One Day Late

Leave a comment

World Evangelism Praying has come home this month to the USA and settled in a place, for what reason I do not know.

Enid, Oklahoma

The WEB holds much information about Enid. I invite you to pray with me for the people of Enid, OK.

For a one stop, learn a lot web page about Enid, click HERE.

For the City’s official web page, click HERE. I looked pretty closely but did not see a word to direct visitors or new residents to a church. Although there are many churches in Enid.

Will you join with me in praying for Enid, OK, each Thursday (Friday, this week) in the month of February?

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians!

How Do You Read It?

Leave a comment

My Bible was open on my desk. I looked down and began to read without turning a page.

Habakkuk 2. 

I read it in the NASB. In the Message Bible. In the New Living Translation. In all three, the message is the same  – the Nation that forgets God is doomed to destruction.

3 “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.
via Hab 2 NASB – God Answers the Prophet – I will stand – Bible Gateway.

Choose your translation and tell me what you see.  Particularly in the New Living Translation, verse 12 do you think of Planned Parenthood (and abortion mill ‘physicians’) getting rich on the blood of aborted babies? In verse 4 do you see politicians?

In verse 1 of the NASB do you see us standing guard; waiting to hear from ABBA; waiting to hear what directives He will give us to aid in the rescue those who will listen? I did. And I wonder when I will act instead of just talk (and write).

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!

Borrowing

I am borrowing from YouVersion.com, a reading plan that I am following.  It’s Draw Near – 365 Guides to Greater Intimacy with God. Yesterday’s was so good I want to share it with you for our Wednesday time together.

LIBERATED

Michelangelo saw the task of the sculptor as that of freeing figures from their marble prisons. In each block of stone, he saw some “person” then chipped away until that form emerged. Sometimes he failed, as with St. Matthew. This famous statue is only half-finished because Michelangelo could not get the stone to release the figure of the brilliant apostle.

Paul saw God as the Sculptor Who frees men from the prison of their carnal nature. He wrote to the Philippians that God was doing a great work in and on their lives and encouraged them to have confidence in His work. He assured the new believers that God is perfectly capable of “finishing” us as He desires, for His (and our) greatest good. This Master Sculptor never gives up, and no prison is too strong for His skilled eye and learned hand.

In yielding ourselves to the direction of the Master, we are being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God (Philippians 1:11). All believers should remember that today’s bumps and bruises may merely be the Master chiseling, working away at our lives until we are conformed to the image of His Son. Thus we relax, even though the chisel may bite, for we know His work is sure and the result well worth the moment’s inconvenience.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Please keep praying for Kathy and her family (Jack Bell Family)

What’s Within?

Leave a comment

Psalm 103

1. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

I read it and rested on — and all that is within me.

What’s in me, I asked me. The answer was not coming quickly. Other than the answer one would expect a Christian to answer – The HOLY SPIRIT.

It was my beloved who astounded me with the answer. He began with attitudes. He says we all have them within us. He so totally bowled me over with the sobering truth of what is in me. He enumerated emotions that he has seen in me. Some I’m humbled to hear he sees; some I am ashamed to admit.

Attitudes.
Like
eagerness for some things and apathy toward other things (perhaps people too, and not just things)
willingness for  and stubbornness against
love and hate
tenderness and callousness
procrastinating vs impetuous
generous and selfish

Perhaps you could name others.

Now back to  — and all that is within me.
With all that is within me, all my attitudes, wounds, hurts, strengths, weaknesses, prejudices, fears, doubts, knowledge, wisdom, experiences, victories, defeats; with all that is within me I am to bless the LORD.
Let me say it again. Let it sink in. I am to bless the LORD with all those things jumbled, tangled, running, still within me! So are you.

How can that be? How can we bless Him with bad attitudes, wounds, hurts, weaknesses, prejudices, fears, doubts, defeats?
Surrender I think.
Surrender the good. Surrender the bad to the LORDSHIP of JESUS CHRIST.

He can use it all, you know. Really.
The good, ministering to others. And the bad? Well, once we are healed, even the bad will minister in His name.
And what would bless Him more than for us to help others and be made whole ourselves?

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

And all that is within you too, bless His holy name!

Prayer for the Christian is breathing.
