 Love one another
Just as I have loved you
John 13:34-35
 
  
 
WHAT CAN I DO?
 
 
If a brother or sister be naked,
And destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them,
Depart in peace, be ye warmed
And filled: notwithstanding ye give
Them not those things which are
Needful to the body; what doth it profit?
JAMES 2:15-16
 
 
Kind words are good, but they need to be supported  by kind deeds. None of my good wishes and concerns will feed a hungry child or find a job for a father. Hospitality always involves doing something. It may be as simple as introducing a person to an agency that will help or to a used car dealer they can trust. If you know a person needs, we can find a way to help. Lord, I know I cannot solve everyone's problems. Make me mindful of what I can do and willing to to take the time involved to ease another's burden.

               TRIUMPHANT CHURCH

                  DAVID WILKERSON

 

 There is a triumphant church rising up even now, coming out of great trials of faith.

 

This last-days church is emerging from fiery furnaces and long days of affliction. So, you ask, what does God plan to do?

 

What I see happening is the Holy Spirit at work bringing a people into utter brokenness. He’s leading them to a revelation of weakness in their own flesh, in order to show himself strong. I see him bringing his people to the end of themselves, crushing their stubborn wills, until their mindset becomes only, “His will be done.” I see him leading his beloved ones into places of trial so difficult only a miracle can deliver them. And through it all, they are becoming wholly dependent on the Lord for everything.

 

Does this describe your situation? Perhaps you’ve been walking with Jesus for years, and you’ve never faced a test like the one in front of you right now. Things are coming at you that seem overwhelming, things that only God can do something about. And you realize only he can bring you through.

 

Right now, Islamics are preparing for a final jihad, to “take over the world” for Allah. Islamic training camps are rising up worldwide with a message of hate, characterized by merciless beheadings.

 

Yet the Lord also has a people in training, a people he’s going to use to face down the wrath of this world. How will he accomplish this? He is training and equipping them in his loving kindness and peace. Our God is a God of love, and he won’t use bombs, guns or suicide squads, but an overcoming people who are fearless in the Lord of tender mercies.

 

All over the world, God’s people are experiencing suffering, afflictions and torture more than ever in their lifetime. And of this I am sure: there is a divine, eternal purpose in the intensity of these spiritual and physical battles now being endured in the true body of Christ. “His tender mercies are over all his works” (Psalm 145:9 ).

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.  They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God."
                                              --Revelation 21:3
God will live with us; we shall live forever with him.  Oh, the marvelous things we will do together with our glorious God! And, with each other.  Together we will rule the world and judge fallen angels.  Together, we will eat the fruit of the tree of life and be pillars in the temple of God.  Together, we shall receive the morning star and be crowned with life, righteousness, and glory.  Most of all, we will enjoy the best of "togetherness" -- we shall be together with God. 
 
Note how many times I've used the word "together."  Heaven is not a hangout for mavericks roaming solo across the universe, doing their own thing.  It's a place of sweet togetherness and maybe that's why Revelation 21 says we live together in a city, the New Jerusalem.  We won't be speckled here and there in rural cottages isolated from one another, but we will live in harmony in a city.  A nice city.  A holy city.
 
Do you consider yourself a loner when it comes to being with God's people?  God has given us communal relationships on earth - our families, friends at school, co-workers at the office - to prepare us for heaven.  Scripture always describes our heavenly union with God not as private, but as corporate.  Today's verse underscores that God will be "with his people."
 
*  *  *  *  *

You can prepare for this heavenly togetherness today "...not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."  (Hebrews 10:25 RSV)
 
Lord, I look forward to the day when you will remove all barriers between your people.  I long for the day when we will truly be one in you.  Please help me to enjoy being together with all my brothers and sisters in you - and remind me that this communion of saints is preparing us all for heavenly togetherness.

 Proverbs 17:27-28 This proverb basically says, "If you have any sense at all, keep your mouth shut." Solomon puts it more eloquently when he writes, "He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace: when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive."

When we have an understanding heart, we have an excellent spirit, and we will listen more than we speak. We would save our souls from many troubles if we learned to be a people of few words. Whenever we speak anything aloud, demon spirits are listening, and they will use the very words we speak against us.

Satan cannot read our minds, but he hears our minds if we speak them out. I heard someone say that if we are always giving others a piece of our mind, we run the risk of becoming half-witted.

We are exhorted in this proverb to hold our peace. I have always prayed for my sons to have the same excellent spirit Daniel had. Daniel was a young man who was exalted to high positions because he knew what to say, when to say it, how to say it and also when to be quiet.

When we hold our peace, we make even our enemies to be at peace with us. Daniel had adversaries, but these adversaries eventually saw the evidence of the mighty God Daniel served when he was thrown into the fire and into the lions' den. Daniel never said a word against his nation, but instead he prayed diligently for his nation, and he even confessed the sins of his nation as if they were his own. A person has an excellent spirit when he uses his voice to pray for the leaders of his nation rather than murmur and complain and criticize those in authority. I flinch every time I hear a joke about our president, because I know how such talk is strictly against what we have been taught in the Word. The Word teaches us we are to speak evil of no man and to honor those in authority. We are exhorted in the Bible to use our tongues to edify, not to tear down. I know many times I have failed in this area. You may want to join me as I confess this to the Lord.

Lord, forgive me for the times I have used my tongue to tear down rather than to edify. Forgive me for the times I have criticized my leaders instead of praying for them. Help me to be a person of understanding who has an excellent spirit. Help me to listen more than I speak, and may the words I speak always be pleasing in Your sight.

                                   "Father in Jesus Name, we ask that all who read Understand and be encouraged..amen"
                                                                                     Ever think to yourself, or ask yourself "What do I do?" I have this "thing" and if Others Knew about it, "I would be Toast!!! Everybody would think "less of me" and belittle me, I would no longer be in good or right standing with them anymore? I wouldn't be "perfect!" Because.. "I have a problem.. or fault, or something I need to overcome.. something that I seem to be "Stuck in" and it won't go away.. and the devil makes me feel "bad and ugly, and guilty" because of it.. And.. If I were to make it "known".. I would have to "move or something!" or change Churches.. or others wouldn't come over any more...  .. "What do I do?"..  Well.. Have you Ever Felt this way.. or Do you feel this way.. or know of somebody who does?..  And, What, "pray tell" have You or anyone else for that matter "done" for them? Let me see.. they maybe came to you.. in Good Faith.. Hoping You would Help them.. and "what happened?"... Did you "spread a rumor?".. Did you "tell others who couldn't be Trusted?".. did it Get Around? (In  a very Bad Way?) Was there a "Mountain made of a moe Hill?".. Blown all out of proportion!!  (which is another way that people Leave the Church.. and backslide.. and go back into sin.. and such?)  No... You didn't "twist their arm" to do those things.. "I am Sure God Will Let You Off The HOOK!!" (right...) Book of James... 3:8-18!!! This is all about your "mouth, and your Attitude.. and the reasons you do things.. " Yes.. 'I am sure God will 'let you off the hook'..  What? OH? You ask the "Lord" to Forgive you.. (yes.. this is So Important!!! don't we know!!) But.. What about Asking your Brother or Sister to Forgive you? Or, have we Forgotten about this? (after reading James..) And, remembering some of the things Jesus said about "the Mote thing?".. and the 70 times 7 Well, let's continue... Maybe, you have a "friend" and you Have Confessed things to them.. and then! All of a sudden.. you have a "Falling Out!" And, for "spite" they "Tell Others on you because they are Mad at you!!" Now.. That's a Good Christian!! (Think?)  No Wonder people are Afraid to "Confess Their Faults to one another as the Bible Says?" (after reading James again) See, all this tells anyone is that Jesus, the Living Word of God.. Really Wasn't in their Heart to begin with... it was only "Mouth Service!!" Lip Service!  Confessing our 'faults' in in James;5:16.. "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Whereas, some haven't read this far.. possibly?  You have to have the "Right Heart" in the Spirit of the Lord All of the time.. and not just "some of the time".. or when you "feel like it".. or when it is convenient for you! Christianity is a Lifestyle, not a "pick and choose" at random when it pleases You, or circumstances. It's about "LOVE of GOD" IN the Spirit of the Lord! And None Other! IF we had "these kind of persons in the Church, others could feel Free to come to them with No Fear.. Knowing that they would be in Good Godly Hands, to be Prayed For.. to the Lord to be "healed" of their Faults.. like we do when we Pray for a healing of someone who is "sick?"... See? No difference.. And, the Latter part of the scripture says... "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Which means.. you Don't just go to Anybody to Confess your Faults? But, to a Righteous Person of God! I don't care how much a person says they will "listen".. Listeners are not necessarily the Righteous Persons of the Lord!  So.. let's get our hearts Right before God.. and "Read James" and Apply it to our "Lifestyle" as Christan's, and Not be sold out to the devils ways in the Church of Jesus Christ! But, rather Helping one another to accomplish the Goals in each others lives as we Grow Closer to Him.. to be "Christ Like" in all of our ways..

When your endurance is fully
Developed, you will be perfect
And complete, needing nothing.
JAMES 1:4
 
 
How easy it would be to give up! And the truth is, many people would. Yet deep in your heart you know God asks you to carry on until you receive God - given release. Why? Because He has full spiritual maturity in mind for you. You may be unable to figure out how your current situation can lead you to a fuller, more joyful tomorrow, but God knows. Put your trust in Him as you continue on the way He has laid out for you.

IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT HERE TODAY. I THINK THE TEMP. WAS 100 DEGREES, HIGH HUMIDITY.  HOW I THANK THE LORD FOR AIR CONDITIONING....

I DID ALL MY RUNNING AROUND TODAY, SO I WON'T HAVE TO GET OUT TOMORROW.. I DO HAVE A CHIROPRACTOR'S APPOINTMENT, BUT THEN COMING RIGHT HOME AGAIN....

HOPE YOU  HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING.

GOD BLESS

 
So he reasoned... in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
                                                     --Acts 17:17
Is there such a thing as honest-to-goodness coincidences? Of course. Are they planned by God? Of course. Wait a minute. Can the two go together? Of course!
Take today's verse. Some of those window-shoppers who just happened to be meandering through the marketplace that day Paul was preaching ended up becoming believers. Yet the coincidence of their leisurely stroll, examining cantaloupe and chatting with neighbors that day was no coincidence, for believers have been chosen "before the creation of the world" (Ephesians 1:4).
The trick? No trick at all. With God, all things are possible. Even bonafide coincidences. God arranges for natural events to occur at specific times to further his ends. In other words, he plans coincidences. How or to what extent will be one fascinating feature of heaven! In the meantime...

It's no mistake that your car broke down and that kindly stranger helped you. It's no accident that at lunchtime the same young man keeps coming by your office door hawking sandwiches. The people you meet, the neighbors you live near, the folks who sit in the pew in front of you are there by divine appointment. Why? So that you might fulfill God's purpose: to make him real to all those around you.

 
* * * * *
 
Have fun doing that today in every "coincidence."

Lord, to me it's mind-bogglingly complicated, but, oh, so natural. Thank you for placing the people that you do in my life. Energize me to fulfill your purpose in each divine coincidence - help me to make you oh, so real to each and every person.

               THIS IS A TRUE STORY.                      
 
"Father in Jesus Name, we Thank You Lord, from the bottom of our hearts, for all the wonderful things.. that You have prepared for us to receive from You this day..especially of 'Your Love"... Amen...
 
 I will never forget one of the best Christmas we had in our house. The kids came down all excited.. we gathered in the living room around the tree, sitting on the couch, and the floor.. and I began to hand out the gifts to each and everyone. As they were tearing through the paper, unwrapping them..their eyes bulging, mouths open..and exclamations of joy.. their gifts sitting beside them.. and saying "Thank you daddy!"  "This is what I wanted!" With "hugs and kisses"... I told them.. "There is More!".. They looked a little shocked..but intrigued..as I reached behind the tree and exposed "More!" And they Loved it!.. and the "Thank yous began all over".. As I stood there looking at them being so satisfied and ecstatic, eyes gleaming.. I got there attention and exclaimed.. "That isn't all because there is More!"  Oh my! I didn't think their little hearts could stand it!  I went into the other room.. behind the big wall, where I had hidden a few things "special" and brought them out.. and gave them to them! Oh! Daddy!! As they opened these gifts, tears of Joy and gratitude filled their eyes.. because they were "Special Gifts" just for each of them..  And.. "Hugs and Kisses" with Thank Yous and Jumping up and down!  We picked up the paper and put it in a bag, making sure that nothing was thrown away that was a Gift, or good..and I said once again to them.. "Hey, guess what? (as they looked at me)  "There Is More!"  ... You should have seen the looks on their faces..it was priceless! ... And, as I reached into the tree.. on the branches.. and took out these "little special things" all wrapped up with their names on them.. and handed to each of them even "More!".. they couldn't believe it..  Watches, and little things just for them.. bracelets with charms, and heart to heart "gifts" especially from "me" to them!  They were so touched.. and the Love filled the room! And, the "Hugs and Kisses" began all over..but, with more meaning than just excitement this time.. They Loved their Daddy! Yes, it was a very "Special Christmas" .. one I will never forget..  I was asked by my oldest.. "Dad? Is that all?"... For now I said,always remember, as far as me Loving you? "There Is Always More!" .....Just like the Lord,... when you think "that is all"... He Always Has More!     Lord,    ..."Father, In Jesus Name... We Thank you Lord..for Your continual supply of "Love" to us by Your Spirit into our hearts and lives "everyday".. and we do not forget, to always expect from  You..to "Always Have More" when we least expect it, and especially when we need to be Loved by "You"
