She/he Inquired of the Lord

 '“But what did he do?” they asked. “How did he heal you?”' John 9:26 NLT


 How excited I get when I read God's Word. The entire 9th chapter of John is so amazing. The chapter tells of how Jesus heals a man born blind. This young man was blessed with a miracle healing, and then you see the religious leaders of the day, trying to discredit the miracle, trying to trip up the young man, trying to catch Jesus in some kind of magic or breaking sabbath laws.   Why?
Simply. Why can't we accept God's Grace and rejoice with those that are healed? Why do we have to know every detail, and try to figure out the exact steps or maybe the lack thereof? Here we are. Crossroads between the spirit and the flesh. The flesh, always looking away from God and for the negative, the spirit only working with Jesus  and bringing us closer to Him.
But what did he do? The specifics please. Inquiring minds need to know. Can we get you to change your story? Can we find proof that Jesus is a fraud?
How did he heal you? The exact process, that you claim you are healed. That you claim Jesus healed you. That's all suspect from what we want to see and what we need to believe. 
It's good to ask questions. I have lots of them, but what I need too know is Truth. He never holds back answers from me. I want to see Jesus in everything. What the world has to offer doesn't interest me anymore. Give me more of what Jesus brings. Every breath. Even Life. To be more like Joshua and Caleb.

For, of the twelve scouts that were sent out to explore Canaan, the promised land, and after forty days only two, Joshua and Caleb, came back with a positive report. 'Let us go up at once and take possession for we are well able to overcome it.' Numbers 13:30. No one listened. God punished them all for it by making them wait forty years. Faith is a choice. God rewards those with a spirit of faith with many promises. We are to stand for God even when others don't. When we do He will bless us.

Dear Father

Thank you for Your Word that heals. Thank you for the measure of Faith that You have given to me. Thank you for the Bible Stories that teach and encourage. Thank you for the Bible Truths that speak for themselves. Thank you for Holy Spirit power and for Your Son Jesus who saves. Thank you for new beginnings, birthdays, children and grand children. Thank you for the Hope that is within me. We love You Lord. On this day, the Sabbath, I choose to stand for You, me and my family.

In Jesus' name.

Amen.

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
