PRAY FOR PATIENCE AND SPIRITUAL STRENGTH

The power of prayer is an awesome thing to behold. I know that many readers have experienced this miracle first hand and can attest to veracity of my statement. God truly listens to His own. Our Bible records this prayer power throughout it's historical writings, and even the most jaded critic must confess that there is a power so awesome, so huge, so wondrous that only GOD is capable of that which is documented in Scripture.

2020 certainly has been a year of challenges. Much of which may accompany us into 2021. Have you prayed more frequently this year? Many have, others not so much. It is a difficult thing when the key to witnessing Prayer Answered is another word that begins with the letter "P". PATIENCE. Yes, Patience coupled with FAITH has a very good track record among prayer-warriors.

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,  from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,  that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,  and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.  Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,  to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. -Eph 3:14-21.

All the chaos and bitterness flowing out of this tainted election season is seen by our maker. Our Savior's middle name is RIGHTEOUSNESS, his other name is TRUTH. This prayer uttered in humble manner before the Lord produces results. Pray that the Lord's will be done. That the record be set straight and those who resort to deceit, dishonesty and false scales would be lighted brightly and brought to justice. Join me and thousands of others in praying the prayer above. Be patient and witness the power of our God, Amen and AMEN.

BEING THANKFUL

Later this week-- on Thursday-- many will gather as one to give thanks to God for the blessings over this past year and perhaps throughout our lives. Since this is the year 2020, we have a bushel basket full of distractions to contend with.

The blessings might be a bit harder to ferret out in amongst the China-Virus, the lock-downs, and the pre and post election shenanigans. We are heading toward the end of the year with a sizable number of unknowns that may need attention.

For followers of Jesus, we know that worldly machinations are in the divine sphere of our Creator. As such, there is a quiet confidence that everything is unfolding according to the will of the Lord our God. Still, we, with humble adoration offer our pleadings in prayer just in case He needs our suggestions. He loves to hear our voices! Trust and Obey----that is the way!

What are you thankful for this year? This decade? This century?

First and foremost I am thankful that I have a direct, personal, beautiful relationship with Almighty God, Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. In that same thankful declaration is the receiving of salvation and the indwelling Spirit of the Lord at the same time and in the same place with my bride of 30 years, Linda. Nothing compares to that Moment in time!

Over these past years, the realization and confirmation of His measureless power and righteousness displayed in Truth through Holy Scripture overwhelms the simple capacity of the human mind. To be sharing this awesome realization with my best friend and wife is truly a most awesome gift. Praise You Jesus!

Thanksgivings that I lift up includes being granted the holy honor to be witness to the movement of the hand of God as He answers prayers and delivers true miracles each and every day. The human condition expects God's miracles to measure up to the Hollywood's Spectacular Thunder and lightning as testimony. The reality is that He can do as your mind might conjure, but daily, His miracles are quiet, unassuming and the gentle results of His will. If we are paying attention, He freely shares these miracles with us!

Two such miracles are given us each day. Sunrise and Sunset. The artistry of the hand of God is unmatched as the sun slowly rises from it's slumber; opening the new day with a promise and glory unmatched as He paints the sky with a moving, ever changing pastel explosion of colors that no human being can duplicate. The daily event heralds a new chapter, a fresh start, another opportunity to bring glory to His majesty in awesome adoration of His creation.

At sunset, our Lord gives us the perfect back drop that begs meditation and rest as the silvers and golds blend with the ever deep blues welcoming the arrival of the star decked canopy of heaven. Both of these august events, these Godly gifts, have never been duplicated since the beginning of time. Always different, never the same, never repeated. THAT my Beloved, is an incredible miracle and a wondrous gift to His creation.

I could go on and on. In my brief 70 plus years on this third rock from the sun, the list of all that which I am thankful for could fill several volumes of bound books. Your list would be likewise volume heavy. My gaze is now on eternity. My journey on this earth is entering the winter months. My faith drives me on, one step at a time, ever moving forward to that day when I will cross the finish line and fall to my knees, trembling with Joy in the presence of He who created me!

Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Almighty God, fill our hearts with the Holy Spirit of Your divine love during this thanksgiving period. Let us cast aside the impediments and the distractions as we join our hearts worshiping You and the gifts You have given us, Amen and AMEN!

ALWAYS CHASE AFTER THAT WHICH IS GOOD

 

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.   Rejoice always;   pray without ceasing;  in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -1Th 5:15-18 This is so hard to obey when your emotions run high and you have been wounded by decisions or events and people you don't even know who seem to have a say over that which you can and cannot do in your own personal life. You feel violated, wronged. Something of value has been stolen from you. Could this something be your pride?

Pride and revenge were two of the toughest human attributes to overcome or to tame as Jesus taught His disciples and His followers and He led [by example]. Add to this an "acid tongue" and we we have the ingredients from which James, the half brother of Jesus, wrote about and Paul preached; For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,  Who Committed No Sin, Nor Was Any Deceit Found In His Mouth;  and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.  

You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;  and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, "My Son, Do Not Regard Lightly The Discipline Of The Lord, Nor Faint When You Are Reproved By Him;  For Those Whom The Lord Loves He Disciplines, And He Scourges Every Son Whom He Receives."-1Pe 2:21-23, Heb 12:3-6

Have you considered that the Lord Himself may be trying to get your attention, as a good Father might? That His Holy discipline is often unpleasant, sometimes painful, and certainly is well out of your control to overcome on your own. His exercise of YOUR spiritual muscles will be good for you, but you will be very sore for a while afterward.

Go to prayer. Ask your Father in heaven to show you any error or sin that may be the cause of this affliction. He knows you better than you know yourself. There is no hiding place in you out of His view. Plead with Him to reveal to you a door in scripture where you may see clearly a pathway to repent and turn away from that which is sinful in His eyes. Be persistent. Pray without ceasing. Keep on praying with your whole soul and watch Him answer you in a manner where there will be no doubt that it is the Lord Himself responding. Turn away and repent of that which He will show you. Watch how quickly Almighty God will forgive you and welcome you back into the sheep-fold. What a Great Shepherd He is, Beloved! Always Chase After That Which Is Good! Know that God will always chastise those whom He loves. He is a good Father!

SEVEN GREAT TRUTHS FOR THE BELIEVER

CALL TO WORSHIP 1Pe 1:3-4  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  (4)  to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.

It seems that only when we contemplate our true place on the celestial plain do we appreciate what our God has provided us. We all were hand-crafted and wonderfully assembled in the most secret of places. Then endowed with such unique components that there is and was only one made just like us! Just one! Even our very existence shouts aloud the testimony and Majesty of He who shaped us on the Potter's wheel!!

OPENING PRAYER You, O' Father spoke and by Your Word we and everything in the universe was created. Created out of nothing. You are God, we are Your people. You are ABBA, our Father, we are your children. On this Lord's day, may our King and Savior Jesus reveal to us through the Holy Spirit and Holy Scripture confirmation of Your precious Love for us in Seven Truths that all believers should carry in their hearts, Amen.

MESSAGE

Although the Bible is FULL of great Truths and the awesome Essence of our God, today we share with you SEVEN GREAT TRUTHS that every believer should cherish and hold dear:

1. COMFORT OF GOD'S PRESENCE Isa 43:2  "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. // Isa 51:22  ...The chalice of My anger; You will never drink it again. Even when The LORD chastises us for our sinful stumbles, HE never once promised that we would live a life without tribulation or suffering through correction. The LORD DIDpromise that He would be with us through any such journey, walking with us--every step of the way!

2. AN ETERNAL HOME IN THE KINGDOM Joh 14:1-4  "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.  (2)  "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.  (3)  "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.  (4)  "And you know the way where I am going." The path that leads to Kingdom is accessed ONLY through Jesus. Take His hand, let Him show you the way!

3. ALL THINGS WORK FOR THE BELIEVER'S GOOD Rom 8:28  And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. As a wise FATHER, God provides us with that which is GOOD FOR US. We often have difficulty in determining that which is GOOD for us and that which WE WANT. AS a Good Father, HE knows and selects the Good and allow us to be uncomfortable for a while. 2Co 4:17-18  For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,  (18)  while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. It is the eternal where our gaze must be fixed.

4. SUFFICIENCY OF DIVINE GRACE That unwarranted Gift to us from our Creator. This Grace cannot be bought, or bartered, or won, for it has no requirement for us at all except to receive it. 2Co 12:9  And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." [The Apostle Paul said]"Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me".

5. FELLOWSHIP IN CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS 1 Pet 4:12-13 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;  (13)  but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. These ordeals are not unlike performance tests, or exercises that strengthen our spiritual muscles and demonstrates to Jesus our willing commitment to suffer the Long Haul in following Him. Sometimes those muscles hurt for a while after the test. 

6. MEMBERSHIP IN THE COMPANY OF THE REDEEMED Rev 7:13-14 Then one of the elders answered, saying to [John], "These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?"  (14)  [John] said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Those who have died IN CHRIST are associates to this exclusive Celestial club of Martyrs for JESUS. I say exclusive because I believethat over two-thirdsof all mankind will crowd into the confines of HELL because of their earthly unrepentance. The REMNENT of a THIRD of humanity will have chosen wisely to invest in Name of Jesus the Christ.

7. FINAL ETERNAL DELIVERANCE FROM SORROW AND PAIN Rev 21:4   and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Perhaps this deliverance might also remove all recollection of past-pain and suffering thus preventing a somber pining of the old days. No more aches, or pains, or sorrows. I think I will enjoy this very much!

SUMMARY Rev 21:5-8  And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He [Jesus] *said,[to the Apostle John] "Write, for these words are faithful and true."  (6)  Then He said to [John], "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.  (7)  "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.  (8)  "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." THIS IS HELL! Aren't you glad you have SALVATION in CHRIST?

CLOSING PRAYER Father, the precious jewels that we have received today gives us tremendous wealth. Though unseen by the naked eye, the simple possession of these TRUTHS represents God's unwavering Grace to His creatures, His called, His own. We pray for Your mighty empowerment as we Guard them well. Keep them safe. Refer to them often. All In the name of Jesus, we pray, AMEN.

WHERE IS TRUTH?

 

Earlier this week I opened my mouth and fleshly frustration oozed out. Not a proud moment. The very minute that I clicked and announced that I was done, that this platform has no room for the truth, the alarm bells of the indwelling Holy Spirit began to ring. "What are you doing Gary?"

I was so disappointed and saddened over all the hate, the vulgarity, the division, the noise that I allowed the door to open for just a moment and guess who was waiting? The Lord. As I prayed and repented of my error He comforted me through scripture.

While searching for TRUTH, I found it right where it had always been. Discoverable in prayer throughout the Bible.

When Moses, out of frustration, nearly threw in the towel as he led the Israelites through the wilderness, his father-in-law Jethro recommended what we now find in 1Sa 12:24 "...fear the LORD and serve Him in TRUTH with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. And this: Exo 18:21  .." you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of TRUTH, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens". Moses learned to share the load of the TRUTH!

All of God's redeemed have the responsibility to share the TRUTH of our maker with others. TRUTH is right in front of us all the time. PRAYER and Holy Scripture! Where is the TRUTH? Its right here!

Psa 25:5  Lead me in Your TRUTH and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day.

Psa 25:10  All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and TRUTH to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

Psa 51:6  Behold, You desire TRUTH in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.

Psa 115:1  Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your loving kindness, because of Your TRUTH.

Joh 1:14  And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and TRUTH.

All of the noise, we experience--that we allow to eat away at our peace is just noise. God sees all of it. Trust in Him, know that events are unfolding according to His plan. Be patient, wait on the Lord. This missive is in itself evidence that there is indeed TRUTH on this platform. The TRUTH is HIS!

2Pe 1:12  Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the TRUTH which is present with you.

RUIN SATAN'S DAY--EVERY DAY!

 

On this LORD's Day November 8th, 2020, Beloved, I Bid you WELCOME with a heart full of LOVE and FAITH so strong in the FATHER, The SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT, Amen. Coming together to Worship is the very essence of our being and the reason that God created us in the beginning. Praise you Mighty Lord as the CALL TO WORSHIPis answered! 

 

Luk 10:18  And He [Jesus] said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. --We pray LORD to not only open our eyes, but our ears and our very souls as we Worship You on this LORD'S DAY, Amen

Satan in all his dark glory IS so present in 2020. What a year this has been. Its not over yet!  He had his bony fingers in lots of pies, and has been quite successful in bringing chaos and violence around the globe. 

 

If we were somehow to end up on his team, or found submitting to his temptations, believing his lying words; if we were to open up a tiny door for him to enter our thoughts; or thought that we were strong enough to go TOE-to-TOE by our selves with the Prince of darkness,-- we would be overwhelmed in an instant! Satan has had thousands of years of practice. He is very good at what he does; DECEPTION.   2020 has handed us a basket full of deception, lies and temptations galore. Jesus does not change. Fear not, His will is unfolding. Trust and Obey.

OPENING PRAYER Almighty Creator we gather here on this Lord's day to worship and to grow in the WORD. To strengthen our FAITH and have confidence that it is You --O God-- who is LIGHT. Open our eyes to the TRUTH about Satan's ways, and grant us the stamina to overcome his attacks and keep him at bay through Your promise and might through Jesus our Savior, Amen

So, who is Satan? For the answer let me direct your attention to the Bible and Satan's story through the words of ELSIE MAY THOMPSON, my grandmother. She was a widow--my Grand Dad EARL had died in the early fifties. The Homestead house [with three small rooms] sat on 24 acres East of Greeley Colorado in a place called MASTERS. ELSIE knew her Bible well and she intended to make sure that her 9 children and many Grandchildren were acquainted with Holy Scripture---especially PROVERBS! [several were written expressly for me she would often say]  I was a handfull.

 

AS a kid I would stay with Grandma ELSIE during the hot summers. Following supper and cleanup, she and I would play a few rounds of Checkers or Rummy, and then get ready for bed. ELSIE MAY would bring out the Good Book and from her rocking chair she would deliver a Bible story rendered in her own colorful way.

As she opened the Bible, Grandma Elsie asked, Who is Satan? "THE DEVIL"- I REPLIED!" Yes he is, she said. "The Devil has many names or titles, THE ENEMY, THE ACCUSER, THE SERPENT, THE DRAGON, THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD or THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR. Some say he was also called BEELZEBUB." I laughed out loud!

The Book of Genesis is where we first read about Satan; He makes his first appearance as a Serpent in Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. The Serpent fooled both Adam and Eve and they opened the door and allowed the devil to bring death and sin into the Garden of Eden and then to the world! "He was a sneaky snake, she said".

Satan is an Angel-- A EVIL ANGEL. He and a whole bunch of his fellow angels began to wage war with God and that battle rages even today up in Heaven. He was not always EVIL. In fact he was probably the most beautiful, talented, and adored ANGEL of all time in the Heavenly Host. He was even a COVERING CHERUB, sort of a special assistant to the LORD! He may have been the lead singer in the heavenly choir, probably loved by all. "ONE DAY," said ELSIE, "Satan was listening to God as he spoke with several other angels about making a man in HIS own image, in the Image of God and that this man would be the caretaker in the Garden of Eden and be in charge of all the earth and all things on the earth. " Well, this news did not set well with Satan since he felt that being the Lord of the earth should be offered to him. He longed to be in charge. Now he learns that God is going to make a MAN and give the earth to HIM! 

 

The pages of the Bible rattled as ELSIE thumbed her way to Job 1:6-7  and began to read--Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.  (7)  The LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it." "SATAN was having a conniption-fit. Walking around, kicking rocks, muttering and sputtering to himself. God allowed Satan to mess with JOB for a while, but JOB never gave up on the Lord. Satan did not succeed in separating JOB from his God!!",- ELSIE exclaimed!

Satan is real. He exists right now. He fully knows that the end is coming soon, and that there is no possible way He will win over God. Despite this knowledge, Satan's ego, his pride, his hatred for God's creation overwhelms him to the point that he will take as many of us with him to Hell if we only give him the chance!!

Jesus never gave Satan an inch ; Mat 4:1  Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Jesus was tempted many, many times by the Devil. Jesus simply replied; Mat 4:10  "Go, Satan! For it is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

I loved my Grandma ELSIE so much. She died at 98 years. Since she was only 4 foot 9 in height, her Bible looked as though it was nearly as big as she was!! 

 

She taught us kids that Jesus is our protector. That if we call on HIM and obey His commandments--a big hedge of protection -from the Devil-will be built all around us. Jas 4:7  Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Did you hear those words? SUBMIT TO GODand HE [SATAN] WILL FLEE FROM YOU!!! It's that SUBMISSION part we often forget.

We all have the responsibility of making good decisions. The conscience-- that God installed into our gut-- plays a important role in our decision making process. In fact, this internal voice is a-kin to the Holy Spirit as he counsels and guides our way. Sometimes we hear people advise that we should follow our hearts. Nah, not a good idea. The heart is pure emotion. The emotion of the heart often confuses lust with love----as such, countless sins have been hoisted high like a garrison flag a result. Listen to your gut as it listens to the Holy Spirit. Save your precious heart for Mother's day! Don't give him a finger-hold of a chance to successfully tempt you to sin.

The Devil is a fallen Angel. A created being. He cannot read your mind. He cannot be in more than one place at a time. If you are Saved, you are protected but don't get fooled. He is very good in the TEMPTING department. He cannot harm you but he can certainly lead you into being harmed. Don't open a door and invite him in. He can tempt you every day and you can simply ignore him or say THE LORD REBUKE YOU SATAN Praise You Lord! Then turn away from Satan.

Satan has a reputation of being a little bit lazy. This because he can only be in one place at a time. He LOVES the internet. From the comfort of his Lazy Boy Recliner Satan can relax in front of his 42 inch 4k Screen and simply point and click on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, SNAP-CHAT, and without breaking a sweat, The Devil can rack up THOUSANDS of followers who are hooked on pornography, pedophilia, or simply wanting to join in the on-line suffering of countless brain dead zombies who hate and verbally attack people that they have never met. Yes, Satan loves having reliable 4G or 5G service, lots of bandwidth and a fast tablet. If he is listed on your FRIENDS LIST You might just be one-mouse-click from HELL! 

 

Here is how to rattle the devil, and ruin his day;

Every morning, before you get out of bed. Just as you are aware enough to move but before you place your feet on the floor, GET A HEAD START REBUKING THE DEVIL! Raise your hands toward the ceiling---Say "Good morning Lord, Thank-you for this breath of life today. PLEASE REBUKE SATAN this moment and keep him at a distance. Thank You and Praise you Lord Jesus, Amen" As you go about your normal business of the day, just as an unclean thought begins to form in your mind, just Exclaim "The LORD REBUKE YOU SATAN, Thank You and praise You Jesus, Amen. This will RUIN Satan's day, every day, all day!!! Don't forget to work on keeping evil well away from you. In this world denying the Devil his prize is a full time job!! We need to take it very seriously.

CLOSING PRAYER Father, we realize that we are powerless on our own. It is in and through YOU, O' Lord, that all attempts and temptations issued by the Devil will fail and fail immediately when we call upon Your Holy Name. Grant us the sublime knowledge that as Our Father, Our God, You are very protective of Your children. Trust and Obey, THAT is the way O' Lord! We are so very thankful for Your divine grace and safe embrace in Jesus, Amen and AMEN

DOXOLOGY

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, Ye heav'n-ly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Amen

BENEDICTION Num 6:24-26  The LORD bless you, and keep you;  (25)  The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;  (26)  The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.'

SUPPORTING SCRIPTURE Luk 10:18, Gen 3:1, Job 1: 6-7, Mat 4:1, 4:10,

Jas 4:7, Num 6:24-26

Wednesday, November 11th is VETRAN's DAY. Open and close that day with prayers for those who never came home. Those brave warrioir who rest in the very presence of HE who created them. [S A L U T E]

Next week Beloved, if the Lord so wills, lets join together and learn about SEVEN GREAT TRUTHS of the GOSPEL of JESUS Christ. We pray that we will all be gathered SAME TIME, SAME PLACE, Until then---Christ go with you, Amen
