Believing in that Empty Tomb

-

 It's an honor to be hated by the world for loving the cross and most of all for believing in that empty tomb.  "Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy."--[John 16:20]  The glory of God gives the city its lights.  Living for God's glory will be my greatest achievement.  Even among the serpents and scorpions will i seek to achieve what is bountiful to God for He runs this dwelling and it's here for some reason, and i'm here for some reason though i haven't figured it out yet.  But this isn't about me and it isn't about the serpents and scorpions and the heathens.


i'm not in the dark anymore about what God is like because He's been illuminated by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  It isn't about me.  It's about Him.  i could never become a light of this world without knowing Jesus.  The Word became Him and He walked this earth.  He is glory full of grace and truth.  God deserves the glory and the praise!  That's why we declare the glory of God, because He deserves it!  It's not about me or anyone else.  My success is because He's given me the most precious gifts i could ever receive and accept.  My sins fail to give God the glory He deserves...forgive me, Heavenly Father.  Bringing You glory is my supreme goal for the rest of this earthly existence.  Help me figure out what i should do.  

i'm not capable or worthy enough to design my own way.  i leave the designing to You.  Tell me what to do, O Lord.  You enemies take a hike!  Slither on down the hall and out the door from this Motormouth Motel.  My heavenly Father and my Lord and Savior are running this show now.

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...

A Humble Response to a Good and Holy God

 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...
