Turn to See the Voice

 

In listening, that hearing God speak, do we know Him in that silence? What about hearing His authority and strength while He speaks? In verse 10 of Revelation 13..the call is for endurance and faith of the saints. Faith is required ….it should be a knowing of the past faith walk in Him, that although He is neither chaotic nor is He haphazard, but the end times have been orchestrated by Him. It is you and I who are to walk like a beautiful song on a stormy day, to live in harmony with God seated in heavenly places while hell is breaking loose….on earth!

Revelation 1:12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. and having turned I saw seven golden lamp-stands, 13 & in the midst of the seven lamp-stands  One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet & girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head & hair were white like wool, as white as snow, & His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, & His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

1.         The sun is a star that will burn out; in the new earth/new heaven, the only light will be from God Himself/Son of Man: Jesus clothed with a garment down to the feet /had a breastplate on….He is the Judge in His righteousness / faithfulness as a Priest/…Jesus is described as His head & hair white like wool/ as white as snow; Dressed in eternity as the Ancient of Days ;He carries wisdom & purity in His judgments/His eyes flames of fire; that His perfect knowledge has infallible insight /reveals nothing escapes His scrutiny… His feet like fine brass, refined in a furnace; brass consistent with judgment based on His work finished on the Cross, He sees who obeyed Him/who resisted Him.  (Voice: sound of many waters: majestic/strong & with authority)

Rev. 1:17& when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But he laid His right hand on me saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last. 18 I am He who lives & was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. & I have the keys of Hades & of Death. 19 Write the things which you have seen, & the things which are, & the things which will take place after this.” 20 “The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, & the 7 golden lamp-stands: The 7 stars are the angels of the 7 churches,& the 7 lamp-stands which you saw are the 7 churches.

1.         “Do not be afraid; I am the First & the Last. I am He who lives and was dead, & behold I am alive forevermore. Amen”……John fell out under the Spirit of God, but Jesus told him not to fear……Judgment will begin at the “house of God” 1 Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; & if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 Now “if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly & the sinner appear? “19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

2.         7 stars are seven messengers/ they are sent to 7 churches to encourage the church to shine for God amid the darkness of the world

3.         Churches will be judged with purpose of purification and reward

4.         The world will be judged with the purpose of punishment

5.         Christ in all His perfections is the supremely qualified to judge the seven churches which are the lamp-stands and the seven stars represent those messengers delivering this message. Some say they were angels others say they would be the pastors of those churches.

John Has the Vision of the Son of Man: clothed with a garment down to the feet & girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head & hair were white like wool, as white as snow, & His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, & His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

1.         This is the glorified Christ

2.         Christ touched him, He placed His hand on John and assured him that he would not die

Christ Shares His divine Glory with His followers: John 17:5-6 & v. 22 NKJV 5 and now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. 6 I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world, they were Yours, you gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one.

1.         Lives of Christians being transformed into the glorious image of God: 2 Cor. 3:18 NKJV But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

2.           Believers fully glorified at the end of time in God's heavenly presence: Ro 5:2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, & rejoice in hope of the glory of God; Col. 3:4 NKJV When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.   The glory of God will be seen everywhere :Rev 21:23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

His praise will be heard/ God’s glory will be honored as well as that audible praise will be heard seen in Rev. 5:12-13. “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power & riches and wisdom, & strength and honor, & glory & blessing!” 13 And every creature which is in heaven & on the earth & under the earth & such as are in the sea, & all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing & honor & glory & power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

The Voice of the LORD:3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders: Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory?               

The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

Psalms 24:7 Who is this King of glory? Psalm 24:8, 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 10 who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.

He is Warrior— He is the King of glory/ He is strong Lord, He is mighty Lord of battle,/the Lord of hosts: Ex 15:3  The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His name.; Zech 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth & fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. 4 & in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. & the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley.  The same Jesus in Rev. 1 is going to step foot on earth! Majesty, mighty,  / strength. Greatness, authority and honor. GLORY! 

In Closing: The Voice as the Sound of Many Waters is with us. He tells us to not fear! His fire will only bring a refining for us to become as clear as amber in His sight!  In His tender love, we are not to fear for 2021 is coming!   2 Thess. 1:7-10  NKJV  7 & to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, & on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord & from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.    In the first chapter of Rev. we begin to see an unveiling of Jesus Christ, when He removes man from governing the earth & takes that responsibility to Himself. It is the fulfillment of the gospel message that He brought.  When Christ is revealed, the Glorified Son in the Kingdom of God will be at hand. Like Jesus, John will reveal that sword. This is good news because it contains a zealous righteous goodness! A pursuit that is active for good to mankind ,a deliberate good to bring a force of love & a justice to an entire creation when the present principalities, powers, & broken governments of men are replaced with a King who will powerfully impose all that is good upon a sin-sick world. Matured to see with spiritual eyes the brightness of His coming, His eyes of fire, & His voice heard as of many waters. For He leads us on…. into eternity! Christ is the source and donor of every gift. For that which is heard is seen…..for in Him there are over-comers indeed!

SEE ME LORD!

Have you ever prayed the prayer, "Lord, I will go where You want me to go, I will do what You ask me to do and I will speak what You what me to speak"?

I have many times! "Nevertheless, not my will be done, but Your's be done God in my life!"

Matthew 26:39
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."  NIV

Jesus was headed to the "Cross". He was taking the sin of man!

Luke 22:42-44

42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.  

NIV

I like this in Luke 22:42..........Jesus is asking if the Father is willing.......take this cup from me, yet not my will, BUT YOURS BE DONE. AND THEN in verse 43..........an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened Him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly and His sweat became as drops of blood falling to the ground.

Yes our lives are a journey through this world and into eternity with God. If we do not "know" Him then we will be somewhere in eternity away from God, away from His love and away from anything good!

God is accessible and we, too, are to be accessible to others as well. Although it has become the "difficult" when so many use only one source of communicating. That is: if one only texts or if one only uses like Facebook for instance!
It is important that we use our language and speak out with real words........for ourselves to hear and for others to hear as well. Our language makes the difference in communicating with others.

Staying with God means that we talk with His words............and looking to Him for answers to any questions we may have in prayer. I wrote something about this for our grand-child recently. And in it I reminded her of the importance of speaking words.

 That talking to your-self takes perseverance. In it, we speak God’s Word into our lives.   We are told in  Philippians 4:6-9................6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. NIV

Paul wrote: "whatever you have learned or received or heard from me (Paul), or seen in me....put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

AND Colossians 3.....speaks this:Colossians 3:3-4

3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.  NIV

We are the hidden with Christ in God. Christ Who is our life is to lead us.

I told our grand-child how we can wrestle with some things. And when any friction from another person or just something within ourselves occurs, we must point to our body, to our own selves, and SPEAK!  The words we speak will encourage us, strengthen us, and help us to raise our eyes above the circumstance. 
Encountering say persecution because of the way you act in church or how you may dress or something someone else sees in you that bothers them, can bring some painful words to you, but we do not expect to take those painful things to our hurt. We fill our heart today with God’s Words that help us to rise above any persecution, any sickness or any pain.

We desire that “doubt” will not enter our hearts. We desire to keep our stance, that place we walk with God, and keep to His plan with our hand in His and converse as always.

Internal struggles can come, but we look to God and what He tells us to overcome in those situations.  

We are to remember that God, so loved the world that He gave. He gave us His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God You did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 I am the he who believes in Him and I am not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:16-18) NKJV

That "he" who believes, will continue living, to continue the "journey" and to find us (each) in His love, His peace and His glory. Whatever cup that you drink from, is to do His will regarding the cup. It may be something you did yourself, but He will send "HELP". HIS WORD IS WEALTH TO US AND IT IS HIS PEACE!  The more we access Him and His glory, the more we move deeper into Him and His peace.

Our asking to go for Him, is willing to go, "no matter their looks", "no matter their verbal abuse" and "no matter whether they hear " you speak. We are not God, and He certainly can take care of things Himself. But we are to be His witness on and in the earth. 

Today, I give this prophetic Word. 

It keeps playing out.........and here I write it..........the vision!

The scripture base of it is below:

Luke 7:11-17

11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out-the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry." 

14 Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. 

16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people." 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.  NIV

Someone has been told that which they loved has died. It can be a ministry, a "special job", a dream they held for decades, but God is speaking, and the Father declares this day by His Son and that shed Blood, that which held many to their faith, believing God is for them and with them,  prevails this day.  For the Lord has seen your tears and the "silent tears" no one saw, but God did. And He declares this day, that whatever church group is carrying your vision out in a coffin to be buried, that which is a dream come true is being put in a coffin and taken out for burial or that ministry that is built on the foundation of the Cornerstone of Jesus is going to be raised.

The "mourners" have come to close the lid of that which God destined for you to walk out, take HEED!....IT IS NOT OVER, BUT GOD! 

With a prevailing winds of the Holy Spirit, holding onto promise, you will see that 'dream', "that ministry", that "special job" God created just for you is coming to pass.

HOLD ON! DON'T LOSE FAITH, UNDERSTAND GOD IS ON YOUR SCENE, AND RESURRECTION POWER IS PREVAILING.

AHH, LISTEN, THE WIND BEGINS.......THE LORD IS PERFORMING HIS WORD. He is watching over His Word to perform It! Jeremiah 1:12.

For you who have helped another, when they were either the "abandoned" or needed help cleaning up a "mess" someone else caused, God saw your generous act, and He is reminding you today, that you killed the giant like David, but was done for others..........like that giant was King Saul's problem. David just showed up and helped! In that merciful way, God is helping you.

See Me Lord!

Jeremiah 12:1-3

You are always righteous, O LORD,

when I bring a case before you.

Yet I would speak with you about your justice:

Why does the way of the wicked prosper?

Why do all the faithless live at ease? 

2 You have planted them, and they have taken root;

they grow and bear fruit.

You are always on their lips 

but far from their hearts. 

3 Yet you know me, O LORD;

you see me and test my thoughts about you.  NIV

 Yes, He sees you. He knows your thoughts for Him ........you have been tested..........and found TRUE!

Father, let your justice run down now for those who value You and Your word. Let justice run down through the offices of which they stand or work. Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Let it run!
Amos 5:24
24 But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream! NIV

Ministry rise to God's plan, live....dream........speak loudly the things of God.......bring forth life in my dreams Lord, that which is ordained by YOU my God alone. Stand and live.....in that position....that which God ordained specifically for you. Rise out of the coffin, rise out of that which spoke of "defeat" and "death" for God is performing that which others will see. It will speak and give glory to God. Others will see and know that God has done this: for it was for this very hour, that God raises that which is to glorify the life in Him that will bring many to salvation.
Stand in awe, for the great Lord has come, and God has helped his people.
Father, may the news about Jesus continue to spread throughout our land and the surround country.

Were You Left at "Jericho"?

Mark 10:46-52
46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 49 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you." 50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. 51 So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight." 52 Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
NKJV

In this passage we are reminded of Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.

You remember the man standing by the roadway, begging as one being blind would do. It appears he is in the right place. Someone most likely placed him there to beg to those who passed by like those going to King Herod's summer time palace in Jericho.

But on this day, Jesus of Nazareth was passing. And am certain this blind man heard the crowd. And all the noise of those who were following Jesus at the most opportune moment, prompted the blind man to take courage. He was blind and wanted to be heard by the one who had caused the blind to see and the lame to walk.

In the natural aspect of this, I wonder how many plant themselves by the side of a roadway hoping to be heard. They are those who really do not see and are the lame in that they cannot do for themselves. They are the fallen, those who have been abused and even left behind by the loved one. They have come from broken places to reside in broken places. They come from other ruling entities as to overbearing parents, leaders or spouses. They can come from a regular looking home and still fall short in some area of their mind, will or emotions.

How many even today are waiting to hear of "HEALING" in the house, or "RESTORATION" to a broken heart? How many are in a church setting, but with no way to relate a brokenness in their heart? They are silenced by the all-important agenda of a pastoral committee!
In scenes of most churches on a Saturday or Sunday, all are having you to be believe in being happy, teaching happiness, and that there is no brokenness. They desire to let you know "that you have come to happy land" and "there is no trial, no tribulations. They want you to know that you will be protected in the "happy land". This blind man was brought to a place to help him exist but not to flourish.
In the case of Bartimaeus, we see two things going on. He was placed to receive from man and maybe the rich and famous. We also see him placed by Jericho, the summer retreat home for the king and see him ministered by Jesus. He was not ministered to "in the church" but by the side of the road.
It was during a walk Jesus had in going to minister to others. Jesus was on His Way somewhere to reach someone.
Did a family member drop him there to beg, to fill a gap they the family member, or friend could not give him?

Blind Bartimaeus spoke loudly to Jesus, crying out "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Certainly when that happens, there will be those around to say "shut-up"! Or they might tell you to leave the man alone. Either way, this blind man was going to heard. And he continued to cry out, now, not only over the roar of the regular crowd, but also those who would desire to quiet Bartimaeus.

Most certainly God is order! But His order comes in the form of humility. In that of Jesus, He was, is and will always be the Prophet. He was humble before His Father and remain steadfast to pleasing the Father. There is a boldness that rises out of one who is the broken when they see one of courage WHO STANDS IN BOLDNESS TO DO THAT WHICH IS RESISTANT TO THE legalistic views of those who capitalize on religion and not on what was intended from the beginning of time for all of us. The blind saw Jesus spiritually and reached for His divinity and truth with boldness.
It was boldness reaching for boldness. It was the infirm reaching for the healing he desired from Jesus. He was reaching out to "authority" and he saw Jesus holding everything he needed.

So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you." 50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. 51 So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight." 52 Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus.

When I think of Jesus passing by, and He stopped upon hearing the blind man speak. Then Jesus command him to come to Him. Upon writing this, I was thinking of the Garden of Eden and the walk Adam had with God in the "beginning". 

We saw where God quieted the world in Chapter 1............"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (2) The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." (3) Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

There was chaos in Bartimaeus' life and it included much darkness. For whatever background he had, people had placed him near a place where the rich would frequent. He was placed where the hand-outs would come quickly and most likely they were of the very nature of the generous donation to the blind man, indeed!

But what he, Bartimaeus needed was light brought to him and it came when Jesus entered his darkness. And the very spark of life in His voice spoke to the death in his life. Bartimaeus quickly threw off that garment that spoke loudly of "BLIND MAN". He threw off what he did not need to gain what he could from Jesus. He was the expectant.

"What do you want Me to do for you?"  Then Bartimaeus spoke........ "Rabboni, that I may receive my sight."   Bartimaeus, called Him Master. This blind man was wanting to recover what was rightfully his. Others born had their sight. He was saying you are the Master, my sufficiency.

 He was experiencing the Holy Spirit on Jesus and that power made him come to the life that was truth and the way for his life.

A truth to remember: the blind had to move toward Jesus.........He is movement and is always going forward. We cannot expect to set up a tent and live in a place, expecting Jesus to show up every day or every other day to meet us at our lowest. If we have met Him and acted on His Word, then we have received something from Him, and we act. We do not revert to the "tent" or place we have set up to stay. His faith made him well. He acted and walked. He went with Jesus, where Jesus was going. He did not stay beside the road at Jericho.

Being reminded of the garden and the creation of man we think of that relationship Adam had with God.

From the garden we saw beauty, and we saw failure. Oh, not for God in God or from God, but in man!  Sad but true!

Yes, Adam fell from his place. From that stance of walking with God, he did not keep that watch to keep it going. And in that I recall that both he and his wife heard God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Ah, distractions will cost you something!

Genesis 3:8-9

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" NIV

It is interesting that they heard Him walking in the garden. Can you really hear someone walking on grass in a garden of lush vegetation? Interesting! But we find what the "walking" meant!

That walking in the garden..........walking is Strong's 1980.....halak and is................"behave"

in the garden......is Strong's 1588 .....is Greek........fenced garden......defended and protected.

When we truly seek the Lord and hold to His position as the Lord over our hearts, we are in that garden again, but this time in the new Adam which is Jesus Christ. In Him we have life eternally. We are to behave in that garden that is the defended and the protected.

Bartimaeus quickly followed Jesus when he received his sight. He threw away which the world had placed on him either by their own decisive plans or that which they did not understand at all , but in their own thinking merely placed a name tag on him as "the blind". The Lord Jesus will surely open our blind eyes, that which is physical and mental as well.  He will cause us to walk and in that which looks like one who is truly behaving in His garden that is rich with which is ours by believing, adhering to truth and abiding in Him. It is having trust in Him.

For the rich and famous, our wealth is found in Jesus. It is not found in marble palaces or in ornate rings and jewels that sparkly brightly. The wealth of this world is surely fading away, but His Word and truth will remain.

Hebrews 1:10-12

"You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,

And the heavens are the work of Your hands.  

11 They will perish, but You remain;

And they will all grow old like a garment;  

12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,

And they will be changed.

But You are the same,

And Your years will not fail."  

NKJV

We see something in Paul's preaching. He gave truth to those who came. But there were those who would not believe. They left.

Acts 28:24-27
24 Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe. 25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your forefathers when he said through Isaiah the prophet: 

26 "'Go to this people and say, 
"You will be ever hearing but never understanding; 
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving." 
27 For this people's heart has become calloused; 
they hardly hear with their ears, 
and they have closed their eyes. 
Otherwise they might see with their eyes, 
hear with their ears, 
understand with their hearts 
and turn, and I would heal them.'  NIV

In the King James Version, it reads this way.
Acts 28:27
27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. KJV

And that waxed gross has the meaning of rendering callous or to stupefy. It is 3975 Strong's....pachuno.
The NT is 4078,,,,pegnumi.......,,meaning to set up tent.

They are not moving anywhere. They are the stationary. They cannot see, they cannot hear, and they have no understanding. They choose not "to hear".

For those like Bartimaeus, he wanted to see with his eyes, hear with his ears, and understand with his heart and received that good part. He desired to receive that of which Jesus represented in His kingdom ..........that is of humility with one God, is of love and of mercy. For those who will not turn at His humility..........that merciful love.........they will not be the healed.

Psalm 101:1-6
I will sing of mercy and loving-kindness and justice, to You, O Lord, will I sing. 2 I will behave myself wisely and give heed to the blameless way-----O when will You come to me? I will walk within my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.
3 I will set no base or wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the work of them who turn aside [from the right path]; it shall not grasp hold of me. 4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil person or thing. 5 Who so privily slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off [from me]; he who has a haughty look and a proud and arrogant heart I cannot and I will not tolerate. 6 My eyes shall [look with favor] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks blamelessly, he shall minister to me.

Walking within our house is walking 1st and foremost with God. When we check in with Him, first we check ourselves for anything which should not be there. To be in the blameless way..........the perfect heart is a full heart committed to God.  It is the heart instructed in the things of God. It means having Christs thoughts and purposes in our heart.
Verse 4.....anyone who has a perverse heart, that indulges into their own glory, their own agendas, and has nothing of real growth potential from God's word for another will certainly come to nothing. One who truly recognizes truthful in another will be at peace with them. Those who carry chaos within their hearts, will only bring forth muddy waters that will just muddy up another person. When we are the behaved, we walk wisely. Our counsel is from God and Him alone. He then sends trusted people who counsel with Him as well. A person who feeds on God's faithfulness will recognize another as well!

Romans 2:6-11

6 God "will give to each person according to what he has done."  7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism. NIV


Romans 2:6-11 in the Amplified reads like this: 6. For He will render to every man according to his works [justly, as his deeds deserve]. [Psalm 62:12]  7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the eternal blessed of] immorality He will will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and self-willed and disobedient to the Truth but responsive to wickedness, there will indignation and wrath. 9 [And] there will be tribulation and anguish and calamity and constraint for every soul of man who [habitually] does evil, the Jew first, and also the Geek (Gentile). 10 But glory and honor and [heart] peace shall be awarded to everyone who [habitually] does good, the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile). 11 For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another] Deut. 10:17; 2 Chronicles 19:7

Those like Bartimaeus, who choose life will find the goodness of God. They will delight themselves in His goodness and dwell in peaceable habitations. They will reside in peace and quiet resting places. (Isaiah 32:18) One will certainly recognize peace, truth and mercy when the love one carries is God's kind of love. Bartimaeus recognized it and heeded His power.

Father thank You for Jesus. He is Life everlasting to us. We receive the Holy Spirit that is poured into us. We are thankful for fruitful fields that becomes the valued forest.(Is.32:15)May we be like Jesus who was not stationary. He did not reside outside the high priests gate or king's palaces, but was outside doing outreach to those in need of life everlasting. Truly we are the happy and the fortunate who seek the Lord, who dwell in Him always abiding on truth that is wisdom and light to us. May we be  those who will speak out in daily communication with the Lord and tell Him what we would like Him to do for us in regard to being able to see that which we cannot see at this moment. Lord, it is our desire to keep reaching and grow louder in reaching you although we know that you are not far from anyone of us, yet we desire like children to get excited and shout sometimes. May we always be the humble before You. May we always come and pray and seek You while we may. For we desire to please You our Father. In Your light we see light. It is in You we live, move and have our being.

"What can we do for You today our Father?" May it be to YOUR GLORY AND IN YOUR PRAISE. AMEN.

WHEN GOD PREACHED HIS NAME!

Matthew 5:8-10
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
NKJV

Was meditating early this morning on what the Word will do for us. I was reflecting on the early days of our hiking experiences in being long on walking and sight-seeing in the forest and short on remembering to bring enough water or that snack for the child. It is always looking over the next horizon to get another look of maybe a place no man has walked or even cared about viewing. So many hike just to exercise today. But there was a day when people just wanted to explore and view nature in the moment of life and existence. 

The hallmark for some today is just to walk downtown Seattle and leave some gum on a wall. Saw recently that they had to hot pressure wash the wall for days to get all the decades of gum off, and yet they will allow more people to place their gum on that wall. What is the reason for that? If you know, please leave a comment. I truly welcome knowing why they do that. 

But back to the hiking in the Rocky Mountains, I remember finding water in a nearby stream. Had no objection in thought of taking a sip or two from it. I mean this place was some 50-75 miles out in the Rockies. It was called the long scenic hike. I thought what if we took but a small sip. We were thirsty, you know! But today, no thanks!

Oh my, you read all that is exploded into the atmosphere, and then droughts in some areas of the country, all I can only see is that wildlife huddling up along a dense thicket near a cool, running stream of water. I am sure they keep watch if it is drying up and considering moving on to another watering hole.   Of course, my thoughts I consider today is what is going on in and around the wildlife and what said wildlife might be depositing in the water. And I drank from that back to nature stream so many years ago! Yuck! In the 1980's they talked of the Giardia in that water. And today there are other things as well, like if you are visiting Hawaii, do not drink from their streams either. They have parasites!

 What do we consider safe? What do we look at that we are content with or satisfied with to stay with and continue doing? 

From Matthew 5 and verse 8 we find that the pure in heart, shall see God! I was brought back to the scripture of Moses fleeing into the wilderness when he jumped the gun so to speak, killed an Egyptian and fled for his life to live alone. Being raised an Egyptian, he was raised by all their standards of life and culture. In Exodus 2:11 we see Moses grown up and he goes out to see how his brethren are doing. 

Exodus 2:11-15

11 Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?" 14 Then he said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!" 15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. 

NKJV

Yes, an unexpected hike out to the wilderness, but he found a well! Good deal, right? He has now moved from his biological family and from the adoptive family as well. He has moved from almost being destroyed as a child, to being hunted as a fugitive for doing what he thought was right in his own eyes, to living now among a new people. But that which God had placed in him was all the while still in effect and work in Moses. Read below.

Exodus 2:16-22

16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 18 When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How is it that you have come so soon today?" 19 And they said, "An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock." 20 So he said to his daughters, "And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread." 21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses. 22 And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, "I have been a stranger in a foreign land." 

NKJV

Then Moses was content to live with the man. In retrospect, was Moses already running from God? He could not live as the prince in Egypt.  We are told in Exodus 2 and verses 11-12 that he had gone to see the Hebrews of which that was his birthright. He looked on their burdens that they were in bondage to at the time. Yet, what was in his heart was not the way he actually dressed. Moses did not look like a Hebrew. Moses was dressed in that which looked like an Egyptian.  Verse 19 states................" the Egyptian delivered us from the hand of shepherds" and he drew water for them and for their flock. Moses had come to the rescue.

At this time, it was thought that there was little justice as those who delved into idolatry reveled in getting their own way. So too, at the well, those shepherds or those watering cattle probably came and anyone who might have been ahead of them OR first in line, were certainly driven away. The men or women who so produced the labor to get water into the troughs were used by those stronger and more able to use force. Yes, Moses now had another thought to contemplate. He had now had power over those who terrorized at the well! Though this stranger had come, shown up at a time when these daughters of Reuel certainly needed help, they tell their father everything when he questions them. It is then the father then asks his daughters where he the stranger was at? At the father's request Moses is welcomed to come and eat bread!

Exodus 3:1-12

3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, "I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn." 4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." 5 Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground." 6 Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 

7 And the LORD said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. 9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" 12 So He said, "I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain." 

NKJV

Yes, a lot going on here. Moses has left the good life or what looked probably like the good life to some with servants, killed a man, ran to the wilderness, and now is tending sheep for his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. My thought here is when if ever, did they know Moses to be a Hebrew? It is certain God commanded him to go to Pharaoh, to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. I wonder when did Moses change his clothing, his make-up and the hair-style. For the daughters of  Reuel (Jethro the Midianite), surely saw an EGYPTIAN.
The time in that wilderness area, probably caused him to change his clothes and hair, and become what God planned from the beginning.

We must remember that Moses was brought up to lead, and knew all the ins and outs of that government at the time. He had to face Pharaoh. He had " a mountain" before him.

Moses met destiny in the wilderness. He was called to lead a people who did not want to be led. They loved their meat, hated the wilderness and complained a lot!

Can you imagine leading someone who does not want to go? Can you imagine a million people all wanting to have their voice heard, and do not want to follow any one leader, but that which suits their own fancy?

Imagine now, a moment when you have followed God, obeyed His instructions and set to stay close to Him and hear like in verse 17 below: "Yes, I will do what you have asked, for you have certainly found favor with me, and you are my friend."

The turning point for Moses, is that moment when he saw God.

Exodus 33:12-23

12 Moses talked there with the Lord and said to him, "You have been telling me, 'Take these people to the Promised Land,' but you haven't told me whom you will send with me. You say you are my friend, and that I have found favor before you; 13 please, if this is really so, guide me clearly along the way you want me to travel so that I will understand you and walk acceptably before you. For don't forget that this nation is your people." 

14 And the Lord replied, "I myself will go with you and give you success." 

15 For Moses had said, "If you aren't going with us, don't let us move a step from this place. 16 If you don't go with us, who will ever know that I and my people have found favor with you, and that we are different from any other people upon the face of the earth?" 

17 And the Lord had replied to Moses, "Yes, I will do what you have asked, for you have certainly found favor with me, and you are my friend."  

18 Then Moses asked to see God's glory. 

19 The Lord replied, "I will make my goodness pass before you, and I will announce to you the meaning of my name Jehovah, the Lord. I show kindness and mercy to anyone I want to. 20 But you may not see the glory of my face, for man may not see me and live. 21 However, stand here on this rock beside me. 22 And when my glory goes by, I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed. 23 Then I will remove my hand, and you shall see my back but not my face." 

TLB

Exodus 34:1-9

34:1 The LORD said to Moses, "Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain." 

4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the LORD had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation." 

8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 "O Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes," he said, "then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as your inheritance." 

NIV

In Exodus 33 and verse 17: God calls Moses His friend!

In Exodus 33 and verse 19, Moses saw the glory. He was held back in the cleft of the rock and he saw God move before him. God preached to Moses that day and in that moment. God gave Moses a teaching on His name Jehovah. The Lord who showed kindness and mercy was giving Moses a download of the meaning of His name. It was the Great "I Am". In Exodus 34, we see where Moses obeyed God and chiseled out the two stone tablets. In obeying, he Moses, was to present himself to God the next morning. Moses carried the two stone tablets. The LORD God came down in the cloud and stood there with Moses. And He God passed before Moses proclaiming the LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. God also proclaimed that He does not leave the guilty unpunished; He punishes the children and their children for their sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation. Moses at once, bowed and worshiped. He had a teaching on God the LORD. And he replies with: "O Lord, if I have found favor in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take us as YOUR inheritance."

Moses found in all this that God was whatever Moses needed for himself and the people. Moses found that when God called him, He had provided the avenue that was the richness of God in mercy, truth and love.  For whatever streams we finding drinking from today, we surely need to find that which flows from the Love of God that is rich in His love and is compassionate. We may truly fall, but we are the forgiven. We may truly slip today in something, but God is abounding in faithfulness to His Word.

Matthew 5:8-10

8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
NKJV

As the pure we are those sanctified in the Word of God. And we hold it in our hearts. They will see God. Not those who spent money to view pornography for 2 1/2 hours, but those who cover their eyes of that which is depravity. Those who see God are those who listen and obey His directions. Those pure in heart, hold that Word and grow by it. When Moses saw the burning bush and it was not consumed, he turned to get a better look. And God spoke to Moses speaking, "Moses, Moses, take your sandals off, for the place where you stand is holy ground. I am the God of your father---the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." 

We then see Moses hide his face for fear of looking upon God. What expressive, and alive power Moses must have started to view and he became frightened. He became aware of himself and probably felt insignificant, yet God called him HIS friend!

Moses now humbled before God, the once Prince in the land of Egypt, now the sheepherder, was being called to lead a multitude. He was being called back to the front. Taking off his shoes, he was removing all that had gone before, all that defiled, and became the reverent when God spoke to him. Humility truly is a gift given from God Himself. For we certainly have nothing good that dwells within us. (Romans 7:18) In letting his past go, and humbling himself to obey, he was ready to receive straight from the Father of Lights, Whom from every good gift flows. The lower, or more humble Moses went, the more powerful the flow of God's presence through Moses and all that he did for God. One surely knew that God was with him.

The pure become the peacemakers before man. They can snuff out that which conflicts with God and truth every time they see it appear on the scene. They are qualified to stop any conflict or contention with dead, never to rear its ugly head again. For those persecuted like Moses from the very beginning of his birth, was going to see God face to face. He was going to behold His glory, and learn more from God than he ever could have learned in Pharaoh's court in several life times.

Moses lived most of his life in the wilderness. From birth, it looked like the devil was trying to kill him! Taken from his family to live in a palace and learn the ways of the Egyptians was a "big cost" to the family who cherished him. As it was, in Pharaoh's court, Moses was taught early by his mother who would nurse him and speak to him about God. Moses was the protected and served God's purposes!

What is your purpose? Where does your destiny with God reside? It will start in your heart where His peace resides, where you hear God preach about His name!

Father, You are the mysterious, the mighty, the Great "I am"! Lord God, it is in Jesus' name, I pray for us to have the ability to move in revelation and understanding of Your ways and purposes. I pray that none of us would be "satisfied with just our peeps, those things on T.V. or at the movies. I pray that we would be those who cry out for the Spirit of Truth. Lord, I pray that we be those who desire to communicate, who seek to touch hearts and lives with Your Word. May we be those who continually go to the Word and stir the fire in us, to pray for others, tells others of our Savior Jesus Christ and commit to make the difference. I not only pray for myself, but any who read this, that the spirit of blindness to be broken off our lives.  Help us to see what we need to see. Open YOUR Word to us continually Lord and may we experience that power everyday of our lives.

Help us to see when YOU are moving through a new pathway and that we will be receptive and quick to move to do "that thing YOU ask us to do!"  Lord, today we repent of doing things our way. We seek the path unhindered and unencumbered. We seek to hear YOU as YOU direct through those You send on our pathway.
Help us not to get in the pit of confusion, that according to Psalm 40:2 that is a place of "noise, uproar, tumult" as of waters, as of men and of war!
That Lord is the place of the dead who reside in graves and the place of destruction. No Lord, we pray to be out of pits and that of miry clay. We are those who have our feet upon the Rock of A firm standing.

Lord, we believe us to be those who walk on solid ground and directed by YOU to the place YOU have prepared for us. As we walk with YOU, our steps are ordered. We stand firm in our trust regarding our safety. You our Redeemer have ended our sorrows and moved of us out of the "danger zone". We pass on today expecting to take firm hold of instruction and to not let go.

According to .....Proverbs 4:13-19.........that we will not choose the path of wicked and will not walk the way of evil.
We avoid it and will not travel on it. Our path is like the shining sun that shines ever brighter to full light of the perfect day. We move to Your light and expect Your peace as we move forward to be  the communicators and the peacemakers for the Kingdom of God that has come. Amen.

An Empty Tomb

Matthew 28:1-10.............28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you." 8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me." NKJV


Jesus accomplished what He came to do for us!
"Do not be afraid.Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee and there they will see Me."

Do not be afraid little flock for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luke 12:32-34.............32 Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  NKJV

Do not fear, but hold on. Do not look back, but run forward with expectation. Do not act on the world's report, but hold the Word before you and experience the kingdom of God first hand.
Our participation is that of the relationship that comes by following and speaking as Jesus did with the Father. Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. Luke 4:21
What are we hearing? Is it the Word of God?

There is an EMPTY TOMB, and IT was heaving with life being given to Jesus to walk out what He believed and spoke. AND WHEN HE WALKED OUT, He was not wrapped in grave clothes!

All that He had given in all of His teachings to the disciples and the people proclaimed what He believed to be true! 

See, He has arisen. Has He arisen in our lives or ARE we still doing the same 'ole stuff? Has He arisen.........and the enemies be scattered.  Psalm 68:1-3.....Let God arise,

Let His enemies be scattered;

Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. 

2 As smoke is driven away,

So drive them away;

As wax melts before the fire,

So let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 

3 But let the righteous be glad;

Let them rejoice before God;

Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly. NKJV

Verse 4 of Matthew 28 tells us the guards became as dead men. They fell in fright, and fainted in the presence of God. But the righteous were glad. They were rejoicing. They were exceedingly glad of the events they saw manifested before their eyes! Those who knew not God fainted in the day of adversity.

Proverbs 24:10....10 If you faint in the day of adversity,  Your strength is small.  NKJV

adversity: trouble, distress

They fainted to see the glowing angel from heaven move a boulder out of the way! Not something someone would see everyday, but when God shows up, look out! They were not trained in the Word of God and they were not expecting anything as tremendous as this thing they saw!

Then those who were looking on, those expectant, those disciples ran to the city to tell others what had transpired. They had the "good report". Our expectation must not be bound in what we think it might look when it all comes together. When we are expecting something, we should look with God's eyes and not ours. We should look with the faith He has given us to stand with and know it is going to be "good". Never limit God with what you saw Him do for you last year or even last month. Because He is God, He can do more than we could ever actually think or ask. Seriously He did not need my help to create the universe. He did a great job without my help. so I know He can help do things for my family that I could not fathom, but I surely want to get that face mask on and dive deeper into the water of His Word and see His  glory revealed! I desire to participate in prayer and study to show myself approved to God, rightly dividing the word of truth. 

2 Timothy 2:14-18....14 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. NKJV

Christ Jesus gave a promise: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father”…(John 14:22) He was saying “ I am going back to the Father, but you will become the voice of God.” Christ is the Word of the Father, but we were to be that voice. Just as we saw Him speak to the devil (Matthew 4) by giving the Word of God, we are to speak, to voice what God has already said.

What happened in that empty tomb, was all that Word that Jesus spoke brought Him to and through the most horrifying thing as the Cross. The Holy Spirit brought Him out of the place of death and dying to the place of living, of life and of God! All that Word was wrapped up in power released to do the impossible!

So what do we need wrapped up in power today?

What are we expecting or seeking from the Lord? Have we wrapped up in the Word of God and loosed the Holy Spirit to have His way and see the miraculous for us, for our family, or how about for our neighbor?

Is there a tomb heaving at your house that is about to bring life out of deathbed situation? Is there life about to spring from a bad report of sickness, or job loss? Is there life about to spring forth in the new thing God has planned for you to do? Is all brought to the tomb to be buried ONLY to come alive NOW with the life of God and propel you into the greatest move of God for this time, for you and your family and never be the same in Jesus' name?

Jesus accomplished what He came to do for us!
"Do not be afraid.Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee and there they will see Me." 

Father, help us in Jesus' name to leave the tomb with the new thing You have for us to do! Help us to know that the best is on its way today much like giving birth to a new baby. For we know much comes from carrying a baby for nine months or even for ten months, but we come expecting that the best is yet to be for our family. In the time of those three days that tomb held His body dead with our sins,  locked behind a great boulder, most probably felt defeated. But You sent help from heaven for that to move. Your kingdom is in us today because of that one event. We stand with the Holy Spirit and loose HIM now to move that which has to move and may YOUR holy Word, come to pass for that which we are believing and standing for our loved one(s).......................(name or names here) .

Father, we are told to not be afraid but go and tell others that Jesus has arisen. He has arisen in our hearts and our lives. Today we ask that YOU guide us into the deeper move of YOU, into the fathom of the great love YOU gave in giving us YOUR Son Jesus. Help us to know that the more Word we speak, the more Word will we see the moving of GOD in our lives to YOUR glory and power on earth as it is in Heaven. We are thankful for the daily bread, that which sustains life. For we know YOU take care of our wants, but we give thanks for the Word of God and prayer as Jesus showed us as the example of a relationship devoted to YOU. May we express the beauty of YOU and speak as Jesus spoke over situations and people. We want to be people of power who know God and are active in the role of the parent who is active confessing and praying for children and other family members.

Today, it is Your reign we seek here for this prayer. It is Your power to accomplish what we believe YOU can do and which is that know only God can accomplish when we believe! And we give YOU  honor and much thanks for YOUR kingdom that has come. We celebrate the truth of YOU our God and know that YOU are our sufficiency.

We loose the Holy Spirit to take us deeper into YOUR Word Father and may He have His way to lead us to participate no matter the day or the hour. And may we hold on to that expectancy that God is never late, but is always on time. Amen.

High Risk!

It is late afternoon, and a white-tailed deer moves from the wooded area into the thicket. It is overflowing with high green grass and foliage to feast on. Yet, the deer peers around the surrounding open field, and steadily makes one step forward at a time into the inviting environment of beauty and food. As the deer raises it's head again to look around all the while sniffing for danger as he goes, he finds it safe to make another step into the center of the overgrown field to find his meal waiting. High risk!

A mother duck moves her young little ducklings in behind her and she walks to shore line of the river, but stopping abruptly, she raises her head and does a 180 degree check of the water and shoreline. Sensing danger, she quickly backs up her ducklings and heads them across the dry land as quickly as she can. High risk!

In another region of the world, a husky white polar bear comes over the dry land to look for fresh eggs and hatched young birds to feast on. He is very hungry and has not eaten in some time. The little birds, and owls are so small, so vulnerable,  and are in plain sight for the bear to see. The bear moves closer and closer to the round mounds of medium sized rocks that hold the nests for the little bird's babies, all the while the mama birds fly above and make a dive at the polar bear's nose to bring blood. After a two minute warning, and the bear's nose bleeding, he moves from the area filled with baby birds and fledglings. Yes, the babies are safe for now. High risk!

What in our lives do we consider high risk? Is there in any part of day of our lives that we would see as "high risk" and have a desire to try to avoid?
Of recent, I had to have blood drawn and I knew there was a possibility of some things going on with my blood. The blood I had, was known as having warm antibodies. But getting to the answer for the problem seemed clear. Blood is drawn, and the diagnosis is made clear. It was a diagnosis of severe anemia and no matching blood anywhere. High risk!
High risk became apparent because of the warm antibodies my blood carried!

But living in the kingdom of God is one that causes us to live by faith and not on the world's standards. My faith is in a God who is Alive and is for me!
With some tests out of the way, the one admitting Dr. comes into the hospital room at 3 a. m. to tell me the dangerous high risk of submitting to a blood transfusion. "There is no match" , he said. He used words like dangerous, detrimental, and HIGH RISK!

 I told him that he offered no other solutions and I needed the blood and I replied, " the paper was signed hours ago." He left the room and I praised God for His goodness to me in the darkness of the night, and I knew the sun was going to shine and bring a miracle to me!
Overnight and as hours and hours went by while men at the blood bank worked on building a blood from two different donors to get a blood to work for me, a nurse came in to say they were ready with a slow transfusion about 9 a.m.  Yes, it was truly a slow transfusion, as they had to run it for about 30 minutes at first, then take another blood draw to make sure I could take the new blood. They then started the transfusion again. And later that day I had been given both sets of blood without any side affects and problems to my body or my life!

Just one week ago, I experienced a miracle and continue to give God glory for His goodness to me in the land of the living. People would keep coming in to check on me and "see how I was doing'! They asked if I had any pain or side affects. I would respond "NO", "I feel wonderful" and "refreshed". I got up and walked and walked. I praised God everywhere I went and ministered to those in the hospital. The nurses, the blood technicians and even the CNA'S would come in and just watch me. It was an exciting time to show God in all His glory!
Just two days later and all tests out of the way, I am a healthy woman and looking forward to a long life. Just a walk through now with some meds, but it will end shortly and I know I will just become stronger and healthier each day because of God's guidance in His Word and His love for me!


Acts 4:7-12...................7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, "By what power or by what name have you done this?" 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'  12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." NKJV

When Jesus saved us, He saved our bodies............He sent His healing to us!
The Cross is the power of God for those who are being saved......1 Corinthians 1:18.

In receiving Jesus, we are regenerated into life and out of death. As we put on the "New Man" and being renewed in our minds to God's Word and His ways and thoughts, we come out of the grave of death, and defeat and move into the realm of Victory and are people who live by faith with trust in our God!
It is taking God's Word on healing, and raise the standard of our health. When we have sought out His word on healing as for salvation, our condition changes. WE reach forward by faith to receive what we are expecting!
It is a daily walk and receiving that Word that will build us up to receive that which we are expecting.

David said of the Lord; “My times are in Your hand;” (Psalm 31: 15). “Times” here means in the Hebrew; event, experiences, fortunes, occurrences, occasions, permanency, continuing future, ancient (used of past time), forever (used of future time; used of continuous existence)..forever (used of God's existence)

We are a mist, a moment in time, and all of our times are in His hand. All of my future and all of your future conditions, any occurrences are known to Him. It is so vital to stay close to the Creator, the one true God!

Psalm 62:5 ............    Find rest, O my soul, in God alone ;

my hope comes from him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7 he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

11 One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, 12 and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done. 

Psalms 66........................Shout with joy to God, all the earth!

2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!

3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!

So great is your power

that your enemies cringe before you.

4 All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you,

they sing praise to your name." Selah 

5 Come and see what God has done

how awesome his works in man's behalf!

6 He turned the sea into dry land,

they passed through the waters on foot--

come, let us rejoice in him.

Whatever the situation, the circumstance is under our feet! We can cross on dry land and continue to rejoice in Him!

Nothing escapes His watchful eye. (Hebrews 4:13) God is familiar with all of our ways. Before a word is on our tongue He knows it. (Psalm 139:4) Our past, our current and our future, God holds it all in His capable, eternal  hands. He holds it all in His healing capable hands. 

Being reminded of the coming time of Passover and Good Friday, I think on His nail scared hands, and body shredded by blows to wound and to kill, that clearly displayed to us His inexpressible love, grace and forgiveness when we have gone our own way!  Truly our times are in His hand.
We cannot glorify God in a sick body, but we certainly can glorify Him walking through to victory and keep an expectant heart for "THE MIRACLE". 

I am thankful and give Him my praise for truly He has saved me, delivered me and healed my body!

Be encouraged today and know God is on your side. Just stay close and He will show you the way in which you are to walk! "A MIRACLE IS ON ITS WAY TO YOU TODAY!" I BELIEVE THAT HONESTLY AND TRULY.

Father, I love You and thank You that You are my Father God. It is Your Word that gives me life! It gives me strength, and builds me up to guide me every day of my life! Your Word is settled in heaven forever. YOUR Word is lamp unto me feet and a light unto my path. It is in Jesus' name that I pray for all who read this and may need a helping hand into victory today. Lead all into Your perfect love and peace as You are our shield and glory, the Lifter of our heads. It is You Who sustains us and Your blessing is upon us. Father, to me the higher risk is not following YOU!

 So right now, we praise with joyful lips and rejoice in YOU! Today in prayer we magnify You with thanksgiving and rejoice at the healing Word of God. For we have truly found a great treasure in Your Word. Thank You for Your unfailing love. A love that is unconditional. Thank You that we might know how vast Your love truly is to us. We are thankful for the shed Blood of our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ! We are thankful for the Son You sent to us so we could be a part of Your family. For whatever sins we hold, we repent right now and ask Your forgiveness. We come to give You glory and give thanks for all that You are doing in our lives. We pray that we would be men and women who would hold onto You and by faith receive the promise we are believing for right now!

Father, You deserve our praise, and we say Amen to HIM who has given us life in abundance. We say Amen to HIM who created us with a plan and purpose for life and not for death and sickness. Amen to Jehovah Adonai, Who is same yesterday, today and forever. Amen.
