Are you on your Damascus Road?

Acts 26 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁵ “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ¹⁶ ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. ¹⁷ I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them ¹⁸ to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’”

Are you on your Damascus Road?  Goals set and tasks at hand Paul and his companions were on their way to persecute a number of Christians.  Not knowing that Paul now was traveling into a destination of change.  A Pharisee with his mind made up against these Christians talking about the risen Christ.  He would purge them from this earth.

A supernatural encounter occurs, a bright light, lighter than the sun engulfs Paul and his companions pushing them to the ground.  In this light Paul hears a voice speaking to him in Aramaic, saying: ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

Paul hears the voice stating that it is Jesus and Jesus now has appointed Paul as a servant and as a witness of what he has seen and will see of the LORD Jesus.

God sure does have a different perspective on life and He does come into our lives so differently.  It is my desire that the LORD will touch my life with His spirit and open my eyes to the Word of God.  Helping me to understand more and grow more but most of all so that I am able to become more like Jesus.  

I want to be a vessel the Lord God is able to use as I don’t feel that I have the required skills and knowledge.  I feel that I let the Lord down constantly.

The Love of God

1 John 4:9Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁹ In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or ^[a]unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him.

Lord Almighty God, of Israel as I think on this verse today, I want to pray for the full revelation and understanding that You sent Your only begotten or unique Son – Jesus Christ to die for my sins.  I believe that I have been saved and that I am going to heaven and I understand the costs involved.  I want to pray for a decrement in my own life revealing to me what my purpose in this world is. 

Lord of Israel help me also be loving and kind, fill my heart and mind Lord with Your Holy Spirit so that I am able to move forward and keep the word of God in my own life.  Like fire and help me radiate it to all around me.

The clock is ticking

Acts 17:26Amplified Bible (AMP)

²⁶ And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes),

The Lord of Israel our God made us all in the image of Himself, Adam was our forefather.  Looking at my reflecting in the mirror at times I realize my hair is going grey, my skin isn’t as lovely as it used to be.  God allotted a certain amount of time for me to live my life on this earth.  How I wanted to live was totally up to me, I decided to get married and with God’s blessings have three beautiful children and two beautiful grandchildren.

Then life happened and the hardening of my heart took place I divorced my husband and moved on in my life.  Then I met someone really stunning, a man really precious and kind and most of very loving.

The best of all is time is moving so fast, I realized today, I was in July and thinking about where I am right now it’s almost my birthday in November.  Gosh the clock is ticking and time is flying, I feel like I don’t have enough time to do all the things I am supposed to.

My thoughts are am I in God’s perfect will?  Am I in God’s permissive will?  Where am I in God’s will?  

I really want to know, Lord God please show me.

Submission to Governing Authorities

Romans 13:1New International Version (NIV)

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 

Listening to the kids talk about their teachers and friends it struck me that today's children do not respect people in authority.  I also notice the way they address me and the way they speak to me.  I wonder what their futures will look like going forward.  It seems to submit to people in authority means that you are weak and have no ‘back bone’ according to what I hear.

Going forward it is my heart’s desire to be submissive to people in authority and to work as though I am working for the Lord and not for people.  Always going the extra mile, continually working hard and making my work the best there is.  Perhaps by leading by example people will change their perspective on life.

Prayer:  Abba Father humbly I submit my life into Your hands and pray for guidance, asking that You will help me be submissive to authority and realise Your hand is over each one of us.  Guide us as we go through this day in Jesus Holy name.  Amen

What Will love Be Like in 100 Years?

When I look at today’s people I do wonder if there will be love in this world in 100 years from today and I do believe that we will still see love on this earth.

God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow and let’s be honest God is love.  I have always maintained that love is not a feeling but an act of your heart.

People will probably be techno geniuses and they will do all kinds of interesting things, but love will never change, our hearts will always be in the right place.

Women are always going to be beautiful and I believe mothers that will love their children.

I can see people walking hand in hand laughing and looking after their children.  They will want the best for their children.  

Love will endure whatever comes its way, because love is kind, unforgiving, compassionate, friendly, passionate and available to help you always.  Even in a 1 000 years love will endure and stay forever.  Jesus so loved the world that He died for our sins and arose and sits on the right hand of the LORD Almighty God.
