RISE UP!

    One nation under God with liberty and justice for all.    Rise up men and women of God!  The lawless one is destroying families and children.  I give you Ephesians 6 and 2 Thessalonians .  I pray that we may stand strong in the Lord of one mind and heart.
    Look around the world.  There is an attack against our black brothers and sisters, children.  The lawless one has, through the media and electronics, filled our children's mind with his hate.  He is ultimately out to exalt himself over everything that is called God or worship.  God has warned us and told us what to do to come against this evil man.  There is an evil, lawless man who satan is using to bring about destruction.  He will no succeed!
    We do not fight against flesh and blood.  The Lord, Jesus will overthrow him.  We have this knowledge.  Work with the Lord to overthrow this evil.  Pray! Protect your children.  Put on the whole armor of God.  Stand strong in the Lord and His mighty power.  We are out to win it!  The victory is ours!
    Our children are not the problem.  Get to the root!  Not by our power and strength, but by the Lord and His grace.  Deut. 31:8.
    Believe you have what you pray for.  Walk in faith.  Faith in God is our shield!
    Please pass this on to those who don't read the blog.    He is well organized!

KAYLA MUELLER

     They say Kayla is dead.  Jesus lives on!  The word says we do not fight flesh and blood, but spiritual forces of darkness.  Her body was a temple of God.  Christ lived in her.  She knew it and put up no struggle against Him.  She surrendered all so He could live.  She lived on the words her mother had spoken to her.
     A message to the world:  She was not afraid.  She is with the martyrs praising the Lord that she could serve the Lord in this amazing way.  Her spirit was His spirit.  He lives in us who know and love Him.  Ephesians 1:3, Psalm 16:11.
     Her life will move the world as Jesus still does.  You cannot kill the goodness and love of God.  Something that Islamist terrorists cannot know.
     No, it's not senseless.  God, through Kayla, is reaching out to a sick and dying world.  A world that would like to push God to the back burner.  She brought Him center stage.  It's what her life was all about.  Thank God for those who give their lives for goodness and love.  We will be together again.  Hope is strong and full of confidence.
     One nation under God with liberty and justice for all.

PRAISE GOD

     It is short and sweet this morning, but more strength and comfort and encouragement you will never receive!  Isaiah 49-53.  Gain strength from God's past works.  If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, our Savior, you are the promise living and the good fruit born out of God's past and present work.
     Israel is fruit born out .  Touch yourself, look in the mirror.  We are the living fruit, the proof of what we hope for.  God bless us everyone.  Praise God.  So good!  Philippians 1:6.
     Nothing that comes against us can prosper.  How many people really know what Grace is.  If Mohammed is gracious, then what is all this killing and fighting about?
     We are in the midst of something amazing.
Fulfillment .  Amazing Grace!  Isaiah 51   1 Corinthians 2:9-16

PRAISE HIM FOR HIS PATIENCE

     Without patience none of us would make it.  We look around at all the lawlessness and I know more than one says "Where is your God?"
     Dear ones, here is the heart of a loving God that we can't even fathom.  How high is the sky?  How deep is the ocean?  He is so patient in judgement, not wanting anyone to perish.  His precious heart.  He knows what hell is like.  He went there so we wouldn't have to.  The Father created a body for Himself and lived with us, ate with us, died with us, suffered with us.  Jesus said "I Am."  That's enough to tell us what a petient God we serve.
     We call Him ABBA FATHER!

PRAISE HIM FOR A NEW DAY

    Psalm 92:  O Joy!
     Those who are devoted to God's will flourish like budding date palm trees.  They will grow strong and tall like the cedars of Lebanon.  Those planted in the house of the Eternal will thrive in the courts (presence) of our God.  They will bear fruit into old age, even in winter they will be green and full of sap.  This is to display the Eternal is righteous.
     He is my rock, and there is no shadow of evil in Him.  Rejoice in Him evermore.  Lord, remind me to give thanks and to stay close to you without ceasing.  This is Your will for me in Christ Jesus.
      1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

THE MIRACLE WORKER

     Psalm 121:7-8,  John 12:48-50
     The church of Rome says you must do miracles to become a saint - cannonized.  Who does miracles?  Is it man or God?  Jesus said, "I can do nothing on my own, but only what the Father tells me."
     Who has God made a saint?  Those who are poor in heart.  Those who have seen their need and simply believed in the One the Father has sent.  Are we who have received new life living miracles?  WE died with Him and risen to new life.  Did we do it on our own?  The Father is still in the miracle business!  The business of Grace!  John 14:6.

SPIRIT RECOGNITION

Ephesians 1:2.  God is Spirit.  We are His children, created in His image.  What if we recognize each other more by our spirit, our presence, than by what we look like?  Does someone who is blind or deaf or both learn to recognize people through their presence, or the spirit?
     I recognize my heavenly Father through Spirit, not by the spoken word.  I hear His voice without a word spoken.  I have ears to hear in my spirit.  I have a heart to love in my spirit.  Release me, Lord, to live from the spirit, and put no confidence in the flesh.
     Does grace and peace have a body or face?  It definitely has a presence or spirit.  You can know it as it is displayed by God or man.  Where does true praise come from?  He has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ:  Love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self control.  Salvation.  To know Him.  Sons - children of God in Christ Jesus.  Redemption.  Forgiveness of sins in accordance with the riches of God's Grace.  He made known to us the mystery of His will.
     Jesus said, "In this world, you will have trouble, but I have overcome the world."  Has anyone escaped trouble in this world?  Jesus never lied to us.  Even He, while assuming flesh, did not escape trouble of the worst kind.  He did not escape (although He could have!) temptation of every kind.  He took all our sickness, disease, hunger, pain, rejection from those He loved.
     But He overcame so we can overcome.  He made it to the finish line.  Look at all the men and women in the Bible.  They are gone, but we still receive strength from them.  Psalm 143:8.  Cause us to know and to hear Thy loving kindness in the morning, for in Thee do we trust.  Cause us to know the way wherein we should walk, for we lift up our souls to Thee!
     Grace.  Chosen.  His Will.  Father, give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so we might know you better.  Let the eyes of our hearts be enlightened in order that we may know the hope to which you've called us:  the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe.
     Jesus is Lord!  Faith is believing in the unseen.  It is knowing, deep in our hearts, that Jesus is Lord.  We live my the Spirit.  There, we are one.  There, we recognize Him.  When I first met Him, I recogn ized Him through spirit!  Praise God!
