Six Years Ago

Gallery 2 Comments

Reading a devotion that I wrote more than six (6) years ago (click HERE to read it) words found in Proverbs 16 have seized me and will not let go. I don’t want them to. I want them to lay hold to me and transform me. Look with me.

Proverbs 16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

via Proverbs 16 AMP – The plans of the mind and orderly – Bible Gateway.

He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will

What would it look like for my thoughts, your thoughts, to be agreeable to ABBA’s will on a continually consistent basis? What would life be like? What would relationships be like? Would the climate change in our homes, in our communities, in our Nation? Would it?

Any thoughts you’d care to share?

I am praying for Regie today. He is having a heart cath this Friday morning. And I’m praying for protection for Americans who love America and who are in danger from those who hate America. These are perilous times.

2 Timothy 3 New King James Version (NKJV)

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

via 2 Timothy 3 NKJV – Perilous Times and Perilous Men – But – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, You always hear the prayers of Your children. Thank You. I pray You begin to hear more prayers. More of Your children praying fervent prayers without ceasing. And right now I commit Regie’s heart cath to You, for it to be successful, for it to be very good news, for You to grant him restoration, a very favorable outcome I pray. Words are not coming easily, ABBA. Events in Libya and Egypt, the players in this evil desecration of life, Americans in danger, it’s too much for me to get my soul around. HOLY SPIRIT, intercede for us; intercede for Americans around this globe in places of conflict and hatred, protect them please and LORD JESUS please come quickly and soon and put an end to this hatred. And while we wait for You, JESUS, we want to occupy as You have told us to. Help us commit our works to You and allow You to cause us to be agreeable with Your Will in us and through us. And thank You for reminding me of others; thank You for what You have done for them and what You will yet do.  And for each who gather here for prayer, I ask for strength meet for this day for them and for abundant love for You and others in JESUS name.

Blessings, Friends +++

Is There Life In It?

Mark 4:17 but they have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the Word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

It’s a stump, y’all!

No roots. Has had no roots for almost 6 months and green sprouts keep coming, but they don’t last. What am I getting at here? This: The LIFE OF GOD is only in people ROOTED in CHRIST JESUS. And His counsel to us is Don’t be fooled, Little Flock.

Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in Heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that Day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils, and in Thy name done many wonderful works?’

23 And then will I profess unto them, ‘I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.’

via Matthew 7 KJ21 – “Judge not, that ye be not judged. – Bible Gateway.

In these days of hypocrisy run a muck we must be alert, discerning and bold to speak the truth in love.  I cannot too strongly urge you to diligently pray over your families particularly in regards to the people, doctrines, organizations and movements they take to their bosoms. Let us be reminded the Evil One parades himself as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11;13-15) and we must come against him with effectual, fervent prayer.

ABBA, I ask You to minister Your Word as You will in JESUS name.

Is He Serious?

Before my eyes opened this morning, my mind was set on pondering clean hands.

I think He is serious.

He wants us to clean our hands.

Clean hands is also a legal term. (check out the link below for even more defining)

The clean hands doctrine is a rule of law that someone bringing a lawsuit or motion and asking the court for equitable relief must be innocent of wrongdoing or unfair conduct relating to the subject matter of his/her claim.

via Clean Hands Doctrine Law & Legal Definition.

And I believe the medical community will bear out that unclean hands will make you sick and spread disease.

It’s important to have clean hands.

Legally

Medically

Spiritually

Unclean spiritual hands spread sin – the most deadly of all diseases.

Got clean hands?

I pray, ABBA, that today I will surrender to Your wisdom that my hands be clean today. I pray for each One who comes here to read and pray that they too will submit to clean hands. I ask You, HOLY SPIRIT, to raise up Statesmen and Heroes in America who have clean hands. I pray for Israel for Her peace and for the subduing of all Her enemies.  And for our sick and afflicted, we bring them this morning asking You to heal them. And the Rebellious and Oblivious for whom we are much concerned, we ask that You tender their hearts and bring them to clean hands as well. Teach us, LORD, about clean hands and how to have them for Your glory and our good.

1 Chronicles 29:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
via 1 Chronicles 29:11 KJV – Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the – Bible Gateway.

The following came to me today via email and I was so impressed with it that I just had to share it with you.

Enjoy!!

God is Orderly

Our God is an Awesome God in the things we take for granted……………. Always the same timing in the little things.

For example:
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, The number of days in a week!)

God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant… The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction… No other quadruped is so made. Too large to live on two legs, God’s plan gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.
A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.
Each one has its way to do what it does.

Whatever the Lord makes is always very efficient.

He is a God of ORDER.

-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas grows with an even number of bananas on the bottom row. Each row up decreases by one. The next row has an odd number and the next row an even number and so forth. It never varies.
-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six waves to the minute, no matter if calm or stormy.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, just as the Lord specified: thirty-fold, sixty-fold, and a hundredfold! (Mark 4:20)

God has caused the flowers to blossom at specified times during the day. Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture, and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!

If everything on this earth were analyzed in this way, we would SEE the Lord in it, every bit of it!

When we let our lives be ordered by Him, He can make ALL the things work out for us, things that we can’t. Wisdom prays and asks Him for help, to make our life “WORK”.

The One Who made our brain and heart is also able to successfully guide us to a profitable end.

May God Bless You In Ways You Never Even Dreamed of, Today, Tomorrow, and all the Tomorrows to Come!

ABBA, thank You for this information. Thank You that You are ORDERLY! HOLY SPIRIT, I pray these facts and figures will bring each reader to a place of awe of YOU O LORD.
