Sure Hope Gazette

We decided to share how we handle tough times like what the entire world has been going. Self isolation, unable to see family and friends. For those with fragile health, fear of getting ill tries weighing us down. We will be intermittently sharing special Bible Verses to hopefully inspire and encore fellow believers and those who are desperate to know, why are we on this planet. We can have peace in our heart no matter what things may look like. This passage is primarily directed toward fellow believers. We are to encourage each other always. S here is a short video. Be Encouraged...

[Luke 21:6-22, 25-28, 31-36 NLT] 6 "The time is coming when all these things will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!" 7 " Teacher," they asked, "when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?" 8 He replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and saying, 'The time has come!' But 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don't panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won't follow immediately." 10 Then he added, "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. 12 "But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogu...

We are all living in a time like we have never seen before. We read in God's Word warning us what to watch for in what many of us call '""'The End Times." Not saying this pandemic and such are what we are waiting for but, it definitely causes us to consider what God tells us. So thankful that we can have no fear because of what Jesus Christ did for us. Without Him, we would be in a completely different state of mind. If you know Him, you know of the Hope we are talking about. But if not, we want you to know there is Sure Hope. We often put things off thinking we have loads of time. I am guilty of procrastinating most of my life. Not worth it. But thankfully God knows our heart.  Read the book of John and all of God's Word for that matter if you want to know more about The Sure Hope we are talking about. All of this reminded me about a dream I had three years ago. So we just watched it and googled what happened three years to the day of that recordin...

If you remember a while ago there was this pretty amusing television show called Duck Dynasty. My husband and I really enjoyed the dad of this fun family. His name is Phil Robertson. He loves Jesus Christ and is not afraid to stand up for the Truth. This interview is a great one, watch to hear his heart* Dive on in and enjoy watching Phil Robertson talk Truth. Watch Phil's Interview Below! * The Bible warns us to watch your life and doctrine closely, so that's why we need to clarify the following, we don't want to lead anyone the wrong way.  We can pray for him, but we can't endorse what the interviewer Glenn Beck follows, Mormonism.( Only God knows if he is saved or not,) .  Mormonism aka The church of the Latter Day Saints is a cult.    Glenn Beck' s beliefs in Mormonism  doesn't mean we don't care about him as a person, we just don't want anyone thinking Mormonism is Christian. Mormons say they are Christians, but sadly it  ...

This message is great for all of us. You may think, oh that's Joni, the lady who broke her neck in 1967 when she was 17. She's the lady who inspires people living with disabilities. That's great for them, but, I don't need to listen - it's not for me because I don't have a disability. Well, we would ask you if you do think like that, please think again. Joni's message is always a powerful one to all people. Whatever you may struggle with or however you may feel, god blesses this amazing woman with a heart that shares the love of Christ. She encourages me, and millions of others. And we want to share more messages from her as we receive them to help inspire and motivate, spur on anyone who's heart longs for meaning, Sure Hope and New Life. Including seeing that quality of life is not about whether or not your body works, you are healthy or rich, successful as the world sees successful, come and hear what real Sure Hope is all about, from a woman who kno...

Since all of my blogs are able to collide and work together, I am sharing the link to a new post that I just recently shared about where physical health and being an artist impact each other, and how my Sure Hope rescues me always.  Take a peek by just clicking the header below to go to the original blog I posted my heart on....

[Gal 4:19-31 NLT] 1 9 Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I'm going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives. 20 I wish I were with you right now so I could change my tone. But at this distance I don't know how else to help you. 21 Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? 22 The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. 23 The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God's promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God's own fulfillment of his promise. 24 These two women serve as an illustration of God's two covenants. The first woman, Hagar, represents Mount Sinai where people received the law that enslaved them. 25 And now Jerusalem is just like Mount Sinai in Arabia, because she and her children live in slavery to the law. 26 But the other woman, S...

Happy New Year everyone!  Hope you are all blessed with a meaningful, Truth filled year!  We want  to share the daily video teachings from a wonderful family that we first "met" through television about 19 years ago. Every year the Hembree family takes the viewer through the Bible in a year. 365 teachings as we read along with them. It has been sometime since we joined in. But prior to then, we had joined them for about ten years in a row! Their passion for sharing God's Word in a deep and meaningful way comes through clearly. So if you want to dig in deeper or are reading the Bible for the first time, we suggest connecting with "Bible Discovery TV." You can order a daily side that is printed and mailed to anyone with a donation of any amount. We love Janice and her family! Thank you guys for all you do and for teaching His Word. We are looking forward to following along this year. Watch January 1, 2018 Genesis 1-2 January 2 - Genesis 3-5...

No, this is not a light hearted subject but nonetheless, it's a very important one for all believers or interested parties to know about. Why? Because we aren't taught about it in most churches yet, it isa very real strategy of our enemy. Satanic ritual abuse is something we have researched for a long time now. No matter how much we hear, it still is difficult to grasp as a reality. But the trusted sources and God's Word are all we need to trust it is true. The more we know, the Christians can pray for these victims of heinous violations against them. Some are purposefully bred t become these victims, some are snatched and some sacrificed. Only the world of those who worship Lucifer in whatever form that may be, consider this horrific behaviour part of what they need to do to fulfill whatever twisted concept they believe in.

It always helps to encourage one another with God's Word. As each day passes, we are closer to eternity. We can know why we are here and have assurance of salvation. Just wanted to share the following passages to remind myself and those who want to hear. [2Co 4:3-11 NLT] 3 If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 5 You see, we don't go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 We now have this light...

Always wanting to share videos, articles and such on topics that are all about our Sure Hope. Today I listened/watched a great interview by David Carrico from "Midnight Ride,"  from Now U See TV.  a pretty interesting You Tube channel, with JuliaThompson who founded Global Awakening  Prayer.  She was a victim of the targeted individual agenda or program. Not sure what to call it. All /i know that as strange as it sounds, we've done enough research, that it is clearly a very real type of warfare. The best way I can explain it is, electronic mind  warfare. Some agency is able to actually put thoughts and feelings into targeted individuals. This woman was saved out of it by God. I suggest watching her speak because clearly she is very real, of sound mind and not making this stuff up. Thought it was a good idea to share this lady's interview not so much because of the talk about Electronic warfare, but because of her testimony and very inspiring Christ focuse...

Just wanted to share what I felt was a powerful message from Pastor Peter Frey. His words helped my eyes open more about how God's Justice and Mercy come together in...take a listen. Powerful message.

Do you Remember? Chestnuts roasting by an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose (Frankly if there Was a guy gnawing on my nose, I'd be a tad freaked out!) ....Santa Claus is coming to town, he  knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake....Sleigh bells ring are you listening, in the lane snow is glistening....walking in a winter wonderland...Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse, stockings were hung by the chimney with care (Well we never actually had a chimney, We stuck them onto the wall or whatever worked). Does any of this stuff sound familiar? I, Along with thousands, maybe millions of fellow humans, grew up with many warm fuzzy memories focused around one of the biggest holidays of the year, the one they call Christmas. There was a time when I really believed in Santa Claus. I remember circling "Stuff" In the Sears wishbook, listening with all my might for sleigh be...

Prophecy About What Is To Come; The Day Of The LORD Bible prophecy Is one of My favourite Subjects. Especially Scripture That talks about The return of our Lord Jesus Christ, About God's judgment And about What will happen to those who believe, is quite detailed. Of course many Christians have different opinions, Interpreting Scripture How they see fit. Which often Causes great debates and divisions Between brothers and sisters in Christ. Even in the New Testament We read about Divisions, Arguments And such amongst fellow believers. There were times even when they have to part ways. Of course ideally we don't want to be parting ways Over differences in interpretation of Scripture. But it does happen. What matters most is that we Must be humble, acknowledging that ultimately we won't know the exact meaning of everything in God's Word until we stand before Him. We must not hold grudges or believe we know more than someone else, and always forgive. Encourage young bel...

This year's partial solar eclipse from our  front deck in Ontario Canada. There have been a lot of YouTube videos and articles in internet land about a celestial event on September 23rd, 2017. Here is a picture that was another "sign" according to some on August 21, 2017. I struggled with this because we knew about it coming for about 100 or more years. It was not a surprise event. Yet, of course we learned that God created the lights in the skies for a variety of reasons, one of the stating signs. [Gen 1:14-19 ESV] 14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights--the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night--and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the hea...
