Chicken

Today is support Chick-fil-A day.  It has been my prayer this morning that all 1600 stores will have a most successful day; that the Army of the LORD will show up in numbers and enjoy lots of chicken today. May the Body of CHRIST be bold in love and truth. May the Body of CHRIST be not ‘chicken’ today to reflect the LIGHT.

For sure. For sure it is DARKNESS that took, added to, and twisted the words of Dan Cathy for the purpose of calling attention to the deeds of reprobate minds. And in case you missed my post FYI click  HERE to read it now.

1 John 1:4-6 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5 This then is the message which we have heard from Him and declare unto you: that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

via 1 John 1:4-6 KJ21 – And these things write we unto you, – Bible Gateway.

You may recall our prayers on the 30th for Richard and Jeri.  Richard’s surgery was a success! We are expecting a complete recovery and to our GREAT GOD will give glory and praise and thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff for being instruments in His hands of healing.

ABBA, thank You, thank You for Richard’s healing and for the skill and care of medicine. Another is having surgery today too and we ask for textbook perfect results today as well. And today  I pray that not one child who You have re-birthed will be cowardice or arrogant as we support this family business that has named Your Name. LORD JESUS, even as the unregenerate mind did not understand You when You cleansed the Temple, today they still do not understand and they continue to reject You. Thank You for continuing to love them anyway and thank You for continuing to hate the sin. I pray that blinded eyes will be opened and Your Gospel will dawn upon those groping in darkness. We continue to bring our sick and afflicted, our rebellious and oblivious to You for healing and rescue. I continue, ABBA, to pray for Your beloved Israel, asking for Your Peace to be upon them and for You to subdue their every enemy and, DADDY GOD, for America I pray You will be merciful; raise up Statesmen and Heroes of Your Gospel and save this Nation I pray.  Thank You, ABBA.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

via Matthew 6:32-34 KJ21 – (For after all these things do the – Bible Gateway.

That’s it.

That’s the first verse of the morning. It came to me early, even before opening my Bible. It came as I was already recounting something in my mind that I don’t have.  It came as a promise, but it also came as correction to me and I am grateful. Grateful for His tender watch-care over His little girl who He loves. And since I am writing this here, He is saying it to someone out there too.  :)

All these things shall be added to you. 

What things?

Well, what does ALL include?

Peace of mind? For sure.
Food, clothing, shelter, transportation? Without a doubt.
A balanced budget? Yep! that too.
Wisdom to deal with the hard stuff? Absolutely!
A way out of that temptation? You got it!
How about real practical stuff – like that sink of dishes; that pile of laundry; that required reading; that required writing; painting that wall; picking up that pile of rubbish; decluttering that corner . . .

What else?

What does ALL include? :)

But for the ALL we must do the FIRST.  And HE even helps us with the FIRST!  We must only choose.

ABBA, in this moment we are choosing; and we ask for the want to to choose You again in the next moment too. Thank You, JESUS, for Your Righteousness – You have made this offer and You have paid the price for it. Thank You.
And I am remembering Richard this morning – his surgery, so serious, ABBA, it has been a long haul for him and for Jeri and I pray today’s surgery will be the remedy to restore him; I ask You for a text-book perfect surgery and recovery for him and for peace for Jeri and holy company as she waits. All our others who are sick and afflicted we bring as friends bring friends to You for healing and as a father waits for his prodigal to come home we wait for our rebellious and even oblivious Ones to return. Israel, I pray for Your Peace for them and for the subduing of all Her enemies.  America. Please save us, ABBA. Please help us more forward by returning to You FIRST.

Already All Ready

2 Peter 1: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

via 2 Peter 1 NASB – Growth in Christian Virtue – Simon – Bible Gateway.

HAS GRANTED!

Did you see that? has granted.  My Friends that is past tense! He has already done it!

EVERYTHING, PERTAINING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS!

Everything YOU and I need today to live this life in godliness He has already granted! We don’t have to beg Him for it. We don’t have to cry and plead and beg and wonder if He will. He already has!

YOU already have ALL you will need today to do this day RIGHT.

Me too.

But there is a catch.

We have to APPLY His ALREADY ALL READY provision in the moment of our need.

And we CAN do that today.  It’s our choice.

And, ABBA, as I get up from here moving quickly as the morning is well on its way and much is lined up to do, thank You for this word from Your Word. By Your Grace we will be applying it in JESUS name and for His sake as well as our own and others. We bring our sick and afflicted asking that You heal them. Our rebellious and oblivious, thanking You for pursuing them, trusting they will yet stop and allow You to redeem them. Israel, always praying for Your Peace upon Her and in Her. America, save us, ABBA. Save us in JESUS name.

Just Asking. . .

I John 4:16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

via 1 John 4 NASB – Testing the Spirits – Beloved, do not – Bible Gateway.

I wonder what this day would be like if you and I believed – I mean REALLY believed that GOD, THE GOD of this Universe LOVES us – I mean REALLY loves us.

What would REALLY believing that do for our respect for ourselves and others?

What would it do for our words when someone cuts us off in traffic?

What would it do for us when the pantry is as low as the checking account?

What would it do for us when her fever is 104 degrees and the doctors don’t know why?

What would it do for us when he is a cheater and seems to be getting by with it?

What would it do for us when she lies and yet gets the promotion and we don’t?

And the ‘what would it do-s’ could go on and on.  You have a few in mind yourself, don’t you?

So why don’t we believe more?

What would it take for us to believe more?

And will we do what it takes?

Just asking.  Who’s answering?

I’m asking ABBA. Asking and believing that You, HOLY SPIRIT, are speaking this morning and You are enabling every seeking, honest heart to believe. To believe more deeply Your love for us. And in that believing we will be changed; that hope and faith, love and compassion will grow in us and in the growing of these things Your Joy will abound in us; for our own well-being and that of others and Your Kingdom, ABBA.  We would not forget You have invited, even commanded us to bring our sick and afflicted for prayer, asking You, LORD JESUS, to heal them and restore them. And as many times before the rebellious and oblivious we bring, trusting You to pursue them until they surrender to Your LORDSHIP.  I pray for Israel, for Her peace and the subduing of all her enemies, for Her protection and well-being, for strategic wisdom, all that is needed for Her to have the peace and provisions that You have promised. And I pray for America. ABBA, please save this Nation. Surely there are 10 righteous that You will spare and save America for Your Name Sake.
