Want More

Shammah was teaching tonight about denying ourselves and believing in God's promises. I can't do his teaching any justice so I will express what I have been thinking about. Where we started reading from 2 Peter 1:3. Which the title of it says Growth in the Faith. This is a very powerful verse : For His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. That is an amazing thought that since His divine power has provided everything for life and godliness, we have no excuse at all. Wow. Well, I am sitting here looking at this and for once I am not sitting feeling like oh no I can't ever reach that. I am thinking I have work to do with help of course. I get so feeble minded so often unfortunately that I am still trying to learn some of the basics, sadly to say. I don't want to be that way. When Shammah said that the only difference between Abba and us is that he denies himself to attain to that divine power. I appreciate this teaching a whole lot. It definitely has given me some food for thought , just the two lines of what we read. It makes me think of in Genesis in the beginning when Adam and Eve were in the garden inside of Him.This is it for now.

Under Snow

I know what a funny title since there is not any snow on the ground or in sight. I was just sitting here thinking that sometimes I get in places of feeling gloomy. So I had the thought of our winters, sun is not out as much, no flowers to look at. Well, the same with our situations, sometimes we have fun, very busy to slow and sometimes just waiting for the next thing to do. It amazes me to think of our seasons, of how in God's creation he created them and they come to praise Him all year round, waiting His coming. I mean, just think of our trees of how they change season to season, buds and flowers in the Spring, green leaves in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall and then bare trees in the winter. Anyway being thankful and seeing the sun on a cloudy day takes effort. Thank you Father for always being near no matter the season. The other day I found myself in a great funk.I said something,after I spoke I felt so stupid, hope one day I will get passed that or at ...

John The Babtist Thoughts

Hi again. It is interesting how Shammah was talking about John at the same time that Amy Carmichael thought of him. She brought out when John sent the disiples to Jesus to ask Him if He is the one or not? His response for them to go back and tell John what they have seen and heard. John must have been so encouraged. Luke 7:22-23 Go your way, and tell John.... Before they got to the end of the mighty things they were to tell him, John's heart must have kindled with new hope: My Lord can do all that, He is doing all that, He is ominipotent. He is my loving Lord, and He is very near. He who is doing all these things will do great things for me. I shall soon be free- He who is opening the prison doors of death will open my prison door. Can you not hear him say it, or least feel him think it, as he listens to all the things His Lord can, and has done. And then instead of a promise and quick help, " Blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended with Me"- Matt 11:6 and that ...
