Friend, today is a new day. Let's expect to be surrounded by God's Love and Personal Care of us.

Let's allow the small miracles of the day to happen. Let's not put up a barrier that will deter Him.

What would that barrier be?

It's lack of faith in Him and what He has done and is going to do for us.

Just believe! It is a prerequisite to receiving all the Good that He has in store for us. 

Put aside all your own expectations and decide to receive all He has for you.

Friend, it is the better Plan and Way for you.

The Lord Jesus knows how to proceed and what to do so that you will be placed to receive all He has for you.

When we step in with our own ideas and desire something that He is willing to give us (In His Will) we change what He has planned for us and His Way gets delayed as we forge ahead with our own desires being paramount.

Perhaps He wants to eliminate something from our lives that He knows will not amount to much, or will cause us harm down the road we have chosen. Don't cling on to that.

Wouldn't it be wise to allow Him to lead us out of the mirey clay we are in, to solid ground and a new Path that will fulfill us even more than the worldly path we chose?

He led the Israelites out of Egypt and parted the Red Sea for them and still many complained.

Don't be that complainer. Stop and look inward to see His Provision for you.

Rejoice that He has a Way planned for you and decide today to step onto that Path. Here you will find fulfillment beyond what you knew you could have.

We're not all called to high and lofty positions in the world but we are all called to Eternal Life and the Lord wants us all to be highly qualified so that we can help others along the Way when He places us in their lives, if even for just a minute.

Never again think of what ugliness might befall you but think of His Grace and Mercy which are yours new every morning and all throughout the day.

Stay under the Protection of the King and His army of Holy Angles who await His Command to keep you from harm.

Expect Goodness from Jesus and rejoice in it, friend!

Friend, if you feel depressed please know that Holy God loves you!

We all desire that others love us and find us worthy to be loved, but God's Word tells us that we are all infected with evil and this being Truth, we must understand that no other human can love us in the way our soul cries out for.

Some of us find true love and enjoy it's rewards but even if we asked those people if they felt loved 100 per cent of the time we would find that they all would say, "No. But it is enough that I feel truly loved."

The Truth is that we are incapable of loving another in the way their soul longs for. This is because God has created us so that only He can fulfill us 100 per cent.

Ah hah! He made us this way! So confront the depressed feeling that tells you "You are not loved, not lovable, not worthy."

Speak to the accusation in this way, "God loves me! The Most Perfect and Holy God of All Things, loves me! He says I am worthy to be loved! He died for me on the Cross to fulfill the Father's Plan for my Redemption. Praise God, Hallelujah! I believe!"

In His eyes you are not unworthy. Perhaps you are a sinner, but He died so those sins could be forgiven. You just have to accept that what He did is sufficient for the Father's Love for you to be Pure.

Other people's judgements of you are not at all interesting to God. He sees you in a different Light. He knows that when you turn to Him and reciprocate that love, you will listen to Him and be able to discern how to turn your life around so that you will heal and be filled with His Spirit where depression cannot live.

It may be a short journey for you to finally feel whole, but that is the direction God will take you in when you place all your trust and love in Him.

Friend, are you one who will go to great lengths to justify the way you have made for yourself; the sinfilled bog you are mired in?

Without the Holy Spirit released freely in your soul and spirit you will never see your own sin for what it is. An abomination to God.

Many of us get caught in sexual sin.

We love to justify own own brand of sexuality. The hardest sin for humans to admit is immorality, before God.

We want to believe that all we  believe about human ardour is allowed, perhaps not what others indulge in, but our own lusts and abberrations, are ok!

How ridiculous to Holy God! 

Today we are bombarded by television ads, magazines, movies, and pictures that continuously push the boundaries open to expose more and more what satan knows will enslave us into a bondage that is difficult to escape.

Satan has always used images and words to do this ( plenty of evidence in history) but today he has new mediums to work in and many are there, of our brothers and sisters who blindly do his bidding, getting rich off his generosity.

It's all a trap.

God asks us to listen to Him. He does not deny us satisfaction in this area of our life but He has designed a way for us in this area that will keep us clean before Him, untainted by satanic sin.

We must know Jesus personally, and we must have the Spirit in us.

The Spirit's Holy oil helps all the moving parts within us to be free to move. Without Him, we are unbelievers or just creaky old barely alive in Christ, vessels. 

We read so much information when seeking and searching for Truth, that is so obviously not filled with the Spirit that it is just "mumbo jumbo." Desperate attempts to convince oneself and others that the path they have chosen is "historically correct" therefore leads to the ultimate afterlife experience.

Those souls are lacking true knowledge. Deluded, deceived and it will be proved to them, either by the Holy Spirit whilst alive or by the Father in the afterlife.

Personally, I would not wait until the afterlife to find out I may be wrong.

Best to want the Truth now and plough on, taking the new Path to search and seek for Truth for myself with the Holy Ghost's help, not some satanic demon disguised as a guru.

Let this be a warning to every soul who is so self righteous in their beliefs because of what has shaped their past, that when they deny Truth, it is recorded, duly noted that the Son of God was never given the place of Highest Honour. 

No, better to leave the past at the foot of the Cross, ask for the Spirit's help to find the Truth, and then be available for the journey. Humble and ready to know Jesus and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

What better witness for God than a repentant sinner who is saved by Grace and Mercy and fully embraces the Lordship of Jesus over their lives because they have a personal relationship with Him.

Jesus is your Friend!

Yes, He desires to have a friendly relationship with you. He is not a friend as the world counts a friend. He is a Friend who loves and cares and helps and is always there, who gives the best advice, who sees ahead the dangers that await you, and can guide you on the Righteous Path that leads to closer fellowship with Him and Everlasting Life for you.

He will never leave you, even though you may leave Him, forget about Him, forsake Him in many ways!

Jesus will not help you be a thief, or commit any sinful deed and will remind you of sinful thinking that is not tolerated, but He will rejoice with you in times of joy and happiness, and will fill you with Love and Peace and Truth, Wisdom, and a sound mind.

Are you ready for those things, friend?

Just turn to Jesus and ask Him to be your Friend. He is the all-weather Friend. He is available to you at all times. He is ever watchful over you. He will alert you to troubles that lie ahead.

Don't worry, be happy! He will soothe your angst, your restlessness and angers at the injustices that have been heaped upon you.

Just be childlike in your faith and believe in Him. He is God and will go before you as a Mighty Warrior to slay the demons that have you bound. Just allow Him to do what is His Will for you and walk in His footsteps from the darkness into the Light of Christ.

Friend, God wants committed strong believers but He calls us first as small children asking us to have a child-like faith.

Children are very open and innocent and look to adults as the sustainer and nourisher and soother of all their needs. They fully believe that we will supply everything they need to be alive.

They trust fully ( until we break their trust ) that we will supply love, food, warmth, shelter, entertainment etc.

They have happy hearts, they sing and dance in the moment, assume that everyone loves them, that nothing is impossible for them.

This is how God wants us to look to Him. Our faith needs to be child-like.

He asks us to believe that He is the One who Loves us and will provide all our needs. And like any good parent, He will show us when we have stepped over a boundary that will bring us harm if we continue down that path.

Become a trusting child of Almighty God! The benefits are so fulfilling to our souls.

Let  your answers always be "Yes, Father."  

When you notice that He convicts you of a sinful thought, perhaps critical of others, immoral, selfish - you will know it if you're listening with a child-like spirit, immediately your response should be "Yes, Father. Help me to cleanse that from my thinking."

Jesus told the disciples in Mathew 3:3 Except you become as little children you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Worldy ways had become the norm for them. Masculine ego was a part of their personas. They had to make livings to survive and their days would be filled with upmanship.

Jesus asked them to humble themselves to Him and not use these worldy ways in their faith with Him.

He knows we have to live in the world but He asks us to have a child-like faith in Him.

Friend, we must ask ourselves the hard questions about our mortality.

I have found that we like to put them off. We try to hide from God and we also while denying that He exists, rail at Him because of our circumstances!

We can't have it both ways!

He either exists to us or He doesn't.

It's a fact our bodies come from the womb and our bodies cease to live at some time; we die.

It's a fact that while we live, we think.

Our thoughts cover all kinds of subjects. Not only food, shelter, danger as we perceive the animals doing.

No, our mind is capable of much more complicated thought processes.

But there is not Purity in our thoughts. They are definetly tainted with impurity; anger, revenge, greed, malice, pride. We have unbalanced egos.

WHY? That is a big and hard question that we must ponder.

Why are we born only to die like the natural world when we are at the top of the food chain?

Why must everything die?

Are we just evolving like evolutionist thinking proclaims?

Why do we not see the changes happening?  When did evolution stop? What era or year was evolution ground to a halt? When did it know that man was now "ready" just to be "man" and no more evolutionary growth was needed?

Why do we find everything has an innate mathematical part to it? What is that all about?

Why are there Laws of the universes that cannot be broken, but must be accomodated by us? Those Laws control us, not we them!

Why is this world the only and perfect place for us to live ( even though we spend billions on trying to find another world)?

Why do our finest minds in the scientific communities know they are only discovering what is already in place; that they are not discovering something new, but just another layer of something very Perfect that already exists and has existed for a very long time?

Are these things worth thinking about, for you? Do these questions simmer at the back of your consciousness while you go about living?

This is the Spirit helping your spirit to seek answers.

Have you embarked on a course to find the answers and believe you have found something that gives you all the answers?

As a guide to examining the present course your life is taking you should find a starting point from which to peel back the layers.

The Holy Bible is a great foundational work that a person can use to seek the perfection of the layers of belief we have stored up within our psyche.

It can be the Sounding Board that you bounce your thoughts and ideas off while investigating what you see as a truth yet one that is a bit leaky, not fully formed, having no end or beginning, recognizing immorality in it that cannot be Holy, not feeling absolute, requiring too big a leap of faith, giving no guaratees. 

Many are the souls who have done this and have found the One True Way and have that guarantee of Life Eternal with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Friend, ask yourself the hard questions and let the Holy Bible be your source of information.
