Lord, Give Me Holy Balance!

2 Comments

I have invested (I am trusting it is an investment) a HUGE block of time this morning reading politically directed material. Popular or not, I am inviting you to visit KAT’s Meows and watch, listen, read and pray. Pray that we do not just accept this with a there is nothing I can do attitude or perhaps a state of denial. Either stance will paralyze.

Four years ago I lost a Reader (perhaps more than one) because of my political praying in print; because I made no apologies for my conviction that Barack Obama was not fit for the Presidency. I have not changed my mind and thus far our Constitution at this writing is still upheld enough that I can say so. Albeit there is increasing censorship looming.

However, it is not good for me to be consumed with the political storm; a balance is a must. I am urging you and reminding myself to be prayerful, to be politically  informed, to FIRST GO carrying out the Great Commission; and since we are GOING anyway, as the HOLY SPIRIT prompts urge every soul you can to resist and refuse to buy into ‘Separation of Church and State’ as it continues to be perversely spewed. America needs REAL CONSISTENTLY PRACTICING CHRISTIANS saturating the political scene. I said recently at my Facebook page:

It is a sad day in America when a man cannot get elected President because he is too godly.

May JESUS have mercy on each and every American who rejects a candidate because he or she is too Christian principled.

Now let me land this thing with Good News.

Matthew 28:18-20 King James Version (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
via Matthew 28:18-20 KJV – And Jesus came and spake unto them – Bible Gateway.

Do you see? Do you see the Good News that will keep you and me sane in this crazy world? 

Jesus said: All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.

ALL POWER is given to HIM!

Not the Democratic party. Not the Republican party. Nor anybody in either party.

JESUS is in charge!!

So tell me, what does it profit a soul to side against HIM?

I gotta hush now — and work on my holy balance.  :)

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

There is LIGHT for the Darkness + + +

Back to Work!

Officially our play days are all but gone!  My beloved gets to go back to the office in the morning. I will miss having him around here underfoot :) It’s been good to relax and lay much of my routines aside for a spell, but tomorrow it’s back to business.

On Sunday my Pastor (Roy Hill) gave a superb sermon. I’d like to share his five major points:

Five Resolutions every Christian should make:

1. Do the things I told Christ I would do on the day He saved me.
2. Love Christ more. And here’s how: Love Him FIRST. Love Him MOST. Love Him DAILY. And there’s more. To do this means DAILY I will spend time in the WORD. DAILY I will seize time for talking to Him. DAILY I will invest time LISTENING to Him.
3. Share my faith. Look at every person I see as someone Jesus died for and when the HOLY SPIRIT prompts and opens the door, TELL THEM JESUS died for them.
4. Be the family member God wants me to be. For me, that’s being a godly wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, or cousin.
5. Be the church member God wants me to be. That means show up and let JESUS show out in me.

And here at the close of day 2, I could have practiced these better BUT tomorrow His mercies are fresh and new and practice makes perfect!! :)

Lamentations 3: 21This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope:
22 It is through the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness.
24 “The LORD is my portion,” saith my soul, “Therefore will I hope in Him.”
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Greetings 2012!
You will only bring to me what my ABBA has purposed. Surprises surely await me but He is already there and we (those of us in CHRIST JESUS) are safe.

ABBA, thank You for the victories of 2011; thank You for my defeats that You turned to victories. Thank You for each dear and beloved IDOK. Thank You that their futures are safe even before we know them. Thank You, JESUS, for who You are and who You are making us to be. We welcome this new year because You are walking it with us. Thank You for family, friends, love, faith, joy, peace and forgiveness; let us not leave any one of them behind but bring each forward, daily. May all our merrymaking be done in holiness. And, ABBA, I pray for mercy and grace and space to repent for those whose merrymaking even now is far from You. Thank You that all my such New Years past are forgiven and under the Blood of CHRIST JESUS my LORD. HOLY SPIRIT, I invite You to get all up in ‘my’ business for 2012 and make it our best year yet; and not just for me but for every willing soul who comes here to read and pray. Amen and amen in the Lovely, Mighty and Holy Name of JESUS, the LORD’s CHRIST.

Let us Brave the Dark with the LIGHT of the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST together,
Kathie

Day 28 — The HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD

I am SO thankful for Him. For the work He does. For the healing He brings when we have been wounded; even if the majority of the wound was self-inflicted because we did not quickly enough run to Him for comfort, solace, understanding, and wise counsel.

May each of you today experience the truth that you are securely held in the palm of His Hand, even in Nineveh.  In case you missed yesterday’s posting, click HERE.

Ephesians 1:12-14 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
12 that we, who first trusted in Christ, should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Christ ye also trusted after ye heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, in Whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,
14 which is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.

John 14:25-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
25 “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
