Friend, are you one of the blessed ones?  Are you able to say, "I didn't get it, but now I get it.  God is real and He loves me and I am going to get to know Him!"?

Friend, this is a true blessing.  Praise God for your new knowledge and faith in the One who can do all things for you.  He can help you climb out of the high tree you have ascended and cannot climb back down, to reality.  He can move a mountain from your life if you allow Him.  He can reach down to the deepest depths and gently pull you up to safe ground.  He can simply put His arm around you and tell you He loves you and to follow Him, for a fulfilled life.

Whatever state you have managed to get yourself into, He can extract you from it if you are willing. 

Just give Him the reins and allow Him the freedom to be the Leader and Teacher and Guide of your soul, and He will give to you a Comforter and Counsellor to help your spirit.

Be a willing student.  Be anxious for nothing for He will provide all you need.  Just be the child who holds His hand and allows Him to be a Father.

Yes, Almighty God is your Father.  Your earthly father is a father of the flesh and may or may not have been a good one, but Almighty God the Father is a Good Father to His children.

Friend, today I am reminded that no prayer is spoken in vain.  It will be answered!

Go to the Cross; the feet of Jesus, at the Mercy Seat and cry out, knowing He hears and will bring things together for you according to His Will for you.  Accept His care and concern and Love and go forward in your day knowing your prayer has been heard.

His plans for us are always moving forward.  Nothing is still with the Lord.  He is full of movement, He is creating, He is alive and doing.  Nothing is stagnant in the spiritual world.

He has not forgotten you.  Are you repentant?  Are you focused on Him?  Is He your Love?

Yes?  Be sure then, that He is for you and not against you!

His Mercy is new every morning towards us.  When we wake, we are showered with Mercy and Love.

Walk in it today! Stay connected to Him and the benefits that are showered upon you daily. 

Praise Him and pray whenever you are reminded of Him. 

A simple, "Praise You, Lord!" said in absolute confidence that He is who He says He is, will keep you in His Presence and able to see with spiritual eyes.

Friend, we all have a truth that we call our own.  It is derived from our experiences of and in the world.

Many say ,"My truth, is that there is no God," or "My truth is that I have to rely only on myself." We all have these truths.  I see them plastered all over facebook daily.

Everyone has their own truth even if they don't call it that.  It's just your own personal beliefs gathered from your personal and impersonal relations with the world.

Even if we don't buy into satan's lies it does not mean we are not a captive to him.

Only those who recognize that God's Truth is greater than their own truth have a Way out of captivity of the soul.

Yes, God's Truth is greater.  It must be and is a simple fact to believe in.  God is greater than mere man or animal or plant or earth for He is the Creator.

Someone like Stephen Hawking who is very intelligent and has a great ability to think and explore in his mind has not realized that there is a God who is the Designer/Creator of "Everything That Is."

So how can any of us mere mortals come to know God, if someone like Stephen Hawking has not factored God into his calculations? After all, he is considered a great intellect.

Friend, first comes hearing of the Word of God.  And this you are able to do on this blog. 

Take the plugs from your ears and hear what the Spirit is saying to you.

Stephen Hawking may think that God has abandoned him or that a good God would not have afflicted him so.

But, what if being afflicted in this way is the best way for Stephen Hawking to come to know God?

What if there was no other way for God to get through to Stephen Hawking?

God must be Perfect in all His Ways and I believe that He is and has been to Stephen Hawking.  He just won't take the plugs out or give up his pride or the great knowledge he has acquired and be a humble soul before the Throne of Grace.

I pray that He does, because if Stephen Hawking were to find God and know Jesus, He would have the most amazing testimony.  Many would listen to him and be saved.  Stephen Hawking could have a spiritual treasure trove of jewels and gems to place at the feet of Jesus in Heaven.

Now, he has none.  God is not going to be impressed with his knowledge.  God knows so much more than Stephen Hawking.  Stephen is only discovering what God has put in place.  He is not creating , God is.

God's Truth is greater - meditate on this.

Friend, are you feeling unfulfilled?  Is there something missing in your life?

As you examine where you are do you see a life filled with great things full of worldy success and fun?  Friends who are an encouragement, always there - helpful and caring; a work life that is full and paying well; vacations and travel; enjoyment of all the world has to offer in the form of entertainment.

If you have all this and you have also a Saviour, you are indeed a very blessed person.  But, if you have all these things and do not know the Saviour, then I put it to you, that you do not have everything.

When your time comes to exit this life what do you have?  You cannot take the worldy things with you and you have made no provision for the afterlife.

Compare that with the one who has all you do but also has a Saviour.

Do you see the difference?

Friend, where is your desire?

As for me, I desire the Lord, Father and Spirit.  I have no other need.  They  give me everything I need.

For me, connecting with them is like plugging into an electric socket and becoming fully alive.

I know I am protected by God's Holy angels.  I know the Spirit is with me at all times.  I know I have the love of Jesus and am under the care and kindness of the Father.

It's the perfect relationship.  No one loves me like they do. No one!

They see my flaws and they work with me to correct them.  If I yield, things go well.  If I strain against Them, things go according to the amount of resistance I give.

I know that to believe is to have Life, Love, Mercy, Grace, Protection, Guidance, Teaching, everything I need for an interesting and beautiful journey through this life. 

Friend, I couldn't recommend more highly for you to connect with Jesus the Saviour of mankind and grow in grace and mercy and love.

Bible verse...

John 8:31-32

If you abide in My Word, you are truly my disciples. And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.

Friend, this is an important Word from Jesus our Saviour, Teacher.

He asks us to read the Word and get to know it and practise it's teachings, so that we make it our guide for daily living.

By doing this He tells us that we will know Truth and this Truth is our door to freedom; from the bondage of the world.

As we gain knowledge of God and His Ways and Laws we realize that He is a Good God, full of Justice and Mercy. Our spirit begins to realize that to follow His Way is to have the tools to deal with everyday life.

Continually renewing the mind through the reading of the Bible will give us the peace and comfort we need in times of trouble and it will also give us the knowledge of how to view the world and how to love our fellow man.

We will gain the help that we need from the Holy Spirit because when He wants to reveal something to us in our situation, He will be able to use a Bible verse that we already know, and we will immediately know this to be a Word from God, and that this is the Way for us to move forward.

Words such as "My Grace is sufficient for you" in a time of complete sorrow; "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you" when you are ready to give up. 

There are so many great verses of love, promise, and help, in the Bible that will speak to your immediate need that it is foolish not to begin to read and grow in the knowledge of them, and put them to use in your life.

Friend, they will help you!  It is a guarantee of God to you.  Continue in the reading and study and meditation of God's Word.  Put aside all other reading until you have conformed your mind to God's Word.

When you do this you will see the untruth of other works that consumed your time previously.

God has made it simple in His Holy Word.  He has left out much of the mystery of who He is because we do not need to know it.  He insists we know His Son first.  This is the only way we gain access to Heaven. 

He did not send His Son to suffer so that we could sneak in by the back or side door.  These doors seem to be open and many study all the varied "other ways" to nirvana but unless they call Jesus their Saviour, all that study and belief has been in vain because they have denied God's Son.

Remember, Jesus first then see where the Spirit leads and shows.   

Friend, no-one can see our spiritual life but Almighty God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. We get glimpses of other people's spiritual side but we can never be sure.  Only God knows for sure.

Therefore only He can see the paths we have taken.  Only He can see the Way out.

Have no fear, He is Good and Righteous and will guide you to the Path of Life Eternal.  Allow Him free rein in your soul and spirit to mold and sculpt you, so that you can know Him fully and not be fearful to embark on the Beautiful Journey.

Do not hide from Him any longer.  He sees everything anyway and yet while you are alive here, He has made a Way for you.  He loves you and allowed himself to be a Holy Sacrifice for your sin.  All that is required is to believe in Him, Jesus the Lamb of God.  The Holy Sacrifice.

In 2 Peter 3:18 it says...But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  To Him be the glory both now and for ever.
