Distraction, Detraction, Deflection

-


What's Blinken thinkin'?  While all evidence points to Iran, could it actually be Putin pulling the strings to attack Israel, using his war on the Ukraine as another "red herring?"  A distraction, detraction, defection?  Are there many meetings going on in many conference rooms?  i need to be that mathematical friend who's able to multiply the joy, divide the sorrow, subtract the past and add to tomorrow.

If the USA is expected to only spend on one war, then we needed to replace the Speaker of the House when we did.  "You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beast of the field to be devoured." -[Ezekiel 39:4] So why are we waiting and waiting for the Lord to gather us to His Kingdom?  We're waiting for the harvest to be ripe.

Whoever believes Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world. - [1 John 5:5] Help me align myself to Your will, Abba Father, and help me get the message across so that others are aligned with You as well.  You are the most holy, most high.  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  i pray humble in Jesus' name.  Amen

Any defeating habit in my life will rob me of my confidence in Your power if i let the demonic spirits have their ways with me.  You give me the mind and the strength to ward off this evil.  Only Jesus Christ can be the answer for me and others who are controlled by sin.  Let no principality destroy my incentive to share my faith and keep me from stumbling among the hypocrites.  The only way i can be an effective witness to others is when i remove the plank from my own eye!

 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...
