O GOD, MY FAITHFUL GOD

If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

— Romans 8:10-11

1. O God, my faithful God, true fountain overflowing,
Without whom nothing is, all perfect gifts bestowing:
Give me a healthy frame, and may I have within
A conscience free from blame, a soul unstained by sin.

2. Grant me the strength to do with ready heart and willing
Whatever you command, my calling here fulfilling;
That I do what I should while trusting You to bless
The outcome for my good, for You must give success.

3. Keep me from saying words that later need recalling;
Guard me lest idle speech may from my lips be falling;
But when within my place I must and ought to speak
Then to my words give grace lest I offend the weak.

4. Lord, let me win my foes with kindly words and actions,
and let me find good friends for counsel and correction.
Help me, as You have taught, to love both great and small
And by Your Spirit’s might to live in peace with all.

5. Let me depart this life confiding in my Savior;
By grace receive my soul that it may live forever;
And let my body have a quiet resting place
Within a Christian grave; and let it sleep in peace.

6. And on that final day when all the dead are waking,
stretch out Your mighty hand, my deathly slumber breaking.
Then let me hear Your voice, redeem this earthly frame,
and bid me to rejoice with those who love Your name.

‎4/‎28/‎2023 – Rise, take up thy bed, and walk

John 5:1-9 “After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, He says to him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steps down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the Sabbath.”

I think there must be very many places, where sick and helpless people have been coming for a long time, “waiting for the moving of the water,” hoping for anyone to help them receive the miracle and healing they need and want so bad. From pastors to parishioners, people who go to church and don’t; have heard about God coming down and visiting His people with miracles and healings; but they never find.

How many pastors and teachers, evangelists and missionaries, workers of all descriptions; who have dedicatd long years of sacrifice, and study, and commitment to pursue a Calling for God; who have read the astonishing testimonies of the Lord working miracles in times gone by; but are like the impotent man laying at the edge of the pool, but never getting help into the water?

The Lord Jesus sees who you all are, and He knows that you’ve been a long time in that case. You may not even recognize who He is, when He comes up to you: but He has come specifically for you to be healed. As far as you knew, a stranger; a stranger with the kindest face you’ve ever seen; comes up to you, and simply asks you, Wilt thou be made whole? And in pure simplicity you tell Him the truth, like He’s been a friend all your life; Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I’m coming, someone else gets in before me!

Are you like this man, coming faithfully for all these years; waiting for the “moving of the water;” which you’ve actually seen happen enough times for others; but you still sit there, feeling passed over and forgotten? Well the Lord has come especially for you today! And He asks you a simple and direct question: Wilt thou be made whole? What do you then say? Sir, I have no man . . . But the Lord already knows all that; and He didn’t ask if anyone was helping you; He asked if you want to be made whole. So after you tell Him, you have no man to help you; He says, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk! You want to be made whole? You don’t need anyone but the word of Jesus, who tells you, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 

Notice the Lord didn’t tell him he had to come to church, or get a copy of this or that book by this really powerful speaker; NO! He told him, get up and walk by yourself! Not, surround yourself with religious paraphernalia, and churchy decorations; not, read all the most prominent and famous writers; not fill up all your time with church activities and tithe, tithe, tithe! But, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. You are not going to find Jesus like you long for, by steeping yourself in all the outward forms and methodologies. You are not going to come into the real New Testament life in the power of the Spirit, by Daily Devotionals, and mimicking the lingo and the gesticulations. You will find Jesus, AND all the things He has purchased for you with His own blood; by rising from where you are, and taking your situation, and WALKING!

And you know what? Jesus didn’t go to everybody who was waiting at the pool that day: just one impotent man. Churches are filled with people “waiting for the moving of the water,” but aren’t really ready for Jesus to come find them, and give them what they’re waiting for. Many are okay, and have grown accustomed to the routine; and their attitude is; Well, if I see that water move, I’m gonna get in first no matter what! But their every day life besides, is nothing they really want to change; and they’ve just gotten used to being impotent and infirm, or having whatever else it is they “hope someday” to be healed from.

Hebrews 11:1,6 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen . . . But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” 

Notice how whenever Jesus healed someone, He most often just told them, Your faith has made you whole, go and sin no more… Rise, take up your bed and walk! As long as you’re waiting for some man to come by and help you, you will have a long wait. You’re not going to enter into the walk with God you have always heard about and wished for, by reading books and going to church and decorating all your surroundings with religious icons and so on. They that worship the Father must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth; for the Father seeks such to worship Him. None of that other “stuff” is going to answer for you when you stand before the Lord at the last day. Only the grace and truth REALLY wrought in you, that you seized upon by faith, and walked in it; THAT is how the Lord will know you as His own.

THE GRACIOUSNESS OF UNCERTAINTY
 
“It doth not yet appear what we shall be.” 1 John iii. 2
 
Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing. We imagine that we have to reach some end, but that is not the nature of spiritual life. The nature of spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty, consequently we do not make our nests anywhere. Common sense says – “Well, supposing I were in that condition…” We cannot suppose ourselves in any condition we have never been in.
 
Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness, it should be rather an expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, He packs our life with surprises all the time. When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him. Jesus said, “Except ye…become as little children.” Spiritual life is the life of a child. We are not uncertain of God, but uncertain of what He is going to do next. If we are only certain in our beliefs, we get dignified and severe and have the ban of finality about our views; but when we are rightly related to God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy.
 
“Believe also in Me,” said Jesus, not – “Believe certain things about Me.” Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come. Remain loyal to Him.

BE MY VOICE

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.

AMEN.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone. Thinking of levi…

The Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy Name. 
Thy Kingdom come. 
Thy Will be done, 
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
as we forgive those who trespass against us. 
And lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Matthew 18:20

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

No matter how many sins, even serious ones,
and imperfections one may have committed and commits,
he must never despair of salvation,
nor lose confidence in God.
The divine clemency is infinitely greater than human malice.

-Saint John Chrysostom
.

.
Whoever handles matters by means of deceit and subterfuges
offends the Providence of God and renders himself unworthy
of His Paternal Care.

-Saint Vincent dePaul

.
.
 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Matthew 7:1-5

Good morning everybody!

This video is proof that there was a coup against the Constitution. The lyrics are censored at operating system level. You cannot find the lyrics online. You cannot copy and paste the lyrics onto your clipboard, even if you are not connected to the internet. All operating systems have code to censor these lyrics, in spite of the fact that is an abomination to the Constitution.

If you ever wondered what is the point of the millions of govt run fake social media profiles, these lyrics describe in detail what the FBI does with them.

And if the feds try so hard to censor this information, you can stick it in their eye just by listening…
