That Bible says in Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus
God wants us where He has got us. It is by His Merciful design and way to guide us. We always need to search our hearts because we are so full of imperfections. I just had this though this very moment and I am going to give it a name. "Visions of and Old Prospector." I see a man standing in the watery stream. Water to his knees. He bends down and stretches his arms with a pan in his hands. Into the bottom of the stream his hands dip and scrape up the bottom. Then he pulls it up and looks in the pan. He can't see so clearly. So he turns, and wobbles, round, and round, ever so carefully not to lose stuff at the bottom pan to let out the unclear water and see clearly what is left. Something is shining in the sun light. It glistens so very bright. It's Gold, It's Silver, It's Diamonds, it's Rubies, some things that are so Precious. That's Me at the bottom... That's You all that He can see. God is the prospector, He. If I just look at by circumstance life can look hopeless, as God watches how we are going to improve with each test. Oh yes, the test can make us breathe less, confused, unfamiliar territory, no comfort zone. We are in His corner, no else where to go it seems. He Loves us so much, smiles with joy, as we make the right choices, and weeps with us as we choose the wrong. God is a true Father. Abba Father.
You see, just this very morning I was again afflicted. There is so much confusion, disruption that can attack us everyday. I said God, I think I really need to keep my mouth shut a few days and don't write because of all this added misery to my life again. Then God showed me the Old Prospector, and everything changed. I had focus, restoration, the ability to write it down and share it because that is what God all along wants me to do. Share my heart to you. God uses the enemy attacks for His purpose for us to our benefit and perfect us. That is why That Bible says, in Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
It amazes me how God will bring a light at the end of the tunnel.
Along time ago I was looking in the mirror. I asked the Lord to show me a miracle (Powerball) that's true. That could sound weird and testing God but; then I heard His voice speak back to me. He said, " You Are A Miracle". I then replied back, God your are so right. I see all my failures, heartbreaks, wounds but the Living Redeeming God Jesus see's me as His Miracle. How fit and Humbling that is. I am His Miracle! I was lost in sin but Jesus pursued me save me and change me. My friends that is a real miracle.
I am not perfect but I am being perfected. Thank you Lord for all your comfort and greater expectations with me. You always open my eyes so I see into myself. ? I am Loved! You are Loved! ?
When we get hurt and feel damaged, taken advantaged over and wonder what we are going to do to fix this? We need to read that Bible. It says, Love does not keep score. Everything we go through must be surrendered. So we can live with ourselves and; not be up one moment, and down the next. We need consistency in the way we Love and are Loved.
Romans 5:5 NIV Says,
5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
The Holy Spirit is a dispenser of the Love of God.
We keep asking God for power, the miraculous or more Gifts. In the Holy Spirit there are nine gifts, and all nine gifts are in the Holy Spirit we have received with the Holy Spirit. We need Faith released by Love. We don't need to feel Power, when we pray healing for someone. We need to feel Love and they will feel the power.❤️?? Jehovah Rapha means: God that heals. Heal our hearts Lord Jesus so we can be effected in your Kingdom, praying through faith, released by God's Love to do a prefect work; we are not capable of, but only through His Love. The Lover of the universe (Jesus), decided to Love Me, Love You, Love Everyone...with Agape Love. Baptize us Lord Jesus with Agape Love, Our First Love. Can I get a little encouragement to keep on writing and sharing my heart? ?? There is so much more.
A Word from Oct. 11, 2015
Good morning God... Thanks for the dreams. Just a quick note to tell you, I love you!
I admit It's not always clear understanding things that is bad that happening everyday. But if I had one word to express it would the word would be , "hate."
People hate people. They hurt people, then others judge you (God) for it, for allowing bad things to happen. They defy you and all your teachings. God, they fired you, took your job and screwed up big time.
Your Word says how you feel. Everything is in your Word. People turn bad because they think they called out to you and you were silent. But you gave us your Word. You gave us promises, hope love. You came down from your thrown in Heaven, lived as one of us. With the same difficulties, but in multitude and over came them to teach us, and redeem us in crucifixion death, taking our curse upon yourself because you love us all. You were not silent! It falls on deaf ears.
People do wrong, feel guilty, and ignore you( God). They fired you (God), and became their own god.
So God, I understand why bad things happen to the just and the unjust. It's hard to witness, and bear the pain of the innocent because of the evil. Cain killed Abel. Abel was innocent and loved you. Cain was jealous of Abel, angry at you, and fired you becoming his own god. You did not stop it then even, though Abel truly loved you. It's in your word forever.
When people fire you, you don't get in their way. You gave us free will, and choices, good or bad. We all are going to answer for it. You will not be silenced.
