Feeling lucky?



Everywhere I’ve been reading, I’m seeing the word ‘luck.’  What does it really mean?   Is it a Christian word?  Does it matter?

·       Potlucks
·       You must be lucky
·       Today is your lucky day
·       Good luck with –
·       I’ve just got rotten luck
·       The luck of the draw
·       Such a lucky dog could have been worse
·       He considered himself lucky
·       Who’s the lucky guy
·       Luck of the Irish

Any other ones?

noun: luck  1. success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.
synonyms:

success, prosperity, good fortune, good luck
antonyms:
failure, misfortune




o  chance considered as a force that causes good or bad things to happen.
o  something regarded as bringing about or portending good or bad things.

What the Lord says about this:  “I bless My people.  It is not luck.  However, saying, ‘potbless’ instead of ‘potluck’ does sound weird.   Do not fuss over the word.  Just acknowledge Me in all things.  If someone says, ‘You are so lucky!’  You may respond with, ‘You can say that, but what I really am is BLESSED!”

Does this make sense?
How do you feel about the word, ‘potbless’?

Two Perspectives

Two Perspectives:  The Lord said:  “ONE:   Look up at Me with confidence that all will turn out well or TWO:   fussing and worrying and fretting.   You chose.   Many people don’t know there is another alternative to the worry and fretting perspective… and where does that leave them?   What kind of life do they have?   TRUST Me!” Which one do you do the most? Is it easy or difficult for you to choose #1? ~~ “This Really Happened” at books2read.com/u/mZ5ALy and “REAL Conversations with God” at www.books2read.com/u/mgLPqx (You might also enjoy checking out Elisabella’s Books on Facebook, there’s been a change-up.)

Praise as Warfare: What the Evil One doesn't want you to know!

Praise as warfare:  What the Evil One doesn’t want you to know! While preparing this blog, I encountered spiritual warfare.  Evidently the evil one doesn’t want me to post this conversation I had with God. Me:  I read, ‘nothing terrifies the devil and his demons like praise’.   Is this true, Lord?  God:  It doesn’t terrify them.  However, it IS a reminder, a tool for warfare and it does thwart them. Me:  I also read, ‘constant praise wards off depression, disappointments, despair’  Is this true? God:  Yes, remember the scripture, ‘Think on these things’? Because it keeps your mind where it should be.  I have provided for My people.  However, many choose not to.  It IS their choice. They either pick up the ‘tool’ and use it or not. Me:  Is Biblical praise more powerful than ‘regular’ praise? God:  Yes, because it uses the W...

Fun with Jesus - Gingerbread House

Fun with Jesus – Gingerbread House     Jesus was playing Peek-a-Boo with me in a Gingerbread house.     I’m outside watching Jesus peek at me through a window then disappear only to poke His head out through a different window.   Jesus flew up the chimney, quickly opened a door, looked out at me then closed it.   Jesus:   Come on inside. [Inside is adorable.   Gingerbread-ish.]   Jesus:   Come on.   We flew up to the 2 nd story loft and looked down. Me:   This is… unusual. Jesus:   [laughed] Me:   I like it. Jesus:   So do I.   Jesus goes into the kitchen, opens the oven and pulls out a cookie sheet with gingerbread cookies on it. Jesus:   Would you like one? Me: Yes, but aren’t they hot? Jesus:   Blow on it. Me:   [I blew, instantly cooled.   I took a bite.]    Delicious; crunchy, soft, chewy, spicy. Jesus:   Glad you like i...
