Doors and Windows - 87

  My main site has been down for a little while and i sure have been itching to get back to some regular content work on that site.  I will have it back online this week.  Many irons in the fire right now, but there has been an amazing sense of calm in the quiet time before this brewing storm...  while each Peace is put into place in this beautiful drama of Life that God has Created.  What i have experienced along the way is pretty comforting and something that i want to share with everyone else today - this day.  A scripture defines where i am in this walk - and the beauty of how the Word, the pure Truth in it becomes your life.  I am very fond of this Passage as it is one that i was given to memorize before i moved to Mississippi.




Phillipians 4:6-7
  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

  There is a great process that God performs inside you when you pray, with all your heart and mind to Him that His Will be done.  A dear friend and client shared with me the beautiful aspect of praying for God's Will.  God is pure and perfect and constant in love.  God doesn't change, so He changes us to be In and To Be His Will - you know for Him while we're here.  :)  This scripture doesn't say how your requests will be answered, it does state that you will be at peace and not worry - God will take it if you let Him have it.  But first, just let go and relax.

The unfortunate thing is that this is not obvious to all "Christians" that walk half the line and don't fully die to self.  It is past time to drop the old man off at the trash can and walk out through that door that Father has put in place for you - or through that window you have left cracked, just in case you needed to go through it.  Now is the time to get off the fence and earnestly seek God's face.

Ask Him to show you His Glory, boldly like Moses wanted - or like David... seeking Him always.  Put forth the effort in building your relationship with Jesus as your number one priority and let this effort replace the one that thing is now most important to you.  You will not be disappointed.
God is True, Jesus has a sense of humor, The Holy Spirit washes and leads and Comforts.   You will not be disappointed.

In the beginning of this year i began to have a very hopeful anticipation of where Life was heading.  Let's face it, we have all been going through some stuff and many people are looking for some relief, maybe some normalcy, or stability.  There is chaos around us all in varying degrees of "realness" and yet the guys working the knobs and switches behind the curtain keep telling us the water is just fine.  I feel your pain.  But consider the trials and tribulations as being "purified".  Through this same process we have to become humbled.  One important point is that when i had lost everything, when God was the only thing left that i could count on, that is when i realized that He was really all i ever needed to start with.  That has led to this great search to want to know God better, to know the Trinity, each separate yet all One and One inside me as well.

Well, tonight was mostly a ramble and a wanting, yearning, need to share.  i am reading a great book right now - The Counselor by A.W. Tozer.  He covers in detail, through many sermons, the Person of the Holy Spirit.  Very good, simple, nuts and bolts read - powerful.

Good Night and God Bless.  He strengthens Us!
