Church History



I know it's been a while...really a long while 😯 busy reading lots of Church history and some world history and it seems like it's all coming together. Trying not to get overwhelmed, it's so interesting. I scratch my head and wonder how I'm going to make it all come together in my mind.

I'm talking about Church history from the apostles death to Azusa days, most people when they hear the beginning of Church history they automatically go to Azusa street but if we dig further back it's even more interesting.

There's so much to post, I shall return and post pieces and bits of what I discovered...

Here’s an interesting piece I found the Christians(meaning All believers at that time)  of the first century there symbol to identify was an anchor, not the cross because the cross was considered a symbol of shame. Which is why Jesus was hung on it, to shame Him. The anchor was also on Jewish coinage but eventually phased out.

Funny Dream...

A funny dream I had…try not to laugh to hard…I was walking through my room to my bathroom when I suddenly heard a baby’s cry on my bed I looked but I said to myself,   Surely Not! I kept walking but then I heard another baby’s cry, every time I ignored the cries there was yet another baby on my bed. I don’t know if the dream ended or what but I totally put the dream in the back of my mind. Three to four days later I was at my desk at work, I was talking to God; I could feel him like he was sitting so close to me such sweet peace. So I asked him about my dream I told him surely Lord that can’t be live babies that I’m going to have cause I’m up in age (he replied instantly, remember Sarah). Yes Lord but I am a single lady, Sarah had a husband (can’t describe it but I heard the Lords laughter) what would people say Lord, just doesn’t seem possible (I am the impossible, still I heard his laughter). I myself began to laugh, this is crazy Lord. But then in a happy but serious voic...

GOD answers little prayers not just Big Ones

March 2000 still a fairly new convert repented and baptized in Jesus Name, seeking the Holy Ghost the ladies from a small central Texas church invited me to a ladies meeting in Lufkin-Nacogdoches area. I found sitters for my guys that were 3 and 8 at that time and rushed in my packing.  Made a mental note of two thinks in particular that I had to get no matter how tight my budget was. I talked to God, told him you are my provider now and you know us girls have to have our stuff to keep pretty so please Lord make a way for me. We drove into a beautiful campground still had those two items on my mind and told Sisters Torres and Rolland we have to go to town as soon as we register and get our stuff put in the dorm.  We registered and were handed a yellow envelope (more like a packet). When I got a chance I opened the envelope and their before my eyes are the two items I had asked God for! I was like WOW God answered my prayer so fast. To anyone out there it may not seem like a b...

Approaching the Throne Boldly

Just got back from a conference and was reading an Elders book he had just published and I was inspired to write the next paragraphs... In 2007 I discovered a lump the size of a quarter that at times ached so doctors wanted to cut, aspirate and whatever else they thought was needed,  I told them NO you will not touch me. As christians when faced with hard decisions I believe we have the authority to approach God throne boldly and ask for certain things in our lifes. I was desperate so I did that I inquired of the Lord and told the Lord if you don't heal me I am leaving this world but Lord I am not ready to leave this world. I have two sons that still need to be raised and I don't want their father or my family to raise them. I am desperate Lord heal me or take me quickly. A year later I returned for my yearly test, and the technician stopped in the middle of the procedure and told me he had to go get a doctor...at that precise moment I called out to God and told Him yo...
