His Joy Is My Home Address

-

 i must keep my hands open for the blessings He has for me today.  His joy is my home address. "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.  These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and your joy may be full. --[John 15:10-11]  Joy in Him flows from my connection with Him and transcends my circumstances.  

"...The day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep...Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared..." ---[Nehemiah 8: 9-10]

i am retired, yet although i don't have the conventional

job, i do have a mission:

to eat, drink, have joy in the Lord

and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared


He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the son of His love in whom we have redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sins. --[Colossians 1: 13-14]

It is not acceptable to speak of Jesus as Lord yet defy His will and His word; in fact, some of us don't even know Him because we don't even read his Word acting with pride and clamor.  He rules over me for my good.  He purchased me with His blood!

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...
