PRAYER



"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Psa 16:11

Last night at prayer "just telling the truth" it felt like no matter how I would pray, the roof seemed 2 feet high and my prayers would bounce back right at me. Now this is not unheard of, so after checking myself, I just continued to pray. That is when the Lord gave me this scripture and after praying this verse it was like night and day, the thought hit me:PRESENCE.

Presence-face,person,the neighborhood of one of superior especially royal rank(Webster's)

Now seeing these meanings behind "presence" though not in its completion, lets just say in his presence, you and I "behold" the very person yea the very face of superior royalty which is THE LORD JESUS CHRIST himself . Now if you are the superior rank in your life you will never be able to enter into his presence nor will you ever be able to know the savior as he is, therefore it goes without saying that you will never see him face to face(with a pleasant outcome). This is just an 8 minute thought there is so very much more to say about this prayer business.

Not the same 1



It is very tiring to hear about charismatic charlatans. For personal gain they deceive and just destroy truth, all because their agenda is themselves. They can't make truth obsolete. In the hearts and minds of people that are looking for help in a troubled and scary world, these wolves in sheep's clothing literally, with a smile on their face, consume the very hope, and trample the trust others put in them. This comes from being in prayer and having GOD whisper to me "the difference between SHOW and Demonstration". Benny Hinn is the perfect example of what I'm talking about, this fraud has been revealed openly and still he operates in the realm, in league, with the devil and still people flock to him. What we need so desperately in this hour, is to really realize that not only does the true church have to contend with this world but these that have "crept in unaware" Jud 1:4. O GOD we need the moving of your spirit, WE have to have the gifts of the spirit in full opperation ammong us.

THE FALL



For 1000 year's Constantinople stood as the jewel of Christianity and also as the last stronghold that held Islam out of Europe. While many attempts were made to breach it's walls, the integrity of it's walls and the Spirit of residence to a foreign force was strong. Then there came a time of unrest amongst the orthodox and unionist of the Catholic church. The unionist had the power of Rome behind their undertaking or to say movement. Because the orthodox did not buy into the idea of the pope being GOD'S infallible mouth piece. This fighting inside the city caused a sultan named Mehmet to take notice and decide to attack Constantinople. History records that the siege of 1453 was the most notable, fierce assault ever recorded. Without reciting the entire story, Constantinople fell and history also tells us that even after two vicious attacks and over 42 days of siege, the over all integrity of the city held. Record keepers in the camp of Mehmet tell history that the sultan would only attempt 1 more time to sac the great city. There were two reasons that the prized "red apple" of the west, fell. First in a hurried rush one of the cities gates were left open, in which the enemy took full advantage of. Second the leader of the defenders was wounded and taken away from the front lines. Without leadership the soldiers started leaving the stand they took. This lead to the enemy being able to scale the walls unopposed and in moments took hold of the city.

figure it out

On 16 June 1858 Abraham Lincoln gave his immortal HOUSE DIVIDED speech, Which is derived from "Matt.12:25" which states "Ever kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself cannot stand". Of course we understand that this discourse is referring to slavery, But what does it say to you and I in 2008?

OTHER'S

I won't be able to write everything that I would like to say because it would be just to long, but I would like to talk to the other's. (Heb.11:33-38)speaks of those who by faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, and many more feats just as awesome were preformed. The bible also talks about the other's that had to suffer trails of mocking, chains, imprisonment, stoned to death, sawn into, they went around dressed in skins of sheep, and goats the bible says UTTERLY destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated.

Now we got it pretty good in So.Cal ain't nobody that I know of been sawn into because of their faith lately, but I know all to well that the devil would have us believe that our lot in life is just so bad. Now even if you feel like one of the other's the bible says that they won divine approval, and goes on to say that the world was not worthy of them. So even if you might feel like one of the other's, HOLD ON, theirs a crown at the end of this road. Y.F.T

Great minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, Small minds discuss people. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

Uncovering

How you approach anything whether it be handling of bills, raising of children or whatever it may be it's imperative that we approach it the right way.(way of handling, method of attack, attitude, method, procedure, technique) these are but a few ways to explain what I mean when I write about approach "An unhealthy approach to the handling of a problem is trying to fix symptoms in hope that it will right whats wrong. A healthy approach is discerning what the problem is!!! Then FIXING the problem instead of aggravating ourselves because we spend all our time playing with symptoms in hopes that doing so will miraculously solve the problem. Y.F.T (your fellow traveler)

Love


In the book of James, he makes a warning unto those that would fall into the trap of the devil when he talks about having partiality among people. If you have "respect of persons", you commit sin, and are convicted of the law as a transgressor. Now we all know that we no longer live under the legalistic Mosaic law so what is this law that we would be convicted as a transgressor? IT'S the law of love have we ever heard this? "Having ye love one for another". Friend it's just human nature to have more things in common with some, verses others, BUT fearing the word of GOD I never would want to walk around with a better than you, having a respect of person spirit on me that will send my soul to an eternal hell. The reason for this blog is simply to release a burden that the LORD put in my heart because there is a great evil in the land and it's having partiality among us. May the Lord of heaven bless you, your fellow traveler.

The reason


"It is good to have an end to journey towards, But it is the journey that matters in the end"-Ursula K. Leguin

Everyone of you, out there, are on a journey whether you realize it or not. The bible says that the days of man are few so it really matters how we travel this path. When I was in the service, a common phrase was used "expect the worst, hope for the best" As I get older looking on this phrase, I can agree with hoping for the best but I feel that we will do ourselves a grave injustice if we go through life just expecting "THE WORST" but I'm afraid that is exactly what a lot of people do. If you have the holy spirlt of the almighty GOD inside you there is no reason to expect the worst "HE cares for the sparrow" is that not what the word says? How much more do you think HE cares for you. So lift up your eyes toward your help "Just a thought to share with fellow travelers"

Think about it...

The saying goes "Friends don't let friends drive drunk", because everyone knows that driving under the influence causes harm to them and innocent bystanders. I believe strongly that the same sentiment should hold true even more with fellow brothers of like faith. The bible says that "Jesus Wept" when he came to the city of Jerusalem, knowing the condition of the people inside. Compassion, is what lead our savior to weep over the city. What an example for us to have gotten from our Lord. All you have to do is read the newspaper once weekly or listen to a commentary on the radio, you'll see real fast the shape this world is in. On every hand there seems that there is no such thing as compassion anymore. Family members killing, family members, selfishness running ramped everywhere you look. If there is anyplace were compassion should be shown, it ought to be in the church. Not excluding our reasonable service to the lost.(Having love one for another is bible) Just as much as "Go ye out into all the world" Charity begins at home. There is not enough time and there is no space for being unmerciful. We only have one go around in this life, with everything that is in us, lets grab ahold of it and have compassion for one another. Brethren, do not allow brethren to hurt alone, they bear up one another.
