High Tower

04/18/2016 18:41

Friend, do you agree that the Lord is your High Tower?

King David realized that He is the High Tower that he (king David) could go to and be safe from his adversaries.

In the High Tower we can rest and gather our thoughts; listen to the Lord's guidance; and be comforted and regroup.

It is in the High Tower that we get new ideas for all kinds of issues, things and situations that will help us move forward in line with the Will of God.

When something is blocking you or you need to solve something, the Lord is waiting for you to come into the High Tower so that your answer can be revealed to you.

King David obviously experienced this.

His words for our Wonderful and Amazing Lord Jesus are as follows: my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, my God, my Stronghold, my Refuge, my Shield, my Salvation, my High Tower.

God is waiting to be these things for you as well.

He has said in His Word, through His servant, king David, that He is these Personifications for us!

He wants us to think of Him in this way.

We don't need separate mini gods to be these things for us as in other man made religions.

He is our All in All. Name above All Names. Almighty God.

Meditation Verse 2 Corinthians 7:1

04/18/2016 11:20
Meditation  Verse       
 
Scripture.  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.  2 Corinthians 7:1  KJV
 
Paul advises us once again that we have many promises from our Lord; not the least of those, is the promise of eternal life through Christ.
 
The Spirit places a love for Christ in us that just wants to get rid of all the darkness in our lives. 
 
If you have this desire then you truly are saved and born again!
 
We suddenly see that things we said or did, or watched or read are repulsive. 
 
We see the unholiness of it all, and we are torn between justifying that it is okay to partake on a light level, and wanting to get it out of our lives.
 
Paul through the Holy Spirit is saying to us to cleanse "all" filthiness of the flesh and spirit from our lives.  In doing so, we begin to become perfected in Christ. 
 
This is what the Father wants from us, active participation in the life of Christ.
 
His death and resurrection brought in new promises for those who would believe, even being non-Jew.
 
Meditate on how the non-Jew has benefited through the birth, death and resurrection of the Son of God.
 
It is the New Way. God made another Way for the non-Jew!
 
Before Christ's death and resurrection, the non-Jew's only hope, was to convert to the Jewish faith and adhere to the Law.  
 
Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your holiness, and the New Law for all non-Jews to partake in the Joys of Your Kingdom. Holy Spirit, help me to turn from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. Fill me with the desire to please my Father and follow the teachings of Jesus through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the reading of God's Holy Word.  Amen.

Finding God

04/17/2016 10:31

Friend, the most important thing we can do in life is to find God.

It is the sole responsibility for our soul.

When we find Him, we can begin the real journey for our life.

So many of us put this responsibility off.

We all know inwardly this is our responsibility, but we just want to have "fun" like that old song says.

God says, that we should seek Him first and then the fun can begin.

The Holy Spirit urges us to seek God, to be searchers who actively are open to seeing Him in the world and it's surroundings.

But friend, beware of the many side roads that meander down lovely pathways that seek to entice you away from finding God.

Many are those which are filled with believable stories and myths whose authors are native peoples who have been influenced by the evil forces at work in the world. Ancient, tribal, old cultures, these should not influence you just because of the amount of time they have been around.

God is and was from eternity back to eternity forward, Kingdom without end.

He is in control. He allows evil to have it's day, but there is nothing they can do about their demise. It will happen when God gives the signal. 

I wouldn't want to be among them when their sentence is carried out. The angst will be so heavy.

They will have had a long run at being "numero uno" in their own eyes. They will have had all the fanciest "things" the world could offer. They will have had "power" and carte blanche to do as they willed.

But, possessionns will mean nothing then.

Power will be at zero.

No-one will worship them.

The better choice for your soul is to be found by God to have beleived in His Son and followed after the teaching and guidance of the Holy Spirit who has been left here in this world for the searchers and seekers after Wisdom, Love, Truth and Beauty.

Through the Spirit we find God. He is the One who leads us into a relationship with the Son and He is the One who comforts us along the Way.

Call out to God and the Spirit answers and takes your spirit and works wonders in your life.

Stay in complete communication with the Holy Spirit all day and every day and you will see that He is the One who can do all things to make a Way where there seemed to be no way.

Make the choice today to be a follower of Jesus and you will look back one day and see that you have a testimony but at the time, you did not know it was going to be a testimony. It may have seemed difficult but because you kept on believing, your life was transformed.

Your Heart's Song

04/15/2016 10:44

Friend, what is your heart's song?

Are you focused on the world and all it offers or are you turned towards God and all He has to offer?

Where you place your treasure, this is where your heart is.

When the Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for your sin and made a Way for you to have Eternal Life in the Glorious Kingdom, looks upon your heart; what does He find?

Will He find a soul who acknowledges His Kingship or will He find a soul who denies Him in every way; even to the point of deriding others who do know Him?

Are you one of the souls who actively hate anything that even "smells" a tiny bit like "religion"?

Have you got it all figured out? There is no God. Jesus was just a man who died and did not resurrect. Religious people are dummies. Man has to fend for himself. Get what you can out of  life.

God says to you, " The fool has said in his heart that there is no God!"

But, God,has not given up on you. He sees the reasons you have for unbelief. He knows the Way forward for you and is always knocking at your heart's door in the form of what will enlighten or encourage you to be open to Who He Is.

He will not give up on you until your last breath.

He uses believers to do this in many instances.

It may simply be a minister of the Good News on television late one night when you are wondering about things.

It could be the view from a high place that reminds you how small and insignificant you really are.

Maybe it's looking at your newborn and thinking about the miracle of birth.

He wants you to learn of Him. His Character, His Attributes, His Power, His Love.

When you do, your heart will sing a new song.

You will find Truth and a Peace and Joy in life that you always poked fun of.

Friend, if this is you then keep a softer heart and be open to hear and see what God wants for you.

Meditation Verse Hebrews 11:6

04/14/2016 10:59
 
 
Meditation  Verse   
 
Scripture.  But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  Hebrews 11:6
 
Faith in God is essential to the Christian life. 
 
It is by faith that God connects with us.
 
This is a great mystery to the unbeliever. 
 
But, the believer knows through the work that is done in Him by the Holy Spirit, that there are mysteries of God. The believer is given a heart to seek and find Who God is. A believer does not stand on principle saying, "I cannot see God face to face, therefore there can be no God."
 
The believer says, "I have had an encounter with Love and it is full of Truth and Beauty, and is All Powerful. I want Love to consume me and make me into Love's image. I am willing because Love can be trusted to deal with my soul justly, according to my faith. It is a Mystery that I can agree to not know all about, and I am at peace with that."
 
Let your guard down daily and be open to listen for the whisperings of the Spirit and for the knocking on the door of your heart by your Saviour. 
 
Be a diligent seeker of God, He will reward you with the Peace that passes understanding. Give Him the place of honour in your heart. Be in touch with Him always, as a True Friend who is available every second of your day or night. He sees your future as no other and knows the way for you to go forward. He has a Plan for your life and will guide you into Truth and Love.
 
His Word says that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
 
Just be humbly willing in your heart, mind and body and see what He will do.
 
Prayer

Lord, thank You for calling me, and waiting for me to open the door of my heart. I accept You into my life and ask You to help me to seek more of who You are. I desire to know You and ask to be taught all about You and the Kingdom of God according to Your Will, not mine. In Jesus's Name,  Amen

According To Your Faith

04/13/2016 16:35

Friend, how is your faith in God?

Can it be measured? Non existent, empty, low, medium, medium high, or full?

Remember that faith is believing, and does not have to include seeing.

We walk by faith, not by sight.  

Like children! From youngsters they do not know what to expect. All is new to them so they walk by faith in all they do.

They trust.

Jesus wants us to be like these little children. Trusting and believing in Him and His Word.

He keeps it simple for us. We do not have to know where the stars are aligned, or what gods or animals are better than another for any specific need.

No, it's just Him and His Word.

And, His Word says "According to your faith, be it unto you."

So it's important to grow spiritually in faith with the heart, and from there the mind will begin to help the body members to do the Righteous thing; and all things will be given according to your faith, and God's Will, to you.

Pray daily for this mind and heart combination that you may please the Lord with a big and full faith as like a little child.

He loves you and this is a Gift from God; Faith as like a little child.

Learn of Him through the reading of His Words in the New Testament and you will find that Truth will jump out at you.

Grab it and place it in your heart. Speak the Words and secure them like and anchor for your soul.

Colossians 3:1-16

04/12/2016 10:57

 

Colossians 3;1-16

If ye then be risen with Christ, (born again of the Spirit), seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in Glory.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornification, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

For which things sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath,malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him:

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Forebearing one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

And above all these things put on Charity, which is the Bond of Perfectness.

And let the Peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye also are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you so richly and in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
