Pick It UP

-


 i know that You are with me and i love You knowing You won't leave me, Lord Jesus, i belong to You forever...

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, no angels nor principalities nor power nor things present nor things to come Nor height nor depth nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord --[Romans 8: 38-39]

Once i received Christ as my Lord and Savior i've never been separated from Him.  He promised me that, and He is fulfilling his promise.  No person or thing could equal the value of such a relationship with the One who died and paid for my ticket into eternal life.  i know You'll take away this pain in my right leg.  I have no doubt it will go away, as though You were chasing away a demon from my life.

"...teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with You always, even to the end of the age."--Matthew 28:20

Why would it be a surprise to realize that in my 67th year God would point out to me His purpose for my life?

Yesterday i was walking in a parking lot and came across an attractive neon-green golf ball just lying there; if i had been walking on a golf course i would've passed it by.  But since it was just lying so out of place, i had to pick it up.  Why would i not pick it up?  Nobody would've just let it sit there is someone left it there on purpose, he would've expected somebody would've come along and pick it up...

That's what the Bible is, a beautiful attractive Word left by Someone in hopes it would be picked up.

They Do Evil Before Your Eyes

Abba Father, may i be slow to speak against and curse at those who proclaim to be Christians who are only lending lip service.  Those who bear no fruit who perform fake actions and provide no service to You.  May You always reform me by removing the constant flow of impurities that i may put into my heart and brain.  i have no excuses. i only have responsibilities.  Refine and make me stronger in Jesus' name.  Amen "He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man, He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine's blood; He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.  Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So I will choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight."  -[Isaiah 66: 3-4] Use me, Abba...

 If they're gonna spy...stare...glare...sneer...spit at me, i'll give 'em something to spy...stare...glare...sneer...and spit at... Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it.  This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. - [Ezekiel 1:28] As long as i hear what You are saying, Lord...that's all that matters.  I shall not murder, nor be afraid for my body should anyone consider murdering me, either randomly or premeditated; I have no fear of death because all but one of Your disciples were executed for Your name.  i shall lay down my life for another just as Jesus Christ had laid down His life for me.  Repentance is a wonderful gift You've granted me, and i humbly accept.  May i know and always be aware of Your Truth.  Repentance isn't a self-help tool.  It's a humble response to a good and holy God.   i am listening for whatever You deci...

Who Needs That?!

If i can stop smoking and looking into porn--that was a tough one and Satan still keeps me thinking about it--then i can get others to follow Jesus because Jesus is the key.  If i can be saved, help me save others in Jesus' name.  Amen  Abba Father, keep me humble, make me always aware that even my good deeds are worthless.  It doesn't matter.  The blood of Jesus is my only way into heaven.  Keep me on the narrow path and bless me with blessing others by getting on the narrow path as well.  Bless and preserve and protect the likes of John MacArthur and Jonathan Kahn who seem to my human, mortal mind to be the ones to pay attention to.  i pray for the gay--that they will repent as i have--and i'm still working on it--repentance is a process.  Only by Your grace was i able to begin to change, Dear Lord.  Help me to clarify and strengthen my testimony, focusing on Your doing and may others not confuse me for some "special" person who has so...
