Home and In Love!

I am home and in love and more in love.

Savannah, Georgia, particularly the Historic District and more particularly The Mulberry Inn have etched a place in my soul.  I am longing to return there, this time with my beloved husband and the two of us stay for a few days. I’ve even reminded the LORD that Hubby and I will be glad to minister the Gospel as we walk, visiting those beautiful places. :) He knows I’m not kidding!

And then it was on to North Charleston, South Carolina. We saw very little of South Carolina but we heard ABBA through His choice servant, Beth Moore, and that made the many miles worth it all. Beth was tough on us and we needed it! That’s why I say I am home more in love.

And this morning I began a new study. A Housewife Desperate for God by Mariel Davenport. And with the Introduction and Day One I am delighted! I hope you will check it out and see what it’s about for yourself.

One of the passages Mariel took me to today was 2 Timothy 3:16-17. A very familiar passage. You know it well, don’t you?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

via 2 tim 3:16-17 NASB – All Scripture is inspired by God and – Bible Gateway.

See that word adequate? How many times have you felt inadequate? If you are like me, many! How many times have you put yourself down, speaking how inadequate you are? If you are like me, many! Shame on us!

We are more than adequate! We are equipped! In JESUS name we are equipped for every good work He has called us to – today!

How’s that for good news?!

Love and smiles to you and prayers for you my Friends –

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

2 Peter 1: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

via 2 Peter 1 NASB – Growth in Christian Virtue – Simon – Bible Gateway.

HAS GRANTED!

Did you see that? has granted.  My Friends that is past tense! He has already done it!

EVERYTHING, PERTAINING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS!

Everything YOU and I need today to live this life in godliness He has already granted! We don’t have to beg Him for it. We don’t have to cry and plead and beg and wonder if He will. He already has!

YOU already have ALL you will need today to do this day RIGHT.

Me too.

But there is a catch.

We have to APPLY His ALREADY ALL READY provision in the moment of our need.

And we CAN do that today.  It’s our choice.

And, ABBA, as I get up from here moving quickly as the morning is well on its way and much is lined up to do, thank You for this word from Your Word. By Your Grace we will be applying it in JESUS name and for His sake as well as our own and others. We bring our sick and afflicted asking that You heal them. Our rebellious and oblivious, thanking You for pursuing them, trusting they will yet stop and allow You to redeem them. Israel, always praying for Your Peace upon Her and in Her. America, save us, ABBA. Save us in JESUS name.

Just Asking. . .

I John 4:16 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

via 1 John 4 NASB – Testing the Spirits – Beloved, do not – Bible Gateway.

I wonder what this day would be like if you and I believed – I mean REALLY believed that GOD, THE GOD of this Universe LOVES us – I mean REALLY loves us.

What would REALLY believing that do for our respect for ourselves and others?

What would it do for our words when someone cuts us off in traffic?

What would it do for us when the pantry is as low as the checking account?

What would it do for us when her fever is 104 degrees and the doctors don’t know why?

What would it do for us when he is a cheater and seems to be getting by with it?

What would it do for us when she lies and yet gets the promotion and we don’t?

And the ‘what would it do-s’ could go on and on.  You have a few in mind yourself, don’t you?

So why don’t we believe more?

What would it take for us to believe more?

And will we do what it takes?

Just asking.  Who’s answering?

I’m asking ABBA. Asking and believing that You, HOLY SPIRIT, are speaking this morning and You are enabling every seeking, honest heart to believe. To believe more deeply Your love for us. And in that believing we will be changed; that hope and faith, love and compassion will grow in us and in the growing of these things Your Joy will abound in us; for our own well-being and that of others and Your Kingdom, ABBA.  We would not forget You have invited, even commanded us to bring our sick and afflicted for prayer, asking You, LORD JESUS, to heal them and restore them. And as many times before the rebellious and oblivious we bring, trusting You to pursue them until they surrender to Your LORDSHIP.  I pray for Israel, for Her peace and the subduing of all her enemies, for Her protection and well-being, for strategic wisdom, all that is needed for Her to have the peace and provisions that You have promised. And I pray for America. ABBA, please save this Nation. Surely there are 10 righteous that You will spare and save America for Your Name Sake.

1 John 1:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
via I john 1:5 NASB – God Is Light – This is the message we – Bible Gateway.

GOD has NO dark side. No dark personality quirks. No dark moody moments. No dark, foreboding agenda. No darkness!

None.

Not Ever!

Who else can we say that about?

None. Zilch!

Only GOD!

What sense does it make to reject HIM?

None. Zilch!

No darkness in You, ABBA. That is glorious! And we want no darkness in us either and thank You that You are diligently working in us to crucify our dark moody moments, our dark agendas, our dark personality quirks, all our dark sides.  For surely our dark sides come from our flesh, that fallen nature of sin that You came LORD JESUS to save us from. Thank You for rescuing us and continuing to rescue us moment by moment. Thank You that we will one day have no dark sides either. And thank You for the LIGHT shining in us today.  We agree to work with You so more of Your LIGHT will be seen in us and less and less darkness.  Thank You, ABBA.   We bring our sick and afflicted and ask You to heal them. Thank You for the fantastic progress in Dori. Thank You that Don is in remission. Thank You for every healing we have seen and yet there are more and I ask You to heal them too. Kerri, ABBA. Please heal Kerri. And the rebellious and wayward. There are many in our families and circles of friends. Thank You for fighting for them, ABBA.  I pray we will all join You in this battle for their souls. And Israel, I am praying for Her Peace and for the subduing of all Her enemies.  For America, I am praying for Statesmen and Heroes who will honor You, proclaim You and influence the people to repent and be saved.  ABBA, please save America. And a special World Changers group out on mission this week, they are dear and precious people, thank You for protecting them, thank You for giving them evangelizing moments as the physically minister in JESUS name.
