Both

Good Morning IDOKs!

Luke 1: (New International Version, ©2011)
6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. via Luke 1:6 – Passage Lookup – New International Version, ©2011 – BibleGateway.com.

You may recognize from the address that ‘Both’ are Zechariah and Elizabeth. Both have a priestly lineage. But the most important BOTH to me this morning is both were righteous in the sight of the LORD.

Oh is there anything more blessed?! Than to be righteous before the LORD! Perhaps to believe it!

And as I have read the verse over again. I believe I hear the HOLY SPIRIT saying in My Son I see you that way. And here is why He does.

Romans 8 (New International Version, ©2011)
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

NO CONDEMNATION!

Oh blessed thought!

Oh blessed reality!  For us to live in today!

My love to you all in JESUS name.

ABBA. thank You for speaking to us. Thank You LORD JESUS that You have taken our condemnation and cast it from us as far as the east is from the west. I pray HOLY SPIRIT that You will remind us of this throughout this day and far into the night.  I ask You to comfort and strengthen those among us suffering, be it physically or emotionally. You know the good report I received from DeLois. Thank You and I pray for her continued recovery. And I praise You, praise You for Steve’s all clear report.  And I am asking You for such a report for Keri too, even more I ask that the over abundant calcium would cease to be abundant and Keri will be made whole. Give strength and peace to her Mom and Dad too I pray. And there are been other good reports and I praise You for those too. And there have been painful and soul wrecking reports and for those I am trusting You to intervene and make right, ABBA. And now I come in agreement with every Dear One that will come here to pray asking for Your Will be done in each of us and in those we bring to You here, including our IDOK Troops.  I love you, ABBA. Thank You for Your Righteousness imputed in JESUS Name. Amen and amen.

Live in the Righteousness of JESUS this day,
Kathie

From Across the Hall.

Good Morning.

It’s still dark in Satsuma. My beloved has gathered as he customarily does on Tuesday morning with others to pray — they’ll go to breakfast and he’ll come home to prepare for work. And Me?  Well this morning my lap top is on battery supply and I’m on location across the hall from my office :) for a quick check in with you all.

I’ve prayed for you this morning and as I was reading in John 1 thought I’d offer you a quick Word: Think about JESUS today.

John 1: (New Century Version)
14 The Word became a human and lived among us. We saw his glory—the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father—and he was full of grace and truth.
15 John tells the truth about him and cries out, saying, “This is the One I told you about: ‘The One who comes after me is greater than I am, because he was living before me.’ ”
16 Because he was full of grace and truth, from him we all received one gift after another.
17 The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God. But God the only Son is very close to the Father, and he has shown us what God is like.
via John 1:14-18 – Passage Lookup – New Century Version – BibleGateway.com.

You (me), we are going to need GRACE and TRUTH today and since JESUS is FULL of both why would we look to any one else?

Good question.

Consider JESUS today.
Consider your needs.
Consider His supply.

And REJOICE!

As my blog Friend, Karen, says — have a JESUS FULL day today.

Holy hugs and love,
Kathie
