Examine Yourself

06/23/2015 09:06

Friend, is the evil one dancing with delight at your expense?

Are you the soul who is easily led into the clutches of evil?

Have you found a home with evil? Many do. Millions of souls have walked through the "door" to hell and now reside in complete terror - surrendered to evil thinking, evil intent to others - even while alive.

Their souls no longer their own they think.  But God, has made a Way for them to return to Him. 

There is no neutral ground. Not having chosen Jesus as Saviour, relegates a soul to the clutches of satan. Living for self is the first level in the evil world.  This level allows the soul to be deceived into thinking it is in charge of itself and it has not done anything sinful to keep it from going to Heaven.

Satan is happy for that soul to stay there and resist  his efforts to further drag it down into a deep relationship with him.  Slowly and surely he will though unless the soul stops and examines itself.

God allows satan to do his work and in those trials we have the God given right to say "No, no more!"

We can decide that we no longer want to be on that path leading to our doom.

If you recognize this is happening to you and you no longer want to be caught for evil purposes, then repent of your past choices and tell God you now see Him as Holy and you want to get to know Him and be placed on the Path of Righteousness.

The Father sent His Son, Jesus to die for your sins, to make a Way where you can be reunited with the Father and have a Friend for this life and the Life to come.  Now is the time to believe.  Jesus loves you, He went to the cross for you.  Your past can be forgiven.  His Blood was shed as a Sacrifice for you.  He was whipped for your transgressions and punished for your sins. A sinless man was sorely punished for you to have Life Eternal.  It is the Gift of all gifts.  Such Love for one so undeserving, don't you think?

The Father had to look away when His Son was on the Cross.  But there was Joy Everlasting in Heaven when the Son rose to Heaven and the Father's Will and Law was complete.

Sinners had a Way. Satan had been outsmarted. Sinners had a choice. Gentiles had a Way. Joy, Joy, Joy!

Cut Some Ties

06/23/2015 08:37

Friend, are you dogged by anger and hate towards others?  Do you see all their faults? 

The world today is full of "personal judgements" towards others.  Television shows, especially the reality type are based on showing up "other people's" flaws while supposed friends plot to "change" them.

God asks us to direct those thoughts towards ourselves.  Look inward He says and open your heart and mind to examine your own heart and the thoughts and intents of your soul and spirit.

We carry so many burdens with us through life and it is good to stop and examine each section of our life.  We have our work life, our family life, our personal inner life, our worldly life.  Each of these has levels that need to be looked at closely also.

Where we find anger and hate and untruth we should decide to cut the ties to these and let go and let God decide the fate of those particular ties that we have decided to let loose into the ether.

Cultivate calmness and peace and Godly love in those places where you have cut off the tie that bound you to the hate, anger, bitterness and untruths.

Make this a daily practise and if necessary, practise throughout the day and give it to God in prayer so that the evil demons who hold the ties that bind you will know that you are bound and determined to let go of those evil ties that have squeezed you dry for some time, even to the point of causing mental and physical distress.

Do not return to those thoughts and feelings.  Recognize the new way in which they are presented to you by evil and deny them a place in your heart and mind.

Be the child of God that He desires and follow the Path to Eternal Life!

Bible Verse - Hebrews 4:12-16

06/22/2015 15:13

Hebrews 4:12-16

For the Word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.  And there is not a creation that is not manifest to His sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of Him with whom we have an accounting.

Seeing therefore that we have a Great High Priest who has passed through the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold onto our confessing of Him.  For we have as High Priest not one who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who HAS been tested in ALL respects like ourselves, but He is without sin - ever.

Let's therefore, approach with freeness of speech to the Throne of undeserved kindness, that we may obtain mercy and find undeserved kindness for help at the right time.

Friend, the above passages from the Holy Bible are spoken to you today by the Holy Spirit.  Take heed and allow your mind to discern the true intent of these words for your soul and spirit.

Here the Spirit tells us that God's Word will delve deep into our soul to touch a cord, to resonate with our spirit, to make known to us a Truth. 

He says the Lord is able to read the true intention of the heart when it sets out to do something, anything. 

We may say we are doing or giving for a reason that will bring us a glimmer of notoriety, standing in the commnity, fame or whatever, but God, He knows the Truth that maybe we haven't even recognized, because we are so used to doing whatever it is and have convinced ourselves that we are doing it for another reason - the goodly reason when in fact it has sinful overtones at it's heart.

Yes, God knows the Truth.

Yet the Spirit says that God understands us and wants to help us change to be the real soul that He gave life to.  He knows that life has raised us with evil intent to snatch us away from Him.  But He also knows that we have the ability to stop everything and turn to Him for forgiveness and peace. He is willing to give it when the heart and mind surrender to His Lordship.

Turn to the Throne of Undeserved Kindness and receive all He has for you - why continue to keep running when He knows the Truth about you anyway?

Meditation Verse Psalm 27:4

06/20/2015 09:57

Meditation Verse     

Scripture.  One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple.  Psalm 27:4  KJV

King David wrote this psalm.  He says he is going to seek after the Lord and the implied meaning is that he will diligently seek to know God. David uunderstands that if he does this, his days on this earth will be like dwelling with the Lord in His Kingdom, and he will see the Beauty of the Lord and always have access to enquire in the temple of the Lord.

In previous verses within this chapter David sings that the Lord is his Light and Salvation, and Strength therefore, of whom should he be afraid?

How true for us today!  We stand in the Strength of Almighty God and all who oppose us, oppose Him. He cannot be overcome, and in Him we are overcomers.

David says he just sings praises to the Lord and asks for God's Mercy in all his trials.  He also asks the Lord to teach him of His Ways.

Lastly David says he waits on the Lord.  He does not go out to fight battles unaided by the Lord.  He waits and prays, and praises and learns, gaining strength so that through him, God may be glorified, when the enemy sees what little David did to gain the victory.

God desires to do this for us today and has laid down this chapter of beautiful scriptures to teach us.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for the psalms of David which teach us so much about You.  Help me to be faithful in waiting on You while I learn about You.   Give to me, your Peace and Comfort and Life and Truth and fill me with Godly Wisdom, in Your Mighty Name, I pray. Amen.

Forever Friend

06/19/2015 10:18

We all desire a friend. At least one good friend. A friend who's willing to be there through thick and thin.

But, it is almost impossible in these days for us to have a friend who stays in the same town, city or area as we do.  Maybe it is we who move dwelling places, and our friend of long standing must stay back for reasons of his/her own.

It is inevitable that family moves away from one another in these days.  It used to be that we could always depend on some family members continuing to live in close proximity in one area and we, if having left, could come back for visits or holiday celebrations.  But this is getting further and further the case for most people in the world.

Everyone is scattered.  The world entices us to travel and hastily make decisions for our future.  We move at the drop of a hat, thinking the grass is greener "over there."

But we can have a Forever Friend who is with us at all times, even when we have to move away from our friends of the flesh.

He is the Perfect Friend.  He will never lie to you.  He will hear all you have to say, even the things you could not tell your friend of the flesh.  He understands like no other.  He desires to help you.

His name is Jesus, Lord, Saviour, Redeemer and Friend. He answers to any of those names and so many more!

Today a prayer was answered when I arose.  My Friend had worked on it all night.  Only the previous night had I asked for help.  I had carried the problem long enough and how perfectly and beautifully He wove all the jagged edges together and made everything whole again!

No friend in this world could have done what He did!  Looking at the problem - it was unfixable.  But my Forever Friend did know the answer and waited for me to relinquish it to Him and in a few short hours all was renewed.

Get to know your Forever Friend. He is waiting to hear from you!

Jesus Knows Our Heart

06/17/2015 19:56

Friend, Jesus truly knows what is in our heart!  He knows all the nooks and crannies, all the secret passageways, the dark corners, all the sin pathways, and the hopes and dreams we have stored away in hope - for better days and circumstances.

He knows our heart better than we know it.  He sees what is lurking there from the past to jump up and grab us and tear us down again.  All the demonic forces that pull the strings of the heart, He sees them at work.

We must give Him permission to help us clean up those dark recesses and evil intents. Soon they are going to destroy us.  Now is the time to relent and recognize that He, our Lord  loves us and Wills that we become His, safe under His wings of comfort and care like little ducklings weathering the storm of life.  Later He will show us how to be strong and walk boldly in His Will knowing that nothing is impossible for us, in Him.

First to go is the steady concentration on "self" that we have developed from infancy.  We must learn to concentrate on Jesus and allow Him to concentrate on us in return.  This is the correct Way forward in the Christian life.

Find comfort and encouragement in the Holy Bible knowing that the Holy Spirit has left us something tangible that we can hold and read, that will connect us with the thoughts of God.

Ask for forgiveness for the past and recieve Forgiveness from the Lord - and begin a new day filled with promise for a life that is pleasing to the Redeemer of your soul and from the clutches of satan.

Rejoice then that you have received Saving Grace for your journey.  His Mercies will be new every morning.

Each day walk in the knowledge that you are Loved by Almighty God, because you have chosen His Son, Jesus to be your Saviour.  You have found favour with the Lord!
