amp;amp;c=21&amp;amp;v=34&amp;amp;t=KJV%20//%2034&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;Luk 21:34&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt; And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with suffering, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP_Administrator/Desktop//Bible.cfm?b=Mat&amp;amp;c=26&amp;amp;v=41&amp;amp;t=KJV%20//%2041&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;Mat 26:41&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt; Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Encouragement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath a great recompense of Reward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solutions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;God declares I know the Plans I have for you plans to prosper you and bring you to an expected end, and that all things work together for good for those that are called according to his purpose.&lt;br /&gt;*Paul says, Faith will keep your Confidence and to Glory in Your Circumstances&quot;&lt;br /&gt;*Faith comes by Hearing.*&lt;br /&gt;Prayer based on Ephesians :&lt;br /&gt;Christ may you through my Faith settle down and make my heart your permanent home, So I may be Strengthened and Reinforced with mighty Power in my inner man and personality by the Holy Spirit and Let me be rooted and grounded in Love.

(Colossians 4:6).              &lt;p&gt; Just as salt is a vital part of our lives, so are Christians to                 the community, nation and world. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;When God was prepared to rain fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah where Lot lived, Abraham asked if He would spare the cities if there were fifty righteous people living there. Abraham kept lowering the number until he asked God if He would spare the cities for ten righteous people. God agreed. But there were not even ten righteous people in the cities. (Study Genesis 18:20-33; 19:1-26.) &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;Salt seasons food just as the Word of God seasons us and our Christian walk.  As we go through life, we are thrown so many things that hurt us, anger us, cause unforgiveness, and bitterness. God gave us his word to bring healing to our hearts and teach us that forgiveness first came from Him through the life of His one and only Son Jesus Christ. But how can we know this if we don&#39;t sit down to season our hearts and minds with His Word.&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Did you know that Salt is a preservative? We can preserve life by sharing our testimonies with others. Even if your Salvation is the only testimony you have right now, it&#39;s more than enough to preserve the life of those who the enemy is trying to take by leading them away from God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Did you know Salt has healing qualities? When you have a cut or sore, one of the best things to cleanse and heal it is salt water. Growing up in Florida and practically living at the beach each weekend, I heard this a lot. And it actually worked. Even for pimples.. I know gross.. :o)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Did you know Salt also softens and conditions water?  The bible says  &quot;A gentle answer turns away wrath&quot; and &quot;Raise up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it&quot; and so many more verses that encourage us, strengthen us giving us hope and faith for the future of our families and our own lives. When hard times come, the Word supplies the answers that we need to keep our hearts tender towards our loved ones and keeps our worries and stresses at bay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Because of special diets, some people cannot eat salt. They must use salt substitute. This restriction creates no problem for us, but to substitute &quot;religion&quot; for &quot;Christianity&quot; is to offer a &quot;substitute&quot; for the real thing.        &lt;p&gt;It is important that we do not lose our testimony. Matthew 5:13 says, &quot;You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We influence others with the Salt of our thoughts and hearts. Have you lost your taste for God and his word? What are you seasoning yourself with? Books on things that don&#39;t edify you or Gods word with in you.  TV programs meant to divide our home and relationship with our children.  Sites on the internet that kill the love you have for your spouse.

&gt;SALT,Jacksonville, Had their ICE Cream Social Outreach at Hubbard House a shelter for battered women. We served 22 women and their children. We started the day off with a Human Scavenger Hunt, they to answer various question by asking other women, for example, Find someone with wavy hair.  We had three winners: 2 winners won a book w/ stationary and pen. 1 winner won a Avon Gift Set donated by one of our leaders. She was a young lady, a preteen. She didn&#39;t really appreciate her gift so she gave it to  a mother. I encouraged her to try and read the book because she might like it. Then we had a Random Drawing by Ticket. That Lady won a Bath Gift Set donated by Lisa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-family:Arial;&quot; &gt;We also made cards for all the ladies posted on the blogger page under Leanne. One young lady opened hers up immediately and began to ask Pam questions. They had the opportunity to have a very good conversation. She wanted to know where we all went to church. Pam explained that we were all from different churches and she told her where we went. She made a promise to look us up one the internet and post a comment. I hope she does. We will be looking for you&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-family:Arial;&quot; &gt;Next we were onto the Sweet Stuff, The women and children has their choice of Vanilla Ice-Cream, Neapolitan Ice Cream and Strawberry Swirl.

Many little laughing voices could be heard as SALT leaders interacted with them. Many of the Women mentioned their thankfulness for our giving and serving.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-family:Arial;&quot; &gt;Our Contact Person at the Shelter asked if we minded our pictures being taken,,, we had no idea why until the end when she announced that our pictures would be put into the upcoming Hubbard House News Letter and that she would sending us copies of the pictures..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;Our Gifts.....................&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;To Our Surprise they had gifts waiting for us!

We have been alive for more than 10 years now and is a ministry under SALT. This is the Testimony and foundation of &quot;PWC&quot;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave my life to God 12 years ago. At that time Bill and I had been married 4 years. We loved the same movies and music. We are both musicians and is one of the things that brought us together..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the changes in me was instant... Music... God said to me, &quot;Do you know how much music I have for you?&quot; I thought, no... The very next day on my way to word, I started searching my radio for a Christian Station.. We were stationed in Newport News VA at the time and they didn&#39;t have anything except on the AM station.. Arghhh... The AM station had a lot of feed back and static but it was better than not having any to listen to..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next change, how I began to see movies.. I didn&#39;t realize it at the time but I was seeing things through God&#39;s eyes.. I had given my life to him, joined his team, now he was opening his world to me and his thoughts on movies is huge.. I became frustrated about the content and don&#39;t let me get started talking about how people taking God&#39;s name in vain! I don&#39;t like it, don&#39;t want it, and couldn&#39;t believe people would say God&#39;s name in that content.. The changes in me were real and and evident by the change in my choices and Bill could see this..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Side note.. Jesus teaches us that the only unforgivable sin is to Blaspheme the Holy Spirit (Curse).. I asked God one day, why the Holy Spirit and not You or your son... God&#39;s answer showed me so much.. People speak God&#39;&#39;s name and Jesus&#39;s name in vain and curse their names all the time, on tv, movies, books, everyday conversation.. But they don&#39;t do this to the Holy Spirit.. So many people would be lost to God, maybe even you and I if he had extended it to all three.. God&#39;s Grace for us abounds.. His thinking and Love for us overwhelmed me!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to our devotion! :o) A few months latter we transferred to Jacksonville FL. While setteling into our new home I get a call and it went something like this..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill: Hon, we need to talk&lt;br /&gt;me: sure, what&#39;s up?&lt;br /&gt;Bill: I&#39;m not happy anymore&lt;br /&gt;me: why? (while my heart begins to pound so loud I can&#39;t hear myself think)&lt;br /&gt;Bill: you don&#39;t like the same music I like, you don&#39;t like the same movies I like anymore.. We&#39;re on two different paths and I want a DIVORCE!!&lt;br /&gt;me: Silence.................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can&#39;t explain how I was feeling at that moment but I asked him if we could talk when he got home and hung up the phone. This was the last thing I thought I would hear!! I began to panic... Then I remembered I had Jesus.. I went right to my knees and began to pray.. I called my Pastor in VA but couldn&#39;t reach him.. I then called my best Friend Kim in Va and she answered.. I explained my situation and she had an answer..She told me to go right then to a Christian book store and buy &quot;The Power of a Praying Wife&quot; by Stormie Omartian.. In all honesty I thought she was crazy.. A book can&#39;t help me.. I need prayer... She laughed and said, Cherie... This is Prayer!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought the book and began my journey. I learned that scripture is also prayers.. Prayers for me, my marriage, my children, all of my situations..And I put them into practice right away.. As you have been reading these devotions, you have already seen that we are a work in progress. Though we have come a long way, we still have work to do!! I love my Husband with all of my heart and so thankful to God that He loves my marriage even more than I do.. It was a long, long, long year of hurts and pains but in this great deep valley God took the opportunity to change me in the midst of it!! He showed me to hold on to his word and our scripture today was instrumental in keeping me where God wanted me during this trial. He is so faithful to us.. to me and my love for my husband.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know this one is long and I appreciate you giving me the time to share with you why this ministry means so much to me.. Since that year, I have given away many of these books, prayed with countless women over their marriages and interceded for them.. God is a good and faithful God but he is also our God of Restoration. If you need restoration in your marriage, you have come to the right place... Prayer Changes Everything!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thought... Praying about ALL aspects of a marriage keep the concept of divorce from gaining any hold. We mustn&#39;t neglect what seem to be minor issues, even if we don&#39;t think they are important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord I come to you now and reject and rebuke any thought of Divorce over the wives reading this. Work in their hearts to stand resolved to see their marriage all you created them to be!! Only you Lord can take the word Divorce out of the hearts of these wives and husbands.. Bless them Lord and keep them in your wings just as you did me...Help them to not grow weary as they are doing good for their marriages that they may reap their due rewards.. I pray a hedge of protection around them for each day.. Help them to hold every negative word captive! Only your Word stands True and brings Truth into our hearts!! Thank you Lord for your Faithfulness to us and that every marriage is precious in Your site! In Jesus Name I pray.. Amen!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God&#39;s blessing to each of you and your walk with HIM!!&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/5959282037825773925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=5959282037825773925' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/5959282037825773925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/5959282037825773925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2009/03/praying-wives-club.html' title='&quot;Praying Wives Club&quot;'/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260065394930274744.post-8337712355350035113</id><published>2009-03-05T08:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-17T11:41:22.832-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="healing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="salt"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="wounds"/><title type='text'>When Pain Goes Deep!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;sup style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot; id=&quot;en-NLT-22144&quot; class=&quot;versenum&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; “Come, let us return to the L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-variant: small-caps; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;ord&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;.

He reminded me of  Kim&#39;s proclamation and said this..&quot; To break free, all things have to come to the surface to be dealt with.&quot;  The deeper the issue the deeper God has to go to bring it  to the surface breaking us to pieces in the process. This brought me peace because I now knew God was using this to break me free from past hurts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days latter a friend and I were getting the music ready for this weeks &quot;PWM&quot; meeting God lead me to Hosea 6..  Wow, confirmation for the word he gave me a few days before... When we are serious about healing and breaking free God is quick to begin his good work in us.  He tears us to pieces so he can heal us.. Hosea says, as we press into him he will respond to us as surely as the dawn comes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time your dealt a situation that brings hurts or a sin that keeps raising it&#39;s ugly head, run to God.  Though he allows us to hurt he&#39;s faithful to heal us in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmmm........

Eve must have felt defeated that day in the Garden when the realization came that she went against God and chose to act in what the enemy (Satan) was coaxing her to do. But, in the midst of Eve&#39;s sin against God he reveals a promise to her.. That her offspring would Defeat the enemy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Daughter has seizures due to the Cerebral Palsey.  Mark tells us that if we Believe, what so ever we ask for we will receive.  Three years ago God spoke to me about seeking Him for her healing from the seizures and the Cerebral Palsey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same week God spoke to me about this a mother of one of Sam&#39;s school friends shared with me what God has told her to do. She said, &quot;go to Foodlion and get you some olive oil. tonight before she goes to bed anoint her forehead, both her hands and feet and pray over your baby for her deliverance.&quot; I have been doing this almost every night for three years now.  This seems to be keeping the seizures at bay. But there are times when the seizures break  through and always just before her bus gets here to pick her up for school. I&#39;ve been  going to God and asking him, why if I&#39;m doing what you have shown me to do are the seizures still coming? Eighteen years is a long time to be dealing with these on a almost daily bases? Three weeks ago God told me to STAND!! I thought to my self, &quot;huh?&quot;  Then I thought what does Stand look like?  God reminded me of the Isrealights and took me Exodus 14:13,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moses answered the people, &quot;Do not be afraid. &lt;b&gt;Stand&lt;/b&gt; firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stand firm... God is telling me to Stand firm in what he has told me. So Standing for me is resisting the enemy in each of the seizures... The last three weeks I have been doing just this!!&lt;br /&gt;When the seizure comes I don&#39;t receive it.. Instead, I speak God&#39;s promises over Sam!! I remind the enemy who he is... I speak out every scripture as the Holy Spirit brings them to my remembrance! I am in battle for my daughters healing and this morning was no different..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had just gotten Sam out of the tub and I felt in my spirit for the first time that a seizure was coming.  I chose then to stand.  I began to fight before it reared it&#39;s ugly head. Satan&#39;s design, cause me to feel defeated. But God moved in my heart and I began to tell satan that he is a liar!! God gave Eve a promise that her offspring would strike his head and Sam will be delivered! The seizure came and I continued to speak out loud as many times as it took! Within five minutes the seizure was gone. It didn&#39;t even have a chance to take a foothold this time.  We have a victory and one day we will have Full Victory and God will deliver Sam and I from the plan satan has for us!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I came back in from putting Sam on the bus one of my 17 year old sons said, &quot;Mom, satan is a liar and you defeated him this morning&quot;.  Wow...... With God I defeated him this morning... Can I say Woooo Hoooo!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you going through that you feel defeated in?  Tell satan that he is a liar and that your Victory is at hand.. God is so good and so able!! Jesus defeated satan on the Cross and by His stripes we are healed! Like ours, your Victory may terry but it will come! We are promised this by way of the Cross.  One day soon I will be blogging the day of Sam&#39;s full healing!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness to me and my family!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my Love, Cherie</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/feeds/6239556596468201349/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5260065394930274744&amp;postID=6239556596468201349' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/6239556596468201349'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5260065394930274744/posts/default/6239556596468201349'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womenofsalt.blogspot.com/2009/02/devil-has-been-defeated.html' title='The Devil Is Defeated!!!!'/><author><name>Cherie Zack</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX5G9NWoWc02gzama6t9UZGTeh_W5kfMNXGdhjVL0w66sS9OgxRPrpG8IYosBZ-00i-DeiKzcyVFTfvyCOvbOnqfBKJfPQYqc53kl3lK7Gp_8mBxXoB6vrNxnE5eg9gbE/s220/Flower_heart.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
