Places 2

Day 74
292 days remaining after today.

I’m awake when I don’t want to be and inspiration has escaped me too, at least for the moment so I am borrowing from myself. :)

Places – Posted on March 21, 2012

While praying for someone especially close and dear, I thought of you all. It’s a hope in JESUS for you that is possible and in my thinking so desirable.

That your homes  be places in which JESUS is the welcomed and loved King; places filled with prayer and praise; where the Bible is treasured, is the most read of all books and is consistently obeyed; where laughter is abundant and love prevails. Places where reason replaces shouting matches; where chaos is banished and order is welcomed; where cooperation replaces bickering and unhealthy competition. Seems idyllic, doesn’t it? Yet JESUS makes it possible.   Let us pray for it till we get it!

Isaiah 32: 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.

18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings and in quiet resting places
via Isaiah 32 KJ21 – Behold, a King shall reign in – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, thank You. It has not been the morning I planned but I am blessed that it is still well with my soul; I praise You and You alone for that. Thank You. And, HOLY SPIRIT, as I think about this home-life description, it does seem idyllic, perhaps like an impossible dream to some, but day by day, step by step progress can be made; You can be welcomed in a moment as KING and Your Presence can be learned and practiced. Make it so for each soul, each home, that comes here to pray. Thank You for each One, attend them today I pray. We have many matters in mind, some sitting heavy on hearts — You know them least I name them here; least others name them; You know and we thank You for knowing; knowing what is needed; knowing how to position souls to say yes and it is for that we pray; that souls will say yes to You and yield to the homes You have for us. We continue to remember the political arena and personally, ABBA, I am asking You for mercy and revival for us all. I am asking You to rain down grace to repent. I am asking You, HOLY SPIRIT, to convict and convince of sin, of righteousness and judgement to come; as Prophets of Old pleaded for mercy and repented of sin, so do we, ABBA.  Encourage the weary I pray, heal the sick and restore the fallen and let us enter into this Work with You, resting wholly and solely on the merits of JESUS our Savior.

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,

Promises for our Day

Day 63
303 days remaining after today.

Psalm 32:8  (NIV)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. [source]

Who of GOD’s children does not need this encouragement today? These promises?!

I will instruct you. 
Surely there is something today about which we need instruction. (If nothing else, what to do with this stuff :) yes I am still dealing with the stuff)

And teach you
Not only does He give us instruction but He teaches us how to operate those instructions! How good is that? That is so much better than a lecture of instructions from someone who leaves you then to figure out the rest on your own.

In the way you should go
He NEVER leads us astray. His path for each of us, individually, is perfectly suited for us; for our strengths and our weaknesses, our passions and our dislikes. He chooses the path for us that will bring out the best in us; our part is to believe and follow.

I will counsel you 
And not just any counsel, but counsel we can trust because that counsel comes from the One who always perfectly loves us; always keeps His loving eye on us.

Psalm 32:8  (NIV)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. [source]

Keep it close today.

How Huge is That?

Day 61
305 days remaining after today.

First off never allow it to escape your mind that YESHUA came here 100% man, 100% GOD.

Let it comfort and fortify you that He gets it! He knows what it is to be human!

Where am I going with this?

First let me tell you where it started.

I picked up my Journey Magazine, March edition, because I couldn’t find my February and because it is the last day of February I chose to read Cafe Connection, an extra feature, not one of the daily devotions for the month of March. Beth Moore is the writer of this particular feature and she wrote of the LORD as He was saying on the cross, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.”  That is HUGE, y’all. Huge!

Get this: JESUS had never died before!  Have you ever had to do something you have never done before? Of course you have. Have you ever wondered how am I going to do this? Yep. Me too. The answer for us is the same as for JESUS. By Faith!

I told you it was HUGE!

There on the cross when His blood was nearly spent, YESHUA knew it was time, time for Him to die. Time for His inhaling, exhaling, hearing, seeing, tasting, feeling, touching – all those human body things to cease. His human journey was ending. You see the SON chose to trust the FATHER. He chose to believe that when He closed His eyes and His human heart stopped pumping that His Spirit would continue to live and that in three days His body and Spirit would come together again. JESUS chose to trust the FATHER to make it happen. That’s faith, Folks. Simple Faith. Just believe the FATHER.

Our human journeys shall come to an end as well. He gets that! He did it already! The way we will: by faith. Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.

Whatever it is. Whatever we are facing today – He knows! He’s done it! We can trust Him!

Hebrews 7:25-27  (CJB)

25 and consequently, he is totally able to deliver those who approach God through him; since he is alive forever and thus forever able to intercede on their behalf. 26 This is the kind of cohen gadol that meets our need — holy, without evil, without stain, set apart from sinners and raised higher than the heavens; 27 one who does not have the daily necessity, like the other cohanim g’dolim, of offering up sacrifices first for their own sins and only then for those of the people; because he offered one sacrifice, once and for all, by offering up himself.  [source]

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. [source]

John 8:29 (KJV)

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. [source]
