To Know Truth

-

 Abba Father, i praise You for having that feast ready in Your Kingdom.  Right now i don't know how to convince non-believers that there's a feast waiting for them as well.  If only they weren't so fixated on their worldly affairs as i once was.  i must admit that i could get along at the feast with a list a mile long of the absent brethren who were too busy with their own worldly affairs.  It would've been a waste of time to even try to tell them how close they all were to their salvation.  i hope we all have different voice in the Kingdom because to tell You the truth i get tired of hearing my own! i could increase the amount of humility and courage myself just to continue with this process of repentance.


To know truth requires doing it.  Love pleases God because love is who He is.  I must be careful not to be so presumptuous and do things God has not told me to do.  i must go forward in my journey in a manner worthy of God.  Help me, Lord, to find those fellow workers for the Truth. -[3 John 6,8]  You've already granted us all physical health, emotional stability, and prosperity.  May we successfully establish in the minds of others that simple wisdom.

Though i am a child of God, i can't obsess over being a dependent child the rest of my life.  You've forgiven me, so i forgive others.  It takes more than a dependent child to come up with that.  i've spent many years holding resentful distances with folks.  i'm not sure at this point how to remedy that.  i'm getting a grip on the concept of separating myself from evil and demonic idols and sinful practices.  i'm not perfect but You, Abba Father, have allowed me to exercise the liberty of grace, and i'm so thankful to You, YAH.

 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...
