The Miracle Of Loving God As God Would Have Us.

Okay.  


Back in the day when I was coming up and learning how to be a Christian, rather than just legalistically do Christian stuff, I had a worry: I worried that when God says "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength,"  I had an inner gnawing that said, "you don't do that... do you?"  Actually it got sorta disconcerting.

Then something happened: I came across a verse that I know I had to have read many times.  After all, I had read the Bible through, and so I had to have passed it along the way.  Anyway, I came across Deuteronomy 30:6, which shouted the miracle I am about to share.  It also let me know that it is not just about TLOML and me.  It is about our children, their children, and so on.

Here it is: "The LORD your God will circumcise your heart, and the hearts of your descendants, so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and so that you will live!"

Did you catch that? We are indeed commanded to Love God to the Max, as in totally, y'all.  But it is something we trust God for.  God does the " heart surgery." And while we are trusting HIM for it, we need to be careful to trust this to happen for our descendants.  

The point is we do need to set the example, but we need to turn our families and ourselves daily over to God so that HE will transform our lives to love HIM totally. Claim Deuteronomy 30:6 for your children and all your descendants.  Claim it for yourself.  God is faithful.  Trust HIM by faith, and then let your feelings just be what they are... feelings.

I have seen this happen in our own children.  They are moving toward God everyday of their lives. (Includes spouses in this children thing.) 


Look at Colossians 2:10-11 (KJV). Loosely written it says  You are complete in HIM who is the head of all authority and power, by whom you have been circumcised with a circumcision made with out human hands. This gives you the power to put off the sins of the flesh. It is the circumcision of Christ.  


Yes... this is a God thing today.  Deuternonomy looks forward to what Jesus accomplished, and Colossians speaks of how Jesus fulfilled the Deuteronomy event  by HIS Cross work   :o)

Surrender to these promises today.  Claim them for your "babies" today. Claim them for yourself today,  and then .... 

BE BLESSED 2DAY ... ESPECIALLY 2DAY

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
