Wouldn’t it be good?

Leave a comment

We are here tonight thinking it would be really good if the Body of Christ, the Remnant, would pray for Healthcare Workers losing their jobs because they made an informed decision about their own health care.
Could we, would we think about what we would need in their situations and pray earnestly for those things, that The LORD of Heaven will provide those very things to them?
And as we pray may it be that HOLY SPIRIT will lead those who can to reach out and help as He provides means and opportunity.

1 Corinthians, 2021, A 2021 Snippet, Jeremiah

Double Down

2 Comments

If you get to thinking I really messed up this time, read this verse.

Jeremiah 3:22 (NLT)
22 “My wayward children,” says the Lord,
    “come back to me, and I will heal your wayward hearts.”
“Yes, we’re coming,” the people reply,
“for you are the Lord our God.  source

And for some double down, we need this:

1 Corinthians 1:26-31  (NLT)
26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. 
27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 
28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 
29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.  
31 Therefore, as the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”  source

We all mess up.
We are imperfect.
He knew that when He called us to be His own.
He knew exactly what He was getting when He asked to be YOUR SAVIOR and MINE. 
That in and of itself should cause us to love HIM more and more. 

And think about this.
Think about the one who loves you more than anyone else on earth.
What happens when you mess up?
They forgive you and their love for you does not even come close, not even light years close to HIS LOVE FOR YOU.

So draw near to the ONE who loves you most.
Double down with Scripture. Double down with praying.

Hidden For Now

Leave a comment

I’ve heard a few say that all that is hidden will be revealed. 
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Especially when we are referring to political corruption.
I would love it!!

It’s a Bible quote. 1 Corinthians 4:5
I don’t think it is the promise they hope.
Let’s read it. 

See those words: Before the Lord returns? 
This text sounds to me like we are only promised full disclosure when all is said and done and we have vacated the planet – perhaps at the time of the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Throne Judgment. 
I think some evils and their doers just might be hidden a little longer than we think. Or not. Time will tell. 

After all, it’s been 57 years since the assassination of JFK and we still don’t know for CERTAIN who killed him.  BUT GOD does and He keeps perfect records. 
We can rest easy, all will be revealed in His time.
