Reflections
A Heart to Please God…is Gifted PEACE
The Lord Jesus holds the Keys to life, and life more abundantly,
so that our soul prospers.
He is the Breath of life, and His Breath is The Word of God that brings life to our Soul.
FAITH-LOVE-OBEDIENCE-HOLINESS
Like David, we may encourage our soul by trusting fully in The Lord,
and He will Give us Peace.
What shoulder do you lay your trust upon?
Who is your counsellor, the bishop of your soul?
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)
FAITH – Remain loyal no matter the cost.
No matter what surrounds you, or comes upon you, trust that The Lord is Good and He will do as He promised. A heart like David stays Faithful to The Lord in times of adversity, or even in our own errors. We do not turn away but face The Lord in all things, even the consequences of correction. Even when all looks hopeless, even when we are surrounded and outnumbered, even when our eyes fail us and we can see no proof of hope, yet we remain sanctified by Faith in Jesus, …EVEN IF.
"And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open." (Isaiah 22:22)
Are you trusting only in what you see by your own sight to think something is mighty, strong, and great? Walking by sight of this world leads many to think that large numbers or big things give them strength. Or maybe you feel surrounded and outnumbered, so you are fearful or hopeless? "Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!" (Isaiah 31:1) If you place your trust in man, in their ways and their works, then you will have the mark of their reward. "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord." (Jeremiah 17:5)
Jesus warns us to not follow their ways and works because they can do nothing without Faith in The Lord God. Without Faith their works become as nothing, having no power to open or shut anything. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." (Matthew 23:4)
Place your trust in Jesus, do as He said to do, then you will have the mark of His reward.
"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is." (Jeremiah 17:7)
"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (John 7:38)
LOVE – God is Love.
Do you Love The Lord God above all people and things in this life? This is the first and greatest commandment, so that in doing so you may then be able to love others correctly. Without doing the first you cannot do the second, no matter how much you think you love others. Without placing God first you cannot know His Will, and outside it you can do nothing. But in Him, in His Will, you can do all things. Loving others in a pure heart also returns our Love to The Lord God, for what we do to others we do to Him, so we can show Love to Him by how we Love others. Loving His Word, doing as He said to do, is knowing Him within you, so His Love may shine outward to others through you. "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:40)
This world cannot love rightly, for God is Love. By receiving the Love of God through Jesus Christ we can receive this Love and Love others in Spirit and Truth. Many think they know truth, or know how to love, or even know God, but deny Him by their very works.
We are to seek His Face to know His Voice, hear His Words and Love them, and do them. How can anyone love if they do not know Love. Jesus came to reveal God’s Love in Spirit and Truth, and we receive this Truth in His Love for us, that we may now Love others as He Loves us. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." (John 15:12)
OBEDIENCE – My heart desires to be pleasing unto The Lord.
We desire to be pleasing to The Lord, with a heart that desires to do His Will and not our own will. "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." (Hebrews 10:7) However, we may not have started out this way.
Often, we learn this through trial and error, suffering many heavy burdens under our own will or following the will of others; thinking that is the way to have life and life more abundantly. "For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls." (1 Peter 2:25) In time we learn the truth of self-will and its iron yoke that leads us into captivity. Only The Lord God can break us free so that we may learn only God knows what is best, His Will and not our own be done. A heart after God seeks His conviction to guide and keep our ways in Him, always, to seek HIS Will to be done. "And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing." (Luke 15:5)
Obedience is no longer harsh, or burdensome, when we learn it is harsher and more burdensome to do our own will. We come to Love the Truth of this, and if we Love Him, we do as He says, and we count it all Joy learning that His yoke is not hard or heavy. His commandments are not grievous but are to keep us safe, guided under His wings of refuge. May we be found running to His commands not away from them, or offended by them. "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:30)
HOLINESS – Set apart, you are in this world but not of it.
Basically, you are a misfit, you do not belong or fit into this world, you are not a part of its mindset, and its ways are not your ways. Thank The Lord!
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." (1 Peter 2:9-10)
You are set apart from many others, different, sanctified by Faith in Jesus. His Truth makes you not of this world. Holy is to be set apart, not conformed to this world, but transformed by the Truth in Christ Jesus. "I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." (John 17:14-17)
Holy hands are those without wrath and doubt. When this world is taken over in violence you are not moved or carried away to be part of it. And when this world is left in doubt you remain inside your Hope of unseen Faith in Jesus, trusting and believing upon His Word. For if you look for peace outside of Jesus then it will be far from you, but if you look for peace within Jesus then it will come to you. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27)
We continually pursue to be set apart from this world, to reject sin and not excuse sin, but seeking to do what is Good in The Lord’s eyes and not our own. Repentance is a gift, and grace is the time we are given to seek it out. When Jesus reveals sin to us, we repent and turn toward Him, not away from Him. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)
Daily walking this out we learn more of Him and become closer and closer, from glory to Glory, for only The Lord God is Holy but we may abide in Him and become One with Him to be transformed pure in heart with no more hypocrisy, but in all things we do for The Lord with pure intentions.
We can speak the truth of a lie to uncover a lie but heal nothing in doing so. Uncovering can leave one naked to now see the truth of what they were once covered in. If you uncover a lie without filling with Truth in Jesus then you leave one empty and naked only to become worse than they were when they could not see it. Discern the lie but speak the Truth in Love to heal and fill with The Word of God, covering in His Garment and the lie must flee and cannot return when Truth and Faith in Jesus remain.
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 4:7)
Scripture is like a hidden treasure, it's not how much you read or how many times you read it that matters; it's how much you believe of it, and in it, that matters. There is only One Truth, there cannot be many different truths, that type of thinking is a lie that voids the meaning of Truth itself.
"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." (Revelation 3:7-8)
The Way
Walking it out... Moments of Serendipity
Ring of Fire Ministries is dedicated to love, embrace and uplift those who are hurting and in need of an everlasting healing touch, which is authentic and pure. It is my prayer that you will be blessed, as you experience the divine touch of the Holy Spirit, letting Him permeate your soul into wholeness, through His gentle leading and embrace.
The purity of love is the commonality the Body of Christ increasingly shares on a deeper level, more than ever before imagined or conceived. Join with us on this journey, to not only fully receive His love to overflowing, but also in pouring that same pure love out to others precisely and perfectly while forsaking self.
As we follow His leading with humility, anointing is released, in order His will may be done in our lives, hearts and minds, on Earth just as it is in Heaven. As you settle into a place of wholeness, in lack of nothing, save Him.
This is your Serendipity moment… Your date with the Divine, so to speak. All are worthy and invited to this table, as we gather together of one accord, for the purpose of glorifying Jesus in the Name of Love, Himself.
Please be at liberty to explore, at your good pleasure, the various resources made available to compliment and enrich your walk with our Lord Jesus and with those who you cherish and love.
May growth be enough, while Jesus is your primary heart's desire.
Love came down… His Name is Jesus.
In His Love Eternally,
Angela ~ Marked By Heaven
For Love's Sake...
This is the way, walk in it. Isaiah 30:21

About Us
Lacking Nothing...
It is in our weakness, our heart cries out to Him, activating the pouring of His pure love into us, restoring us in complete and total wholeness.
We at Ring of Fire Ministries stand free of judgment and have been right where you are… Hopeless, at a loss, broken and in need of saving. We understand your pain and struggles all too well. Therefore, it is our pleasure to introduce you to the One Who actually can bind up the wounds of the past and instill within you His love, for the healing you have been waiting and longing for, from the inside ~ out.
Love came down, not for the worthy, but for love’s sake. Jesus loves you with a fervent, undeniable love, not based on what you have done, but what He already did. All you have to do is simply be open to receive; freely He has given and freely you shall receive.
It's a promise.
The truth is, we all require an element of love, often seeking it from sources that leave traces of pain, void of consistent relief. However, when hearts are healed His way, it is everlasting, permanent and without condition.
Please know it is our honor to assist you on your walk of fostering an intimacy with Jesus, in order that His love within flows from your heart and out of your lips in authentic purity.
Just a closer walk with Jesus is all it takes, it is time to take that step in truth…
He has been waiting for you, your whole life.
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17
