Pebbles

Gallery Leave a comment

A word from a Sister-Friend used by permission:

This morning as I awoke this raced through my brain:  “Crushing Satan’s Pebbles”.  Didn’t know why or exactly what it meant.  Maybe a good sermon title?

As I pondered it over, these thoughts followed:  we recognize those big boulders or mountains that Satan can put into our paths to make us stumble or veer off the path, but do we even begin to recognize and deal properly with those little tiny pebbles.  Those little pebbles are there to annoy us, pain us a little bit, steal our joy, or even make our minds wander where they shouldn’t.  They are like a grain of sand in our shoes that irritates us as we walk.  We are eager to remove the shoe and get the sand out.  We need to be so in tune with God that we will recognize the “pebbles” and eagerly ask God to remove them from us, protecting us from the potential dangers.  Zippy

I think my Sister heard a Word for herself and many of us. Like she said we are eager, we can’t wait to get that shoe off and get that sand out.

Got any little pebbles (sins) to rid from your shoes (walk) today?

Song of Solomon 2

15 “Catch the foxes for us, yes, the little foxes!
They are ruining the vineyards when our vineyards are in bloom!”

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

I see it, ABBA. I understand and Thank You. Thank You for my Sister. Thank You for this Word to her and thank You that she shared it with me and that I can share it here. I pray this Word will do all that You plan, for as long as You desire. I pray for us to recognize the pebbles and be as eager to get rid of the sins in our lives as we are to get sand from our shoes. Forgive us. We are an insensitive people when it comes to our own sins.We dismiss the ones we deem small and pride ourselves that we don’t do the ones we think are big. Forgive us and help us, ABBA. HOLY SPIRIT, bless us with conviction, conviction too strong, too loud or perhaps too quiet and too steady for us to ignore. Help us repent. Some people and situations are coming to mind. And I am reminded that all things are possible with You; I’m glad about that because these things feel impossible; but I am asking. Asking for Your Light to come on in hearts and for caring people to be steeped in wisdom. Help us be not overwhelmed with all the troubles of this life; with the illness and disease; with poverty of spirit; with hunger and lack of hunger; with sexual slavery; with hard heart-ed rebellion; it often seems endless; let us not be defeated but rather arise in victory with our Savior. We dare not forget to pray for healing-s for these, physical and otherwise, for Jamie. Dylan. Dori. Kerri. Lance. Adalynn. Carol. Donnie. Terri & family. and Others. All Others that Readers bring here with them in prayer. And for each who reads or visits this page, I pray for them to know the beauty of Your Presence and for them to rest in Your Grace and Your strength, finding You sufficient in all things.

It Fits Now

I was ironing yesterday; which means I was also watching movies. And since Netflix I have a plethora of good, wholesome, faith filled movies at my disposal. And one of yesterday’s choices was The Moment After 2:The Awakening and it was good! A Parting Salutation used again and again caught my attention.

Be hidden in Christ

And so of course I looked to find the Scriptural basis for the phrase – I heard potential there and I was not disappointed.  And as you would expect I have begun to use it. :)

My beloved sent his customary email to let me know he had arrived to his office and he asked prayer for a productive day. My return email contained the requested prayer – here’s a portion: for his joy to be full – hidden in You Christ Jesus – hidden so no one can take it from him.

Colossians 3:

3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

via Col 3:3 NASB;CJB – For you have died and your life is – Bible Gateway.

At the conception of our rebirth our eternal life, our eternal destiny is HIDDEN in CHRIST JESUS — not to be taken from us. And yet as we sojourn this planet waiting for the adoption of our entire being there are many things we would do well to HIDE in CHRIST that others not take – no a truer word in this instance – that we not give those things away to others.

So I must ask myself (and you) what have we been giving away to others that we should be hiding in CHRIST JESUS? 

joy?
trust?
courage?
strength?
sanity?
outcome of relationships?
outcome of medical conditions?

See what I mean? Those dreams, emotions, all things that make this sojourn holy and profitable — HIDE them in CHRIST – only there will they and we be safe, and yes profitable and productive.

In the movie, be hidden in Christ was an expression of hope, encouragement and love: Be hidden in Christ that the antichrist not find you.

It fits now too.

ABBA, thank You. Thank You for movies that give us messages and lessons based upon Your Word. I pray those movies will long do a work to give people an opportunity to hide themselves in You from the antichrists that are already here and the one yet to come.
Thank you for the good works being done with Jamie. Thank You for Your good will and purpose for her; and as we have been asked we pray that You will strengthen her; that her mobility will increase and that her ability to breath normally will be restored. And above all that, ABBA, I ask You to heal Jamie. To remove every trace of cancer within every cell of her body. And we pray for others. Dylan. his surgery is scheduled again for tomorrow and again we ask You for a textbook perfect procedure and recovery; for doctors and staff to be at their best, to catch and correct every abnormality from start to finish. Terri. remembering her and her family always, all the way through this chemo and all matters. Lance. and his rehab, rebuilding muscles and systems damaged and not just that but helps for family too – that their strength and his be meet for this day – that they be hidden in You LORD JESUS. And there are many Others and matters: Vikki. Ray. Leslie. Ray/Treva. Dori. Family. Friends. Weddings. Much, ABBA. Thank You for taking it all on and doing all things well, ABBA, in JESUS name we ask.

Facebook page Prayers for Jamie

Jamie Martin wrote:  I’m away from FB for a few days and come back to a whirlwind of blessings and prayers and smiles everywhere!! Thank you guys so much! Most of the updates will be from my family for now. For the next few days my focus is on staying up and moving and continuing to breath normally while doing so. That’s the hardest thing right now. Still on low amount of oxygen just to help me along the way. Surgery went exceptional. All things well in that department. Now just to get me breathing at a good level on my own with no help from a tank. We are slowly getting there. Once my lungs get healthier, we will then begin to focus on chemo. Spread the word about this page. It will be the easiest way to update everyone. Love and thanks to you all!!!!

ASK!

John 16:23-25

. . . ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

via John 16:23-25 KJV;CJB – And in that day ye shall ask me – Bible Gateway.

Because of the event we are memorializing this day and the day coming we will be celebrating – Resurrection Sunday – we can ask and receive!

So do it! ASK!

Whatever it is ASK. You cannot ask too much of HIM – HE has given His ALL.

You can ask in complete safety because if what you ask is not good for you, in His great love for you He will say, ‘No, receive this instead, it is more than you expect and far better.’

So ASK. Ask believing – the cross and the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST should be enough. Shouldn’t it?

Yes, LORD YESHUA, it is enough. It is finished. YOU have given Your All and it is enough. Enough blood to cleanse all our sins. Enough joy to brighten the way and the heart on the saddest of days. Enough love to love even the unloveliest. Enough mercy to pardon the most evil. Enough grace to lift up and set on a new road the chief of sinners. I pray now for those who have not yet ASKED that they yet will.
Thank You for Jamie’s improving condition. And since I am asking, ABBA, I am asking that You will remove ALL cancer from Jamie’s body and give her a new lease on this earthly journey. Kerri. Still asking for miracles. Dylan. Since his surgery was postponed – thanking You and asking again for textbook perfect surgery this coming Wednesday and recovery to follow. Dori. Always increasing health for her – that she will walk again. Lance. That he will walk again too; comfort and strength for him and his family. Alyssa. A miracle healing, ABBA, we pray. Ray. Comfort and vision for a well completed journey in Your time. Pam and Vicki – comfort in grieving. Peace and protection for Israel. Revival for America. Sunday School members – their individual requests. And all other matters on our hearts. We bring them individually and collectively and we ask for Your Glory and Your Will to be made plain in them all. Our thank You-s are not enough ABBA but we offer them the same and ask for more surrendered hearts and deeper love for You and each other for JESUS sake.

Passion Week

Passover Week

Gallery Leave a comment

I am not well versed but I understand from some who are that last night at 6:00 Passover Week began. Traditionally, the leaven has been removed from their home-places.

15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

via Exodus 12 KJV;CJB – And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron – Bible Gateway.

We would do well to remove the leaven from our homes for the week of Passover and continuing until you and I pass-over.

ABBA, open our eyes to see the leaven in our hearts that we will cooperate with You to remove it from our lives. Thank You, LORD JESUS, for being our Substitute. Thank You for saving us. HOLY SPIRIT, help us to exalt and demonstrate to all that JESUS is LORD. And, ABBA, in my flawed flesh I pridefully think You have given all how could I even ask for more and yet You expect me to do that very thing: to bring it all. Jamie. Surgery this morning. ABBA, I am asking for a miracle. I am asking You to heal Jamie. I am asking for textbook perfect surgery and textbook perfect recovery for her. I trust You, ABBA, to do all things well for our Jamie. And the report is that Alyssa is doing well. Thank You, ABBA. Thank You. We are a needy bunch of people. Thank You for taking care of us. Thank You for loving us. Thank You for being our Father that always loves us and always provides the best for us. Thank You, ABBA. Thank You. Kerri. Still asking for a miracle. Dylan. Surgery on Wednesday. Again textbook perfect, please, ABBA. Lance and his family. It’s a tough go but we know You are faithful. Terri and her family. Thank You for your faithfulness to them; we trust You. Dori. Pam and Vicki. They are grieving, ABBA, but again You are faithful and we pray for them to receive Your comfort even now. Much good to do today. We pray for eyes to see and hands and feet to do it for JESUS sake. Thank You, LORD YESHUA. Our MESSIAH and SAVIOR.
