The Perfect Plummet Stone

'Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away.' Isaiah 28:16-17 (NLT)

'But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.”' Timothy 2:19 (NLT)

When in times of need, it never hurts to look to Christ for the answer. He promised to provide for all that we need. Why not look to Him? He was sent to die for all mankind and to be the foundation stone chosen by God for the Church and the cornerstone in which His Church was build upon. He was and is righteous and able to support it. He was and is the Perfect Plummet Stone. He is the perfect plummet stone which is the Tool that all quality builders use. All that place their faith in Him should have no reason to worry.

For those who put their faith in Him, He is the only hope of escape from the wrath that is to come.  For justification, the believer puts their trust in His righteousness alone. For wisdom and strength we rely on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In God we find His favor and through Him we find our peace, joy and happiness. 

For those who put their faith in themselves they will find themselves to be inadequate in the spiritual realm and in the ways of God. God set up His Kingdom with His Laws and God will judge us based on His Laws which are fair and just.  We are not able to live by His Laws on our own. He will bless all who choose to believe in Him and to live under His Rule of Law and they will live and for those that don't believe He will destroy.

For His Truth stands firm and yet He may be calling me to give up some things. He may be putting me to the test. He may be telling me to purge and to clean out a few rooms in my refuge in order to make more room for Him in my life. Knowing Him is knowing that He loves me and only wants the best for me. He paid a great price for me and the peace and the joy that I find in Him will cost me something as well. I will have to part with the things of this world that I have placed my faith in that are not of Him. Be gone you lies of the enemy, be gone with you and good riddance. To the hail and to the floods you things of evil that distract me must go. Spiritual gains for Him will far outweigh the losses to myself and my flesh. For His Glory I gladly give.  I belong to Him. I turn away from evil and I turn to Him.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
