You Are The Man

2 Comments

Good Friday Morning.

2 Samuel 12 

As I am in the process, I think I will not be long here.

Nathan and David. 

ADONAI sent Nathan to David. 
I am rejoicing over this and requesting. 
Perhaps we all have people in our circle that say they love JESUS but the way they live denies Him. There’s hardly anything in this world more grievous than that.  I can imagine that Nathan was not gleeful when he got the commission to go and speak to David.  Perhaps you will read 2 Samuel 12 today. 

Nathan told David a story, perhaps a parable would be a more appropriate word.  David listened. And David handed down a judgment.  And then Nathan said. 

7 Natan said to David, “You are the man.   source 

I hope you will read what happened next. 

I don’t think we are wrong to ask The Father to raise up and send “Nathans” to floundering, off the Righteous Path people in our lives — or even ourselves when we need help repenting.  And pray when they hear the words: “You are the man (or woman)” they will say what David said. 

13 David said to Natan, “I have sinned against Adonai.”  source 

You know when those words are spoken with a true and contrite heart, they are rejoicing words!  The angels of Heaven rejoice and the  (witnessing) Saints of earth do as well! 

Pray for your families. Pray for your friends. Pray for ourselves. It’s Biblical.

Love, Kathie

Off the Cuff

Leave a comment

Quickly

2 Samuel 7
Two observations, I think.

Sometimes, even Prophets give counsel off the cuff and GOD corrects. 

Want to see why I say that?

Verse 3 Natan said to the king, “Go, do everything that is in your heart, for Adonai is with you.”   source

Now, look what happened.

4 But that same night the word of Adonai came to Natan: source

See that? But that same night.  Quick action. 
I love that Father keeps close tabs on His own. 
Do you?

Here’s just one verse of what HE said.  
Perhaps you will read more. 

5 “Go and tell my servant David that this is what Adonai says: ‘You are going to build me a house to live in?   source

One more observation from these verses. 
GOD listens! 

These two brothers (in Faith) were talking to each other! Father GOD was listening. 
Do you like that HE listens to our conversations with one another?
I do. I really do. Each and every one of them.
And I LOVE that HE listens AND corrects His own.
Do you?

 

Love, Kathie 

2022, A Quick Hello, Praying with my Sisters and Brothers in Holy Faith, Questions

Conversing

2 Comments

Would you like to peek over my shoulder this morning?  Obviously, I want you to since I offered. 

Conversing with Father. 
Father, how do we reach people with Your Gospel who are so wrapped up in the distractions and tinsel of the god of this world? People don’t even know they are distracted and side-tracked, many think they are right on track, pursuing their dreams. They don’t even know they are blind. How can we help them? Some have said love them to JESUS and REAL LOVE would do that, wouldn’t it? But how many of us even know what real love looks like ——-

Your WRATH on JESUS for us
that means You must hate sin pretty bad
(that’s an understatement, I know). 

People don’t hate sin like that. People love their sins.
We can’t love You and our sins at the same time, can we? 
It ain’t happening, is it?
To love You means we hate our sins, doesn’t it?
Help us really love You.

Love, Kathie 

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
