Time to Contemplate

Yes it's time to stop and think for a little bit.

In our world system, one gets up in the morning, then......go....go...go, then do... do.... do... then eat.... go...go.. go...do...do..., then go to bed. Next day the same routine. Before you know it you are just existing, working on auto pilot.

It is good to have a basic routine, but God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us and to show us how to operate His way.

Please take time to listen to Him. He will guide you into all truth.

John 16 v 13

""However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.""

How exciting is that????

He makes life worth living!

Knowing Him

John 17 v 3

""And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.""

The Lord showed me that if I am thinking over an issue/challenge more than I am resting in my relationship with Him, then that is an idol and needs to be brought down. 

This has been such a relief and brings such peace. When an issue comes up, I can peacefully hand it over to Him, then continue my praise and worshipful fellowship-relationship with Him. If anything needs to be done to solve the issue, then I am in the correct frame of mind to hear His voice and do anything He would like me to do concerning it.

Hallelujah!!!!!!

John 10 v 27

""My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.""

John 10 v 14

""I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.""

Oh Yes!!!!! The best thing in the world is to be in this love relationship with the Lord.

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Press Forward

Today I feel to tell you to go forward.

No matter what you are facing or how you feel.

You CAN go on!

Philippians 3 v 12-13

"Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,"

Whatever is happening to you now, you have a choice of how you are going to respond. You could allow your situation to pull you down or you could to decide to go forward with God.

GO FORWARD!

YOU CAN!!

I heard a testimony of a lady who had been raped something like 200 times by her Father. BUT, she decided to let God lead her forward and has been totally victorious! 

Once I told a friend that I was feeling totally out of my depth. He replied 'Swim!' It was like a light bulb came on. Yes - with Christ I can do all things!!! Was it easy - no! But did I get through??? - Yes!!!!

YAY!!!!!

So come on my friend, take the Lord's hand, put your trust in Him and walk forward - You can do it - that's why He asked me to write this - it was for you.

Jesus

My Jesus

Our Jesus

How sweet is His name to our lips. Wow! What He has attained for us! I bow down on my knees and worship you Jesus.

I read this morning:

Romans 13 v 14

"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."

Even though He is within me, I can also put Him on - imagine then - that is what the world will see - Jesus.

We will truly be the light of the world then if we are clothed in Jesus.

Matthew 5 v 14

""You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.""

Romans 14 v 17

"for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."

I learned about the Law of Focus recently. 

What you focus on increases.

So, when you concentrate on what you haven't got, or maybe on other's mistakes, that is what you will see more and more of.

BUT

When you concentrate on what Jesus has done for you and what He has attained for you, that is what you will see and experience more of!!! Hallelujah!!!

It also works for people. The more you look for the good points in people, the more you will find! And oh what a difference it makes to life!!!!

Partaking with Gusto!!

Psalm 23 v 5,6

"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever."

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

The Lord showed me what to write this morning as I was watching a dove eating out of the bowl of seed that I had put out.

May we eat what the Lord has put out for us this day- not only food!! All His provision for today. The flowers in our path, the rain, the food, the people, the situations. Partake of and take notice with thanksgiving - this is not a boring life - He provides richly and abundantly. Eat with gusto of the life He gives us - new mercies everyday!!!

Wow!! That is Fantastic!!!!

Look around and notice the beauty He has put out for you and enjoy with thanksgiving.

It's a Beautiful New Day!

Grace

Thank you so much to everyone who has waited for me to write a post again, and have faithfully checked in to see if there was anything new. I appreciate you, and pray you may be so blessed for loving our Jesus.

Where can we begin to talk about this most wonderful gift called "Grace"???

We can only touch the surface.

Can we fathom how much He loves us to have sent Jesus and to allow Him to go through what He went through for us????

WOW!!!!!

Stop and make time in your day, all through the day to love Him, to thank Him, to picture yourself hugging Him. Yes He is ALL powerful God, but He is also our Abba, Our Daddy.

It has made such a remarkable difference to my life to do this. This is building relationship with Him and this is what it is all about.

John 6 v 29

"Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.""

2 Tim 1 v 9

"who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began."

How AWESOME is that??? Different to what we picture works hey???

As we worship, love, praise, pursue and enjoy our Lord all throughout our day, His purposes and works will flow out of our life from Him in us.

So we don't have to try and generate them ourselves. Out of our lives will flow the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

How glorious is that????

2 Tim 2 v 9

"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."

HALLELUJAH!!!!

Free Gift!

You don't have to pay for it!!!

How many times in life do we hear - "Buy this and you get a free gift"?

There is good news!

One thing in life you don't have to buy or earn.

Our Blessed Salvation through Jesus!!!

Ephesians 2 v 8

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,"

HALLELUJAH!!!!!

Romans 5 v 18

"Therefore, as through one man's offence judgement came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life."

Romans 6 v 14

"For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."

Thank you Lord for SUCH a precious gift!!!!!

We just have to accept and receive. His sacrifice was more than enough!!!!

Romans 6 v 23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Wow! How Awesome is that????!
