JESUS CHRIST’S UNITED FAMILY

On By glendarouseIn Uncategorized1 Comment

John 17:21 “I pray that they all will be one just as you and I are one…”

Whether driving in your local city or town or driving for more than a couple hours, it seems that construction is everywhere. I’ve had to endure so much construction lately that I’ve noticed a spiritual parallel. Construction on a very familiar highway can cause that very familiar path to become very confusing. However, those creating the path always have a plan for a safe, alternate route to get us to our destination. (See the spiritual in the natural) The planet seems to be disturbed, with wars, confusion, corruption, and unexpected headlines of unheard-of happenings around the globe. Be encouraged! Once again, humanity has turned the world upside down. But God is turning it right-side-up. All of the happenings today are part of the “Divine Construction Plan” of God for His creation. We are becoming the Lord’s united family of God, Jew and Gentile. Paul and the disciples longed to see!

Pray for Israel! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as scripture commands. (Psalms 122:6) The Jewish people and Christians are of the same heritage. We are family! God’s family! In all of the seemingly, chaotic construction, God is bringing the Family, the body of Christ together in unity! Jesus prayed for his family, that we would all be one! During this time of divine reconstruction please join me in prayer for the points below. Invite, others and, share the points of prayer.

Prayer: Lord, Change the atmosphere on college campuses to peace, love, and respect for one another. I pray that the United States will remain aligned with its greatest ally, Israel. Lord, save the innocent and destroy the evil that seeks to kill and destroy the innocent. Send your warrior angel, “Micheal” to preserve life and destroy evil. Lord, close the gates of the USA, the border to prevent those same evils from hunting down Christians and Jews in this nation, as they have threatened. In Jesus’ name, we pray it all! Amen! Stay encouraged!

WHAT’S BETTER THAN LIFE?

“I the Lover of your soul understand you perfectly and love you eternally!”

Aren’t you ecstatically happy that God loves our soul rather than performance or appearance? Sometimes we aren’t happy with the latter, especially when it becomes our main focus. Close the door to the distractions of the world (even in the church, of course you know the distractions of the world comes to church to steal, kill and destroy the worship experience, the God experience,  to counterfeit true worship.) Open the door to the presence of God and return to Him where you will receive the richest of foods. You shall be satisfied with His Love, which is better than life!

“O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods, with singing lips my mouth will praise you.”

Psalm 63:1-5

ARE YOU AWAKE?

A Comatose Condition!

God has prepared a path for you, and you will not deviate from the path if you stay close to Him in prayer, have an intentional consciousness of His presence, and awaken to who He is in your daily living. This is the most powerful way to remain on track and the most gratifying way.

 Religious people tend to multiply their duties, as they observe their religion, believing that God is satisfied that they can give Him more money,  more time, and more work without yielding to Him that which he desires most, a broken and contrite heart.

 It’s religious anesthesia that eventually pacifies the religious into an unconsciousness of the presence of God. They become spiritually comatose appearing to be awakened to Christ, but are unable to consciously feel, speak, hear, and move for Him.  They sat on the pew next to you each Sunday, or in a cubicle next to you every day in a deep sleep with no initiation of intentional voluntary spiritual connection and desire for God in daily living.   Many have learned to follow the proper protocol, rules of order, and programmatic rituals. They Fail to realize the root and essence of their religious practices are perceived mechanically. Over time the practice of religion becomes habitual, all that is done can be carried out with minimal effort and almost without thought. These traditionalist and religious rule followers offer a false sense of security, lulling the very soul into a comatose condition.

God is seeking an awakened soul today, one that is thrilled to be in His presence. You were created to glorify Him and enjoy Him for eternity. He provides joy when you do your part by living close to Him. Wake up to Christ living in you, speaking for you, and loving through you each day.

Deut. 6:5

“Love the Lord your God with all your soul and with all your strength.

JARS OF CLAY

Hello Clay Jar, Does the greeting appropriately address you?

How do you know?

Know This! You are God’s clay jar designed to be filled with Heavenly contents.

Many Christians understand the spiritual concept of being an earthen vessel filled with this precious treasure, but what most fail to accept and understand realistically is, you are also a leaky container, yes,  absolutely a leaky clay jar needing to be filled and refilled, over and over again. What good is a leaky container?  What do you do with your leaky containers? Have you found them to be useful? Maybe you get rid of them and throw them out with the trash, or place them on a discarded item shelf.

Why would God design you to be a leaky container? This week your leak may become a spill, and you need to know…

God has a plan to keep you filled. Lingering in the Presence of God, talking things over with Him wherever you are in your day,  enjoying the privilege of communing with the Creator of the universe, waiting with Him in prayerful worship allowing His very life to flow into you, and in His presence He chooses to fill YOU, His clay jar with His heavenly treasures even though you are at best, a leaky jar.

God designed you to be leaky because it keeps you looking to Him, depending on Him, communicating with Him. Your human condition, your frailty is necessary to demonstration that this all surpassing Power is from God NOT YOU! In His Presence He fills you with more Love, more Joy, more Peace, more Hope in full-measure, over-flowing-measure, through-you, into-others.  Ask Him today to fill you with His Love, Power and Peace.

Share this blog with a friend and let the Treasure-Light of Christ shine from you to a friend, and a friend’s friend into the uttermost parts of the world. Post a comment and bless the cyber-world for the Kingdom of God with your Treasure-Light! Let your Light, your treasures shine brightly today, into the lives of others.

II Cor. 4:7- “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
