In The Name of My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ

-

 Mother had been loaded down with her own issues, and i know toward the end of her life she had plenty of issues as she was just "waiting to die."  i don't recall many times when i was unable to come up with the appropriate emotional responses.  Presently, i'm pleased because i've been able to temper those responses and keep things in their proper perspective, but that's only because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within me. i find elation many times now when i'm behind closed doors, when i'm in my room by myself.  The Counselor is rejoicing with me.  Many times i can follow His lead. When people are rejoicing, that's the time for you to join in the celebration and rejoice along with them. -[Romans 12:15]


Abba Father, help me to put my flesh out of the way for a few minutes and to follow the Holy Spirit's lead in rejoicing for another when he's feeling joy.  Keep reminding me to rejoice deliberately so i can be set free from the anger and resentment i tend to feel toward others.  Present to me the opportunities to provide those tender touches to those who are weeping.  Help me to discern between who is genuine and who is counterfeit.  Protect me from the lures of demonic forces who think they're reigning over this world while You are always on Your throne in total control.  In Jesus's name.  Amen

They could've been on the ark with Noah but they didn't listen.  And there will be great earthquakes in various places and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. -[Luke 21:11]  Thank You, Abba Father, for choosing me for this age.  Help me to continue to examine myself as i venture further on the journey You've provided for me.  Keep me pr ductive as i try to work for Your Kingdom.  Keep me on Your path.  i know i've had a tendency to slp in the past.  i trust in You with all my heart and know You are on the throne and You are always in control.  In the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Amen

They Do Evil Before Your Eyes

Abba Father, may i be slow to speak against and curse at those who proclaim to be Christians who are only lending lip service.  Those who bear no fruit who perform fake actions and provide no service to You.  May You always reform me by removing the constant flow of impurities that i may put into my heart and brain.  i have no excuses. i only have responsibilities.  Refine and make me stronger in Jesus' name.  Amen "He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man, He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine's blood; He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.  Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So I will choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight."  -[Isaiah 66: 3-4] Use me, Abba...

 If they're gonna spy...stare...glare...sneer...spit at me, i'll give 'em something to spy...stare...glare...sneer...and spit at... Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it.  This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. - [Ezekiel 1:28] As long as i hear what You are saying, Lord...that's all that matters.  I shall not murder, nor be afraid for my body should anyone consider murdering me, either randomly or premeditated; I have no fear of death because all but one of Your disciples were executed for Your name.  i shall lay down my life for another just as Jesus Christ had laid down His life for me.  Repentance is a wonderful gift You've granted me, and i humbly accept.  May i know and always be aware of Your Truth.  Repentance isn't a self-help tool.  It's a humble response to a good and holy God.   i am listening for whatever You deci...

Who Needs That?!

If i can stop smoking and looking into porn--that was a tough one and Satan still keeps me thinking about it--then i can get others to follow Jesus because Jesus is the key.  If i can be saved, help me save others in Jesus' name.  Amen  Abba Father, keep me humble, make me always aware that even my good deeds are worthless.  It doesn't matter.  The blood of Jesus is my only way into heaven.  Keep me on the narrow path and bless me with blessing others by getting on the narrow path as well.  Bless and preserve and protect the likes of John MacArthur and Jonathan Kahn who seem to my human, mortal mind to be the ones to pay attention to.  i pray for the gay--that they will repent as i have--and i'm still working on it--repentance is a process.  Only by Your grace was i able to begin to change, Dear Lord.  Help me to clarify and strengthen my testimony, focusing on Your doing and may others not confuse me for some "special" person who has so...
