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.

Trust

Psalm 62:8 (New International Version)
8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah

All times, trust - even when we have a compelling urge not to! This is the battle in the mind that will always be there in born again Christians, we were told by our bible study teacher last night - and don't you know it!
Lord make us pure in heart and give us a renewed steadfast spirit (Psalm 51). Dear Lord, let us have confidence in you and you alone. You are my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear. (Psalm ..) Your word is the word embedded in our hearts so we act according to your will as your spirit lives in us. Thank you for falling afresh on me today. Cleansing and allowing me to trust in you.
Selah.

Willow Park has some fabulous messages for us!

The messages I heard here are:, (if you don't have time to listen)

- The love of Jesus is stronger than any sure thing this world can offer.

- Satan mimmicks God.

- the beast of the sea represents the state of the heart. We've removed God(Jesus) from the centre of our life.

- Self confidence is useless without God confidence.

- Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Satan is the joker (Batman)

- In the beginning God.

- If you associate with people as seeing God as something they can use or control, run away, quick!

-Temptation is always here, but the Lord will always give you a way out.

- Where is your heart at?

- Look out for the deadening spirit of hypocracy in this 'world'.

- We are like a child before our God.

- As water reflects the face, so a man's heart reflects the man - from Proverbs.

Prayer: Live and breath and act and love through me today Lord. Amen

Luke 21 v.36

Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. American King James Version

'Dwell in the realm of Prayer' . May you read the bible and stay in His word. To pray is to be in His fathers house. I pray you, the reader are saved. All of us, are required to actively repent and submit TOTALLY to Him daily. Our Lord Jesus. He died for you and me, so we might live. Let yourself be snatched (Jude) so you can give your ALL to Him and follow Him. This is real. He is the Living God. Live in the fruit of the spirit (Gal 23). Knock and the door will be opened. Seek and you WILL find. (Luke) So important right now. Know Him and ask Him to be with you. He WILL, not can, but WILL save you. Listen to His living Word. He created a perfect world and because of sin, our sin, from that moment Earth began to die. He will give you His light, His living spirit, He will heal because of your faith in Him. Please, ask Him and learn to know Him. Cling to Him and pray for others everywhere. NOW. Loving God, Lord Jesus, may we stand before you clothed in your righteousness when the time comes. Holiness means to be set apart. He will make you a new creation, now. This message is urgent. And yet we can remain at peace, self controlled and alert, bathed in His Love. Amen
