That Doesn’t Sound Right!

Matthew 10: (KJV) 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.  source

How many of you, me included, have read this verse and scratched your head thinking, this does not sound like the JESUS that has been preached to me for, well, all my life?

Well, y’all if you will watch this you will find an answer that works!

If you are pressed for time at this very reading moment you can skip to 21:28 in the video BUT please, please watch and hear it all.

Happy Friday!

2018, Job, Psalms, Romans

That Much!

Laundry.
Laundry room.
Adding lavender and lemon to improve the organic smell. Shake.
And that’s what I have left from a new, not one load used bottle. Yep. I dropped it on our ceramic floor, off flew the top and out came . . . that much!

A while later and I am here. Better than I was.

I have this to say Remember Job. Now before you go laundry room ballistic on me this is N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Nothing! in comparison but it did bring me to board a thought train that has taken me to a good place. A place to praise JESUS while on my knees mopping up that ceramic floor and to share this with you.

Remember Job.
What I want you to remember is that Satan did NOTHING to Job; took NOTHING from Job, afflicted Job with NOTHING, NOTHING until he received permission from DADDY GOD!

No laundry room mishap or the worst of all tragedies that could ever hit our souls comes to the Child of GOD without the Father’s permission. 

Remember Job. And remember

Psalm 84 KJV 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. source

Romans 8: (TLV) 32 He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is the one who condemns? It is Messiah, who died, and moreover was raised, and is now at the right hand of God and who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? source

Remember Job. Remember Psalm 84:11. Remember Romans 8:32-35.  And Remember the Devil’s End and remind him from time to time.  :)

2018, Deuteronomy, Exodus, Joshua

Sore Thumb

The Hebrews left Egypt by the Hand of the Lord and in time came to the Promised Land.  (See Exodus 12 and Joshua 4)

And then there is Deuteronomy 6: 23.

23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors.  source

And now centuries upon centuries, here we are.

It is my considered opinion that the Promised Land is not figuratively or comparatively or any other ly, Heaven.

We were not delivered from Egypt (or shall we say hell) straight into Heaven – Heaven is a PROMISED LAND to us but the promised land of Scripture does not sound like Heaven to me – It’s full of giants, enemies, sickness, diseases, miracles, victories, memorials and accomplishments and the list goes on.  From salvation to Heaven we pass through a land, foreign and hostile, yet with His Promises for every step we make. He brought us out not for us to do our own thing but to learn His Ways (so we will not stick out like a sore thumb in Heaven when we get there :) ) and in the mean time have one holy blast of adventure after another until we arrive HOME. O! the stories Joshua will have to tell us when we all get to Heaven! Come to think of it! I want some stories of my own! Stories of victories and miracles and giants slain and sicknesses healed and folks delivered!

How’s your journey so far? Still working on that sore thumb image? Me too!
