Free Will

06/02/2015 13:07

Friend, we're all allowed to make our own choices. 

God has given us free will and He means it.

Evil has a chance to beguile you and the Holy Spirt has a chance to reveal Truth.

But, we get to choose.

The world offers us evil choices and the spiritual world offers us Godly choices.

Examine your life and see what your choices have been.  Do you follow the world or do you follow God?

God says we can choose Him and deny evil right up to the minute we die.

What if though, in that minute before we die, we are so lost we do not realize we can choose God?  What if we are taken in such a way that there is no time to say "Yes" to God?

What if evil has you enslaved and you don't realize you are owned by evil and think because you lived a "good" life you will automatically go to Heaven?

What if you have believed in a false God?

Here's a thought.  What if when a Chrstian dies he finds there is no God - where will he go?  He will go where everyone else goes.  What if there is nothing - no life after death - then we all get the same thing.

But, what if there is a Holy God and Jesus is the Way to eternal Life?  Then only the Christian will receive eternal life and all others will not. 

So it seems there is a small chance a narrow road that possibly leads to eternal life for the soul.  If I, as a born again Christian, will get to have this eternal life just by believing in Jesus, then why would any soul take the chance not to be included.  After all, I am the same as all other souls on this earth except for that one thing.

Yet, my reward is greater - I win and all others lose.

Your free will choice is the one thing you must conquer and bring under your control. Do not be seduced by evil and it's ways any longer. Stop and seek and learn of the other choice and see if it is a path for you.

Evil will always take you back.

The Faith World

06/02/2015 12:40

Friend, there is another world - the world we cannot see. Not outer space, not other planets, but the spiritual world where God resides.

He has created this world that we can live in and see solid objects but there is another more vibrant and alive world of the spirit.

The purpose is a true mystery. Biblical and secular scholars have ideas, but we cannot trust any of that as Truth.

God says we do not need to know.  He has placed us in this world to find Him.  It is our sole duty. 

When we do that duty, we find the spiritual world through faith in God. We accept that there is only One God and He is over all other authorities.

Our faith will set us free from this world.  We live in it but no longer belong to it as we once did.  We see the flaws created by man and the evil that pervades men/women and we set ourselves apart from it because we trust in Him.

We enter the spiritual world through prayer; by communicating with our Lord who is our Intercessor before the Throne of God.

We need the Holy Spirit to interpret our prayers from our small faith words to something that will touch the Heart of Jesus.  Therefore we should see the Holy Spirit as our confidant, and helper.  It is He who will present your prayer to Jesus in the most effective way; the way your heart truly wishes it could find the words.  Your heart's desires will be spoken with great groanings and murmurings before the Lord by the Spirit.  Be certain of that.

If you have never entered into praise or worship for the Lord, I urge you to do so today.  This moment you can say, " Lord, You are wonderful in my eyes!  I am so thankful that I have found You. Thank You, Holy Spirit for all the work you have done to bring me to this place. Lord I worship You for you are worthy to be praised!"

Let those words be the beginning of your praise. You can say them all day long or whenever you feel the Spirit nudging you to praise God.

Always obey the Spirit in this matter as He has a Plan and sees the road ahead and is warning you of evil doings up ahead on the path. Begin to praise God immediately, and the road will be easier to walk as you walk through the trial. Keep you faith tank filled up with praise and worship and prayer and meditation on the High and Most Holy God Almighty.

Receive the inner Joy and Peace that comes with having a full faith tank!

A Prayer For Today

06/02/2015 11:09

Heavenly Father, we come to you in complete humility for we recognize the Power and Majesty that is You. Father we praise You for your Goodness and all the things You are accomplishing for us. We thank You for making a Way where we see no way. We accept Your Will for our lives and ask for the covering of Your Holy angels to keep us safe from harm. We pray for all our loved ones and friends who do not know you to be quickened in their spirit by the Holy Spirit so they may have Salvation. For those who are sick and fearful and lack courage we ask that You will carry them in Your loving arms and help them to know Your Love, Peace and Grace for the day. For those who grieve we ask they be comforted and grow in the knowledge of Your Perfect Plan. You have made a Way and we all have the right to receive forgiveness and we thank You that with every soul You spare nothing to reveal yourself to them before they pass from this life. Comfort those who are left behind, we pray. Thank You for the Comfort we receive each day and the Grace and Mercy our soul has because of Your death and resurrection. In Jesus's Name. Amen.

We Love To Reason

06/01/2015 12:19

Friend, are you addicted to reasoning? Must you come to a conclusion that your reasoning has told you must be correct - because you are at the end of the matter?

Have you "found" the answers?  Is it settled for you how the world was created, how evolution works, why there is no God, how humans must move forward, who must be eliminated from life, how to think?

Will you not entertain a new Truth? Can you not believe that there are mysteries that cannot be fathomned by our finite mind?

Do you not see that this a a form of pride?  Your imaginings are false foundations and it will not be good for your soul if at the end of your life you are still enmeshed in this way of being.

There is a God who is above you!  He asks you to open your mind to His existence.  Allow the Light of His Magnificent Beauty to shine on you and give you peace.

Let Him be the One who is in control of your body, mind, soul, spirit, as you walk through this life.  Ask for His Goodness and Mercy and Grace to be yours.

He loves you and wants you to find Him in seeking for Truth as part of your human reasoning.

Glorify God

06/01/2015 11:48

Friend, it is well known to born again Christians that when they glorify God, they are building up treasure in Heaven for themselves.

So take no thought for self to have glory from the world. Many seek glory - like entertainers who strive to outdo one another and heap all kinds of awards on each other - but that glory will not suffice for a lifetime, nor will it have any value when you stand before Jesus at the end of your life here on earth.

We can have glory heaped on us in the here and now but we should walk humbly and exalt God who allowed it.  Give Him the Glory He deserves so as to keep well balanced in this life.

He knows whose heart is pure in this matter.  We needn't judge others, but we should judge our own intentions.

Always honour Him who gave you life and sustains you daily.  Embrace the day because He has given you a new day.  Walk the Path He has designed for you to have victory in Godly matters. Give honour and glory to Him who is Worthy to be praised and blessed for all He does for His creation.

Nothing escapes His attention.  He is aware of everything, every action, thought, of all creation. When a grain of sand is moved, He knows it.  The largeness of Who He is we cannot imagine.  The Beauty of His appearance we cannot imagine. His Love is beyond compare. His Truth and Law are Just and exact with no loopholes like the law of men.

When we glority Him, we do a good thing for our life, because He is generous to fill us with the gifts of the Spirit, in return.

Keep On Hoping

05/31/2015 11:12

Friend, never lose hope!

If you are praying and weeping before the Lord, He instructs us to never lose hope.  He is working behind the scenes of our lives.  He is orchestrating things to come together for our good.  All things always come together for His Good so just have patience. If we ask, we will receive in due time according to His Will, all we asked for; and generously running over our cup, God's goodness and mercy.

As time goes by we are able to look back and see the Good Works He has done for us and those we love. You won't believe how He accomplished some things.  The way you saw ahead, would have brought more problems, but the Way He made is Perfect, and you won't be able to deny the Completeness of his Will.

He is Holy and it shows in all his handiwork. Many people testify of His Holiness, and the Beauty of what He does.

The Lord comunicates with our spirit. Holy Spirit to human spirit, so trust Him and let all your apprehensions fall away.

Make a decision to be available. Rid yourself of worry and fear and anger and all vices and be available.

Step back from the world and allow the Spirit to communicate with your spirit and receive the life giving Peace that transcends all other human needs.  Focus on Jesus and the Father and Holy Spirit.

Thirty minutes each day, ask them to forgive you, love you and fill you with hope for the future.

Psalm 51:6

05/31/2015 11:03

Meditation

Scripture.  Behold, Thou desirest Truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shall make me to know Wisdom. Psalm 51:6  KJV

King David wrote this verse from Chapter Fifty-one after the Prophet Nathan had convicted him of his sin with Bathsheba.  The Prophet broke the hold that sin had on him, by speaking Truth, and David realized he needed to repent and so, he asked for God's Mercy.

David admits he is a sinner from when he was shaped inside the womb. He asks to be purged and to be forgiven.

We can use this whole chapter as a prayer to God.  The words help us to acknowledge our state before God and how sin is abhorrent to God, how He can never accept sin.

It will help us to ask for forgiveness and purging of the sin in our life. 

It is so beautifully written and the Spirit has included it as one worthy of us singing, praying aloud to God, and meditating upon for our growth in Godly matters and for Godly Wisdom.

Prayer
Lord, thank You that You have shown us the way to ask for forgiveness. Help me to keep this Psalm 51 of David in my heart, and use the words to learn how to pray to You.  Amen
