Thank
you so much for visiting our Web Site.
During my travels I am asked quite often, how difficult is it to
be so open about my life, battles, victories and failures. Wouldn't
it be easier and more private to forget about the past and live
the new life that I have been given. Maybe! I know that not everyone
is called to be this open, and there is a fine line that must be
drawn between bragging about one's past and sharing it. I have nothing
to brag about. There can be nothing glamorous about falling face
down in the mud. My life was worthless as it was, but God is in
the business of taking something useless and making it useful. Something
ugly and making it something beautiful. I believe that I am called
to share what God has done in my life, but to do so without giving
glory to the dark side of my past. It is the Victory, the freedom
and the future that I choose to focus on. It is not to be capitalized
upon for profit or fame. I am not called to be famous, but rather
to be faithful.
When I speak of my past I am literally talking about someone else.
II Cor 5:17 says that "If any man is in Christ he is a new creation.
The old things have past away and all things have become new". To
totally understand this is to experience it. Certainly there are
those who will remember your failures, but when you truly understand
that you ARE a NEW CREATION, freedom comes from condemnation and
you are free.
Because I am now a Christian does not mean that I have arrived.
It does not certify me as a perfect individual. It only means that
I have the hand of someone who is perfect and He is guiding me.
Sometimes even dragging me kicking and screaming as I can still
rebel. Just when I think I am getting a handle on things another
challenge comes. Most battles I stand fast but some I fall. What
I do know is that failure is essential to Christian Growth. The
Idea that we can live up to the 10 commandments is absurd. There
was only one who could do that, Christ himself. He gave us the law
to show us that we need a savior. Each and every one of us. Christian
and non Christian alike. We need a savior. We need the savior and
his name is Jesus.
There are some who would say that Christianity is a crutch. I say
"Its not a crutch, Its both my legs". Without Christ, I am nothing.
Certainly I could accomplish much for the world but when it is all
said and done, only what I do for the Kingdom of God will live on.
Take a walk with me down the Romans Road. It will be the most important
trip you will ever take...
| Romans
3:23 |
For all
have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. |
| Romans
6:23 |
For the
wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord. |
| Roman
6:1, 2 |
What
shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
Certainly not! |
| Romans
8:14, 15 |
For as
many as are led by the spirit of God, these are sons of God,
for you do not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you receive the spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out,
Abba Father, the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are Children of God, and if Children, then heirs of
God and joint heirs with Christ. |
| Romans
8:1 |
There
is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus. |
The day that
I excepted Christ, was the day I began a new life. Every day is
a new day and a new beginning. The failures are fewer and farther
between. I hate failure but I am now learning from each one. Victory
can come from failure as you see God's plan and why he allows
us free choice.
Being a GOOD PERSON will not earn you salvation. Salvation is
a gift. It can not be earned only accepted. Christ paid the ultimate
price for our sin. He took it on Himself, and died as the penalty
that we might be free from the Law of sin and death. He did not
come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. He is our Savior,
Brother and friend. He is not expecting you to be perfect, just
willing to let Him be perfect in and through you!
If you have never prayed and asked Christ for the gift of Salvation,
now is a great time. Just pray this prayer from the sincerity
of your heart and Christ is faithful to forgive and give you the
gift of eternal life with Him. Also life here on earth with his
help. Life and Life more abundant.
Pray
with me!
Lord
Jesus.. I know that I am a sinner and that we have all fallen
short and sinned. I thank you for dying for me on the Cross and
paying the ultimate price for my sin. I ask you to forgive me.
Come into my life and make me whole. I want to have a relationship
with you. Teach me to Love, forgive and live as you would have
me to live. Thank you Jesus. I accept your gift of Salvation.
Amen
If you prayed this
prayer sincerely, then you too are a new creation. That means
that all of the sin of the past is gone. From this moment, you
are white as snow. You will sin again, but Christ is always there
to receive you, forgive you, and enable you to have Victory over
the temptations and Sins of your life. Remember that Sin begins
in the mind. So renew your mind by reading his word. Hook in to
a good Bible believing church and fellowship with those who will
support you in your walk. Remember also that Man is only Man.
Look to God. Man can always disappoint you.
If you want to E mail me I will write back. You will not receive
mail from me asking for money or unsolicited mail etc. My heart
is simply to talk with you and rejoice in your new walk. If you
are already a Christian say hi as well. You will NOT become part
of any mail list. We do NOT solicit funds.
God Bless & Keep You!

The
Ministry
-
Although
she is well known for her music her hearts desire is to reach
the lost through music, testimony and lifestyle challenge.
Kimberley Schneider Ministries is not funded by any organization
and does not actively engage in fund raising through the soliciting
of offerings by mail or phone. Should you be interested in "Home"
or "From Madam to Miracle" you will not receive letters soliciting
funds.We also believe in the support of the local church.We
believe that God has called this ministry and will support it.
He does so through the sale of books, tapes, CD's and Video's
as well as the gifts given by those that feel God has prompted
them to do so. Kimberley and her Board believe that to truly
be blessed we must fulfill the calling that God has placed on
our lives. To do this, we give freely as we have freely received.
You can't out give God.
Programs are available to assist you in getting Kimberley's
Testimonial Video and other tools, into the hands of people
involved in the lifestyle of abuse that Kimberley was delivered
from. If you are interested in receiving information about these
programs, or Kimberley Schneider Ministries, please contact
our office for more information.
