Part of the Counterculture

-

Time to take a stand, no matter the price of doing so.  No weapon formed against me shall prosper.  Anything that seems to be evil from somebody's weapon God intends for good, even if the evil comes from a non-believer.  God opposes the evil that occurred after the Kansas City Chief victory parade yesterday.  Yet, somehow a different perspective is obtained from the incident.  This to me was a direct mirror reflection on what occurred in Israel on October 7--people doing nothing but celebrating and from that comes disaster.  Perhaps this was a warning that indeed something worse is being planned by evil forces and this is only going to prepare us.  


No weapon formed against the followers of the Lord shall prosper and no tongue raised in judgement or protest against the followers of Christ shall prevail, for the Lord will condemn it.  This is in our heritage. The flow of culture is beginning to disintegrate, O Lord, and i know You are watching on and are making Your plans and moves to counter it all.  Your hand will guide and manipulate history just as it always has.  i will put all my trust in You and not be discouraged under the circumstances.  i pray that all the followers--true followers--realize this as much as i do.

Being a Christian means being part of the counterculture.  Watch over us, Lord, as we now stand in the minority.  Because of You, us true followers have not felt intimated and that feeling will continue.  i pray that You will be there to help the evildoers tie their own nooses around their own necks.  The anger and hate if feel towards evildoers is waning because i know You're always here watching and waiting and making Your plans to infiltrate and to subdue any evil infiltration in this country, like what might be happening now at the border.

Broiled Fish and Some Honeycomb

 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...
