Nothing Is Too Hard For the Lord

-


 Only Satan gave me the right to eat of the forbidden fruit; Christ gave me the right to change and no longer have the desire to indulge in that fruit.  Everyday with constant occurrences and problem people could become a blanket over my burning heart.  A heart of fire ablaze and given visions. The final outcome of a given emotion.  If it's something with which God would not be pleased, i can smother with my own blanket.  cancel it.  Like a blanket of my own over a destructive blaze.  The higher the emotion the deeper the level of corruption if it isn't exercised on its intended level.  

May Your Spirit stir me up more and more and may i act upon it as quickly as i can so that it doesn't lose the intensity You intended.  If Your spirit has stirred me my decision should be irrevocable and let the consequences be as they may.  

"Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man...Every plant which My heavenly father has not planted will be uprooted."-[Matthew 15:11, 13]

As long as Satan has men who have made total commitments to the magnification of their own egos, he seldom has to intervene directly-- man so given to serving self or serving Satan faithfully.  Satan is ego-incarnate.  i am to forgive others because God has done as much for me.  Goodness and purity shouldn't draw any attention to me but should draw people to Jesus Christ.  i am one of the friends of the bridegroom.  Satan uses the strategy of elevation only through temptation; God elevates me to heavenly places.  "Come up higher," He says. 

"Is anything too hard for the Lord?  At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and sarah shall have a son." - [Genesis 18:14]

 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...
