Stand By

'Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.' 2 Timothy 4:18 (NLT)

 It's not, 'I might', or 'if I could I would' or even 'I should', but no, Paul says that the Lord WILL deliver me. Amen.  So then, deliver me from what, save me from whomever will. Consider this, a world where a man like Paul would have enemies! Isn't that absurd! Isn't that disgusting? So unbelievable, and yet it is true. We know that many have nothing but anger in their hearts for God. and for the men and women of God. So then we must pray and believe that God will put us in His perfect Will and that He will deliver us from all evil attacks and will bring us safely home. So then, what's to stop us from our mission? Praying and believing will dissolve all fear. Praying and believing will drum up the power of the Heavenly host of the God Armies! Amen. 

 Paul dealt with lions, ship wrecks, judges and even the likes of Nero in his day. Because our God is near, we, the called, can absolutely face our own giants. Those that hate us may be road blocks in the way, but God will remove those, so that we might get to the one on the side of the road that is hurting and is open to hearing the Good News! Stand by. And for Paul, he was martyred and transferred from the powers of darkness into his heavenly home and eternal Kingdom of Light. Amen.

 So, as I go through the open doors I never cease to be amazed by what is on the other side! Simply amazed! Walk it out. I just can't seem to get enough. I am inspired by the miracles, the healing, the deliverance, and the power of God. Through prayer He is activated. The Almighty is near and is on display everyday! Through His power I am moved to pray even more. Lord, don't stop! Stand by me. I need You. I need You to keep saving, keep healing, keep delivering! Stand by me and be You. All to Your Glory. Forever and ever! Amen!

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

Image
 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

Up is Down Times

Image
‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having ...
