Can you discern the time?

There is a time for everything, and everything on earth has its special season. There is a time to be born and a time to die. There is a time to plant and a time to pull up plants. There is a time to kill and a time to heal. There is a time to destroy and a time to build. Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 (NCV)

How about you? How is your strength?

Blessed are those who find strength in you. Their hearts are on the road {that leads to you}. As they pass through a valley where balsam trees grow, they make it a place of springs. The early rains cover it with blessings. Their strength grows as they go along until each one of them appears in front of God in Zion. Psalm 84:5-7 (GW)

a graduating

In this time of inner turmoil I have again been finding coins. They are among other things, markers for me. They point that God is still active around me. Yesterday I was guided to walk a different pathway I was going to take. As I made that initial adjustment I saw a coin. It was a penny there in front of me. I picked up that dirty penny, thanked God and placed it in my pocket. Today I brought it out of my pocket and checked the date. It was 1970, the year of my graduation. Perhaps I am about to embark in a new time.

your covering

Do not allow fear to guide you, I am your covering. Walk with me and run not ahead of me and I will continue to show you the way. Stay beneath my shadow of covering. Do not stray from protection. Do not willingly walk from my walls or ways. Turn your face toward me. You do nor need be ashamed. Ask for forgiveness and receive. Return to my way. Come back to what I have for you. I have not left you. I have not removed your purpose in my kingdom. I have not changed my heart for you. I am your covering. Do not allow fear of self or others or situations to affect you. I AM.

His Word and Way

My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow. It will not come back to me without results. It will accomplish whatever I want and achieve whatever I send it to do.” Isaiah 55:11 (GW)

What say you?

What do you say? I’m of the opinion no one really reads blog entries. They are often written for the author and are but senseless drivel. What say you?   Do you really read/follow blog entries?

guidelines

Timothy, my child, I'm giving you this order about the prophecies that are still coming to you: Use these prophecies in faith and with a clear conscience to fight this noble war. Some have refused to let their faith guide their conscience and their faith has been destroyed like a wrecked ship. 1 Timothy 1:18-19 (GW)

hope for the future

Your future is filled with hope, declares the LORD. Your children will return to their own territory. Jeremiah 31:17 (GW)

a view of Pentecost

Suddenly a noise like a strong, blowing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw something like flames of fire that were separated and stood over each person there. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languages by the power the Holy Spirit was giving them. Acts 2:2-4 (NCV)

of the LORD

The teachings of the LORD are perfect. They renew the soul. The testimony of the LORD is dependable. It makes gullible people wise. The instructions of the LORD are correct. They make the heart rejoice. The command of the LORD is radiant. It makes the eyes shine. The fear of the LORD is pure. It endures forever. The decisions of the LORD are true. They are completely fair. Psalm 19:7-9 (GW)

God is light

We are telling you what we have seen and heard, so that you may share in this life with us. And we share in it with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. We are writing to tell you these things, because this makes us truly happy. Jesus told us that God is light and doesn't have any darkness in him. Now we are telling you.  1 John 1:3-5 (CEV)

where are you walking?

Late in the afternoon a breeze began to blow, and the man and woman heard the LORD God walking in the garden. They were frightened and hid behind some trees. The LORD called out to the man and asked, "Where are you?" The man answered, "I was naked, and when I heard you walking through the garden, I was frightened and hid!" "How did you know you were naked?" God asked. "Did you eat any fruit from that tree in the middle of the garden?" Genesis 3:8-11 (CEV)

drink deeply…

With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation! Isaiah 12:3 (NLT)

written in heaven

But you should not be happy because the spirits obey you but because your names are written in heaven.“ Luke 10:20 (NCV) You can live without fear. Your voice is far expanded. There is a way lit for you which others can not see. There is provision for you in times of need. Because your names are written in heaven you have have access to all that is mine.

with Jesus in the middle

So then, because of them, he handed Him over to be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus away. Carrying His own cross, He went out to what is called Skull Place, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha . There they crucified Him and two others with Him, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. John 19:16-18 (HCSB)

do not be silent…

As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed asked if he could go with him. But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you.” So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed. Mark 5:18-20 (NET)

Acknowledge the Lord

Acknowledge the majesty of the LORD’s reputation! Worship the LORD in holy attire! The LORD’s shout is heard over the water; the majestic God thunders, the LORD appears over the surging water. The LORD’s shout is powerful, the LORD’s shout is majestic. The LORD’s shout breaks the cedars, the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.  Psalm 29:2-5 (NET)

John’s scene in heaven

Immediately I was in the Spirit, and a throne was standing in heaven with someone seated on it! And the one seated on it was like jasper and carnelian in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emerald encircled the throne. In a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns on their heads. From the throne came out flashes of lightning and roaring and crashes of thunder. Seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God, were burning in front of the throne and in front of the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal. In the middle of the throne and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. Revelation 4:2-6 (NET)

teaching from the temple

The person who speaks on his own authority desires to receive honor for himself; the one who desires the honor of the one who sent him is a man of integrity, and there is no unrighteousness in him. John 7:18 (NET)

THE Return

(Look! He is returning with the clouds , and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him , and all the tribes on the earth will mourn because of him. This will certainly come to pass! Amen.) Revelation 1:7 (NET)

perceptions are trained by practice

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 (NKJV)

222

My God, I call to you during the day, but you do not answer. I call at night; I am not silent. Psalm 22:2 (NCV)

how is your memory?

If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god, would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. Psalm 44:20-21 (NRSV)
