Goodbyes

My soul is sad as I sit to write. It was 15 years ago that we tackled legal issues together for our mutual lawyer/boss. She was spunky, only a little more than a year older than me and yet somehow I always felt much her junior. She knew her way around the office and she was good to me. Yet the day came when I moved on to greener pastures and tonight I learned my friend moved to the Golden Shore quite peacefully on April 27. Ramona fought a good fight and she kept the faith. Her family celebrated her life on Thursday (National Day of Prayer). I wish I had known. I miss her – just knowing she no longer shares this terrestrial sod with me makes me sad; but I will see her again. And I will see her again for only one reason – she said YES to JESUS and so have I. Have you?

10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

Ramona is not disappointed.  If you were to slip from this earth today — do you know where you would spend eternity?  You can know. This very day you can know.  I John 5:13 Questions? Click HERE for email address. 

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for the sweet assurance of Ramona’s testimony. Thank You that she lives on and I pray her testimony continues to bring others to repentance and salvation in You LORD JESUS alone.

Love ’em & Leave ’em!

If you noticed in yesterday’s prayer I thanked Father for light and that light was from Isaiah 61.
Just a few words from the TEXT rocked my world, loosened some chains and I am believing freedom is coming!

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; . . .  source

The TEXT is speaking of YESHUA.
It is just one of the prophesies heralding His Mission here on planet earth.
However, that is not the ‘new’ light I’m talking about.

I am confident, it is not news to you that as JESUS returned to Heaven in His flesh and bone body after His resurrection that He through HOLY SPIRIT has anointed us with this same calling.
Albeit, we will never be perfect in this calling; we with HOLY SPIRIT can strive to be.

And with that let me share with you some good news!

because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek   source

Do you see it?

We have not been called, anointed, or sent to preach the good tidings to people who do not want to hear it!!

As we are traversing this planet and we interact with people and the conversation makes it clear we are speaking with a ‘meek’ soul; one whose heart  HOLY SPIRIT has already tendered; it is that dear and precious soul to whom we ‘preach’, share, discuss, demonstrate, whatever the holy means given to us, the GOOD TIDINGS of GREAT JOY: that YESHUA, JESUS the CHRIST died and arose to give them Eternal Life!
But there is a condition: they MUST repent. That is they must agree they NEED a Savior.
And my Friend ONLY one who has already been tendered by HOLY SPIRIT will be willing to listen to this GOOD NEWS.

So am I saying to hell with those unwilling to listen?
NO!
I’m just saying, don’t debate it.
Don’t argue with them.
Don’t beat them over the head with your Bible or your ‘righteousness’.
Love them and leave them!
Love them and LEAVE them (and pray for them!) to HOLY SPIRIT until they are ready to be LED to JESUS.

Say what you will but that’s LIGHT and FREEDOM to this Little JESUS Girl!

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Father, Your little JESUS girl here thanks You! And I pray HOLY SPIRIT other Little JESUS Girls and Boys will get Your Revelation to them and will agree to be willing to carry Your LIGHT into this Dark World one voice at a time to one You have already prepared to hear. Thank You, LORD JESUS, for this most holy calling, this most wonderful privilege in all the world. Thank You. Tune our hearts, Father, to sing Your praise. Amen and amen.

ASK!

John 16:23-25

. . . ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

via John 16:23-25 KJV;CJB – And in that day ye shall ask me – Bible Gateway.

Because of the event we are memorializing this day and the day coming we will be celebrating – Resurrection Sunday – we can ask and receive!

So do it! ASK!

Whatever it is ASK. You cannot ask too much of HIM – HE has given His ALL.

You can ask in complete safety because if what you ask is not good for you, in His great love for you He will say, ‘No, receive this instead, it is more than you expect and far better.’

So ASK. Ask believing – the cross and the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST should be enough. Shouldn’t it?

Yes, LORD YESHUA, it is enough. It is finished. YOU have given Your All and it is enough. Enough blood to cleanse all our sins. Enough joy to brighten the way and the heart on the saddest of days. Enough love to love even the unloveliest. Enough mercy to pardon the most evil. Enough grace to lift up and set on a new road the chief of sinners. I pray now for those who have not yet ASKED that they yet will.
Thank You for
Jamie’s improving condition. And since I am asking, ABBA, I am asking that You will remove ALL cancer from Jamie’s body and give her a new lease on this earthly journey. Kerri. Still asking for miracles. Dylan. Since his surgery was postponed – thanking You and asking again for textbook perfect surgery this coming Wednesday and recovery to follow. Dori. Always increasing health for her – that she will walk again. Lance. That he will walk again too; comfort and strength for him and his family. Alyssa. A miracle healing, ABBA, we pray. Ray. Comfort and vision for a well completed journey in Your time. Pam and Vicki – comfort in grieving. Peace and protection for Israel. Revival for America. Sunday School members – their individual requests. And all other matters on our hearts. We bring them individually and collectively and we ask for Your Glory and Your Will to be made plain in them all. Our thank You-s are not enough ABBA but we offer them the same and ask for more surrendered hearts and deeper love for You and each other for JESUS sake.
