22 FLAGSHIP verses

 

Matthew 16:24-26

King James Version

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, 

If any man will come after me, 

let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross, 

and follow me.

How has GOD influenced the work you do?

What path did He take you to?

This was the path given me.

First, He made me born again.

Second, SPIRIT gave me sets of verses.

Not in one shot, but as we went along.

Verses that resonated with my heart.

Serving as my everyday compass.

That we may set sail, under the flagship of JESUS.

These 22 guide the work I do each day.

Arranged according to when it was given.

Genesis 1:1-3

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void;

Let there be light: 

and there was light.

the gospel which I preached unto you, 

which also ye have received,

if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, 

unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all

shall be caught up together with them 

in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

that is, the devil;

John 1:1-5

King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any thing made 

that was made.

and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:14

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

for they shall see God.

1 Corinthians 2:1-2

King James Version

when I came to you, 

came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom,

save Jesus Christ, 

and him crucified.

Amen.

and renew a right spirit within me.

and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; 

and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Colossians 2:8-18

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head of all principality and power:

11 In whom also ye are circumcised 

with the circumcision made without hands, 

in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh 

by the circumcision of Christ:

12 Buried with him in baptism, 

wherein also ye are risen with him 

through the faith of the operation of God, 

who hath raised him from the dead.

13 And you, 

being dead in your sins 

and the uncircumcision of your flesh, 

hath he quickened together with him, 

having forgiven you all trespasses;

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances 

that was against us, 

which was contrary to us, 

and took it out of the way, 

nailing it to his cross;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, 

he made a shew of them openly, 

triumphing over them in it.

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, 

or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, 

or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

17 Which are a shadow of things to come; 

but the body is of Christ.

18 Let no man beguile you of your reward 

in a voluntary humility 

and worshipping of angels, 

intruding into those things which he hath not seen, 

vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Third part?

I just began writing.

Only by the GRACE of GOD

 

2 Timothy 1:8-9

King James Version

8 Be not thou therefore ashamed 

of the testimony of our Lord, 

nor of me his prisoner: 

but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel 

according to the power of God;

9 Who hath saved us, 

and called us with an holy calling, 

not according to our works, 

but according to his own purpose and grace, 

which was given us in Christ Jesus 

before the world began,

It is only by the GRACE of GOD I'm still here writing.

Grateful I'm able to share the gospel with you.

At any given moment, at a moment decided by GOD, all could be gone.

JESUS alerted me about that on 14 January 2020.

Matthew 24:40

King James Version

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

But my faith is in the LORD.

My times are in His hand.

All go according to His plan.

All, according to His will.

That was made very clear in Scripture.

Let us, therefore, thank GOD for each day.

For all the blessings, the gifts, the grace, the love.

Do everything for the LORD.

1 Corinthians 10:31

King James Version

31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, 

or whatsoever ye do, 

do all to the glory of God.

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.

lest his deeds should be reproved.

King James Version

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.
