Are you old enough to remember the TV show the courtship of Eddies Father?
Ahh you missed it it was a very cute show about a Father and Son.
I Think about parts of it’s theme song and how they compare to the wonderful relationship between God and I, only I’m His daughter. Lol.
It goes like this:
People let me tell you ’bout my best friend
He’s a warm hearted person who’ll love me ’til the end
People let me tell you bout my best friend
He’s a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy
People let me tell you ’bout him he’s so much fun
Whether we’re talkin’ man to man or whether we’re talking son to son
‘Cause he’s my best friend
Yes he’s my best friend
Well if I had been a boy these lyrics would have been just right for me. But He loves His daughters equally. And by the way, He wants that kind of relationship with you today. Come on give your heart to Jesus and become the Father’s one joy cuddly toy.
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD has appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you
Don’t let your mind take the front seat and say over and over to you nothing has happened, things are still the same, you have to start over no progress have you gained. Remember the root system of any tree, goes down deep before through the ground in can bee seen. (This word is for everyone who reads). Cast those thoughts down, and press the right images in. Then only speak inline with them. Don’t allow the carnal mind to rise to ascendency again.
Romans 8,6-8
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Listen, you’ve got the goods. Everything the Lord stands for is wrapped up in your witness. He’s moving you by your Faith into some of the darkest spaces not to put pressure on your resolved, ( that’s a word for some), but so your expression of the Gospel can be seen, and wow, you are going to see many turn to Christ, through the remedy of your light shining for God in the darkest of night.
Matthew 4:16
the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
The Bible speaks of “Waters,” as being symbolic of people. You can read a passage that speaks of one rising out of the sea. Meaning one emerging from the masses of people. When the waters are stirred up, there can come forth one who is moved on the winds of great violence. ( Hear me, strife stirs up the waters, thus giving the enemy an opportunity to cause one to arise with darkness in his or her eyes.) But when prayer goeth forth from a heart, or hearts that have purified themselves in the love of God, then God is able, let me say that again, then God is able, to calm the swirling waters and hold His hand over the land, that would have experienced Great atrocities, would it not have been for these, who enforced the covenant of love while staying on their knees.
Rev 13:1
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name…….
Daniel 7:2-8
2Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
5“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
6“After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking [c]pompous words.
There are all kinds of clouds. The cirrus clouds that are light a and wispy. There are the stratus clouds. They look like thin, white sheets covering the whole sky. Since they are so thin, they seldom produce much rain or snow. Then there are Cumulus clouds. These clouds look like fluffy, white cotton balls in the sky. They are beautiful in sunsets, and their varying sizes and shapes can make them fun to observe! Of course we can’t forget about Cumulonimbus clouds. They are classic “thunderstorm clouds” and are large towering clouds that are often dark in color. Seeing them is a sign that a storm is likely brewing.
However I want to talk about a different type of cloud. It’s a cloud of goodness. When it rolls in, healing and miracles are showered down on men. As worship and expectancy continually arise, and every one has their focus on Christ, there are miracles of every sort. Is there a limb crippled, is a leg too short? Miracles descend upon the waiting masses, and all are filled with wonder and amazement. Men begin to sing out loud, that God is present in the “Glory Cloud.”
Ezekiel 10:4
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’S glory.
2 Chronicles 5:14
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God
1 Kings 8:7
so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD
We shall behold him face to face. It’s coming up. Get ready for it. He’s more excited then we are. But some of us are pretty excited. Won’t that be a grand time? I’ll say. So prepare, prepare, prepare, your heart. For you shall step right up before Him, and because you received His Son Jesus, you will never depart. He’ll be glad to talk to you and thank you for how you loved your brother and how you endeavored to keep the unity of the faith amongst one another. Ohh it will be a glorious time, because you kept him on your mind.
“I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. job 42:5h
29 Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10 The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever.
11 The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
Sometimes, the estimation of what others see in you, can cripple you from reaching out to receive your salvation, receive, your healing, receive your forgiveness from the Lord. Please listen carefully to what Jesus says on this subject:
The Parable of the Two Debtors
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee;
……and my servant shall be healed. (Matt. 8:8 ) What confidence, what a encouragement to the soul of our Lord and Savior. Did you know that you can encourage Him as well? Sure you can. Just dig your heels into the word and refuse to be moved. That’s it, not only will the Lord’s word work on your behalf, the Lord will marvel at your faith.
Luke 7:9
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel
