Strong Tower

07/05/2015 10:19

Friend, our Lord is a Strong Tower to which we can run for safety or where we can live in safety.

The Strong Tower is not only a safe haven for us, but allows us to grow and run freely within the enclosure that is limitless, yet provides walls which cannot be breached by the enemy.

God's ministering angels are on constant duty to protect us from harm. we can walk freely wherever we go knowing they are our constant protectors, so long as we are constant with our Lord.

Our free will allows us to step out of the covering of the ministering holy angels and walk on our own and those angels, have to let us wander.  We break their power to protect us when we step free from Jesus.

Friend, stay in the Will of God and receive the protection, guidance and love of the Lord. Follow the Path He has laid for you and know that He "has your back."

Live, love and laugh because of the Love of God for you.  You have been set aside to be a son or daughter of the Kingdom, an heir with Christ Jesus!

Just trust Him.

Human Reasoning

07/05/2015 09:18

Friend, we have been given a mind that is capable of reasoning for a purpose!

Animals do a small amount of reasoning, but they generally are predisposed to live and go about their daily business doing as other animals of their type - hunting for food, looking for shelter and water, following the herd.  They have been given certain attributes that allow them to operate in their animal tendencies.

They operate how God has intended and according to what sin has brought into the world.

But we humans have choices to make that are on a higher lifeform wavelength.  We are made so that we can recognize sin.

Though many of us have determined that some sin is not sin and have decided to not believe in a Holy God, in order to blindly follow our own sinful thinking.

All we do is fool our "self." Saying that something is not sinful; when it is to God, is just a denial of the Truth.

Our denial will never make God change His mind as to what sin is. We can get out and parade down the streets with banners and flags and in great numbers all we like, but it will not make sin "right" ever.

We have the freedom to sin as much as we like but God will never accept it. He has told us the Truth and He is not a person who will change His mind because of the "brilliant" ravings of a sinful person.

He is God and He is Truth and He owns the Law and He says what sin is and isn't.

When a human has gone down the path of destruction and still has his reasoning powers, having not sold them all to the evil one, he/she is able to reason that they have hit bottom and need to get out of that thinking in order to live.

This is the point when God's hand is "seen" and we can know that He truly does exist and has not abandoned us.

The same human reasoning that got us to the bottom of the pit will now reason us with the help of the Holy Spirit to the heights of faith and belief in Almighty God.

It's an amazing thing! Truly worthy of full surrender to God - for His Goodness and Mercy.

Reach Up

07/01/2015 12:25

Friend, we can reach up and out to God at any time.  When a heart really needs or wants God, He is available!

This is the beauty of our God.  He is not insincere to tell us one thing and do another.

Do you need saving?  Tell Him.  He will save you. Just say "Yes."

Ready?  He is available 24/7, waiting for you to realize that you need Him.

Behind the scenes of your life, He is at work trying to get you to notice Him, to know that He is Life itself.

He is constantly showing all mankind that He is Everything That Is, the Great I AM.

Why do we turn our heads, and not want to know about Him? We are wilful to try things our way! We don't want to be sheep in the pasture of God.  We want to be leaders and overseers of others. 

God does allow this for us, to show us that it is not all it's cracked up to be - without Him as the head of it. 

For some it is just to be head of the house where we wreak havoc with our families to show our superiority of intelligence, physicality, talent, giftedness etc.

Ask yourself if you are using any talent or gift for a purpose less than Godly goodness.  Perhaps you see you have used selfishness, greed, laziness; yet you have fooled yourself only - because others see the Truth.

Time to turn to God and repent.  His hand is outstretched towards you.  Say "Yes, Father, I am a sinner. Save me," and He will grab hold of your hand and you will be saved.

Build Your Hope On The Rock Of Ages

07/01/2015 08:55

Friend, in the Book of Luke we hear that God says to hear His sayings and do them, and we will be like people who built their homes on the Rock which is the best foundation.

In Him is our Hope and in Him must we lay all our Hope.  None other, especially not what the world offers us.

He wants us to weigh up whatever befalls us or is presented to us as an opportunity, against the word of God that is Truth.

All other ways will lead to our doom, downfall and destruction - in both the world and spiritually.

Look now to see if you have built anything in your life on anything other than God's Word.  If so, begin to set about changing those belief systems, and ways of being, to line up with what God says is Truth.

Panic, anxiety, fear and anger, these are the hallmarks of a life lived without the Truth of God's Word as the foundation to your life.

Ask God to show you where you have made bad choices and mistakes in all aspects of your life and be happy to make the changes that you know to be Truth because they line up with His Word.

Let the Peace of God rule your heart and mind and know that He, the Great Almighty, All Powerful God of everything that is, loves you and will guide you into a life that is full and rewarding.

Allow Him to lead the Way.  You no longer have to find your own way and be afraid.

The Gift Of Peace

06/30/2015 12:28

Friend, receive the Gift of Peace that is offered by the Father. 

Be at peace in your inner being by knowing the Father loved you enough to send His Son to die as a Sacrifice for your sins (that would keep you from the Kingdom, your rightful place).

When sin entered the world it was given dominion over the earth and air.  God has allowed sin this privilege in His Divine Wisdom.  There is a bigger dimension than this world that the Father owns, and His Law governs the whole.  For His Own Purposes and Law, evil has entered this world - and we are born into it.

However, that Law required a Sacrifice if there was to be a Way for those; who contemplate and see that there must be One True God, to be reunited with Him and allowed into the Kingdom.

The only answer ( Law) was for God to pay the Sacrifice Himself.  And He did. 

Now it is just up to those of us who do seek after Goodness and Mercy to turn to God and accept His Son as Saviour. When we do this we cancel the hold that sin has over us, and we become part of God's Kingdom of Peace and Love and Truth and Light and we are guaranteed a home in Heaven when we accept the Gift of Peace and Life Eternal.

But, friend, as we continue living on this earth, we will have trials and tribulations that God will allow and that He will give us the tools to overcome.  It is required for us to grow spiritually just as we grow and age in the flesh.

God desires that we do not stagnate in a spiritual cocoon. He asks us to follow Him, to trust Him and love Him as He daily helps us to grow strong in faith.

There is much to know and learn about God and the Kingdom. Start your journey today and be free from the pull of worldly things.

Look Heavenward and give God His rightful place in your heart.

Saved by Grace

06/29/2015 10:18

Friend, today, look inward.

Ask, "Am I saved?"

If you cannot answer in the affirmative with conviction then your soul is in danger of being claimed by evil for eternity.

The Lord asks that we be sure we are "saved."  He is able to discern the intent and motives of our heart and at the judgement we will know that we allowed our "self" to be fooled, if we have not accepted Jesus as our Saviour.

The days are dangerous that we live in.  Society says many things are okay for us to do and be but God's Word is the Law by which we are judged.

When we create belief systems or add to God's Word that which He has not intended, we have let sin be our guide. It is a delicate balance filled with difficult choices, to discern Truth.

First, the Lord says we are all sinners.  Not some of us, but all!

Next we should look at how the Lord sees us within the sinful world, if we are all sinners!

He says, some are saved sinners and some are not. Some are goats and some are His sheep. Some are covered by His Blood Sacrifice and some are not.

The Cross was what God the Father used to make a Way for the sinner who hungered for Truth.

Only a Pure and Holy Sacrifice could pay the price that would satisfy the Pure and Holy Law of God.

There was no created being in Heaven that would/could step forward to pay the price for all the sins of the world. But, the Son of God, Pure and Holy Jesus, said He would. And the Father agreed - because He loves us - that His Son who is Himself God, so therefore, God would fulfill the new Law for a sinful people to have a Saviour who would be the Sacrifice that God could accept.

It is a Free Gift to us who will accept the Son as Saviour and through this acceptance, begin a new life that is focused on pleasing the One who died for our sins, and obeying His Word which is full of Truth.

Yes, friend, one must be able to say to anyone, "I am a sinner saved by the Grace of God who sent His Son to die for my sins so I could call Heaven my home."

Flee The Darkness

06/26/2015 12:16

Friend, in Romans 13:12 it says...Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of Light.

The Holy Spirit speaks to our spirit here and asks us to deny the works of evil and put on Heavenly armor, of Light.

When we walk in the Light we have communion with our Lord and, He is the Ultimate Victor!  He has overcome evil and it is just using up what little time it has left to gather more conscripts to evil.

Decide today to wear the armor of Heaven.  Join God's army and be filled with Light.

Evil or the darkness will never win.  It seems to the unbeliever that evil is winning and many want to be on the winning team, but God who is Holy, is still in charge and the workings of the universes are under His total control and He is Good and Powerful and His Law is the Ultimate Law.  He wins.

The Light of Jesus is a healing energy that fills the soul and spirit with peace.  Anxiety cannot live there. Fear is overcome. Anger dissipates.  His Light banishes evil and searches out the hiding places in our souls where evil lurks and breeds.

Jesus said, "I Am the Light of the world." Believe this with all your heart. And follow after Him. Where He leads, walk fearlessly and humbly seek to know Him.  Be teachable.

Deny evil a place in your soul and let the Light of Jesus shine in and through you always.
