Red Moon/Eclipse 2015

total lunar eclipse took place on 4 April 2015. It is the former of two total lunar eclipses in 2015, and the third in a tetrad (four total lunar eclipses in series). Other eclipses in the tetrad are those of 15 April 2014, 8 October 2014, and 28 September 2015.

The eclipse was visible across the the Pacific including all of Australia and New Zealand. It was visible near sunrise for North America, and after sunset for eastern Asia including India

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes within Earth's umbra (shadow). As the eclipse begins, Earth's shadow first darkens the Moon slightly. Then, the shadow begins to "cover" part of the Moon, turning it a dark red-brown color (typically - the color can vary based on atmospheric conditions). The Moon appears to be reddish because of Rayleigh scattering (the same effect that causes sunsets to appear reddish) and the refraction of that light by Earth's atmosphere into its umbra.^[2]
The following simulation shows the approximate appearance of the Moon passing through Earth's shadow. The Moon's brightness is exaggerated within the umbral shadow. The southern portion of the Moon will be closest to the center of the shadow, making it darkest, and most red in appearance.

Some Bible scriptures describing the "Red Moon".

Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.   

Revelation 6:12-14  When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.   

Joel 2:31  The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.   

Matthew 24:29     “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.   

Revelation 7:1-17   After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad, ...   

Joel 2:30   “And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 

"Tough Love"

 What is your opinion on "Tough Love"?

 

Tough Love is an expression used when someone treats

another person harshly or sternly with the intent to help

them in the long run. In most uses, there must be some actual

love or feeling of affection behind the harsh or stern treatment

 to be defined as Tough Love.
 

 

Interviewee 1 advised he did not agree with Tough love; he would let the Lord handle the problems but when given a scenario he automatically responded. He would put the person out of his household. So, I gathered most people do not know the meaning of tough love.





interviewee 2 agreed with tough love. She had actually experienced it and seen it enacted in others life. She described tough as giving individuals a boundary whether adult or child.  The boundary steers people in the right directions. 

    



New Year 2015

New Year, new day but God's Word remains the same. As man celebrates the birth of Jesus, preparing for another year. God has spared us one more time allowing us to seek him. In all the prophesies going forth about blessings. They forget to mention there are steps to getting these blessings. True they are there but are we willing to take the steps to receive them. Take heed to the word of God and study to show thyself approved. Don't fall into the web of the world.



Ordained



The word "Ordained" is mainly used among Christian. Do we take it out of its context? The dictionary described it as a verb: Can your best friend (BFF) be ordained to be your best friend? Can your husband/wife be ordained to be your mate? My answer is yes because ordained (to select or appoint), and to invest in. They are selected as your friend or mate (etc).

1. make someone a priest or minister; confer holy orders on
2. order or decree (something) officially.
3. To invest officially (as by the laying on of hands) with ministerial or priestly authority.
4. to invest with ministerial or sacerdotal functions; confer holy orders upon.
5. to enact or establish by law, edict, etc
6. to decree; give orders for.
7. (of God, fate) to destine or predestine
8. to order or command.
9. to select for or appoint to an office
10. to invest someone with sacerdotal functions.

" On Time God"

We use the term "God is always on time" to lightly. When this becomes so vivid, even the carnal man recognizes it. When things materialize itself and even surprise you, My God My God!!!!!! God is not a force to be reckon with. In listen to T. D. Jakes teachings, he stated you have to develop a relationship with God. Then and only then you will recognize his voice (My sheep shall hear my voice). 

John 10:27-28
²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
²⁸ And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

4 Wise Creatures

Proverbs 30:24-28

²⁴ There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

²⁵ The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

    

²⁶ The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;


²⁷ The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;



²⁸ The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.


T. D. Jakes on YouTube gives an explicit breakdown of the small creatures. 

" The Book"

There are many books but only one true book (Bible). A book that many have or look at but few read it. It's a true book that would give you life if you only seek to understand. Many proclaim this book was written by man and not inspired by God. Many claim to be a true believer of what's in the book but few live what's in it. How many of us have truly experienced the glory of God. When you lose yourself in this book an allow God to help you have a true understanding of the written word: Not an altered word but pure word. Not so a water down imitation of God's word.  Truly God, you’re worthy of far more than we offer you. We're caught in things that are not real or even reasonable in this world. Those of us who truly want to serve you sometimes get caught up in the flow of the world “it’s a survival mode." When I was growing up, my parents told me you can pray so much your heart just automatically takes over and continue to pray when you can’t. Amen for that!
