PREPOSITIONS........TRIALS........AND........POLISH........ www.galileebreeze.blogspot.com

PREPOSITIONS???        

DEFINiTION: Prepositions: A word in a sentence indicating its relation to a verb, or an adjective...Examples: at, in, to, by, from, with, for, of...    Example sentences: "Where did you come (from)?"/ "Where are you going (to)?"/"I Bless you (in)  the NAME (of) JESUS CHRIST!!!".

My wife Mary and I have two (2) adult daughters - both of them are    Treasures from GOD our HOLY FATHER!!!  When Katy and Carrie were very young girls (ages 6-8) - they loved to collect small stones of various shapes and colors.

During those years Mary and I bought for them an electric "Rock Tumbler".  The four (4) of us very much enjoyed placing the stones in the tumbler - then letting the rock tumbler "grind" the stones through the night. (The tumbler was so noisy...that we had to put it into a separate building - so that we could sleep through the night!).

It was always exciting the next morning to open the tumbler to see how the stones had changed!!!  The tumbling motions caused the stones to be polished, and shiny, and often beautiful colors and designs were revealed!!!  [A humorous note: "Polish" does NOT indicate people from the nation of Poland!].  "Polish" = to make a smooth, shiny surface by rubbing, tumbling, or by chemical action."

In (1 Peter 2:4-5)...We who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as our SAVIOR and LORD are described: "Coming to HIM as to a living stone, rejected by men, but Chosen by GOD and precious."

"You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to GOD through JESUS CHRIST."

"Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,                                      "Be hold, I lay in Zion a Chief Cornerstone, elect, precious...".

Most of us do experience some "rough and tumble" periods... (Polishing) times in our lives...illnesses, injuries, broken relationships, deaths of friends or relatives, loss of a job, divorce, etc.  Sometimes these experiences can lead to depression, or physical health problems, etc.

But as we more and more learn to give to GOD OUR FATHER our difficulties/crises...HE can and will "walk with us us through them...  and use those experiences to "Polish"/transform us more and more into the image of HIS SON JESUS!!!!!!!!!

"JESUS was Despised, Rejected, Forsaken, Wounded, Crushed and Crucified to save us from our sins!!!  "The punishment Necessary for us to have peace and wellbeing was put on HIM."!!!!!!!! (Isaiah 53:1-12).---

So "...as we continue to Behold  [In The WORD of GOD] as in a mirror the Glory of the LORD, are constantly being transfigured into  HIS very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the LORD (WHO) is the SPIRIT." (2 Corinthians 3:18/Amplified Bible).

OK.....What about "Prepositions"???   Hmmm Let's see how it will open up our understanding of the word "preposition" by adding ONE TINY LITTLE mark (-) to "preposition"... ****PRE-POSITION ****  GOD our HEAVENLY FATHER Pre-positioned us...

Even as [In HIS LOVE] HE chose us--- actually picked us out for HIMSELF as HIS OWN in JESUS before the foundation of the world; that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for HIM)..." (Ephesians 1:4/Amplified Bible).   **** PRE- POSITIONED ****

As we SUBMIT to HIM and ALLOW HIM to use the difficult/painful times to "Polish" us---to make us "smooth and shiny" so that HIS LIGHT (JESUS says in (John 8:12)/ "I AM THE LIGHT"---then our lives will Reflect HIS light to others!!!

"For GOD WHO said, 'Let there be Light' (Genesis 1:3),has shone in our hearts so as (to beam forth) the LIGHT for the illumination of the  knowledge of the Majesty and Glory of GOD [as it IS MANIFEST in the PERSON and is REVEALED] in the FACE of JESUS CHRIST the MESSIAH." (2 Corinthians 4:6/Amplified Bible).

"Then those who live in AWE OF THE LORD talked often one to another; and the LORD listened and heard it and a book of remembrance was written before HIM of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the LORD and who thought on HIS Name. "

"And they shall be MINE, says the LORD of HOSTS, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be MY jewels  (MY special possession, MY Treasure).  And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him." (Malachi 3:16-17/Amplified Bible).  

YES!!! We EACH and ALL were PRE-positioned as HIS-IN-JESUS!!!!!!!!  Let us EACH and ALL submit to FATHER GOD'S        Polishing of us...so that HIS LIGHT will shine forth to point others to JESUS!!!!!!!!!  (2 Corinthians 4:6/Amplified Bible/Isaiah 33:17).

  

GOD'S BREATH OF LIFE......RENEWING OUR LIFE AND MIND!!!!!!!!!! www.galileebreeze.blogspot.com

 In (John 16:13) JESUS says: "HE (the Holy Spirit) will guide you into all truth...".                                                                                                 Please, Let us Each and All ASK and ALLOW the Holy Spirit to guide us into all Truth!!!

In (Genesis 2:7):  "And the LORD formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the Breath of Life, and man became a living being.

(Footnote below Genesis 2:7)---"A most intimate moment occurred when the CREATOR 'Breathed into Adam's nostrils the Breath of Life.  "In HIM was life..." (John 1:4),  "And GOD gave mankind          the precious life that ONLY GOD has to give.  GOD LITERALLY       taught man how to breathe." 

Please allow me to insert here a Definition that will make the rest of this message more clear, and more inspiring and helpful!!!---------- "Spirit, pneuma ("pnyoo-mah"), Strong's # 4151.  Breath, breeze, a current of air, wind, spirit.  Pneuma is that part of a person capable of  responding to GOD.  The HOLY SPIRIT is the Third Person of the The TRINITY.  (Word Wealth-Romans 7:6-NKJV Bible).

"In the Beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD...in HIM was life..." (John 1:1-4).

"So JESUS said to them again, Peace to you!  'As the FATHER has sent ME, I also send you.  And when HE had said this, HE Breathed on them, and said to them 'Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:21-22).

Footnote: "Breathed"- (Genesis 2:7) GOD breathed the Breath of Life into Adam.....here (JESUS) Breathed life into HIS own."

****Remember (above) "Pneuma"= breath, spirit, wind,****

JESUS says:  "It is the SPIRIT WHO gives life; the flesh profits nothing.  The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John 6:63). 

An old hymn song says it this way:                                                        "My JESUS I love Thee, I know that Thou are mine...                          For Thee all the follies of sin I resign...                                                  I will love Thee in life... and praise Thee as long as THOU                     LENDEST me breath..."

[I strongly encourage you to buy the CD: "Revealing JESUS/A Live Worship Experience/ Darlene Zschech/Integrity Worship Music.  That CD is very rich in Worship Music.]

Now let's together Examine a lesson on Faith's Confessions:                  1) The words that we speak: (Genesis 17:5).  "GOD spoke a new name to Abram, and thus was arranging that Abram would remember GOD'S promise each time he heard his new name 'Abra-HAM'".          2) Faith When Facing Delays: (Numbers 13:30; 14: 6-9).  "Caleb Knew they could enter the land GOD gave them; and thus, forty years later he did possess GOD'S provision.                                                      3) Silencing Unbelief: (Joshua 6:10).  "Some times we cannot help  what we see or hear, but our refusal to SPEAK doubt and fear will keep our heart inclined to what GOD CAN DO."  We must frequently ("...bring our thoughts captive to the obedience of JESUS CHRIST... (2 Corinthians 10:5).    

   4) The meaning of Faith's Confession: (2 Chronicles 6:24-31). "Surrender and peaceful submission to GOD is a pathway to your prayer's being received by GOD.                                                               5) "Acceptable Speech before GOD: (Psalm 19:14).  We are to speak the words that confirm what we believe about GOD, HIS love, and HIS power.                                                                                                6) Wise Words Bring Health: (Proverbs 16:23-24). GOD'S wisdom teaches our hearts and then flows out of our words and conduct."          7) Keeping Your Confession Without Hypocrisy: (Matthew 15:7-9) "Living faith requires that the mouth and heart be together to avoid hypocrisy."     

   8) JESUS on 'Faith's Confession. (Mark 11:22-24).  Faith's Confession first seek's GOD'S intention, and is spoken as a release of GOD'S word of Promise." (NKJV-Kingdom Dynamics).

I confess that the Truth and Spirit contained in this message address many of My personal needs to submit to GOD our FATHER more deeply and more frequently, to speak and behave more like JESUS--- and to bring my thoughts and speech  "...captive to the obedience of JESUS CHRIST.  (2 Corinthians 10:5)---while confessing that I am totally dependent on HIM---And that HE is Always "...Faithful to HIS WORD and HIS Righteous Character."/2 Timothy 2:13/Amplified BIBLE).

"I'll love THEE in life...and PRAISE THEE as long as THOU LENDEST ME BREATH."

GOD'S MERCY COST US NOTHING........ www.galileebreeze.blogspot.com

HIS MERCY cost HIM HIS ONLY SON!!!!!!!!! 

"To whom has the Arm (HIS Perfect Love, Grace, Mercy, Healing, Saving) of the LORD been revealed?"  To   You, and me---Each and All!!!!! (Isaiah 53:1).

HE (JESUS) had no Stately Form, no Royal Kingly Splendor, no beauty, no appearance that we should desire HIM. HE was  A MAN of sorrows and acquainted  with grief and sickness; and like ONE from whom men hid their faces.. HE was despised, and rejected, and forsaken by men, and we did not appreciate HIS Worth or have any Esteem for HIM."

"Surely HE has carried our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried   Our   sorrows and pains of punishment...But HE was wounded for   Our   transgressions, HE was Crushed for  Our  guilt and iniquities, the punishment (Necessary) for    Our   peace and well-being was put on HIM, and with the stripes (that wounded HIM) we  are healed and made whole."

"All we   (me and You)   like sheep - have gone astray.  every one of      Us   we have turned to our own way; and GOD has made to fall on HIM (JESUS) the guilt and iniquity of   Us   All." (Isaiah 53:1-6/Amplified Bible).

"Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the FATHER of Mercies, the GOD WHO is the Source of every Comfort   (Consolation and Encouragement).  HE WHO consoles and encourages us in every difficulty...So that we may console and encourage others in their difficulties, (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER says to us:

1) I love   you   as if  you  were the ONLY child I will ever have.  (I gave MY ONLY SON to save   you). (John 3:16).

2) "I will have mercy on   you...". (Hosea 2:23).

3) "My rod and staff will Comfort   you. (Psalm 23:4).  

4)  "For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but MY kindness shall not depart from   you,  nor shall MY covenant of peace  bs removed, says the LORD, WHO has Mercy on   you. (Isaiah 54:10).

5) I will hold   you. (Isaiah 41:13).

6) "The Eternal GOD is   your   refuge...and underneath are (MY)  everlasting/ever present arms." (Deuteronomy33:27).

7) "In the day when I cried out, YOU answered  me..."   (Psalm 138:3).

8) "I will extend peace to  you   like a river...you   will (like a child) be bounced on MY knees... as   one  whom his Mother comforts, so  I  will comfort   you." (Isaiah 66:12-13). (New King James Version Bible).

JESUS was despised, rejected, forsaken, oppressed, crushed, afflicted,and punished for  You and me. (Isaiah 53:1-6/Amplified Bible).

JESUS ("The TRUTH"/John 14:6)---HIS promises to   you   and   me - each  and  all of us:                              1) "We  are Chosen, Adopted, and accepted in HIM..."    (Ephesians 1:1-6).                                                         2) HE declares in HIS WORD: I will not leave  you  nor forsake   you." (Isaiah 41:17/Isaiah 42:16).                  3) "I AM with   you   always." (Matthew 28:20).            4) JESUS is "... the YES and AMEN to every promise of GOD". (2 Corinthians 1:20).

"Be still and know that I AM GOD..." (Psalm 46:10).      DEFINITION: "know" - to be acquainted with/to Experience HIM."

The most effective way that I have experienced is:        1)Sit still in a quiet place; (2) "Bring your thoughts captive to the Obedience of JESUS" (2 Corinthians 10:5); (3) Close your eyes; (4) Ignore the time;            5) Focus on GOD.

Please do NOT try this ONLY one (1) time. Do this

several times in the 30 days.                                        HE is waiting for YOU with HIS Warm, Open Heart of HIS Perfect Love..."and underneath are HIS everlasting/ever present arms..." (Deuteronomy 33:27).

Because JESUS paid it All for   us... Lets end this with a  BLESSING:

"And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying...This is the Way you shall bless (MY people): Say to them:                    "The LORD Bless  you   and keep   you; fhe LORD make HIS Face shine upon  you, and be gracious to  you, the LORD look upon   you   with favor, and give   you peace."

"So they shall put MY NAME on them, and I will Bless  them. (Numbers 6:22-27).

AMEN---YES, let it BE SO!!!!!!!!                                   

THE SECOND FLOOD??? THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS!!!!!!!!

The first flood was in Noah's time...When "...the waters rose up so deep that the waters covered the highest mountains ( Yes, even Everest) by at least 22 feet (7 meters). {Genesis 7:17-24; plus (+) the footnotes underneath Gen. 7:17-24}.

From the First (water)-flood ---Noah, his wife, their 3 sons, and the wife of each son were all saved from the flood---a total of 8 people.  (In the BIBLE - The number "8" is most often associated with new beginnings/Resurrections.

The second flood was the BLOOD OF GOD'S ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!

The flood of Noah's time was a flood of such GLOBAL VOLUME of water---to wash away sin and the people of sin.

The Second flood - JESUS' BLOOD!!! was of SUFFICIENT HOLY RIGHTEOUS POWER to cover the sins of ALL people!!!

In (John 1:29) John the Baptizer saw JESUS and declared "Behold! The LAMB of GOD Who takes away the sin of the world!!!"

"There is Life, Power, Protection, and total Deliverance in the Blood of the LAMB.  HIS Blood is SUFFICIENT to save our souls and heal every disease or infirmity."

"For the life of the flesh is in The Blood.  And I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the Blood that makes atonement for the soul." (Leviticus 17:11).

DEFINITION: "Make atonement, chapar ("kah-par"), Strongs # 37225. The primary meaning is "to cover".  The verb (chapar) is used in (Genesis 6:14) where Noah was instructed to cover the ark with pitch." (Numbers 15:25/New Kings Bible/Word Wealth Edition).

3). "There is HEALING under the covering of the Blood.  "But HE was wounded for our transgressions, HE was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement (necessary) for our peace was (put) upon HIM, and by HIS stripes we are healed," (Isaiah 53:5).

4. "There is PROVISION under the covering of the Blood."  "HE also  brought them out with silver and gold..." (Psalm 105:37a).

6. "There is FORGIVENESS under the covering of the Blood.  "And according to the law almost things are purified with Blood, and without shedding of Blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9:22).

7. "There is CLEANSING under the covering of the Blood.  "But if we walk in the light as HE is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of JESUS CHRIST HIS SON cleanses us of all sin." (1 John 1:7).

8. "There is REDEMPTION under the covering of the Blood.  "In HIM we have redemption through HIS Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of HIS grace." (Ephesians 1:7).

10. "There is sanctification under the covering of the Blood.  "Therefore JESUS also that HE might sanctify the people with HIS own Blood, suffered outside the gate."  (Hebrews 13:12).

11. "There is PEACE under the covering of the Blood. "For it pleased the FATHER that in HIM all the fullness should dwell, and by HIM to reconcile all things to HIMSELF, by HIM, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the Blood of HIS cross." (Colossians 1:19-20).

12. "There is washing in the Blood.  "And from JESUS CHRIST, the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.  To HIM Who loved us and washed us from our sins in HIS Own Blood." (Revelation 1:5).

I Love You the same each day---as the day MY ONLY SON  died on the cross to save You from your sins.  "I AM the LORD, I do not change." (Malachi 3:6).  

"JESUS CHRIST is the SAME yesterday, today, and Forever." (Hebrews 13:8).

"I NEED..." www,galileebreeze.blogspot.com

 Sub-Title: "GOD'S LOVE...HIS PLAN...HIS SEEDS...HIS HARVEST...HIS GLORY!!!!!!!!!

Much too often...I SAY "I NEED..." when it is really only a desire, rather than a 'Need'!!!

Definition-NEED...A lack of something Required, a Necessity.

Definition-DESIRE...a Wish, or longing for.

Frequently, I say - "I need to Exercise three (3) times per week in order to maintain good health. (That fits the definition of Need- Necessity/Required).

HOLY GOD OUR FATHER WANTS to Meet our Needs (Luke 15:31).  Today (7-3-2025) I have been Praying - "I need healing for my back...".  Of course I WANT to be healed QUICKLY---But O so     Graciously Our FATHER Gently reminds me that HE has a more far-reaching plan and time for HIS healing for my back...

For Example: When I go to the Doctor's office...I will see many other people that HE wants me to Pray for... and Maybe some of them will pray for me!

Because GOD has written down (in Psalm 139:16) that "...HE wrote down our EVERY day --- BEFORE the day of our birth!!!  (So HE knows whom I will See, or will be seen By... on Every Day!!!

HE UNDERSTANDS us!!! (Proverbs 8:14).  HE KNOWS that waiting PATIENTLY is difficult for us:  So HE has provided for us HIS HOLY SPIRIT to enable us:  "But the Fruit of THE HOLY SPIRIT is: Love, Joy, Peace, PATIENCE, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control." (Galatians 5:22-23).

Let me relate to you a True Story:  A man named William Jennings Bryan  lived in the United States of America from 1860 - 1925.  Mr, Bryan was both a lawyer and a politician.  He had, (and exercised),  a strong Christian Faith.  He was a truly Excellent speaker...so gifted a speaker that he was called "The Silver-Tongued Orator" (Speaker).  In one of the books (IN HIS IMAGE) which he wrote ...He tells a personal story:  "I was passing through Ohio some years ago and stopped to eat at a restaurant.  My attention was called to a slice of watermelon, and I ordered it and ate it.  I was so pleased with the melon that I asked the waiter to dry some of the seeds so that I may take them home and plant them in my garden.  That night a thought came into my mind---I would use that watermelon as an illustration.  So, the next morning when I reached Chicago, I had enough seeds weighed  to learn that it would take about five thousand (5,000) seeds to weigh a pound, and I estimated that the watermelon weighed about forty (40) pounds. Then I applied mathematics to the watermelon.  A few weeks ago before, someone, I know not who, had planted a little watermelon seed in the ground,  Under the influence of sunshine and shower that little seed had  'taken off its coat and gone to work' ; it had gathered from somewhere two hundred thousand (200,000) times its own weight, and forced that enormous weight through a tiny stem and built a watermelon.  On the outside it had put a covering of green, within that a rind of white and within the white-a core of red, and then it had scattered through the red core little seeds, each one capable of doing the same work again,  What architect drew the plan?  Where did that little watermelon seed get its tremendous strength?  Where did it find its flavoring extract and its coloring matter?"  

"Then GOD said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind..."(Genesis 1:11).

So let US seek, AND FOLLOW GOD'S WISDOM (1 Corinthians 1:30) and timing for our days and nights...BOWING before HIM and asking HIM to fill us with HIS HOLY SPIRIT so that through us---HE can bring about HIS Harvest of GLORY to HIM--- by us scattering HIS seeds into other people's lives!

Those seeds will repeat the same work again, and AGAIN and AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

JESUS says to us:

"...you shall be baptized with THE HOLY SPIRIT... (Acts 1:5).

"...you shall receive power when THE HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you..." (Acts 1:8).

"...Repent and let you be baptized in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the HOLY SPIRIT..." (Acts 2:38).

"And when HE (JESUS) had said this, HE breathed on them and said  (Ask) and RECEIVE the HOLY SPIRIT." (John 20:22).
