Life's Journey

Father let me see and help me pay attention and hear and listen to what you are doing and saying! Open our blind eyes to see and to be attentive! Open our ears as to what your saying and teach us to listen! I know you are moving and I know you are speaking! Help us to see and to hear you Lord God maker of heaven and earth! In the precious mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ my Lord!

Redemption is drawing near! So, for those of you who have not yet; “Stand Up and Look Up” and those who are “critical” of the signs of the times.. well you know what you need to do! I will pray for everyone regardless because Judgment is coming and we all are waiting for it! I am looking forward to both Redemption and Judgement!

My personal prayer is that God will search my heart and see if there is any wicked way in me!

Judgement defined in Webster m:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/judgment

I would also recommend Luke 21:34-36 here is just one of those verses:

”Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭21‬:‭36‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Redemption defined in the dictionary:

as in forgiveness
freedom from guilt or blame for having done something wrong

as in salvation
the act of releasing (someone) from servitude to another

My Reedemer Lives! His name is Jesus and he will Judge rightly and He is redeeming those who are willing! I’m praying that no one is left out of His Redemptive plan!

”I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭44‬:‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Thank you Father for your “Word” and the light it gives and the way it makes!

Right when you are hearing all about the Eclipse on Monday you read this!

”Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I’m waiting at the gate standing next to the door ready Lord! Please purify me as I wait for you and help me to take as many as possible with me when the door opens!

Prayer today!
Father turn the hearts of this nations to you, open their eyes to see all of your wonderful works for us your children. Let the orphans return to you and the obstinate hearted bend their knee toward their creator! I ask you to take back the cities and the towns that have wondered far from you! Open the books of your coming so that ears will hear and hearts will be made sober! As Moses told the children of Isreal ”In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.“
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭12‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
Speak to us as well to get ready for you!

Father, I ask you to help us get ready as we prepare for your next Passover even those who are of “no understanding” and those who “have no lamb!” May their eyes be open to the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. May your “Grace” rather than “Judgment” pass over us and your “Mercy” deliver us! Give us eyes to see the coming of the King!
Exodus 12, John 1:29
Amen!

”The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.

At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. It was a night of watching by the Lord, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the Lord by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.“
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬, ‭15‬, ‭41‬-‭42‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Thank you Lord for the blood and for the sacrifice on the cross for me!

”Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It’s an amazing thing that has happened do you see it? Is it hidden in plain sight and a hard thing to grasp?

”So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized;“
‭‭Acts‬ ‭9‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Father I pray for eyes to see and ears to hear what you have done and are about to do!

Amen!

So happy to be on the back porch just in time for Holy Week! When I sit in the sun it reminds me of the Light that shines in my heart from the Son! Jesus Christ my Lord!

”But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.“
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

God is the one who commends us and our responsibility is to boast in the Lord. He said,
”And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭32‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This week we remember what our Father did for us in sending His son (the Word) and not only to us but for us. For he was lifted up on the cross!

Yet’ like some have said this year, if He is not understood as the lamb, as the Son of God, Risen and Seated at the right hand of the Father then the work He completed is not finished in us. For we not only need forgiveness for our trespassing (sin) we need redeeming as well. It’s through Jesus Christ that I gather strength to accomplish the task of lifting him up by standing up for Him daily. He is the one I place my hope in and not in myself. For He is at the right hand of the Father and we who know Him a savior are His ambassadors! By the present work of the Holy Spirit we are witnesses of His amazing grace and a light for Him in this present journey. If my lamp goes out why I wait for him how will others find their way. If I am spiritually asleep as I wait for His return how does that benefit Him? If we all burn brightly boasting only in Him and not in ourselves then many many more will come to him as they see our faith burning brightly! His light in us shines out of us!

My prayer today: “Father help me to boast only in you and your Son and not in myself! May your Spirit shine through me revealing Christ Jesus my Lord! Also Lord for those who agree with me that it’s you we boast in and not of ourselves. I am your bond servant Jesus Christ use me as you will and cause your light to shine into me and from me that You and only You are given glory. Amen!”

The work that Jesus did for us tore down the “dividing wall” as it did the curtain between us and God. It’s the amazing work of Jesus Christ. Yes, for those who have received His Grace “it’s finished” as he said on the cross.. so today many understand why we cry “Hosanna!” Many, Many, Many and more will soon cry it to!

”He did this so that he might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross by which he put the hostility to death. He came and proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭16‬-‭22‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Another great selection:

”I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭19‬ ‭CSB‬‬

God by your Grace send forth your Spirit we need the fruit in our world!

If the altar spoke what would it say?

It’s time to read Revelation over and over again then back into John’s Gospel.. pray/repent/repeat! WOW!

Lord give us eyes to see and ears to hear!

In the matchless priceless name of Jesus Christ our Lord!

Caught you now I can see even in the darkest nights!

In reading 2 Corinthians 5:2-6:2 we find the Apostle Paul talking about our future once this body is done. We have a new place and new body that awaits. In fact he Paul calls this current one a tent (vs 4) with a greater heavenly dwelling waiting (vs 2).
Paul is helping us understand that this life in this body is temporary. Paul goes on to say how urgent this matter is. We will all appear before Christ at the judgment seat and be repaid for what we have done in this body either good works or evil.. (vs 10) Paul also talks about how we now live by faith and not sight and how God gave us the Spirit as a down payment (vs 5) Yet for those who do not know Christ they are on there own in their tent waisting away over time but the Good News is there is still time!
Paul called as an Ambassador as I’m am as well to assist others why we are still in our earthly tents. Why? For those who are still undecided to make His (Jesus) appeal with fervor because those who don’t know Christ still have time. (vs 20)
If you have not been reconciled to Christ it’s simple! It’s time to put all your faith in Him why there is still time! Something out of this world happens once you decide to follow Jesus Christ! He has the power as God’s one and only son who died for you in the cross to forgive you and wash away the shame.

”Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!“
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:3

”Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Nicodemus was actually a very well established and accomplished religious leader. He was also well respected in his day he decided he must meet privately with Jesus. So he did and In the private meeting Jesus told him that his religious service was still not the door to New Life and that unless he had a spiritual birth he could not even see into what Jesus had to offer him. He goes on to say much to Nicodemus that night. Like you perhaps he was curious what Jesus would say if they met. Here is more of what Jesus said to him:

”For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.“
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Religion as well as Religious practice can keep you separated from much of the corruption that could end your life sooner but it does not give you new life. Faith is Jesus and a New birth in Him does! Following Jesus and receiving the deposit of the Holy Spirit filling your earthly tent with Hope will. Because the Spirit of God has come to dwell with you and in you! Jesus said before He rose to the right hand of His Father (God) I will not leave you as orphans.

”“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Does this sound like something that you want? The end of a life of confusion and endless empty works hoping to be forgiven and accepted by God? Alone like an orphan only hungering for acceptance by God and only tasting a shadow of this promised Hole from a distant? Filling this emptiness with everything you can think off to dull the pain!

It’s time to exchange the shame and guilt for forgiveness and new life. To allow Jesus to make things brand new. The old life without him replaced with a New Life with Him!

It’s time!
I encourage you today to read John chapter 3 and 2 Corinthians chapter 5 -6:2

If you need more read Romans Chapter 6
You don’t have to be slaves any longer to sin:

”But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were handed over, and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Pray and ask Jesus to save you from yourself! It’s a better way through Christ like the door of all your hopes as opened to you… will your walk through it?

”Jesus said again, “Truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.“
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭7‬ ‭CSB‬‬

”See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭CSB‬‬

”Working together with him, we also appeal to you, “Don’t receive the grace of God in vain.” For he says: At an acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. See, now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation!“
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭CSB‬‬

The decision is the first step the prayer is the easiest part:

Jesus I’m ready to accept you and receive you as my savior. Forgive me, make my life New again and our our your Spirit into my heart and wash away my sin and shame and make me brand new. I place my faith and hope in you Jesus.

Amen!

He is now Lord of your live, King, source of Hope and Strenth. So do your self the greatest favor yet, get a Bible today and start in Matthew and read until you begin to know him. Who He is and What He says about you. What your life is and represents to all those around you. Let’s share this hope to all we can why there is sti time! Get into a Good Churxh that preaches and lives the truth of Jesus and the Hope I juts write about.

Please let me know who in the comments if you have made a decision to follow Jesus! I’m praying for you that the Light of Jesus will “Shine Bright” in your heart and out to all you meet. If not a comment then private message me your decision. I am praying for you!

For those of you who have decided to follow Jesus this is my encouragement to you:

”No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭CSB‬‬

It’s time for us to tighten our grip on the truth that comes through the word of God. “Hold Fast!”
