Jesus is Still the Same

What has changed about our Lord Jesus? Nothing. Do we expect Him to act the same or do the same things as He did in His ministry here? Has He lost any power or has the Holy Spirit left Him?
Isaiah 61
1THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound, 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] [a]and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Jesus accepted the scroll of Isaiah at
the place where it was written,(Luke 4:18-22)
18The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because He has anointed Me [the Anointed One, the Messiah] to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity],

19To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [the day [l]when salvation and the free favors of God profusely abound.
20Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing [attentively] at Him.

21And He began to speak to them: Today this Scripture has been fulfilled [m]while you are present and hearing.

22And all spoke well of Him and marveled at the words of grace that came forth from His mouth;

2 Peter 3:8
Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
TIMELESS..

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).

Did the Spirit of the Lord ever leave Jesus? NO
Has He ever changed? NO
How long is a year with God? TIMELESS
Therefore Jesus is still healing, delivering and telling the poor that He is still there for them. Hallelujah !!!

We are poor in many ways especially in spirit and soul and in body.

What is in a Name?

For instance in Muskoka here we use the name of Norman Bethune to attract visitors worldwide. His name as a surgeon who helped folks in wars gives Canada a nice taste in the mouth of global citizens who are christian and communist.
He did not live to a ripe old age but what he accomplished on earth was amazing. As a pastor's son he knew about Jesus who also lived a short life here but impacted the entire world.
What is in a name seems to carry a lot of clout here and about. Hopefully the positive outweighs the negative. I wonder about using my last married name or sticking to my maiden name if I am to be famous. Perhaps only my first and second names should be known then the buck will stop here with me instead of going on through the families.
We hope to have a great and wonderful effect on this old world that lasts for eternity. How this comes about only our Lord knows and daily brings it into being. A name of reknown takes a lifetime to build and may only become famous after our death. The nice thing about it is the ties that bind other folks together because of who we are or were.
I guess that the main thing is the main thing after all. Be who we are and be all we can be. Leave the rest to destiny and fate that is resting in the hands of the Lord Jesus.

Feeling Like I do not Belong

Have you ever continued through years of your life feeling like your

not in the right place even though you were born there? How about

in your marriage after 40 years or your family after 63 years?

Feeling truly unwanted, uncared for and intolerated seems to be the

normal in some people. No matter how often you are included in the

happenings of the day a deep down core level voice says ' they

include you because they have to as you are family, a blood

relative.'

Does every interest you have seem out of place in the house where

you dwell? Are your beliefs beyond the grasp of others or lesser in

their expressed ways? How often do you feel overcome with grief

because unwelcome seems stamped on the doors even in your own

family.

What does God feel in me? Is it the same for Him or am I sensing

how I act towards Him? Do God and I have enough in common to

get along well in our relationship? What is it Lord? Why is this not

going away after forever.

According to your Word, the Holy Bible we are not permanent here

on earth and we do cohabit with ones not of the same mindset. We

are just passing through into eternity not looking at this world as

our home after all. Is this thought so deeply embedded in us that

we cannot feel content even with our fleshly brothers and sisters.

Is that why we find friends that mean more to us than our own kin?

Is that how come we enjoy like minded people? Temporary versus

eternal and permanent. The head is not the tail nor the eye the ear.

We need to always search for another the same. We need to feel

connected, close, clonish. A soulmate , a kindred spirit, one heart,

one mind, one body.

Is that what You want God? To be one with me and I with You? Let

it be dear Lord, let it be. Cause me to be molded into You, to be a

part of Yourself , to be interested in the same things and people

that You are into. Help me to fit into You and adopt Your ways.

Make me over anew and baptize me into loving others as You do.

Your love appreciates variety and enjoys differences, colors, shapes,

sizes, textures, sounds. What an incredible feeling that must be.

Adoption can be very uncomfortable and hard to live in. Is that why

You comfort us Holy Spirit? We need to feel a part of God and His

family before we can function as one with all. All for one and one

for all sounds great and must feel wondrous.

What do you do When?

We are told from our youngest days that Daddy will take care of our troubles. Daddy will fix it and Mommy will make it better with a hug and a kiss. Eat this and you will feel good again or watch this movie or read this book and your troubles will pass, we are advised as we age. In our oldest stages we hear things like it is okay, just another bump in the road.

There has to be something more original, more secure, more in keeping with who we are. There is surely a better way to handle our many trials, tribulations and unwarranted attacks on our persons. Life has to have a positive for every negative. Every natural has to have a supernatural too.

I have found that if I am overwhelmed by a sister's cancer, a mother's invalid state, a daughter's divorce, grandchildren's dilemmas, dying cousins my own age, dying friends of days gone by and daily news reports of wars and natural disasters that are happening all together in one time slot, I must have help. I must know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me.

It turns out there is a light to focus on and the name of the light is Jesus Christ. If I follow His leading I will come out of all of this in good condition. If I try to work it all out I will go insane and my body will get sick onto death. So I choose to follow and live myself.

Jesus has a Daddy, Father God who He is willing to share and He will ask Daddy God to not only fix things but kiss us all better.
If we love Him He will work all things for our good. I do love Him and expect Him to bring good out of all this calamity.

This is called faith and it is activated by calling on the Lord God Almighty of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob, our modern day Israel. Why suffer alone and lose the battles of life when we can have Father God the great Jehovah lifting us up out of despair and holding us close to His heart?

Jesus walks on water with us and calms the storms.Jesus Christ is the way and we can stick to Him getting where we need to be at precisely the right time. In chaos Jesus tells us to focus on Him and see that our hope is in God alone.His other names are Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace.
Jesus is all of these and more than enough for every human being on the earth and in Heaven.Call on Him, follow Him and rise above every circumstance imaginable.

Publishing His News

I do not know much of anything about the publishing business or being published. The little I have experienced goes from one extreme to another. I can spend a small fortune or get it done free of charge. Free of charge gets you no publicity but word of mouth which is still a good thing. Some advertising is low key but is it reaching the audience you desire the most?
I wrote an e-book with great fervor of soul and published it on free ebooks.com. I also wanted to publish it in hard cover for the computer illiterate crowd as it contained vital information for all. That is a very costly venture that I intend to do one day not for the gain or the fame but to include all peoples in the e-books warning of eternal dooms.
Woe is me if I stay quiet about the Lord's information concerning souls that do not heed His will,way and plan. I have been told that what the Lord orders the Lord pays for. Does that mean that I put it on my credit card and He will get the money to me before payment is due?Does faith require me to start production believing that it will be a best seller and the cost will be covered.

Jesus IS Coming anytime now.

At the last trump His appearance is expected. The dead in Christ shall rise and us who are waiting and watching for His appearing will be gathered up to meet our Lord Jesus in the air. How about Friday(eastern time) at that last trump in Israel? Are we ready? Do you have other plans for that day?

Will the sweet Holy Spirit urge us that morning to spend the day with Him? Will Father God speak rapture into our souls at that particular moment? Will we seemingly know for sure with a deep,deep certainty that the time of our redemption is now?
Will we be occupied with heavenly things and endeavors? Is there an ingathering happening in our families that we are not aware of?

What dreams and visions are the prophets in our time seeing? Is there any indications on the horizon? Has the Lord spoken into our hearts of His returning for us? Listen to His heart. What are you hearing? There is an excitement growing in me to expect Him..

Stuff happens to draw folks to certain places at certain times for certain happenings.
Recently all but 2 of my children and their children have literally moved in to our home. What is being said here Lord? Each day that we get closer to that last trump in Israel I get more elated with the possibility.

So I say `Come quickly Lord Jesus.'

God Hates

( Prov.6)

16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

Deut.12

30Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

Psalms 11
5The Lord tests and proves the [unyieldingly] righteous, but His soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence.

Levitcus 7
18And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination,
and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

Deuteronomy 17:1
Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 18
9When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

13Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

14For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Worry, Stress and Fear Conditions

Worry, Stress and Fear Conditions

Recently the Lord God Almighty through His wonderful Holy Spirit alerted me about this very thing in my life. A lack of trust in the Lord was the cause with doubt of what the Lord says feeding it. I was alarmed that I had fallen into this hole of despair where darkness surrounded me and the only light was when I looked up to Jesus my savior and deliverer.
I called out to Him in repentance for losing my God focus and listening to the rantings of lies that cause me to lose sight of His great faithfulness. How could I, a seasoned veteran of the Jesus movement be so careless and allow the spirit of stupid to take over?
Worry is my enemy that slips into my mind and soul to overwhelm me with businesses that are not mine. To pray is to release our cares thus helping others bear their burdens to the Lord. We are not to hang onto them and maul them over and over trying to figure ways and means to get people out of their predicaments. That is God's business.
Stress is a result of worry to the max and blows us up like a balloon. It shows up in our bodies as sickness and pain. It shows off in our minds, our souls as messed up thoughts. It shows in our spirits as a weakening force. Only God can help us to restore.
Fear is the reality of what we have accepted as normal, as human. Fear will cripple, maim, and paralyze and terrorize our bodies, souls and spirits. The torment of fear is unparalleled. Anxiety feeds on fear. Stress absorbs fear like a sponge and fear multiplies and grows more fear.
In a dream the Lord showed me how that because of fear of bats I have been a hindrance to my husband's blessing of others. He has a wonderful ministry of helps that is so needed in our wicked world and my allowing fear to operate in my thoughts and emotions gets in his way and kicks in at the worst times.
Bats have never harmed me or anyone else that I know. They have been very good for our environment in eating mosquitoes and moths and other flying things that can do us bad. Sometimes they have gotten into an area where I am living and startled me . I am sure the fear in them of me was greater than the fear in me of them.
My heart will attest to the damage that fear can do and my muscles that tense up painfully scream at me to smarten up. My adrenal glands have been so overworked by my fight or flight modes that serious overload has caused them to be exhausted.
Jesus teaches the way of peace . He is the very prince of peace.
What is my problem? Forgetting whose child I am and not giving everything up to God including any fear or dread that are unfounded as being of the Lord, my creator.
Worry, stress and fear are not for the child of God. Trust means t-total, r-resting,u-under, s-severe,t-testing. We can do all this through Christ who strengthens us.
