Day 1 – Good as Done

img_3459It’s late but I dare not wait till the morning . . .  why? Because right now it is still Day 1. 
Day 2 is fast approaching and I have not a clue what will be written here for Day 2. I am hoping I do indeed write something for Day 2. smile1

Luke 1

Verse 67.
Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit and he prophesied.
What was his prophesy? Begin with Verse 68 and see.

As you read it, please note he is speaking in past tense!
He says: GOD has visited His People. GOD has redeemed His People. 

And in verse 69 he continues with past tense language!
He has raised up a horn of Salvation in the house of David.

And then in verse 76 he begins to speak over his 8-day-old son.
He says of him, you will go before The LORD to prepare the way for Him.

Do you know that at the time these words were spoken JESUS – YESHUA would not be delivered from His Mother’s womb for another 6 months?
Do you know what this means?
Zechariah KNEW The LORD was already here on planet Earth, He knew He had already left Heaven.

He knew that salvation, (redemption) was as good as done as it would be done when it was done

GOD keeps His Word!
When He says it, it is as good as done even before we see it done.

On a side note, do you know what else this means?
Babies are BABIES at conception.

DAY 1!

Kept House

Oh my! girl

It’s March? 
Already?!

2023 is speeding by. 
I have to ask myself: What have I done with it? 

Let’s see. I have loved-on my great-grands and my grands. I’ve done some reading and some writing. Kept house. Visited a bit. And prayed a lot. But there is always, always more praying to do – not as a chore but a holy delight! 
Now for the most important question. 

Have I been a co-laborer with GOD?  1 Corinthians 3:9-11

It’s Wednesday — make it count, Friends.

Love, Kathie 

Chiming In

From time to time I chime in 715zh0bU8zL._AC_SL1000_on Facebook with a post beginning with: While Minding my own business thoughts. Tonight I am bringing it here.

The majority of organized churches proudly preach that JESUS hung out with sinners. This is misleading.

This Western Gospel was crafted to make Jesus appealing to the masses; to make Him sinner-friendly, and non-judgmental. To make Him Comforting. Soothing. Affirming. Etc.
And He is comforting, soothing, affirming, encouraging, loving, and a multitude of other wonderful nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs TO HIS SAINTS.

Dig into Scripture and see this for yourself.

Indeed JESUS went to the home of Zacchaeus, the tax collector, and to the house of a Pharisee. With each sinner (Pharisee, tax collector, or prostitute) He encountered one of two things followed. Either the sinner repented of his or her sins and followed Jesus as LORD and Messiah, or they rejected Him, walked away, or even joined in with the Religious Leaders in their plot to kill Him.    (Luke 19:1-10. Luke 7:36-50.)

It is inaccurate and deadly to paint JESUS as a wimpy, sin-condoning, party god.

JESUS did not, nor does He now make sinners comfortable in their sins.
We cannot PRACTICE sin and walk with JESUS. (Isaiah 59:2)

Read your Bible.

Let me repeat.
Sinners who encountered  JESUS back then and still do today, do one of two things: they either repent of their sins and follow Him or they reject Him and walk away from Him.

As His Followers, we should have that same reputation.
If we can hang out with unrepentant sinners and they are content and happy to do so for months and years – we can know we are not living or loving like JESUS.  I realize that is a hard statement. It nails me too. I have a long way to go! But I am going forward even as I recommend to you with prayer, moment-by-moment obedience, more prayer, Scripture, more prayer and fasting, and as best I know how following Holy Spirit as He leads me into all my relationships – family included, my most precious.

That’s it for now — until I Chime In again may the peace of GOD rule in you and me.

Love, Kathie
