"Remain faithful to what you have learned, and believe...be persistant in following My commands that I have given to you...be persistant when it is even not convenient for you...it is a pressing way...but the mark is much worth it my child...and above ALL...Love beyond any human degree through Me..."
Now that is a paragraph that would sometimes be hard to take...but the Lord so spoke to me these words after I had gotten up from prayer...apparently, we all need to stay on our knees and listen more often to what God has to tell us...if we do not, then we are missing out on timely instructions...and I for one do not want to miss out on what God has for me...now or later...
I began to ponder on "Faith..."
Then I began to think about Peter---his faith wasn't up to par or he would have finished his walk on the water to Jesus...he took his eyes off and they began to wander...We cannot take our eyes off the prize...We must stay focused on what we have to do here in this world...What is that??? Well, we were called out to be like Him...to be about our Father's business...God help us to get our eyes back on Him...to stay Focused...to have Faith...not to take Risk...
Faith will move mountains...not let the Mountain crush you...
Faith will dry up rivers...not let the River drown you...
Faith will shut up the mouths of hungry lions...not let them devour you...
Faith will open up doors...not close them up to you...
Faith will teach you to love...not to hate...
Faith will keep you going...not stop you...
Faith will help you grow up in Christ...not let you die out to the world...
God help me to have that kind of FAITH!!!
Mark 11:22 & 23 & 24 "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God...For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith... Therefore I say unto you, "What things soever ye desire, whe ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them..."
Now we should use godly wisdom in what we ask for, for where your heart is there also is your treasure...I want my wants to be that in which would WANT HIM MORE!!! Amen!!!
God Bless and Have A Great Day in The Lord!!!

Enter With Thanksgiving
Psalm 100 Please read this chapter before reading this post...Thanks...
This is one of the most beautiful Psalms of thanksgiving that I have ever read...And there is so much instruction here in these 5 verses...
Several people are polled each time this year to see what they list as things they are thankful for...
Me??? Not enough paper...but I can start here...I was at the bottom of the barrel when He reached way down for me...cause He cared enough that I could be set free from ALL of satan's lies...and believe me he had and still does have tactics that will take you further out in sin and keep you longer than you wanted to stay...
I am thankful for the blood that He shed for me...I am thankful for Salvation so rich and Love beyond degree...
I am thankful that along the way He has allowed me to meet some of the greatest people...
I am thankful for my true friends...
I am thankful for my enemies...ME???Yes, we all have them...and I am thankful that I have learned to pray for them, for they are hurting themselves and do not even realize it...
I am thankful for loving parents and a home with a roof over my head...Thankful for the freedom to worship God...
The basis of our Thanksgiving...Psalm 100...written for the people of Israel...God said to them, "When you come into the promised land, and settle down in your warm homes and you have plenty to eat, don't forget Me...I led you out of the wilderness and I brought you to a land with Milk and Honey...Doesn't take long though and we all need a reminder of who God is and what He has done...that is why He calls us His Children...
Five Important Thanksgiving Commands:
1: Make a joyful noise unto the Lord---shout out to Him...Praise Him...from the depths of your being...
2: Serve the Lord...and be happy doing it...Amen!!!
3: Know who God is...and Come before Him with joy...and sing of His Praise to ALL!!!
4. Enter into His gates...Come boldly before the throne of God...
5. Know that God is Good in everything that happens in our life...God is Good!!!
May you have a Happy Thanksgiving with Christ everyday...

MEEKNESS IS NOT WEAKNESS
Isaiah 30:15 "For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not."
This was an appeal to turn to the Lord for help, but before I get too far ahead of myself, let me word an illustration and please bear with me...
When visiting any one of these places there is STRONG history that makes each one STAND OUT!!! AMAZING!!!
Jesus showed the form of meekness when He took the towel and girded Himself and washed the feet of the disciples...He showed us how to be SERVANTS OF GOD!!! Chris Hart, a friend of mine has on his profile, "I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody that somebody loves them." How awesome!!!
Moses became arrogant...misused his power by killing and Egyptian, which only dissipated his power because his own people stopped respecting him...Exodus 2:11-15
The MEEK prosper and inherit the EARTH...that is a promise from God found in Matthew 5:5...
I had rather have Jesus than anything, than to be the queen of a vast domain...I had rather be His servant here and live with Him forever than to ever think that I am a somebody...The only thing that I am, is what He has made me...and He is still working on me...soft clay is easier to work with when it is in the molding process...when it gets hard He has to break us down and start over...
While you are sharing the message of Christ do it with a humble and sweet spirit...
Let God teach you to be meek so you can live in and depend on His strength...
Doing it your way will not accomplish anything...
BE MEEK NOT WEAK IN THE LORD!!!
God Bless
This was an appeal to turn to the Lord for help, but before I get too far ahead of myself, let me word an illustration and please bear with me...
There are many powerful, overwhelming and just breathtaking sites in the world...
To drop the names of a few places; Niagara Falls, The Grand Canyon, The Great Lakes, The Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina and I could mention more...but with the noted ones above I think you will get the picture...
When visiting any one of these places there is STRONG history that makes each one STAND OUT!!! AMAZING!!!
You know people want to be sought after like vacation spots...they have the need to be something, be important, seek power and positions in this life...they think if they don't keep their MATERIAL APPEARANCES up and be ADAMANT in their speech and character that people will run over them...some have nothing, yet build walls around themselves and put on the front of having something...they are harsh...because they are not real....
Jesus showed the form of meekness when He took the towel and girded Himself and washed the feet of the disciples...He showed us how to be SERVANTS OF GOD!!! Chris Hart, a friend of mine has on his profile, "I'm just a nobody, trying to tell everybody that somebody loves them." How awesome!!!

BE MEEK NOT WEAK IN THE LORD!!!

Like An Eagle???
Someone told me once that we should be like an eagle, and I wondered, "Why like a bird?"
Well, then I couldn't let go of the scripture---"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings of eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 KJV
Wait??? Oh brother do they not know that I really do not know how to wait...Not on my own strength anyway...
Like Eagles??? First of all an eagle is a strong, confident, and a very one mate bird...very devoted...hmmm??? Got some people beat!!!
An eagle understands thermal currents and they know how and when to spread their wings...
An eagle dwells in top of rocks and clefts...in high places...
THE LORD IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION...He is my high place...I dwell under the shadow of the Almighty...
That is a wonderful place to be...no harm there...
Wait---to remain inactive...staying in one place until something anticipated happens...to be in a mindset of, "I am ready..."
Did you know that an eagle will perch on a rock and wait for the sunrise??? While waiting...it looks down to spot prey and waits for the moment to swoop down and devour...
Thought---we cannot mount up with wings of an eagle if we choose not to wait...Wait and I say---Wait upon the Lord...
Waiting can be a few seconds or as Zechariah did for 400 years...When we wait on the Hand of God to move we will soar to new heights and places in Him...
Did you know that flying into the wind is dangerous???
You get higher lifting by flying against the wind...
Thought---If you sense trouble...or that the enemy of your soul is wanting you to fly for pleasure---go against the devil...you got it...you will reach yet another higher place in God...
Eagles have amazing sight...they can see straight ahead, and to the side..."To have eyes and no vision would be worse than being blind..." Helen Keller
Look at Lot's wife...had eyes but no vision...sought pleasure...should've went against the wind...
Why look back when if you are a child of the Most High King...you have more to look for than what you had...
We need "eagle vision."
Also before flying the eagles clean their feathers...Once the feathers are restored, dead ones removed, baby ones replaced...the eagle is ready to soar into the heavens...
Purge yourselves...we will not be able to go through the fire and come out as gold if we have sin in our lives...we would just be dross...which is very ugly...Examine yourselves daily and see if ye be in the faith...if your not...perch on the rock til all the dead feathers are gone...
The eagle deals with survival of one day at a time...the bible says to take no thought of tomorrow...
Yeah...I can see that now...LIKE AN EAGLE!!!
Determined!!!

God Said I Could
As far back as I can remember, which isn't very clear at times, I always knew there was God...
Although I hadn't seen Him...
Yet, I could feel His presence near...
I knew that I had walked with Him as just a child...
But, somewhere in my growing years...
I had lost touch with faith, that seemed so wild...
Then I heard a call...
One like I had never heard before...
To my astonishment...
Yes!!!
It was God...
He said, "Daughter I have been missing you, why don't you come back home?"
I told Him that I couldn't far I had been gone so long...
But, with a Father's hand reached out...
And a heart so full of love...
God Said, "I could..."

If My People
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, andturn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14
I woke up with this on my mind this morning at 3 am...wow this verse alone in the Bible gives a child of God many things to do...turn from our wicked ways...could it be that we must stop murder with our tongues...backbiting, meddlesome, gossip...all evil and surely not from Heaven...we must get in tune with the Almighty God and ask Him to please create in us a clean heart...Purging is not an easy process and be very painful...we must be willing to go through the process and become completely clean before God...and others will notice too...
Lord that we would be willing to be obedient for your cause and for our spot in Heaven...
Amen!!!

Are You Patient With God???
Are you patient with God?
Had we rather have fast-food service...
And keep on our unhappy trod...
Or tie a knot and hold on...
Knowing the answer wil come...
We must know that...
God's timetable is not ours...
We want things way to fast...
And just the way we ask...
His timeable answers want be...
what fits our circumstance...
But, always He will answer...
The way He thinks is best...
Just like a child...
We don't think ahead...
And, He already knows this...
But, it takes time and trial to build us...
And make us who He wants us to be...
God creates a masterpiece...
For, only He has the Masterplan...
And, asking God for what we need...
Should never be taken back out of His hands...
We have to give Him time...
To complete His Masterpiece...
While waiting we must remember...
God is always Great!
God is always on Time!
God is Always Faithful!!!
This morning I woke up fresh and thankful that God had begin to answer some prayers...no, He was answering them...I am beginning to listen...God Bless All who reads this, and if you are going through an ugly picture in your life...Remember, God is creating in you a "MASTERPIECE..."

Too Busy!!!
We are out and about pretty early....
Just going here and there....
Doing things because we care...
Did your day start bad or did it start good???
I will let you only answet that...but,
If it is bad it started without God...
now is that right or wrong.....
I Have found that if I am too busy as soon as i rise...
then God does't have to hear me.....
Not about one single thing....
So in the glaze of the morning pleasure...In the fight for my treasure...I have been granted with benefits beyound man's measure...
All the grace that we are receiving...God loves us and was us not to grieve...
But if you are forgetting God, forgetting to meet with him day after day...and always in your heart...then my friend..."You have Forgotten God."
Just going here and there....

My Earthly Hero
Today on my way home from work, as I was crossing over the Warrior River I saw the barge being loaded...that took my mind back...way back...
I started thinking about my earthly hero...it was Edward Stewart...my Papaw...
LOL...everytime I looked at him as far back as I can remember...I saw Santa Claus...well, except for the beard and the suit...My Pap was Flannel Shirts and Khaky's...
He loved his family...he didn't have to buy me nothing to show his love...He just showed it...
He always took time to answer even the craziest questions...
He taught us to work...be honest workers...not just the older ones, us younguns too...
Oh sure at 5 I couldn't type...but he showed me how to wash flat plates and spoons...and even showed me how to splash the water just to make a mess and make the work fun...
We didn't have parks to go to...Mamaw's living room was just as good as outside for us grandchildren as far as he was concerned...what messes we could make...and the house was never empty...there was at one time in this ole house over 50 people and the meal...whew!!! Yes I miss him...as I grew older people would say...Now, who is your Dad? I said, Jimmy...Oh yeah Ed's boy...See I was the oldest Grand and being a girl didn't make no difference to Ed Stewart...why he would even play cowboys and indians just to watch me tie my brother up...Something a little funny...we never wanted for nothing cause what he gave us money couldn't buy...
A plain simple man...with so much common sense...I wish I had of paid more attention...He had three boys and a girl...think he was very picky over me and Aunt Jan...now his boys...LOL...he had just soon as tell them as not...and he sure got my Daddy told over me and Bo...
Yep...he was Ed Stewart as stubborn as Mamaw Jenny...his Momma...now that was a fine country lady...
I remember the day that my world changed and I started having depression as the age of 13...
Me and Bo, my brother wanted to come and see Pap one night to watch Lawrence Welk and Bonanza with him and Daddy was tired so he said we would go the next morning and sure enough after breakfast me and Bo got in the car and said, "OK come on..."
We pulled in Papaw's yard and Uncle Jerry met us outside crying...I knew my world was gone...
Papaw had died in his sleep and when I came in the house and saw him lying on the couch dead...My heart was still in time...that is the saddest first moment that I can remember...and then seeing my Daddy on his knees crying, and my Uncle Jerry and Pap's brother Uncle Johnny...It was horrible...Daddy went and got Mom...Papaw always loved her...he was a good father n law and she was like a second daughter...
But that was 13...at age 23, ten years later...I was working at a store on county line and as I started to close and go read the gas pumps...I saw him standing there shaking his head no...I rubbed my eyes and looked and he pointed for me to stay in the store...as I turned from the door five police cars pulled in and arrested three guys about to come in and rob and maybe even kill me...I looked out and Papaw was gone...
That is the last time I saw him...and I believe that God allowed him to come and help protect me at that moment...and let me see him one more time here on Earth...I just can't wait to get to Heaven...What a Day that will be...

Several folks have asked me where I got the name, or what inspired me to call this blog PamzSpamz...
Well, of course number one...my name is Pam...
I use the z just because...
Spamz...cause most of the time I just jabber anyway...
but, it is nice to go to a place that is mine...in my head and in my heart that I can spill my guts too...
Even if it is just to me...
The reason for my having started the blog, which is all new to me...my heart inspiration..."LisaMe"
If you do not know this lady...wonderful Christian Lady who has had her share of ups and downs...and you never know she is hurting...
She helped me start this...
Not only that but she has showed me how, through Christ to open up to myself and not give the devil credit for everything...
Some things that go wrong are our fault and ours alone...and to Christ we have to take our faults and ask for His guidance and help on how to change us...
