Psalm 84:11  The Lord God is a sun and shield;

The Lord will give grace and glory;

No good thing will HE withhold

From them who we walk uprightly.

Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 HE restoreth my soul: HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; THY rod and THY staff they comfort me. 5 THOU preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: THOU anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

My husband and I have disagreed for years about making hotel reservations while traveling. He prefers not to make reservations. As a result we have spent some cold nights sleeping in the car. This has caused me to be afraid and loose trust in my husband.

 

I have been meditating on Ephesians 4:29 for a couple of months. 

 

Ephesians 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

 

A week ago, my husband wanted to go on an overnight trip. I asked if he made reservations. He said, 

" No".  I said nothing and walked away. 

 

Later my husband said that because I said nothing, he called and made a reservation.

 

He also shared this reservation story at our local church group.

This morning I found myself thanking God for saving me, causing me to be born again when a boy in my class was killed on a motorcycle, by bringing the Word to me "If you died today you would go to hell. God is your only hope."   I believed this word and asked God to please save me. Not long after that I realized that "something of God" was in me. 

A few years later, I saw in 1 Corinthians that the Holy Spirit was in me.

 

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 

 

I Corinthians 6: 19-20  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

 

And this morning I also thanked God for various times and ways HE has led and helped me through the years, bringing HIS word to me by the Holy Spirit.

While thanking God for these things, the following was given to me: 

 

Hebrews 13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 

 

Just as I have been kept and helped and led by Jesus, the Word, ever since being born again, this will be the same throughout my life. The Word given to me by the Holy Spirit will never fail. It is sure and perfect. 

 

This is a strong anchor to me. 

 

Hebrews 6:17  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of HIS counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 

 

18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 

 

19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 

 

20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

When I have to go to the doctor, before I go, I ask God to give the doctor I am seeing HIS (GOD’s) wisdom in treating me. 

 

Earlier today I needed to talk to my dog’s veterinarian about a concern I had about my dog. But before I called, I prayed that God would give him wisdom in the response he gave. 

 

Acknowledging God in the things we do becomes second nature to us, wanting HIS wisdom in everything we do.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

Hebrews 11:6   But without faith it is impossible to please HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of them that diligently seek HIM.

 

A few years ago I met a woman in the beauty shop and we seemed to find some things in common. As I got to know her more, she said she was a Christian but didn’t go to church any more because of something the pastor said to her friend, which she didn’t agree with. I never asked her what that involved. Then I realized as time went on that she had many problems and no answers. I encouraged her to seek God on these issues.  However when I would speak to her later, she was still in the same predicament with no answers. I realized then that I needed to sever this relationship as it was affecting me in a negative way. I believe that God showed me to continue in this relationship would be detrimental to me. I felt so much better when I obeyed God and released myself from this situation. God is in charge! It reminded me of Joan and her cousin Jeannie concerning her loneliness at night since her husband had died and not taking any advice from Joan on how to seek God’s help. It’s so great to know God is there for us always and helps us and wants the best for us.

When my husband and I were looking for a new stove, he really wanted a certain kind of stove top, which I have never had and felt I would be very uncomfortable using. I explained to him why I didn’t want this kind, but he still held to us getting it. I knew I shouldn’t strive with him and just thought I would have to accept whatever he wanted.

 

But after awhile I was reminded that I hadn’t prayed about it. So I asked God, that if it was alright for us to get the kind of stovetop I wanted, would HE please change Joe’s mind and let him be okay with us getting it. 

 

Later we were sitting by the stoves, waiting for the clerk to come back with some information about one or more of them, and Joe said something like, "You know, since we won’t be living at our house long (so he thought), I guess it would be okay to get the kind of stovetop you want."

 

I was thrilled. We did get the one I wanted and he seemed to like it. We have lived in the same house and have had that stove now for close to 10 years and it’s worked well.

Once in a while you hear people say "Those were the good old days" 

 

Philippians 3:13-14   Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those thing which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 

 

Every day is a good day in Christ Jesus.

CHURCH GATHERING 

IN COLORADO SPRINGS:  

July 22-26, 2024

We would love to have you join us!

We are going to try to conduct these meetings as Paul said to do when we gather as the church:

I Corinthians 14:26  How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm (prayer), hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

We will depend on God to draw ( out of each of us edifying things to help the church see God.  We will depend on God to give each individual what he or she needs.  We believe God will increase our faith in HIM by the words brought forth by individuals who attend.  No messages will be pre-planned.  We will trust God to bring forth what HE wants us to hear through one another as the Holy Spirit, Who is in us, reminds individuals of scripture or stories of that which God has done in their lives and they share those things with the group.  This is what the gathering of the church was supposed to be!

I Corinthians 14:31   For ye may all prophesy (share) one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

This should be very exciting!  (And it should end up being led by God and therefore what God wants us to hear!)

And in the Bible, Jesus says to us:

Matthew 18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in MY name, there am I in the midst of them.

(Physical and emotional healings should take place with Jesus there in the midst of us!  We should also be greatly strengthened for the end-time events that are to come upon this present earth.)

Some might be born again and changed for ever.

And each of us should be strengthened in God.

And it will be fun to just be together..and it is very beautiful here...and cool! (1 moved here from Texas. I've been here 5 years so I really appreciate the climate and especially the Rocky Mountains!)

We will pick you up in Denver if you fly.

 Milage: 71 miles, (approximately 50 miles to north side where we live)

Or you can fly to Colorado Springs.

By next week we hope to name convention hotel and announce some reduced rates for our group. 

(We will take an early head count in mid February...watch for it in blog!)
