In the THICK of BATTLE

 

Ephesians 6:12-13

King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, 

against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, 

and having done all, 

to stand.

This workman is deep in battle.

There's much happening in the spirit world.

The very reason for our non-stop blogs, and posts.

I've come back, to regroup, and to remind myself, of the basis for my work as writer warrior.

There is great urgency we turn to GOD now.

Before we return to battle, I best remind myself of the FOUNDATION for the work I do.

Except a man be born again,

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

lest his deeds should be reproved.

MINISTRY of HUMILITY

 

James 4:10

King James Version

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, 

and he shall lift you up.

How to be an effective worker for GOD?

We, born again workers for GOD, must aim to be humble.

For all GLORY belongs to GOD alone.

As taught us, through the ministry of JESUS.

2 Corinthians 4:5

King James Version

5 For we preach not ourselves, 

but Christ Jesus the Lord; 

and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

2 Corinthians 4:6

King James Version

6 For God, 

who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, 

hath shined in our hearts, 

to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God 

in the face of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:7

King James Version

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, 

that the excellency of the power may be of God, 

and not of us.

Our LORD came into the humblest existence.

Isaiah 53

King James Version

53 Who hath believed our report? 

and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, 

and as a root out of a dry ground: 

he hath no form nor comeliness; 

and when we shall see him, 

there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; 

a man of sorrows, 

and acquainted with grief: 

and we hid as it were our faces from him; 

he was despised, 

and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, 

and carried our sorrows: 

yet we did esteem him stricken, 

smitten of God, 

and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, 

he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him;

 and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; 

we have turned every one to his own way; 

and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: 

and who shall declare his generation? 

for he was cut off out of the land of the living: 

for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, 

and with the rich in his death; 

because he had done no violence, 

neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; 

he hath put him to grief: 

when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, 

he shall see his seed, 

he shall prolong his days, 

and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, 

and shall be satisfied: 

by his knowledge 

shall my righteous servant justify many; 

for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, 

and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; 

because he hath poured out his soul unto death: 

and he was numbered with the transgressors; 

and he bare the sin of many, 

and made intercession for the transgressors.

Why, then should we be anything else?

1 Timothy 6:7

King James Version

7 For we brought nothing into this world, 

and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

SPIRIT makes writing FUN

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Perhaps, it's how GOD created me to be.

That even as I share GOD's WORD with you, my heart gets playful with Him.

He did give me the gift of words.

So, when I told a friend my writing is for GOD's purpose, right away, SPIRIT alerted me to another word.

"Porpoise".

So, I check with Merriam-Webster.

True enough, purpose, and porpoise, sound alike.

You see, that's how it is to work with the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

We have many fun moments of creating exciting blogs, writing Scripture-filled articles, playing with TONS of words, and sharing life-changing verses.

I am not afraid to be playful, with GOD.

JESUS loves kids.

Even an overgrown kid, like myself.

Look how His disciples treated children who were brought to Him:

Matthew 19:13

King James Version

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, 

that he should put his hands on them, 

and pray: 

and the disciples rebuked them.

LOOK how the LORD treats the children:

Matthew 19:14-15

King James Version

14 But Jesus said, 

Suffer little children, 

and forbid them not, 

to come unto me: 

for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid his hands on them, 

and departed thence.

The little kid in me, cannot ever be flushed out.

My heart just dances with JOY, when I think of the TRIUNE GOD.

I look upon GOD, as my father.

The FATHER of ALL FATHERS.

I fear Him.

But I respect Him.

I ask about things I don't understand.

And He leads me to Scripture, and bingo!

An answer can be found in Scripture right away.

I always feel like I've hit a JACKPOT!

That's when I write the article He guides me to write.

I share the verses SPIRIT guided me to share with you.

Everything becomes a clear, cohesive whole.

With GREAT fun, in the process.

There's no end to our creativity.

Especially because the Bible is filled with MAGNIFICENT treasures.

There's so much to write about.

Being born again, has so many blessings.

Being taught by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD is priceless.

You will be at your nicest, most creative, and porpoiseful best.

Can you feel GOD smiling?

I sure do!

P.S. Just so you know, I had no idea the difference between dolphins, and propoises. So, I checked. It's always fun learning something new each day.

NOT born to ignore

 

GOD said:

Isaiah 42:16

King James Version

16 And I will bring the blind by a way 

that they knew not; 

I will lead them in paths that they have not known: 

I will make darkness light before them, 

and crooked things straight. 

These things will I do unto them, 

and not forsake them.

It's so very easy to just walk a normal path.

To go about as the world wants me to.

To go about my own plans, and ambitions.

Sure, I've had some moderate success in the past, in most fields I took.

But somehow, I'd put brakes on such.

There was a built-in brake that stopped me from going full force in the world

To buy into everything the world offered.

And to offer you what the world was offering.

I'd always stop, and review, if I was doing the right thing.

And that I wasn't selling my soul, just for success.

That wasn't attractive, at all.

Success in the world, always called for a price.

Only because it serves a different god.

I couldn't succumb.

I could NEVER sacrifice my family for such.

I wanted to be able to see them often, and have time for them.

As a child, I'd pay attention to everything.

I'd always look to what society would call the "underdogs".

As if people should be called that at all.

We are not "hackable animals" as one scientist call us.

My heart went out to people with what society calls "disabilities".

Then, GOD gave me such a family member to look after, and I knew first hand how it is to care for such a precious soul.

What a WONDERFUL GIFT from HEAVEN!

To have been given an opportunity to do so!

This precious child taught me much.

How to love.

How to care.

How to listen.

How to detect their needs, if they can't speak.

How to give of yourself, with no thought of return.

My little teacher was a wonderful gift from GOD.

And then GOD made me born again 33 months ago.

I began to understand even better.

The HOLY SPIRIT started teaching me.

Now, I knew why my heart was closest to people who can't care for themselves, those who are set aside, those who are forgotten.

They were truly GOD's gift.

For us to LOVE.

Then GOD made use of the original gift He gave me.

To write.

And now, I can write about it.

I can write about the forgotten ones.

I can write what GOD wants, from Scripture.

I was called to tell you that the time is at hand.

That the LORD JESUS call us to repent.

That He wants us born again.

That He came to the world to save us from our sins.

That He will have His faithful meet Him up in the air, ANY moment GOD chooses.

That there will be a seven-year period of extreme, unbearable hardship, for all left behind.

How can I not tell you about all these?

How can I keep ALL that to myself?

Thus, I write.

Because I care for you.

And I serve the LORD.

It is the work given me, in a materialistic world.

In a world that serves the enemy.

Whose purpose is that EVERYONE perish.

But GOD doesn't want us to perish.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

So, I write, to warn.

May your heart to be open, to the TRUTH of the LORD.

Let us all have CHRIST dwell in our hearts.

Ephesians 3:17-19

King James Version

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; 

that ye, 

being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints 

what is the breadth, 

and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, 

which passeth knowledge, 

that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

SECRET to PRODUCTIVITY

 

John 7:37

King James Version

37 In the last day, 

that great day of the feast, 

Jesus stood and cried, 

saying, 

If any man thirst, 

let him come unto me, 

and drink.

It's so very true.

Being born again, loving GOD, believing in JESUS, listening to the HOLY SPIRIT makes one fruitful.

Expect to be prolific when you serve GOD.

JESUS did say:

John 7:38

King James Version

38 He that believeth on me, 

as the scripture hath said, 

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

And He was referring to SPIRIT.

John 7:39

King James Version

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, 

which they that believe on him should receive: 

for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; 

because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

JESUS had to go back to the FATHER, that the HOLY SPIRIT be gifted us.

John 16:7

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, 

I will send him unto you.

Only through the HOLY SPIRIT can we become fruitful.

Thus, the FRUITS of the SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 

longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: 

against such there is no law.

When the SPIRIT of GOD is in you -- as born again -- expect many blessings, from the boundlessness of GOD's HEART.

Expect your life to blossom in CHRIST.

Expect your work to be pleasing to GOD.

Expect ego to be gone.

Expect service to be the order of the day.

Expect joy, in serving.

Expect boundless creativity.

Expect true fellowship with JESUS.

Expect peace, love, joy, and clarity.

Expect contentment.

And great excitement.

At the stuff you and SPIRIT can do.

Which truly serves man.

And pleases GOD.

Our life would have been worthwhile.

O Lord, 

with my whole heart; 

I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: 

I will sing praise to thy name, 

O thou most High.

GOD loves a grateful heart.

And even if He didn't, I'd say thank you, anyway.

For the family given.

For loving me, enough to save me.

For the gift of writing.

For having made me born again.

For giving us JESUS.

For gifting me with the HOLY SPIRIT.

For TONS of inspiration.

For gifting me with readers, all around the world.

For making Scripture plain, to an initially intimidated student.

For bringing my work to the world.

For taking away all unfounded fears.

For creating peace and calm in me.

For loving me, as a FATHER would.

For being so patient with me.

For creating in me a childlike heart that understands His MYSTERIES.

For showing me prophetic dreams, giving me signs, knowing I'd pay attention.

For giving me the GIFT of WORDS, knowing one day, I'd only care to know His WORD.

For helping me understand the SECRET of WORDS.

For helping me keep the faith.

For giving me a heart that understood Him.

For giving me a mind that loves to learn His TRUTH alone.

For giving the GIFT of DISCERNMENT.

For teaching me the consequences of sin, and disobedience to His laws.

For being patient, till I got things right.

For being the PERFECT TIMING in my life.

For never giving up on me.

Though, in truth, I never thought He would.

For I just kept going.

Wanting to know His TRUTH.

Till I got it right.

This blog signifies I finally did.

Keep reading, for God and I are just warming up!

The TALE of 2 TREES

 

JESUS declares:

Matthew 7:17

King James Version

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; 

but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Funny thing, how SPIRIT works with this writer.

First, we review a 2021 article we wrote:

The UPROOTING of FALSE doctrine

Next thing you know, He reminds me of a related 2022 one:

The tree GOD hates

Oh, that's right!

So we include both here.

Just so you know:

GOD has many wonderful things to say.

REAL stuff we must know.

That we get His WORD right.

And His commandments precisely.

I am not a tree.

I move out of GOD's way.

WRITE to WARN

 

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm forever grateful to GOD, for making me born again.

If He had not, where would I be?

I wouldn't understand the Bible easily.

I wouldn't know the laws of GOD.

I wouldn't know things to come.

I wouldn't know what to tell you.

But because His SPIRIT is guiding me each moment, I'm able to do the task God destined me for:

To write about His laws,

and warn you that the time is at hand.

Time to WAKE up!

On and on, SPIRIT and I keep sharing what JESUS said:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Scoffers and unbelievers would mock:

"Yeah, but that's 2,000 years ago."

"Where, where is the Lord's coming?"

"Why hasn't it happened yet?"

To which, we quote Scripture:

2 Peter 3:8

King James Version

8 But, beloved, 

be not ignorant of this one thing, 

that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day.

Despite the cacophony in the world, His sheep hear His voice.

John 10:27

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, 

and they follow me:

JESUS promises us:

John 10:28

King James Version

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

We are saved by our FAITH in JESUS, through the GRACE given us -- not by works.

Ephesians 2:8-9

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: 

it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, 

lest any man should boast.

When the day comes, JESUS asks:

Luke 18:8

King James Version

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. 

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, 

shall he find faith on the earth?

That's why I write, and warn.

I watch, and wait.

Every single moment.

Matthew 24:42

King James Version

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

It's wonderful knowing SCRIPTURE

 

Psalm 34:8

King James Version

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: 

blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Was about to sleep, but prayed first.

Whadyaknow.

Soon as I mentioned how wonderful it is to know Scripture, of course, the challenge was presented.

"Oh yeah?"

"Why do you LOVE My WORD?"

Forgive me for my playful tone with GOD.

I'm a five-year-old at heart, communicating that way with GOD.

Always.

Still, GOD wanted me to write, and tell you, why it's wonderful knowing Scripture.

What to do?

Jump out of bed, and write.

I did say SPIRIT inspires me all the time.

So, why is it wonderful knowing SCRIPTURE?

-- I love learning from God.

-- I love being corrected.

-- I love knowing His will.

-- I love getting things right.

-- I love sharing with you what I've come to know.

That being that, I suppose I can sleep now.

Unless, another idea pops in, as I continue my prayers.

There was a time I did that.

Got up twice, for SPIRIT.

Who am I to resist His AWESOME prompts, and ideas?

I can't have done 39 blogs and 24 books, unless He thought it a good idea.

But I better share this with you now.

As I'm all excited to do so.
