Calf Muscle Pump

'And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,  which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.' Ephesians 1:22-23 (NASB)


 Jesus Christ is ruler over all creation. He is the supreme ruler of all nations. The universe is under His control. He controls all angels in heaven as well as fallen angels.  He is Savior of all men.

'He is the head of the body, which is the church. Everything comes from him. He is the first one who was raised from the dead. So in all things Jesus has first place.' Colossians 1:18 (NCV)

It would be wise to pay close attention to the pump that moves the blood and to listen for the very heartbeat of God and know that the Church is the body of Christ and He is the head. In all things Jesus has first place. Everything comes from Him.

'So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.' Matthew 28:19 (NCV)
 

The largest pump in my body is my leg muscle. I must exercise that muscle to build it up and make it strong. It pushes blood back to my heart. I am to go and make disciples for Jesus and continue building His kingdom as long as I have breath in my lungs. I am to get up and do my part.

 To God be the glory. He is great and all Glory in heaven and on earth belongs to Him.
Amen.

Dear Father.
When the virus passes, let me never again take for granted the things that are important. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to reassess my life and to get rid of some of the things that have burdened me down.

Thank you for bringing love and compassion back. You have never left me through the process. Stay beside me during the return.

You have given me this great opportunity to make changes and to give up a few things temporary. In my home I prayed and I remembered those whom have died, I remembered those whom I am connected to, I remembered You. We both shed a few tears over some of the things that were lost.

Through it all, I look at things differently now. How very very complicated this world is and how linked together we all really are to one another. Help me to remember to keep my life simple and to rest. I strive to love and to accept this world, for better or for worse, and in sickness and in health and to change the things about myself that will make me a better person in You. 

In Jesus's name.
Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' 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 ...

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 ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
