Good Luck to Anyone Who Tries to Evict Him

-

i held You in contempt during the past 15 years.  Please forgive me as i confess that sin.  i misused Your gift of writing.  i wouldn't even acknowledge or name You.  i call You the "Creative Source" which You are but i didn't name You properly.  i confess that sin and i humbly ask that You forgive me.  Keep watching me as i strive to keep You smiling.  The man who used to dwell in and own my heart is dead.  My heart has been cleaned and washed out for Jesus Christ to move in.  Good luck to anybody who tries to evict Him.

"And thus you shall eat it; with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hands.  So you shall eat it in haste...Then He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said.  "Rise, Go out from among My people both you and the children of Israel.  And go serve the Lord as you have said. --[Exodus 12:11, 31]

Show me Lord how i can give my all, my 100% to You.  That's the only thing i'm interested in now.  Not the tiny house, not to get along with the wolves, not to get the money beyond the first fruits because i know You bless the remaining 90% anyway.  The more i realize You love me, the easier it is for me to surrender.

He loves me, He never lets me out of His sight.  He cares about every detail of my life.  i felt His calming presence even as the demons came to visit me this morning at 2:30.  i just let God take over my room, even though i didn't sleep as much as i needed, i still woke up fresh this morning and am still going strong at 11 a. m.

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
