A most important word.
Full of power and comfort.
When used in conjunction with Scripture.
2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, source
When renegade thoughts invade with intent, stop is a refuge for deliverance.
Just that simple word spoken with the authority of the Blood of JESUS will shut the mouths of lions seeking YOU to devour.
Say it out loud.
Experience casting down those crippling, haunting, malicious thoughts. Stop.
1 Peter 5:8(NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.source
Stop!
Use it today.
You will surely need it.
I did.
That’s how I was prompted to share it with you this morning.
Father GOD, there is no one we can with full confidence believe other than You. The world is filled with Liars and Opportunists – none of them can we safely trust. It is hard to live in this world of Sin. There was a time when life here was more desirable but corruption is abounding and there is NO ONE on earth to save us. There is None good, no not one You said and I believe You. You said the death of your saints is precious in Your Sight. I understand that more and more now. Yet I am still here as are many of Your Children and because we are, we are crying out to You for some early justice. We understand and accept The Great White Throne is yet to be. We understand the Bema is yet to be and we await those days, but for now, in the here and now, we petition You with all our hearts asking You to avenge us – we dare not do the avenging ourselves but ask that You please by Your Very Own Hand strike down long-standing evil in America and give us an extended space of grace with signs and wonders to deliver the Saving Gospel to the few it would seem who are interested in turning from death to LIFE. I long to see You come and show us Your Kingdom on earth. Satan and those who do his bidding have corrupted this place until it is barely inhabitable for Your Children. It is only by Your grace that we can bear staying here. But since we are we desire to do some good and we desire to stand against and push back the darkness and the evil that is running rampant. Please help us submit to You and resist the evil. Please fortify us Holy Spirit. Fill us and engage us in the message of Salvation to every soul who desires to hear and be saved from the wrath that now is and is yet to come. Amen and amen in the name of Adonai Yeshua.
Romans 3:10-18 (NKJV) 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; 11 There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12 They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” 13 “Theirthroat is an opentomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; 14 “Whosemouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” 15 “Theirfeet are swift to shed blood; 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways; 17 And the way of peace they have not known.” 18 “Thereis no fear of God before their eyes.”source

A Fireplace. I’m giving thanks for a fireplace that never worked properly and now ceases to work at all, for a fire that is. However, it is excellent at housing candles and treasures. The treasures of a little boy, just over 2 wonderful years of age. Little Man thrills to pull aside the curtain and hid plastic eggs. I leave them there. Yes. This no longer wood-burning fireplace brings me many smiles and warms my heart.
Matthew 6:21 (NKJV) 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.source
Proverbs 2:7(NLT) 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.source
2 Corinthians 4:7(TLV) 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, so that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God and not from ourselves.source
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
