Transformed Moms: SLOW FADE? PROTECT OUR FAMILIES...

It is GOD who BLESSES and TRANSFORMS...

This is a blog for women (not just moms) who:

(1) Desire to be transformed by JESUS' LOVE, HOLINESS, AND GRACE;

(2) Believe that GOD'S WORD is the true Spirit food for HIS HOLY SPIRIT who lives within us;

(3) Submit to GOD and walk this journey of life with HIM transforming us more and more into HIS likeness.

It's a blog about the POWER OF TRANSFORMED LIVES. Let's begin with yours and mine and pass it on... 1 + 1 + 1...

Since GOD's HOLY SPIRIT lives inside a christian, let's choose to be nurtured and transformed by feasting daily on HOLY SPIRIT food - GOD's WORD - The Holy Bible..

My regular posts stopped in 2013, with a major move and the chronic illness and eventual death of our oldest daughter. Yes, we grieve daily, yet I am determined to continue to let the LIGHT of my LORD and SAVIOR shine through me. I have tried to start posting again, over the last few years, but have not been consistent. So, I think the biggest blessing for you and me both will be to intersperse some new posts while revisiting some of the former posts. Let's begin with "Oh, the JOY!" as we head into living through Fall 2019; meeting back here 1-2 days a week.

If you need daily encouragement, you will find plenty by clicky on past posts. When reading earlier posts, you will see that I often posted daily, following this format: ...Sunday in the SON, Meditation Monday, GratiTuesday, Women in the WORD Wednesday, Transforming Thursday, Family Fellowship Friday, Ketchup & Mustard Saturday.

There's a whole lot here! Take your time to browse.

Please come back and visit each week. Welcome!

Because of JESUS, we can be family,

SLOW FADE? PROTECT OUR FAMILIES...

FAMILY FELLOWSHIP FRIDAY

.

God is holy! He hates sin! Yet, it's all around us. We must encourage purity in our families...teach it to our children.

.

"Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they shall see God..."

Matthew 5:8

.

We are in a huge spiritual battle. Of course, there is nothing than satan wants more than the souls of our children. Yet, the lures and bait are everywhere. I teach at a University...I see it and here it. I supervise student teachers in the schools...I see it and hear it. I live life in and around the community...yes, unholiness and impurity of spirit are rampant. My heart aches for our young people in this information bombarded age. How do we protect our families? Here are a few things that I would like to submit to you. If you have others, please leave a comment and let us know.

.

Fix our eyes on Jesus...teach and model His love...

Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6)

Build strong relationships within the family unit filled with intimacy (IN-TO-ME-SEE)

Teach holiness and purity in the home from a very early age.

Buy a TV Guardian filter www.tvguardian.com

Buy the Bsafe program for computers for internet protection from pornography and other horrible influences www.bsafehome.com

Set other strong controls on TV's and computers such as time limits and cable settings...

Watch movies like FIREPROOF together and discuss some of the teachings and quotes..."Fireproof doesn't mean that a fire will never come but when it comes you will be able to withstand it."

I'm praying for you!

Spend lots of time in quality FAMILY FELLOWSHIP!

Today I purchased the movie Fireproof and as I was paying Caitlin said to me "mommy that is one of my favorite movies, I love that movie" I don't know what she remembers from the movie or what she got out of it but I pray that that movie continues to be her favorite movie as she grows into a young lady, teenager, young adult, wife ect. Thank you love you

A Little History of this Blog:

A group of moms in Pitman, New Jersey began meeting every Tuesday morning in June 2008 to learn how to be Master-Full Moms. Although that class only lasted that summer, we have continued to have other classes for moms offered at the Pitman church of Christ. This blog will remain like an ongoing class. So, come back each day and join us as we discuss being God's women as we encourage transformation in each other.
.
3 POINTERS TO NAVIGATE THIS BLOG:

1. Just below, you'll find a series of questions and answers about who Transformed Moms are.

2. Options for getting started...after those questions and answers... YOU COULD click on the June 2008 Archive, scroll down to the first post called MASTER-FULL MOMS and start from the beginning with our 14 day devotional challenge, or....

2. WHAT DOES A MOM DO WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN HER?

… those who live in accordance with the SPIRIT have their minds set on what the SPIRIT desires …life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to GOD. It does not submit to GOD’S law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please GOD. You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the SPIRIT, if the SPIRIT OF GOD lives in you…Therefore, sisters, we have an obligation… by the SPIRIT you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live… Romans 8:5-13

6. MOM, DAUGHTER OF GOD, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWER TO LIVE AND NOT LOSE HEART?

For GOD, WHO said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made HIS light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of CHRIST.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from GOD and not from us.

We are:

· hard pressed on every side, but not crushed

· perplexed, but not in despair

· persecuted, but not abandoned

· struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:5-12
