NIGERIAN SCAMMERS ... BEWARE!!

These Nigerian Scammers are the most evil individuals, with hearts belonging to satan.
Since being hit by one myself,  I researched to find out more about them!!










I must say here, there are good and bad eggs in every race.
God Bless the good.
Shame, on the bad. God will deal with them!





And, even though they are called Nigerian Scammers, many fool others in believing they are from other countries of the world.  
The one who attacked me, got into my Facebook and my email.
He (? a man) even spoke via messenger to one of my friends. 
His place of origin, supposedly England. 
Thank God, my friend knew I would never email asking anyone for money!!
I would rather wash dishes!!

How do I know he was from Nigeria??
Facebook showed me a map of the world, asking if I was located here....
Pin pointing,  NIGERIA!!

Watch out for E-Bay!!!
This is also a popular target.
If someone is buying off you.
Don't you...send any money for any reason!!!


MEN and WOMAN BEWARE of On-Line dating Scams.
Many of these are also from Nigeria.

 Romance Scammers
Seated waiting for a doctors appointment I read the true story of a woman in Australia who had the following experience.
The scammer, told her, he was from Milwaukee U.S.A.
His photo looked so nice... a regular bloke.
When he finally phoned her, his accent was American, and she believed all he told her.
He was very clever!!
Over time, for one thing or another, she handed over almost $100.000.
She even mortgaging her home.

INCREDIBLE you say?  Well, they are VERY convincing, sweet sounding and lovable. 

There is no way anyone so NICE could be evil,....or so you think. 


Dating Scammer Sign's To Beware of:
1. They often use stolen credit cards.
Their on-line profile may suddenly disappear when the dating site makes the discovery.
2. Sob stories... Scammers will mention a loved ones death or a sick child/parent, to pull at your heart strings.
3. Scammers will make excuses NOT to use a webcam. 
4. They try to con you out of money. 
DO NOT SEND!! they usually use wire transfer so it cannot be traced.

5. Check out the International Calling Code for any phone number you are sent!



“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. 
Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves."
Matthew 10:16.

GOD BLESS ALL.

Water/ Ocean Therapy From Stress.

Wandering down peaceful paths.






What is this??
Well, if you look closely you will sight a tiny hole in about the middle...
The hermit crab is responsible..
It burrows down and begins to work by throwing out these tiny sand balls.
The work is long and tedious, and the end result, is patterns of many different sizes and shapes all over the beach.

Who is the hermit crab? and what does he look like?

He is a tiny sea creature. He is pictured here in his conch.

I have been staying with my son in far north Queensland.
He has been suffering from sleep deprivation and stress.

So I took time out and went to keep him company and take the soothing love of Jesus.
We walked down a sandy pathway and out onto the peace of the ocean.
Just watching the waves flowing in and out.
                                Hearing the sea gulls, and smelling the sea air,
                                brings a feeling of wellness...
                                And rightly so..as you are breath in an extra atom of oxygen.



Getting away from the bunker, where life can be isolating.


Fish and chips down at the Marina..... with visiting relatives.



Streets of MacKay and Outback Jacks.

A town situated on the ocean to transport coal out of Australia and around the world.

I don't know how much my presence helped??
Yet I will contiue to pray for his well being..
Picured here he looks well.
Yet isn't always so.
Please pray for him to find that peace.

"Some went out on the sea in ships;
they were merchants on the mighty waters.


They saw the works of the LORD,


his wonderful deeds in the deep.


For he spoke and stirred up a tempest


that lifted high the waves.


They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths;


in their peril their courage melted away.


They reeled and staggered like drunkards;


they were at their wits’ end.


Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,


and he brought them out of their distress.


He stilled the storm to a whisper;


the waves of the sea were hushed.


They were glad when it grew calm,


and he guided them to their desired haven.


Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love


and his wonderful deeds for mankind. "
 Psalm 107:23-32
                        JESUS IS OUR LIGHT,  IN THE STORMS OF LIFE.

SERVICE AND SACRIFICE

John wrote the last of the four gospels, and was the favoured disciple.
Why was he the favoured??
Well, likely he and his cousin Jesus, played together as children.
Probably, their relationship was very close.

Imagine it, two little boys in different households living close to each other.
Cousins  and best friends.
John's mother Salome was Mary's sister.
Salome was the wife of Zebedee and the mother of James and John.
In all the Bible accounts of the life of Jesus, I have always prefered John's.

He had a knowing of the spirit of God within Jesus...
And His very first statement was....
"In the beginning was the WORD.
And the WORD was with God.
And the WORD was God."
John 1:1

John was the only person to relate how Jesus washed the feet of His disciples.

Why would he do this??

Washing His Disciples' Feet

"Just before the Passover Feast, (my cousin) Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world and go back to the Father.
Having loved his dear companions, he continued to love them right to the end.
It was suppertime.
The Devil by now had Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, firmly in his grip, all set for the betrayal.


Jesus knew that the Father had put him in complete charge of everything.
He knew he came from God and was on his way back to God.
So he got up from the supper table, set aside his robe, and put on an apron.
Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, drying them with his apron.

When he got to Simon Peter, Peter said, "Master, you wash my feet?"
Jesus answered, "You don't understand now what I'm doing, but it will be clear enough to you later."
John 13

So why did John relate this happening??
I would love to hear your thoughts on this??
Mine is, he was in awe, that his cousin showed such humility!
Most kings sit on a throne and are served.
Jesus, prostrated himself in a lowly position.

Who are we to ever consider ourselves as better than someone else??  The example of Jesus was the opposite.



When someone is in need we are to help them.
When someone is hungry we are to feed them.
Or thirsty, give them something to drink..

Share with others.
Laugh with them.
Cry with them...
And, carry them.
Service and Sacrifice is the story of Easter.
Believe and share in ETERNAL LIFE.

An Easter Parallel




I think this video says it all....

A modern day version of a father who sacrifices his only Son.

'For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten son."
John 3:16

JUST JESUS..

Apparitions..

Can you believe how Satan will use someone you love, to deceive you?
This was an experience of mine approximately eighteen years ago.

My teenage daughter went out to a rare party with friends.
It was rare as we were strict parents.

"Be sure to be in by midnight,"  I instructed as she left.
I couldn't sleep and as many anxious parents do, my ear's strained, listening for her return.
Footsteps echoed on the tiled hallway floor.
Thank God she was home!
She ran happily to my bed and kissed my cheek, then out of the room.
Breathing a sigh of relief I sank into the mattress and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Hearing a noise in the kitchen a few hours later, I got up to investigate.
Stunned,  I discovered, my daughter had JUST come home.

I can't remember what her late excuse was, I was too befuddled by my earlier experience.

"Are  you sure you didn't come home earlier?" I questioned!

I thought I had experienced my daughters joyous return home?
I thought I had experienced her happy goodnight kiss?

What I did experience was a deception..
And there is only one deceiver....Satan!

"And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."
2 Corinthians 11:14

"Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
Matthew4:10

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
Ephesians 6:12



"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
1 Timothy 2:5

If you want to argue....
there can be no BUTS...
There is only Jesus.

To demonstrate our total faith in ONLY Him, we do as instructed.

 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38





My daughter Daniella on the day of her Baptism, 2009.

"TESTIMONY" Lon's Story

As you all know.
We defeat the devil by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of our Testimony.
Revelation 12:11

A comment to me from Lon in return on a mental health story.

Lon writes,

"I just have to share!!!


My wife and I went to a couple of secondhand bookstores in search of this book, for I told her, "I have to find this book!"

The first bookstore we went to, the man who worked there tried to look it up, and said, "I'm sorry, but we don't have it."

So then my wife said to me, "Let's go to the other secondhand bookstore down the block."

Going in, I handed the man who worked there a piece of paper that had the name of this book written on it, and he said, something like, "Just a moment . . . I'll go get it for you."

I have only scratched the surface of this book, for I am only into the fourth chapter, and already my wife and others said they have seen a HUGE difference in me!!!

The other day I was talking to a person on the phone, and they said something like, "You don't even sound like the Lon . . . I used to know!"

Then when I was conversing with another person on the phone, they said, "I have hoped for this for so long . . . I just can't believe the difference in you!"

Once again I thank you so very much for sharing this post about this book!!!
God Bless,

Lon"

Crying over yesterday



Depression.....

Can result from Grief and Loss

And yet often, as depicted in this song and animation, the very thing we dream about, the thing we grieve over, the thing we sorrow for, in reality, is not real!!

Are you stagnant?? Do you mourn over something in your life that is no longer there?

Move on...

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."


Psalm 51:10

Happy *PEACE filled New Year

With the torrential non stop rain comes the frogs....
And their continuous song. 

The children love them especially these green tree ones.

Happiness is, caring and sharing.
Grandchildren, Shiarn to Izaiah.

This Mr Froggy is displaying the Sign of PEACE..

The world does not have peace, although it's what EVERY person desires.

But knowing Jesus can give peace to the heart in troubled times as we place our faith and trust in Him.


Jesus tells us in His Word:
"Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid." (John 14:27)

To keep immersed in Gods Word, feeds and water's the parched soul.

There should be no divisions between different Christian faiths.
No Hostility...
There should be Peace!!


"For Christ himself has brought peace to us.
He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when,
In his own body on the cross,
He broke down the wall of hostility that separated us."
Ephesians 2:14
 
PEACE... what a beautiful word...
 
Jesus died to unite us in Himself...
And yet He still knew the wicked heart of man..
 
Jesus Said....
“Brother will betray brother to death,
and a father his child;
children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 
You will be hated by everyone because of me,
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." 
Matthew 10:21-22
 
Peace, keep the Peace!!
Don't argue,.. Pray!
Forgive and Love.
 
PEACE BE STILL....

Romancing Christmas

Unwrapping the Gift of Christmas, is my grandson Luke.

We have romanced Christmas with our western culture.
We think of it with beautiful Carols, the Nativity Scene and gaily wrapped presents.

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
                though you are small among the clans of Judah,
                          out of you will come for me one who will be 
                     ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old,
                         from ancient times." (Micah 5:2)


It is no accident that the man chosen to be Jesus father on earth, Joseph,  was "of the house and lineage of David"
(Luke 2:4) and that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.


 "Joseph went to Bethlehem to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born."
(Luke 2:5-6)

I cannot imagine the young Mary walking all that way from
Nazareth to Bethlehem while heavily pregnant.
It was a three to four day trip, and as a woman I can empathise with her. I understand how she gave birth, after that long and tedious journey. How difficult!
We are not told she rode on a donkey??
We are not told her age?
But this was her first baby, and there were no luxuries.
No doctors or nurses to assist with the birth.
No pretty clothes or crib.
Only drudgery and hardship.

How different for us who worship Him, the King of Glory.
We don't suffer to celebrate our Savours birth.

We eat to bursting.
We relax in the comforts of our homes.
We are entertained by lovely Christmas Carols.
We romance the birth of Christ. 

Do we fully understand? Do we fully appreciate???

God's son was born in hardship.

We need to contemplate on these things..

Sign's

I live near a busy main highway were fatalities take lives on a regular basis.
Who will be next? Who can tell? If we knew, people would take better care.
Who wants to end up with injuries, brain damage, in a wheelchair or worse.  
No-one knows the day of the hour of their death!!!
Yet many think they can live as they like, with no repercussions.
NOT SO....

Who can safely drink and drive?
Who can speed when no one is looking and ALWAYS get there faster?

Having been an Emergency Room Sister, I know only too well, the disaster of such a mentality.

Recently this was placed in our local newspaper.
A sign depicting what can happen if you don't take care.
Do people take note of these signs? 
I hope and pray it makes them think!
Because.
More fatal accidents happen in the holidays, than any other time.  
WARNINGS,  WARNINGS
Does anyone heed them?
The next sign is asking parents to watch their children.
Why should there be such signs?
Because whenever anything happens to a child, the parent says,
"I thought they were with so and so."
What!!! Responsibility is that of the parent!
Not someone else. 

SIGNS..................

 And here is the most important sign of all time.

ONE WAY......There is ONLY one way to Heaven, the place everyone wants to go to at death.... 
YES, many may be smart and jokingly say they don't care!!!
But death is no joke,  it can't be taken back,  it is final!

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6



Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
Do you believe this?”
John 11:24-25

Jesus asked the question.
"Do you believe this???


I ask it also.....Do you?

Miracle Magnesium

Illness is like a Crocodile, it wants to devour!


You can't kill it, but you can capture and try to control it, with Gods help.

"He sent out his Word (Jesus) and healed them, snatching them from the door of death."
Psalms 107:20. NIV



I felt ill all day on Thursday.
Being a very sensitive person I take on board everyone else's problem..
I pray for them and pain for them.
I have to continually remind myself...
"HEY, you are not God, stop trying to do His business!!!
I am a person who, ..... Loves too Much...
I have also been the Scapegoat for others who feel life and God have dished them a raw deal.

So on Thursday it all caught up...
Plus I forgot to take my usual 25mg Lopressor (Metropolol)B.D. 
I believe very much in natural therapy and for years have taken Magnesium. 
Yet...this also had been run out of and not replaced...

Everything is for a reason and a purpose and sometimes God wants to get our attention.
How better than to make us STOP!
And stop I did... I couldn't do anything else.
My heart raced, my blood pressure rose, and I felt so very ill.
(SERVER'S ME RIGHT, I should know better)
I suffered resting for a few hours...MAD, but medical people always, assess themselves.
(PLEASE, if this ever happens to you,  get to a hospital)

Finally I remembered the blood pressure medication and took it.
Ah..that made me feel a bit better...but I still wasn't well!
Next day I hit on it!
MAGNESIUM...I needed it.
Not with calcium as we have plenty of that in our water...
Just Magnesium!
Got the tablets and took them... Now I am feeling so much better.

Still need to rest some and drink plenty of water..

Praise God.

Many people don't realise the value of Magnesium (Epsom Salts)
It is God given though minerals.

Magnesium can help those who suffer with Chronic fatigue syndrome, Heart disease, Angina, High blood pressure, Poor circulation, Stress, Depression and anxiety, Poor sleep, Constipation, Muscle cramps, Migraine headaches, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Asthma, Diabetes, Facial and eye twitching, Muscle tightness, and many other health problems.
 Can be bought from Pharmacies, Health Food shops and Walmart.

Faith as a Mustard Seed

He replied, "Because you have so little faith.
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew 17:20


We are all given a measure of Faith.

I believe that measure is the same for all,
because we are not told that it isn’t.

Some use their whole measure to believe, while others don’t.
I imagine the Bible hero’s of old, used a whole measure also.

Can you imagine Noah using half his measure?
He never would have built the ark!
It took many years and had never rained.

Or Ruth choosing to return with Naomi back to her home land.
Both poor widow's, both with nothing.
Yet both possessing a faith.

What a joke these people must have looked.

I choose Faith any time. I use my full measure.
And I believe God reads the child-like belief of my heart.
It matters to me what God thinks, and that’s all!

Today I am believing for a miracle in my family.
I have already thanked God for that miracle.
Nothing, is impossible with Him.
He is my God and thats the end of the story.

"For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;
but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."    Romans 12:3

Bible Giants Evidence

Fallen angels came to earth  and had sexual relations with women.
From their union, the children became Giants.
Ancient Canaan......


Canaan today is known as Israel, Lebanon and parts of Jordan.

The Bible tells us.

 Genesis 6:1-6 The Bible.

"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them.
That the sons of God (fallen angels) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God (fallen angels) came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

Numbers 13:33 The Bible.

"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight."

Some churches don't believe certain parts of the Bible.


TRUTH is FOUND!!!








Look at the size of these bones. Some were up to 15 feet tall.
SEEING IS BELIEVING. (I have always believed)

Only the Bible is Truth.

Give Thanks to God

1 John 2:27 (New International Version)

"As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you,
and you do not need anyone to teach you.
But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—
just as it has taught you, remain in him (God)."

Wow, what a message! and completely from God's Word.
This doesn't mean don't go to church.
But rather I believe it means....
Let God be your teacher as you read his Word for yourself.
Don't take as gospel everything you hear.

Many of us who profess to be Christian (a Christ Follower), are too lazy to read for ourselves.
Instead we sit in church week after week and listen like robots.
We believe what we hear without looking at the evidence out of a seeking to know Him more heart.
What kind of love is that? 
Lets give thanks, for all God has done for us..
Lets draw closer to Him, by reading His Word.

As a child I attended a small town Sunday School...
One of the songs I learnt was:
Wide wide is the ocean,
High as the Heavens above,
Deep deep as the deepest sea,
Is my Saviours Love.....
We did actions to demonstrate and understand that HUGE love.

Gods love for us is bigger than all the oceans!
How BIG is that...................

The power of Gods Love

We can never underestimate the power of Gods love and protection.
How many times do you want to go somewhere only to have your plans cancelled at the last moment?
How often do you feel sad about missing out on an occasion not realising there may be a very good reason for it?

Next time you miss out, praise God. You are in His care and His love surrounds and protects.

I have seen into the supernatural realm on occasion.
I am very aware that life is not always as we see it in the natural.


"If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”

and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways." Psalm 91: 9-11

Camel's through Time

Camels were first bought to Australia in the 1840's.
Then in 1866 Thomas Elder established the first camel stud in Beltana, South Australia, with camels mainly from Karachi, India.
Later the large two-humped Bactrian camels and the one-humped Dromedary, powerful camels from India followed with the riding camels of Arabia.
Today the feral camels found in outback Australia,
are a mix of all these breeds. They are strong animals of good quality. 
Australia is now the only country in the world with feral dromedary camels.
In fact the only feral camel herds in the world are located here.
They number in the hundreds of thousands.

Last week our town celebrated a camel race and we decided to go and watch.
Camels do not follow rules. Some ran fast, some walked and some refused to move.
They all displayed their own personal temperament, without any bad manners of biting or spitting.






The Season of Christmas
We read about the birth of Christ in God's Word and of the wise men visiting from afar. 
We are not told how many wise men came, only that they brought three gifts with them. 
However, we can assume they made the journey on the most reliable mode of transport, the faithful camel.  

 Matthew 2:7-11
"Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared.  And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”
When they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

Note: here we are also told, they found Jesus, in the house.  So perhaps they actually found him older than....a babe in a stable.

God gave us many ways to travel.
