Blessings and Miracles

-

i'd rather live by every blessing of God than to live miracle to miracle.  Miracles would mean that God would have to utilize "just--in-time" management, and i don't think i could expect that from Him.  YAH, help me to never need another miracle in my life.  Teach me what i need to know so that i can walk in Your blessings and prevent crises.  As i live in the abundance of Your blessings, make me a vessel through whom You can bring miracles to others who need them more than i.  Help me teach others that Your blessings are not things.  They are Your favors spoken over all of us.


i have to come to terms with my false pride and learn humility.  i know You are watching and ready to guide me in this area.  i know that being humble is a prerequisite for Your grace. i know that if i just say words to see if things will work, it won't.  Mixing faith with my words brings creative power to them, but only through Your blessing.  For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them, but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. - [Hebrews 4:2]

There is more to life than mere sound and fury.  Only You save, Abba Father.  A desire for me to save anybody is a damaging ministry.  Only You can work Your blessings and miracles in a non-believer.  Once i begin operating in the blessing Satan can't stop it!  The Holy Spirit helps me to understand.  i pray for those who are living crisis to crises.  They're violating spiritual, natural, and emotional laws and are not doing what Your Word says, yet they're believing in You for a miracle.  i pray that You would speak Your Word into their hearts right now and encourage them that it doesn't have to be this way, that they don't have to stay this way.  That they can tap into Your blessing and the favor You have spoken over them through Your Word.

 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...
