Perfect Peace

The Lord will keep in perfect peace the mind of the person who is consistently focused on HIM.
  Isaiah 26:3
 
What are you thinking about?  Problems? Liabilities? weaknesses? struggles, etc.?  If you are, there is a good chance that such a focus will result in anxiety, doubt and even fear.
 
Ever so often I have a bout with "stinking thinking" like this, but I have learned to daily get dressed and put on the Lord Jesus first thing in the morning... I mean right about the time my eyes open.  How do you do this "putting on the Lord."  Paul says in Romans 13:14 that we do this by putting on God's armor.  This is described in Ephesians 6:10-20. And in this passage, it is promised that you become "Strong in the Lord and His almighty power" when you armor up.  It is also promised that you are able to stand against the Devils schemes.
 
So, I throw off the stuff that tells me not to do this, and I have made it my ritual to simply "get dressed" and get strong.  Then I focus my thinking in my time alone with the Lord.  As did Jesus, I do so a "great while before morning." And I find myself communicating with my LORD throughout the day.
 
 
Why?  I do this, not because I am so great and wonderful, but for the opposite reasons: I am utterly unable to truly live without continually making Him a part of my journey... one day at a time... one step at a time... sometimes one moment at a time. I do this because I like to have the strength I need to do His bidding.  I also like very much experiencing "perfect peace." Finally, there is only one way to do so... keep my mind consistently focused on the Lord.  Works for me :}
 
Why not try this "getting dressed" in the Lord in the morning?
Why not try daily "armoring up" to be made strong IN The Lord?
Why not practice His presence throughout the day?
Why not let Him keep you in "perfect peace."
 
Give "it" a try and ...
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!'
