2020, Copy Paste Chew Again, Guests, You Tubes

I Reckon, Again.

Leave a comment

I used to on occasion re-post my older devotions; back then a blank day of posting just couldn’t be. I’ve had many blank days since September 16, 2015.
So just for the good of it, here’s a repeat.

I reckon.

That’s what I heard Charles say. Charles Billingsley. I was watching/listening to a You Tube. Charles was in concert at a church in Macon, Georgia. And right about 30 minutes in he was encouraging the congregation and he said reckon. And I was off!

Reckon. (Click here for Webster’s definition)

Some would say that’s a pretty southern word. It’s a godly word too. The Scripture passage I was thinking of was Romans 8:18. There Paul utilized it as an accounting term. Reckon. Count it. Count it as so. By the way in the KJV you will find Reckon 33 times. Here’s a link in case you want to check it out. HERE

Romans 8: 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [source]

And so we count and if we count it so, I reckon that reckoning will change how we live. And I reckon, I need to do some reckoning.

I reckon. Seriously smiling here. :)

Now. One more thing and I’ll press publish.

That Charles Billingsley you tube? You got an hour and 28 minutes?  I reckon it’s worth every minute I’ve invested. Perhaps you will too.

And a bit (translation: a few minutes) before the I reckon, he sings a song, and a certain portion of the lyrics is this: You wrapped my soul inside Your Arms.  I don’t know about you but upon hearing those words I was wrapped in love this morning; and not just me but I saw in those words my Girls wrapped in His Arms too. Don’t you reckon some worship was going on? :)

I reckon I better close this epistle. :)

Until Next Time  ~ ~ ~ Kathie

Absolutely Comfortably Confident

Absolutes
There are absolutes in our world and they are ALL related to The Creator GOD.
These absolutes are HE HIMSELF and those things which He has decreed.

From the Bible, many doctrines have been preached, discussed, and debated. One of those is the Calling Up of The Followers of YESHUA.

It is absolutely a doctrine of Scripture and I am absolutely sure that I do not know the nanosecond it will happen. I think it could be any day and I think it could be a while yet. I do not know. But it is certain.

I also have another opinion. Am I absolutely certain of it? No. But I am comfortably confident.

I see The Calling Up, the Rapture, as it has been called for centuries as a point in time when GOD gives Self-worshippers and devil-worshippers what they think they want: NO CHRISTIANS ON EARTH.
Why do they think they want that?
It’s simple really.
Real Christians remind them they are sinners in need of a Savior and that is an absolute that they absolutely do not want to hear.
And so when Self-worshippers and devil-worshippers have reached a level of hatred for GOD that can no longer be given the abiding grace of GOD, He will give them what they think they want – a world without Christians.
But being the GOD He is He still desires to save so at the appointed time He will raise up Two Witnesses to preach His Gospel and even Angels will deliver the Gospel to the Peoples of the earth who have been moved by the Wrath of GOD to accept the Grace of GOD.

You see in this time we now live it is the KINDNESS of GOD that leads people to repentance (look it up. That’s what the Bible says) but when CHRISTIANS are removed, His Wrath that has spoken to any who will give an ear will lead some to salvation and it will cost them their heads.
A price they will gladly pay. As in those days, death will be welcomed over continuing to live here.

Am I absolutely sure of that? Absolutely.

Romans 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  source

It’s Your Business

Gallery Leave a comment

It’s been brewing for years; and the hand on the knob is turning up the heat particularly now I believe.
You’ve often heard people say as I have “don’t judge me.” Or perhaps “Mind your own business”, or “Worry about your own sins, God ain’t gonna ask you about mine.”

I am here to offer According to Matthew 28:16-20, I am expecting He will.
I am expecting Him to ask why we didn’t love people enough to lead them out and away from sin.
Why we didn’t make Him know to all the world as He told us to do.

But let us be encouraged. Folks are only touchy about sin if they are under conviction.
So give thanks.
Give thanks that He is still speaking to them.
Keep pressing in with prayer, listen carefully, speak in love as The HOLY SPIRIT leads.
Keep loving people.
Pray for boldness.
Pray for the HOLY SPIRIT to increase conviction upon those you love and be ready to give them the reason for your hope as these days get darker.

I don’t recall who said it but it is still with me:
Being grateful is good but it’s not the same as giving Thanks.

First Drink

Just a quick, short thought to share this morning. Admittedly, taken out of context and lifted from the situation.  

Job 8:11-12 (AMP)11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes or reed grass grow without water?  12 “While it is still green (in flower) and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water].source


I know little about papyrus (perhaps I’ll go to Duck, Duck Go a little later and read up on it) but without water, it withers faster than other vegetation. That’s what the verses say.

So do I. So do we. Without the Water of The Word, we wither quickly — before morning coffee if The Water of The Word is not our First Drink.

Good Wednesday Morning . . .

Update.
From Britannica

Papyrus, writing material of ancient times and also the plant from which it was derived, Cyperus papyrus (family Cyperaceae), also called paper plant. The papyrus plant was long cultivated in the Nile delta region in Egypt and was collected for its stalk or stem, whose central pith was cut into thin strips, pressed together, and dried to form a smooth thin writing surface.
