It is getting hard for me to blog but I want to share something with you that will help you a lot.
You can get books, CD's if you want to continue studying the lessons that we have been learning by
contacting 'Justified walk.com' on your computer. Feel free to do this, it is a ministry and they are
free to you if you will share them and help others be ready for Jesus to come. Frank Philips was an
evangelist and church pastor etc for 45 years. Also you will find other authors too and sermons,
another one is Glenn Coon. He shares experiences to help understand his topics and its good too.
I will remember to pray for my viewers and when Jesus comes we will get to meet in heaven. I'll be looking forward to seeing you there. Thank all of you for viewing my blog and I hope you were blessed by it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." I may drop in once in a while to see if anyone has been on the site. I'll be 87 in May and it's time to rest my weary bones and my mind and get myself ready for Christ's return. Grandma Joan.

God's Yoke Is Also A Yoke of Service
Matthew 10:8 "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."
Matthew 20:26-28 "And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve...."
The yoke is an instrument of service. Cattle are yoked for labor, and the yoke is essential that they may labor effectually. By this illustration Christ teaches us that we are called to service as long as life shall last. We are to take upon us His yoke, that we may be co-laborers with Him.
If you will seek the Lord and be converted every day; if you will of your own spiritual choice be free and joyous in God; if with gladsome consent of heart to His gracious call, you come wearing the yoke of Christ,--the yoke of obedience and service,--all your murmurings will be stilled, all your difficulties will be removed, all the perplexing problems that now confront you will be solved.
Whatever business engagements men may yoke up with, if Christians, they must wear the yoke of duty to Christ. This is their allegiance. They are to consider themselves bound by superior obligations. The Master, Jesus Christ, has placed His yoke upon the neck of every disciple. The life service is pledged to Him in accepting His yoke. Anything that will mar or hinder his perfect service to God is to be broken off, whatever its nature or character may be...
I hope you are following on to know just what Christ intends to do for His people. To me it is a wonderful experience. There are times when the devil messes with our minds and we have to resist Him and draw near to God and he will flee. Then we have peace again because we know that we are following on to know God and Jesus His Son. Remember He does the work in us and not ourselves. Grandma Joan
