For Good. For Sure.

I said this verse aloud many times yesterday particularly at yesterday’s doings related to Chick-fil-A.

20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me, but God meant it unto good to bring to pass as it is this day, to save many people alive.

via Genesis 50:19-21 KJ21 – And Joseph said unto them, “Fear – Bible Gateway.

However, all my quoting was only part of the verse: what they mean for evil, God means for good.

And it is true. Proven out yesterday by the overwhelming amount of chicken sold! It was not about chicken. It’s about freedom.  And even those who have not said yes to JESUS yet understood that. Today, however, I am looking to the rest of that verse: to save many people alive.

Let us not forget that when ABBA turns the evil of the LEFT to good for the RIGHT, yes we enjoy that; yes, we want that; but, the greater purpose is to save many people alive. Let us not get in the way of that!

Tomorrow is purportedly set to be a day of protest. It is more than distasteful to me but I urge you if you happen to encounter a protester, please do NOT give them any additional reasons to ‘glory in their sin’.  Treat them with kindness, by no means condone their sin but in no way judge them beyond the realm of GOD to be saved. Do not damn them to hell before the time by any of your words or gestures.  For sure. For sure I am speaking most sternly to myself here. I am praying to be a shining example of the love and righteousness of JESUS CHRIST.  For you see the sin of homosexuality is offensive to me. It is offensive to me because it is offensive to my ABBA. I am compelled by Him to hate what He hates and love what He loves. He hates sin. He loves people.  And it is HE alone that can teach you and me to do as He does. I am urging us to allow Him to do this in us.

Let us cease to expect any of the peoples of this world to understand the Law and Love of GOD. (I Cor. 2:14) The reality of the Love and Law of GOD (they want the Love but not the Law) is foreign to any unregenerate mind. They cannot comprehend it and they never will unless CHRIST in us lights the way for them.  And we will NEVER light the way for them by condoning their sin or damning them in the here and now.

Now I confess to you, I don’t have a clue in this moment how to walk this out in the world out there. Here at my dining table it is easy to write what we must do. Out there where our feet hit the pavement is a different world. But our GOD is able. Let us decide here and now where it is safe that we will exalt and honor our Savior with our words and our deeds out there where the Evil One is seeking whom he may devour.

Let it not be us!!

Galatians 5:14-16 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye not be consumed one by another.

16 This I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

via Galatians 5:14-16 KJ21 – For all the law is fulfilled in one – Bible Gateway.

And now I return to a recent verse SEEK YE FIRST and when I do that I can rely on this:

Matthew 10:19 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

via Matthew 10:19 KJ21 – But when they deliver you up, take no – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, I so need help practicing Seeking You First and as I do I am certain in the moment You will give me words and deeds that will honor You and help our enemies find the road to repentance and salvation.  I pray for myself and for every dear one that comes here to read and to pray that You, HOLY SPIRIT, will encourage us and motivate us to seek You first today, all day.  LORD JESUS, and now we bring our sick and afflicted to You and we ask You to heal them. And we are not forgetting those who by their own testimony are rebellious and oblivious to You; thank You for not giving up on them and we pray they will yet be saved and rescued. And Israel. What a glorious future You have for them. Thank You. I look forward to see that day for them. And America. You love us so much. Thank You. Help us repent. HOLY SPIRIT, please raise up holy Statesmen and Heroes to lead the way.  Thank You, ABBA.

Chicken

Today is support Chick-fil-A day.  It has been my prayer this morning that all 1600 stores will have a most successful day; that the Army of the LORD will show up in numbers and enjoy lots of chicken today. May the Body of CHRIST be bold in love and truth. May the Body of CHRIST be not ‘chicken’ today to reflect the LIGHT.

For sure. For sure it is DARKNESS that took, added to, and twisted the words of Dan Cathy for the purpose of calling attention to the deeds of reprobate minds. And in case you missed my post FYI click  HERE to read it now.

1 John 1:4-6 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5 This then is the message which we have heard from Him and declare unto you: that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.

via 1 John 1:4-6 KJ21 – And these things write we unto you, – Bible Gateway.

You may recall our prayers on the 30th for Richard and Jeri.  Richard’s surgery was a success! We are expecting a complete recovery and to our GREAT GOD will give glory and praise and thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff for being instruments in His hands of healing.

ABBA, thank You, thank You for Richard’s healing and for the skill and care of medicine. Another is having surgery today too and we ask for textbook perfect results today as well. And today  I pray that not one child who You have re-birthed will be cowardice or arrogant as we support this family business that has named Your Name. LORD JESUS, even as the unregenerate mind did not understand You when You cleansed the Temple, today they still do not understand and they continue to reject You. Thank You for continuing to love them anyway and thank You for continuing to hate the sin. I pray that blinded eyes will be opened and Your Gospel will dawn upon those groping in darkness. We continue to bring our sick and afflicted, our rebellious and oblivious to You for healing and rescue. I continue, ABBA, to pray for Your beloved Israel, asking for Your Peace to be upon them and for You to subdue their every enemy and, DADDY GOD, for America I pray You will be merciful; raise up Statesmen and Heroes of Your Gospel and save this Nation I pray.  Thank You, ABBA.

Up and Out of There!

Mark 9:29 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
29 And He said unto them, “This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”

via Mark 9:29 KJ21 – And He said unto them, “This kind – Bible Gateway.

I was reminded of this verse this morning while pulling weeds from the front walk flower bed.

A few of the weeds pulled up easily, the rest were a bit more stubborn; hanging on to the soil in which they were entrenched with all tenacity. But alas I won and out they came, bringing a bit of the soil with them but that was okay, they were up and out of my garden!

Get the picture? Keep praying. Fasting if you need to until those stubborn betting sins are up and out of there!

Hebrews 12:1 English Standard Version (ESV) 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

via Hebrews 12:1 ESV – Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our – Bible Gateway.

Be of good courage! Take heart and keep tugging on those stubborn weeds until they are uprooted and gone! In other words: keep resisting the pull of the fleshly desires that are marring the beauty of your life and as you resist, rely on the power of JESUS CHRIST to uproot even the clingiest ones! 

Thank You, ABBA, for the exercise this morning in ridding myself of clinging and stubborn sins.  I pray this lesson will help others too. And persistently we come to prayer with our sick and afflicted and I ask that You heal and restore them. And our rebellious and oblivious, thank You for continuing to pursue them; HOLY SPIRIT, please help them stop and allow You to apprehend them. I pray for Israel, for Her peace and the subduing of all her enemies. I pray for America that You will have mercy and save us, ABBA, for You very own Name Sake.
