Is The Bible A Mystery???

Do you think the Bible is a mystery?
Many churches actually teach that.
For this reason, those who attend often only listen and believe as truth, what they hear taught from the pulpit.
I wonder if you are one of those??
It's amazing how many are.

I was in a Supermarket one day when a woman tried to tell me that the prayers she recites daily are all from a certain New Testament book.
Absolutely, Not True... Only one of the prayers were, and that was 'The Lords Prayer.'
This caused me to wonder again??
When most people today are literate,  why don't they read the Bible for themselves???
It is so full of exciting news.       That's why we Christians call it, The Truth'!!'



During my recent trip to far North Queensland, I met up with a wonderful Bible Scholar again, by the name of Val Pym...
What an intelligent humble lady. 

Val has written another book and called it..
The Other Bible Code.
It is so easy to read, and very simply explained...
Wooooooooo Hoooooooooo!!
Even I can understand it.
It is great!!
It puts together, from the Old and New Testament, Gods plan for man.
As you begin to read, the lights will turn on..
Ahh... Why didn't I see this before...
Well, let me tell you.
The Devil does a great job of tricking and deceiving..
And that's why we get all caught up in what we think We Have To Do.
Instead of realising.....It Is Already Done!!
Thank You Jesus!!

God Bless you Val.. I am proud to be counted your friend.

Available from Amazon.com  among many other on-line sources

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

Spiritual Visits

I have changed the Sign above my Birds heading to read.
Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder and Jesus is in the Heart of Whoever invites him in.

  





My belief is real and my belief is Stong!
I have experienced many spiritual experiences in my life and because of these, my faith has grown to be invincible.

Let me share just one of those experiences with you. 

It was evening and I was not long home from the birth of my last son. 
It was a difficult labour and delivery, my son uttered one slight cry and then cried without sound for days. His larynx had been damaged (it did heal).
I had suffered some swelling prior the delivery then after, my body exploded.

I went into HELLP !!
HELLP syndrome is the medical name given to a serious (and rare) complication of pre-eclampsia involving a combination of liver and blood disorders.


HELLP stands for:
• H (haemolysis - red blood cell damage);
• EL (elevated liver enzymes - indicating liver damage);
• LP (low platelets in the blood leading to a bleeding tendency)

On top of this on the second day after the delivery a thrombosis developed in my inner thigh.

With not much understanding thirty years ago about blood clotting, I was fed continual doses of aspirin. After being kept in the hospital over the required time, I was finally sent home to receive daily post natal home nursing care. 
We lived in an old house on a small farm with a few scant neighbours and a dirt road out front. My (then) husband went to play tennis leaving me in bed with the babe in his crib beside me and our other three children sitting watching television.
I was ill and afraid. My heart pained, beating out of rhythm. Weakly I lay back against the bed pillows and prayed. 

"Lord Jesus, please come and stand beside me." 

With my eyes closed I felt the presence of someone standing next to me, waiting. Thinking one of the children had come into the room I opened my eyes.  Standing,  looking down was a tall man. He was dressed as a shepperd, like pictures I'd seen in my Bible.
I knew it was a shepperd because of the crook held in His hand. 
I had prayed and asked Him to come.....and He came!



For what seemed like the longest time he remained looking down at me.
Then slowly he walked towards my bedroom door and out into the hall.
Struck dumb it took a while before I was able to call my eldest daughter.

What a wondrous experience, my daughter and I prayed our thanks and rejoiced in my ethereal visitation.

Many months later Femia (daughter) came running to show me what she read in her bible. It said that in times of need, He comes as a Shepperd.

In John 10:11, we are told: 

"I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

Yet  sadly, many deny Him. As in John 1:10-18:
"He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."

Praise is Holy Name!!!
