About Jana Tether
My #1 in life is God...my husband, family, and friends follow. Writing is a passion of mine, as is reading, performing and directing. I lead a small group of wonderful, God-loving, creative artists (actors, writers, and a director).

I love people and I love people's stories. We all have one no matter who we are.
Humanity fascinates me....Why?....Our actions and decisions make me smile, weep, ponder, and scratch my head sometimes. Because of this I wrote a book called "And God Created Human: A Collection of Scenes and Monologues" that humorously portrays characters that I'm sure most of us can relate to in one way or another. These are skits, scenes, monologues, vignettes that can be performed for worship services, retreats, and Bible study; also great for a personal read. They show God's love for us despite ourselves.

Sharing my "God moments" with people who need to hear it makes my life as a follower of Christ worthwhile ... humanity connecting to one another, but more importantly, humanity connecting with the Almighty One.

Also...I love nature, hiking, and traveling and am able to enjoy these immensely with my fantastic husband.

Have a beautiful day my treasured friend!

MAKE NO PROVISIONS FOR THE FLESH AND BE PREPARED TO SUFFER!!!

 A Perfect Rose

Want to live and move always in the glow of God's glory? How wonderful is that thought to a discouraged heart! Want to know Him and enjoy the relationship with Him that He tells us we can have? Are you willing to cast aside all that will hinder you in your quest to know and experience Him in the fullness of your salvation? Then you must be prepared to suffer. This is a given!

To have, hold and enjoy the beauty and exquisiteness of the rose we must carefully pluck it from among the painful thorns, which are ever present to afflict us if we carelessly venture into their path. Christ is indeed the Rose (Rose of Sharon) above all roses. The Rose who was so bruised and crushed that He was unrecognizable as the perfect rose. The Rose from which the elixir of Heaven (that is heavens cure for all that ails humankind) pours forth into the lives of His chosen and adored children. Not in His supernatural capacity as God did He suffer. But in His capacity as a human man who trust and depends solely on the word and directions of God the Father. And through His suffering the miraculous substance of His untarnished blood has made available to those who believe the keys to heaven and the treasures of God's kingdom. Our salvation is free but the cost of being able to walk in the righteousness that Jesus blood purchased for us is not. We must put off the old man who we were and put on the new who we now are. We must put on Christ. What does it mean to put on the Lord Jesus? It doesn't mean that we can put Him on, and take him off as we do our clothing. Once we get dressed up in Him we are to stay that way intentionally. It means that we are to fill our minds with Christ's mind. our mouths with His words, No matter what it takes. We are to literally put on the very lifestyle of Christ. And allow no life situation whatsoever to entice us to take it off. We are to suit up in His love, allow His thoughts to be our thoughts, walk in our allotted righteousness, which has made us acceptable to God in Christ. And courageously go for the prize that God has set before us, which is the fulfillment of all His promises to us in this age and the one to come. See Romans 13:14: Galatians 3:27.

This requires much suffering. Dying to our old worldly ways is hard. Satan and his bumble bushes seething with thorns is scatter all along our way. Therefore, as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, we must suffered and die to the things of the flesh. Put on the mind of Christ and live according to the things of the Spirit. Hard?! Oh yeah! Painful?! certainly! You can count on it! But he who suffers in the flesh in order to live by the will of God ceases to sin according to 1 Peter 4:1-2, NKJV. Crucifying the flesh and coming alive to the life of Christ in you is the only road to victory over the evil one and the destruction he plans for your life. Crucifixion is a slow, painful death for sure. But this is the only way to take up our cross and follow sure footedly in the footsteps of our precious Lord. (Taking up our cross means taking up the same Spirit filled life that was active in Jesus.) And as the pangs of death to our flesh subside the joy of the Lord is experienced. And fountains of Holy Spirit fullness erupts, fills and flows from our hearts. This is the pathway that God has set before us. Be prepared to suffer along the way. But traveling with the mind of Christ totally active in us, we can be sure we are marching in victory. Where no weapon that satan can form against us will prosper, because God Himself will condemn him. See Isaiah 54:17.

See: Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14. For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5:13: For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. Galatians 5:17. Copyright © Sylvia F. Liani 2009

God is a protecting wall of fire about us. But a consuming fire of the evil that seeks our destruction, which is as thorns, briers and stable before Him.

Sending some hugs your way to wish you a supernaturally God impacting day!
Sylvia :)

SENDING LOVE Pictures, Images and Photos

The greatest of all our gifts is love. Without love we are merely sounding cymbals. Clanging gongs! See 1 Corinthians 13:13. Love is the greatest force in heaven and in earth. Because God is love and has shed abroad in the believer's heart the love that exist in His very own heart. It is by the exercise of this love that we defeat all the evil of this world and its master. As we love God, our Father, as Christ does. And love others as we love ourselves, we become winners; undefeatable spiritual warriors.
Spiritual warfare is a necessary reality in the life of all the redeemed in Christ. satan has been for sure defeated by Jesus' sacrifice. But, at the present time neither he nor the whole passel of his cronies are silent and inactive. Therefore, if it is written in God's word pursue it with the very passion of heaven until the promised results are established. You have been given the greatest gift that heaven has to offer, which is the very Spirit of Love. Through Christ God defected satan and forever sealed his doom. Then He graciously invited all who will, to sit with Christ in the heavenly places and share in that victory. See Ephesians 1:20; 2:6; 3:10.
When this is the stance of our life, we move into the fullness of who we have become in Jesus. This love is the very same love by which He fulfilled the law and the prophets. See Matthew 7:12; 22:40, Galatians 5:14, Romans 13:18; 10:4, Act 3:18 Luke 22:37. And then set us free to be as He is in this world. 1 John 4:17. It is this restoration of who God created us to be that satan fears and is so adamantly opposed to. In this place no weapon he forms or anything he says against us can prosper, because God Himself will condemn him. Isaiah 54:17. Why is this so? It is so because when we fail to exercise the use of God's greater power and authority over him, he is enabled to use his greatest power against us. Remember satan is a defeated foe whom God has given us authority over all of his power. Luke 10:19. However, we must take our place in His kingdom and live out this promise.
Satans greatest weapon against the child of God is to convince us that he has more power than we do in Christ. Or we could say more power than Christ in us. While satan and all his minions are thoroughly and eternally defeated they fight on. And you and I are the targets of their arrows of evil intentions. Therefore, just as these principalities and powers of evil fight for his kingdom to rule; we must fight for the kingdom of our God to rule here as it does in heaven. We accomplish this by way of our becoming spiritual godly lights in the darkness of this world. Lights set a blaze by the Spirit of God, which neither man nor demon can extinguish. Satan is defeated but far from inactive. God's people are winners, but far from living out the full reality of our victory in Christ. If you as a victorious conqueror (and this is who God says you are) fail to go forth and conquer evil in the authority of Jesus name; satan will still hold you captive to destruction and defeat. See Romans 8:37. Never forget that winners actively pursue the prize set before them. Until at last they possess all of the benefits of that prize.
Go now and knock down those walls that stand between you and all the benefits of your redemption in Christ. It is written: As Jesus is so are you in this world. We are the throbbing pain in satan's evil heart. When we live up to whom God created and calls us to be. We are actually not enlisted to defeat satan. Christ did that. We are to take our place as lights through which Jesus shines as He Himself dispels the darkness of evil which fills this world. It is Jesus who enforces and ensures our victory and satan's defeat.

May all that is allowed in heaven fill your life each day. And may all that is not allowed there be forbidden in your life. See Matthew 16:19; 18:19.

Love big, stay strong in the Lord and let the power of His might forever be your stronghold of safety.
