Kindle the Fire

Gallery Leave a comment

Without a doubt I am reading this verse out of context but even so I have heard ABBA’s voice and I am rejoicing in it.

14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
via Jeremiah 21:13-14 KJV – Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant – Bible Gateway.

I got ahead of myself and posted a blurb to Facebook before coming here.  I said this:

“But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings . . . ”
Jer. 21:14 in part. These words blessed and comforted me this morning.
And no not because I am wanting to see anyone ‘get what is coming to them’. Waiting for that would put me in line for discipline myself.
I am grateful that GOD is just. That He governs all and that I can trust Him to correct ME justly! And I use the word correct because for me that is what He does — JESUS has already taken ALL MY PUNISHMENT. Oh how AWESOME HE IS!!!
Just saying. Take it for what it is worth to you. ABBA rules! :)


Perhaps I can elaborate here. Truly I am grateful that I stand individually before ABBA. That He individually looks after my doings and when my doings violate His Word, He deals with me. He kindles a fire.  Praise Him for that!! And may that fire be so that it burns away and devours all that offends Him. Burns it away in the here and now. I Corinthians sheds more light on why I say that.  Look. See what I mean.

14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
via 1 Corinthians 3:14-16 KJV – If any man’s work abide which he hath – Bible Gateway.

May I heed the fire here and prevent the need for fire there!! So tell me am I alone in this? Any others see and amen this?  Just curious.

And I have something else burning in my soul too. I am as convinced of it as anything in a long while. It is this:

Praying Together Aloud in the Body of Christ will bring the revival fires that some are saying we need not only in the Churches but in America.

It is the gathering together of the People of GOD, coming together, assembling for the expressed purpose of joining voices and hearts in PRAYER that will move the Hand of GOD on behalf of this world.  Closet prayer is a MUST but it is not enough! Gathering together and one leading in prayer and others praying silently is good; there is time and place for that but if we want a Move of the HOLY SPIRIT, we will assemble others (even by telephone) together and we will speak our praise and our petitions before the Throne of GOD. Have we not read that life and death are in the power of the tongue? Have we not read that we are  commanded to speak words of life?

If we want Him to move, we will obey, we will gather together and voice our praise and our petitions to Him and He will hear from heaven and He will heal us and this land. Does He hear and answer individual, voiced only in the heart prayer? Of course He does! It is not He that needs the coming together it is us! We are edified and our own faith is increased when we hear our brothers and sisters pouring out their hearts in fervent, effective, righteous prayer before our Father.  

If you have ever heeded any word you have read here at The White Stone, hear this one: Seek and find the prayer partner/partners that ABBA has for you and voice your praise and petition to Him, together regularly and often!

This has been a long one so I shall not keep you longer.

HOLY SPIRIT, take this writing offering and administer it as You will. Thank You for miracles of healing and miracles of protection we have seen and we pray for more. We ask You to heal our sick and afflicted and to save our wayward, rebellious souls we love so much. Amen and     .

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,
Praying (PFT)!

Permanent Record

Gallery Leave a comment

Perhaps today’s school systems have abandoned permanent records but this morning I was remembering the phrase that was heard from time to time in my school days, not in regards to me, of course :)  : ‘this is going on your permanent record‘!

Permanent Record

It is a sobering thought. You see even if our schools or our society abandon permanent records, GOD does not. Every thought that does not measure up to His perfection, every action that is not pure in motive and perfectly executed goes on our permanent record as SIN.

Daniel 7:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
via Dan 7: 9-10 KJV – I beheld till the thrones were cast – Bible Gateway.

Psalm 53: King James Version (KJV)
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
via Psalm 53:2-4 KJV – God looked down from heaven upon the – Bible Gateway.

Matthew 5:48 King James Version (KJV)
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
via Matthew 5:48 KJV – Be ye therefore perfect, even as your – Bible Gateway.

See what I mean? GOD keeps a permanent record and if you and I are not PERFECT we will bear the fiery stream for our imperfection – our sin.

I don’t know about you but that is HORRIBLY BAD NEWS if you ask me! The absolute worst of all bad news!

A permanently flawed, permanently bad, permanently imperfect record that cannot be expunged by any effort I make! So tell me does it get any worse than that?

But hold on! There is GOOD news! Glorious! The BEST in the Universe GOOD News!!

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. via Romans 6:22-23 KJV – But now being made free from sin, and – Bible Gateway.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. via 2 Corinthians 5:16-18 KJV – Wherefore henceforth know we no man – Bible Gateway.

1 John 4: King James Version (KJV)
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
via 1 John 4:9-11 KJV – In this was manifested the love of God – Bible Gateway.

So has your permanent record been expunged from your name and placed over into JESUS? Have you been adjudicated to have received His permanent righteous record?

Yes? Then rejoice and be exceedingly glad today!!

No? Then in truth, you have NOTHING to be glad about. REPENT and BELIEVE the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST and LIVE! 

Permanent Record!

Who’s permanent record do you want to stand on in the Day of Accounting? HIS or yours? That’s a No Brain-er if you ask me.

ABBA, I had only an inkling when You introduced permanent record in my thinking this morning. My words will never be enough to say thank You to You so, HOLY SPIRIT, I invite You to move me to acts of gratitude. And I pray that for each who comes here to read and pray. Another precious, hurting, gravely ill child was brought to me last night via email for prayer. We are privileged to bring him to You this morning, collectively, asking that You heal him and restore him to his family.  And others, all that comes to mind in all of us we ask that You heal our sick and afflicted and that You save and rescue our lost and wayward. Thank You for saving and rescuing us; for expunging our records and replacing them with Your very Own, LORD JESUS. It is more than we can comprehend but we accept. Thank You. We look forward to worshiping and thanking You Face to face. Amen.

14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
via Mark 1:14-16 KJV – Now after that John was put in prison, – Bible Gateway.

Mark 16: Amplified Bible (AMP)
15 And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race].
16 He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned.

just reporting in today. I am thinking of you. Have prayed for you by name or email address (whichever I have). 

We have this word on the 3-year-old we have been praying for:

Just an update on the toddler for whom the prayers were given—he has “perked up” some trying to move about, they have identified the bacteria causing the brain lesions and physicians are hopeful that a dilation of his esophagus will be possible next week.  Our God is an Awesome God.

Sheila is scheduled for surgery May 7. We plead for your prayers in this.

Kathleen has some disturbing medical issues. Prayers for her desired and appreciated.

And there are others.    Praying (PFT)!

It is a beautiful sunny day in Lower Alabama.  A good day to desire to learn to sit quietly before the LORD and enjoy His presence.  That is what I have prayed for us today. Perhaps today we begin a quest to be trained by the HOLY SPIRIT to do this very thing.  :)

21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

22 The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

26 It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD.

via Lamentations 3 NASB – Jeremiah Shares Israel’s Affliction – Bible Gateway.

Again, ABBA, I pray for these and others that we will desire to learn to sit quietly with You, enjoying Your Holy Presence.  And yet in this moment, I do ask that You heal our sick and raise those who are dead in trespasses and sins to eternal life in CHRIST JESUS. Amen and  .
