No, It Must Be a Ghost!

-


 Don't forget about the Spirit of God because then we could never be alone.  If i ever feel out of touch with God or Jesus, the Spirit reminds me that they're still around.  What Joy!  Being worldly and of the flesh blinds me to the way i must go.  That's when the devil and his demons win.  They think they're in charge but it is only temporary.  Unfortunately, i've heard self-righteous lip service in the name of the Lord from the ones walking in pride who think walking the Christian life is a competition when it isn't.

Nobody can be governed to believe anything or in anybody.  If Christ stood before some people's bed at night not many would believe He was the One standing right there.  Remember the ones who prayed for Peter's release from prison didn't believe he was actually standing there knocking on their door.  "No, it must be a ghost!"  They had rather believed that Peter met his demise in prison and stood outside their door in spirit.  i must pray and believe in faith.  Thank You, Lord, for the gift of Your Holy Spirit because i'm never alone.  Thank You for telling me that my faith has made me well and i can go on my way to do Your will.  What others intend for evil and mayhem You intend for my good.  For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. - [2 Timothy 3: 1-2]

There is a God, a Savior, a Holy Spirit, a Bible, an eternal city and sure and certain hope.  God is perfect love and His love casts out fear.

Broiled Fish and Some Honeycomb

 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...
