Forgiven

'Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;' Acts 3:19 (NASB)

 It's a good place to start. A change my mind moment. When I wake up and see in my minds eye what blessings God offers me through His son Jesus Christ. Though as of yet I cannot see Him, as I must have faith to find my Joy. With faith in Him, it is at that moment that I see the writing on the wall, the errors of my past ways, and the benefits of my eternal future, flashed before my eyes, laid out for me so precisely just like a fine garment of grace when I return to God. My God Saves. My God forgives. Then the moments of refreshing come. Feeling guilty? Repent. Find Jesus! Amen.

Dear Father,

I thank you for Your Word. I thank you for Your son Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. For He has died to set me free. Through His Blood my sins are forgiven and washed away to be remembered by You no more. That is the best feeling, whenever I knew that I was forgiven, when Jesus found me and He made me free from the bondage of my sins. Your Spirit was kind enough to convict me of my sins. then. as it still does now whenever I fail You and repent and obey, then You, dear Lord, are eager to send the refreshing times of restoration.

Through the afflictions and fiery trials of life I know I must go, but not alone, for thou art with me. I am forgiven. It is in Your presence that I find rest. I find comfort. I find peace. I find You. In You, it's a good place to be. Thank You that You are there and I know that I can once again turn and come into your presence for cooling and into your Kingdom for glory and bliss. 

In Jesus' 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 ...

Mixing Oil and Water

 ' 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....

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 ...
