Places

Leave a comment

While praying for someone especially close and dear, I thought of you all. It’s a hope in JESUS for you that is possible and in my thinking so desirable.

That your homes  be places in which JESUS is the welcomed and loved King; places filled with prayer and praise; where the Bible is treasured, is the most read of all books and is consistently obeyed; where laughter is abundant and love prevails. Places where reason replaces shouting matches; where chaos is banished and order is welcomed; where cooperation replaces bickering and unhealthy competition. Seems idyllic, doesn’t it? Yet JESUS makes it possible.   Let us pray for it till we get it!

Isaiah 32: 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.

18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings and in quiet resting places
via Isaiah 32 KJ21 – Behold, a King shall reign in – Bible Gateway.


ABBA, thank You. It has not been the morning I planned but I am blessed that it is still well with my soul; I praise You and You alone for that. Thank You. And, HOLY SPIRIT, as I think about this home-life description, it does seem idyllic, perhaps like an impossible dream to some, but day by day, step by step progress can be made; You can be welcomed in a moment as KING and Your Presence can be learned and practiced. Make it so for each soul, each home, that comes here to pray. Thank You for each One, attend them today I pray. We have many matters in mind, some sitting heavy on hearts — You know them least I name them here; least others name them; You know and we thank You for knowing; knowing what is needed; knowing how to position souls to say yes and it is for that we pray; that souls will say yes to You and yield to the homes You have for us. We continue to remember the political arena and personally, ABBA, I am asking You for mercy and revival for us all. I am asking You to rain down grace to repent. I am asking You, HOLY SPIRIT, to convict and convince of sin, of righteousness and judgement to come; as Prophets of Old pleaded for mercy and repented of sin, so do we, ABBA.  Encourage the weary I pray, heal the sick and restore the fallen and let us enter into this Work with You, resting wholly and solely on the merits of JESUS our Savior.

Governed

Leave a comment

In my praying this morning I was reminded how important it is that the Word of our God govern us. I petitioned Him today that His Word would govern how we think; the decisions that we are compelled to make today, the places we will go, the words we will say and the emotions we will feel. That today we will be governed by His Word.

Acts 20: 32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

ABBA, I am grateful for this page to come together with others of like faith and so I pray for each of us; HOLY SPIRIT, asking that You govern us with Your Very Own Word today. We see it is so very important and so much to our very own benefit and those we love that we be governed by Your Word. Many emotions may come today, some will hit us like a brick, others will creep up like an evil adversary, help us sort them for keeping or casting; to enjoy them and rejoice with much praise or cast them from us, rejoicing and giving praise and thanks to You that we have the power and grace to do so. We have looked again at the names entrusted to this ministry, some have been with us a long time, some have been depending for a long time on this ministry to faithfully stand with them; thank You for that, ABBA, and we desire to be faithful and fail not in this; we know You will not. And so I commend each one who comes to meet with You here today, that You will quicken to each heart the importance of Your Word to govern us; and I dare not fail to ask for healings and provisions, conviction and repentance in the very portions that will glorify the Name of JESUS. Thank You, ABBA.

Wisdom Commands

That you and I do this today:

Proverbs 3: 3 Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.
via Proverbs 3 NASB – The Rewards of Wisdom – My son, do not – Bible Gateway.

Kindness and truth.

A wise combination ABBA has commanded here.

Bind them around your neck.

As a YOKE.  A working instrument.

Kindness and truth.

Written in our heart, flowed out into our tongue, our hands and our feet will work for us today; will work PEACE into us and others.

Make it so, LORD JESUS.

Praying (PFT)!

Romans 8:31-39 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

31 What then shall we say to these things?

And what do we say?

My Journey nailed me this morning. It read: “. . . Kim mentally recited her failures for the day. I didn’t exercise. I certainly shouldn’t have eaten that cake. I was probably too harsh with my sister. I’m behind on laundry and the house needs some heavy cleaning. I haven’t mailed that get-well card or RSVP’d to the wedding invitation. What a disorganized, unproductive mess I am!”

Does that sound familiar? I very well recognize the language; I speak it fluently!  But I should not! Here’s why:

If God is for us, who is against us? 

I confess I have enemies; not many I think, but a couple here and there, and yet I think perhaps even they are not as rough on me as I am rough on me. This should not be for them or me. And here is why:

32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

How indeed!!

33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect?

Oh, charges can be brought and you and I know they have been; BUT they will not stand.  :)  Here’s why:

God is the one who justifies;
34 who is the one who condemns?

Lucifer!

And sometimes he wears the faces of friends and strangers — we must remember to look beyond their faces and see the real enemy but that’s another lesson; lets get back to this TEXT.

Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

No! None of these will separate us from the Presence of the LORD; but my attitude about them can cause me to FEEL separated, even when I am not.  And feelings don’t last but FAITH does! 

36 Just as it is written,

“FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;

WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”

Yikes! Nothing separates us from Him but we can surely get the hurt beat out of us in this cruel and hostile world. So we must remember:

37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced

Am I? Are you? I don’t always act like it. Do you? But we are not going there again. We are going to press on believing, receiving and experiencing this:

that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And all DADDY GOD’s sons and daughters said, “Amen and amen!!”

Sweet JESUS blessings to you all!

Got some Ones dear, dear to me on my mind this morning I am believing ABBA to glorify Himself in the messes that have been dumped on them through no fault of their own, just troubles that come with this territory we live in; believing Him for strength, courage, wisdom, helps and an overflowing abundance of His love and grace manifested in His very own immeasurably precious Presence with them.  If you have such concerns too, thank Him and receive these same helps and blessings in JESUS name.

Praying (PFT)!
