When

Did You Last Ask Jesus To Pray For You?

Therefore, HE is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:25

     The Holy People of God are made so because the Savior "completely" saves us:  HE redeems us and forgives EVERY sin ... past, present and future. (Hebrews 9:12) HE sanctifies us or makes us holy.  That is HE sets us apart for HIS holy use. (Hebrews 10:10) AND HE makes us perfect in God's sight. (Hebrews 10:14 NIV.) Given all this is true, you can see why the Hebrew writer calls this being saved "completely;" yet, in this passage,  people tend to miss one highly important truth that needs to stand out for us, because an important spiritual practice is not practiced.

     What are you talking about SoJourner? I am talking about what the above passages says that Jesus "always lives to" do on our behalf.  Did you get that?  HE A-L-W-A-Y-S does something.  What is that.  HE ALWAYS lives to pray for us... Always.  So, Jesus rose from the dead to pray for us?  YUP!  That is exactly what the Bible says, and it is on target for what I am saying.  He arose from the grave, and because "He lives" we also have the power to live! BUT there is something in his mission statement that all too many are missing. HE is fulfilling HIS responsibilities as  our Great High Priest in the Heavenly dimension and one very key part of HIS mission statement is to be our own personal Prayer Warrior.

     So here is a question for you:   When was the last time you asked Jesus to specifically pray for you?  I know we ask our family and friends to pray for us. We ask our Pastors and our Counselors to pray for us.  I know we go on twitter and tweet out our hunger for prayer intervention.  And on Facebook, I receive many prayer requests for Spiritual needs, emotional needs, relational needs, financial needs and of course physical needs. But I hope you are getting this that Jesus has as a part of HIS core identity to ALWAYS be ready to pray for you.

     I know it's easy to think, will HE really do this for me?  Does Jesus actually think enough of me to offer up the most sacred and Holy prayers that can be offered on our behalf? Will HE do so on MY behalf? I am telling you that, while it is not the ONLY thing the Savior is doing, HE is definitely ready, willing and able to -- in some miraculous and mysterious way -- represent you and me, and offer us and our brokenness to the Heavenly Father (in company with The Holy Spirit.) HE IS INDEED ALWAYS ready to do so.

    So here is your challenge. I really want you to consider this carefully.  What kind of things do you want the Father and Jesus to be discussing on your behalf?  In what kind of discussion do you want the Holy Spirit to share with Jesus and the Father concerning you? The Holy Spirit also intercedes. Don't you see? (Romans 8:26-27.)  All you have to do is "groan" even when you have no words. (Romans 8:27.)And we may groan because the pain is so very real and we have no words. 

     Let me challenge you this way.  Pray this, say this or simply groan this: "Jesus pray for me!  Holy Spirit intercede for me! I need all my family, friends, associates and neighbors to pray for me LORD, but the most important ONE who can pray for me in ways they cannot pray is the one I need praying for me right now!  I cast all my cares on you, O LORD!  I believe you care for me."  Then share with the good LORD exactly what you would like HE and The Holy Spirit to talk about with The Heavenly Father, as they have the most Holy Heavenly discussions in existence today... discussions about your journey and your life.  He loves you as you may well know.

     Practice this spiritual practice as a matter of habit, and then your will be ...

Blessed 2day ... Especially Today!

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!'
