One Last U-Turn

-

Heavenly Father, i'm beginning to understand what Brother Jack Hibbs means when he says it's time to quit.  And i know about putting my problems and dilemmas at the foot of the Cross and leave everything to You through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  And i understand what Brother Rick Renner is talking about when he says to stand firm, keep my post, to resolve that i am going to remain faithful.  Yes, the best season of my life is just around the corner and it will not be my doing at all.  YAH, You will have Your guiding hand on me because You know i'm ready to listen and obey.  In Jesus' name. Amen



Even at my worst, thanks to YHA, i am better than the devil at his best.  Therefore submit to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you. - [James 4:7] As i  live in faith and no longer just visit, i find that there are no compromises when it comes to You, YAH.  i'm tired of what people are trying to tell me what's okay.  i know what's not okay.  i pity people who know better but have turned their backs on their faith.  i hope they get wisdom.  Enough to revisit their Bibles.  Abba Father, put Your guiding hand on them because You know they're ready to listen and obey.  In Jesus' name.  Amen

For me, it always comes down to one last U-turn.  i've got to come to You, so You can show me Your love and compassion.  Take me through the valleys, Lord, and to the mountaintop.  You are gracious and You will be with me as Teacher.  This is the way i shall go, whether to the right or left.  Help me to commit all my decisions to You and to seek Your will in all i do.  In Jesus' name, Amen

 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...
