Question: "Is there a difference between the book of life and the Lamb's book of life?"

Answer:There are eight references in New Testament to the “book of life,” and two of them refer specifically to the book of life that belongs to the Lamb,Jesus Christ. Seven of the references appear in the book of Revelation. Those whose names are written in the book of life are those who belong to God, those who have attained eternal life.

Paul refers to those who have labored alongside him as those whose names are in the book of life (Philippians 4:3), again identifying the book of life as a record of the names of those who have eternal salvation. In the same way, Revelation 3:5 refers to the book of life in which the names of believers in the Lord are found. These are those who overcome the trials of earthly life, proving that their salvation is genuine. This verse also makes it clear that once a name is written in the book of life, Jesus promises that He will never blot it out, proving once more the doctrine of eternal security. The Lord Jesus, who is speaking to the churches in this part of Revelation, promises to acknowledge his own before His Father. Conversely, Revelation 20:15 reveals the fate of those whose names are not written in the book of life—eternity in the lake of fire.

In Revelation 13:8 and 21:27, we find the references to the "Lamb's book of life," in which also are the names of all those who have been washed by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. The Lamb who has been “slain from the creation of the world” has a book in which are written all those who have been redeemed by His sacrifice. They are the ones who will enter the Holy City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:10) and who will live forever in heaven with God. Since the book of life is that which records all who have eternal life through the Lamb, it’s clear that the book of life and the Lamb’s book of life are one and the same.

I have always read in the Bible about the ones of God and of Jesus being one and the same, so how can the Book of Life and the Lambs book of life be two separate books? Let's use me as an example I am first a daughter, wife, mother, author, and evangelist, but yet I am one person. Could I not have two or more separate books with names in it? Then how hard is it for Cod to have one called the book of life and another called the "Lamb's book of life?"

You know how you talk to someone you love, and it seems like your words have no merit; for they want to continue doing what they want to do anyway. Regaurdles if you approve of what they are doing or not. Let's just say I told my husband and his friend the person they are both trying to beat knowledge into isn't able to obtain it. These two men being older I feel should instruct more with love rather then the debate thing they got going on. It hurts me to see them pound on this young man about his passion for drawing and cars. One of them don't even know what the heck he is talking about so he twist the story to driving a semi truck. Wait he don't even know how to change the brakes, oil, or brake fluid. Okay all he knows how to do is change the tire and he feels that is all he needs to know. Now this 19 year old junior in high school in my opinion is seeing them as men in attack mode.

This poor child dislikes living in America and wants to go to Japan to live and go to an Automotive College there. He has a lot of Asian friends and he is learning their langue as well as writing the characters. I asked him why he wants to move to Japan and he said that he only wants to have 2 children. He and friends are going to work on and with a race car team, he also wants to design cars. He draws real well and he is working on 2 different types of comic books both having to do with racing and you can see his progress in drawing. Well talented young man full of life and vibrant he is beyound blessed he can also play the saxophone tenor and alto by ear. He played while in school and he was doing real well according to me being his mother. This child like my others are going to do well in life.

Evangelist M. Richardson 

2010 August - Just one week from the first day of school, we moved from Indianapolis to Sherman, Texas met some friends along the way and a limited amount of money. Due to the constant fixing of the van. Stayed in 2 hotels and a Pastor's wife invited us to their home for supper where when we left he bought gas for us. As we continued toward Sherman we had to make several stops due to the overheating of the engine. Long rest time in Oklahoma near Choctaw Casino. We broke down and stayed overnight in front of O'reily's Auto Parts store. I just want to add here God had us covered, every time we stopped there was someone to help us. I thank God for his divine favor over our lives and throughout our trip. Once in Sherman the help didn't stop but increased once the van was fixed enough we made it in time for church. After church the pastor had us all to meet him at Cici's Pizza. The church paid for 2 weeks of out motel stay, and from there we struggled until we were told about the Sherman Youth Connections and they help us while we were struggling living on no income but SSI. All the children were enrolled in school successfully and yes on time Googled all the schools that our children would be attending; only to find out they were all close by the motel. In October we could no longer afford our motel rooms. So we went to the Grayson County Shelter where we stayed until 2011 January 11th. A man blessed us with a new van that later became totaled in February 2011.

2011 January 11 - We moved into the house located in Perrin Fields in Denison, Texas and we do all of our commuting in Sherman and the children go to Sherman schools. By the grace of God we have never had any problems paying bills thankful to the "Front Door" program that paid all of our bills for the first 6 months. My husband told me that God said that we are not to pray in the house so that when we move the owner can continue to rent it out, and that we aren't supposed to attend church, but we can attend the church we attended first. I am not going to tell you that that has not been a struggle for me at least. With my husband and I not working it has really put me in a downward spiral because it is important for me to get to know my surroundings and the people in it. I feel restricted to the house; only able to leave to go to the store or to the children s school. Due to our fixed income we don't get a chance to do much. I love the house that we are living in but I find in my writing time that really I only have time limited time for chatting and visiting with my only friends Paula and Terrie (I chat with Terrie on Facebook or texting only). I call back home during my spare time my mother and grandmother are the only two I talk to. So far my grandmother has been in the hospital twice and her sister once and there has been three deaths. Holidays are real hard for me for there is no one else to celebrate with but us, I really want this year to be different going into the year 2014. I have to admit I do pray so that I can stay connected to God. From 2011 to presently my oldest daughter has a problem communicating well with others at times, some females she calls friend have turned out to be disturbingly mean and she evens argues and fusses with her sister a lot. This year has been a a real test for me in not coming unglued when talking to them about the way they conduct themselves in school and around other people differently than they do at home. They really do not know how much it really hurts me to know they are acting like worldly like they do not have any home training. It hurts only because they are saved and they know how they should conduct themselves in our absence. Like in my beginning statement I am not perfect, but I do learn from my mistakes and believe me there is plenty to learn. with this set up I have learned that without praying and attending church somewhere you cannot grow nor can you be in the will of God. So my message is this God will not tell you to do anything against his will the bible says try the spirit by the spirit; so stay in your word and remain prayerful.

I have been struggling with my business since 2011 because I have no real support and feel that once it gets going well someone will want to take over. Kind of like the story about the hen needing to bake a cake and asking for help but no one wanted to help but they all sure wanted to eat once it was finished. Besides that the takeover of my supplier without knowing how that company information and what is required. All I really want to do is succeed in my business so that I can bring God his tithes. I realize I need help and a prayer partner and yes I am still praying and from time to time ordering personal items for friends and self.

God bless you beautiful people!!!

Half Praise and or Testimony is like telling a little white flat out LIE. Too many people everywhere is believing as long as I tell it that is all I need. Some of my favorites is being a single mom and God has blessed me to quailify for free or reduced lunch and clothing vocher. Look lady you have 1 child and you live with a relative what BILLS do you have? Now go sit down MISS, I live above my means just bought a brand new car with insurance I can't afford along with my phone bill. How about this one as well?? Last week my lights, water, and gass was turned off and my rent needed to be paid; and I just want to tell you Jesus paid it all. Hmmmmm last week you and your husband got paid sometime in the week and yes without Jesus yyou both would not have a job. Go have a seat.Both are very incomplete and not everyone knows the situation, and to others they appear as if they do not know how to tell a story. 

Another way to look at it is like this; if you half tell anything what can anyone learn from what you went through? Not only that but how much of your untold praise or testimony is your fault if your brother or sister fails to obtain the same servises that you did to save them money? Do you think you are at fault? No well let me help you. Turn to 2 Corinthins 11- 13  11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. 12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 13 For we write none other things unto you, that what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 

I must say God knows more about you then just your heart. Just open your word and start to read.

He know how many hairs are on your head.

He knows how many cells are in your body.

He knows all about your body make and type.

He knows all about your attitude and your health.

He knows about every pain you have.

He knows what will upset you to what will make you happy.

He knows what makes you you.

But what do you know about the Father besides he loves you and forgives you of your sins?

People are always saying God knows my heart. Well it is obvious that you do not know your own heart. Well my friend the preacher who wrote the book of Ecclesiates chapters 9 through 12 has a lot to say about this very thing. Don't take my word for it read for yourself and yes there are more vereses on the heart.  

What does SALVATION mean to you, while others judge you?

People can make you feel as though you are the biggest worst sinner there is. Not realizing they are sinners just like you saved by Grace. They want to be seen/thought of as having it all together. As long as you are breathing and and are alive you will never have it all together. Our flesh ain't nor will it ever be saved but as long as we keep it, under subjection; to holiness life style. Although they never stop and think about how they come off to others and they do not think about anyones feelings. Most people will tell you I am blunt and voicetress; means to say I care more about the words I can say to lift myself higher than you. they will quote more scriptures then you ever thought you would hear all of inside a five minute telling you off (or showing you some love).

How does one stand while in judgement of others

1.) Ask them to tell you what they did before they got saved. Now don't take the time to judge their past but learn from there testimonie.

2.) Ask them how long did it take them to get to where they are? Again take notes and yes learn.

3.) Do not compare yourself to anyone, for you are the only you there is.

4.) Love who you are and never doubt who you are.

5.) Pray and ask God to show you what he wants to do to bring in more souls into the Kingdom of God. Learn what HE has called you to do to do your part build your Father's Kingdom. Build in love so you may reap in love.

2006-2009 I went through a serious time of depression of crying and praying alot. Needing to make sense of the awkard feeling I was having. Everyone around me focused on my husband telling me to leave him. Only to find myself deeper depressed and about to give birth to number 7. Husband and I having our own problems and then we deciede for him to go to school and drive a truck. Well we decieded for him to drive over the road, and then the floor falls from under me while he was driving. A major set back hit to CPS one of my kids did something that had me spinning out of control and no one knew how bad off I really was. I hid behind smiles and pretended like everything was alright. I was on the battle field of judgement about my mothering skills to me being a wife. Now here is the tripped out thing NOT ONE OF THESE WOMEN WERE MARRIED! What I walked away with these nay sayers were not my problem I was. Married with a problem into a problem and quickly adding to it. At 18 years we started opening up and talking about us and starting over. Now we have become closer and talk about everything no regrets but thankful for the every lesson learned. No one can push you except you allow them and you determine how far they can push you. Some would quickly say this was a Job experience that I went through, but honestly God had to put me in my place so that I would take my place. Eliminate all the unneccessary people in your life who are not appart of your daily life. 

Since then my only answer to single women is this: Until young woman you have been in a relationship with one man and are still married to him longer; you still can not tell me how to be married to my husband. I have peace, love, and happiness! God is good.

2012- 2013 My daughter was texting and communicating on facebook, with who she thought was a friend. The friend played a prank on her and I interveined by stopping all texts that turned into a big hot mess. Little girl's mother passed sometime that year and and she was telling me my daughter was a good friend who listened to her. Somewhere this girls acting Ainnie got on the phone and flat out accused me of saying this girl's mother faked her death and other very distrubing things. Well needless to say this got out of hand real quick. My daughter reported this insident to her principal and school counselor. Due to the number of people added to this hot mess.

Being down here in Texas I have found that it is easy to judge that they do not like new commers at all. As with anywhere you find that everywhere you go. Stay prayful and focused on what God wants you to do.
