Dragged Down Into Satan's Septic Tank

-


 Folks don't realize that He's the same Christ now as He was back before Paul even wrote Romans.  Christ lays down His life for me now as He did back to a Roman Centurion standing, watching Him crucified on the Cross, the One who is truly the Son of God now as He was then.  And i'm no longer invited to the Wedding...i'm already part of it!  God doesn't have me believe i'm lovable.  He brings a number of people who i cannot respect around me, and yet i must exhibit my love for them, just as He loves me, unlovable me.  i must always keep in mind how He has dealt with me even when i turned my back on Him.

Lord, Your voice is so gentle.  It's easy for me to ignore or not hear.  i didn't do anything to achieve my salvation, but i must do everything to exhibit it.  i must work out what is my salvation.  That's my occupation now.  May i be able to face anything You bring my way.  You haven't cut me off without a penny!  Why should i ever feel that way?  There's something in my flesh and in my mind that opposes You at times and all Satan's work seems to grow into fruition.  He wants me to be dragged down into his septic tank.  i depend on You for protection.  

But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;  We all fade as a leaf.  And our iniquities like the wind have taken us away.  And there is no one who calls on Your name, Who stirs himself up to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us, And have consumed us because of our iniquities. -[Isaiah 64: 6-7]

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...
