Friend, our struggles are never over but we must keep close to the central truths we have learned from the Holy Spirit, in order to be protected, and guided through the maze of madness that surrounds us.

Let the world continue on it's evil path, while you do all the Spirit directs us to do, clinging to the Central Truths of God's Holy Word.

Temptation should be managed and controlled by the help of the Spirit. Be willing to commit to removing  and rejecting sinful thoughts, and actions of both the mind and body. 

Find the deep well of forgiveness that God has and plunge in and be forgiven; rise up and be cleansed and sin no more. This is the directive that Jesus gave to the woman at the well when she realized that He was Christ.

When we recognize Who He Is, we need to accept forgiveness and sin no more. It is possible to daily; commit to removing sin from the life, hour by hour and in even smaller increments.  Just make the effort and with God, you will overcome.

Be encouraged!  You and the Spirit will change your life for the better.  It's all between you and God.  No other human can say or do anything other than to encourage and uplift you in the faith through prayer and Godly scripture words, to help you.

If you wait for someone else to change or be saved through Jesus you may miss your own salvation and the redeeming work that Jesus has in store for you.

Jesus wishes to share with you His Love.  There are so many ways He can do this and it is different for each one of us - especially tailored to your needs, it will fit you like a glove of new glorious skin.  You will be a new creature.

You will know it and God and Heaven will see it.  Some people may recognize that you have changed but some will not.  It doesn't matter.  It's between you and Jesus and the Spirit of God.

Friend, God loves us. He tells us so in the Holy Bible.  It is like a love letter.

When you read it, always be asking, "What are You telling me, here, my Lord?"

You will begin to get small "knowing" answers in your mind.  Some will actually hear as if someone has spoken the words. 

Do not be fooled, test those answers against His Word.  Look in the appendix and find other scripture verses that will confirm or deny what you "heard." Try for at least three to find your Truth - the gem of wisdom that He has given you by the Holy Spirit and His Holy angels, who surround you to help you from falling backwards.

He loves us because He sent His Son to be born in the flesh.  Think about that. To leave all that Heaven offers and the Authority, to become a mere man, a baby dependent on others.

Why did Christ do this? Because He loves His creation.  Jesus is the Word who spoke and planets were formed.

He left Heaven to walk among us and experience in the flesh what we experience; sorrow, loss and all things evil throws at us, but He with the knowledge of God's Word, overcame all sin and fulfilled the Plan of God to add to the Law a new covenant or Promise, to men who would believe in the crucifixion and resurrection.

It is up to us to recognize Truth and receive forgiveness and follow the Master through the help of the Holy Spirit who Jesus sent to be with us after He resurrected to be at the right hand of the Father.

Friend, meditate on this to find the Truth He is revealing to you.

I pray for your mind and heart to be touched by the hand of God and the mind of God.  He did it for you and this is your chance to believe and start out on a new path to Heaven and eternal Life  with Christ.

It is pure Love.  He could have just said, forget the earth and it's inhabitants, scrap it and let's start again with purity and holiness. But no, He has made a Way for those who will hear and see Him in the spirit.

That my friend is Love!

Friend, when we focus on our "self," we are not focused on God.

It's that simple.

To focus on self is to not allow God to be the Giver, Teacher, Guide, Lover of our soul and spirit.

How then can we receive all the good things that God has waiting for us?

We must focus on God. His Glory, His Majesty, His Power, His Supreme Ability to bring Goodness into our lives.

When we focus on self it is a dark world in the spirit.  The flesh is sometimes satisfied but seldom, as it always feels like something is missing.  And it is!  God is missing from the equasion.

Praise is the answer.  Praise God for Who He is and What He owns, and what He can do; everything!

Give thanks for what you have, and what He has done, and is going to do for you.  Give thanks for your forgiveness. 

Let your spirit meditate day and night on how Great God is, as you go about your day and evenings allowing Him to bless and favour you as His child.

Does this not bring you an inner peace and joy?

Friend, the Bible tells us that trials are necessary; therefore we all will endure trials, both the believer and unbeliever.

As a believer, I reflect on what could be the cause and what could be the teaching I am in need of, and what is the Godly answer to my problem.

Job said in Chapter 42 verses 1, 5-6. I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth Thee. Wherefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes.

Job, after hearing from all his friends, did reflect and begin to see that God is All Mighty, All Powerful, All Seeing, All Knowing and He is Just and things are going to be His Way no matter the many other paths we take to try to skirt around His Influence in our lives and have things our way.

It will be His Way. It will.

Job realizes that he is unworthy and just scum of the earth even though he had great wealth and position.  To God, that is smaller than a tiny grain of sand. 

God had allowed Job to acquire and flourish. 

Job finally got it.  God could give and God could take.

But, God is a Good God - He took everything Job had, bit by bit, so Job would come to know Him, just as Job did.

Will you be like Job.  Will you say to God, "I abhor myself, I am not worthy of forgiveness."?

Say it now my friend, before you lose everything.  If you have lost everything and are searching, then this is the Good News;- God loves you and will sustain you. Recognize His Power and Authority over your life and repent of your ways that do not please Him and He will be Just to forgive you and begin a new work in your heart and mind, place you on the Righteous Path and walk with you every minute, teaching, guiding, and loving you.

Repent and receive His Forgiveness today!

Psalm 37:1-17

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Trust in the Lord; and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shall be fed.

Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy ways unto the lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.

And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

The wicked plot against the just, and gnash upon him with his teeth.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for He seeth that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholds the righteous.

Friend, it is wise to test the insights we get to see if they line up with God's Word.

This is why it is necessary to know God's Word, the Holy Bible; to have read all the words of Jesus and the prophets and disciples and apostles.

In those chapters and verses are our answers for life.

When we hear or see something with our mind's eye we must check to see if it is Godly or from the pit of hell, disguised as Godly.

When it is something we want to hear, we must be especially careful as we could be led down a path of unrighteousness, thinking it is the Path of Righteousness.

Many could the years be that we tread that path thinking it is righteous; following our own ungodly insights; allowing ourselves to be fooled, lied to and corrupted by evil.

When we take those paths, God does through the Spirit, never stop prodding us away from the danger, but sadly, we will in our own righteousness, continue on.

Be the friend of Jesus who says, "Yes, Master, Your Way, not mine. According to Your Will always, Lord."
