COMFORT.... WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE FIRE....

GOING THROUGH THE FIRE

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 4:4 KJV

Is 43:2 1-3a

But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! 

2"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walkthrough the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. 

3"For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior…..

Dross/unpure

Jer 23:29

My message is like a fire that purges the dross

Prov 25:4-5

Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel-

5- Take away the wicked before the king, and His throne will be established in righteousness.

Mal 3:2-3

But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. 

3"He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness. 

Father, thank you that it is You who takes very good care of Your people.  We are Your people and the sheep of Your pasture.

Help us to become humble and thankful as we “wait for, hope for, and expect” You, our Lord.

Your name is great, O Lord.  Please, Abba, protect us by Your mighty name.  

Lord, refine us in Your refiner’s fire.  Purge and clean us of all unrighteousness,

Thank you for reminding us that YOU are our GOD, and our PROTECTOR.  You are the one who melts us and molds us into all You want.  Thank you, for Your perfect will in our lives.  Help us to purposely live out our lives in righteousness.  Please Abba, purge out all wicked ways in our lives.

Thank you for Your message of Love.  Thank you that You have eyes as fire, and the enemy is frightened at what You will do.  Thank you, that I am on YOUR side, Abba!

And, thank you when this enemy tries to interrupt our lives, You come, You raise Your standard against him, and You free us from all bondage and deliver us.  You are our Redeemer, thank you!

We are Yours. You love us.  We are called by Your name.  You are always with us!

And, with this I exclaim:

Amen! and Praise the Lord!!!

THE CROSS

The Cross

Pondering upon the Cross makes me so thankful what Jesus Christ has done for us.

I thought upon the Father turning His head, because He couldn’t look upon His Son, it broke my heart.

Jesus knew what was about to happen to Him when the disciples found Him, sweating so profusely “as drops of blood,” and when He asked the Father to take the bitter cup…  Our Lord, KNEW what the bitter cup contained…bitterness of the worse kind.  So bad, that He knew His Father would turn away.  He knew the price He had to pay for mankind.  He knew that His Father had to look away.  A price He paid for us, with His life.

Innocence.  Purity.  Covered with sin.

I thought about what the Father had to turn away from.  What sin?  Murder, Pride, Adultery, Hate.  The 10 commandments unfulfilled.  The 6 sins that God hates, no 7.  Our pure Savior wore the coat of the molester, the fornicator, the murderer.  His beauty was marred with every atrocious sin possible.  He literally wore the world on His shoulders.  It was bitter, even for Him.  HE DID THIS, all because of LOVE.

Think about it, all sickness’ he took upon His body.

Every stripe His back took was for our illness’ and afflictions.  Every bruise for our iniquities.  Every wound Jesus took for our transgressions.

Yet our Lord, because of LOVE… COVERED MY SIN.  No more sin because of the Cross.  Thank you, Lord.

I am a sinner-Saved, yes, but still a sinner.  I have sinned royally.  Jesus’ love covered my sins, and He forgave me.  He made me pure in the eyes of the Father because of the Cross.

Jesus loved me that much.

Oh sweet Jesus, the world can not contain all You have done for us in it.  Thank you for the Cross, Jesus.  Thank you for every wound You took on my behalf.  Thank you for every stripe and every lash you took upon Your body.  By Your stripes, I am healed.  Thank you.  Every wound was punishment You didn’t deserve.  I deserved it because of my sin.  And YOU paid the price, for me, thank you.  I can never repay You, for all You have done.

Yet, I can be thankful, and follow and worship You, as Savior and Lord of my life.  Abba, please keep Your Holy Spirit with me as I am still in this world.  Protect me by the power of Your name, I pray in Jesus name.  Help others see how KIND and WONDERFUL You are, my Lord. My whole heart praises You.  I will NEVER FORGET Your kindnesses’ toward me.

Abba, I am so sorry You had to turn away from Your Son, because of my sin.  Thank you for forgiving this sinful soul and making me pure in Your eyes.  Thank you for making me white as snow once again (again and again).  You are a good, good, Father, Lord.

Jesus, thank you for the cross, and what You did on our behalf.  Because without You, my soul would be lost.  Without You, I could never see my Father.  Without You, Lord, my Light, I would forever be in darkness.  ((I would get what I deserved, the wages of sin; death))

But because of You, I am SAVED, and REDEEMED!!!  I am pure!!!  I am sin-free.  All I need to do is continue IN You, and imitate who my Lord is.  Continue on…  Doing Your will, which is the will of the Father.

Oh, Lord God.  I love you so.  I do.

All who are in agreement with this prayer says: Amen, and Praise the Lord!!!

We adore and delight in our God!

Amen Jesus.

SALVATION TO OUR SOULS....

Therefore, 

get rid of all moral filth and the evil 

that is so prevalent 

and humbly accept the word planted in you, 

which can save you.

James 1:21

Accept the Word PLANTED in you.

Good day, brothers and sisters in the Lord.  Happy New Year!

Remember the last Word that was sent to you? 

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God 

for the salvation of everyone who believes: 

first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Romans 1:16

This Word that was planted in you makes you “not ashamed!”  Because this Word planted in you SHINES SO BRIGHT that any sin or moral filth is ashamed to be in the body.  And, it should, because God’s spirit resides in you!  

If you are excusing sin, then you are excusing filth and evil.  God doesn’t want this for you!

God wants you to humbly accept His wonderful gift- HIMSELF- ((He is)) the Word-

He shows us His mysteries, and tells us His secrets, and His plans that are meant for us, His children.  And guaranteed, there is NO evil attached to God at all, only salvation!

Ah, Lord God, HAPPY are the people whose God is their Lord!  ((I am so happy, Lord))

You are our Savior, Jesus.  You are our salvation, and we humbly accept the Word you graciously planted in us.  Thank you, Father & thank you, Holy Spirit, for revealing to us YOUR Power, and YOUR Salvation, and now, YOUR Word planted deep inside of us.  Thank you, that YOU are the Author and Finisher of our faith, and that what You plant will grow into a mighty oak, or a fragrant flower that brings such joy to the Father of Heavenly Lights.  Thank you that Your WORD over-rules & over-powers the evil that is so common in this world.  This sin tgat is right in front of us, sin so flagrant.  No shame, Lord.  In fact, this sin is so filthy and unruly.  So unfit for a child of the King.  Open our eyes, Holy Spirit and reveal what it is YOU PLANTED IN US, for it is all good.  And, it is salvation to our souls.  Forgive us of all sin, Jesus, we repent, Lord.

Once again, I end with a THANK YOU- Hallelujah, and Amen Jesus!

HAPPY NEW YEAR; 2018

I am not ashamed of the gospel, 

because it is the power of God 

for the salvation of everyone 

who believes: 

first for the Jew, 

then for the Gentile.

Romans 1:16

THE GOSPEL- Our Good News!

THE POWERFUL GOSPEL- our HOPE

                                sharper than any two edged sword!

THE GOSPEL- GOD’S WORD- 

      is quick and powerful!  it never delays!

Do you have this Gospel in you?

Does it lead you into all truth in you?

Is Christ in you?

Will you can acknowledge and say with purity:  “I am not ashamed of the gospel!”

You can minister to one saying:  “this WORD is POWERFUL….  let me tell you why….”

As I get this Gospel/Word in me, I get the POWER OF GOD “IN” me- where I can DO all things through Christ who gives me strength!  His Power does this in and through me!

God’s WORD is literally my SALVATION!  without it, I would be in trouble.  It guides me into all truth!  It lightens my path!

It is my LIGHT- my WAY to Truth and eternal life!

Yes, I can emphatically say:  I BELIEVE!!!  I Believe in this Jesus-  I believe with my brothers and sisters the Jews and Gentiles, yes, that Jesus Christ is Lord!!!  I believe in His Good News- that it is life saving and life changing!!!

I thank you, Lord, for Your wonderful good news and your wonderful Word, the gospel.  Thank you that as I choose to allow the Holy Spirit

to give me revelation, the essence of God’s power in me grows and grows.  I become stronger and stronger in you.  I believe!  I trust and have confidence in You, Abba.  I love Your Son, and am so grateful for the Holy Spirit to leads and guides me into all truth.  

Ah Lord God, thank you!

In Jesus name I pray.  Amen

and p.s.  God, lead us into this New Year guiding us, and allowing us to be strong in You by the Power of Your Word, and protect us by the Power of Your name, O most High.  Thank you, for Your Power- outside and inside our perimeters.  Allowing us to SEE with our own eyes that YOU are LORD of all, and we shall never never be ashamed of our God.  Hallelujah.

Thank you for keeping us in 2017, and that 2018 will be greater, because GREATER is He that is in me (you) than he that is in the world.

We have a lot to look forward to this year, Abba.  New Mercies, thank you!  Your smiling face, thank you, and blessings HEAPED upon blessings, once again, thank you.   In Jesus name I pray.  

Amen Jesus!

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
