Reading Truth!

The reading of Luke 1.

May I share a few words? Words I underlined as I read. It’s longer than other chapters — but, you just might find it worth the read.

Why was this Gospel of Luke penned?
Verse 4. So we may know for sure the truth.  So as we read the whole of the Gospel of Luke, let us know we are reading truth. Let truth reign in us.

Verse 37.  We can land on this one. Remember we are reading truth! “37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.”  Nothing we bring to Him in prayer, petition, and request is impossible.  Nothing is too big or too small. He cares! Not only does He care. He is able!

45. Blessed is she who trusted . . . there is more to the verse but I am convinced I can safely believe this for me. I am blessed when I trust Him!

In verses 74 and 75 I see we are rescued from the fiercest of enemies to serve The HOLY ONE. To serve Him in holiness and righteousness all our days! This is our calling! This is our duty. This is our greatest privilege and pleasure. Do we believe this truth?

Verse 77. The knowledge of salvation comes through the removal of our sins. It says removal! At salvation! Our sins are removed! We no longer bear them because JESUS did!

Verses 78 and 79. Through our GOD’s heart of mercy . . . we have the guide for our feet. We get to walk in peace on the sod of this hostile world because He was made flesh and dwelt among us! John 1:14 And He is coming again! Revelation 22:20.

Whatcha Need

Needs? The question was asked of me what are my needs?
What is it that I just imperatively have to have?
And so I thought about it.
I came up with one imperative need.
I am not negating other needs, I mean the kind of needs that without I will not be long for this world. Like.

Water. Now I like some water! for drinking, for showering, for cleaning – – – Yep! water is really important to me.
Food. I like food. And there are not many days I have gone without it and even when I did – well, honestly that was by choice.
Clothing. Yeah. That’s pretty much a necessity! :)
Shelter from the elements. We won’t die quickly, normally, without some shelter from wind, rain, snow, cold, and heat but death will come in a while. So I’d say this is high on the need list.

My beloved hubby says LOVE is the one thing we need.
And I said it is pretty important but we won’t die right away without it and he said well, we won’t live well. I smiled because he was right.

So what is it? What is this all-important need?

In my humble opinion: Air/oxygen!
Without it that heart is gonna stop pumping, right?

Interesting, isn’t it that we were created with that one imperative, ultimate, got to have it need?

Air/breath

Genesis 1 (KJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

See that word Spirit?  Spirit of God – Holy Spirit of God.

Do you know what that word in Hebrew is and what it means?

Rauch
Breath – air

How smart is GOD!

With these natural lives we have been given we must have breath – air or we die. Air, breath. It is an ultimate need!

And in the supernatural; well, in the spiritual realm without AIR – the Holy Spirit of GOD, we are dead already! And I do mean graveyard dead!

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),  Ephesians 2

Romans 8:11 Tree of Life Version (TLV) 11 And if the Ruach of the One who raised Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Ruach who dwells in you.

Got AIR?

Philippians 4:19 New King James Version (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
