ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and

in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Pray about anything and everything

Pray about anything and everything but don’t share your prayer with all your friends. One (or more) may try to “help God” answer your prayers or even try to hinder God. Let most of your praying be only between you and Him. He is big enough to take care of you – Wonderfully!

Victory Cry

 

“O death where is thy sting,”

Has an un-familiar ring,

To those unprepared to die.

But to the soul now sanctified,

Walking by faith, with “the Crucified“

It’s a glorious, holy, victory cry.

Forgiving DOES NOT = forgetting

Forgive. “I can’t forgive.” Forgive. “I can’t forgive!”

Friend, I’m not saying forget. The words sound a little alike and share some same letters but are so different. You may not forget action “X” or words “Y” in this life but with God’s help you can forgive. And, as to forgetting – let me encourage you to not re-hash the problem. Said another way,

“I’m not asking you forget; I am asking you to NOT remember.

Only slight comparison

Wesley had roads and his horse to help him preach. The Lord’s provided me with internet and computer as a preaching “place.” His horse had four legs; my “horse” has the four winds. “Well! How can you use internet when it has filth on it?” Ever hear of horse racing? Wesley used a horse though many miss used them. God’s allowing me to speak truth over the net though many miss-use it. Wesley was much greater than me but allow another slight comparison; he had rotten tomatoes thrown at him, I can get a bad word “thrown” at me, as recently happened.

MORNING CAME TO STAY

 

It was evening on Golgotha,

For the second time that day.^[1]  

They had taken down a Form,

Grave-wrap’d and carried it away

Rome, its mission over,

Clattered off with cadent pride.

It was dark in old Jerusalem.

The Prince of Peace had died.

(1^st stanza of four-stanza song God gave me)

^[1] In some ways the hardest line of any poem is the first. This idea came as a new thought – two evenings in one day.

Have YOU been Born Again?

Everyone reading this has a DOB

(date of birth). And everyone will have a DOD (date of death); you have no control over either. Friend, you CAN influence your DOBA (date of being Born Again). Have you received the New Birth? Do not let it bother if you don’t remember an exact date (you only know your DOB because someone told you) IF you know you were saved and are NOW living victorious over sin. After your DOBA you also need a DODS (date of death to Self) or date you were sanctified.

When you have a DOBA and a DODS you need not worry about the when/how of your DOD.
