Day 20

God isn't interested in our truth, because He says in Jeremiah 5:3 O LORD, are not Your eyes on the truth? He also says in another place John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
He decides what is truth, because He IS the truth.
Even when we fall, He is the truth.
Even when all else fails, He is the truth.
Even when I don't act like it, He is the truth.
Even when everyone else says differently, He is the truth.
Wen all the powers of hell itself say He is not, our Jesus Christ still IS The Truth!
Amen!

He Rose!

18 & 19 I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. Mark 14. Even though Peter denied that he would scatter, he did as well. Do we do that? Do we scatter, even though the shepherd rose? He didn't fail us, He was faithful all the way through, as He is yet today. He is God.
I don't want to wonder where I'm supposed to be, I just want to hear His voice. As You are faithful Lord, help me to be faithful, all the way through, in Jesus Name. Even though there is a spirit of unfaithfulness, and even though we are taught none of us are perfect, yet You are perfect Lord, You are righteous, and You live in us. You even inhabit our praises, so let us praise You often, as you deserve it, and are worthy of it, and it's what is do You!
Let us give to you what is rightfully Yours, and not give it to another, let us not rob from God in Jesus Name, that Name that is above every other name! Amen!

God's fast not ours

Day 17. My wife had a dream about me, and that's always a warning, cause I'm being naughty! So in the dream I fall asleep at the wheel, so she gives me a good shove, and I still don't wake up, then she gives me another shove and I still don't wake up, she actually thinks I'm dead. Then she finally gives me a good whack and I wake up. God wants me to wake up, and to stop sleeping spiritually. Every time I go off His plan, I stop hearing as well, and I fall asleep at the wheel spiritually.
My fast started out without solid foods, then without anything except water. But God really wanted from me much more. A life lived with constant prayer and fasting. This last Sunday our pastor talked about 1 Thes 5:16-18 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (Thanks biblegateway.com!)
I was reminded of Paul's extortion of "constantly be praying and fasting" and what really convicted me was how easy it is for me to focus on the sin around me, the whole idea of removing the plank from my eye first before going to anyone, if that's what He's even calling me to do! Also as I was laying before church on our couch the Lord told me to look up, and I did at the tree outside, and it's huge branches reached up to the sky, and The Lord showed me that I need to be a tree like that firmly planted in Him just standing there. The tree doesn't worry about people, it just stands there. The tree just provides shade on a hot day, a tree relives people from the heat, and that's what I need to be is a relief to people, a blessing, the remove their burdens if necessary. I need to stop grabbing the dog by the tail, and allow Him to convict people of their sin! He and His Spirit and the only Ones who can anyway!
Here's a friends blog that fired me up too: http://tamilleehungerproject.blogspot.com/2010/05/40-day-hunger-project.html?showComment=1275306855331_AIe9_BGVc98aydZkwZWSuxhw25C6JeoMVJEAN-D8zwk_cTFTUajG9scwsWLQLx_K166n2wRdpkTLkMS8-eZsZ0K0GPO9lI9Wuwex9aSBCgzhf56paK5uC-txuxmHSykYn7MheqBO3znawWS2d18M7D-P_aRo_FmyX5Xt8zSiLtiYvmJgtFmrogVdD0yFsssu-YESXJHh7rUFuKFRfcLA_q-5VTWPiOSVZRibZQ0qzvprUK5rpuwoLlE#c8992427325914433973
She calls it the Hunger project. Thanks Tami for being an inspiration, I Love you in Christ!
"Thank You Lord for inspiring any of us to do any good works, and Lord help us to always be with you, always be at your side, and always allow You to be our God, and to just be Your people, sweetly called by Your Name, that Name that is above every other Name!!!
We Love you Lord, in Jesus Name! Amen!"

God's Word today version 16

Blessed are those that do not see and yet believe.
I really hate it when I go astray. When I miss the mark just by a touch, it ends up bringing me to places I do not intend to go! When I start a little off, pretty soon it's WAY off! When the Lord whispers, I need to be really quiet so I can hear. Then when I hear, I need to obey. "Lord, if You've told me to let go of something, then let me really let go, and NOT pick it back up again! In Jesus Name!"

15 Days

Hebrews 11:8A By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place 10A for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Lord we are waiting to see all the things you are building and making, in us. Lord I want to see this city, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, but in the meantime, give us this day our daily bread, in Jesus Name, the Name that is above every other name!
I need to be obedient, to obey God. I need to lay it all down at His feet, cause He is so good.
Lord come, make Your Kingdom just the way You want it to look, in Jesus Name.
Had a bon fire last night with some friends. It was a sweet illustration of The Body getting together and fellowshipping, the kind you read about in the early church, can't wait to see them again today! Lord birth this kind of fellowship in us, let us become less and You more, in Jesus Name!!

The Day The Lord Spoke

Day 13. I started with a 4 day fast, now the more I eat, the less I hear. It seems God wants me to live a prayer and fasted life. I need to be devoted to God, and not food! Since I need to hear His voice my obedience needs to reflect that. If I obey Him little, shouldn't I hear Him little? This is not a walk of works, but yet faith without works is dead James tells us. So it's really just hearing His word in the first place, then as the Holy Spirit speaks to us and we actually hear His words, and then actually obey them, what more can we do but obey the words of God? It's what He has set before us to do.
So Lord this day let me hear your words, and then be a doer of those words.
Luke 8 There are seeds that fall by the wayside, and the devil comes and steals them way, then those on the rock are those that have no root and in time of temptation fall away, then those among thorns that are chocked out by the cares riches and pleasures of life and bring no fruit to maturity.
That's me, letting pleasure choke out the Words of God, their His words, not mine, and I've squandered them way too many times, forgive me Lord, in Jesus Name.
15 But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
