Solving the World’s Ills

Gallery Leave a comment

Sharing in the pain of a friend today, I came to this conclusion about the ills of the world, families and even churches:

What a mess! And you know what, all the world’s relationship breaches could be resolved if ALL the people would just continually practice Ephesians 4:32.
ABBA, is so SMART and we the people in our unrepentant states are too evil and stupid to listen to Him. And there you have it, my summary of the world’s plight!

In King James English:

Ephesians 4:32

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Or Complete Jewish Bible; the command is the same:

Ephesians 4:32

32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted; and forgive each other, just as in the Messiah God has also forgiven you.

Woe be unto us if we continue the path of waiting for the other person to forgive first; if our hearts were right with GOD we would be in a race to see who could forgive first.

ABBA, please forgive me when I am stubborn and stiff-necked and mold me into a person who races to forgive.

Guests, You Tubes

First

I visited a bit this evening with a dear blog sister, Elaine, at Peace for the Journey. Click HERE and read her post.  It is her post that prompted me to go looking for the you tube featured below.  Let the words transport you to a place of worship. In particular note these words: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

ABBA, this is my prayer that You High King of Heaven be FIRST in my heart; truly be in my words and practice, Thou my Treasure now and forever.  Thank You for songs so beautiful that lead us to worship You. Thank You for all the huge and smaller things You are doing in our lives. I am reminded of the Billy Graham telecast just a few weeks away; thank You for such a servant as he is and I pray this endeavor will bring the harvest of souls that You desire. I pray we will be pliable in Your Hands and will do as You will to assist in sharing this telecast with others. I am again bringing Bella, Carolyn, Jamie, Teri and family, Dori, and other situations to You, confessing we need Your help and we desire that You heal and restore these. And in truth, ABBA, these named are only a small number of the names and faces that I bring now asking You for mercy and grace. Holy Spirit, keep us ceaselessly praying for others, always in the Mighty Name of YESHUA.

2 Corinthians 4:

6 For it is the God who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.

Faint

Gallery Leave a comment

My intentions for this post was a quick word from THE WORD to encourage us to NOT faint or be weary in this culture and season of our respective journeys. Some of us are newer in our journey than others; but weariness is no respecter of persons. :)

Galatians 6:9

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

And as I keyed in faint at Bible Gateway dot-com more than the expected Galatians passage appeared.  And I wondered if  our word FAINT was the same for each passage; so I next visited Bible Study Tool dot-com  to use the Hebrew and Greek Lexicon which can be accessed at the tab Interlinear Bible.

And so my word to you from THE WORD today is lean in on ABBA today so you do not grow weary; so you do not faint and as you study THE WORD check out those Hebrew (Old Testament) and those Greek (New Testament) words. It will be enlightening!

So what does the FAINT in Galatians 6:9 mean? (It’s not the same faint as in Ephesians 3:13.)

Click HERE and see (for Galatians 6:9) it is akin to the marriage covenant. So let us keep  ‘covenant’ with the HOLY SPIRIT who seals us; let us make the decision to not step out on Him and give into our flesh of doubts and frustrations and fears and weariness of putting up with this mess; keep leaning on Him, keep believing Him, keep trusting Him and we will see His reward in due time.

Warning! This bites! When we as followers of JESUS, decide to go with our feelings, our flesh instead of staying in trust, walking in the SPIRIT, we have become unfaithful to our LORD in that decision. Praise HIM! Praise HIM! That He forgives and brings us back to the path of discipleship!

1 John 1:9

9 If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.

Well, Friends, it was not quick or short but I hope it is encouraging.  May ADONAI bless you and keep you and make His Face shine upon you. Numbers 6:24-27.

Thank You, ABBA.  Thank You.
Thank You for good reports for Bella! Thank You for Carolyn’s improved condition. Thank You for loving us; never leaving us, never forsaking us and always having great plans for us for safety, protection, well-being and when the time is right HOME with You. Thank You JESUS for saving us now and forever.
