Know nothing.... KNOW JESUS is KNOWING LIFE.

For I resolved to know nothing 
while I was with you 
except 
Jesus Christ, 
and, Him crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:2 

JESUS CHRIST
and Him Crucified.

Jesus Christ...  Crucified...  for our salvation,  for our freedom,  for the 
believers...   everlasting life.

I know nothing, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.   Thank you, Lord, for Your sacrifice.  It is good, YOU are GOOD.  Thank you.  Amen

JESUS, the reason for Christmas

As a believer, let us rejoice together

aloud:

For God

so loved the world

that He gave

His only begotten Son

that

whosoever

BELIEVES

in Him

shall not perish

but have everlasting life

And she shall bring forth a Son

and thou shalt call His name

JESUS

for He shall save His people

from their sins

In this was manifested

the LOVE of God toward us

because He sent his only begotten Son

into the world

that we might live

through Him.

He is the only wise God

through righteousness 

He brings us the gift of eternal life

Through Jesus we receive

He is our generous Savior

Deliverance comes through Jesus Christ

adoption and sonship, too

To the only God, our Savior, 

be glory

majesty

power and authority

Through Jesus Christ our Lord

before all ages

now

and

forevermore

Amen, 

(and Praise the Lord)

OUR PERFECT GIFT.... \0/

Every good gift and every perfect gift 

is from above, 

and cometh down 

from the Father of lights, 

with whom is no variableness, 

neither shadow of turning. 

James 1:17 KJV

Thank you, Father of Lights, for EVERY good and EVERY perfect gift you have given to us, beginning with Jesus Christ,

our Lord and Savior!

Thank you, Father of heavenly lights, that EVERY blessing is a butterfly kiss!  EVERY Word that comes from You is the quiet laughter and booming roar of Your essence.

Thank you, Father, that You have never changed Your mind on how much You LOVE us and care for us, and prosper us

with Your abundance, and your generosity.   

You will never change your mind,  My heart thanks you for Your perfect gift, my comfort, and relief that is in You, Our God, are the Perfect One, the Only One, the True One, the Invisible One who loves loves loves to bless bless bless, not only myself, but the ones who love and honor and Trust you, and rely solely upon you.  

The one who LOOKS for the Father of heavenly lights to come, to bless, to smile upon us!  I look forward to Your presence, daily, Abba.  I look forward to Your company.  I look forward to Your new mercies every morning, as I look to You, my Author and Finisher of my faith, just to breathe in Your essence, and Your fragrance, and have You pleased with whom You created.  Fearfully and wonderfully made.  Yes, and thank you!

Jesus, thank you for Your part, for without it, we would never see the Father.  Thank you for coming to earth, leaving Heaven and the Father to come to polluted sinful earth, seeing our future, and the Father’s heart ache-heart break, to come and make things right for us. (and God).  

You came, was born of a virgin.  You were honorable, and perfect ((God’s good and perfect gift)) and were “shared” with u so we could be “shared” with God, bringing us once again to the Father’s blossom.  In YOU Lord, we live move and have our being.  \o/

How was this done?  You were born, you grew up, you ministered who the Father is.  You taught us how to behave showing us how to love and respect the Father (Hallowed be His holy name) and showing us the Way…Truth…Life… 

The Only way to Get (back) to our Father is through YOU, Jesus, thank you. Oh, thank you!

You died a cruel death- yet every bruise and every wound was for our transgressions.  Your stripes were for our healings.  Your blood shed was to cleanse and purge our every dead work- as the enemy loves to remind us of them every chance he gets.  But You healed us and cleansed us.  YOU SAVED us, and You REEMED us.  You FREED us from the hold of the enemy- no more sin and death; thanks to You, Precious Lord.

Yes, Lord, YOU ARE OUR PERFECT GIFT- God’s yes, but ours too!

THANK YOU! Thank you, both!  For without this good and perfect gift, we would be totally lost without You.  And, before I end this prayer, thank you for the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth, INto You.

This prayer I pray with thanksgiving of my heart, and as the others agree, we say: AMEN, AND PRAISE THE LORD!

Amen Jesus!!! Amen

SLAVE OR FREE???

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children  and live a life of love,  just as Christ loved us  and gave himself up for us  as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Ephesians 5:1-2  HELLO Friends!  May the Lord richly bless you! Anyone who knows me knows one thing about me, I LOVE GOD!  My “passion” is to  please Him, and to honor Him.   This morning I read from Romans 6 to my youngest daughter.   What spoke to me of the chapter I read and this scripture is this:   BE FREE IN CHRIST JESUS! Having a heart of obedience…. be imitators of God…. LIVING A LIFE of LOVE!!!  As we purpose to be FREE IN Christ Jesus,  and a slave to righteousness, we will not be of unrighteousness (and death). What does God expect from us???  To do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly  with our God!   (Mic 6:8) God wants us to IMITATE HIM! To BE an offering, a fragrant offering, to make  God smile!  To make God proud and happy ((with Him thinking)) that  this one belongs to Me!  This one is just like Me!   Not only in looks but heart also; imitating who I am! My life goal and I pray it is yours too is to please the Father,  and when I mess up, I ask God to forgive me. Simple!  A good life with Christ! Blessings to you as you meditate on this easy message. Jesus loves you with a LOVE that is incomparable. All my JESUS LOVE, Lorraine

PASS ON THIS MESSAGE.... JESUS IS LORD!

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion -- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
Isaiah 61:1-3

**********

This scripture is prophesying about Jesus. However, it is also prophesying to us also.

Have we not been set free because we BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God??? Have we not experienced beauty for ashes???

Oh, what about receiving and experiencing the OIL OF JOY??? Hallelujah!

Who had a broken heart that was comforted?? Who was a prisoner of sin??

Who has the Lord bestowed His favor upon???

We (believers) have all been comforted by the Lord in one form or another!

This scripture belongs and speaks not only about God's Son, but to the "imitators" of God too!

Today, purpose in your heart to bring comfort to someone. Show them the LOVE of the Father! Show them that they too can have the Same Jesus who lives in your heart living in theirs also! Show them the beauty of the Lord, and that their life doesn't have to be a life of ashes, but of BEAUTY, the beauty of the Father who loves them!

We (believers) are anointed by the Father. Do you believe this? I do!!!! I believe that the Lord not only saved me, but anointed and called me to share this good news with others.

If you believe this too, please pass on this message.

Jesus IS the reason for the season!!! HE LOVES YOU!!!

Bless the reader my Lord, I ask of you, in Jesus name, I pray. Amen Jesus!!

...The beauty of holding your tongue...

When words are many,  sin is not absent. But he who holds his tongue is wise.

Proverbs 10:19 Don't let your tongue trip you up! Be silent! Don't let your "many words"  make you stumble! Don't let your "many words" make you wish you regret that you said them. Be PRUDENT, hold your tongue! Be SENSIBLE, and shut your mouth! Do not let these words "multiply" but be one of few words,  and be wise. **** Ever witness a person caught in a lie that grows wordy? The truth should have sufficed! But at the moment, the LIE seemed "easier" yet, it failed! Lies always do! Too many words have TRAPPED the liar. His SIN trapped him! It is wiser to hold your tongue and not lie. Shut your mouth and do not sin. Ask God to direct your mouth your mind and heart and be FREE IN HIM; without the trap  of the lie. The TRUTH will always  set you FREE! JESUS, I pray for the one who needs this message.  The one who has trouble biting their tongue.  Lord, I ask your Holy Spirit to minister to their spirit. Please show them Abba, that they need to repent of their sin.  The sin of a liar, the sin of being a big mouth, the sin of breaking the barrier of peace, Lord displeases You.  Allow Your PEACE to resonate in our hearts, Lord, and we ask you to forgive us now of our sin. This we ask together, in Jesus name. Amen Jesus!   Thank you that YOU are with us, in scripture, in the lesson of Wisdom, and in forgiveness as we learn to be WISE and bite our tongue; instead of sinning.   This scripture is because YOU love us, Lord.  Thank you! Amen

Daniel prayed: 

"Praise be 

to the name of God 

forever and ever; 

wisdom and power are His. 

He changes times and seasons; 

He sets up kings and deposes them. 

He gives wisdom to the wise 

and knowledge to the discerning. 

He reveals deep and hidden things; 

He knows what lies in darkness, 

and light dwells with him. 

I thank and praise you, 

O God of my fathers: 

You have given me 

wisdom and power, 

You have made known to me 

what we asked of you, 

You have made known to us 

the dream of the king."

Daniel 2:20-23

Glory, glory, glory to the King!  Our Heavenly Father, His wonderful Son.  Glory!

ALL wisdom and power belong to HIM!

Forever and ever are His, and now He gives FOREVER to us!

He is the MASTER in control of the believer's life!  He created the seasons, He knows all!  He knows even the secret things, nothing can hide from the Master.  He lights up the darkness and exposes it.  Sin can not hide from the Lord.

It is Wisdom of the Lord poured out to the believer who also receives this Wisdom.  God gives us His Power and wisdom.  He opens His mysteries to those who love Him.

Just like with Daniel, God is no respecter of persons.  He will bless us in the same way, even more, if we believe in Him!

Glory, Glory, Glory to the King.  Thank you for Wisdom and Knowledge and Understanding, Abba Father!  Thank you for discernment. Thank you for revealing the secret things to the one who trusts and adheres to You.  Lord, YOU light our darkness and make pure Your child so we can see You.  You make that way for us.  Thank YOU, Lord!

This Thanksgiving from our heart we pray, in the Precious name of Jesus.  Amen Jesus!
