Another World

Between my thoughts and my actions spans another world.

The Land of Courage.

In this Land of Courage, I have strength. Strength to take my thoughts of good and right and turn those good intentions into deeds of righteousness. In the Land of Courage, I have power to beat back those thoughts of evil and unkindness and refuse to turn them into works of darkness.

Where will I live today? Where will you live today? In the Land of Courage?

A world away is as close as a choice.

2 Chronicles 32: 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
6 And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke comfortingly to them, saying,

7 “Be strong and courageous. Be not afraid nor dismayed by the king of Assyria and all the multitude that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.

8 With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

ABBA, thank You for this picture of words on the screen of my mind; I pray it will sink into my heart and I will live in the Land of Courage today so my right thoughts will be turned into deeds of righteousness and those evil darts of the enemy will be rejected and expelled and I will know victory for Your Honor and glory and for my good and the good of Your Kingdom. I pray all who come here to read and to pray today will also take up the challenge to live in the Land of Courage today.  And today we boldly bring our sick and afflicted asking You to heal them and asking You to rescue, to pursue and woo until the rebellious and oblivious surrender to live in the Land of Courage with You, LORD JESUS. I pray too for the Peace of Israel and for the subduing of all Her enemies; and for America, I praise and thank You for birthing this great Nation and I ask that You have mercy and pour out Your Spirit upon us, pouring out the power of conviction and conversion to live in the Land of Courage found only in JESUS.  Amen and amen.

for today.

ABBA’s love for you is limitless and endless.

Limitless – nothing you do today will cause Him to cease to love you – that should be enough to give us ‘license’ to obey not disobey.

Endless – there will never be a day He does not love you limitless-ly.

ABBA, thank You for every pair of eyes that falls on this page and every heart that agrees to receive Your love and mercy this day. And for those who reject You, ABBA, I pray they will yet allow You to tender their hearts that they may know how AWESOME You are and give You the love and devotion in return that You so deserve. Amen and amen in the Mighty and Holy name of JESUS CHRIST the Righteous.

In The Midst

Just a quick word for strength this morning.

Zephaniah 3:17 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.”
via Zep 3:17 KJ21 – The LORD thy God in the midst of thee – Bible Gateway.

In the midst of traffic.
In the midst of uncooperative coworkers.
In the midst of piles of laundry.
In the midst of blank manuscript pages due to be written.
In the midst of yang-yang bickering siblings – child and adult :) .
In the midst of life altering illness.

In the midst of it all ABBA is with YOU. And HE is mighty. Mighty enough to bring you to the other side. Mighty enough that He can rejoice over you and what you will become because of this as you submit to His tutelage in this.  His mind is made up. He is not searching for new reasons to love you. He just does! He is pleased with CHRIST in YOU. You in CHRIST brings a smile to His Face and He sings. Over You.  Get that? Over YOU He sings!

Thank You, ABBA. For this Word and for singing.  We are beyond blessed to know that we can bring pleasure to You; that You smile; that You sing over us.  Thank You, JESUS, for making it happen! So for each One that comes here to read and pray today, may we embrace this truth and live this truth so this truth can be experienced by each of us. And for Israel, ABBA, we take Your command seriously and we pray for Her peace and for the subduing of Her enemies and for Your Kingdom to come. For the Church, send us revival, Father, revive us I pray in JESUS name. And for THESE we come asking that You heal our sick and afflicted and that you rescue and restore our rebellious. And, ABBA, as You will enlist us in Your Great Work for JESUS Name sake. Amen and amen.

Who Am I?

Gallery 3 Comments

Passing through the den on my way to the kitchen I heard a line from a pre-approved movie that Baby Girl GRAND was watching.

“And who will I be when this is over?”

Excellent question.

If I give myself to the one goal of mother, as important, as honorable and as good as it is; who will I be when the Babies are grown?

If I give myself to the one goal of wife, as important, as honorable and as good as it is; who will I be if he goes to Heaven before me?

If I give myself to the one goal of my chosen career, as important, as honorable and as good as it is; who will I be when I retire; or heaven forbid I am unable to work anymore?

If I give myself to the one goal of serving in the Church, as important, as honorable and as good as it is; who will I be when someone younger or ????? comes along and takes my place?

See my point? Finding who we are in a function, a title, a career, even the people we love will leave us wondering when the functioning and the people wear old or out.  And we must something!

Goals are a must. If we do not have them, we perish.

Proverbs 29:18 a  21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish; . . . via Proverbs 29:17-19 KJ21 – Correct thy son, and he shall give thee – Bible Gateway.

BUT only ONE purpose will last. Only ONE relationship NEVER goes away. Only ONE ministry is forever.

JESUS, The ONE and ONLY

 So how are you doing with this ONE?

Philippians 1:26-28 The Message (MSG)

22-26As long as I’m alive in this body, there is good work for me to do. If I had to choose right now, I hardly know which I’d choose. Hard choice! The desire to break camp here and be with Christ is powerful. Some days I can think of nothing better. But most days, because of what you are going through, I am sure that it’s better for me to stick it out here. So I plan to be around awhile, companion to you as your growth and joy in this life of trusting God continues. You can start looking forward to a great reunion when I come visit you again. We’ll be praising Christ, enjoying each other. via Philippians 1:26-28 MSG – As long as I’m alive in this body, – Bible Gateway.

So grateful JESUS that You are the One and Only and that in Your grace You have made Yourself known to us. Thank You for friends who gather here to read and to pray.  I pray for each of us to know who we are in You. Yes because we have that need but foremost because when we are certain that we are in You, when our identity is founded in You then all else is made better. Thank You.  And we bring our sick and afflicted to You as we often do asking that You heal them. And continuing to ask for grace and mercy and space to repent for our wayward ones, our rebellious, and oblivious ones. For Israel we pray for peace and safety, a subduing of Her enemies; for America we pray for mercy and an outpouring of conviction of sin and righteousness for JESUS name sake. Amen and amen.
