Prayer and thanksgiving

I am so grateful for knowing Christ. Each day,it seems, another revelation from His word hits me. Everything I owe to Him. I surrender to Him.
Why do I tell you? - because He will also touch YOU.
He is our creator God; His word is true.
If you believe in Him you can delight in Him, in His will - everything in His will, not 'mine'.. even though we go through challenging times. He is the comforter and Lord of all. A few years ago, I could not have believed I would be writing these words! What a load of rubbish I would have thought.
What was it that transformed me? It was a willingness to let go into Him, surrender, and be prepared to give everything of myself up and allow a death in me. It brought me new life and an incredible growing desire to be close to Him, read his word, pray by myself, fellowship with other believers and simply be open to Jesus, each moment. If I stumble, I search for Him to pick me up. If I go off to a siding, He brings me back so He can be 'in the midst'. It JUST WORKS. He made me. I'm so humbled, calmed, and thrilled to know Him.
Discovering Genesis to be true - that He made the Earth in Six days and rested on the seventh, has been illuminating. The flood has been explained to me by His word, and people like Kent Hovind and Ken Ham. (Listen, no human is perfect, nor was any prophet in the bible - but we can gain truth from them!)
This morning I listened to the above link - a sermon from the pastor at Willow park church in Canada and I learned about 666. Now, it makes perfect sense. SEVEN is a divine number. SIX is a number that just misses the grade. So to have a 'trinity' of the numbers 666 to describe Satan seems true. (will explain in antoher blog) That the Earth was made in 6 days - it's the EARTH - that us Christians are in this world but not of it.
God Bless.
