**** THE PRIORITY OF THE FAMILY ****

"GOD'S Covenant with Adam and Eve contains two (2) inter-dependent Provisions: Descendants and Dominion.

"To Love and Take care of other people is one of the principal ways that we honor GOD and share in building HIS Kingdom. (Kingdom dynamics/NKJV/Spirit-filled life Bible).

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD..." (Psalm 127:3).  That means that children, and others needing our care, belong to GOD; they are "ours" only in a Secondary sense. GOD gives children to parents; and in HIS Perfect love --- HE sometimes gives older parents to their adult children so that adult children can take care of their own parents when needed.  It has been for me a Blessed personal experience  to help take care of my Mother and both parents of my Dear wife Mary.  (There were some difficult times, but GOD'S Grace prevailed through it all!!!

JESUS wants us to NOT despise (think little of) those who need our care...but to Always Remember that They belong to HIM!!!

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD: When "English speakers use the word for "to know", we think of our mental grasp of "facts".  In Hebrew, however, the word for "to know"  ("Yadah"); is much BROADER in scope and will ENRICH our understanding of the Scriptures.  Rather than just knowing Information, the Hebrew idea of "yadah" stresses Knowing - from Experience and Relationship, and Acting on that Knowledge.

This idea is Especially Important when we learn about the Biblical concept called the "Knowledge of GOD" (da'at Elohim).    We as Westerners may think this means - to prove GOD'S existence and establish a theological model to Explain GOD'S nature.  But the HEBREW view is that "Knowledge of GOD" is having a life in Relationship with HIM.

Hebraically, knowledge is not just knowing who someone is, it is DEVOTION to them as well.  Jews see Knowledge of GOD as Intimacy with GOD, Knowing HIM as a son does his father, and a wife knows her husband." (Listening to the language of the Bible- hearing it through JESUS' ears). [by Lois Tverberg with Bruce Okkema/En Gedi Resource Center, inc. PO Box 1707,Holland, MI  49422-1707 USA./www.egrc.net.  YOU-Please purchase a copy of this book for Yourself - it is Filled with Rich Blessings!!!

HOLY GOD OUR FATHER KNOWS/EXPERIENCES US.  HE is Intimately aware of, and cares Deeply about our feelings, needs, pains, fears, sorrows, and joys!!!  HE knows and understands our every thought, and the words that we speak. (Psalm 139:1-24).

Our every breath and heartbeat is a GIFT from HIM!!!  Because HE neither sleeps nor slumbers - "HE WHO keeps Israel (all of His people) shall neither slumber nor sleep." (Psalm 121:4).

HE KNOWS all that we experience and HE continues to love us with HIS Ever-Present, Unchanging, Everlasting, Perfect Love!!!  "He will complete the work that HE has begun in us..."(Philippians 1:6).  "HE always has Plans for good for us, plans to give us a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11, 31:3, Psalm 139:1-24).                                                ALWAYS!!!  Because HE declares in Malachi 3:6: "I AM THE LORD, I DO NOT CHANGE."

We as Care Givers, AND when we are Receiving Care---we are to FEED INTO our relationships - "Fruit of the SPIRIT: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness Gentleness, and Self-control." (Galatians 5:22-23).

In Psalm 37:3-4, our HOLY FATHER GOD directs us: "Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land and Feed on HIS Faithfulness.  Delight yourselves in the LORD, and HE shall give you the desires of your heart."

"Feed on HIS Faithfulness" --- As We feed on HIS Faithfulness--- we will always have a FEAST ---Because "HE is Faithful to HIS WORD and to HIS RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER - (Because) HE Cannot Deny HIMSELF." (2 Timothy 2:13).  

"To love and care for others is one of the principal ways that we Honor GOD and share in building HIS Kingdom. (Kingdom Dynamics/NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible).

I bow my Heart, my Head, and my knees - submitting to YOU Oh HOLY SPIRIT that YOU will guide and enable me to live so that "GOD'S KINGDOM COME, HIS WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" through me.

AMEN -SO BE IT!!!

  

SHEMA "SHMAH" --- HEAR AND OBEY!!!!!!!!

Then one of the scribes came, and seeing that JESUS and the others were discussing the Commandments, and perceiving that JESUS had answered well, asked JESUS, Which is the most important of all?       JESUS answered, "The First and principal one of the commandments is: Hear ("Shmah"), O MY people, The LORD our GOD, the LORD is One."

"And you shall love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength."  (Mark 12:29-30).

"And the second, like it, is: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:31).

"Our modern Western culture tends to focus on Mental activity.  "It's the thought that counts', we say.  But Biblical cultures were very Action-oriented, and and this is reflected in the language.  Many verbs that We consider Mental activities (hearing, knowing, remembering, etc.) are broadened to include their Physical Outcomes as well.  Understanding this is is often a great help for Bible Study."

"An excellent example is the word Shema, (pronounced as "Shmah"), that has a primary meaning of "hear" or "listen". Listening, in our culture, is considered a Mental activity, and hearing just means that our ears pick up sounds.  But in the Bible, the word Shema is widely used to describe hearing AND also it's OUTCOMES: hearing, taking heed, being obedient, DOING what is asked.  Any Mother who has shouted at her children, 'Were you LISTENING!?" when they ignored her request to clean up their rooms, understands that listening should result in Action." (From "Listening to the language of the Bible - hearing it through JESUS' ears./ By Lois Tverberg with Bruce  Okkema/www.egrc.net/Ein-Gedi Resource, Inc.  PO Box 1707, Holland, Mi 49422-1707).  I encourage YOU - I URGE You to purchase this Book and read/FEAST ON the Biblical Treasures that it contains!!!!!

"...HE (JESUS!!!) UPHOLDS, MAINTAINS, GUIDES, And PROPELS the UNIVERSE by HIS Mighty Word of Power...."              (Hebrews 1:3/Amplified Bible). 

Speaking from my Personal Experience - that is How Our HEAVENLY FATHER guides me through life.

Medically - I occasionly have health issues, ranging from dental visits, physical therapy,etc - to physical heart procedures.

I KNOW that GOD our FATHER Can heal me Instantly; but instead, HE Upholds, Maintains, Guides, and Propels me through various doctor's offices, x-rays, ct scans, therapy centers, waiting rooms, even at the fitness center... HE guides me and propels me to pray for, to comfort others, and to Witness to them in JESUS' NAME by my shirts, caps, shorts.....and Sometimes... by Words.; HE guides me to pray for the medical staff, fellow patients, and their Families.  (Possibly some of them might pray for me).  Some of these brief inter-actions move on to become a part of my ongoing prayer lists, and thus a part of HIS process of "...Transforming Us more and more into the image of JESUS CHRIST - as He has listed in (2 Corinthians 3:18).  Thus as we encounter other people---praying for them, comforting them, encouraging them. and Blessing them in JESUS' NAME, etc...

"And ALL of us, as with unveiled face, (because 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 in-creasing 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).

"For the WORD that GOD speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the [immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12/  Amplified Bible).

When our hearts are bowed low in Submission to GOD - we cannot See  where we are (Physically) going - But by The HOLY SPIRIT in us we CAN ALWAYS FOLLOW JESUS!!!!!!!!

**** JESUS HIMSELF speaks to us - (Individually and Intimately) at least 12 times --- Inviting us/Commanding us: "FOLLOW ME." (Matthew 9:9+++++ ****

"For I am well assured and indeed Know that through your prayers and a Bountiful Supply of the Spirit of JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel).

BE DRESSED!!! BE OBEDIENT!!! BE VICTORIOUS!!!

"In (LUKE 4:16-20) JESUS came to Nazareth, where HE had been brought up.  And as HIS custom was, HE went into the synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and HE stood up to read."

And HE was handed the book of the Prophet Isaiah.  And when HE had opened the book, HE found the place where it was written:

"The Spirit of the LORD is upon ME to preach the Gospel to the poor; HE has sent ME to heal the broken-hearted (the discouraged, the depressed)...." (and from Isaiah 61:2-3)"... to comfort all who mourn... to give them beauty for ashes...the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness (discouragement, depression...)..."

A garment (?) of praise?

"The Hebrew root for "garment" shows praise as MORE than a piece of clothing casually thrown over our shoulders.  It literally teaches us "to wrap" or "cover" ourselves - that the garment of Praise is to leave no openings through which hostile elements can penetrate.  This garment  of praise REPELS and REPLACES the heavy (discouraging/ depressing spirit).  This special message of instruction and hope is for those who are oppressed by fear, or doubt, discouragement or depression. "Put on" this garment!!!  A warm coat from our closet resists the cold wind ONLY when it is "Put On"!                                    When distressed --- BE DRESSED!!! - with Praise!!!  Act according to GOD'S WORD!!!" (Psalm 150:1-6).

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

"Saying in a loud voice, WORTHY is the LAMB, WHO was slain, to receive ALL the Power, and Riches, and Praise and Wisdom and Might and Honor and Majesty (Glory and Splendor) and Blessing...Praise, and Worship, and the giving of Thanks." 

"And every creature in heaven and on earth...and on the sea and all that is in it, crying out together-To HIM WHO is seated on the throne and to the LAMB be ascribed the blessing and the Honor and the Majesty (Glory and Splendor) and the Power (Might and Dominion) forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities)!!!" (Revelation 5:12-13)/Amplified Bible). 

"Let everything that has breath, and every breath of life PRAISE the LORD!!!" (Psalm 150:6/Amplified Bible).

"But YOU are HOLY, O YOU WHO Dwell in the Praises of YOUR people." (Psalm 22:3).

Praise HIM BECAUSE HE is HOLY!!!  HE sent HIS ONLY SON to die on the cross to save us from our sins!!!

Praise HIM BECAUSE HE "upholds, maintains, guides, and propels the UNIVERSE by HIS Mighty WORD of Power." (Hebrews 1:3).

BECAUSE HE wants us to live with HIM in Heaven forever...

BECAUSE "HE is the SAME yesterday, today, and Forever..."...Therefore HE loves us the SAME every day as HE did when JESUS was dying on the cross for us!!! (Hebrews 13:8/John 19:17-18).

Sometimes we might not "feel" like praising HIM---HOWEVER, HE declares in (Malachi 3:6) "I AM the LORD, I do not change."...So HE is ALWAYS WORTHY of our Praise!!!!!!!!!

"PRAISE SPOTLIGHTS GOD: Here is the most basic reason for our PRAISE unto GOD: HE IS WORTHY to be praised!!!  [Hebrew halal "praise with a loud voice"]."  The most primitive meaning of "halal" is "to cause to shine."  Thus, with our praise, we are throwing the spotlight on our GOD WHO is Worthy and Deserves to be PRAISED and  GLORIFIED!"  The more we put the spotlight on HIM, the more HE causes us to shine.  Modern medicine attests to the value of bringing a depressed person into a Brightly-lighted room, acknowledging that light greatly helps to heal their depression!!! How much MORE will Praise introduce the Light of GOD and bring us into the Joy of the LORD!!!" (Psalm 7:14-17/Psalm 22:3).

(The First word that GOD SPOKE was: "Let there be light; and there was light."(Genesis 1:3).

In (John 8:12) JESUS DECLARES "I AM THE LIGHT."

"Put ON" this Garment of Praise!!!  A warm coat from our closet resists the cold wind ONLY when it is "Put On"!!!

When distressed/depressed, BE DRESSED - with Praise!!!                  Act according to GOD'S WORD!!! (Psalm 150:6)."

*****SECURITY***

Security is something that ALL people need, and seek.  Many people, maybe Most people...look to "things" for security...but things can all be lost, stolen, or destroyed in various ways.

JESUS says in (John 19:27-30): "MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME.  And I give them eternal life, and    they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of MY    hand."

"MY FATHER, WHO has given them to ME, is GREATER than all;  and No one is able to snatch them out of MY FATHER'S hand.

I and MY FATHER are ONE." 

In 2 Chronicles 32:10:29 Sennacherib (King of Assyria) has surrounded Hezekiah and the city of Jerusalem...(And Sennacherib    declares to Hezekiah and to all of Jerusalem): 'In what do you trust?   ...Do you not know what my fathers and I have done to all the of other lands?  Were the gods of these nations in any way able to deliver those lands out of my hand?  Your GOD will fail!"

BUT GOD!!!!!!!!!  But because of Sennacherib's challenge..."King      Hezekiah  and the prophet Isaiah cried out to GOD---then the LORD  sent an angel who Cut Down Every mighty man, leader, and captain of the king of Assyria!   So Sennacherib returned "SHAME-FACED"  to his own land.  And when he went into the temple of his god, his own offspring killed him with a sword."

"THE LORD, THE KING OF GLORY - STRONG AND MIGHTY...   (Psalm 24:8)  HE IS ABLE TO BE our Security!!!!!!!!!

I Am Secure IN My FATHER:                                                                "I am free forever from condemnation." (Romans 8:1-2)                      "Father is always for me, not against me." (Romans 8:31)                    "In JESUS it is just as if I had never sinned." (Romans 5:1)                   "Troubles do not separate me from GOD'S love." (Romans 8:35)        **** Troubles actually draw me Closer and Deeper in GOD'S love--  "...submit to GOD...draw near to GOD, and HE will draw near to you." (James 4: 1-8). ****                                                                        "Humble yourself in the sight of the LORD and HE will lift you up."    (James 4:10).                                                                                            "I am hidden with JESUS in the FATHER." (Colossians 3:8).                "GOD'S perfect love casts out all fear." (1 John 4:18).                            "The evil one has no right to touch me." (1 John 5:18).                          "FATHER wants to hold me when I am afraid." (Isaiah 66: 12-13/2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

"I Am Accepted by my FATHER:                                                            "I am called a child of GOD..." (John 1:12).                                            "JESUS  calls me HIS "friend". (John 15:15).                                          "I am chosen, adopted, and accepted as belonging to GOD as HIS in JESUS." (Ephesians 1: 1-6).

I Am Loved by my FATHER:                                                                  "FATHER loves me with HIS Everlasting love." (Jeremiah 31:3).          "The Eternal GOD is my refuge...and underneath are HIS Everlasting  arns." (Deuteronomy 33:27).                                                                    "The beloved of the LORD shall dwell safely by HIM, WHO shelters him all day long." (Deuteronomy 33:12).

"GOD has forgiven me":                                                                          "HE has put all my sins under HIS feet and cast them into the depths of the sea." (Micah 7:19).

**** JESUS walked on the sea. (John 6:19).                                          ****JESUS walked to the cross. (John 19:7).                                          ****The last thing that JESUS did was to say:" It Is Finished!!!!". (John 19:30).  ****"The Greek tense of ("It is Finished") indicates that the work of redemption has been COMPLETED ONCE FOR All and its results are ABIDING CONTINUOUSLY." (from footnote under John 19:30.).

"Know that the LORD, HE is GOD: It is HE WHO has made us, and not we ourselves; we are HIS people and the sheep of HIS pasture."      (Psalm 100:3).

JESUS SAYS: "MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME."  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; Neither shall Anyone snatch them from MY hand.  MY FATHER, WHO has given them to ME is GREATER than all; and No one is able to snatch them from MY FATHER'S hand.                                      I and MY FATHER ARE ONE!!!".  (John 10:27-30).

"LORD, I wish..."

There was a time in my adult life.....when I was a part of a church in which we had most wonderful praise and worship, excellent and powerful preaching, and very Blessed Fellowship!!!  And we had many very young children in the church family.

During a particular morning worship service, I had this thought: "LORD, I wish that I had grown up in a Church like this!"

In His mercy, HOLY GOD,  our Father gave to me understanding..."I gave to you what you would need for the life that I have planned for you."   "Oh!!!  I was Struck by the Clear, powerful truth in what He said!!!  Truly, several times each week, I realize and experience the truth of that; and I again thank and Praise Him!!!

Because He is GOD..."He wrote down my every day before the day of my birth..." (Psalm 139:16); and "...He has good plans us." (Jeremiah 29!!); for He is able to do superabundantly, far over and above all that we (dare) ask or think [Infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams..."] (Ephesians 3:20/Amplified Bible).

Let Us begin to increase our dedication and submission to Him and to His plan for our lives so that we can share with others who are in need of His Great Love:

"Blessed be the GOD and Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the Father of mercies, and GOD Who is the source of all Comfort... (consoling, holding, Strengthening Presence, and Encouragement." (2 Corinthians 1:3/ Amplified Bible).

"Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we may also be able to console and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort with which we are comforted by GOD." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4/Amplified Bible).

For GOD, our Heavenly Father says to us:

A. Definition: Comfort---(1)  (not casual sympathy) but rather deep empathy---like weeping  with those who weep.).  (Psalms 23:4/Strong's # 5162).                                                                              (2) Comfort of the HOLY SPIRIT: (Strongs # 3874) Paraklesis/"Par-Ak-lay-sis" - "A calling alongside to help, to comfort, to give consolation or encouragement. The Paraklesis is a strengthening Presence; Paraklesis (comfort) can come to us both by the HOLY SPIRIT(Acts 9:3) and by the Scriptures (Romans 15:6).

B."And He said: 'My Presence will go with you, and I will Give you Rest...(Exodus 33:14)/nu ach/"noo ahch"./Strongs # 5117).  "GOD"S Presence will give rest to His people, that is, His Presence soothes, comforts, settles, consoles, and quiets us." (Exodus 33:14/Strongs # 5517).

**** GOD'S Presence  can always be found in the Praises of His People!!!!!!!!!! (Psalms 22:3) ****

"And I will have Mercy on (him/her) " (Hosea 2:23)  Strongs # 7335,   RACHAM, ("rah-cahm").

"Have Mercy - to feel or show Compassion, to Love Deeply, to Tenderly Love (especially as parents love their infant child). "Racham" is the origin of the Hebrew word for a mother's WOMB.

God wants us to show Compassion toward all who are weak and defenseless. ( Isaiah 54:8-10)  

An additional insight/understanding that our LORD has added to this study:

(A) For every woman who has had an abortion ... GOD'S Mercy was there First!

(B) For every woman who wants to give birth to children but can- not... GOD'S Mercy is there!!!

Some more of GOD'S Wonderous Promises about HIS Mercy:

1)  "...for a mere moment I have forsaken You, but with Great Mercy I will Gather you ... with Everlasting Kindness   I will have Mercy on you," (Isaiah 54:7-8)

2) 

(Psalm 25:6) " Remember, O LORD, Your Tender Mercies and Your lovingkindnesses". 

3) "Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS, Who according to His Abundant Mercy has begotten us again to a Living Hope through the Resurrection of JESUS from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).

4) "Through the LORD'S Mercies we are not consumed, because HIS Compassion fails not, they are New Every Morning, Great is YOUR  Faithfulness."  (Lamentations 3: 22-23).

Let us Remember that with GOD - What we give out - we get back multiplied! Plant 1 (one) seed of corn - you can get 1 (one) cornstalk- which will have several ears of corn- each of which will have hundreds of grains (Picture -"corn on the cob"). 

HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! From our Faithful Father!!! 

"... JESUS CHRIST --- For all the Promises of GOD in HIM are Yes and in Him Amen to the Glory of God through us."  (2 Cor 1:19-20).

O GOD MOST HIGH!!! MAY YOU RECEIVE EVER INCREASING GLORY as we Give out- and Live out- many, many MERCIES!!!!!!!!

"LORD, I WISH..."

There was a time in my early Adult years...when I was a part of a church in which we were Blessed to have most Wonderful and powerful Praise and Worship, And excellent and Powerful preaching, and also very good fellowship!!! In that congregation we also had many infants and young children!!!

On a certain Sunday Morning...I remember thinking (silently) "LORD!...I wish that I had grown up in a church like this!!!"

In HIS mercy, Holy GOD our Father over the next few days Gracious-  ly gave me understanding..."I gave to you what you will need for the life that I have planned for you".  Oh!!! I was Struck  by the clear, powerful Truth in what HE said!!!!!  Truly, through all the years...        several times each week, I again realize and experience the truth of that lesson; and I again Thank HIM and Praise HIM!!!!!!!!!

Because HE IS GOD---"HE wrote down my every day before the day of my birth...". (Psalm 139:16) ... and "HE has good plans for me, plans to give me a Future and a Hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).  And "... by the action og His Power that is at work within us, HE is ABLE to carry out HIS purpose and do Superabundantly, far over and above all that we (dare) as

      

WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE???

What is YOUR WORTH?

That question is NOT asking "How much money do you have in the bank...It is NOT asking how much cash do you have in your wallet or your purse...It is NOT asking the value of your home, your land, car(s),  boat, airplane, jewelry, art, etc.;...NOT asking the amount of your income per week, per month, Nor how much you are paid for each item of "work" that you produce...

GOD  WHO created the Universe - all that we can see - and all that we cannot see - (Genesis 1:1-2:7), the Universe belongs to HIM!!!

ONCE FOR ALL TIME, and into Eternity ***** HE **** SET YOUR VALUE to HIM and MY VALUE to HIM - By the PRICE HE PAID for YOU and for ME...for EACH and EVERY ONE of US!!!!!!!!

HE PAID the HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE for YOU and FOR ME!!!

HE is Omniscient (All Knowing)!!! HE is Omnipotent (All Powerful)!!!  HE is Omnipresent (He is "With Us Always" (Matthew 28:20/Psalm 139: 1-12).

HE PAID the PRICE: sending HIS ONLY SON to a tortuous death on the Cross...For You and for Me!!!!!

DEFINITION - A. "Know": (Strongs # 1097, Ginosko, ("ghi-noskoe") (John 8:32); The Recognition of Truth learned by Personal Experience.                                                                                              B. "Know": (Strongs #3045) - "Yada", ("yah-dah").(Exodus 3:7( (To perceive, to be acquainted with.)

When  GOD  sent JESUS to the cross---HE did KNOW (Recognized, Perceived, Experienced) HIS SON JESUS was being SCOURGED (Whipped with long leather thongs Embedded with pieces of sharp metal and pieces of bone---which Ripped and Tore HIS flesh);  HE was Despised, Rejected, Stricken, Crushed, Accused, Afflicted, Wounded, Doubted,Chastised, Mocked, Struck down, Pierced ---until HE DIED!!!!!!!!!  HE even Carried our griefs and sorrows!!! (Isaiah 53:2-5).  For YOU, for Me!!!

HE PAID FOR YOU!!! FOR Me!!

So that HE can live IN us, and THROUGH us HERE , and NOW---leading others to HIM---so that TOGETHER  we can and SHALL PRAISE and WORSHIP and THANK and BLESS HIM HERE---AND DO SO WITH HIM in Heaven Forever!!!!!!!!!!

Through almost continuous assaults on our hearts, minds, and spirits... the enemy (through the ways of the world) tells us that we can become more beautiful, handsome, more successful, etc....if we will buy this, that, etc.

****Because GOD does NOT Change: "I AM the LORD, I do NOT Change..." (Malachi 3:6)/ "JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, and FOREVER." (Hebrews 13:8).  Therefore HIS value for us does NOT change!!!!!!!!!!

But GOD declares to us:                                                                         "...And all of us, as with unveiled face [because we] continue to behold [in the Word of GOD] as in a mirror the glory of the LORD, are continually being transfigured into HIS 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).    

Let us NOT call ourselves, nor anyone else...anything less than what GOD calls us.

"YOU will guard him and keep him in perfect and complete peace whose mind [both it's inclination and it's character] is stayed on YOU, because he commits himself to YOU, and hopes continually in YOU." (Isaiah 26:3/Amplified Bible).                                                         

AMEN - Let it BE SO in my heart!!!!!!!!!!

THE WAY!!!

Darkness........SON - LIGHT --------"THE WAY"!!!!!!!! 

I do Strongly Urge you to Ask the HOLY SPIRIT To "Guide you into All Truth". (John 16:13).

It was a time in the past...When GOD our HOLY FATHER CARRIED me Through this Personal Experience---

It was a dark, cloudy, cold, and rainy day.....I found out that someone had betrayed me.....As you can imagine, that was a very difficult and painful experience for me.

BUT - As we all experience --- circumstances Do CHANGE...!!!

Definition:  Circumstances --- Conditions that are Both "around" us, and Internal...for example: Weather, being alone, or in a crowded room; (Internal): our own thoughts, memories, emotions, hopes, expectations, etc.

A. As I awakened the next morning, the Holy Spirit Began to BRING TO MY REMEMBRANCE that (Still!) "...GOD has Good plans for me...plans to give me a future and a hope..." (Jeremiah 29:11).

B> Personal Experience: That GOD has given to me HIS Calling, and ability, and time - to Study HIS WORD; and to share how HE uses HIS WORD to Continue to mature my faith and character.  (Also, please read 2 Corinthians 3:18, and Philippians 1:6).

C. (Of Course!!!) The weather changed.....the day ended with the weather changing to a Warm, and partly-cloudy day!!!

So, what am I (CONTINUING to learn)???                                             1) I am to Keep my focus on GOD (not on circumstances)!!!                A, GOD DOES NOT CHANGE:  "For I AM the LORD, I DO NOT CHANGE," (Malachi 3:6).

B. "JESUS CHRIST is the SAME yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8).                                                                                        JESUS' Love for Each and All of us remains the SAME AS when HE said to GOD HIS FATHER:  "O MY FATHER, if it is possible, let this "cup"  (HIS dying on the cross to save you and me) -  Pass from Me, But Nevertheless,  Not as I will, But as YOU Will."  (Matthew 26:39).

In GOD'S TIME...JESUS DECLARED: "IT IS FINISHED!!!!!!!!".      (John 19:30).

C. INSTRUCTIONS for me and for You:                                                  "...bring our every thought into Captivity to the obedience of JESUS CHRIST."  (2 Corinthians 10:5).

D. "For the rest, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and gracious, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things-[FIX your mind on these things]."        (Philippians 4:8/Amplified Bible).

With the (Above) Truths - Plus more...HE warmed my heart, and caused HIS LIGHT [JESUS] (John 8:12)] to shine in my heart...and to shine through my words and actions...

"For GOD WHO said,Let Light shine in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the LIGHT for the illumination 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 4:6-7 Amplified Bible). 

"Then I looked, and I heard the Voices of many angels (Praising HIM) on every side of the throne and of the living creatures and the elders, and they numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands, saying in a loud voice, WORTHY is The LAMB, WHO was sacrificed, to receive all the power and riches and wisdom and might and Honor and Majesty (Glory and Splendor) and Blessing!!!".  (Revelation 5:11-12/Amplified Bible).

"Peace I leave with you, MY peace I give to you---peace of mind and heart!  And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid." (John 14:27/Living Bible).

JESUS Says I AM the WAY."  (John 14:6).

"PRAISE THE LORD CONTINUALLY" (Revelation 5:12).

"May the LORD OF PEACE HIMSELF give you HIS Peace no matter what happens." (2 Thessalonians 3:16/Living Bible).

HELP, LORD!!!! I CAN'T DO THIS!!

 Sub-TITLE ----COMMIT....ROLL!!!!

DEFINITION- COMMIT:                                                                        1) to pledge or obligate myself.                                                                2) to entrust.

I must confess:  I am often Hesitant...even Reluctant to pledge or to obligate myself.

But...when it is something that I Cannot do...then I can ENTRUST it to Someone WHO can and Will do it for me/through me.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: In the year of my Sixth (6th)birthday ---  Both my Mother and my Father died due to serious health problems.  So, at that time...in the WORLD'S eyes--I was an orphan.  BUT GOD had HIS PLAN for my life!!! (THANK YOU O GOD!!!!!!!!) HIS plan was for me to be adopted by my Aunt and Uncle!!!

Even Before They adopted me...GOD Our HEAVENLY FATHER "...Chose me, Adopted me, and Accepted me as HIS in JESUS CHRIST. (Ephesians 1:1-6).  Long BEFORE My Physical birth....HE had HIS plan for ALL of my life!!!!

At approximately age nine (9), I accepted JESUS CHRIST as my SAVIOR and LORD!!!!!!!!  HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early in 1980 (at age 35), during a crisis point in my life...I remember getting down on my KNEES on the floor of my home...and I cried out to GOD:  "GOD, I CANNOT live this  Christian life  (by myself!)...YOU will have to do it through me!!!"

That ENTRUSTING was what GOD our HEAVENLY FATHER was waiting for---(for me to Entrust my life to HIM!!!!).

Within a few months my Pastor encouraged me to attend a Methodist Men's Retreat.....and to attend a class about becoming filled with the HOLY SPIRIT. [Just as JESUS says in (John 20:22) "...receive the HOLY SPIRIT"].

That step began the next phase of my life --- as stated in (Philippians 1:6) - "Being content of this very thing, that HE WHO has begun a good work in you will complete it until the Day of JESUS CHRIST."  Also - "The GOD of All grace WHO called us to HIS eternal glory by JESUS CHRIST, after you have suffered a while, will "perfect", establish, strengthen, and settle you. To HIM be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." (1 Peter 5:10).

So, the word "Commit" (in NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible) is Full-and Running Over with rich, encouraging information:                                "COMMIT" your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established. (Proverbs 16:3).

"Feast" on the illustrations of this definition:                                       "The reader is encouraged to ROLL his works into GOD'S care.  The Picture is of a camel, burdened with a HEAVY load; when the load is to be removed, the camel KNEELS down, tilts far to one side, and the load/burden ROLLS off."

Of course I cannot list here ALL of the experiences that GOD has given to me in my 80 years and 7 months of my life so far...

But here is a brief summary:  Here is this little boy from rural North Georgia----who at age (6) - both of his parents died due to serious health problems.....so in the WORLD'S eyes I was now an Orphan...But in GOD'S Heart...and in HIS plan for my life...I was NEVER an orphan----"HE chose, and adopted, and accepted me as HIS in JESUS..."(Ephesians 1:1-6) long before I was born.  Also in HIS plan I was adopted by my Aunt and Uncle.

At age 35, during a Personal crisis, I cried out to my Heavenly FATHER ..."GOD, I Cannot live this Christian life by myself; YOU will have to do it through me,"  Several months later, my Pastor encouraged me to attend a Methodist Men's Retreat,,,and as I attended a class study...I was  filled with the HOLY SPIRIT!!!  {As JESUS says in (John 20:22)- "Receive the HOLY Spirit."}.

Several years later, GOD called me to go to MOSCOW RUSSIA!!! to help lead a Christian Retreat to strengthen the faith of the body of Christ in Russia. 

And now at age (80)----I am retired from work, and GOD guides and enables me to spend most of my days studying GOD'S WORD, and sharing it through a blog on the internet, and through the US Mail.

People who know me personally...will tell you that I am just an ordinary older man - who has plenty of time to study GOD'S WORD.

BUT GOD!!!!  "Now to HIM WHO, by HIS Power that is at work within us, is able to carry out HIS purpose and do superabundantly,  far over and above all that we dare ask or think ([nfinitely  beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams)----to HIM be GLORY in the church and in JESUS CHRIST throughout all generations forever and ever.   AMEN." (Ephesians 3:20 Amplified Bible). 

"For GOD so greatly loves and dearly prizes (each and every one in the world) that HE even gave up HIS only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes (trusts in, clings to, relies on) HIM shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." (John 3:15-16(Amplified Bible).

As we accept JESUS as our SAVIOR and LORD, ask HIM to fill us with The HOLY SPIRIT (John 20:22);  GOD will do through us (ALL) that which is beyond our thoughts, dreams, and desires. (Ephesians 3:20/Amplified Bible).

"For the Son OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, was not Yes and No, but YES. For all the promises of GOD in HIM are Yes, and in HIM Amen, to the glory of GOD through us."  (2 Corinthians 1:19-20).

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!!!!!!!!

"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).

"He (THE HOLY SPIRIT) will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13).

BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH US...HE SHALL BRING A HARVEST OF GLORY TO HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!
