That Flashing Light of Doom to the Enemy

 

Mayhem in the streets, all day long, is of the enemy. That entitlement comes to those who choose to defy God and His ways and choose to lie, cheat, to have love affairs with things of wood, metal, and sewage "leaders of Portland Oregon choose to allow people into the Willamette River even after raw sewage has leaked into the river at least five times this year".  We must stand strong in this hour.

Hebrews 13:5-6    NKJV   5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say:

The LORD is my helper;

I will not fear.

What can man do to me?'

 

We see the ugliness of fear when people were told a fable or story if you will. Fear is to be of the Lord. Understanding He is God and we are not to fear man. Man cannot cast you into hell. Although he can tell his peers to smear you in some fashion. Yes, society is different than some 30-50 years ago.

 

Fear, when not controlled, gives evidence that a person does not believe that God is telling the truth and that He cannot be trusted to have one's best interests at heart. What rules our heart? Is it the Lord or something else? Does money rule or does some group of people rule your heart? People will most likely not have peace for you in any form. But God has peace for us when we seek Him.

Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." To leave no doubt, God reassures us that He wants the best for us, peace and a future with Him forever.

No matter what problems we face, God has a glorious end-game in mind for us.

When we are sick, the symptoms of our illness tend to show up way before the root is exposed. We may face symptoms such as paralyzing anxiety, anger out of control, marriage in distress, financial chaos, a medical emergency, a suicide prevention at work and much more. In that problem, you and I will lack peace and will certainly long for relief. Where does this pain originate? Our Great Physician offers us great clarity and help.

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

Your heart determines the course of your life. God reveals that the condition of our hearts will determine the course of our lives. What is inside your heart is taking you somewhere!

Christ points to it in Luke 12:32 as a reason not to fear: "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." The end-game for this physical life is only the beginning of the next—eternal life. Our God, with all the power at His command, is committed to getting us there, as I Thessalonians 5:23-24 reveals: "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it" (emphasis ours).

The Lord is leading us into eternity. But the world will lead you someplace else.  It will take you to hell! Jesus looks on our spiritual growth. He will bless us spiritually or will bring judgment to us spiritually. Again, this is for the believer indeed.

 

Our God is not passive in His love for us but is actively looking for opportunities to do us good, assuring us in 2 Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." Not only is it God's will to be a present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), this verse in 2  Chronicles also reveals that He takes it much further. God is with great effort, illustrated by running to and fro, actively looking for opportunities to help us. Kiel and Delitzsch says of this verse, "[He] looks forth over all the earth, uses every opportunity wonderfully to succor those who are piously devoted to Him."

So knowing that God is looking for every opportunity to help us, we should be able to relate to Psalm 121:  I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

With all these promises, why do we have fear? We will fear if we do not make God's promises part of our thinking or lack the faith to believe them. We have some of God’s promises on mirrors. We keep watch on His word and make sure it is within our heart.

Heard today that people in our neighborhood are choosing to be too busy to read the word of God! Psalm 91 conveys to us the importance of a dialogue with God. Surely we have one with God daily, read His word and ask Him questions!

Psalm 91: 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in Him I will trust. 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler ...And from perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night. Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked.  9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your swelling place. 10 No evil shall befall you. Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling: 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample under foot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him.  I will set him on high because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.

Abiding in the secret place, we declare the LORD, Jesus will be our refuge. In God we safe and delivered from the snare of the fowler. We are far from perilous pestilence. He cover us with His feathers and under His wings we take refuge. His truth, His word is our shield and buckler. (This is daily and should be maintained as a relationship, talking with Him.) We are not afraid of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays wast at noonday. A thousand may fall at our side, ten thousand at our right hand; it shall not come near us. Only with our eyes shall we look and see the reward of the wicked.

From verse 11 ....satan always leaves this out of his quoting the scriptures: he speaks, that God gives angels charge over you but he always leaves on the passage..."in all your ways".

Our ways have to be with God in communion with Him and obedience to His word. (We cannot say we believe in Him and never talk with Him.) He is our refuge. He is our strength and safety. No total immunity from things occurring around us, still we rise to the top in God. WE confide in Him! It is a relationship. Start there in Psalm 91 and speak everyday over your lives. Plead the blood line of Jesus around your property and be consistent. Ask God any questions, and He will answer you!

God is Engaged with Activity: John 4:24 God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth

1.   Alive in the new Birth; Alive in the flow of His spirit

2.   Enabled by His power and not as a mechanical thing.

3.   It is humble manner of transparency according to His word of truth for Worshiping Him is not a matter of location but the location of our heart: is it for Him out of true knowledge of God

Holiness starts in one's relationship with the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Justification through God's merciful act of grace opens the door of access to Him, as well as the door to the Kingdom of God. Justification is entirely an act of God, a legal action on our behalf that we accept by faith because He does not lie. Others do not easily discern our justification, since in most cases it has no outward manifestation.   While sanctification unto holiness begins at the same moment as justification, it is a progressive, creative, time-consuming work of God within us.  Unlike justification, sanctification cannot be hidden because it appears in our godly conduct. By it, a witness is made that God dwells in us. Where there is no holiness, there is no witness to glorify God. 

 So we see that justification and sanctification are two separate matters. They are related - indeed, they cannot be separated - but we should never confuse them. If one partakes in either, he is a partaker of both, but we should not overlook the distinctions between them. Keep away from the world's ways. Do not lie, nor seek evil, for evil is watching you. Let us be found faithful to the Lord and walk in all His ways of truth.

May this help anyone who finds themselves seeing evil in wrong places against you. Remind the devil you belong to God and quote Psalm 91. As I was reminded by my niece recently. and referring to my sister, her mother, to declare certain scriptures. In that the Lord showed me to give all of Psalm 91 again as I did before my sister passed into heaven. I also quote those harassing scriptures as in Jeremiah 15:14 "let every harassing spirit be roasted with double fire. Using the blood Of Jesus when drawing those blood lines around property ...Revelation 12:11. Philippians 1:28 gives the devil that neon of : "Doom, doom, and doom! " And in nothing be terrified by your adversaries, which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God." Amen.

The Traditions of Men

 

Arriving at 1 Thessalonians 5 In this the apostle Paul urges the saints to reorganize those who labored among them. Dealing with  “problem brothers: included the unruly with irresponsible behavior, to comfort the faint-hearted, to uphold the weak: those who are spiritually weak and give support to those weak in the faith…….and of course to be patient with all.

So for verse 19 to quench the spirit meant to stifle the work of the Holy Spirit. Limiting Him is stifling Him. Adhering to the traditions of men is stifling the Holy Spirit. Keeping up with man-made rules is stifling Him.

The Holy Spirit should have full access through our spiritual frame. Giving of praise, being prayerful, being thankful and the teachable keeps us in that justice of God and lights our way into His truth keeping and to avoid evil.  

1.          When you are filled with the Holy Spirit there is a divine guidance system that comes with the package. Learning how to cooperate with Him to recognize His voice and avoid the subtle deception of the enemy takes time, but there are distinct principles (or clicks) that we can learn to quickly distinguish. (Jesus spoke of this in Mark 7:8, Paul wrote of deceptive empty philosophy found in Colossians 2:8, Jesus rebukes the religious ones on the tradition of ceremonial cleaning by washing, and this in Mark 7:9 to Jesus rebuked them for rejecting the commandment of God in order to  establish their tradition!)

2.            Those refusing not only the words of Christ, are today refusing those of the Father as well.  Mark 7:13…making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.  In the Jewish tradition there had arised a thing called  “Corban” meaning that even though Jewish parents might be in great need. Their son having money to care for them, but did not do it, but spoke “Corban” that his money was dedicated to God or to the temple. This relieved him of his responsibility of supporting his parents. Whether this money was moved into temple use was not an issue or important. This was wrong, men violating under the cloak of religion were committing a rebellious act against God.

3.          Easton's Bible Dictionary states that a person could not reclaim anything designated as Corban. Jesus hated this practice of the Pharisees, as their traditions in this area nullified God's commandment that children should honor their parents. Their man-made teaching gave people an excuse for not helping their father or mother. It also, at the same time, offered them the opportunity to use such designated good for their own selfish use. Love: the Flesh kind of love is selfish, & exact opposite God wants to transform people. Those who live by faith do not live by the flesh in nicotine waves of delight nor take another man’s wife or speak profanity! Yielding to Him—God is building character based on outgoing love.

4.          Titus 1:14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. Mark 7:9 He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. Again from 1 John 4:6 NKJV 6  We are of God . He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth & the spirit of error. We are not to live in world of religious fantasies & of rules. From that given in Titus 1:14 any rules or fantasies centering around the observance of days or the avoidance of ceremonies because of defilement, Paul wrote in Colossians 2:23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, & neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. Astrology, witchcraft, oppossers of truth……………False systems fail. The practices of man’s own religion is one of false humility, their self-denial is achieved in higher holiness as seen in Hinduism and other mystical religions of the East. Flesh will never merit God’s favor. Flesh has passions and lusts: sexual immorality with hindering spirits of manipulation for selfish control, it includes anything done or said in obscenity.  

Idolatry: worshiping as in adultery, as in astrology, to the forms of witchcraft and every familiar spirit. Flesh engages in alcohol: affecting mind, looking for freedom in a bottle when only Jesus can set us free. Flesh takes nicotine, the smell of tobacco and smoke, the addiction people love where they light up at their will not God’s will. They call it “ their nerve tonic” to calm themselves when in truth they are adding fire to their nerves, adding loss to their brain cells, creating a major highway on their face and call it a nerve tonic!       

 Drug addiction to the flesh creature is a way to get high in a number of ways. But one way is to be relieved of pain in their bodies. Be relieved of back pain, be relieved of the nightmares they carry from a major military deployment.

But any worldly wisdom of the world is bad! James 3:13-18 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy & self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy, and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. The Lord Jesus is the embodiment of true wisdom. The meek and lowly in heart: the hallmark of the genuine humility is he who is truly wise.

Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error: There is coding being done today! Coding formation for a format, a way to produce for a purpose that is false, for a foundation of a new reset without God. It has nothing to do with truth and will bring one to the wrong place and to the wrong end.

IN  Isaiah 5 the prophet Isaiah prophesied in the first woe of covetous land owners who try to corner the real estate market till there is an acute shortage of houses and land, yet the owners dwell in solitary splendor.     The second woe was this: confirmed alcoholics who would feast morning to night carousing in total disregard to God and His works.  The third woe was of the brazen liars and God-defiers who are hitched to sin and drag guilt and punishment after them. They challenged God to hasten with the punishment He has threatened on them.  A haughtiness……The fourth woe: those who obliterate moral distinctions. Denying the difference between good and evil. Isaiah 5: 20 Therefore, Isaiah prophesied the fourth woe, saying: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet/ sweet for bitter.

1.            We see career minded criminals let go at every deed of evil, but the good are thrown in jails and prisons.  In the Code of Ethics: In the 4th  woe, there is the concern of willful confusion of the standards of right/ wrong. They had no real code of ethics. What they did have is a false code; they called evil good / good evil. They confuse darkness for light and light for darkness; they mistake bitter for sweet /sweet for bitter.

2.            In the code of the Moral: The morale code had been rewritten. People no longer felt guilty when they acted in ways that once were considered immoral. One person’s sweet was another person’s bitter. Personal tastes and situational ethics ruled the day. It was reminiscent of the days of the judges where Isra'el had no king and everyone did as they saw fit (Judges 21:25b).

The fifth woe is one that consisted of conceited men who cannot be told anything. They are always right about everything!  The sixth woe: Judges who are heroes at drinking and who pervert justice through accepting bribes.  Isaiah 5:24-25 NKJV Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, & the flame consumes the chaff, so their root will be as rottenness, & their blossom will ascend like dust; because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 Therefore the anger of the LORD is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them & stricken them. And the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.

The traditions of Men nullify the Word of God and hurt you!  Empty rituals and customs hold no power or  significance in the Kingdom of God. They are the man-made rules and regulations that focus on the outward appearances and adherence to legalistic practices rather than the transformation of the heart by Holy Spirit. Traditions of men will cause stumbling blocks to true faith and hinder the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. Jesus Himself rebuked religious leaders of His time for their emphasis on traditions and neglect the weightier matters of  the law, such as justice, mercy and faithfulness.

We only get guidance of the Holy Spirit in discernment and embracing the traditions that truly honor and glorify our God! Be anchored in the truth of God. It is truly the Holy Spirit Who will guide us into all truth and help us discern between genuine biblical principles and the doctrines of men. Our faith is to be in Jesus Alone!

The King's Voice for the Mature

 

Seen any "strange" behavior? What about truth do you hear or does your area or arena lack it? In the pass ten days I have heard both side speaks. One though is so odd: like the cruise ship coming into Miami port and a group of what ( a hundred ) are having a WWF  on the weekend. Yes, a specific cruise and only maybe an hour left to embark for home, many start punching like 12 year girls. Or how about that of a Snap person saying yes now makes too much money to gain food stamps. Or this was a stopper indeed: a group of folks come in, order food, complain about food suggesting not what they ordered or what is cold or like any complaint you can think of right at this moment. ( I think of a Chinese place that had good food....it was filled with fifty cent pieces! I did not eat that nor did I keep their coins.) Then these same folks will wait and complain till the food is free for them.

Jesus spoke of speaking only what He heard the Father speak!

Identifying with Christ:  1 Corinthians 2:6-9  NKJV  6  However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.  7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8  which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written:

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

If you love your spouse, is it because you see a new facet of them daily? What you focus on becomes your central thought.

If mankind had seen Christ, if they had clearly identified with Him, the history of the world would be exceedingly different. But today we see a spiral downward toward nothingness. In truth, they did not see because, as Paul writes here, they were not mature. Mature, in this context, means "converted." He contrasts those who are able to see and those who are not able to see. Those who are able to see are those who are spiritually mature. The converted does not quote culture. They, the people should not imitate culture in any way, shape or form.

Even though Christ quoted—and lived—the scriptures with which most of His audience were familiar, the people did not see God working through Him. So it has always been with God's servants.  Even today we find many who choose to quote Jesus but not act like Him!

1.         Christ was not the only one. Jesus Himself testifies that these people also "kill[ed] the prophets" (Matthew 23:34-37). It is unlikely that they would have killed the prophets if they clearly saw them as God's messengers. If they believed in God and were fearful of His authority and sovereignty over His creation, they would not have dared to do it! Nevertheless, it has always been this way: Some see and some do not see. What you are raised in will become your central theme: peace or violence!

2.         Paul says in I Corinthians 2:7 that God's ministers "speak the wisdom of God in a mystery." This mystery is not a puzzle that is difficult to solve but "a secret impossible to penetrate." As the apostle goes on to say in succeeding verses, the world is not "all there" upstairs because they do not have God's Spirit to help them penetrate the secret. Without this vital ingredient, it is no wonder that it accepts its own and rejects the truths of God.

Paul writes in verse 9, "But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.'" Many in the world believe that the things of God are "too great" for mere humans to comprehend. We really cannot "get it" or see it. Yet, the truth is so simple to those whose eyes are open that a child can understand. The carnal mind, however, is so blinded by traditions and habits of thinking that even Christians tend to reject the things of God—even though God has converted us.

 In reference to this theory of men denied seeing and hearing.....The effect of this is something like the story about the three blind Indians who were led up to an elephant. Each man touched a different part of the great beast. One held the elephant's trunk, and when asked what it was, he said, "This is a snake." The second man, holding the elephant's tail, said, "This is a rope." The third man, feeling the elephant's leg, said, "This is a tree."

The world can perceive bits and pieces of the truth, but they cannot put it all together and see the glory of God in its whole. They cannot see God as an intrinsic—absolutely necessary—part of a person's life. They cannot see how necessary the spiritual is!

Jesus Operated Out of the Eternal Quality of Love: John 15:5-8 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me & I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. That we take hold of this thought that Jesus was about glorifying His father

Now that is love. He was glorifying His Father!  Seeing God Through love: 1 John 4: 12-16 NKJV No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him.

Hebrews 5:14 tells us if we have a maturity in the Word, we likely possess a spirit of discernment: “But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”  ( as a friend of ours speaks: meat)

How do I pray for the spirit of discernment?  Since Solomon pleased God by asking for a wise and discerning heart, we would do well to request of God the same.  We can pray for a heart of discernment as the Psalmist did in Psalm 119:25: “I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.”   When we pray for discernment, we are to ask for it in faith, like we would ask for anything (Matthew 21:22). We are also to ask for it with the right motives. James 4:3 tells us “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”

If you are asking God for anything, not really believing God will give it to you, you are one who “should not expect to receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:7). And if you ask so that you can wield a spiritual super-power and appear more spiritual than others around you, that, too is not pleasing to the Lord.  But, when you ask humbly, in faith, and with the motive of living a more holy life, God will hear you (Matthew 21:22).

Pray also for a renewed mind and a stronger desire for God’s Word than the world’s philosophies. Romans 12:2 tells us: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Pray to hear His voice of clarity. Lord, God, please give me an understanding heart and a sensitivity to Your ways. Lord, help me to distinguish between the truth of Your Word and the lies of this world.

ONLY what is of God is truth. So any other mere words are men’s Words.

John 8:42-47….KJV………….42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God hears God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Jesus was not soft. He told these men they were of their father the devil.. If we stop  defending Christianity, that is exposing evil, rebuking those false teachers, and confronting believers, we will have more people lost and led astray than those who are the saved!

Vain Imagining Can Be Stopped…By times of praise, and exalting Jesus,

By exalting His greatness and authority, we find those quiet, secret place times with HIM,  cast down those thoughts that are contrary to God's heart and Spirit and let God know that we love Him, but is it equally true that they hate evil?

Truly loving God is demonstrated in and by our character when we will not tolerate evil in our own hearts. Honor the Lord: Highly esteem Him and make His Name distinct in your speaking.  We stop speaking about us, and speak  about Him! Humble ourselves under His mighty Hand. Have we? Have we today stopped speaking about us all the time? What might be mentioned for the Lord of glory?

As we are yielded to the Holy Spirit, planting His Word within us, we will have eyes to recognize evil. It many times comes in a form that is pleasant or seems acceptable. Some evil is obvious, while other times it does take Holy Spirit discernment to see it. God will help you as you lean into Him. Let His praise continually be in your mouth and have a joyful, peaceful and glorious day with God!

Matthew 10:32-34….Amplified Bible…32 Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me [out of a state of oneness with Me], I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven and confess [ that I am abiding in] Him. 33 But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown.

 The disciples had return to fishing. And Jesus knew where they would be. Their Shepherd had been crucified a painful death. Their thoughts had been on His leading the nation from Roman rule, but the religious sector had covetous ideas & hatred for Him. Still, Jesus came to attend to those He called. Jesus had taught them the things of Heaven. He had given them an upgrade for living in the knowledge of God being they were now linked to quality & length of life. Certainly staying within God & His presence will determine our direction & quality of life for any individual. If we truly are converted & have Jesus seated on our heart then we are expectant to be even enlightened of His life, His grace & experience more of that from Him. He is not the elusive but human nature saturates the man or the woman with misconceptions.

If there is only darkness in us, contempt for others will appear. You will demand more free stuff for your pain. You lost this, you got sick with something or your spouse left but remember you can choose life in God. You can choose to have light of His word guiding you through. I have seen that darkness when the enemy comes, but I also continued to hear words of wisdom prayers for strength and to keep  reaching for the future in God. We choose. If you choose chaos, fine indeed but keep to yourself please!

Everything!!!

In thinking of the length, width, depth and height……where does that love begin?  Ephesians 3:14-21..............14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.  NKJV

How much of His power really works in us, so we can ask Him for the impossible?

Was reminded today by the Lord, that I can pray about Him able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think, but how much power flows through us, to receive it?  In thinking of how many are breaking laws today, their love must be almost extinct.  I can pray for those who are breaking those laws, but cannot pray for those who are working toward death of others! If we go to that new place is it about really making your life better or just to steal from another person, just like you!

A good thought  should be that God-minded for His love and peace. We will walk today toward this day in whom we have believed. He can do for the righteous what He has said He will do. No doubt here on that scripture, I have seen Him do the miraculous. Seriously speaking though, do we know how much, if any power is in us?  Is your switch on or just low in the words of truth God has spoken?

We should know the Holy Spirit resides in us when we have received Jesus as Lord. But do we pay Him any attention throughout our day?

That power to complete something is an exertion. That power is something that enables us to accomplish that which He desires us to do for Him and His kingdom. It takes a cooperation on our part. How does that work? It works when we continue to take on His likeness and continue to enter His kingdom. Our searching His word strengthens us, and fortifies us to be established before any world storms are driven in our direction. God wants to counsel us and lead us by His Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:26-27..................26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. NIV

Upon entering a dark room at night, the instinct is to go over and turn the power on, right? Finding the light switch, especially if there is a wall switch that will activate the power on, is paramount when one is stumbling in the dark. But when the power comes on, surges through that light bulb and light fills the room, one relaxes knowing they can truly see without stumbling through the room.

I heard this story once about this wealthy Scottish lady who had a nice home. She was widowed for many years, but had extreme wealth. She had wanted lights in her home. She had lived at the turn of twentieth century and had the gas put in, and after a month, the gas people returned to see why she was not using her gas for lighting her home. They wanted to know if she was dissatisfied with the gas installed into her home.  The gas that powered heat and light into her home was available, but she did not activate it. So the gentleman from the gas company showed her again where the "switch" was to turn or activate the gas in her home. She had continued to use candles to light her home and had never walked over to flip "the switch" on!

To me, that was like using the microwave oven or any new thing on the market back in the late 70's. I had one but rarely used it. Had a dishwasher too, but rarely had use of it as the work appeared doubled in loading and unloading it when having two people to wash and dry, the work is done and move on to something else. Of course, you may not have someone who is willing to help in the kitchen right now, but the day will come when each of us has kitchen duty. Ask anyone who has lost a loved one, and had to learn how to cook or even heat something on the stove after the loved one is gone.

Some of the best conversations my sister and I had when growing up, was those at the sink, washing up dishes after a great meal our mother had prepared for us to enjoy. There were times of soap suds floating in the air, but joy and laughter could be heard throughout the house and probably outside as well. It was a moment in time that we came together to do something, not only for our mother, but for ourselves as well. We enjoyed doing something together. Although it could sound like a "fight" who was going to wash and who was going to dry, still today it brings a smile to my face!

POWER!

Being daily rooted and grounded in love:1 John 3:21-24

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. NKJV

Know that love of Christ which passes knowledge = fullness of God:Psalm 61:6-8

6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations. 

7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. 

8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name 

and fulfill my vows day after day.  NIV

Acts 2:28...28 You have made known to me the paths of life; 

you will fill me with joy in your presence.'  NIV

Knowing Christ in love, is dwelling in His holiness, His wisdom, knowledge as well.

We carry His presence wherever we go!

People are trying to plug into power, but they use some kind of wealth to propel them forward. And if they use it for an amount of time, they find they have bought too much, had way too many parties and never thought of what came next! They may intensify with an amount of wealth, they may use their status to push the envelope for power yet be terribly vulnerable when it comes to devil and his wiles.

For you and I, we must intensify in the presence and power of Jesus Christ. We are told that Paul prayed those believer’s would know

Christ living in them, that their hearts would be of faith in Him. That each would grasp God’s love at the spiritual level and beyond intellectual or theological knowledge and they would be filled with God’s fullness. Meaning this, that Holy Spirit would reveal the things of Christ (John 16) more fuller achieving God’s work in the earth. Each individual would and could be the un-hindered, the un-quenched and the un-grieved.

This will include your walk with others including spouse and children. (socially) It will include your finances. It will include the physical body and the spiritual life with God.  It is used mentally. We are to be God inside-minded!

Jesus  spoke we are to never to worry about what’s going to happen tomorrow, because He has not given us the grace to bear up under tomorrow’s concerns until we get there. You cannot be in two places at one time, but He can. So we will not borrow worries from the future. We Will not borrow trouble from anyone.  People borrow trouble from the news network daily and why?   We are to invest in faith. To choose to look for God’s hand working on our behalf today—and trust Him, in simple faith, for our tomorrow and future.  Without faith we cannot move through life in the spiritual. Spiritual eyes see and spiritual hearts will speak…that is by prayer in the kingdom of God.
