2 Timothy 1

14 Keep safe the great treasure that has been entrusted to you, with the help of the Ruach HaKodesh, [HOLY SPIRIT] who lives in us.

via 2 tim 1 KJV;CJB – Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the – Bible Gateway. [in brackets – mine]

In our Text Paul was instructing Timothy to keep safe the great treasure entrusted to him. What was that great treasure?

Let us turn to 2 Corinthians 4, we will find additional light there.

2 Corinthians 4:6-8

6 For it is the God who once said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of the Messiah Yeshua.
7 But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.

via 2 Corinthians 4:6-8 KJV;CJB – For God, who commanded the light to – Bible Gateway.

The faith you have that JESUS is the CHRIST; your Savior, the Savior of the world is a GIFT. A most precious gift; a treasure.  Guard your treasure.  Keep the faith!! At ALL cost keep THE FAITH. The HOLY SPIRIT will help you – lean on Him; submit to Him. Words for you. Words for me.

And as Paul was wrapping up the Words given him by the HOLY SPIRIT to write to Timothy and to us, he said:

2 Timothy 4

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

via 2 Timothy 4:7 KJV;CJB – I have fought a good fight, I have – Bible Gateway.

May we in truth when the time comes, say the same.

Be Hidden in CHRIST,

Thank You, ABBA, for speaking. Thank You for illuminating us. Thank You for giving and preserving Your Word even to this generation. Help us to hid Your Word in our hearts so we will be able to share It with the world in JESUS’ name. 
And as other times we come with our requests for healing(s) of those we name now in our hearts. And we lift all our cares to You and we thank You for providing wisdom, solutions, provisions, and every good and perfect gift we need to do this life well. Thank You, ABBA Father.

 

Prayer Requests, Uncommonly Used Words

This Phrase

Gallery 1 Comment

I’ve been reading a lot today. In fact other than steam cleaning the kitchen floor, that’s about all I have done. I don’t think I have even made up my bed! Oh well.

Perhaps it is not a new word but for sure it is not one of familiar use for me.

umbrage

I came across it reading today; but that’s not all. This is the phrase that really made me sit up and take notice:

He held His God in the highest esteem

via The End Time: Take umbrage, Brethren!.

I told its author that the HOLY SPIRIT had highlighted that for me and that I would like to use it but more than that I want to LIVE IT!

Elizabeth tells us well in the aforementioned post that we Christians must start right now this very day to hold our GOD in the HIGHEST ESTEEM. I would be much pleased if you would pop over to The End Time blog and read the whole piece for yourself. Click the link above and it will take you there.

On a personal prayer request note.

I have a few.

My friend Janet’s Mother left for HEAVEN today. We have happy tears for her and sad ones for Janet and her family.
I have another friend, Dawn, who is battling in the legal system with her, we hope, soon to be former husband who refuses to hold GOD in esteem as evidenced by his criminal conduct as well as his immoral and adulterous pursuits. Yes, I’m upset about it. Yes, I am offended.
One of my much-loved son-in-laws, Greg, had oral surgery yesterday – he hurts but he went to work today anyway.
That’s just a few. I have more but I’ll not name them all.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for praying. Thank you for being my Friends.

Celebrations, Christmas, Guests

Close Enough!

I do not know who is the Author of this piece but I cannot imagine myself not sharing it with you. I cried and at the end clapped my hands in praise saying Yes, You are! Yes, You are!!

twas’ 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven’s gate.
…

their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didn’t know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“where are we?” asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
“this is heaven.” declared a small boy. “we’re spending Christmas at God’s house.”
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus’ face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, “I’ll take care of mom and dad.”
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
“Let My power and presence re-enter this land!”
“may this country be delivered from the hands of fools”
“I’m taking back my nation. I’m taking back my schools!”
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
“come now my children, let me show you around.”
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
“in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT.”
Perhaps the scene last Friday morning in Heaven did not go exactly as depicted here but this description is close enough for me to give me great, great comfort!! Close enough for me to see my Holy Savior and give Him praise, worship and adoration!!!
 

Oh, ABBA, thank You, thank You in JESUS HOLY AND ETERNAL NAME! To HIM be glory forever and ever!!

Blessings of Joy and Peace,
