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.

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
