TRUE INTIMACY: ANOTHER THINKING ABOUT THIS, "WHERE IS GOD?"

Did you ever feel alone?  Did you ever feel like God was not anywhere around.  Did you ever feel abandoned by God, as if God does not care?  Well I know I have; yet, those are my weaker moments. Because the bigger question is this:  Did you ever think that God's presence is with you even when you don't know it?'
 
I mean, where can you go to escape the loving presence of the Holy Spirit? Try going up to the heavens... especially those heavenly spiritually emotional "high" places.  If you have any sense of spiritual sensitivity,  you will find that God is there; take a nap in the depths... God will be there watching you while you rest... even in the depths of depression.   If you were to get on the largest and fastest airliner and travel all across the pacific to wherever, you will find out that God was with you when you took off, and God will be with you during the trip... AND God will be waiting on the other side, "on the far side of the sea." As a matter of fact, His hand will even be guiding you in that far away place. 
 
I think the key to knowing this, however, is in our  willingness to perceive it and receive it.  Here is an old story I have told many times, but it will make my point.  Back when space flight was in its intimacy, the Cosmonauts were interviewed by the then atheistic Pravda, "Did you see God, when you went to space?"  They answered, "We have been ALL out into space and we did NOT see God anywhere."   Later American Astronauts, who came back from space,  were asked the same question.  They answered.  "We have been ALL out into space, and we saw God everywhere."
 
Christ follower, in Christ, we live, move, breathe and have our being.  It is so much of us that it is like our heart beat.  We may not be aware of our heart beating, but it keeps us alive.  Check your pulse and you can count your heart beats to see if the heart is beating strongly, at the right pace and in the correct rhythm.  So, not being aware of the heart does not mean it is not beating keeping us alive. But we can be aware of it by choosing to do so.
 
God is nearer than your next breath.  He breathed into our ancestors, and into us, the breath of life.  Let us practice His presence.  Practice being aware of it.  Just breathe slowly and realize, no matter where you find yourself... no matter how you feel...  well... God is with you.  Take a deep breath today and...

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!'
