God Wants Us

05/05/2016 20:47

Friend, be assured that Holy God All Powerful and full of Love and Truth is after your soul.

He came to this earth, in the form of a baby.

He wore the flesh as we do. He experienced our pain and heartache.

It was always His to have the worst of mankind put upon Him.

In doing so, He has shown us that we can be overcomers and endure to the end with faith in God, as He did with His Father.

He was a blessing to many. He healed. He taught, He comforted. He loved.

We will see in the afterlife all that He has done for us throughout our lives.

We will also see how we opposed Him at every turn, how we would not deny ourselves something we knew in our spirit was not righteous or pleasing to the Father.

If Jesus had abandoned us, we would not have made it to Heaven.

If He had not gone to the Cross, we would not have had a Saviour.

We would have been under The Law The Ten Commandments.

Who could have made it to Heaven?

There is none righteous, no, not one, says the Lord.

We are in need of a Saviour who will rescue us from the Law.

His Name is Jesus. He did it to the Father's Pleasure.

All who understand, may step forward and receive forgiveness and everlasting life with the Son.

Meditation 1 Peter 3:12 Verse

05/03/2016 22:47
Meditation
 
Scripture.  For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.  1 Peter 3:12 KJV
 
The Holy Spirit is speaking words of comfort to us the righteous believers, to assure us that Jesus has his eyes on us, to watch over us, and listen and answer our prayers.
 
To know that the Lord's face is turned from the evil people of this world is to know that their desire to do us harm will be thwarted - unless for His grand purpose for our life, it is His will to allow something that will grow us spiritually for His good.
 
That trial or test will be closely monitoried by the Spirit and we will be victorious over it when we walk closely with our Saviour.
 
When a trial comes, we should immediately go to Him in prayer and supplication. He will walk us through the fiery furnace; to come out at the other end, a more stable Christian and one who can minister to others with Godly strength, giving Him all the Glory, knowing only in Him, did we make it through.
 
It is possible to make it through trials without Jesus but the difference is that the growth is only in the flesh, not spiritual.  It has no eternal value. 
 
That type of overcoming while seeming victorious to the world is like chaff that gets blown away by the wind, or burned  to become ashes. And the spirit of a man does not gain anything.
 
Prayer
Lord, thank You that your eyes are upon me and Your ears are open to my prayers.  Help me to walk closely with you day by day so when the trials come, I will be already looking to you and be able to trust in You. I offer up praise for your Goodness and the Love and care you have for me as your child. Help me to stay connected to you all day every day so that I too, like all the saints will be an overcomer of sin. Amen.

Hardness Must Go

05/03/2016 12:55

Friend, do you feel the Lord is allowing circumstances to break the hardness of your heart?

When you can recognize that the hardness of your heart is not completely gone, you are on the road to fullness in Jesus.

He takes us as we are, dirty, filthy, undesirable, unkind, unclean, undeserving, and with our permission; believing in Him, having faith; He begins to chip off areas of our heart, that we think we need to keep us grounded, or will protect us.

God wants us to be vulnerable before Him and trust Him. He will never harm His loved ones.

He desires we recognize our faults and allow Him to cleanly remove the offending bits, with His surgical precision.

Throughout our life, damage from the life we have lived, sometimes through no fault of our own, sometimes, wilfuly rebelling against Him, has caused great scars and sores to develop on our heart.

Jesus sees them and knows which ones to remove first so the others will be easier and easier to remove.

Trust Him to do a good work in your soul and spirit. He knows the way for you to go. He understands the hopelessness that comes with a hardened heart.

On the outside we are all bravado and positive but inwardlly we know we are a mess.  He is the Great Healer and He will, with our permisssion, pare away the offending bits that keep us from havng a full life of victory over our sin, and love in our hearts that is pure for our fellow sourjourning souls.

Just allow Him to be the keeper of your soul and when He cuts away the offending part, do not cry over it, but rejoice!

Yes, friend, the hardness must go. We must be open and vulnerable and contrite and repentant and humble before God.

He actually loves us this way. That is the soul He responds to favourably.

False Wisdom

04/27/2016 23:13

Friend, only Pure, Holy Wisdom should be our desire.

Seek it with all your heart. a pure heart, one that is humbled before God; desiring only to know His Ways and Will.

All humans think they have all the answers. 

We read something, stumble upon something the devil has illuminated on the path we are travelling down, and think we have found "wisdom", but we should test it against God's Holy Word, to see if in fact, it is God's Way and not just our own way that we choose to believe in. 

It could be, the belief that could become the destruction of our soul, before we are aware of the damage done; spending many years following a demonic force; dressed as light and life and peace and goodwill, not realizing how damaging to our soul it will be.

Evil is very deceitful. It has many religions where good people are enslaved thinking they will be going to Heaven. But, always it is our own choice that has kept us there. We have believed in the goodness and peace message but without the Truth. Sadly, some call themselves Christian.

Many are the stories we hear in the local and international news of men and women who believe they are "Jesus Christ" or the "New World Leader" or various other "important leaders or teachers" that humans have been waiting for and who will help us.

God says to test those spirits to see if they are of Him.

We can test them when we know His Word. He has put all we need to "test and know" within His Word.

Tonight on television there was an episode that pitted two sets of people against each other. One side were Christians who did not want to be involved with psychics or taro card readings because of their Christian faith.  The other side were lovely good people who just believed everything was okay to do - there is no wrong way to live.

But God warns us in His Word, against interacting with mediums and seers because these types of persons mostly are from the dark side and are governed by demonic forces who are still able to interact with us through these seers; and who use us, to extract our hard earned wages through giving us information of things that have happened ( to convince or "prove" to us their knowledge) which is something these deceiving evil spirits know about, being in the spiritual realm.

It is nothing new for them to know about us.

They witness us going about our daily business; we do speak and chatter about everything to each other, so giving them plenty of knowledge about us, that they can use to fool us into thinking this person in front of us a "psychic" or card reader is "talented/has a gift" or is, "knowing". 

People who believe in these spirits will receive false wisdom. Information to convince us they are "good" spirits will be correct, but all other guidance will be to lead you away from God.

That is their mission statement. Evil spirits must lead us astray; into their own ways. They work on us so that we follow them into gloom and doom. How they'll laugh when you meet up with them after your spirit leaves your flesh body at death!

You'll know you were a fool, a puppet of satan.

But you can be a child of the Living God now, and have a personal relationship with Jesus through the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Choose wisely, my friend.

Willing To Receive

04/27/2016 10:32

Friend, are you fully abandoned to receive from the Lord what He has for you today?

Or are you apprehensive that to do so, would mean God desires something from you, that you cannot let go of, just now?

Would the changes He may require, be an impediment to your current lifestyle?

It is true that we must be willing to receive first, if we expect to see God move in our lives.

Big faith and belief receives the big miracles and gifts, and small faith receives according to their faith in who God is.

Psalm 127:1-2 

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrow - because it is He who gives His beloved sleep.        

Friend, God is watching and caring for you. He knows what your needs are.

Speak to Him of your concerns.

Learn of Him by reading His Word. You will find Him to be trustworthy and full of Love for you.

Yes, He requires a repentant and humble heart to do great things for you.

Trust Him.

Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears, reap in Joy.

It's okay to be stripped of all your worldly ways and things.

God is the God of Wonders.

Allow Him to close doors, windows and paths and trust Him to open new ways for you.

Be an obedient child and walk on the new path in glorious faith in Him who cares for you.

Be willing to receive His Best, and be thankful.

Tested In The Fire

04/22/2016 12:02

Friend, daily we are tested, wouldn't you agree?

Do you not see and feel the fire from time to time?

Be grateful! Your faith is found worthy to be tested!

Truly, none of us are worthy to be called sons and daughters of God.

God's Word tells us that it is not our worthiness that gives us access to Him, but it is by His Grace we are saved.

His Great Grace and Mercy are what holds this world together.

Without Grace and Mercy, evil would reign supreme.

But with His Grace and Mercy, evil cannot reign in full. It will always be tempered by God's Grace for those who have even the smallest desire to know Goodness.

We struggle against the powers of evil in this world, and we can be victorious spiritually even while we live and are singed by the evil army.

Allow Him to redeem you and remove the twisted perversions and heal you with the healing balm of Goodness and Mercy; wrap you in His arms of Love and Beauty; teach you of His Truth and Wisdom.

Stretch your faith to believe in the Goodness of God wholly, and without fear.

Fear what evil can and will do to you; lie, cheat and steal to but name a few of it's tools for the plundering of your soul.

Be a brave soul and let the Lord show you of His Mighty and Victorious Ways as you negoiate through the evil alleyways of life.

He will be with you in the fire when you are fully abandoned to His Will for you.

1 John Chapter 4

04/19/2016 21:00

Beloved, believe not every spirit , but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby know ye the spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Love.

In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His Love is perfected in us.

Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
 
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in Him and He in God.
 
And we have known and believed the Love that God hath to us. God is Love; and he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
 
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of Judgement: because as He is, so are we in this world.
 
There is no fear in love; but Perfect Love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love
 
We loved Him because He first loved us.
 
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
 
And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God loveth his brother also.
