Is There Life In It?

Mark 4:17 but they have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the Word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

It’s a stump, y’all!

No roots. Has had no roots for almost 6 months and green sprouts keep coming, but they don’t last. What am I getting at here? This: The LIFE OF GOD is only in people ROOTED in CHRIST JESUS. And His counsel to us is Don’t be fooled, Little Flock.

Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in Heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that Day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils, and in Thy name done many wonderful works?’

23 And then will I profess unto them, ‘I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.’

In these days of hypocrisy run a muck we must be alert, discerning and bold to speak the truth in love.  I cannot too strongly urge you to diligently pray over your families particularly in regards to the people, doctrines, organizations and movements they take to their bosoms. Let us be reminded the Evil One parades himself as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11;13-15) and we must come against him with effectual, fervent prayer.

ABBA, I ask You to minister Your Word as You will in JESUS name.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

That’s it.

That’s the first verse of the morning. It came to me early, even before opening my Bible. It came as I was already recounting something in my mind that I don’t have.  It came as a promise, but it also came as correction to me and I am grateful. Grateful for His tender watch-care over His little girl who He loves. And since I am writing this here, He is saying it to someone out there too.  :)

All these things shall be added to you. 

What things?

Well, what does ALL include?

Peace of mind? For sure.
Food, clothing, shelter, transportation? Without a doubt.
A balanced budget? Yep! that too.
Wisdom to deal with the hard stuff? Absolutely!
A way out of that temptation? You got it!
How about real practical stuff – like that sink of dishes; that pile of laundry; that required reading; that required writing; painting that wall; picking up that pile of rubbish; decluttering that corner . . .

What else?

What does ALL include? :)

But for the ALL we must do the FIRST.  And HE even helps us with the FIRST!  We must only choose.

ABBA, in this moment we are choosing; and we ask for the want to to choose You again in the next moment too. Thank You, JESUS, for Your Righteousness – You have made this offer and You have paid the price for it. Thank You.
And I am remembering Richard this morning – his surgery, so serious, ABBA, it has been a long haul for him and for Jeri and I pray today’s surgery will be the remedy to restore him; I ask You for a text-book perfect surgery and recovery for him and for peace for Jeri and holy company as she waits. All our others who are sick and afflicted we bring as friends bring friends to You for healing and as a father waits for his prodigal to come home we wait for our rebellious and even oblivious Ones to return. Israel, I pray for Your Peace for them and for the subduing of all Her enemies. 
America. Please save us, ABBA. Please help us more forward by returning to You FIRST.

and read what Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A actually said.  As I have read various articles and comments, I’ve read a lot of vain babblings from reprobate minds and I’ve read the well intentions of others to defend. I wanted to enter the debate as well but  – well, let me be blunt: ‘casting my pearls before swine’ is not profitable for them or me.

3 If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes over words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions,

5 perverse disputings by men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness. From such withdraw thyself.
