And we pray…

Sing to The LORD, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.

There abideth glory in His holy name, His Throne is a throne of grace; let the hearts of those who seek The Lord rejoice. For as we search, we shall find Him, Amen. Seek diligently and continually be blessed as you do, Amen

Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

Remember the wonders He has done.

His miracles and the judgments He pronounced

are ever before us.

1 Chronicles 16:9-12

Beloved I pray with you, The Almighty God shall never disown you. He shall always be your Father because you belong to Him. And you shall in all your ways be His child.

His mercy shall never be taken from you in Jesus’ Name, Amen

Shalom!

For in each day we pray, knowing that…

The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His way.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

For Thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall He teach in the way that he shall choose. his soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the Earth.

The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will shew them His promises.

mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn Thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

LORD, look upon mine affliction and my pain for You see all and know all,
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give accoun. Hebrews 4:13

LORD, forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in Thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on Thee, Amen

Psalm 25:9-21
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Giving thanks? Why?

You woke up! You have another chance? You exist! Reason enough?

Our Story

Do you know what ‘forever’ means?
Think hard and don’t let it glide on by.
“It is this way, or has been for always!”, in each moment, each second in ALL your ways!
This is an eye-opening ‘share.’

WE are for always, we have come to be for a reason. We have already shared that you discover what your reason is. We look around the world; what gets people so ‘fired up?’ Personal beliefs, wants, needs… If we look back at The story, His-tory- when people focused on ‘why’ they were created, to serve with ALL their hearts and spirit, The Reason for their existence, ‘things’ were all right:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.desiringgod.org/messages/what-is-the-will-of-god-and-how-do-we-know-it&ved=2ahUKEwjCmrLQ98jaAhWCiOAKHbm1AoAQFjAAegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw2m8Fxl1uCCJiNc5-jYRXpr

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.biblestudytools.com/topical-verses/bible-verses-about-gods-will/&ved=2ahUKEwjCmrLQ98jaAhWCiOAKHbm1AoAQFjABegQICBAB&usg=AOvVaw02YtQfzc_Lps6uHWNeUqhH

We can see from the links above that we were created to do The Will of our Creator. As we have experienced, read about or heard about at times this is taken to extremes with individuals, groups or belief systems placing their ‘eternity’ at risk. Yes! You are, and will always be. Unfortunately, or for some fortunately- there is NO recycling. There is continuance of the decisions we made in this existence. We go on! But where?
https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/topical-studies/what-happens-to-us-when-we-die.html

https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-happens-at-death

http://www.bibleinfo.com/en/questions/what-does-bible-say-about-death

We can go on and on. There is NO ‘time’ after you pass. ‘Time’ is for this existence. When you cease this life you move into an existence based on your actions/decisions. We ALL have the power to decide which way/what we shall do or be. A decision of atheism is profound. IF you are at a place and ‘review’ your life and decisions, was there a DECISION to ‘not believe.’ The decision is yours, yes! We have shared that in this existence, we have choice. To make it scientifically, religiously and theoretically clear – we exist as we made our decision (which is solely ours to make) places us. Yes, as stated there are atheists; where did you come from? We can look at this solely scientifically; DNA, genetics, inheritance… The whole ‘nine’! Basically, you are a product of two individuals. You have traits (or none at all) of genetics passed down.
So, your parents are to account for who you are, how you are, why you are? Let us pander on the edge for a millisecond. Is all this ‘hoopla’ factual? Is it possible? Ok, so for a second let us look at evolution:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/15-answers-to-creationist/
Yes, Charles Darwin started the ‘move’ toward evolution being the ‘key’ to life. You can search the above and see the arguments.

However, the counter side:
https://answersingenesis.org/is-the-bible-true/5-scientific-accuracy/

https://www.focusonthefamily.com/faith/the-study-of-god/how-do-we-know-the-bible-is-true/how-do-we-know-bible-is-true

http://www.eternal-productions.org/101science.html

You might ask why we quote so many on this side of the ‘reasonng?’ The founder of the theorem that has been argued into fact and ‘proven’ is Charles Darwin.
A number of things come up:
1. The qualities of Man in comparison to the qualities of all other species. In the movie series “Planet of the apes.” Genetic shifts are utilized to create quite a story line.
Speech? Movement? Intelligence? We ‘supposedly’ are all made in His image. To be ‘Religiously’ correct, we as an existing species were created last. We are still (Biblically speaking in the 7th period of creation.) To understand (or try to): a ‘day’ is 24 hours, the time it takes for the Earth to revolve around the sun. ‘Scientifically’ the position of Earth from the Sun is key to explaining Man’s existence. The conditions were perfect! Distance from The Sun, growth of vegetation, OXYGEN! Why, would I ask are these conditions found anywhere else?
Two sides to that argument- ‘Chance/luck’, everything ‘being right versus It was and is the way it is and was meant to be.

In being this ‘intelligent’ species, we ‘took over’ the Earth. If there was a greater ‘force,’ would it not be primed to go? We currently are working on ‘alternate’ life forms with ‘intelligence,’ might I point out that this ‘intelligence’ is Man made/created. So, we create a ‘lesser’ us. It is all a matter of what we want/desire. A ‘lesser’ form us; with the Man created speed of creating ‘new eras.’ On this topic, I have to bend to the spiritual side of things.

In all other ‘days’ of creation (which amount to periods) if we look at The Bible in Genesis ALL came first. In the 6th period Man was created. We have come to understand that man was worked on in this ‘period.’ Yes, I can acquiesce and give some credence to ‘caveman’ all in the final day (6th day) in the creation of Man. Again, I will dally on the edge and state that speech, knowledge, feelings are all based on something. If we can ‘stretch’ our minds to hold on to the concept that as ‘Man’, we have what other species do not have.

Once again we refer to Darwinism. I have absolutely no problem with theory, we have gained and advanced on the precepts put forward.

Many creationists are familiar with the account that a “Lady Hope” gave of her visit to Darwin a few months before he died. Although it has appeared in various books, we present it below for those to whom it is new.

…………………..

It was one of those glorious autumn afternoons, that we sometimes enjoy in England, when I was asked to go in and sit with the well known professor, Charles Darwin. He was almost bedridden for some months before he died. I used to feel when I saw him that his fine presence would make a grand picture for our Royal Academy; but never did I think so more strongly than on this particular occasion.

He was sitting up in bed, wearing a soft embroidered dressing gown, of rather a rich purple shade.

Propped up by pillows, he was gazing out on a far-stretching scene of woods and cornfields, which glowed in the light of one of those marvelous sunsets which are the beauty of Kent and Surrey. His noble forehead and fine features seem to be lit up with pleasure as I entered the room.

He waved his hand toward the window as he pointed out the scene beyond, while in the other hand he held an open Bible, which he was always studying.

“What are you reading now?” I asked as I seated myself beside his bedside. “Hebrews!” he answered – “still Hebrews. ‘The Royal Book’ I call it. Isn’t it grand?”

Then, placing his finger on certain passages, he commented on them.

I made some allusions to the strong opinions expressed by many persons on the history of the Creation, its grandeur, and then their treatment of the earlier chapters of the Book of Genesis.

He seemed greatly distressed, his fingers twitched nervously, and a look of agony came over his face as he said: “I was a young man with unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything, and to my astonishment, the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of them.”

Then he paused, and after a few more sentences on “the holiness of God” and the “grandeur of this book,” looking at the Bible which he was holding tenderly all the time, he suddenly said: “I have a summer house in the garden which holds about thirty people. It is over there,” pointing through the open window. “I want you very much to speak there. I know you read the Bible in the villages. To-morrow afternoon I should like the servants on the place, some tenants and a few of the neighbours; to gather there. Will you speak to them?”

“What shall I speak about?” I asked.

“Christ Jesus!” he replied in a clear, emphatic voice, adding in a lower tone, “and his salvation. Is not that the best theme? And then I want you to sing some hymns with them. You lead on your small instrument, do you not?” The wonderful look of brightness and animation on his face as he said this I shall never forget, for he added: “If you take the meeting at three o’clock this window will be open, and you will know that I am joining in with the singing.”

How I wished I could have made a picture of the fine old man and his beautiful surroundings on that memorable day!

……………….

This is the account that appeared on the 19th August 1915 in the Baptist “Watchman-Examiner” in Washington D.C. (Q29/2:70). In 1922, friends in Los Angeles who knew her wrote an affidavit (L.A. affidavit) (MooreJ:79). In 1940, Prof. Bole released a letter he had received from her in the early 1920’s (Bole letter) (MooreJ:86). These repeated most of the above account with some minor variations and additions, and we will refer to these later.

Is this fiction? Possibly, there has been a lack/paucity of the statement of possible fact.

For this sharing, we have the choice as we have been given to listen to, accept and place our hopes in an existence to come where ‘time’ does not exist. I must admit my amazement at the similarities of a vast majority of people who have been pronounced. Very humbly I say, I am simply doing what I dreamt that I communicated I would do before ‘waking’ up from the MOST amazing ‘dream’ I ever had. In fact, we say thay God created the Universe. These are things that are seen, spoken into being. The seen is created from and by the unseen. Our site/vision is limited at this time. There are SO many shares on our vision, read:

https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Vision

Most importantly, you have a decision. Yes, no or possibly?

Father Lord, You created me. I am fully aware that doubt has filled my mind. I come into Your presence to cast my lot. I roll them with You. Having heard all the arguments, I am taking no chances. I humbly turn my life over to you. I cast my ballot to have You in my life. Embrace me with Your Love, relieve and release the past hurt and pain, make me a new creation in you, Amen

If you prayed the above, quietly find a believer/a Christian you can share with, pray with. An individual who will be there now and for always.

What leads us, drives us? What is Gods story? His-story? What touches on every topic, no matter how ‘insignificant’? Where and how do we place our hope/trust? What divides us? Not pulls the group/family apart though it has been known to, but rather is a good ‘shake-down’ when needed?
We all have an idea.
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”Hebrews 4:12
No more need be said! Why? It is available to almost all. In Nazi Germany and in various parts of the world, a tight limitation is placed on distribution, reading, sharing. If you have a bible, or access to one, do you read it? Why I ask if you don’t? This is the day of technology, cell phones, tablets, Pc’s are available to most. If not available secondary to cost. The physical bible exists. Torn sheets of Scripture were passed around, memorized. It might have slipped our minds, but there currently are ‘memory’ games. Use yours lately?

I asked my children what their favorite bible verses were. I am proud to say that they knew. Didn’t hurt to ask, it is my hope that it stimulated a desire to know more. ONE spoke of the book of Job, very deep! In our lives we all experience ‘hardship’/challenges. We’re there so many before we chose to follow The LORD? Movies/books/shows… I will be honest, these take time away from truly studying or reading The Word.

When was the last time you did? We habe shared on this subject before. What is your favorite verse, book, chapter? So many things come easily: John 3:16, “All things work together for good…”, 1 Corinthians 13’ing it (The ‘love’ chapter), Galatians 5:22’ing it
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

The Scripture touches on everything. Think, it is history, what happens that has not happened before? Sound familiar? Ecclesiastes 3:15
“Whatever is has already been,
and what will be has been before;
and God will call the past to account.”
Let us look further! Ecclesiastes 1:9-11
“What has happened before will happen again. What has been done before will be done again. There is nothing new in the whole world.
“Look,” they say, “here is something new!” But no, it has all happened before, long before we were born. No one remembers what has happened in the past, and no one in days to come will remember what happens between now and then.”
But! “The wiser you are, the more worries you have; the more you know, the more it hurts.”
Ecclesiastes 1:18

I need say no more! We may find ourselves in a ‘pickle’ ever happened? As I just shared, the story of Job has so many reminders of life. Yes, there were things he did which we might not agree with, like offering sacrifices when his children came back from a ‘party.’ Can anyone ‘ove-do’ it? Yes! But all to Gods GLORY. The sacrifice has been made! Our sins are forgiven. We have someone, a place to turn to! Hebrews 10:10 “And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

Frankly, I need say no more, it has been shared. What we go through is in no way new. Cancer- surgery/chemo? Been done, or how/why would the treatments exist? Yes! I will brazenly say that it in some ways is a blessing. We have shared on this, we might have watched or heard of the movie Quo Vadis. What was the advantage? A few minutes of unbelievable ‘torture,’ then an eternity of bliss.

We at times are so centered on the ‘now’s, how about the ‘then?’ I will ask, where are you going? Thought of it?
Even being philosophic:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_end
As Christians:
The Ultimate End – We believe and faith it. There are untold grammatical offerings, look it up under “Ultimate end.” You will see why I shared that.

We are, we have, by His grace, we are going, Amen.

Be blessed with peace as your problems fall to pieces IJN, Amen

Lord, we give You thanks for this day; The blessings, Your fullness we experienced, our testimony of Your Love. Father, You are our ALL. We exist in gratitude, Amen
We know that we wandered off Your path in emtion, thought, feeling and action; forgive us Lord as we allow wrongs done to slip away in Jesus’ name. We need You Lord, with You there is NOTHING impossible, we praise You for our abilities. Glory to Your name as You convert our disabilities into blessed ability, Amen
ALL glory to Your holy name, Amen. We rest in Your presence as we trust You. Glory Father, Amen

What The Lord has done, He does and will do, Amen

Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge (Psalm 17:7 NLT).wp-15241637394286308619826100473796.jpg

Forgive!

“We need to forgive those who wronged us for our own sake, because the scripture is clear that unless we do we are in danger of preferring to die with our enemies instead of saving ourselves from the judgment to come upon the world”

In the prayer Jesus taught, we ask God to forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us. Love is as Love does! We were filthy in sin, yet we have been redeemed and new robes placed on us. Should we not do the same? Allow things to roll off our backs in Jesus’ name, Amen

An old King realized that if he died he had no one to take over his throne. He decided to adopt a son.

He launched a competition and 10 boys made it to the top. The King said to them, “I have one last test and whoever comes top will become my adopted son and heir to my throne”.

He gave each boy a seed of corn and told them to take the seed home, plant and nurture it for 3 weeks. The 10 boys took their seeds and ran home to plant their seeds.

In one home, the boy and his parents were sad when the seed failed to sprout. The boy had diligently done everything required but he failed.

His friends advised him to buy a seed and plant it, but his God fearing parents who had always taught him honesty refused.

The day to give account to the King came and the 10 boys went to the palace. All the other 9 boys were successful with their seeds.

The King went to each boy asking – “Is that what came out of the seed I gave you?” And each boy said “Yes, your majesty”. The King would nod and move down the line until he came to the last boy in the line who was shaking with fear.

The King asked him – “What did you do with the seed I gave you?” The boy said “I planted it and cared for it your majesty but it failed to sprout.” The King went to the throne with the boy and said, “I gave these boys boiled seeds and a boiled seed cannot sprout.

If a King must have one quality, it must be honesty and only this boy passed the test.” We live in a society where people will do anything for success.

God sometimes does not give us things because He wants to teach us a lesson.

How many people out there have achieved success the wrong way? How many people send their children to expensive schools, build houses, buy expensive cars, etc, with stolen money?

How many people are occupying top positions yet they stole the certificates? How many people are successful out there at all costs?

HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE CROWNED AS KINGS IN HEAVEN FOR BEING FAITHFUL UNTIL THE END? I PRAY THAT YOU AND I BE FAITHFUL TO THE END..!!!

Please be faithful to God no matter what life throws at you, even if life gives you boiled seed.

We as Christians are blessed! Big-Lessons- Emerging-Solely-Surreptitiously-In-New-God-granted waves of plenty, Amen
