Love you all, praying for you.
I just love God’s Word. It tells you the truth about natural and spiritual. Natural seems right. Spiritual is right. Natural is temporary, Spiritual is eternal. Lasts forever. Natural affects spiritual. What you do down here, affects where and how you will life up there. Life doesn’t end with death of the body. Your soul and spirit never die, they are eternal from the moment God breathed life into you. You will live forever with Him in heaven, or forever separate from Him in the lake of fire. It comes down to one thing. What did you do with Jesus? His Son that He sent to die in your place, to cover the penalty of your sin, so you don’t have to. Did you receive Him? Or reject Him? The answer to that question determines your destination for eternity. It doesn’t matter what people think, their opinion of the afterlife – of which they are completely ignorant. God tells us spiritual reality. It's eternal, there is no sin that can co-exist with God, He hates it – and you’re a sinner, so you need a Savior. Jesus is that Savior. It cost Him His life, and it will cost you yours. No longer your life, your life is now lived for, and directed by Him. The best exchange ever! He’ll help you fulfill your purpose! You’ll love it! Because that’s what you were created for! So what’s this four letter word? Holy. It means set apart, separate from the common, vile or profane. God said, “Be Holy as I am Holy.” You are set apart. You are called to live by the spirit, not the flesh. If you have put your faith in Jesus death in your place, to save you. It saves you from sin – the control of sin in your life here on earth. And it saves you from separation – from God for eternity, a place called the lake of fire, reserved for the devil and his demons (once angels) and all who reject the Son of God. Jesus whom He sent to save you! If you believe in Him, you’re saved, and if you are filled with His Spirit, you have the power to overcome sin, and live a Holy Life, a set apart life – for God’s purpose, and His purpose for you! That you couldn’t live by yourself, on your own, by your own strength – you need His - and He’ll give it. The first lie about Holy is that it’s not fun. That’s a lie. God created everything good, to be enjoyed. The fun that the old nature desires, is only fun for a season, but then it comes with a venereal disease. Money doesn’t last forever, it can be gone in a minute, fame is fleeting. Friends you thought were, are not. Like the prodigal son learned. Holy is not unfun. It sets you up for joy, and joy eternally, and the fun that God gives you along the way – so far surpasses the cheap trinkets, the fake fun of the world that it can’t even be compared. God has good for you, Holy is worth it! He gives wealth and adds no trouble to it, He gives contentment and joy, and peace, and purpose, and grace – that’s power, and forgiveness if you ever need it. His joy is unspeakable. That means – there’s no words for it, you couldn’t find them if you tried. His way is a highway, not a ditch. His love is eternal, His purpose for you – is what you were designed for. You wouldn’t want anything other than that anyway. Praying that you will desire, and long to be Holy – Set apart, dedicated, removed from anything common, vile or profane. So that God can use you mightily, so He can fill you, fulfill your purpose, and bring fruit from your life that will last forever. You were called to be Holy. It’s not unfun, it's the most fun you could ever have! Is there anything in your life, that does not reflect the Holiness of God? Turn from it! Whatever you leave behind, you’ll never regret, it’s just keeping you from God’s best. Holy is what you were made for! It’s worth it, He’ll help you! Love you all, dad

Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. It’s truth and life. And it uses four letter words. Here’s the best one. Love: For God so loved (you) that He gave his only son. That if you believe in Him, you will not perish, but have everlasting life. The greatest command. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind, and all your strength. The second greatest command. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Love is the greatest command, and the greatest four letter word of all time. Here’s the second best one. Pray. God said to pray without ceasing. That means a life of praying constantly. Always in conversation with the One who created you, loves you the most, and has plans for your best! How else would you know them, if you don’t pray. PiVAT before dinner – getting God’s plans for your day – is really a prayer, a conversation with your owner and boss, about His plans for you today. That change of direction from your plans to His plans – is way better! The third best four letter Word is Obey. It's a path, not a list, a joy not a burden. Every time you obey – it leads you closer to His best for you, the fulfilling of your purpose. And there’s always joy there! God said if you love me, obey my commands (what I tell you, what I have planned for you). When it comes to love for God. Love is obey. Choose His plans and His ways over yours. (Ask Him, He’ll tell you). When it comes to love for others. Love is prefer. To prefer them over yourself, their interests above yours. And the fourth best four letter word is heed. That means hear it and do it, apply it, put it into practice – do it immediately. God gives warnings. The wise man sees danger and takes refuge, the fool keeps going and suffers for it. There are many dangers in life, physical, spiritual, emotional, financial. God gives warnings. Calamities happen, nations rise and fall. God gives warning to protect his children. Those who heed are protected, those who don’t, suffer loss. Sometimes everything. Praying that you will understand, and value these four letter words. Love, Pray, Obey, and Heed. The last four letter word is above all. Word. He has elevated His Word even above His Name. What God says – He does, and that becomes part of His Name, and His fame. His Word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path, it’s truth, and life, and wisdom for your success. His Word is the key to everything in your life, to establish you, protect you, promote you, and preserve you. Praying that His WORD is your Priority (PRISM those 5 things you can do daily in it, will help you!). His Word is the only guaranteed investment in life, it never fails to yield a return. Praise is a good word, but that’s five letters. Rejoice is a good one but that’s seven letters. Life is a good one, that’s four. And if you will LOVE, PRAY, OBEY, and HEED, and stay in His WORD! The Giver of life will give you life and life more abundantly. Plus if you love God you’ll praise him and rejoice anyway. If you pray, you can’t help but do it. If you just think of what He has done, you can’t help but rejoice. Praying that you will value God’s four letter words, and do them like you breathe. Love you all, dad |
