OUR FATHER WILL SEE US THROUGH

OUR FATHER WILL SEE US THROUGH

God is a very hands-on Father. He cares deeply about every creature of His creation, especially those who are the very image of His design in His likeness.

I miss the days when there were no cell phones. No computers. Limited three channels of black & white television or as it is known today "Satan's Panoramic Picture Window".

Today everything is instantaneous, precious little time is given to digest the barrage of information. To separate the "Wheat from the Chaff". To consider what it all means. If you let the shouting world steam roll over you, that pleases the devil just fine.

Just as I sat down to ponder the latest feeding frenzy on the news, I went to the Lord in prayer. I told Him about how depressed I get hearing a constant diet of doom. Precious Jesus then led me to the WORD.

It is here, on this fertile stand, the Bible, where the Lord comforts, speaks, teaches, and reaches us. Let me share with you where this journey took me;

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them.-Psa 34:7.

Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.-Psa 37:7.

He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.  You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;  Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.   A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you.   You will only look on with your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked.

-Psa 91:4-8

Lay your trust completely in Him. There is not a single incident that misses His attention. He knows fully every player in this tribulation. He knows the outcome.

"Yet not a hair of your head will perish.    "By your endurance you will gain your lives. -Luk 21:18-19.

What is happening here in the U.S. is not in isolation. Similar outbursts and violence is playing out all around the globe. The American Media has no horse in those races and thus we see no reporting of those actions.

Shane, a long time friend and a good and Godly man used to tell the story of a father who was teaching his son about the battle of good and evil. In the cool of the evening, the father explained that inside our bodies, in our souls a war is being raged between two animals. Evil being represented by the WOLF who only wants to destroy. The other animal, The Sheep Dog fights for goodness and the safety and security of his host. They battle night and day, day in and day out. It is violent, bloody, and painful to behold. Each one fighting to the death for what they each represent. When the father paused and the son pondered, the boy looked up into the great canopy of the heavens and spoke; "Father, who wins?" he asked. Placing his hand on the boy's shoulder, the father replied; " The One You FEED is the one that wins!" "The one you feed!"

Which one are you feeding?

I miss the old days when we were not bombarded by the play by play of a world that has gone nuts. I am comforted that JESUS has this! My trust is in Him and Him alone!   "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."- Joh 16:33.

FOLLOW HIS FOOTPRINTS

AS YOU JOURNEY ON THE NARROW PATH--FOLLOW HIS FOOTPRINTS

 

Our Lord Jesus left behind a remarkable set of footprints for us to follow until His return. This set of impressions, a map of sorts, will lead us to victory in remaining on that narrow pathway. It requires that we pay attention, stay alert, avoid the distractions of the world that can lead us off of the path. Follow the footprints of Christ.

Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. -Heb 12:14 How do we do this? someone asked the Lord; Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." In that Kingdom, nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life. -Rev 21:27

When you have been washed clean in the blood of our Master, through the CROSS, You are altogether beautiful, And there is no blemish in you. -Son 4:7

The Word of the Lord came, "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.-Lev 19:2

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,   but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;   because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."   If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;-1Pe 1:14-17- that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,   and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,   and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.-Eph 4:22-24

Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love  He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,  to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.-Eph 1:4-6

Wide is the highway that leads to hell. Narrow is the way to the Kingdom. Follow His footprints, Beloved.

ABIDE IN ME

Abide in Me, and I in you...

... As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. -Joh 15:4 Each morning the Lord delivers a gift to each of us. A wondrous gift of beauty, of promise, of hope, and of Love. This gift reminds us that we must be ONE with HIM.

The gift arrives on schedule as it has since the beginning of time. Always new, never repeating, ever moving, ever evolving in constant motion. It is a Heralding gift, proclaiming the start of a new day, another opportunity to share or demonstrate the majesty and beauty of our Lord.

This sunrise confirms in me that..  I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. -Gal 2:20 No human being can paint such a dynamic living scene on the canopy of heaven, nor blend such brilliant colors upon a moving Lapis Lazuli canvass. The beauty is so magnificient, so grand! Only GOD himself can create and deliver such an expression of love, eternal love for those whom He created.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?   I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. -Rom 7:18,24,25

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. -Rom 8:10 In the quiet splendor of the sunrise, I know, that I know, that I know, that Jesus has blessed and planned my day. All I am to do is follow His lead.

Our Lord is coming. I pray that He come soon. As we stay seperate ourselves as much as possible from the WORLD and its violent and repulsive evil, Jesus will grant us that which we need to overcome and remain prepared and alert to His arrival. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. -1Jn 2:28 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. -1Jn 2:6

Maran'athah, Come Quickly Lord!

GOD WITH US

  "THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US."

- Mat 1:23

A dear pastor and friend of mine and I were talking about daily miracles that we each witness over the course of a week. So many of them would hardly be noticed were it not for those who earnestly look for them. We were surprised how few serious minded and devoted Christians witnessed any miracles at all. Especially not daily! There was agreement amongst us that few, if any, of the daily witnessed miracles measured up to what Hollywood would have us believe. These were not in CinemaScope, nor contained lightning, or smoke. Not even a mild earthquake. Unmistakeably, what we witness frequently comes directly by divine fiat allowing us to actually see the physical effect of the very hand of God.

Through our faith and belief in God, innocent as a child, we see His presence and influence in every thing we view. We listen. We ponder. We wait. We witness.  ...and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" - 1Ki 19:9

Prayers being answered are divine confirmations that the Lord Jesus is active; interceding for His blood purchased beneficiaries. The Kingdom of God is a very, very active place but you must look. You must pray. You must listen. You must wait; wait on the Lord. Those who do are rewarded through opportunity to witness the result of the movement of His hand, His will.   Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. - Rev 8:3

Often times, the noise of this world drowns out the quiet voice of our Lord. Especially now. The pestilence, protests, killings, great violence and riot on a global scale, all become Satan's distractions away from God. With reliable FOUR and FIVE "G" cellular service the devil hardly has to break a sweat to organize chaos from one continent to another.   "Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!- Mat 18:7 Don't be a player. Don't be that man!

Although very difficult in this day of instant communication, do your best to avoid the constant barrage of blather being spewed forth from millions of Twitter or Facebook postings, or, tainted and malignant media sources by the thousands. Open your Bible. Read the TRUTH. Prepare for Your eternity just as you would prepare for an approaching hurricane. The world is on the way out. JESUS is the only constant.  'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. - Rev 3:11
