Bible Treasure Hunt

'Your words were found, and I ate them,
    and your words became to me a joy
    and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
    O Lord, God of hosts.' Jeremiah 15:16 (ESV)
For those words that I am to share come directly from God. These specific words were heaven sent. I welcome them and I receive them just as if they were food. Food for a hungry soul. Every Word comes directly from God. I savor them and chew on every bite. I swallow them and digest them in my mind all day long. Mixed with faith, these words that build my faith become food for my soul and they bring joy to my heart. They refresh me because I know that He has sent them to me, and that He is in it.

Hearing the Words of the Gospel are like finding a treasure for I know that God speaks directly to me. He even knows my name. His Words are personal and they are true. He offers me hope through His doctrines of grace, salvation, pardon, peace and righteousness through which Christ is at the center of them all. Christ is the treasure in which I diligently seek. My desire is to know Him more.  I can know Him personally. He is there, and the depth of the treasures that I find in Him are in direct proportion to the amount of time that I spend during the search. I am totally submerged. My time is Yours Lord.
Dear Father. I am so grateful to You for hiding Your Words so that I might find them and find the Truths that bring me joy and that delight my heart. Thank you for being the God of grace and for knowing my name. I am proud to be called by Your Name. Thank you for sending Jesus to pardon me and to save me. I thank you that He is righteous and that He has brought me peace and made me right with You. 

I pray this fortieth day before the election for my President. Uphold him. Fill him with wisdom and the desire to do Your will. Confound the plans of the enemy. Bring to ruin the prophets of doom. Keep safe Your beautiful babies and children.

In Mighty Jesus's name I pray. 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

Up is Down Times

‘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 nice things, bu

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us
