A God Among Us and a Spirit Within Us

-

 Abba Father, help me to convey that the only way to have joy is to repent and become more righteous than i've ever been.  i know You don't expect perfection.  Jesus was the only perfect person to ever walk this earth.  A God among us and a Spirit within us.  Thank You for letting me know Your Holy Spirit is communicating with me whenever You allow it.  Help me convey that a happy life here on this earth  is only an illusion and Satan dances in the street when he sees how delusional we all can be.  The joy of being righteous can only be appreciated and realized while in Heaven.


Twenty years ago i wouldn't even have wasted my time considering that.  The only wisdom i've got is the  wisdom You've allowed me to have.  Happiness is the delusion.  It is joy i should always focus on.  Joy that can only come from repentance and believing in the marvelous gift You gave me on the Cross.  Because of Your Holy Spirit i'm calmer now when evil sprouts up all around me, when i am able to discern the real Christians from the counterfeit ones.  That gift comes only from You and You are  the one who deserves all glory!

i'll dive into my tasks whole hog and wind up being very productive.  i want to take risks .  Do great things but only for God's glory and nothing else.  i'll give my all until there's nothing left to give.  i am believing now that every situation i'm in is the will of God.  i want to spend more time feeding my spirit on other sources that will help me to grow more spiritually instead of just breathing in manure and fertilizer.  Different books and videos have really begun to become invaluable.  Heavenly Father , i as that our feet jorney together.  May our hearts and hands gather in unity.  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...
